An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori Chapter 1138
âBourbon, you old dog, do you think youâre strong enough? Do you have what it takes?â Christopher straightened up, his eyes blazing with anger. He added, âI couldâve taken you down thirty years ago, and I still can.â
âCome on, old friend, cut out the theatrics. You may be able to fool others, but not me.â Antonio sneered and shook his head.
He continued, âAfter all those battles, you must be full of scars. And after the recent explosion and my hard palm strike, you must be badly hurt. You canât even stand up straight, can you?â
âIf you doubt me, come and find out.â Christopher motioned for Antonio to come closer, ready for a fight.
Antonio eyed Christopher from head to toe, not wanting to fight him. Instead, he continued to taunt, âOld friend, losing your son has got to hurt. I spent five years training, but unfortunately, he didnât make it.â
âSo, it was you, you sly old dog!â
Christopher gritted his teeth, and his breath quickened. âIf you had a grudge, you shouldâve come for me. Why my son of all people?â
Antonio chuckled. âAttacking you head -on is too tough. Thatâs why I had to take advantage of your weak spot. Your son, Gage, is your Achillesâ heel.â
He continued, âOh, I almost forgot to mention. Gageâs wife, who hanged herself in the Murray residence five years ago, is my daughter!â
âWhat⦠What did you say?â Christopher recoiled, finding it hard to believe.
âSurprised, huh?â Antonio chuckled.
âTo get back at you, I had my daughter get close to your son and make him fall in love. When the time was right, I set her up, laying the foundation for the feud between you and your son.
âA perfect plan, wouldnât you say?â
âYou heartless son of a bitch!â Christopher seethed with rage. âTo get your revenge, youâd even sacrifice your daughter? Are you even human?â
âWhat is the use of having children? In Kimboku, children would make sacrifices for their parents. âMy daughter willingly played her part for my revenge. It is her honor. No matter what, she did it and played her part.â
Antonio was indifferent. To him, greatness meant ruthlessness. The sacrifice of his daughter was a small price to pay.
âScrew you! Youâll die for this!â
Christopherâs eyes widened. He lunged forward and delivered a powerful strike at Antonio. Antonioâs eyes narrowed, and he countered with a palm strike.
The iron palms of two grandmasters collided in midair, creating a deafening blast. Furious energy poured out, and a shock wave spread from the point of impact. It knocked some unfortunate
bystanders off their feet and made them cough up blood. Antonio was thrown back more than thirty feet, leaving a deep trail in the ground as he came to a stop.
But Christopher only backed away two steps before regaining his balance. The difference between their strengths was obvious.
âGo to hell!â Just as Christopher was about to strike again, his body trembled. He coughed up blood, and his body almost failed him. Because of his previous injuries, using his power was extremely taxing on his body.
At the sight of it, Antonio couldnât help but laugh. âOld friend, it looks like your time is up.â He was lucky that his opponent was already wounded. Otherwise, he might not have survived this last blow.
âYou vile scoundrel!â
Christopher gritted his teeth and felt his inner energy dwindle, leaving him completely powerless.
