His whole body trembled with muscle, his bones crackling, and his torso and limbs suddenly stretched out.

“This is the enhanced form!” Emily Clark's expression changed.

For enhancement-type espers, their combat power at least doubles when entering the enhanced form.

But this state cannot last long and comes with side effects.

Roar!

At this moment, William Reed radiated explosive power all over, as if he had turned into a giant leopard, making everyone’s heart pound with fear.

The air whistled sharply.

William Reed's figure vanished from where he stood.

The next instant, he appeared above Brian Carter's head, throwing a punch like a thunderclap.

Such speed startled Brian Carter.

It scared him into using his full strength.

Whoosh!

Brian Carter's arm swelled, a faint blue scale pattern forming, like a qilin arm, faintly exuding an ancient pressure.

The two fists collided head-on.

Brian Carter seemed like an ancient mythical beast, while William Reed was just a small leopard.

Bang! Crack!

William Reed flew out like a rubber ball, tumbling more than ten meters away, his entire arm fracturing instantly.

“Am I seeing things? An esper in enhanced form was actually one-shotted by a martial artist!”

“Since when are martial artists this strong?”

The club members were all dumbfounded, finding it hard to believe.

“That punch just now seemed to carry the aura of an ancient martial artist.”

Emily Clark's delicate brows furrowed slightly as she murmured.

Her vision was broader; she didn’t share the outside world’s view of martial artists as mediocre.

Thud!

William Reed landed on the ground, rolled a few times, and coughed up several mouthfuls of blood in pain.

Beep beep!

William Reed's smart wristwatch activated, and he spoke softly: “Uncle Edward...”

“William Reed, calling for backup just because you lost?”

Emily Clark said with disdain.

“We can’t win one-on-one, but if you call for backup, we’re not afraid either.”

The club members walked over.

Many people started making phone calls.

But the first to arrive was a police hovercar.

“What’s going on here?”

Several patrol officers walked over, scanning the scene.

“Officer Officer Cooper, it was just a normal sparring match between espers, no casualties.”

Someone in the club recognized the patrol officers and started negotiating.

“Sparring between espers, huh? That’s not under our jurisdiction.”

The officers didn’t want to get involved.

These officers were responsible for incidents involving ordinary people.

As for disputes between espers, those fell under the jurisdiction of the Esper Administration Bureau or the Esper Association.

“Wait!”

A middle-aged man in a suit called out to the officers.

“Uncle Edward.”

Supported by the middle-aged man, William Reed stood up, his eyes fixed on Brian Carter with a bone-deep hatred.

“Brian Carter, you’d better be careful.”

Emily Clark lowered her voice, “Uncle Edward is William Reed’s bodyguard, a level 2—Innate-level martial artist...”

“Do you still have business here? Disputes between espers aren’t our responsibility.”

One officer said.

Uncle Edward handed over a business card, smiling: “We’re not here to pursue injuries from sparring, but Young Master Reed’s car was damaged. That’s under your jurisdiction, right?”

The lead officer took the card, his eyes widening in shock, and he stood at attention.

“If it’s about a damaged car, that is indeed within our jurisdiction.”

Another officer nodded.

It wasn’t that they feared power; they were just following procedure.

“Who damaged the hovercar?”

The officer looked at the big hole in the hovercar, feeling uneasy but forcing himself to ask.

“It was him.”

William Reed glared viciously at Brian Carter.

“Kid! Do you know how much this car cost? Six million star coins!”

Six million!

The club members’ expressions changed.

“Even if you sell everything you own, you couldn’t pay for it! Get ready for jail.”

William Reed was feeling pleased.

He didn’t even need to use his family’s influence; just following the normal legal process would make Brian Carter pay a heavy price.

“Pay compensation? Sure.”

Brian Carter was calm and smiling.

William Reed was stunned. Could this kid be a rich second generation who could really afford it?

“But, you need to show evidence. Did you see with your own eyes that I damaged the car?”

Brian Carter chuckled.

Huh?

Everyone in the club, including William Reed, felt something was off.

Brian Carter’s words sounded familiar.

They remembered!

At first, Brian Carter had asked William Reed to pay for the car damage.

William Reed had used this exact tone.

You want me to pay?

Show me the evidence!

Did you see with your own eyes that I caused the damage?

William Reed froze for a moment, then burst out laughing: “Kid, trying to use my own trick on me? You’re too naive!”

He whispered something to Uncle Edward.

Uncle Edward nodded and immediately entered the damaged hovercar, retrieving a device.

“Crap!”

“William Reed’s car has a dashcam.”

The club members realized and started to worry for Brian Carter.

The dashcam definitely recorded Brian Carter damaging the car.

“Haha! The dashcam has the footage—ironclad evidence. Don’t even think about denying it...”

William Reed looked triumphant as he turned on the dashcam.

“Who are you trying to scare?”

Brian Carter looked completely unconcerned.

“Brian Carter, you don’t have to force yourself. If you really can’t pay, I’ll find a way to help you cover it.”

Emily Clark comforted him.
