While Francesca was hesitating, Franklin and Yohannes mocked her.
"Elder Sun, you are the top martial artist in Long City, so why are you scared of accepting the bet?" said Franklin.
"Oh, I heard that you were defeated by a kid named Master Chen. I'm afraid that you lost even your spirit. No wonder you are not accepting the bet," said Yohannes.
"If you don't dare, just say so. We understand and we will forget it," Franklin added.
Everyone heard Franklin and Yohannes' sarcasm. The Sun family, alongside with the other martial artists, was enraged.
"Elder Sun, what are you afraid of? Let's bet with them! I don't believe that you will lose," one of the martial artists shouted.
"That's right, fight them right away. The guy from Westamor District is too smug," the other martial artist said.
"Beat them! Let's see if they will still be arrogant afterwards!" another martial artist urged.
Despite the shouting crowd, Francesca had not made up her mind yet.
Zachary said, "If you don't dare to take the bet, we can play small games instead. For example, your granddaughter, who was the first to come out, looks good. If you lose, she can be my maid since I need someone to serve me tea."
When he said this, Francesca's expression darkened instantly. She glared at Zachary and shot out a stream of her aura, yelling, "You must be tired of living!"
Her aura whizzed and reached Zachary in the blink of an eye. Zachary's face turned pale out of reflex, and a trace of fear flashed across his eyes.
However, Franklin's movement was not slow. He waved his hand and created an aura wall, blocking Francesca's attack to protect his disciple. Then, he calmly said to Francesca, "Elder Sun, my disciple is being rude. But why is a senior like you so serious with him?"
"He humiliated my granddaughter, so he deserves my punishment," Francesca growled and ejected another stream of aura to attack Zachary.
This time, without waiting for Franklin to counter her attack, Yohannes stomped his foot on the ground and a surge of aura materialised in front of him, blocking Francesca's attack.
After that, Yohannes glanced at Francesca and said, "Elder Sun, you're a senior. It's not a good look when you attack a junior!"
"It seems like both of you are going to have bad blood with the Sun family today," Francesca said coldly.
Calmly, Yohannes said, "We just want to learn from you, Elder Sun."
Francesca snorted. The next moment, she laughed, "Learn? Because I lost just once, some people think I am old and useless."
"If you want to fight me, then bring it on!" Francesca yelled. She jumped from the ship, landing on the stage with her gaze focused on Yohannes and Franklin.
Franklin and Yohannes' face lit up with joy when they heard that. They replied, "Your wish is my command."
After saying that, Yohannes glimpsed through the crowd again and said, "All of you here are experts in the martial arts circle. Today, the duel between the martial artists from the Westamor District and Dragonville has begun. The stakes are the Wushuang Tower token, half of the Yue family's property, and the land of Dragon Source Herb Farm Field.
All of you will be our witness."
What Yohannes meant to do was to officiate the bet so that Francesca could not renege.
Just as everyone was cheering, Fade, who was standing by the lake, narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Oh no, Elder Sun is going to lose!"
Not far away, Easter and his men heard what Fade just said. They sneered sarcastically, "Nonsense. Elder Sun is still launching a lot of fierce attacks at the two, yet you say that she is going to lose? You're talking nonsense."
Lineman added, "Master, don't listen to the kid's nonsense. He is grandstanding, trying to attract attention by saying that Elder Sun is losing, just because everyone is cheering for Elder Sun. It's ridiculous."
"Ignorant! You are not even a professional martial artist. How dare you comment on a master like Elder Sun?" Easter uttered disdainfully.
Then, he looked up and analysed the situation on the spot. "Franklin and Yohannes are only in their fifties, while Elder Sun is in her seventies. She has been practicing martial arts for 20 years longer than them. Furthermore, Elder Sun has been the top in Long City for so many years, so it's normal if she defeats her juniors."
"Look, Elder Sun's current attacks completely suppressed Yohannes and Franklin. They no longer have the strength to fight back," said Easter.
"I guess that in less than 20 moves, Elder Sun will be able to defeat one of them. Then in less than 50 moves, she will be able to defeat the other," he claimed.
Easter was talking about his predictions.
Suddenly, Yohannes let out a thunderous yell and a surge of aura enveloped him. The next moment, he charged at Francesca violently.
Francesca couldn't dodge the attack in time, and he knocked into her. She spat out a mouthful of blood out of her trembling body, and then she stepped back.
However, Franklin and Yohannes did not stop attacking her. They chased after Francesca and attacked her again. Their attacks were vicious and their moves were decisive. In less than ten moves, they got the upper hand in the fight with Francesca.
