Son-In-Law Gets an Upgrade

Chapter 1212 I Surrender

"How dare you let your mind wander and lose focus during a fight. If I had been serious, you would have died countless times by now," Alex said coldly, looking down at Timothy below the stage.

At that moment, Timothy, who had fallen to the ground, was still in a state of shock. He couldn't believe he was kicked down so easily. Seeing the surrounding people laughing and pointing fingers at him, he fel utterly humiliated.

Quickly rising from the ground, Timothy, unwilling to accept defeat, shouted at Alex, "That doesn't count. I wasn't ready. Let's go again!"

Not being prepared was naturally an excuse. After all, the one who made the first move was Timothy. However, since the crowd consisted of people from the secret world, naturally, they wouldn't speak up for Alex. They turned a blind eye to Timothy's behavior.

Moreover, the defeat of Timothy happened too quickly. They hadn't yet grasped the extent of Alex's abilities. They wondered if someone so young really had the power to drive out the Leight Sect all by himself.

Regarding Timothy's cunning behavior, Alex just laughed it off and didn't take it seriously. He said. nonchalantly, "All right. You better be prepared this time!"

Timothy felt humiliated after being kicked off the stage once. He wouldn't be caught off guard again, and he was determined to regain his lost dignity.

Timothy was still the first to attack. This time, he didn't adopt the same aggressive approach as before but instead chose a style of fighting that could simultaneously allow him to defend himself.

He had just approached Alex, but before he could even make a move, he was kicked down by Alex and fell harshly outside the fighting arena the next instant.

The first time could've been an accident, but if it happened twice, it couldn't just be a simple accident.

anymore.

The onlookers could now clearly see that Alex was not as simple as they had thought. Timothy stood no chance against him; he couldn't even withstand a single move from Alex. Timothy, lying on the ground, wished the ground would open up and swallow him whole. That was the second time he had been kicked down. He was utterly humiliated.

After that incident, there was a good chance he would become the laughingstock of the secret world. Even the Flame Sect could be dragged into that and become the butt of the joke. Timothy was somewhat regretful, questioning why he had been so impulsive. If he had known how formidable Alex was, he would not have stuck his neck out to be the sacrificial lamb. However, there was no way to turn back time. It was a great fortune that Alex did not directly kill him.

"Do you wish to continue the challenge? Are you surrendering or not?" Alex, on the stage, asked indifferently.

Timothy clenched his fists as reluctance to yield churned within him. Not only had Alex ousted him from the stage, but he had the audacity to provoke him further. The anger within Timothy was ablaze, reaching the limit of his endurance.

A fellow disciple from the Flame Sect consoled, "Timothy, let it go! Just endure it for a while. It will pass.

Soon, the three sect leaders will arrive, and this brat definitely won't be able to beat them. You can take your revenge then."

Upon hearing those words, Timothy finally quelled his inner rage. The fact that he couldn't beat Alex was undeniable, no matter how intense his sense of defeat was. Rather than being humiliated by Alex again he decided to wait for the arrival of the three sect leaders.

"I surrender. I underestimated you, but that doesn't mean you can disregard the secret forces. The three sect leaders will be here soon, and then you'll realize how foolish you've been!" Despite his unwillingness to concede, he sought to salvage some dignity with his words.

"You don't need to worry about this. All you need to know is how arrogant and presumptuous you are. If I wanted to kill you, you'd be dead already!" Alex said bluntly.

Timothy couldn't find words to retort, so he could only endure in silence.

"Who else dares to challenge me? I'm ready to accept the challenge anytime!" Alex declared domineeringly with unmatched arrogance.

The crowd below the stage fell silent as everyone exchanged glances. They had all witnessed Timothy being kicked down twice by Alex. Despite their previous mockery of Timothy's patheticness, many of them knew they were not as strong as him. To challenge Alex would be to invite humiliation. However, not stepping forward could be seen as a sign of fear toward Alex from the secret world.

Just when everyone was at their wits end, not knowing what to do, a joyful shout came from the crowd. "Look, everyone! The three sect leaders have arrived. This ignorant youngster is going to meet his demise."
