The Amazing Son-in-Law: Chapters 1151-1155
Chapter 1151
The driver, unnerved despite driving dozens of kilometers of mountain road without incident, was terrified to see a man standing in the middle of the road in the dead of night. Duran, equally astonished, exclaimed, "That's a real person!"
The young man, smiling serenely and wearing light clothing despite the cold, snowy Golim Mountains, stood with his hands behind his back. This was Charlie Wade. Hidden ten meters behind him in the shadows were Cameron Isaac and others, instructed by Charlie Wade to simply observe.
The driver nervously asked, "Brother, someone standing here so lateโฆ it's weird. Maybe it's a trap? Should we drive around?"
Duran pondered, then declared, "Anyone daring to wait here alone for eight of us clearly isn't just waiting. There might be a trap. Let's stop and investigate!"
Charlie Wade, calmly holding the Thunder Order, felt no fear. He could summon sky thunder at any moment. If the Eight Heavenly Kings didn't exit their vehicles, he could use two sky thunders to send their car over the cliff.
Fortunately, Duran didn't underestimate the enemy. Both cars stopped more than ten meters from Charlie Wade. The Eight Heavenly Kings disembarked.
Duran strode forward, illuminated by the headlights, and coldly demanded, "Boy, who are you? You're blocking the Eight Heavenly Kings!"
Charlie Wade smiled slightly. "My name is Wade, Charlie Wade. I'm Aurouss Hilll's most famous live-in son-in-law."
Duran was shocked. They had just discussed Charlie Wade in the car, wishing to kill him. His unexpected presence here seemed illogical; how could he have arrived before them?
Duran quickly dismissed this thought, coldly asking, "Charlie Wade, did you know we'd be here?"
"Indeed," Charlie Wade replied lightly, "I expected the Eight Heavenly Kings to be formidable, but you're just eight old men. Between you, you must be over 400 years old!"
The youngest of Duran's brothers was over 50; their combined ages exceeded 400 years. Infuriated by Charlie Wade's disdain, Duran retorted, "We didn't intend to kill you today, but we'll leave you for our senior brother to deal with in Aurouss Hilll. Since you're here, good. It saves us a trip!"
Charlie Wade smiled. "Take my head? We'll see if you're capable."
"Enough nonsense!" Duran sneered. "The Eight Heavenly Kings aren't just a name. We haven't lost in decades. Let my youngest brother, Iron Fist Dan, fight! Many have died by his hand!"
Chapter 1152
Iron Fist Dan charged at Charlie Wade, his powerful fist aimed at his head. He had practiced boxing for decades, his power concentrated in his fists capable of shattering a ten-centimeter-thick stone monument.
Charlie Wade, however, saw through his skills at a glance โ nothing more than brute strength. He didn't dodge, a chilling smile on his face.
Dan, incredulous at this blatant disregard, lunged, convinced he'd crush Charlie Wade.
With a smile, Duran remarked, "Eighth Junior Brother is lucky! Master Webb will reward him!" The others envied this opportunity. They believed Charlie Wade's foolishness made him an easy kill.
Cameron, Don, and Liam, hidden in the dark, were sweating for Charlie Wade. They couldn't understand his inaction. Only Charlie Wade knew there was no need to dodge.
Dan's fist wind hit Charlie Wade's face. Just as Dan expected Charlie Wade's demise, Charlie Wade countered with a seemingly weak fist.
Instantly, Dan felt a searing pain as his bones shattered. Charlie Wadeโs counter effortlessly deflected and shattered Dan's fist, hand, and arm.
Dan cried out in agony, flying backward into the snow. His brothers stared, dumbfounded, at his mangled arm, a bloody mess. Iron Fist Dan, whose fist could crush anything, was helpless against Charlie Wade.
Chapter 1153
Duran was stunned by his junior brother's instantaneous defeat. Although stronger than his eighth brother, his fists lacked the latter's power. Decades of focus had made Iron Fist Dan's fists unmatched โ until now.
Duran was terrified; Charlie Wade was clearly no ordinary man. But the eight brothers prepared for a fierce battle. Cameron and the others were astonished by Charlie Wade's strength. They expected a lengthy fight, not this one-hit knockout. Charlie Wade had simply countered brute force with superior force.
Dan, lying on the ground, was shocked by the fragility of his once-unmatched strength. He had lost half his ability. Crawling to Duran, he cried, "Big brother, avenge me!"
Duran grimly nodded, promising revenge. He then addressed the remaining six, "This kid is formidable! Let's forget about morals; let's kill him!"
Charlie Wade laughed, "You boasted of the Eight Heavenly Kings' reputation, but it's all nonsense! You're better off being old dogs!"
Duran, burning with shame, raged, "Wade, stop playing games! You've hurt my eighth brother; you won't hurt the others! Today, you die in the Golim Mountains!" He added that he would leave Charlie Wade's body there but take his head to the Webb family's patriarch in the south.
Charlie Wade coldly replied, "Duran, all eight of you will sleep here tonight. Your head's not worth taking."
"Big talk!" Duran roared. "We haven't failed in decades! We've committed countless injustices. Yours will be one more!"
Charlie Wade calmly responded, "Today, I avenge those souls."
Duran gritted his teeth, "Kill him! We'll use his head to sacrifice the eighth brother's arm!" The six brothers attacked.
Chapter 1154
Charlie Wade stood calmly, his reiki concentrated in his right hand. He hadn't faced a truly powerful master since acquiring the "Apocalyptic Book." Past enemies were mere criminals, not masters. But these Eight Heavenly Kings were different. Iron Fist Dan's punch could have killed anyone else.
Duran led the attack, his seven brothers forming a formation. Duran, a master of palm strikes, leaped, his palms aimed at Charlie Wade. His palm strikes were renowned; he once killed an adult elephant with one. This technique was far superior to boxing.
Charlie Wade remained calm, stating, "I admire your spirit, but ferocity isn't strength."
Duran unleashed his full power. He believed his palm strike would kill Charlie Wade.
As Duran's palm neared, Charlie Wade stepped forward, countering with his own palm, saying, "Duran, you're good with palms? Try mine!"
Chapter 1155
Duran thought Charlie Wade was careless, but upon impact, his palm felt like hitting Mount Tai. Charlie Wade's palm contained an unknown auraโpure, strong, and supremely powerful.
Duran's attack, far from harming Charlie Wade, was met with tremendous force, instantly shattering his arm. His fate mirrored his eighth brother's. He flew backward, unable to stop his retreat despite his efforts.
The six remaining brothers were shocked. They understood Duran's power; even top experts would struggle against him. Yet, Charlie Wade countered effortlessly, sending Duran flying.
One brother shouted, "Help him!" The others attempted to support Duran, but the force was too great, sending them all flying several meters. Three of them landed on Iron Fist Dan, who vomited blood.
Charlie Wade's aura overwhelmed them; Duran, heavily embedded in the snow, was stunned. He, an expert from the Sejong Sect, invincible in the south, felt utterly powerless. He didn't even see Charlie Wade's movements. For a warrior, an injured arm was debilitating. A one-armed master was practically impossible.
