Lance originally intended to trample Wesley in front of thousands of students and compatriots, but he never thought he himself would be trampled instead.
He was angry that Wesley was able to embarrass him in front of so many people. Lance felt like he was wronged, but he couldn't say a word to defend himself.
What happened just now shocked the onlookers. All of them suddenly sank into deep, unrelenting silence.
Not more than a minute later, the crowd was in uproar.
"Lance, I've overestimated you. You're good-for-nothing!"
"And all this time we thought you were tough! Yuck! All this time we thought you were some scary goon. Turns out you're worth nothing!"
"It's a shame you're that easily defeated. You're not worthy to be our senior any longer."
Many students began to berate Lance severely. It was as if they forgot that they were his admirers first.
Hearing their insulting words, Peter was speechless. He decided to walk to the arena calmly to avoid making a scene.
Feeling worried, Audrey took Peter by the hand immediately and said, "I don't want you to accept the challenge. That guy is strong enough to cripple his opponents easily. In case you don't know..."
Audrey trailed off upon seeing that Peter seemed to look distracted. She honestly wanted Peter to teach the damn guy a lesson, but it wasn't worth risking him to get injured.
It wouldn't be so bad if Peter won the fight. If Peter lost, however, he would definitely be crippled under that man. She didn't want to see that happen.
"Handsome, Audrey's making some sense, you know. It's reasonable. I think it'd be better if you just look this one over. This isn't the time to play hero. This man is crude and hateful. You should know that we all want him dead, but you should remember who you're going up against."
"That's right. You'd better not bite off more than you can chew. There'll always be someone who can deal with those bastards in time."
Audrey's two classmates also began to persuade Peter to let it slide. After all, they had witnessed what this man was capable of. Even if they were furious, they didn't want Peter to risk his life.
Hearing what Audrey and her classmates said, Peter looked at them, eyes gentle and kind. Regardless of their concern, he calmly replied, "This guy can never match me. People like him should just lie down and die. Wait for me, I'll get this over with quickly. I'll treat him the same way he treated his victims."
Peter nudged Audrey and her classmates away from his path and strode to the arena with his head held high.
'This bastard is honestly too arrogant. He insulted our H Country. Even then, he was also so cruel to people. He has no mercy.
I'll show him what the real martial arts of H Country looks like. I'm going to beat them up. I'm not a true warrior if I fail to do so, ' Peter thought deeply.
Seeing Peter walk to the arena, the onlookers settled in silence once more. They didn't think Peter would be capable of defeating them, but they still made way for him.
However, compared with the jubilant scene of Lance's appearance, there was nothing but pure silence when Peter sauntered into the arena.
Instead of cheering for him, the onlookers shared an air of doubt and pity.
In the arena, Wesley was humiliating Lance. Seeing Peter walk closer to him, he looked at him with disdain. He threw Lance out of the arena with a kick and turned to Peter, grinning maniacally.
"Well now, what do we have here? Another daredevil I presume? I hope you don't disappoint me. If you're still as useless as that idiot, then we might as well end our contest today. As a warrior of D Country, I think it would be a disgrace for me if I were to fight some no-good fool like you."
Wesley shook his fist vigorously.
His arrogant tone provoked the onlookers' wrath once more. Although they were furious, they were helpless because they knew that the bastard was really strong.
Ignoring the man, Peter slowly walked towards the front of the arena. Afterwards, he attempted to jump into the arena by supporting himself with his hands on the edge. However, for the first time, he failed this attempt and almost fell off, albeit clumsily.
Watching this scene, the spectators sighed deeply; some of the people couldn't help but begin to curse him angrily.
He took offense for the words Peter said against him and his mother.
'This bitch. Do you think we're in a battle of words? I swear I'll make you pay. Just you wait, ' Wesley thought.
"You can give yourself any name you want. You don't have to be called Wesley, you know.
Whatever your name is, you're still a shameless person. Ah, your grandfather's not good at naming people. He's given such a disgraceful name to you when it should have been for your mother. It seems that your dumb old grandfather wasn't wise enough."
Staying calm, Peter kept humiliating him abusively.
"Shut the fuck up!" Wesley became even more furious. It was the first time he had met an opponent like Peter.
Other opponents began a fight with him directly, but Peter insulted him so eloquently that he couldn't figure out how to deal with him.
Ignoring Wesley, Peter continued to hurl insults at him. "You're such a shameless bastard. You've got no right to interrupt me—no right until you find out who the fuck you are."
'For men such as Wesley, they don't just deserve to be beaten up. People like Wesley deserve to be humiliated first, ' Peter thought.
"I'll fucking kill you!" Wesley could no longer suppress his anger. He charged at Peter at once.
He knew that he was no match for Peter if it ever came to a battle of words. If Peter continued to insult him, he would be extremely annoyed. He decided to prove himself by beating him up.
He intended to give Peter a hard kick and force him kneel down to beg for mercy, and then afterwards, to knock his teeth out one by one in order to stifle his arrogance.
This time, Wesley planned to kick more quickly and fiercely than he did with Lance earlier.
With his leg sweeping through the air, a trail of shadows formed and there was a strong, swishing sound. He was going to make Peter pay.
