No.1 Supreme Warrior by Moneto

Chapter 251 – 300

Chapter 251
Ken was speechless. If that was the case, would that mean that jackie would not die?

“Such a good chance, how can I…” Neil was also troubled.

However, his eyes quickly lit up and looked at Ken as he suggested, “Why don’t we each come up with six million dollars? If he dies, we’ll foot the bill for him. That way, the general manager will surely let the match go on!”

Ken was surprised and cheered up instantly. “Of course! Six million dollars each is not too much. If we can have jackie killed, then we’ll profit greatly from this. Bloody h*ll, it turns out that this kid’s life is worth quite a lot of money after all!”

Having said that, Ken quickly raised his hand and announced loudly to the general manager, “General manager, I’ve thought about it. I know both jackie and his wife. We’re considered acquaintances. If they win the challenge, you should waive his bill!”

jackie was caught off-guard. He did not expect Ken to speak on his behalf.

The next second, Ken voiced out again. “If he dies, I’ll foot the bill for him. He’s already signed the consent form so you should let him try!”

jackie was speechless. So Ken was just afraid of him not being able to take part in the arena match.

“Are you serious?” Hearing that, the general manager was delighted as jackie would be dead for sure and only needed someone to foot the bill for him. He did not want jackie taking part in the match because he was afraid that nobody would foot the bill after he died. Even if this guy could not pay up, he could at least capture him and present him to his boss. That would still be better than a dead guy.

He had not expected Young Master Clark from a second-class aristocratic family to make such a request. It provided him with a way out.

“Could it be that Young Master Clark is willing to foot the bill after he dies? What a nice guy! Meanwhile, Britney and Matt’s expression turned ugly. They were wishing for jackie to be killed and leaving Selena unable to pay the bill, having her stay back.

Now their plans were foiled. If jackie died, someone was going to help Selena get out of this.

Very soon, Matt seemed to come to a realization and smiled. “Hey, Selena looks quite good. These young masters are probably trying to win her over.”

“It’s fine. With her man dead, that should be sufficient to teach her a lesson!” Britney sneered.

“Relax, I will definitely honor my promise. Moreover, there are so many people here to bear witness!” Ken gave the general manager a smile then quietly muttered to Neil next to him,

“Young Master Hugo, I’ll pay the money first. Later, you’ll have to settle the other half with me.”

“Worry not. If jackie’s dead, we’ll both gain the opportunity. It’s just 6 million dollars, I won’t cheat your money!” Neil answered happily.

“Alright then. Emcee, continue the match! The general manager waved at the emcee and stated, “Since he’s willing to risk his life just to get a free meal, we’ll not get in his way!”

“Alright, continue the match. The arena champion is still O’Neal with 11 consecutive wins!”

“Meanwhile, our challenger is jackie, a nameless soldier!”

“Everyone please take a bet and see if our jackie can last a full 10 seconds or just three?” the emcee announced cheerfully, confident that jackie would surely die. After that, he moved to the side.

“kid. I’m coming!” O’Neal burst out in laughter as he strode toward jackie. “Let me blow you away with one punch!”

Chapter 252
O’Neal had a playful look on his face. Looking at jackie’s physique, he seemed even smaller than Dennis. With that, he could not even take jackie seriously.

However, while O’Neal was around one meter away from jackie, he suddenly burst into action.

He jumped up in a flash and raised his right leg, sending a forceful kick at O’Neal’s neck. What went unseen was the short flash of light that came and went in an instant.

It seemed that jackie’s attack caught him completely off guard. O’Neal was not quick enough to respond. He was already hit by the kick just as his hands stretched forward.

At the same time, jackie gently landed back where he stood, hands behind his back. He seemed so carefree and relaxed.

“You…” O’Neal felt it. His cervical vertebrae were broken in an instant by the kick.

However, that was not the scariest thing. It was that unseen current that bore deep into his body from his neck. That flow of energy was extremely volatile. By all logic, it should have exploded long ago. However, it was seemingly restricted by something, only exploding when it reached specific locations.

O’Neal’s abdomen, chest, and a dozen other areas burst open, splattering blood everywhere. He spat out a mouthful of blood before falling straight onto the arena’s floor.

“What!? Those that were waiting to see jackie get slaughtered were all stunned. In less than a second after jackie’s attack, O’Neal was killed?

“Oh my god!” At first, Selena was worried about jackie but seeing the scene before her, she was shocked, her mouth opened slightly. She placed a hand over her mouth as she looked at him in disbelief.

The area turned silent in an instant before quickly going into an uproar again!

“Oh my god. Did my eyes play tricks on me? O’Neal was killed in an instant?”

“That’s right. How did O’Neal die before he could even make a move?”

“Impossible. Even Marshal Dennis was no match for O’Neal, yet this kid killed him with a single kick?” A number of people started exclaiming loudly.

“Wonderful! O’Neal’s a son of a b*tch that’s killed so many of our people. He deserves to die. This jackie guy is quite amazing!”

“Yeah, I didn’t expect him to have such terrifying strength. He actually managed to kill O’Neal in such a short time!”

Some of the audience cheered passionately instead.

“Yay, he won!”

Hugh and Rosa felt relieved. They did not wish for Selena to be widowed once more after her husband had finally returned from the battlefield.

“Selena’s husband is so amazing! My god, his strength is even greater than a marshal?” Dylan was just as excited. “Motherf*cker, that god damned American is finally dead.”

“I-I-Impossible!” Neil and Ken were dumbfounded. They were looking forward to seeing jackie’s death and Selena crying in tears. That would then allow them to take the chance to console her.

Selena might have even been touched by their actions, giving them hope. They did not expect this turn of events!

“H-h-he won?”

The general manager took a few steps back, unable to accept the outcome. Young Master Clark promised to foot the bill if jackie lost…

Chapter 253
Nevertheless, now that jackie won the match, Young Master Clark did not need to help settle the bill anymore. In fact, according to the rules set before, they needed to waive jackie’s bill and even pay him a three million dollars reward.

“General manager, for this matter… We didn’t expect him to win. It seems we’ve just saved some money!” Ken said with a smile despite feeling frustrated deep down.

jackie smiled nonchalantly and waved at Ken. “Thank you Young Master Clark for watching my back so I could fight without worry!”

“You’re welcome! We’re all acquainted and I’m even friends with Selena!” Ken laughed along, appearing as though he was on good terms with jackie.

Selena had a cold expression on her face as she remained silent. In the past, Ken carried himself like a gentleman. She had even treated him as a real friend. However, ever since this person came to her house and tried to forcefully have it demolished, she had finally seen through this two-faced persona.

Moreover, his willingness to foot the bill for jackie was with ulterior motives. Firstly, it was to have the general manager continue the match so that jackie would die. Secondly, it was to score brownie points with her. The bill totaled over 10 million dollars after all. If he paid the bill, other women might have really been touched and thrown themselves at him.

Unfortunately, Selena was not only beautiful, but she was also blessed with intelligence as well. She had long seen through the other party’s deceit.

“So strong! You’re so strong! jackie, you’re my hero!” The chubby Manager Wayne was teary-eyed. “You’re so awesome for saving my idol Dennis. Now you’re one of my idols too!”

Hearing that, jackie was at a loss on how to respond. Just how did he become her idol again?

“Brother Dennis!” A few men that looked like Dennis’ friends came looking for him and quickly ran up the arena’s stage. “Brother Dennis, are you okay? Your injuries are too severe. What should we do?”

“Call the ambulance! He should be able to survive this!” A woman interjected.

“No need for that. I have some medicine here. Just let him take that and bring him home to recuperate!” jackie walked over and crouched over Dennis, placing a black medicinal pill in his palm.

Dennis held the pill tightly and looked at jackie with his bloodshot eyes. “I-I-I…I’ve embarrassed our Daxia military!”

“Save your words. Just go back and treat your wounds! You didn’t embarrass our Daxia military, but instead honored us. Your soldier spirit is unbroken. Us soldiers should always fight to the last moment! We have to charge forward, even to our deaths!” jackie gave Dennis a smile before finally standing up. He took out a White-Sand cigarette and lit it.

“Brother Dennis, should we call the ambulance? Is this medicine reliable?” asked a man, frowning.

“It will work. Just bring me home!”

Dennis placed the pill in his mouth and swallowed it.

He knew in his heart that jackie, the Supreme Warrior, was not only good at taking lives, but was also equally good at saving them! On the battlefield, quite a number of soldiers were diagnosed to be beyond saving, yet they were all brought back to life by jackie. That was why the Supreme Warrior had another lesser-known title—Supreme Healer! A man like that was worthy of being worshipped by all of Daxia’s military.

Dennis was then carried away. At that moment, Selena’s eyes were red and she could no longer hold herself back.

She rushed up the stage and ran into jackie’s arms, pursing her sexy lips. “You oaf. How dare you give me a scare like that? Here I was thinking you might not be his match, yet you turned out to be so strong!”

“honey, I’ve already told you. It’s easy to kill this trash!” jackie chuckled, then looked toward the general manager and said, “General manager, you’ll honor your words, right? You have to waive our bill. Moreover, that three million dollars reward, I want it in cash!”

Chapter 254
The general manager’s face turned pitch black in a moment. It was not a simple 10 or 20 thousand dollars, but 12 million dollars! Furthermore, if not for the earlier discount, it would be over 14 million dollars. If he waived that bill and still paid out three million dollars, it would not just be some loss, but rather a huge hit for his business. When the time came, even his boss would reprimand and advise him against letting jackie take part in the match.

However, after some thought, he quickly broke into a smile. “what about this, little brother? We can come to a compromise. Your expenses are just too much. Those that spent their money here, including customers that booked a private luxury hall for themselves, would only have to pay around one to two million dollars. Don’t you think it’s a little over the top to have us waive such a huge bill for you as a new customer?”

Having said that, he paused for a moment before continuing, “What about this, I’ll give you a 50 percent discount. Your previous bill is over 14 million dollars. I’ll round it down for you to 14 million dollars. Adding on the 50 percent discount, you’ll only need to pay seven million dollars!”

After that, he reconsidered and added, “Of course, we’ll be giving you the reward. Deducting three million dollars from your prize money, you only need to pay us four million dollars!”

“What? After spending about 14 million dollars, he only needs to pay four million dollars? Isn’t that just too much of a benefit for that couple?” Across the room, Matt frowned.

“I don’t care. As long as his bill is not fully waived, that would be good enough!”

“I don’t care if it’s 14 million dollars or four million dollars. jackie won’t be able to pay up. As long as he can’t pay up, then the outcome is the same!” Britney cackled, patiently waiting for jackie and Selena to be beaten to death by the boss.

“What a joke!” jackie burst out laughing upon hearing the suggestion. “It’s only over 10 million dollars. It’s not like I can’t afford to pay it. However, since you’ve placed such a rule, you should honor it. What you promised was to waive the bill if I won the match, but you didn’t state how much you’d waive! Moreover, that three million is a prize reward that you must pay me! It’s a matter of principles!”

The general manager’s expression darkened immediately. “Kid, don’t make things difficult after I provided you a way out. This is our territory and our arena champion was someone we spent a lot of money to hire, yet here you go and have him killed. It’s already very generous of us not to pursue this matter with you!”

“What’s this? The great Lotus Bar and Lounge is trying to go back on a promise?” jackie was unfazed, staring straight at the other party.

However, Selena was a little scared. After all, the bar had a huge backer, a first-class aristocratic family, behind them. Otherwise, the rich kids around them would not have shut up and watched quietly instead of standing up for them.

“General manager, what about this? You waive the bill and I’ll leave the reward. We can come to another compromise! Take it as us using this three million dollars to pay for tonight’s expenses. How about it? Selena asked carefully as she took a step forward, tugging jackie’s sleeve at the same time.

“are you dreaming?” The general manager chuckled, then said, “With the arena champion dead, do you know how much loss that would incur on us? Moreover, the match earlier was not fair. It doesn’t count!”

Chapter 255
“Unfair?” jackie’s eyebrows twitched. “In front of everyone, with so many witnesses, you’re telling me it’s unfair?”

Unexpectedly the general manager retorted, “Of course it’s unfair. Dennis Howard is a marshal. He’d been fighting with O’Neal for so long. Although O’Neal won, he might’ve suffered serious injuries. It could have been that his internal injuries did not act up earlier…”

By that point, the general manager paused for a moment before continuing, “You, on the other hand, were at your peak and challenging an injured man. Do you think that’s fair? I don’t think you could’ve killed him if he wasn’t hurt!”

jackie was speechless. The person in front of him was rather resourceful, or he would not have been the general manager. His cunning was far beyond the others, seemingly allowing him to spin lies into truth.

Neil slapped his own forehead, enlightened. “That’s right, that must be it. This kid must’ve got a stroke of good luck! Like I said, he’s just an ordinary soldier. How could he possibly defeat O’Neal? Even Dennis was no match for O’Neal, much less this guy!” With that, Neil suddenly became the center of attention.

He then placed one hand behind him and raised his head slightly, saying with a smile, “Think about what happened earlier. jackie merely landed a single kick on O’Neal’s neck. I don’t think O’Neal, with his physique, would die from just a kick, right?”

“Oh yeah, that sounds about right!” Seeing an opportunity to pick on jackie, Ken immediately chimed in.

Neil then added, “Furthermore, O’Neal’s body, chest, and stomach were all hit by the great Marshal Dennis prior to the match. Coincidentally, those were the spots that burst open. What does that tell us? It proves that Marshal Dennis’ attack was the one that killed O’Neal!”

Hearing that, the general manager gave Neil a big thumbs up. “Young Master Hugo is truly smart. That’s right, I already felt that something was off but couldn’t put my finger on it. I finally understand now!”

“Yes, of course. That must be it. It felt weird to me too. How could he die from just a mere kick to the neck? Earlier, Marshal Dennis dished out so many ferocious attacks that landed on O’Neal, yet he managed to withstand it all. It proves that O’Neal’s endurance is really great!”

“ jackie, on the other hand, is scrawny, nowhere near Marshal Dennis. How can his one kick kill O’Neal?”

“That’s why, the one that killed O’Neal should be Marshal Dennis! This jackie dude is just incredibly lucky!” Britney jumped in, feeling ecstatic.

With that, even those that thought jackie was stronger than Dennis started their own discussions.

They felt that jackie was just extremely lucky. Even if he had not gone into the arena, O’Neal might have just burst open soon enough. Therefore, to them, it was Dennis that killed O’Neal while jackie was the lucky one.

Selena’s expression soured as well. She also felt that something was off. Although jackie was strong, it should not have been beyond that of a marshal. He was not a King of War or God of War. How was it possible for him to kill the opponent in just one kick? Whatever it was, she had to stick to the claim that jackie was the one that killed O’Neal. Otherwise, they could not afford to pay that bill of over 10 million dollars!

At that, Selena immediately piped up, “It doesn’t matter if jackie was lucky or not, he was the one that made the kill. It happened during the second match so we won! The attack was made after the emcee officiated the match! Therefore, this reward is ours and the bill must be waived!”

“Honey, you’re absolutely right!” jackie smiled in a carefree manner and gave Selena a big thumbs up.

Chapter 256
Selena rolled her eyes at jackie before speaking to the general manager. “We can forgo the three million dollars, but this bill must be waived!”

“That’s right. Boss, how can you go back on your words?” One of the rich kids spoke up after seeing the charming smile on Selena’s face, unable to resist white-knighting her.

“That’s right. Even if her husband was lucky, he was still the one that killed O’Neal. This is just like kill-stealing in a game. If he’s the one that did the last hit, that kill goes to him. Therefore, the glory should go to him as well.” Another man joined in as well, “You make quite the profit here everyday. How can you be so stingy?!”

“That’s right. If your bar lacks integrity, how would we dare spend our money here in the future?”

“Moreover, regardless of the fairness of the second match, it was something that you agreed to. Since you’ve agreed to it, that means that the rules apply!” stated a beautiful woman with her arms folded in front of her chest.

The general manager’s expression turned gloomy. With a sum over 10 million dollars, it was not really up to him to make the decision.

“I don’t care. If it wasn’t for this kid getting on stage, my idol Dennis would’ve been killed by O’Neal. Although jackie had only gone up and got the last hit, that hit was crucial!”

After Manager Wayne gave it some thoughts, she walked up to the general manager and whispered, “General manager, I think we should just waive the bill. We need to think about the long game!”

The general manager almost had an aneurysm. This manager was just too dumb. Why would she be helping the outsiders?

He gave it some thoughts, then finally stated, “This bill is over 10 million dollars. It’s not my decision to make. How about this, I’ll give my boss a call and tell him about the situation. We’ll make a decision then!”

With that said, the general manager went off to make the phone call.

After a moment, he came back once again. “The boss said that you can have the reward since you won the match. Going by the rules, the bill will also be waived!”

Hearing that, Selena was delighted. She held onto jackie’s hand, exclaiming, “Honey, this is great! We don’t have to pay and even gained three million dollars!”

Right at that moment, the general manager continued unexpectedly, “However, our boss has a condition!”

jackie’s expression darkened. “What other condition? Your boss should think carefully if he’s even qualified to negotiate with me!”

At that moment, jackie was pissed at how the other party was going back on their words.

Moreover, they even hired an American to be the arena champion that led to the death of so many Daxian men. It was already very generous of jackie to not destroy their entire establishment.

“Kid, you’re quite the feisty one. Our boss is the younger brother of the Roy family’s master! for him to speak to you is already favorable treatment from him. How dare you make such insolent statements?!”

The general manager then sneered, “Kid, you’re lucky that our boss is still on his way over. If he was here and heard those words from you, you’d be dead!”

“This guy is too arrogant! He’ll eventually learn what regret is!” Britney growled through gritted teeth.

Originally, they should have all been leaving after the arena match. However, out of curiosity, those that watched the arena match did not leave the venue. They were all curious to find out what condition the boss of the Lotus Bar and Lounge would request for. It appeared that their boss did not wish to let jackie waive his meal and give him the three million dollars reward that easily as well.

Chapter 257
“Sigh, I can’t believe that Master Roy’s brother would be so stingy. It’s only 10 million dollars and yet he’s unwilling to part with it! He won’t go far in life!” jackie let out a long breath, appearing relaxed.

Hearing his statement, more people felt speechless. ‘This person is just too relaxed. That’s over 10 million dollars, it’s not a small figure. A lot of people can’t even make that much money in their entire life.’

Even if the Roy family were rich, it would not hurt them to save as much as they could. Moreover, that kid could not pay his own bill and yet, he was looking down on the 10 million dollars. They had no idea what was the source of his confidence.

jackie took a look at the time and frowned. “Time flies. It’s already almost 11.30pm. I’ll give your boss another 10 minutes. If he doesn’t arrive in 10 minutes, I’m going to leave. I still need to go to bed!” Having said that, jackie stretched his back before continuing, “Otherwise I might be late for work tomorrow. Can you bear that responsibility?”

Everyone was dumbfounded. ‘This kid is too good at acting tough, he’s truly talented. How can he spin his dine and dash into something so inconsequential?’

Most importantly, he even claimed that someone from a first-class aristocratic family might not be able to bear the responsibility of him being late to work.

“how much is your salary? What kind of job is it? Do share with us. I’d like to find out if we can bear this responsibility! I’m a general manager with lowly wages. My monthly income is only 550 thousand dollars! How much do you make a day? I’ll pay you, alright?”

The general manager burst into a fit of laughter as though he was watching a comedy.

“550 thousand dollars a month is quite good!”

“Yeah, this general manager’s life is quite lavish!”

Some people started talking among themselves. Meanwhile, the general manager’s face was filled with bliss, enjoying the moment.

“I’m just a bodyguard!” jackie made a faint smile, then continued, “However, my monthly wage is 20 million dollars. If we break it down, then it should be 666 thousand dollars a day. Since you plan to pay my salary for a day, I’ll round it down for you. You can just pay me 600 thousand dollars!”

Standing beside him, Selena was dumbfounded. jackie was just too daring. That was just intentionally antagonizing the other party. If they were really pissed off, then things would get troublesome. As expected, the general manager’s expression turned uglier by the second.

He gritted his teeth. “Kid, you’re a bodyguard with a monthly pay of 20 million dollars? I think you’re insulting our intelligence! Just who do you think you are? If you say that you’re a marshal or a King of War, I might believe you. However, you’re nothing. You’re just a normal bodyguard. Do you think I’ll believe you?”

Having said that, he then pointed at the few big guys in black suits and said, “This kid is too arrogant. Go teach him a lesson while the boss is on his way. Take it as an assessment of his strength!”

“I’ve killed O’Neal, yet you’re asking these trash to kill me? What are you, stupid?” jackie looked at the few big guys, feeling helpless. These ordinary bouncers were even less of a match for him.

“Kid, don’t look down on us. We’re all retired mercenaries. Do you think we’re just average Joes?”

“That’s right. This kid is too insolent. We’ll have to teach him a lesson or he’ll remain deluded about his strength!”

The big guys in black suits were long annoyed by jackie. They quickly surrounded him.

“Everyone, please don’t fight. We can talk it out!” The sight of so many big guys scared Selena.

“Honey, please move back. Since they’re itching for it, I’ll have a little stretch!” jackie stated with a relaxed smile.

Chapter 258
However, Selena did not back off. Instead, she pulled jackie back and said in a worried tone, “Please stop fighting. Their boss is from a first-class aristocratic family. If we offend them, it’s equivalent to offending a first-class aristocratic family!”

jackie forced a smile, then looked at the people behind him before speaking, “Honey, do you think it’s possible to not fight now? They’re coming at us on their own. Am I supposed to stand here and let them kill me?”

Selena finally realized that it was too late. The general manager gave the order for his lackeys to take jackie out. They could not possibly just become sitting ducks.

She thought about it, then backed off a few steps. “You be careful then. Even if you can defeat them, please don’t kill them. By then, the situation will be unsalvageable!”

jackie nodded. “Relax, they’re just working under orders. Of course I won’t kill them!”

“You two are really funny. Are you trying to perform a skit for us at a time like this?” one of the big guys chuckled.

“It seems that they think this conversation will intimidate us? do you really think you killed O’Neal with your ability? You’re just lucky to have made the last hit when O’Neal is seriously injured!” said another guy.

Yet another guy broke into a grin. “I’m guessing that Marshal Dennis must’ve known some terrifying fist technique. His fist technique’s strength lies in its ability to leave behind lingering energy in the opponent’s body after an attack. It may not seem like much and the opponent would hardly feel the injury. However, once the energy collects and reaches a certain time, it will explode. That’s why O’Neal’s body finally burst open!”

At that point, he stopped momentarily and then continued, “You, on the other hand, had merely got lucky and kicked O’Neal right as the energy exploded!”

“So that’s what it was. As expected of a marshal, what a miraculous fist technique!”

“That’s why. Here I was wondering how a nameless soldier like him could instantly take out O’Neal. So that was the reason. He’s gotten really lucky!”

“Ah, I get it now!”

The other bystanders were coming to their own realization. The scene where jackie killed O’Neal with a mere kick had shocked them greatly, to the point that they thought jackie was a King of War or even God of War. With further consideration, they finally figured out the reason. Seeing that everyone had come to the same conclusion, jackie felt relieved.

All the while, he wanted to keep a low profile. He only wanted to stay beside his wife and daughter and pass their days in peace without being disturbed. Otherwise, he would have people looking to gain his favor wherever he went with insincere words. Just the thought of a life like that gave him a headache. If not for that, his own disciple Lana Zechs would not need to wear a mask or shades before going out.

Earlier, in order to save Dennis, he was forced to take action. However, Dennis was a marshal. If he defeated O’Neal, that would expose his own strength and bring about suspicions. In order to hide his identity and keep his terrifying strength a secret, jackie resorted to that move, one that made everyone feel that O’Neal’s death was most likely due to Dennis.

Of course, he was also lucky that Dennis had fought O’Neal in a dragged out match and landed so many punches on his opponent. His opponent had indeed taken quite some damage, therefore making it a believable story. As for his kick on O’Neal’s neck that led to his chest and abdomen bursting apart, it was done intentionally to make others feel that something was off. It would also divert their attention to Dennis.

“You’re right. That must have been what happened!” Unexpectedly, jackie admitted it with a smile.

However, he turned to the big guys and said, “Although I’m no match for Dennis and O’Neal, I’m still capable of dealing with the few of you!”

“we’re not as weak as you think!” One guy dashed at them after laughing out loud, sending a punch at jackie.

jackie shifted slightly to the side and avoided the opponent’s attack. With a backhanded pull, a great surge of force caused the opponent to lose his balance as he immediately fell face-first to the ground.

“Motherf*cker, you’re quite fast!” Two other guys attacked jackie from two different directions.

Chapter 259
jackie sent out two consecutive kicks, sending his opponents flying before they crashed hard onto the floor.

He reversed his hands for two more punches, blowing yet another two guys away.

However, they quickly climbed back onto their feet.

“This guy is weaker than Dennis!” someone exclaimed.

“That’s right. If he had Dennis’ strength, those five wouldn’t be able to stand back up. They might have even been coughing up blood by now!”

Britney chimed in, “ jackie was just lucky earlier. He sure gave me a scare when I thought he had a King of War’s strength. Turns out he was just acting tough!”

“Yeah. With this test, his true strength will be exposed anytime soon!” Matt nodded along. “If not for Marshal Dennis spending so much time fighting O’Neal, jackie would’ve been killed immediately!”

“You guys, join in!” The general manager looked at the other bulky guy and said, “Go at him together. I refuse to believe that we’d lose to this guy!”

Right then, the other few guys that did not join the fray suddenly rushed at jackie simultaneously. Unfortunately, they were still no match for jackie and were sent flying one after another. After some time, they were all lying on the ground and some even coughed up blood.

“Useless! You can’t even defeat him with so many of you!” The general manager was clenching his fists angrily as he bellowed.

jackie looked at his behavior, then waved at him. “Since you said they’re useless, you should come at me!”

Having said that, jackie gave him the middle finger, further taunting him. “Come!”

The general manager almost had an aneurysm. He was just a backseat driver as he knew nothing about fighting. Right at that moment, a man with a huge bouncing belly walked in with a few men in black suits, holding a cigar in his hand.

“Why are you guys fighting?”

The man gave off the aura of a ruler. Although his looks were mediocre, he carried a strong presence.

“Boss, this kid was being disrespectful. He was claiming that you weren’t qualified to negotiate with him! This is just a blatant slander against our Roy family!”

“That’s why I told them to rough him up a bit. However, this kid is unexpectedly strong, hence…” the manager reported respectfully after he took a few steps forward and bowed.

The man with the cigar took a slow, long puff before stating, “As long as he’s strong. I was worried that he wouldn’t be strong enough!”

Having said that, he turned to jackie. “Kid, I can let all our past conflicts slide. This bill of 10 million dollars can be waived too. As for that three million dollars reward, that’s yours as well.”

At that point, he paused for a moment before breaking into a grin. “However, you killed the expert that I spent a fortune on to hire as the arena champion. That makes it difficult for me to run my business in the future.”

“So what? Didn’t your arena match have us sign a consent form? Could it be that only the arena champion is allowed to win while the other challengers are supposed to just lose?” jackie mocked with a cold smile.

“that’s not what I meant. I, Keaton Roy, am not someone that cannot afford to lose. Since you’re quite strong, I hope that we can work together and have you be the next arena champion!”

Chapter 260
“What?! He’s hiring him as the arena champion!” some people exclaimed as they finally understood what was happening.

“It’s dangerous to be the arena champion. Encountering an expert would be as good as death. Even if the opponent were gracious enough not to kill, he would most likely be disabled!” said another bystander.

“However, the arena champion is a profitable position. The pay is not tallied per month but per match instead. Only when someone registers for the challenge will there be a match!” others chimed in.

“What a lucky guy. He got his bill waived, gained three million dollars, and most importantly, he found a job!” Matt was speechless. At first he hoped for jackie to take the challenge and get killed by O’Neal just so that he could add to Selena’s suffering. He had not expected this to be the outcome!

“I’m sorry but I’m not interested!”

“Moreover, I advise you to stop these activities, otherwise…your bar might be closed down!” jackie reminded him with a shrug.

“brother, you really know how to joke. This is the territory of a first-class aristocratic family. An ordinary person wouldn’t have the authority to close this place down!” Keaton burst out laughing, then narrowed his eyes. “I don’t like to beat around the bush. I’ll ask you one last time. Will you be the arena champion!?”

“The answer is the same. Not interested!” jackie shrugged once more, firm with his decision.

“You’re choosing the less favorable option, eh?” With a scornful smile, Keaton waved his hand. “Rocky, give him a good beating. Moreover, he must pay every single cent for tonight’s bill. Otherwise, don’t let him leave!”

“Yes boss!” Rocky was a one-eyed man. He kneaded his fists before stepping forward.

“Looks like you’re a lot stronger than these guys!” jackie glanced at those big guys in suits lying on the floor. He could tell that Rocky was not a simple person.

From the way he walked, he noticed something was different. Of course, a person like this was inconsequential to jackie.

“Good observation!” Rocky smirked. “In that case, are you scared?”

“Not at all. I’ve never been scared during my five years on the battlefield, much less because of you!” jackie forced a smile.

“You’re rather confident!” Rocky replied as he prepared to act.

Right then, a middle-aged woman with a little boy made her way in through the crowd. She looked at the situation and immediately shouted, “Stop!”

Rocky was surprised and immediately turned around, greeting her loudly, “Mrs. Roy!”

“Honey, what’s wrong?” Keaton frowned immediately with a confused look on his face.

Taking a look, Selena’s heart was overjoyed. She did not expect this woman to be Mrs. Roy. jackie had just saved her son at the zoo in the morning. No wonder she was able to offer 50 million dollars as a reward just like that. It turned out that she was from a first-class aristocratic family.

Chapter 261
“Benefactor, why are you here? I’ve really misunderstood your intentions at the zoo this morning. I thought you weren’t a doctor and therefore, didn’t know how to treat my son. Surprisingly, my son’s leg is all better now as he’s able to run and jump!” Mrs. Roy brought her son to jackie, then urged her son, “Go say thank you to this uncle. If not for him, you’d be dead!”

“Thank you uncle, you’re so amazing! I want to be as strong as you are in the future! Thank you for chasing the tigers away or I’d be dead!” Little Jake looked at jackie, his eyes filled with admiration and respect.

“What?!” Keaton took a deep breath, then asked anxiously, “Honey, i-i-is he the benefactor who held down two Siberian tigers with each of his hands that you told me about?” Keaton was very anxious, to the point where his voice was trembling.

“That’s right. I didn’t think he’d be here. What’s happening?” Mrs. Roy asked suspiciously after looking at the people lying about on the floor.

“A misunderstanding, it’s all a misunderstanding!” Keaton then carefully introduced them to his wife before saying apologetically, “I didn’t expect that he would be the benefactor I’d been looking for all this while!”

“It can’t be. He’s actually the man that defeated the Siberian tigers, my idol?!” Manager Wayne’s eyes were twinkling as she almost jumped out of her seat. She had finally met her idol. Now there was only that one idol remaining, the one that killed over 200 men from the Dragon God clan.

“Is this for real? I’ve heard this afternoon that someone saved a kid that fell into the tiger viewing zone at the zoo. The situation was terrifying. I didn’t expect that kid to be the son of this establishment’s boss!”

“Moreover, the person that saved his son was actually jackie!”

Britney was quite badly shaken. To hold a tiger down with one hand, even if his strength was lesser than Dennis, was not something an ordinary person was capable of. It would seem that jackie, who was a soldier on the battlefield for five years, had some ability that was sufficient enough to be considered an expert.

“Y-y-you almost had Rocky kill our benefactor! If not for him, our son would’ve been devoured by the tigers!” Mrs. Roy was furious, pulling at Keaton’s ears.

“Ouch, it hurts. Honey, please, lighten your grip. We’re outside now. Didn’t you promise to not embarrass me in public? There are so many people watching now!” Keaton’s face turned red from the pain, dropping his cigar on the floor as he begged for mercy.

Upon witnessing the scene, everyone was dumbfounded. They did not expect him to be henpecked.

jackie and Selena exchanged looks, then showed an odd expression on their faces. Selena felt the burden in her heart lighten. It seemed that she would not have to worry about being held here tonight.

“What are you waiting for? Go apologize to our benefactor. Here you are trying to have him be your arena champion. How can you be this dumb?” Mrs. Roy let go of Keaton’s ears then placed her hands on her hips, assuming an intimidating pose.

It was apparent that this woman was not someone a normal person could match when she threw a tantrum.

Keaton finally walked awkwardly toward jackie and bowed respectfully. “I’m sorry. All that was a misunderstanding. I really didn’t know that you were the benefactor I’d been looking for to express my gratitude! If not for you taking action, my son would’ve been a goner. He’s my only child!”

Having said that, he raised his head and looked directly at jackie. “Your bill for today will be waived. That three million dollars reward is too little. To show my gratitude, I’ll pay you 100 million dollars!”

“What! 100 million dollars!?” Rosa, Hugh, and the others all gasped. 100 million dollars. That was 100 million dollars! jackie had just hit the jackpot. Moreover, jackie and Selena could finally live a comfortable life.
