A Strut That Spared No One

With two blades in hand, Gavin seemed like a different man. He met Taishan's heavy punch head-on.

Taishan's fists had left the arena in ruins. How could someone Gavin's size possibly stand against them, even with two blades?

Not a single spectator thought Gavin could block Taishan's punch.

Countless people were waiting to laugh at Rogge. He had bet ten billion Beli and even tossed Gavin his own blade. They couldn't wait to see him lose it all.

"Asura's going to lose big," Thatch said with a grin.
