“Amari Wooler, was it really you who poisoned the president?” Cayden Wooler shouted angrily at Amari Wooler.
The other elders and members of the chamber also turned to look at Amari Wooler, many with expressions of extreme anger.
“To impose a crime without evidence, if the president wants to force some baseless charges on me, I have nothing to say!” Amari Wooler ignored Cayden Wooler and continued to look at Kole Wooler.
“Whether you admit it or not is irrelevant!” Kole Wooler responded.
After a slight pause, his tone deepened, “Bring out the person behind you! I want to see who dares to covet my Akabuchi Chamber of Commerce!”
“Father, could there be some misunderstanding about this matter, Elder Amari…” Gerardo Wooler took a deep breath and spoke.
“Ungrateful son, shut up! I’ll deal with you later!” Kole Wooler angrily interrupted him.
“President, I reiterate, this matter has nothing to do with me. If you must…” Amari Wooler said again.
“If you still refuse to admit it, let’s see how long you can hold out!” Kole Wooler interrupted him once more.
As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared from his original spot and reappeared in front of Amari Wooler in the blink of an eye.
Immediately, a powerful aura burst from him, making the entire space feel like a vacuum, suffocating everyone around.
The next moment, a gigantic phantom hand reached for Amari Wooler. The sky flashed with lightning and thunder, and a storm seemed imminent.
Facing Kole Wooler’s attack, Amari Wooler naturally wouldn’t surrender easily. He raised his hand to meet the attack with full strength.
A deafening explosion echoed across the sky, shaking the entire space and creating dozens of dark cracks around them. The powerful shockwave spread like a hurricane, sending everyone within a few kilometers flying. Some weaker individuals spat out blood directly.
At the same time, Kole Wooler and Amari Wooler were both thrown back thousands of meters, each with blood at the corners of their mouths.
In one move, they were evenly matched!
“President, it seems your injuries haven’t fully healed!” Amari Wooler steadied himself and looked at Kole Wooler with narrowed eyes and a slightly relieved expression.
Initially, when he saw Kole Wooler appear, his heart sank several times. As an elder of the Akabuchi Chamber of Commerce, he knew very well Kole Wooler’s strength. If Kole Wooler were in peak condition, he wouldn’t stand a chance.
That’s why he had vehemently denied any involvement in the matter; he had no confidence in surviving under Kole Wooler’s hand.
But after that exchange, he felt much more at ease. Kole Wooler’s injuries clearly hadn’t fully healed, making his combat power only on par with Amari’s or perhaps even slightly weaker.
He was confident that if the fight dragged on, he would be the one to emerge victorious!
“Are you willing to admit it now?” Kole Wooler asked in a deep voice after a brief pause.
“President, a wise man submits to circumstances!” Amari Wooler no longer denied it.
After a slight pause, he continued to look at Kole Wooler. “The Akabuchi Chamber of Commerce should have a broader stage. If you voluntarily give up your position as president and leave Akabuchi City, I can spare your life for the sake of your late father!”
“Damn it, so it really was you!” Cayden Wooler shouted angrily upon hearing this.
Many others also showed anger on their faces.
Before this, most of them had sided with Gerardo Wooler because Kole Wooler had been in a coma, his fate uncertain. For their own interests, they had to choose a side. Between Gerardo Wooler and Lydia Wooler, Gerardo clearly had the higher chance of winning.
If they had known Kole Wooler would wake up so soon, they might have made different choices!
“Everyone listen to me!” Amari Wooler shouted after glancing at Cayden Wooler.
“The world outside is vast beyond your imagination. The Akabuchi Chamber of Commerce shouldn’t be confined to this small Akabuchi star domain.”
“If you are willing to follow me, I promise to lead you to a bigger stage!”
“In time, the Akabuchi Chamber of Commerce will dominate a high-level civilization star domain. You and your families will benefit greatly!”
After a slight pause, his tone deepened. “Of course, you can choose not to follow me. But I don’t think you’ll like the consequences!”
“Amari Wooler, you ungrateful jerk! Have you forgotten how the old president saved your half-dead self from another star domain?” an elderly man shouted.
“It was because of that rescue that the old president was severely injured and never fully recovered. Otherwise, he would still be alive today.”
“And now, you’ve poisoned the president and covet his position? How can you face the old president’s spirit in heaven?!”
“Exactly!” another elder chimed in. “We’d rather die than follow an ungrateful jerk like you!”
“Enough talk! Let’s take him down and let the president deal with him!” an old woman shouted.
“Attack!” the previous elder shouted again.
As his words fell, many people assumed fighting stances.
“A bunch of ants courting death!” Amari Wooler snorted coldly.
His aura surged to its peak, revealing his seventh-rank Perceiving Dao Realm cultivation. In the next moment, he disappeared from his original spot.
“You are no match for him. Don’t make unnecessary sacrifices. Step aside!” Kole Wooler’s voice rang out simultaneously.
As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly moved towards Amari Wooler’s position.
“President, I’ll help you!” Cayden Wooler shouted and followed closely behind.
Another loud explosion echoed in mid-air. The space shook violently as shockwaves swept across like tidal waves.
After one exchange, neither side paused and charged at each other again.
With all three exerting their full strength, the entire space seemed on the verge of collapse-a scene of utter destruction.
Seeing this, everyone else retreated further back. When gods fight, mortals can’t even watch safely; one misstep could cost them their lives from just the residual shockwaves.
“Cayden Wooler, if you want to die so badly, I’ll grant your wish!” Amari Wooler’s voice came from within the battle circle.
“Let’s see if you have the strength!” Cayden Wooler responded simultaneously.
“You’ll see soon enough!” Amari Wooler replied again.
As soon as he finished speaking, he sent a violent wave of energy crashing towards Kole Wooler.
Kole Wooler didn’t retreat an inch and met it head-on with equally powerful force.
Both attacks exploded simultaneously, sending them both flying hundreds of meters back. Their auras were chaotic; given his injuries, Kole Wooler was clearly at a slight disadvantage.
Just as Amari Wooler steadied himself again, Cayden Wooler appeared not far from him and sent a gust of wind his way.
“Get lost!” Amari Wooler roared angrily and met it with a palm strike.
After another loud explosion, both were sent flying two or three hundred meters back.
“Die!” Amari Wooler growled as a phantom spear instantly appeared before Cayden Wooler. The speed left Cayden no time to react; his pupils contracted in fear.
