Francis remained silent, his expression growing increasingly grim, while Benjamin seemed to have already guessed as much.
After all, this man had caught the special attention of a prominent American hotel owner, suggesting he must possess some exceptional qualities.
However, he had yet to show them, but regardless, they needed to closely observe what was really going on with him.
"If he really can survive the assault from these three, then that certainly counts for something," they shared a look and couldn't help but smirk, each harboring their own thoughts.
If John really could survive, it would prove he indeed had some strength.
But if not, well, such is life—fate governs life and death, and wealth and honor are in the hands of the divine.
Some things are not as simple as one might think, and achieving everything in a short period might not be feasible.
John dodged the attacks of the three assailants and quickly backflipped to create distance.
His own speed was not sufficient; he needed to use external means!
Thorned Rock Serpent!
The crowd was startled when they saw John summon this serpent.
They knew how previously John had quickly seized the initiative using these twin serpents.
During his fight with Immortal Messenger, it was these serpents that swiftly clinched the match for him.
These snakes had indeed solved many problems for John.
Seeing the twin serpents appear once again, everyone in the audience grew excited.
They even began to speculate about how this battle would end, given it was turning out to be so unexpectedly thrilling.
However, to their surprise, John did not immediately go on the offensive.
Instead, he dodged all incoming attacks and maneuvered the serpent, carrying him rapidly across the arena.
The crowd was stunned by this scene.
What was he doing? Had he gone mad? Why was he continuously evading? This was certainly not a typical offensive strategy.
"It seems our challenger is deliberately avoiding the brunt of the three, but he might not be able to keep this up for much longer, especially since our Immortal Messenger is about to make a move," the host exclaimed excitedly, having noticed Victor getting agitated and slowly raising his hand.
Everyone recognized this as a signature move of Immortal Messenger.
Whenever he prepared this gesture, it signaled the imminent use of his Spatial Collapse technique.
Sure enough, they soon saw Immortal Messenger's hands rise higher, and a black void slowly formed in the air.
This void appeared directly in John's path, and if he continued at his current speed, he was sure to collide with it.
Yet, why now...
Although there might have been a sliver of hope for survival before, facing the fierce assault of three opponents now, there seemed no chance left for him to survive.
For someone who couldn't make it out alive, any potential value he might have held was rendered moot.
"Let's just wait and see," the boss said lightly, and despite her many doubts, Pomgranet had no choice but to suppress them.
She remained silent, simply watching everything unfold before her.
The attacks from all three were directed at John.
Although Victor hadn't touched John directly, the black hole was slowly growing larger, inching towards John's direction.
If John were to make contact with this black hole, it would surely mean certain death!
Silver Tear's breathing became increasingly rapid.
For a moment, she didn't know what to say and could only forcefully restrain herself.
Everyone watched intently, eager to see if John would indeed perish in this confrontation.
If he were to die, it would certainly be a topic of discussion!
What was initially a two-on-two situation had turned into a one-versus-three.
Moreover, this man was only a gold-tier awakener.
Surviving against two supreme-tier awakeners, and even another capable of defeating a supreme-tier like Immortal Messenger, would be nothing short of miraculous!
But now, it looked as if... he was about to die.
John, seeing the three attackers closing in, showed no sign of panic.
Just as their attacks were about to hit him, John disappeared!
Everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes, staring in disbelief at what had just happened.
Gone... he's gone?
Some rubbed their eyes, hardly believing it.
How could such a large man simply vanish into thin air right before them?
What happened?
What did they miss?
Where is John?
How could he just truly disappear?
