Chapter 131: The Return at the Critical Moment

Moonlight City, Flip-Flop Community.

Kean sneered malevolently at Emma and Claire.

"You've seen what happened to him, haven't you? If you continue to oppose me, your fate will be exactly the same as his."

At this moment, Ritchie had been utterly incapacitated.

Not only had his shadow been completely torn apart, but all his items and life-saving skills had also been neutralized by Kean.

Despite their fear, Emma and Claire looked at Kean with a hint of derision in their eyes.

In their minds, Kean could never compare to Jeremy.

Jeremy would never stoop to such despicable acts.

"Why are you looking at me with those expressions?" Kean growled angrily.

Emma and Claire remained silent, unwilling to engage with Kean in any conversation.

"It seems you've made up your minds to defy me to the end! Don't blame me for being ruthless, then! I'll savor dealing with both of you slowly." Kean threatened, his voice dripping with malice.

Kean first approached Emma, drawing a dagger from his pocket and slowly tracing it along her cheek.

"Are you truly not afraid? Do you not fear that I might kill you right here and now?"

He asked in a low, sinister voice, dripping with malice.

Emma remained silent, her eyes filled with defiance and hatred as she stared back at Kean. Her refusal to respond only served to enrage him further.

In a fit of fury, Kean raised his dagger and aimed it directly at Emma's neck, ready to strike with lethal force.

But just as the blade began its descent, a voice pierced the tension-filled air.

"Hold on! Master Kean, do you have any idea what you're doing right now? Do you comprehend the consequences of your actions?" Benjamin's voice rang out abruptly, cutting through the silence.

Startled, Kean turned his head sharply to look in the direction of Benjamin's voice.

Not only did Benjamin confront Kean alone, but he was also accompanied by Howard and Ella. Howard's gaze was filled with contempt as he looked at Kean.

In Howard's eyes, Kean could never measure up to Jeremy. The only area where Kean and Jeremy even remotely compared was in their combat abilities.

However, in terms of personal qualities, the difference between Kean and Jeremy was as vast as night and day.

Ella's expression as she looked at Kean was equally complex.

On one hand, she was Kean's fiancée, which obligated her to support him. On the other hand, Kean's current actions deeply unsettled her, even directly infringing upon her own interests.

"I know exactly what I'm doing!" Kean retorted defiantly. "This is revenge. I must settle the score for Jeremy's betrayal and the arrow he stabbed in my back!"

Kean showed no signs of worry despite the arrival of the three figures.

With a resolute glint in his eyes, Kean lunged forward, thrusting his dagger towards Emma's throat. He was determined to eliminate the person most important to Jeremy, believing it to be a crucial step in his quest for vengeance.

At that critical juncture, a brilliant white light suddenly materialized in the midst of the group.

As the light subsided, Jeremy's figure emerged, standing before everyone.

The sight of Jeremy caught everyone off guard, their faces registering varying degrees of surprise.

Jeremy, however, paid no attention to the surrounding reactions. His gaze was fixed solely on Kean, cold and unwavering.

"Have you finally decided to stop hiding? Since you're here, let's settle this once and for all!" Kean's voice was filled with a twisted sense of satisfaction upon seeing Jeremy.

For Kean, this confrontation was the culmination of his desire for revenge.

While eliminating Jeremy's friends could be considered a form of retribution, it would not bring him the same sense of fulfillment as facing Jeremy directly.

Kean's ultimate satisfaction would come from eliminating Jeremy himself.

Jeremy cast a cold glance at Kean, not intending to waste words on him.

In Jeremy's eyes, exchanging any words with Kean would be a sheer waste of time.

Jeremy had fully recovered his peak condition and felt no pressure in confronting an opponent of Kean's caliber.

"Jeremy! You need to think further ahead. If you kill Kean, the troubles you'll face afterward will multiply!"

Just as Jeremy was about to launch his attack, Benjamin's voice rang out from behind him.

Benjamin admired Jeremy greatly and was willing to offer his support. However, from Benjamin's perspective, the idea of Jeremy eliminating Kean was something he could not condone.

Jeremy paid no heed to Benjamin's warning.

He merely charged toward Kean with astonishing speed.

Although Jeremy had regained his peak physical state, he had exhausted all his weapons and tools in previous battles.

This time, he would have to rely solely on his bare hands to defeat Kean.

Kean, naturally, was extremely wary as he faced Jeremy's swift approach.

As he prepared for battle, Kean simultaneously confined Jeremy's three friends in a miniature prison. "If I can defeat you, I will obliterate you completely! If I can't, I'll use your friends to threaten you! Either way, you will be the ultimate loser!"

In his mind, Kean had already devised a foolproof strategy.

No matter what actions Jeremy took or how formidable his strength was, Kean believed that he alone would emerge victorious in the end.

Kean's plan seemed flawless, but the moment he faced Jeremy head-on, he realized he had vastly overestimated his own capabilities.

Despite Jeremy not using any tools or special abilities.

He was still able to dominate Kean in direct combat. Their first clash left Kean utterly astonished. He quickly came to the conclusion that under Jeremy's relentless assault, he wouldn't be able to hold out for long.
