Chapter 961
Evan was already in a foul mood, and seeing him only made things worse!
He had a bone to pick with his mentor, and now he was guarding Gideon’s grandmother’s ashes – definitely an enemy in Evan’s book!
“Why sneak around? If you want a fight, let’s get on with it!” Evan snapped.
The man with the scar seemed amused. “Aren’t you afraid of me p>
Evan gritted his teeth. “Fight or shut it p>
Without another word, Evan launched himself at the man, his fists blazing with a fury that was both fast and ferocious.
He was burning with anger and wanted a swift victory.
He still needed to settle scores with Gideon!
The scarred man dodged easily, his tone almost approving, “Brave and impulsive, much better than that cowardly old fool p>
“Don’t you dare talk about my great-grandpa like that p>
Evan was fiercely protective, his punches growing more vicious.
But the scarred man knew his moves well, dodging with ease and fighting back just as leisurely,
“I came to find you because I want to know where your mentor is. Either tell me willingly, or let me take you with me – make him show himself. You can’t beat me p>
“I won’t tell you where my mentor is, and I won’t go with you! And whether I can beat you isn’t for you to decide p>
With that, Evan signaled to White, who lunged at the scarred man.
Sensing danger, the man quickly stepped back, eyeing White warily, “What the hell is that p>
White charged again, but the man caught its tail, only to release it quickly when White snapped at him.
White landed back on Evan, ready to charge again but was held back.
“You dare play dirty?” the scarred man sneered.
“All fair in love and war!” Evan retorted with righteous indignation.
The scarred man was momentarily lost for words.
“So, are we fighting or not? I’m telling you, there’s no way I’m going with you. And if you’re thinking of kidnapping me to blackmail my mentor, forget it! And, I’m after Gideon. If you’re on his side, you’d better be ready to fight me later p>
The scarred man frowned, “What beef do you have with Gideon that involves me p>
“Aren’t you one of his men p>
“He’s nothing to me. I wouldn’t even let him shine my shoes p>
Evan looked surprised, “You’re not with Gideon? Then why guard his grandmother’s ashes p>
“I needed a quiet place to lie low and someone to gather information for me. Guarding the ashes was just to ensure his loyalty p>
Evan nodded, understanding the situation better. It made sense; such a formidable person couldn’t possibly be Gideon’s lackey.
Suddenly, the scarred man made an offer, “You’ve got a score to settle with Gideon, let me handle him. In exchange, you tell me where your mentor is. Deal p>
“No deal! My revenge, my business! And don’t think you can trick me. I’m not a kid; I won’t fall for it! No matter what, I’m not betraying my mentor.” Evan had promised his mentor not to disclose any information about him and he intended to keep that promise.
Taking a few steps forward, Evan didn’t notice the man didn’t follow until he looked back. The scarred man just stood there, watching him. Evan frowned. Was he just going to let him go?
No fight? No kidnapping attempt?
This guy was odd, Evan thought, but he had bigger fish to fry – Gideon.
If he didn’t get back at Gideon, he felt like he would explode with anger!
