The Doyle family members angrily snapped. “Who the hell are you? How dare you make a scene here!” Three of the family’s skilled fighters leaped onto the stage, glaring at the challenger.
“Hmph, trash like you don’t deserve to know my name. Tell Terry Doyle to accept my challenge!” The man in green pointed his spear at them provokingly. “Who is this man? He’s such a dick.”
“He must have a death wish to challenge Terry Doyle. “Tsk, I guess his pride matters more than his life.” The people in the arena stared at the man and whispered to each other.
“Well, if you want to challenge Mr. Terry, you’ll have to get through us!” The three fighters from the Doyle family drew their swords and charged toward the man.
“Since all of you are so eager to die, so be it!” The man in green tightened his grip on his spear and began countering their attacks.
His astonishing speed made it hard for the three fighters to defend themselves, and one of them quickly found himself at the mercy of the spear. The Doyle family fighter paled and raised his blade to block the incoming blow, but there was a loud clang as his dark steel blade shattered from the force, and the momentum caused the spear to embed itself in his abdomen.
Before anyone could react, the man in green threw the fighter off the platform with a flick of his spear and moved on to the other two fighters. They were no match for him as well, and they ended up sprawled on the floor moments later.
“Holy shit!”
Everyone was shocked. No one expected the man in green to be so powerful.
The three fighters from the Doyle family were much stronger than the average martial artist, yet this man had defeated all three of them effortlessly, easily showing what he was capable of.
“Who’s next?” The man looked around mockingly.
“Get him!” Several Doyle family fighters weren’t happy with the results of the previous match and went forward, taking the chance to deliver the first blow.
The man in green remained unfazed as he countered their strikes mercilessly and threw those men back where they came from in seconds, astounding the crowd with his skills with the spear.
“Anyone else?” The man in green drove the butt of his spear into the ground with a resolute thud, the challenge clear in his tone. “Is this all the Balerno martial artists have to offer?”
His words infuriated the crowd.
“He’s far too arrogant! Someone should teach him a lesson!”
“F*ck, that’s it! Give me my sword!”
“How dare he look down on Balerno martial arts! We’re going to set him straight today!”
Those standing outside the arena, who were initially nothing but onlookers, began crying out in indignation. They didn’t mind him challenging the Doyle family, but to insult the Balerno martial arts? What a pompous asshole!
Thanks to his actions, the crowd was fired up. People began shouting their wishes to join the fight, determined to stand up for Balerno martial arts.
