Chapter 456: The Power of Brohood
Jack stood tall in space. His cloak fluttered. His fists were relaxed, not yet ready to smash. His gaze crossed space, falling onto the crowd of powerhouses and piercing them all. There was only one person he cared about.
Artus Emberheart.
Jack’s heart was awash with hatred. As he saw this man again, he was suddenly struck by a flood of memories. He saw himself, helpless and losing, forced to retreat. He saw Artus appear—just a clown back then—and reveal Eric. He saw the boy’s unyielding expression and his body destroyed.
This was the killer of his son.
Jack thought he’d had things under control. Suddenly, however, a dark fire blazed inside him, one which threatened to swallow everything. Only his immense willpower managed to keep it in check—that, and the knowledge that he’d come here precisely for Artus.
Artus Emberheart was also filled with hatred. He was facing the man who ruined his life, the one who publicly humiliated him several times and had him exiled from his home faction. Moreover, Jack had also killed Artus’s son—Rufus Emberheart—back during the Integration Tournament of Earth.
These two men were connected by lakes of black blood. They hated each other with every fiber of their being. Today, there would be no peaceful resolution, only war. The difference was that, between the two of them, one had come alone and the other had brought an army.
Eva Solvig was speaking, but Jack wasn’t listening. His mouth formed a snarl. “Artus Emberheart,” he said, interrupting the speaker he didn’t care about. “We finally meet again.”
“Jack Rust,” Artus replied, the derision evident in his voice. “You finally made a mistake. Your impatience threw away your life.”
