King’s Awakening

Chapter 359: Chapter 359: Connor Cooper’s Uncle, A Tiger Leaderboard Expert?
Furious, Maddox was standing furiously in front of White Mitchell.

Next to him, there was a middle-aged man in his forties, his body full of muscles, strong and sturdy, with an arrogant beard on his face. Just standing there, he was extremely intimidating.

Not to mention anyone else, even Maddox, who had climbed to the mighty Myles, seemed very respectful in front of him and appeared a bit apprehensive.

This was enough to show the extraordinary status of this man.

“Are you White Mitchell? Is it you who hit my beloved nephew, Maverick Scot!?” The robust middle-aged man, with wide-open eyes, glared at White Mitchell.

Maverick Scot!?

He is Maverick Scot!?

As soon as these words came out, the expressions on the faces of the onlookers all changed dramatically, and they looked at the middle-aged man with fear.

This was Maverick Scot, the current Family Head of the prestigious Scot Family of Joliam!

If he were in Sayon, this Maverick Scot would be on par with the likes of Nan Xiaodu and Longman Jack.

Moreover, being an ancient capital of six dynasties, Joliam had deep foundations and was a rich land. Coupled with Maverick Scot’s iron-fisted means, the Scot Family’s wealth was perhaps on par with David Herb’s.

Furthermore, it is rumored that Maverick Scot himself was a highly skilled Ancient Martial Strongman. Otherwise, he would not have taken the seat of the Family Head at the age of less than forty.

His name was well-known even in Sayon.

However, every rose has its thorns. It is said that during his youth, Maverick Scot was so obsessed with Martial Dao that he got into a state of fanaticism, which damaged his roots and led to a lifelong sterility.

As a result, he sought medical help and tried every possible means to leave some descendants for the Scot family line, but all ended in vain.

In desperation, he placed all his hopes on his nephew, Connor Cooper, hoping that Connor could carry on his legacy.

Thus, he was so indulgent towards Connor that it even exceeded the control of the Cooper Family. Even Rhett Cooper, his father, had to swallow his anger.

This was a significant reason why Connor had been arrogant since childhood and did not even take his father, Rhett Cooper, seriously.

In Maverick Scot’s view, White Mitchell beating Connor was not just a slap in the face of the Cooper family, but more importantly, it violated the dignity of the Scot Family.

Could the future heir of the Scot family be bullied by a kid who just got out of prison?

“Tell me, how do you want to die? I’m in a good mood today, and I can leave your corpse intact!” Maverick Scot said dismissively, not taking White Mitchell seriously at all.

After hearing this, the onlookers did not think highly of White Mitchell.

Although the ally beside White Mitchell just crippled an Ancient Martial Strongman of the Half-step War King level, compared to the well-known Maverick Scot, he was too weak.

“This time, this White Mitchell kid can’t stir up any trouble, right?”

“Nonsense, look at who’s taking action now. This is Maverick Scot, for crying out loud! Even if Longman were under his hands, I’m afraid he wouldn’t get a good deal.”

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a pity! White Mitchell…who is he to mess with anyone, but he had to mess with someone he couldn’t afford to mess with. Now he’s in trouble, he’s poked a hornet’s nest.”

For a while, sarcastic remarks came from all directions.

Hearing these voices, Maverick Scot’s arrogance on his face became even more intense, and his gaze towards White Mitchell was full of mockery.

It seemed, as if the White Mitchell standing in front of him had already become a corpse at his mercy.

But, despite these mockery-filled voices, there was no change in White Mitchell’s expression, who remained as impassive as ever.

Huh?

Seeing the expression on White Mitchell’s face, a trace of displeasure flashed across Maverick Scot’s face. It felt as if his punch had landed on cotton.

In the next moment, Maverick Scot’s face darkened, and he indifferently said, “Good! Very good! Within a year, the number of snot-nosed youngsters like you that I’ve crushed, not a hundred, there are at least eighty!

Today, I’m going to make you pay for your ignorance!”

Boom!

As his words fell, an overwhelming power burst forth from within Maverick Scot, roaring and rolling like enormous waves.

In an instant, the entire scene was shrouded by Maverick Scot’s imposing aura, causing everyone’s hearts to lurch.

At that moment, Maverick Scot’s pair of iron fists turned violently red, as if they were engorged with blood, turning from red to purple.

Seeing this peculiar scene, the onlookers were all struck speechless with fear. Even Maddox, standing beside Maverick Scot, couldn’t help but take several steps back, his face full of fear.

“My Iron Fists have once reached the 97th rank on the Tiger List. Dying under my fists and going to the Netherworld, even that would be something for you to pride yourself on!” Maverick Scot’s fists collided with each other, releasing thunderous crashing sounds as if metal and stone were striking each other.

Hiss!

Watching this scene, the hearts of everyone present were stuck in their throats.

If Maverick Scot’s Iron Fists were to strike a regular person, they would likely be smashed into pulp.

What was even more shocking was that Maverick Scot had once made it onto the Tiger List with these Iron Fists!

The so-called Tiger List is a recognition of the strength of Ancient Martial Strongmen within the Dragon Realm.

The complete list is divided into the Dragon List and the Tiger List. The Dragon List includes War King-ranked experts and above, while the Tiger List records experts who are below War King rank. Only one hundred individuals are included on each list.

Those who make it onto the list are all powerful beings.

Although Maverick Scot’s ranking was partly due to luck and he was soon knocked off the list, it was still a recognition of his strength.

Even if he faced Ancient Martial Strongman of the Minor Achieved War King level with his Iron Fists, he wouldn’t be in a disadvantageous position!

This was where Maverick Scot’s confidence came from, and it was also the important reason why Maverick Scot didn’t take White Mitchell seriously.

“Oh? A Tiger List expert?”

Upon hearing these somewhat familiar words, a playful expression flashed across White Mitchell’s eyes.

Tiger List, huh? He had been there too, and even now, the record on the Tiger List was still his–the Half-Step War King defeating the Titled War King!

Not only that, but even the record on the Dragon List was his.

However, at the time of challenging the ‘Dragon-Tiger List’, he used an alias in order to keep his identity secret.

Now, even though several years have passed since he last appeared on the ‘Dragon-Tiger List’, it still carries his legend!

The appearance of Maverick Scot inevitably reminded him of his green days challenging the ‘Dragon-Tiger List’.

Back then, he had newly joined the War Department, showing impressive battle capabilities beyond ordinary people. The Elders’ House arranged for him to challenge the ‘Dragon-Tiger List’ under an alias to temper him.

In the pursuit of higher ranks, he had tasted a fair share of hardship on the ‘Dragon-Tiger List’.

However, this also laid a solid foundation for his breakthrough to the War God realm and stepping into the realm of the Army Master.

Thinking of this, White Mitchell smiled lightly, “Since you’re a Tiger List expert, let’s settle this using the Dragon-Tiger List’s rules.

If you can touch me within three moves, I’ll let you off this time.

Otherwise, your pair of iron fists will be mine!”
