Chapter 339
Boom!
After the dull noise sounded, Kyrie and the shadow took three steps backward.
The shadow was none other than Gunnar’s grandfather, Abel Flynn. In terms of both status and power, he was on par with Kyrie.
“Abel, you stubborn old man! Don’t you feel ashamed for sneaking an attack on a young man?” Kyrie was furious. Thomas was the man his deceased friend had entrusted to him, but now, Thomas was gravely injured because of Abel’s punch. If he realized this any later, Thomas would be dead meat by now. If that happened, what would he say to his deceased friend in the afterlife?
“Ugh!”
A mouthful of fresh blood spurted out of Thomas’ mouth. In an instant, he was covered in blood. His face and clothes were bloody, which was a stark contrast to his deathly pale face. Meanwhile, his eyes were filled with hatred as he glared at Abel.
He was so focused on torturing and killing Gunnar that he hadn’t noticed someone creeping up behind him. Even if he had noticed Abel, it wouldn’t have changed anything. Abel was so strong that he sent Thomas flying at a distance equivalent to several streets. It would be a piece of cake for Abel to injure Thomas.
When Thomas heard Kyrie’s words, he sneered. Just as expected, he was a member of the Flynn Family. Nonetheless, it made sense. Save for the Flynns, no one else could’ve done something as shameless as attacking someone from behind.
Even though Thomas was suffering from the side effects of toning up his body, it wasn’t entirely a bad thing. His body had turned extremely resilient. If not, that single punch from Abel would’ve killed him.
“Thomas!”
Olivia couldn’t contain her emotions anymore and she dashed into the arena like a gust of wind. She then grabbed Thomas’ arm, her tears streaming down her face like raindrops.
Abel ignored Kyrie as he produced a pill from his pocket, then tossed it into his grandson’s mouth.
“Ack!”
The mysterious pill Abel fed his grandson seemed to have revived the man. In a few seconds, Gunnar managed to recover himself.
“Grandpa, Grandpa… Avenge me! Kill Thomas for me!”
Gunnar felt extremely lucky. He initially thought that he would die by Thomas’ hand today, but at the most crucial moment, his grandfather descended from above and rescued him. Since things had turned out like this, he wouldn’t let Thomas off the hook just like that! Thomas had to die!
“Don’t talk. Adjust your breaths,” Abel said, then raised his head and looked at Thomas suspiciously.
He had used 70 percent of his skill in that punch just now, but surprisingly, it didn’t kill the young man. What was going on?
Kyrie passed Thomas to his grandson, then rolled up his sleeves as he said, “Abel, quit pretending like you’re mute. You know the rules of the Travis Family. Without our permission, no one can fight on our family grounds. You not only fought, but you also shamelessly attacked Thomas from behind. What do you mean by this? Are you trying to declare war on our family?”
Abel glanced at Kyrie in disdain. Declare war? Who was Kyrie trying to intimidate? How could families in a position like the Flynns and the Travises start a war just like that? If they truly started a war, the entire Droycore would be thrown into chaos!
“Stop strutting around, Kyrie! I was forced to do it, but so what? Do you think I’d just sit by and watch as my grandson dies on your family grounds? If the descendants of your family took Gunnar’s place today, would you just let them die? Moreover, this is your territory, so why didn’t you let Reuben save my grandson? Are you doing it on purpose?”
When Kyrie heard Abel’s words, he laughed in anger. Abel had truly widened his horizons today. He not only sneaked an attack but was now trying to blame things on other people! He was supposed to be a well-known, prominent figure, but all that effort amounted to nothing!
Kyrie extended a finger and pointed at Abel. “Firstly, it was your grandson who suggested the duel to the death. If I’m not mistaken, he’s 25 this year, right? He’s no longer a little child, so he has to take responsibility for his actions. He isn’t strong enough, so if he dies, he only has himself to blame. Secondly, these circumstances will never befall the descendants of the Travis Family, for we don’t have useless descendants like yours!”
“Nonsense!”
When Abel heard Kyrie boldly calling his grandson useless, he couldn’t hold it in anymore and said with all abandon, “Okay, so I saved my grandson and attacked Thomas from behind. So what?”
Rules like the duel to the death and being forbidden to fight on the Travises’ grounds without their permission were just nonsense. So what if they were rules? Weren’t they set by humans in the first place?
“Are you seriously asking me that question? Alright, then, I’ll tell you what’s going to happen!”
Kyrie took two steps forward, releasing his roaring aura without refraining. Everyone present only felt an unusual sense of pressure as if a mountain was weighing on them.
Kyrie’s terrifying might was as clear as day!
When Kyrie thought about it, he realized that he hadn’t fought in two decades, but Abel had gone too far today. He didn’t mind teaching this old b*stard a lesson.
Seeing that Kyrie had gotten serious, Abel frowned deeply. In terms of power, Kyrie was on par with him, but in terms of family status, the Travises were securely ahead of the Flynns. After all, the hidden forces behind the Travises were much stronger than the ones behind the Flynns. If Abel were to engage in a full-blown fight with Kyrie, it would spell trouble for him.
Was Kyrie out of his mind? Was he seriously going to fight Abel for the sake of a youngling?
Who exactly was Thomas, then? It was true that Thomas could defeat Gunnar despite his young age, which was proof of his capabilities, but it wasn’t a good enough reason for Kyrie to get so worked up for his sake.
“Mr. Travis, allow me!”
Before Kyrie could act, Thomas spoke up behind him. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Thomas was the one who injured Gunnar, and he was also the one Abel had attacked from behind. No matter how he looked at it, the events that happened today concerned him, and the Travises weren’t involved at all. There was no reason for the Travises to interfere.
“Thomas!” Olivia tightened her grip on Thomas’ arm. He was already gravely injured, so how could he fight anymore? Didn’t he know how worried she was for him?
Thomas forced a smile on his face as he reached out and touched Olivia’s beautiful face. “Don’t cry. You look better when you smile. Don’t worry, I’m fine. I’ll rest for a few days after this. I’m made of iron, after all.”
Olivia gazed at Thomas affectionately, staying silent. If it were possible, she earnestly wished that she could endure Thomas’ suffering in his place.
The Flynns and the Wilkersons walked into the arena and stood behind Abel. Abel passed Gunnar, who was in his arms, to his son, then stared warily at Kyrie.
