Chapter 488 Copy, Paste, Crush
If he knelt now, he never lift his head again. And there was no way he believed Steven had just learned someone else’s combat art with a single glance.
“I don’t believe it! I refuse to believe it!” Jacques roared.
Robby frowned. He didn’t know how to talk the kid down. Instead, he turned to Steven.
“Steven, how about we forget the kneeling? I’ll have him pay you 20 thousand high-level divine crystals, and we’ll call it done. Sound fair?”
Steven looked at him, his voice flat. “Mr. Lane, I respect that you’re the vice principal of Orroux Academy. If you’d told me the stakes were too much when they were first set I might have agreed to change them.
set!
“But the time for that has passed. He bet, and now he pays. If he won’t kneel on his own, I’ll beat him down until he does.”
Robby’s face stiffened. There wasn’t an inch of face being given here.
Steven didn’t care. Robby had stayed quiet during the wager and now wanted to play peacemaker? Steven wasn’t selling that kind of favor. He wanted Jacques broken, mind and all.
Robby was caught in the middle. Now that he knew Steven’s monstrous talent, he wasn’t about to let a prospect like that slip through his fingers, which meant he couldn’t afford to make an enemy of him.
When it came to talent, raw strength, and every measure that mattered, Steven was worth far more than Jacques. So if it came down to protecting one of them, he’d protect Steven, even with the Houstons standing behind Jacques.
Robby stepped back.
Let them sort it out, as long as nobody died.
Watching him retreat, Steven relaxed slightly. If Robby had tried to lean on him with rank and authority, things would have gotten ugly fast. Steven had his own backers, and bigger ones at that.
Jacques saw Robby pull back and understood exactly what it meant. He was on his own now.
“You got a lucky shot, that’s all! I don’t believe it! I refuse to believe it!”
Greyson spoke up then. “Steven, if he doesn’t believe it, beat it into him until he does. Whatever combat art he uses, use that same art to put him down.”
Steven nodded slightly, a thin contemptuous smile tugging at his mouth.
“You’ve got this, Steven! Teach him a lesson!” Bianca cheered from the sidelines.
That only stoked the fire in Jacques’ chest. He had to have her. He didn’t even need her heart, just her body.
He lunged, blade flashing. “You can fool the rest of them, but you can’t fool me!”

The subet came down in an entirely new technique, savage and overwhelming hammering toward Steven.
Steven met it with the Blood Shadows Blade he’d just stolen from hirb, all while watching, dissecting the essence of the new saber art Jacques was using now
It didn’t take long.
“Garbage Garbage. Absolute garbage. That’s not how you use a blade.
The blade came down with overwhelming force.
Bang.
It crashed into the saber Jacques raised to block, the impact ringing out like a detonation. The sheer weight
