Chapter 2544

Calix glared at Floretta. “F*ck! How dare you plead mercy for him! Hmph! If you hadn't done this, I might've chosen to spare his life, but I can't believe you're begging me for his sake today when you've never yielded to me before. I'm jealous now, so he must die!”

“Ah!” Floretta shut her eyes in despair. “Calix, if you dare lay a finger on him, I'll die in front of you!”

“Haha!” Calix laughed like a maniac. “Die? Sure, you can go ahead and do that. I'm getting bored of you anyway. Don't worry. I'll make sure to maximize your contributions to our cause even after your death. Guys, weren't all of you yearning to get a taste of Floretta's body? I don't suppose you will get to fulfill your wish while she's alive, but I wouldn't mind rewarding you all with her corpse.”

“Hahaha!”

Members of the Centuria laughed wildly.

“Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Calix.”

“I think it's more enjoyable and exciting to vent my desires on a corpse than a living woman. Hey, b*tch. Why don't you hurry up and die? I can't wait any longer!”

“You...”

Floretta was frightened by Calix's ruthlessness and the desperate gazes of those men from his Centuria.

In the end, she clenched her teeth and decided to take Calix down with her. If I'm going to die, I'll drag

him down to hell with me!

Floretta suddenly brandished a dagger from her pocket and lunged at Calix.

However, she was an ordinary person, not to mention a weak and helpless woman, so there was no way she could win against a Half-King Class warrior.

Calix slapped Floretta, sending the latter flying backward.

After falling to the ground, she felt dizzy and disoriented. She struggled to get back to her feet but failed miserably.

Blood streamed down all her orifices, forming an unsightly scene. Still, even in that condition, she was worried about Apollyon. “Go... Hurry up and leave. Don't mind me...”

“Ahhh!”

Apollyon lost his mind and suffered from a total mental breakdown when he saw the love of his life getting humiliated and beaten before him.

Anger consumed every last bit of his rationale, and his only desire at that moment was to kill Calix.

He mustered the little strength he had left and launched himself at Calix.

Even if his action would cost him his life, he wanted to avenge his wife, Floretta.

Zeke hastily shouted, “Apollyon, stop!”

Apollyon was not Calix's match even in his peak condition, much less in his current pathetic state as multiple grave injuries weighed him down.

Although there was only a difference of half an acupoint between the two, the significance of unlocking one extra acupoint was immense. That gap in abilities could not be surpassed by mere determination.

Apollyon wailed, “D*mn it! D*mn it! I refuse to accept this! Mr. Williams, I beg you. Let me go all out. Otherwise, I'll regret this for the rest of my life!”

Zeke could not help but sympathize with Apollyon after taking in the latter's pitiable appearance.

Zeke said coldly, “Are you sure you want to take revenge against him personally?”

Apollyon nodded firmly. “Of course.”

“All right. Come here.”

Although Apollyon could not fathom Zeke's intention, he strode forward obediently anyway.

Zeke patted Apollyon's shoulder and said, “Continue cultivating the fist technique I taught you yesterday and open up your final acupoint.”

Seizing the opportunity when his palm made contact with Apollyon's shoulder, Zeke infused a stream of pure energy into Apollyon to help the latter unlock his final acupoint.

Only by activating his final acupoint, or at least another half acupoint, could Apollyon stand a chance to defeat Calix.

Nevertheless, Zeke's method merely provided Apollyon with the possibility of winning. The final outcome was beyond Zeke and rested entirely upon Apollyon's shoulders.

“This...” Apollyon gazed at Zeke in bafflement.

When Zeke had touched his shoulder earlier, Apollyon clearly felt a unique energy pass through his arm and flow into his body.

That chilly energy comforted him and seemed to have healing properties as the pain in Apollyon's body instantaneously reduced.

Zeke uttered, “Seize this opportunity to unlock your final acupoint.”

“Thank you, Mr. Williams!”

Even though Apollyon was unsure what the surge of energy Zeke had channeled into him was, he was confident the latter was assisting him.

Feeling beyond grateful toward Zeke, Apollyon immediately began practicing the fist technique.

Right then, something miraculous happened.
