'This is the woman chosen by Shawn—how could other women even compare? Just wait, the real show's about to begin. These people are going to have their jaws drop, just like I did back then,' he thought.
Zoe's bold defiance pushed Quran over the edge.
Rick stepped in front of Quran, blocking Zoe's path. "Zoe, you still dare to come closer? Do you even know who you're facing?" he snapped.
Rick said, "Back when Clusia faced a seemingly unwinnable battle, it was Mr. Perkins who led the charge and turned the tide. He's Clusia's very first War King—our living legend!"
"Old man, know your place! Instead of enjoying your retirement at home, you're busy meddling in other people's love lives. Aren't you ashamed of acting so disgracefully?" Zoe's cutting words struck Quran like daggers.
Not a single person dared to breathe a word. Even Rick—normally quick to offer comfort—stood frozen in silence.
Zoe had successfully provoked Quran's fury. Quran glared at her and said coldly, "You insolent brat—speaking without knowing your place. I'll overlook your thoughtless words, but you're not even worthy of challenging me."
Zoe strode right up to Quran, standing face to face with him. At that moment, Rick still tried to block Zoe, intent on deepening the rift between her and Quran.
But Zoe shot him an icy glare so intense that even Rick involuntarily took a step back, a chill running down his spine.
He was a battle-hardened veteran who had weathered countless storms. But never—not once—had he encountered anyone with such terrifying killing intent!
That single glance from Zoe just now made him feel as if his life was hanging by a thread. Only a true master could project such a deadly aura.
Yet Zoe looked like nothing more than a young woman. Rick thought, 'How could someone so young, without ever having seen real combat, radiate such lethal intent?'
Rick's thoughts echoed those of most present. They had assumed that their mere presence would be enough to intimidate this seemingly innocent young woman into retreating. Yet they found themselves intimidated by her instead.
They thought, 'What a bitter irony this is.'
Quran was the only one unfazed by Zoe's deadly aura. Having fought in hundreds of battles, he was just as battle-hardened as she was.
It wasn't that he looked down on these young people—he simply believed that, having grown up in peacetime, they could never truly experience the brutal baptism by fire that only real combat could bring.
Soldiers trained in such times always seemed to lack that special edge only real combat could forge.
"Since you refuse to submit to me, let's have a showdown! Only the true victor has the right to speak!" In that instant, Zoe locked eyes with Quran and before everyone present, formally issued her challenge.
At the sound, many veteran soldiers drew sharp breaths. They thought, 'Did we hear that right? Is someone actually challenging Mr. Perkins? The undefeated War King of the armed forces!
'Don't let Quran's age fool you—his legendary combat prowess remains undiminished.
'Even if a hundred battle-hardened soldiers surrounded Quran, they'd struggle to gain the upper hand.
'He's a true one-man army; taking on a hundred at once is child's play for him. But now, this reckless woman actually dares to challenge Mr. Perkins... Isn't this a direct insult to the hero we all revere?'
"Who do you think you are? You think you're even worthy?" one veteran spat at Zoe.
"Yeah, get past us first before you even think about challenging Mr. Perkins!" another barked.
"With those fancy moves? Mr. Perkins could smash your face in with a single punch!" someone else scoffed.
"Young people these days are clueless. Not only do they lack respect for real heroes, but they even dare to shamelessly boast!" a bystander added.
"Someone really needs to teach these kids a lesson and make sure they remember their roots!" another grumbled.
The crowd universally dismissed Zoe, loudly tearing into her. If an ordinary woman were scolded like this to her face, she'd probably break down on the spot.
But this was Zoe. She was a force to be reckoned with—on par with the legendary warrior Shawn, a living legend to her followers.
Zoe thought, 'All these people blocking my way are just too damn noisy.'
Zoe lowered her gaze coldly, her expression icy. Without a word or warning, she erupted into action—a blur of lightning-fast side kicks sent several of the loudest protestors crashing to the ground before they could react.
