Chapter 677 Once And For All
Samuel and Theodore’s silence only made Xander feel more gleeful. At the same time, Sean conceitedly
stated, “You should all kneel before Xander and beg us while you have the chance. Perhaps, Xander will
forgive you for your ignorance. In a while, when Jared loses in the fight, we shall see who else you can
rely on.”
In response, Samuel and Theodore’s faces darkened, and they could only glare at Samuel. Although
anger pulsed through their veins, they remained quiet.
They could only pray that Jared could beat Xander. As long as Jared won, the Coopers would no longer
pose a threat to them. Besides, it would drag the Coopers’ reputation through the mud, and they would
not hold as much power as they did before.
“If the Coopers love arguing this much, I don’t see any point in the match later. I don’t like to fight with
people who have no substance.”
Scrutinizing the Coopers, Jared defended Samuel and Theodore.

Sean raged and was about to lunge for Jared. Since Xander was there, he was not afraid of the
repercussions.
“Sean,” Xander warned.
Instantly, Sean stopped in his tracks.
“Hey, there is only an hour to noon, and it is exactly how long you have to live. If there is anything you
want to say, you better spit it out before we step into the arena. Otherwise, you will never have to chance
to speak anymore.”
Xander glanced at Jared. Once he finished speaking, he casually leaned back on his chair and closed
his eyes to rest.
Ignoring his words, Jared took a seat elsewhere and quietly waited for the time to pass.
Meanwhile, more people streamed into the stadium. Everyone there was from the martial arts world and
was at least a Grandmaster. Skilled fighters like Axton from the Medicine God Sect and even Rayleigh
were sitting among the crowd.
Regardless, most people came because of how high-profile the battle became. First, it was rare for such
matches to occur in the martial arts world. Secondly, Xander was a Martial Arts Grandmaster. Therefore,
it attracted more attention to this showdown as people wanted to witness the power of a Martial Arts
Grandmaster. After all, not many people could achieve that rank, and it was not every day you would see
a Martial Arts Grandmaster show his skills.
“I heard Jared is only in his twenties. He is so young! Why would he take on Xander’s challenge?” Some
people in the crowd asked.
“He doesn’t know his limits. I think this battle might only last a minute. Maybe Jared wouldn’t even be
able to hold out for a minute.” As many people did not know Jared, they were scornful of his decision to
accept the challenge.
“How is that possible? I heard Jared is strong, and he must be better than a Fifth Level Grandmaster. He
must be a prodigy to achieve a Senior Grandmaster level at that age.”

“What is the point of being gifted? He would still end up dead in the arena.”
Many people in the crowd pitied Jared. Although they did not know him personally, they knew it was rare
to have a person as gifted as him in the martial arts world. Therefore, it seemed like a waste for him to
die that young.
Soon, the sun rose higher in the sky, and the heat caused everyone to perspire. Despite so, no one left
as the match was about to start.
In the first row closest to the arena, Axton and Donald quietly sat there, waiting for the fight to start.
“Mr. Knox, do you think Jared could defeat Xander? If he can’t withstand the first attack from Xander and
dies, we will lose the pill forever since we don’t even know where he keeps it,” Donald softly whispered to
Axton.
“No worries, Jared would not lose that quickly. However, I know he won’t have a chance of winning. Still,
I will step in to help him at the last minute because we can’t have him dead,” Axton replied.
“Mr. Knox, if so, we will offend the Coopers. In addition, if Jared refuses to hand over the pill, we will be
at a disadvantage. We should have taken it last night. After all, no one saw it, and we could own it once
and for all,” Donald ruthlessly stated.
To his dismay, Axton only shot him a stern look and said nothing.
