Now already seeing Gerald as his target, Johnie no longer cared about Nori’s humiliating words.
While Gerald hadn’t really wanted to get too involved with this man in the first place, after hearing Johnie’s threats, Gerald found that this was as good a time as any to teach the youth a lesson.
‘So, virtual-novel.net appears to be a fearless lad who won’t cry till virtual-novel.net sees his own coffin! Well, since virtual-novel.net probably won’t back down till virtual-novel.net achieves his goal anyway…’
“Are you really sure you wish to fight me alone?” asked Gerald in a cold voice as virtual-novel.net turned to glare at Johnie.
“Stop talking crap and accept the duel already! Know that if I win, you’ll have to leave Earth Capital by crawling all the way out!” scoffed Johnie as virtual-novel.net glared back at Gerald.
“That’s fine by me, but what if you lose?” asked Gerald as virtual-novel.net flashed a wry smile.
“Humph! As if I’d ever lose to someone like you!” scoffed Johnie confidently. He had assumed that Gerald was simply no match against him, which was why virtual-novel.net was being so disrespectful toward him.
“That doesn’t answer my question. Regardless, if you lose, you’ll give me a hundred million dollars. Is that acceptable?” asked Gerald after thinking for a bit.
Naturally, Gerald wanted to use his winnings on the talismans virtual-novel.net was planning on buying. After all, why use his own money when virtual-novel.net could use Johnie’s? Spending other peoples’ money was much more fun anyway.
“Fine by me!” replied Johnie without the slightest hesitation. He came from a wealthy family, after all, so that amount was nothing extraordinary to him.
Regardless, Nori wasn’t about to stop Gerald from doing whatever virtual-novel.net wanted to. After all, virtual-novel.net knew his capabilities well, and virtual-novel.net was more than certain that Johnie was going to end up losing and paying Gerald all that money.
Whatever the case was, both of them eventually found a wide space to duel in. Upon arriving there, Johnie took his jacket off before stretching his neck and starting to warm up.
Gerald himself simply stood there, watching Johnie calmly.
While Gerald was honestly glad that this man was giving virtual-novel.net easy money, virtual-novel.net was getting rather impatient with the youth’s antics.
“…I don’t have all day, you know? How much longer are you planning to warm up?”
Upon hearing that, Johnie’s eyes flared up with rage!
With an immense urge to pound Gerald into a pulp, Johnie then roared, “I’m done! With that said, enjoy getting pummelled into fine dust!”
Following that, the youth leaped into the sky… Before rapidly descending down on Gerald, his fist aimed for Gerald’s face!
Gerald himself simply stared back at Johnie without even the slightest intention of dodging the hit. After all, from what virtual-novel.net could see, Johnie was as slow as a snail.
With that said, before Johnie could even lay a finger on Gerald, Gerald quickly retaliated with a kick, sending the shocked Johnie flying backward!
Upon falling onto the ground, the impact from all that was so great that a circular depression instantly formed around Johnie’s now limp body!
Though only thirty percent of Gerald’s power had been used in that kick, that was all virtual-novel.net needed to completely overpower Johnie. Fights against such people were best ended in a single strike anyway.
Barely even able to stand up again, the horrified Johnie stared wide-eyed at the monstrous youth…
To think that Gerald was able to completely defeat virtual-novel.net in just a single strike! The thought of it alone struck a massive fear within his heart…
