“Bourbon, you old dog, do you think you’re strong enough? Do you have what it takes?” Christopher straightened up, his eyesblazing with anger. He added, “I could’ve taken you down thirty years ago, and | still can.”

“Come on, old friend, cut out the theatrics. You may be able to fool others, but not me.” Antonio sneered and shook his head.Hecontinued, “After all those battles, you must be full of scars. And after the recent explosion and my hard palm strike, you must bebadly hurt. You can’t even stand up straight, can you?”

“If you doubt me, come and find out.” Christopher motioned for Antonio to come closer, ready for a fight.Antonio eyedChristopher from head to toe, not wanting to fight him. Instead, he continued to taunt, “Old friend, losing your son has got to hurt.| spent five years training, but unfortunately, he didn’t make it.”"“So, it was you, you sly old dog!”Christopher gritted his teeth, andhis breath quickened. “If you had a grudge, you should've come for me. Why my son of all people?”Antonio chuckled. “Attackingyou head -on is too tough. That's why | had to take advantage of your weak spot. Your son, Gage, is your Achilles’ heel.”Hecontinued, “Oh, | almost forgot to mention. Gage’s wife, who hanged herself in the Murray residence five years ago, is mydaughter!”“What... What did you say?” Christopher recoiled, finding it hard to believe.“Surprised, huh?” Antonio chuckled.“To getback at you, | had my daughter get close to your son and make him fall in love. When the time was right, | set her up, laying thefoundation for the feud between you and your son.“A perfect plan, wouldn’t you say?” You heartless son of a bitch!” Christopherseethed with rage. “To get your revenge, you'd even sacrifice your daughter? Are you even human?” What is the use of havingchildren? In Kimboku, children would make sacrifices for their parents. “My daughter willingly played her part for my revenge. It isher honor. No matter what, she did it and played her part.”Antonio was indifferent. To him, greatness meant ruthlessness. Thesacrifice of his daughter was a small price to pay.“Screw you! You'll die for this!"Christopher’s eyes widened. He lunged forwardand delivered a powerful strike at Antonio. Antonio’s eyes narrowed, and he countered with a palm strike. The iron palms of twograndmasters collided in midair, creating a deafening blast. Furious energy poured out, and a shock wave spread from the pointof impact. It knocked some unfortunatebystanders off their feet and made them cough up blood. Antonio was thrown back morethan thirty feet, leaving a deep trail in the ground as he came to a stop.But Christopher only backed away two steps beforeregaining his balance. The difference between their strengths was obvious.“Go to hell!” Just as Christopher was about to strikeagain, his body trembled. He coughed up blood, and his body almost failed him. Because of his previous injuries, using hispower was extremely taxing on his body.At the sight of it, Antonio couldn’t help but laugh. “Old friend, it looks like your time isup.” He was lucky that his opponent was already wounded. Otherwise, he might not have survived this last blow.“You vilescoundrel!”Christopher gritted his teeth and felt his inner energy dwindle, leaving him completely powerless.
