Just as the Duo of Doom were about to admit defeat and leave, something they hadn't expected happened—Pierce moved again.
Like a raging beast aiming to kill, he charged straight toward Dax, whose expression turned deathly pale in an instant.
"No, damn it! I surrender!"
It wasn't that Dax wanted to surrender, but rather, his survival instincts as a seasoned fighter kicked in.
Having faced life-and-death situations countless times, he knew one thing with absolute certainty—at this moment, Pierce truly intended to kill him.
And if he didn't surrender now, he would die.
However, Pierce paid no attention to Dax's surrender.
Without hesitation, he swung his fist forward, smashing it heavily against Dax's arms.
Dax used all his strength to block, but in return, he only got both arms completely shattered.
A surge of excruciating pain shot through his body, nearly causing him to pass out.
They weren't on the same level. Not even close.
"Impossible! How can you be this strong? You shouldn't be on the Tiger Ranking—you should be on the Dragon Ranking instead!"
Dax wasn't making excuses for his defeat. He genuinely couldn't comprehend how there could be such an overwhelming difference in strength.
This wasn't the power of a Tiger Ranking fighter at all. In fact, calling Pierce a Dragon Ranking powerhouse right now wouldn't even be an exaggeration.
"I'll enter the Dragon Ranking sooner or later. But unfortunately, you won't live to see it."
As soon as those words fell, Pierce charged forward and landed a devastating punch squarely on Dax's chest. With just this single strike, Dax was sent coughing up blood uncontrollably.
Finn's eyes turned bloodshot when he saw that.
"Pierce, we surrender. We admit defeat. Spare our lives, and we'll owe you a favor. You have our word on that. If you ever need anything, we will do anything in our power to help. How does that sound?"
Pierce simply shook his head, leaving no room for doubt of his rejection.
Finn gritted his teeth and said, "Pierce, we are under the Benton family! We serve Mr. Norman Benton. Even if you don't respect him, will you not respect Mr. Benton Senior? He's ranked eighth on the Dragon Ranking. If you kill us, he won't let you go!"
A threat?
Pierce smirked coldly and said, "If Mr. Benton Senior wants to become my enemy over two worthless pawns like you, then so be it. I guess I just have to fight him. Besides, that battle is bound to happen sooner or later. If it happens now, all the better."
Hearing this, the Duo of Doom finally felt true despair.
Pierce was completely unmoved, and the most terrifying part was that he was a madman. A battle-crazed lunatic!
"Any last words? If not, I'll send you to your death now."
