Chapter 496 Fine, tomorrow afternoon at two, at the arena
No!
It wasn\'t just a misinterpretation of Gavin\'s words.
It was outright nonsense!
But the way he called her "Dear" made her heart burst with joy.
Usually, she thought of William as the ultimate heartbreaker, a man who was oblivious when it came to romance.
But at that moment, she realized that when it comes to romance, those who are seemingly clueless can often charm a girl effortlessly and unexpectedly.
A duel contract?!
That was no longer the focus.
"Shall we go outside to fight?" Alice looked at Gavin, ready to make him cry.
In the past, Alice might have been averse to fighting.
What kind of image would it project for a girl to be constantly battling various people?
But hearing Alice\'s response, Gavin instantly backed down, hurriedly saying, "Alice, I never meant to offend you!"
According to rumors, Alice might be an ancient person who had lived for countless years, stronger even than Garen, the head of the Emerald Lion Guild, a quasi-deity level warrior.
If Garen couldn\'t beat Alice, Gavin wasn\'t delusional enough to think he could stand a chance against her.
"You\'ve offended my boyfriend," Alice said, her face wearing a smile. It was the first time she used the term "boyfriend," her face flushed with shyness, but also sweetly content.
Seraphina, hearing their exchange of "girlfriend" and "boyfriend" labels, couldn\'t help feeling a bit jealous, but she dared not speak out, just rolling her eyes secretly.
Gavin\'s expression was even more priceless.
Damn it, he came to cause trouble for Walker and William, only to encounter William, a shameless man who hides behind a woman.
Just a few words from William had managed to turn him against Alice.
Not only that, he was also embarrassingly shown up in a display of affection right in front of Gavin.
"Alice, I think there\'s been a misunderstanding between us," Gavin was genuinely panicked now, not even sure what to say.
Signing a duel contract with Walker, he could actually kill Walker.
But signing a duel contract with Alice...
Was the outcome even in doubt?
He was just an advanced Soulmancer...
How could he possibly win?
William, looking completely self-satisfied, said, "A misunderstanding? What\'s there to misunderstand? The duel contract is already signed, right? Don\'t want to fight now? Are you even a man?"
Gavin, carrying the signed duel contract, had clearly planned to trap Walker.
Once Walker got involved, it was almost certainly a death sentence.
A heart-stopping strategy!
Now, thanks to William\'s maneuvering, Gavin found himself in a death trap instead.
Alice was still at the peak of the advanced Soulmancer level, but her understanding of swordsmanship far exceeded that of contemporary Soulmancers, and she could use Eternal Starfire. Even if Gavin was at the peak of the advanced Soulmancer level, he had no chance of winning against Alice.
"You damn..." Gavin never expected William, the man who hides behind a woman, to be so difficult to deal with.
William\'s smile faded, and he said earnestly to Alice, "Dear Alice, he\'s cursing me."
"..." Both Seraphina and Bella were speechless on the side.
Seraphina hadn\'t expected William to have such a side.
With William\'s strength, eliminating an advanced Soulmancer was just a matter of a glance, right?
But thinking back, William didn\'t seem like a bloodthirsty
person. Otherwise, she would have been dead the first time she
met him.
Alice, torn between laughter and tears, stared at Gavin,
"Enough talk, let\'s go outside! We shouldn\'t damage anything
here."
Gavin felt his scalp tingle. He couldn\'t win!!!
Fighting Alice now was like seeking his own death!
Gavin, quite decisively, knelt down in front of Alice, crying and
pleading, "Alice, Alice, I was wrong! Can we please not fight?"
Principles?
Dignity?
Staying alive is what\'s most important, right?
Alice\'s performance these days had been overwhelmingly
powerful, leaving Gavin without even the courage to face her in
battle.
Better to be alive and kicking than dead and gone.
Fighting was out of the question, so kneeling was the next best
option, right?
Alice was stunned by his sudden kneeling.
Wasn\'t this person very arrogant just a moment ago?
Such a drastic change?
"Can you please stand up?" Alice couldn\'t stand this kind of
spinelessness. One moment he was provocatively challenging
her, and the next, he was kneeling down. What was this all
about?
"Alice, as long as you agree not to hold this against me, I will
stand up," Gavin was ready to do anything to save his own life.
Several diners around them witnessed this scene, eating while
enjoying the live drama unfolding before them.
Some even secretly recorded a video and uploaded it online.
"Shocking: Genius Soulmancer Gavin Kneels to Anyone!"
That became the headline, pushing Gavin into the spotlight of
viral news.
"Just go away! I don\'t even feel like fighting you anymore," Alice
said, finding his presence a dampener on her appetite.
"Thank you for sparing me! I\'ll leave right away..." Gavin said,
ready to make a quick exit.
William raised an eyebrow and said, "Where do you think you\'re
going? Did you really think my signature was for nothing? We
must fight! Tomorrow afternoon, let\'s meet at the arena!"
William, wanting to continue his meal undisturbed, decided to
schedule a time for Alice to fight Gavin the next day.
These pseudo "Chosen Ones," like the annoying Gavin, should
be dealt with one by one. Otherwise, how could the entity that
William expelled from his body be reborn?
If Alice doesn\'t fight with these pseudo "Chosen Ones," how
would William know the difference between a true Chosen One
and the fake "Chosen Sons"?
You can\'t just fight when you want and flee when you don\'t,the
world doesn\'t work that conveniently.
Gavin, glaring at William and gritting his teeth, said, "William, if
you\'re so capable, fight me yourself! You, a man who deceives
women\'s feelings, previously cohabiting with that woman Zoey
and betraying Alice, how many women have you harmed
without her knowing? What right do you have to say these
things?"
He had decided. If William didn\'t want him to live, he would drag
William down with him.
"Alice, the first time I saw William, he was flirting with Zoey.
They definitely had an affair."
Gavin also harbored resentment towards Zoey. If he could
infuriate Alice and she, in her rage, killed William and Zoey, this
despicable couple, wouldn\'t that be perfect?
Alice knew that William had lived with Zoey before, but she
didn\'t believe that William would flirt with Zoey.
Firstly, Zoey, aside from being good at fighting and eating a lot,
probably wouldn\'t engage in such flirtatious behavior.
If it were said that Seraphina and William flirted, she might
believe it.
"I won\'t fight you!" William said indifferently, "You\'re not worth
it."
Alice could see what William was thinking. In essence, he was
just seeking more practical opponents for her.
The fight was unavoidable now.
"Fine, tomorrow afternoon at two, at the arena," Alice said
resignedly, "And if you don\'t show up, I\'ll come looking for you!"
The decision was final.
One way or another, they were going to fight Gavin.
