Death Guns In Another World

Leon covered his mouth because if he didn't do it, he would have been unable to kill his laugh. He had expected his friend to pull out something crazy but not something like this; he couldn't help but glance in his father's direction, and seeing the wide grin plastered on his face Leon knew even without hearing what his friend had to say, his father had taken the bait, he had fallen into Alex's trap.

''Okay, let's hear your proposition,'' Leo said.

Alex took a deep breath and explained.

''My proposal is simple, his imperial majesty and I will fight. I said fight, but it was not a proper fight. I'll receive one of his punches if I'm not seriously injured; if I don't cough blood, then it is my win and-"

Leo cut off Alex and asked. ''And what if you did?"

The emperor seemed more impatient to start the duel immediately. Previously he was curious about how strong Alex was, but now he got the opportunity to test it out; while what they would do couldn't be called a proper fight, it was still more than enough to gauge Alex's level, as for the reward it was just a bonus.

''I will accept to cut off more than sixty percent of my shares over the territory you will receive.''

''What?"

Alex's declaration was like a bomb inside the elder's minds; they couldn't believe what they had just heard; some thought they were dreaming.

Although previously they were saying he should let go over of his shares, they hadn't indeed meant it just to provoke him; while the 5 % he had proposed was little, they wouldn't mind a little increase, for example, 10%, however, more than sixty percent was too much, they might be greedy, but they were not some fools. His offer was too good to be true; it reeked of the trap from a miles away.

''And what if you win?" Leo calmed down his building excitement and asked the question everyone present wished to know.

Alex smiled, ''If I win, we will maintain my first offer plus, I don't want any of you to come complaining when a situation like this happens as you all knew why we are here.''

The elders' faces darkened when they heard the condition they would have to satisfy if Alex were to win. None of them doubted that something like what happened with Gracier or even worse would not happen as their crown prince invited this destruction magnet to raid their dungeons in the form of training.

If previously they had thought they could use this opportunity, the opportunity of him visiting their home to curry some favor from the Black prince, this time they wished he could leave as soon as possible not to reduce the number of dungeons they possessed.

''Hum! Okay, I accept your offer. Let's begin right away.'' Leo declared before standing up.

Even though the elders wished to say something, they understood better than anybody that once their emperor decided on doing something, especially something that turned him into his current state, you better stop whatever plan or words you have to convince him as it would not work anyway.

During the meeting, only Leon was calm and was always smiling. Elder Othneil looked at the future emperor and chuckled, thinking.

'Only my grandchild understood that we were dancing under that young man's hand. Before coming here, he had already prepared this, knowing our race's weakness; we are weak in front of a challenge, especially when we are interested in fighting the said challenger. Hahaha! You have found a good friend.'

As if he could feel what his grandfather was thinking, Leon bowed to him before running after Alex and his father, who had disappeared somewhere.

A few minutes later, in one of the palace's underground training rooms. Alex and the emperor were standing face to face, separated only by a few meters.

Both had changed into normal training gear, with the emperor wearing golden gear matching his hair and eyes while Alex wore an all-black training gear.

Elder Othneil acted as referee; except for those present at the meeting, no one else was present as it was not something to be made public.

Elder Othneil between the two looked at the two before lowering the hand he had previously put into the air. This announced the beginning of the fight, but nobody between the two made the first move; they just stood there doing nothing.

As for the spectators, they were watching silently. They were not frustrated when the two did not move yet because they understood that in a fight like this, moving recklessly was not the answer and who said that standing still, those two were not fighting? It was a mental fight to gauge each other.

Finally, Leo sighed before vanishing; he didn't use any skill; it was his speed that made him cross twelve meters in a single step, he arrived before Alex and sent a casual punch toward his chest, but this punch had nothing of casual as it broke space apart, lightning covered this fist and even without confronting this punch Alex was being pushed back his time ability seemed unable to slow down the emperor's punch.

He couldn't help but sigh; even if he had expected something like this, it was still unsettling. He immediately switched form, activating his Asura's Form; the change happened in a split second, in milliseconds.

The emperor was not surprised by this change; on the contrary, he was smiling; it would have been boring; otherwise; he didn't stop his punch, not many in this world could take his punch unscathed, and he didn't believe Alex could even in this form that gave him a threatening feeling.

Alex, in his Asura's Form, punched the air with his right hand enveloped in invisible black chains; he was no fool; he knew even with all these preparations, he couldn't stop the other party punch; therefore, he strengthened his body using the Wind element, he also added another layer of protection, he activated the invisible, eternal chain unique ability to devour, he wished to devour the force contained in that terrific punch.

Finally, the two punches clashed.
