Augustus charged at Matthew and without saying a single word, he fought with the latter.
As aman who managed to rank third in Eastshire, Augustus sure wasn't an easy opponent.
A heated fight broke out between them, in which Matthew was at a disadvantage as he kept pulling
back when faced with Augustus’ attack.
As a matter of fact, after Matthew had consumed the Godly Emergence Pill, he had improved a lot in
terms of ability, while Augustus was merely stronger than Matthew by a little.
However, due to the injuries that Matthew had been inflicted with in these few days and the fact that he
had exhausted his stamina, he was currently at his limit.
Hence, Matthew was completely no match to Augustus at the moment.
When the crowd saw that Matthew was on the verge of being defeated, all of them cheered for
Augustus.
Augustus, on the other hand, wore a complacent smile.
It had been his plan to use the fight to build a reputation right before the Ten Greatest Families! Shortly
after the fight had begun, Augustus managed to land a punch on Matthew, which caused the latter to
stagger a few steps back, and the crowd broke into another round of cheering.
Matthew's expression was dark.
He was aware that he would lose his life there and then if he were to continue on with the fight.
And so, he fished out an energy pill and swallowed it.
Thereafter, he charged toward Augustus and continued on with the fight.
The energy pill rapidly took effect, but Matthew suppressed the power surging inside him.
Finally, the opportunity arrived.
He focused all his energy into his fist and threw a punch at the other man.
Augustus didn't take his attack seriously at first but the moment their fists met, he instantly felt that
something was not right.
Matthew's strength seemed to have suddenly increased by a few folds, and that punch actually sent
Augustus flying into the air.
The crowd burst into an uproar as nobody had expected this outcome.
Augustus obviously had been at an advantage, but why was he suddenly being defeated? When
Matthew successfully landed his strike on Augustus, he immediately turned on his heel and fled the
scene without hesitation.
He was now too physically exhausted, and the energy pill effect couldn't last long.
If he continued on with the fight, he probably would be able to take Augustus’ life, but when he had
completely exhausted his strength, those people certainly wouldn't let him leave in one piece.
Therefore, his best option was to use the energy pill to gather his last strength and make an escape to
Eastcliff.
Upon seeing Matthew trying to flee the scene, a flustered Augustus shouted, "Chase after him! Don't let
him escape!"
Only then did the crowd return to their senses and they all went after him.
Augustus recovered his breath, then quickly went after the crowd.
Throughout, his expression was icy, as being defeated by a junior like Matthew was a great shame to
him.
This time, Augustus had made up his mind that he had to kill Matthew to avenge the humiliation he had
endured! Matthew ran with all his might and he could feel the energy in his body rapidly depleting.
However, he was slowly approaching Eastcliff and finally, he saw the boundary of Eastcliff.
At that instant, all the energy in his body seemed to have completely depleted; his speed gradually
slowed down and his legs could no longer support his weight.
Behind him were the people of the Ten Greatest Families.
They were running at him, wildly roaring at him to stop.
Upon seeing this, Matthew gritted his teeth.
Using both his arms and legs like a madman, he finally stepped across the boundary of Eastcliff.
The people of the Ten Greatest Families ran after him and stopped before the boundary.
Looking at Matthew standing behind the signboard of Eastcliff, they exchanged glances with one
another.
If they took another step forward, they would be stepping into Billy's boundary, but all of them lacked
the courage to do so.
At that instant, Augustus arrived at the boundary as well.
He gazed at Matthew, who slumped to the ground, and Augustus’ expression was beyond thunderous.
Suddenly, he took a step forward and stepped foot into the boundary of Eastcliff.
The people around him were astonished, and an elderly man cried in fluster, "Mr.Fisher, this—"
Augustus bellowed, "What is there to be afraid of when Billy isn't here? What if I take this punk away?
What can they do to me?"
Just then, a masculine voice rang out in the distance.
"Since you are here, don't think that you can leave!"
