Chapter 327 True Power
Charles had acquired the gun through the black market.
He had always kept it on his person and never once used it.
Today was the very first time he had drawn his weapon.
Caspian smiled with contempt as he watched Charles pull out the handgun.
He commended Charles for his futile effort.
A gun might have been able to threaten a simple fighter, but it was a mere toy before
Caspian.
His sharp eyes and reactions could easily dodge any bullets coming at him.
“Very funny, Charles! I thought you had something better up your sleeves!” said Caspian.
Caspian shook his head in disbelief as Charles was more foolish than he had expected.
To think that he would be threatened by a mere handgun…

pulled out his handgun.

body.
“How is this possible?”
He was shocked as he wondered what could have happened.

“Are you
yet, Charles?” asked Caspian.

time.
“I’m done for…”
Charles gritted his teeth in anger and disbelief.
He couldn’t handle being humiliated by Caspian after he had ruled New Bay as the God of
Gambling for decades, but he had nothing left to stand his ground.
Caspian smiled in response. “Then it’s time to die, Charles.”
He stood up and rushed toward his target.
He raised his hand to Charles‘ neck and tried to strangle him.

“I will definitely kill you today, Caspian!” roared Charles.
He roared to vent his frustrations.
He knew that he wouldn’t really stand a chance against Caspian, even though he himself
was an innate grandmaster.
Caspian’s display of strength just moments ago was too terrifying, after all.
Charles knew that he wouldn’t be able to secure a victory even if he fought with
everything he had. But now, he had no other choice other than to fight and survive.
This was the one true trump card that he had kept hidden for decades.
Caspian teased, “What a cunning old man! You actually managed to hide your power for
such a long time. I’m impressed!!
He was surprised that Charles had planned this all out and set himself up as the biggest
surprise of all.
However, all of Charles‘ plans were futile.
Charles laughed out loud in an attempt to cheer himself. “We’ve never offended each
other, Caspian. And yet, you seek to destroy my family for no reason. You’ve brought this
onto yourself!”
He wouldn’t have exposed his true power if Caspian had not pushed him toward the edge.
Charles had only wanted to control New Bay in its entirety.
He had no choice but to utilize his full strength now that Caspian was here to thwart his
plans.
He realized that revealing his true power would also expose his ambition to Alton.

Charles: to rule New Bay from the shadows.
Charles had no choice but to do so in order to survive, but it would also mean gaining a
new enemy in the process.
Even if he managed to defeat Caspian, Alton would hound him for the rest of his days.
Charles was so furious that he wanted to split Caspian into pieces.
Caspian calmly smiled with contempt in response.
Charles felt uneasy at being mocked. “What’s so funny, Caspian? Your death is near!”
He wondered if Caspian was crazy to remain so calm after he had revealed his true
strength as an innate grandmaster.
+15 BONUS
An innate grandmaster was so powerful that one man alone could have controlled an
entire region for himself.
Only a handful of innate grandmasters existed within Diatoran, and an even smaller
number of them resided within Dhord City, working for the powerful families.
Charles could have conquered the entirety of New Bay with his own strength alone without
anyone proving a threat to him.
He was surprised to find that Caspian wasn’t worried for his life after witnessing his true
strength.
“I just think you’ve lived a sad life, old man. Remember what you said? There’s always
someone better than you. You should listen to yourself sometimes,” answered Caspian.
Charles had grown complacent about facing a stronger opponent ever since he controlled
the majority of New Bay.
Little did he know that being an innate grandmaster meant nothing against the man
known as Caspian.
At this point, Charles had lost his mind. “Die, Caspian!”
He wanted to kill the man who mocked and humiliated him again and again.
“Take this!” shouted Charles as he went in for an all–out attack.

had complete certainty that his attack would be able to kill Caspian in one hit!
