I was still feeling puzzled when that person had already come up to me. He ignored the other few nervous-looking people and reached out his hand to me, “Gavin Ford, right? My name is Tyson Ford!”

This Tyson Ford was very tall, with a scar on his face, but overall, he was quite handsome—at least, I thought he looked better than me. Although the scar looked a bit frightening, if you looked closely, you’d feel that it was precisely this scar, together with his long, flame-red hair, that gave him an even more masculine and heroic aura. Besides, he seemed pretty easygoing, so why was everyone so afraid of him?

I found it very strange. But strange as it was, I still reached out my hand and smiled, “Hello, Tyler Ford, just call me Little Blake. I’ll be counting on you from now on.”

When my hand touched Tyson Ford’s, I clearly felt his body tremble slightly, and then an unimaginable force came from his hand, as if he wanted to crush my hand bones. The intense pain made my body shudder, but in that very instant, a surge of power suddenly rose from my chest and abdomen—a powerful force. That power flowed through my body, down my arm, and the sharp pain in my hand disappeared!

Tyson Ford’s expression changed instantly. I felt his strength vanish, and his big hand was firmly gripped in mine. A sense of power I’d never felt before gave me a rather smug feeling.

But I knew when to stop and didn’t embarrass him too much. I let go, and Tyson Ford looked at me with a very strange gaze. After a moment, he said in a deep voice, “Not bad, interesting. Gavin Ford, if you want to be the boss at Chila Cape, just currying favor isn’t enough—you need real skills. This month is my month of fasting. Next month, we’ll meet in the arena. If you can defeat me, then you’ll truly be the boss of Chila Cape!”

With that, he turned and left.

What the heck was that all about! But I still decided to fight him.

“Tyler Ford, one month from now, we’ll meet in the arena. I’ll make you call me boss!” For some reason, my tone was full of confidence—something that would have been impossible for me before. As soon as I said it, I startled myself.

Tyson Ford’s body jolted. He stopped, turned to look at me, and that cold face suddenly broke into a smile. Actually, he looked even more handsome when he smiled. But the smile vanished in a flash, and he immediately returned to his original expression, striding away.

“Gavin Ford, awesome, you’re fucking awesome!” As soon as Tyson Ford was far enough away, Morgan Wolf suddenly stuck out his thumb at me and shouted loudly.

I was stunned, looking at Morgan Wolf in surprise, then glanced at Charles Young and The Moon Family beside him. They all wore expressions of admiration, but even more, they looked at me as if I were some kind of freak.

“What’s wrong? Why are you all looking at me like that?”

“Little Blake bro, you’re amazing! You actually dared to challenge Tyson Ford one-on-one. I really admire you—my respect for you is like a surging river, endless and unbroken…” The look in Charles Young’s eyes was more pity than admiration.

Suddenly, I had a bad feeling. Looking at the people in front of me, I hesitantly asked, “What, is this Tyler Ford really that formidable?”

“Wow!” Shawn Moon let out a shriek, startling me. It was one thing for this guy to look like a woman, but why did he even talk like one, all jumpy and dramatic?

I looked at him, not too pleased. “Shawn bro, could you please not be so jumpy? My nerves are strong, but I can’t take this from you!”

“No way, you don’t even know who Tyson Ford is, and you dared to fight him?”

Everyone looked at me even more like I was a monster.

I shook my head. “I used to be just an ordinary person from a small town in the Elven Province. How would I know who this Tyler Ford is? Is he really that powerful?”

I was starting to feel uneasy, but Shawn Moon’s words completely chilled me.

“Little Blake bro, you can tell his background just from his name!”

“Tyler Ford, so what? It’s a pretty normal name, isn’t it?” I asked, puzzled.

Shawn Moon looked at me and suddenly laughed. “Little Blake bro, do you really think the ‘shi’ in his name is the same as the ‘teacher’ character?”

“Yeah, isn’t it the ‘shi’ from ‘teacher’?”

At that, Morgan Wolf, Charles Young, The Moon Family, and even Smart Alec, who had been silent and deep in thought, all burst out laughing. Shawn Moon laughed even harder, clutching his stomach.

Why does this guy even laugh like a woman?

“Little Blake bro, the ‘shi’ in Tyson Ford isn’t the ‘teacher’ character—it’s the ‘lion’ character!” Charles Young suddenly interjected.

“The ‘lion’ character, so what?” I still didn’t get it and asked in confusion.

“He’s a half-beast, you idiot!”

“Who called me an idiot? Who just called me an idiot?” I immediately looked for the source of the voice, and finally my gaze landed on Smart Alec, who was sitting to the side, taking a cigarette from a prisoner. “Old man, was it you who just called me an idiot?”
