Chapter 65 How Dare You
As soon as those words left his mouth, the place went nuts again!
Nobody bought it; they all thought Fergus was just messing around.
John and the gang were stunned for a sec, then cracked up. If Violet had said it, it would've been scary. Even if she couldn't stop it today, she'd get her revenge later.
But coming from Fergus? Just empty threats.
John sneered, "Man, sometimes idiots like you are just hilarious. You really think there are poor folks out there who aren't scared of the rich?"
Logan chimed in, "Mr. Zimmerman, Fergus has always been like this. In his head, he probably thinks Ms. Gray can fix everything!"
Right then, Oliver stepped up. "I'll go first!"
Oliver, feeling like he had to prove herself after not daring to touch Xavier and being overshadowed by Tyler, stood tall and proud. "Jerk, I'll go first. Come and kill me. I wanna see how you'll do it. Come on! I won't even even groan."
Laughter broke out around them.
Marlin nodded to himself, proud that his son had found his courage.
Fergus said coldly, "You won't get the chance to groan."
And with that, he suddenly struck, aiming a smack at Oliver's head.
Oliver didn't move or scream!
Because her head shattered, gone!
He still stood there, like a fountain.
Fergus didn't even look, just said coldly, "Next!"
The place went dead silent.
A second later, screams erupted, and everyone scrambled to get away. No one thought Fergus would actually kill someone!
And with just one smack? Fergus had to be a monster!
This was the heir of Red Pharmaceuticals!
John and the others, who were closer, were stunned. Looking at the fountain before them, it felt like a dream.
"Oliver!" Marlin finally snapped out of it, howling, "Oliver, Oliver!"
He fainted from crying.
"Next!" Fergus said again.
This time, everyone heard it loud and clear.
John quickly backed off, watching cautiously.
Hayden and Logan turned pale with fear.
Tyler was frozen because just a moment ago, he had wanted to step up first but was a step too late. If it had been him, would his head be gone too?
Fergus said calmly, "Since none of you are stepping up, I'll start calling names. Don't worry, you'll all get your turn!"
That nearly broke a few of them mentally.
Violet was also stunned, finally snapping out of it. In her mind, Fergus had always been like a pure boy. This was the first time she saw him so brutal.
Fergus turned to meet Violet's eyes and, after a moment, said, "If I can't even protect the people around me, am I still a man? Before, the little skirmishes were fine, but today, they almost beat Xavier to death!"
Fergus wasn't mad because these people wanted to kill him; no one capable of killing him had been born yet.
Violet gritted her teeth and asked, "Are you confident?"
That question floored everyone.
Violet wasn't asking Fergus to stop but whether he was confident? Did that mean she was okay with Fergus taking action and just worried about him getting hurt?
"Yes!" Fergus nodded.
"Beat them up!" John panicked, thinking about all the Tarynville elites watching. He was actually scared by Fergus and was furious.
He howled, "Confident? And you still wanna mess with me? Nobody in this world can touch me! I was gonna give you a quick death, but now I've changed my mind. I'm gonna torture you slowly!"
"William!"
"William!" he shouted again.
William stepped up, his presence way more intense than before. Even the guests felt the pressure.
William locked eyes with Fergus and said, "To kill someone with one smack, you must've had some serious training! So, you deserve to know my name. I'm William, ranked forty-eighth in the Silvervale Province Combat World!"
The crowd went wild. Being forty-eighth in Silvervale Province might not sound like much, but with nearly a hundred million people, it was a big deal! Forty-eighth was like one in a million!
"He's actually a top fighter in the Combat World!" Logan was stunned.
"William, you're ranked forty-eighth?" John couldn't believe it either.
William nodded, saying mysteriously, "The night before I came to Tarynville, I challenged the guy who was ranked forty-eighth. We fought for three hundred rounds, and I beat him, taking his rank. In all of Tarynville, only Wade from Twilight Ridge Estate can match me."
Hearing this, Tyler was overjoyed, thinking he might not have to die after all.
Logan sighed inwardly, realizing the deep roots of a big family.
John was pumped. "William, what are you waiting for? Deal with Fergus now. I want him on his knees, begging for forgiveness!"
William stepped forward again, staring at Fergus. "I don't kill nameless people. Since you've cultivated Inner Energy, someone must've taught you. Who's your master?"
He wanted to eliminate the root cause, thinking it would be a disaster to leave it.
Violet's heart tightened, very worried. This was a top fighter ranked forty-eighth!
Fergus, annoyed, said, "Are you done talking? You can die now."
William, seeing Fergus not answering, said, "Of course."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fergus moved swiftly, using the same method as with Oliver, striking a smack at William's head.
William had no reaction, and his head shattered!
The entire place fell silent!
Everyone stared wide-eyed. Was Fergus asking if William could die, not that he couldn't wait to die himself?
Everyone was shocked. A top fighter ranked forty-eighth in the Silvervale Province Combat World was killed with one smack? Without even a chance to fight back?
They retreated again, at least 30 feet away from Fergus!
John was terrified, trembling all over.
Tyler's legs gave out, and he collapsed to the ground.
Logan and Hayden's legs also went weak.
"So strong?" Violet was also scared. She knew Fergus could fight, as even bodyguards had no chance against him, but she didn't expect him to be this strong.
Everyone was astonished.
Only Fergus acted like he had done something trivial.
He looked at John in front of him and said calmly, "Remember, you said you were the mastermind. So, you're next!"
John was scared out of his mind, panicking. "How dare you! I'm the heir of the Zimmerman family. The Zimmerman family ranks third among the five major families. If you touch me, even Ms. Gray can't protect you!"
