Before everyone could see the person’s face clearly, he came into the crowd like lightning. It was so incredible!
“Is that… a ghost?” Susan asked, staring at Ian Alfredson with a face full of surprise.
Myra shook her head and said in a low voice, “Have you ever seen a ghost that cool?”
In front of them was a person who was dressed in white. Even his hair and his eyebrows were white! His features were delicate and he looked cold and handsome. He was only in his thirties, but the white on him added a layer of mystery to him. He had a sword hanging on his waist and one of his hands was resting on the hilt of the sword.
Ian was white all over!
The moment he saw Ian, Jonas’ eyes widened in excitement as he rushed at Ian, “Hurry up! That douche insulted my grandpa! He said my grandpa would have to kneel before him if he were here! Ian, kill him!”
“Ah!” Immediately after that, he screamed again and fell to both knees. Kayden increased the strength in his hand and Jonas felt like his bones were being ripped apart. This kind of pain was not something he could withstand. He was in a state of horrible pain.
From the time he was born until now, Jonas had never been in such a sorry state. Admittedly this guy had some skills, but he could never fight the Alfredson family alone! It would be like a moth to a flame!
Take Ian for example. Ian was the Alfredson family’s best swordsman and he could take a man’s life in a second. Even if this guy was good, there was no way he could beat Ian.
As Jonas was filled with anger, he suddenly realized that Ian didn’t act immediately, but was standing still. A little anxious, he looked up at Ian and asked, “Ian, what are you doing?”
Ian didn’t say a word but just stared at Kayden, who was also looking at him. It was like two adequates trying to figure out how deep the other was.
At this moment, everyone felt nervous as they watched the confrontation between the two!
Soon, a minute passed. Neither of them spoke, still staring at each other.
Finally, Kayden moved a step and asked, “What? You want to fight me?”
Ian hastily fell to one knee and said with a look of fear and trepidation, “Master! I would never dare to fight you!”
Their conversation stunned the crowd of onlookers, and everyone widened their eyes in shock.
This was unbelievable. Ian was obviously a good fighter with the way he dressed and the way he showed himself while Kayden was just a poor country bumpkin. However, Ian knelt down in front of Kayden and called him Master.
It was unbelievable! Leah would never have believed it if she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes.
Kayden was as calm as ever as if he was used to Ian’s kneeling.
“Ian, are you serious? This guy is your master?” Jonas asked with a look of disbelief.
Ian was the best swordsman of the Alfredson family, and he remembered that Ian had once said that his master was a hero who was unrivaled in the world and a recluse who was worshipped. Whenever Ian talked about his master, a proud look always appeared on his face, as if it was an honor to be the man’s disciple.
Who would have thought that his master would be someone who wasn’t even as old as him but a hick!
In fact, Kayden was not Ian’s master. He had only instructed Ian a few moves! When Ian was at the Battlefield with the head of the Alfredson family, he met Kayden. At that time, he didn’t recognize Kayden as the military legend. They had some arguments and fought. However, he lost without even having the chance to make a move.
Later, Kayden taught him a few tricks, and it was those tricks that made Ian one of the best swordsmen in Seclela! And Ian often boasted that his master was a legendary figure.
“Shut your mouth!” Ian suddenly snarled, “You think I don’t know who my master is? Be respectful to him!”
Jonas was dumbfounded that Ian had berated him and said in disbelief, “How can that be? You’re the best and fastest swordsman of the Alfredson family! He injured me and you are not going to beat him up for me?”
“The best and fastest?” Ian said with some self-deprecation, “That’s only with you. In front of Master, who dares to say they’re fast?”
“Ian, you useless piece of cra…”
“Ah!” There was another miserable scream from Jonas, followed by Kayden kicking him in his chest. With a thud, Jonas rolled on the ground a few times and he failed to finish his last word.
Just like that, the proud Jonas was beaten up by Kayden. Laying on the ground, Jonas pounded the ground hopelessly but had no way to vent his irritation.
Ian turned his head to look at Jonas and frowned slightly, then said respectfully, “Thank you for not killing him, Master! I will report the situation truthfully to the head of our family.”
Kayden didn’t answer, but just stared straight at Jonas and said, “They say that the Alfredsons are men of their word. I suppose Jonas won’t humiliate Zack, right?”
Upon hearing this, Ian immediately reacted, and he turned to ask Jonas, “What did you promise?”
Jonas immediately realized what Kayden meant. Kayden was telling him to get down on his knees!
His heart skipped a beat and he looked around at the people around him. These were all beautiful women and his classmates from school. If they all saw him fall to his knees in front of Leah’s boyfriend, how would he face everyone in the future?
And after that, he would never be able to win Leah’s favor again.
“Jonas! Did you promise to kneel?” Ian slowly stood up from the ground, asking the question with a fierce look on his face. His hand also gripped the hilt of his sword. He looked so stern that it seemed he was going to kill Jonas if the latter said no.
Jonas choked, looked at Ian, and asked, “What are you doing?”
“What am I doing?” Ian said coldly, “Enforcing the family rules, of course! No one can break the rules in the Alfredson family. Keeping one’s word is what every member of the Alfredson family should abide by.”
Jonas was scared as he knew Ian meant it. The Alfredson family was strict with that rule. No one in the family would break their word!
Jonas could only endure the pain in his body and fell to one knee, knocking his head to the ground.
“You win! I lost!” Jonas said, word for word.
