Chapter 708 - Dodging
Chapter 708: Dodging
With a faint smile, Lucas retracted his hand and lightly took a step back to avoid the slap from Freddie.
Freddie’s blow missed again, and he became enraged. But he was no longer a young man full of vigor and zeal. Lucas, the young man he was facing, was clearly not someone he could deal with easily. He became serious and used all his skills.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Freddie’s ‘Eight Extreme Fists’ strikes were extremely fierce, and each punch and kick of his seemed to stir up one strong gust of wind after another in the venue.
Unfortunately, no matter how fast he was and how hard his punches and kicks were, they all missed, and not a single one touched the corner of Lucas’s shirt.
Although Lucas was right in front of him, and it seemed that he was extremely close to hitting him, he was unable to reach the crucial point.
The more he fought, the more frightened he became. But no matter how hard he tried to speed up and change the angle of his attacks, Lucas was still like a visible phantom that wandered outside his attack range with ease. He even looked as though he was taking a walk in the park and mocking him silently.
“Ah!” Freddie roared angrily as he exerted his strength to the fullest. But all his attacks still hit the air, and he still couldn’t hit Lucas at all.
Herman’s face gradually darkened.
Although Lucas had caught Freddie’s punch with his palm just now, many people thought that it was a matter of sheer luck. But after noticing how indignant and furious Freddie was about failing to hit Lucas, who was dodging effortlessly and incredibly relaxed at the moment, even those who knew nothing about martial arts could realize something.
“Herman Walker, is this really the style of the Walkers’ strongest expert? He seems average to me. He didn’t even manage to touch the corner of Mr. Gray’s clothes!”
“Exactly. Surely you’re not going to say that the Walkers’ expert is deliberately not Mr. Gray hitting, are you? After all, the Walkers are the best at being brazen, right?”
“Mr. Walker, your expert doesn’t seem that impressive! Did he come out just to show us these tricks?”
Damon, Bruce, and others sneered.
Herman looked at them mockingly and said coldly, “Hah, the Lucas Gray you’re talking about is just a wastrel who can only hide. He’s no match for our expert at all!
“Just pray that he can dodge a little longer. Or else, as long as he’s a little late in dodging and Freddie hits him, you can just wait to collect his corpse!”
Unwilling to show any weakness, Bruce and Damon retorted, “Just wait and see then. See if the Walkers’ expert can touch a single hair of Mr. Gray!”
The two of them could be considered the ones who understood Lucas’s strength the best. After all, Lucas had inadvertently displayed his outstanding skills in front of them before. Thus, they had absolute confidence in Lucas. Even though Lucas’s opponent was the most powerful expert of the Walkers, they didn’t think Lucas would be defeated by him.
Ethan and Lena stood next to the two of them.
Lena had her hands clasped in front of her chest and nervousness on her face. But an amazing brilliance was shining in her eyes as she stared at Lucas’s dashing figure dodging attacks. She couldn’t hide the admiration and joy in her eyes at all.
She couldn’t take her eyes off Lucas for a single second.
Suddenly, Ethan grabbed Lena’s arm, lowered his head, and whispered into her ear with some suppressed excitement, “Lena, you have to do your best. Whether or not we can become closer to Mr. Gray will depend on you!”
There was clearly a hidden meaning to his words that immediately made Lena blush.
But this was indeed what Ethan had in mind at this moment.
When Lucas encountered a crisis previously, Ethan had given up on Lucas once because he was afraid of angering the powerful Huttons and didn’t follow him in the end.
He was now full of regret, especially after seeing that Lucas had more and more connections and was displaying increasingly terrifying power.
If his daughter’s relationship with Lucas could develop further beyond friendship, the relationship between Lucas and the Sawyers would become unbreakable, and the Sawyers would rise even higher in the future!
“This…!” Edmund, watching the battle, began to find that things were increasingly amiss. He had a flash of inspiration and immediately recalled something. He looked at Lucas with his eyes full of astonishment!
From the moment Lucas began dodging Freddie’s strikes, he had vaguely felt an incomparably eerie familiarity.
But only now did Edmund finally have an epiphany and realize the reason he found Lucas’s dodging familiar was that his footwork was unique to the Falcon Regiment!
Back then, when Edmund was still a soldier in Calico, he had once had the honor of learning this advanced dodging footwork. He had to admit that it was an extremely efficient and useful movement technique.
But the dodging footwork that Lucas was currently displaying was even more refined and elegant than what Edmund had witnessed before, which was why he couldn’t recognize it at first.
Lucas is definitely a powerhouse from the Falcon Regiment!
Moreover, given his strength, he was definitely an expert whose abilities were not to be underestimated even in the Falcon Regiment. He was certain that Lucas definitely had a significant position in the regiment!
When Edmund thought of this, his blood seemed to boil. He couldn’t wait to ask Lucas about his identity in Calico.
At this moment, Freddie couldn’t lay his finger on Lucas no matter how hard he tried. So he began to panic and was about to explode.
“Punk, are you a grasshopper? Is all you can do is hide?
“If you’re still a man, fight me!
“Or do you simply not dare to take a blow from me?”
Freddie mocked Lucas in a bid to provoke him.
Although he couldn’t hit Lucas, he had thrown every single punch and kick with all his might. At this rate, he would be exhausted before he could hit Lucas, which would be an absolute disgrace for a famous powerhouse like him!
In Freddie’s opinion, Lucas was only relying on his footwork to be faster, and he was confident that Lucas wouldn’t be able to take a single strike from him.
Lucas smirked and raised his brows relaxedly. “Fine. Since you want to die sooner, come over, and I’ll fulfill your wish!”
Then Lucas suddenly stopped and stood still while curling his index figure at Freddie, beckoning him to come over.
Freddie was so livid that he was about to explode!
