Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a burly man pacing toward them in large
strides.
His appearance made everyone's expression fall, and Augustus even stuttered with wide eyes, "Y-You
are Billy Newman.
W-Why are you—"
At that moment, Billy arrived at Matthew's side and helped him up before darting a glance at Augustus.
"The Invincible Iron Fist? Hmph! I'd like to witness how invincible your fists are!"
As he spoke, he threw a punch at Augustus, which instantly made the latter's face pale.
In response, Augustus, who lacked the courage to even face Billy head on, turned around in an attempt
to flee the scene.
However, his speed was no match to Billy's, so he had no chance in avoiding the attack.
Upon seeing that the punch would land on him in no time, Augustus steeled himself and swung his fist.
Their fists collided.
Billy didn't budge, but Augustus was sent flying into the distance and fell heavily on the ground.
At a closer look, the crowd saw that Augustus’ arm was hanging motionlessly by his side with a bone
sticking out from his flesh.
It was obvious that his arm had been crippled.
Everyone gasped sharply.
They were aware that Billy was very strong, but who would have thought that he would be so strong
that even the third strongest fighter in Eastshire couldn't even withstand a punch from him? Matthew's
expression changed as well, as Billy's strength had exceeded his expectations.
During Billy's fight with Gilbert, the Lord Voodoo had launched a sneak attack on Billy, causing the latter
to sustain an injury so serious that he had almost died.
Although Gilbert was quite strong, he wasn't overwhelmingly powerful.
Hence, Matthew had been under the impression that Billy's wasn't extremely powerful.
Nonetheless, what he had seen today totally blew his mind away.
One had to bear in mind the fact that Augustus’ strength was, in fact, above that of Hunter.
Yet, Augustus couldn't even hold up to a single strike from Billy.
In other words, it would be a piece of cake if Billy had the intention to kill Hunter.
At that point, Matthew vaguely understood why people kept comparing Billy with Master Levi, the King
of the South—it was because Billy indeed had such strength and qualification! As a matter of fact, what
Matthew didn't know was that Gilbert hadn't been the only person Billy had fought with that day—there
had been other fighters that Gilbert had brought along with him from the Nolan Family.
Among these people, Gilbert was rather average when it came to strength.
In other words, Billy had single-handedly fought with a few powerful fighters with strengths on par with
that of Gilbert.
At the same time, Lord Voodoo performed a sneak attack on him from behind.
In the end, Billy had managed to take the lives of the few men and even fled to Eastcliff alive.
The fact that he was able to do it all had proven his ability.
Augustus was in so much pain that he reached out his other hand and cried in a trembling voice, "H-
Help me.."
The people from the Ten Greatest Families of Eastshire exchanged glances with one another, yet none
of therm took any action.
After all, Augustus was still within the boundary of Eastcliff—Billy's territory, to be exact, a place where
all trespassers would face death.
Upon seeing how Augustus ended up after the fight with Billy, nobody dared to mess with the latter.
At that moment, Billy approached Augustus step by step.
Looking down at him from his height, Billy stated, "I remember that the Fisher Family were listening
when I set the rules at that time—those who trespass the land of Eastcliff shall die! Augustus Fisher,
have you forgotten about the rules that I set back then due to your old age? Or perhaps you think that I,
Billy Newman, is someone you can easily mess with, so you decided to go against the rule that I have
set?"
Color drained from Augustus’ face.
He was, in fact, the third best fighter in Eastshire, but Billy was now reprimanding and humiliating him
in public.
Panting heavily, Augustus growled through gritted teeth, "Billy, I can admit defeat today because I'm
indeed no match to you, but you shouldn't insult me! Larson has killed someone from the Fisher Family,
so he's the enemy of the Ten Greatest Families! If you insist on protecting him, you will become the
common enemy of the Ten Greatest Families as well!"
