Dorian looked up at Retsu no Kami and said calmly, "I want to defeat you."

"You cannot fulfill this wish."

Retsukai responded in a deep voice, took a step forward, lowered his waist, and assumed a fist-fighting stance, "Now, I will use my fists to shatter your budding little dream into nothingness!"

"..."

Dorian remained calm, raised his left fist, which had been smashed by Shiramoto, and then used his right hand, which had been blown apart by the bomb, to straighten and clench his left fingers one by one.

At the very least, it has to be a "fist," right?

With each strand he straightened, Dorian couldn't help but think—

I noticed it a long time ago, Retsu Kaioh.

I've always been the loser!!

My life should have been filled with victories, shining brightly.

But in reality, it was already shrouded in darkness...

"..."

Dorian finally clenched his left fist, but even with all his might, it was still loose.

He threw a punch at Retsu Kaioh!

then……

He was hit squarely in the face by Retsu Kaioh's fist, and flew backward, losing consciousness completely.

Chapter 220 Amusement Park and Candy

boom!

With Retsu Kaioh's punch landing, Dorian collapsed unconscious, marking the end of tonight's duel.

There were many participants.

In their encounters with "Aquaman's Fist," everyone had their share of victories and defeats, and most were quite satisfied.

The outcome of the duel with "Dorian" was without a doubt.

Witnessed by Retsukai-oh, the president of the Kengan Association, the Thai royal family, the founder of the Shinshin Association, and many other parties.

Winner: Shiraki Sei!

"Oh, we won—!"

Bai Mucheng clenched his right fist and raised it, gesturing to the crowd.

Everyone responded in different ways: some clapped in celebration, some nodded and smiled, and some shouted in greeting...

Bai Mucheng grinned broadly, "Great, fantastic!"

Although a real battle doesn't necessarily need an audience, it was still quite exhilarating to end amidst cheers and applause from the crowd.

……

……

The message that the battle was over was sent out approximately five minutes later.

The Metropolitan Police Department, which had been waiting for a long time, arrived.

Several patrol cars crowded the streets around the martial arts school; two ambulances were parked in front of the school—beside the dilapidated courtyard wall and the street.

In terms of danger to ordinary people, Dorian is far less insane than Speck, but he has indeed caused the Metropolitan Police Department and fighters to suffer heavy losses, so they have to be treated with caution.

"..."

The team leader was an old acquaintance—Iori Kazuka.

She sent one team of doctors to examine everyone in the hospital, and another team of doctors to give Dorian, who had collapsed and was unconscious, some basic first aid.

This was a "duel," not a "private execution."

If the difference between these two is confused, then the outcome of the battle with Dorian becomes meaningless, which is not what the martial artists present are looking for.

However, Dorian is wanted for murder and is extremely dangerous, so leaving him alone is not an option.

"In short, let's take Dorian into custody first, and then we'll talk about other things—international law and such, I'll probably just extradite him and put him to death..."

Yi Hua's gaze swept around, and he saw that the nearby streets were in a mess, with potholes of all sizes everywhere, and even spider web-like cracks on the road surface.

The outer wall of the Fighting Spirit Martial Arts Hall collapsed in one section, and there were even explosions and fires at the entrance!

It seems there's also acid corrosion involved?

What exactly happened tonight? Judging from the situation, calling it a "war" wouldn't be an exaggeration...

"..."

The doctors in charge of examining Dorian also noticed these signs and couldn't help but worry.

"Hey, such a big fuss, just to arrest a seriously injured patient, won't there be any problems?"

"I heard he's a death row inmate who escaped from the US, he's very dangerous..."

As they were talking, the attending physician suddenly noticed that Dorian had somehow woken up.

He was wrapped in bandages all over his body, with a brace on his nose, and plaster casts on his hands and legs. He opened his lifeless eyes and stared blankly at the night sky above.

"—?!"

This scene terrified the doctors, who didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

"Gudu..."

Seeing this, Iori Kazuka swallowed hard and forced a smile, trying to comfort him, "It's alright, the Metropolitan Police Department is still here, we'll find a way."

But turning her head, Yi Hua couldn't help but look at Bai Mucheng, "Are you alright...? How are you feeling? If something really happened, would you still be able to fight?"

Before Bai Mucheng could speak, Lie Haiwang beside him responded in a low voice, "There's no need for that anymore."

"Huh...?"

Upon hearing this, the doctors and police officers were all taken aback.

King Lie sighed softly, "Right now, we don't even need a barbed wire fence to trap Dorian."

"..."

The doctors stared at each other, unable to comprehend what Retsukai-oh had said.

The next second—

Swish!

Dorian suddenly sat up, startling the doctors who gasped and even fell to the ground, trying to kick their legs and run away.

But to everyone's surprise, Dorian did nothing.

He sat there, still looking up at the sky, his eyes wide open as he gazed at the night.

"sugar……"

Dorian murmured, his voice sounding somewhat childish, "Candy... fruit..."

The people around looked at each other in bewilderment.

Dorian pointed to the sky, gesturing for everyone to look at the stars, "Look, they're little candies, but there are so few..."

The night sky over Tokyo is indeed difficult to see stars due to the city lights; only a few scattered, blurry ones are visible.

"I want...candy..."

Dorian lowered his head in disappointment, but then noticed that the lights in the Fighting Spirit Martial Arts Hall were on, and his face lit up with joy. "There's candy too! Lots and lots of it..."

He called all the stars and lights he saw candy.

His tone at that moment also had an inexplicable naivety, which seemed extremely abnormal.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Dorian suddenly stood up from the ground, ignoring his broken left knee, and hopped and skipped into the courtyard of the Fighting Spirit Martial Arts Hall.

He reached out to try and touch them, and even though he couldn't grab the "light-up candies," he was still very happy.

"Haha, an amusement park..."

Dorian pounced on a heavy tire, flipped it forward with force, and laughed heartily as he heard a muffled "thump."

Immediately afterwards, he went to the horizontal bar, put his elbows on the bar, lifted his legs off the ground, and swayed back and forth as if he were on a swing.

"Ha! I'm going to... have a blast! Haha..."

Dorian was having so much fun that he accidentally fell to the ground, rolled forward a few times, and crashed into a 150kg sandbag not far away.

He stood up on one leg, looked at the sandbag in front of him, and reached out to stroke the marks left by practice on it.

suddenly--

Dorian squatted down on his right leg, facing the sandbag, and began practicing the basic stance training in boxing. His movements were standard and solid, and he did it using only one leg.

But in the end, he collapsed to the ground due to exhaustion, and just sat there blankly, without saying a word.

"..."

Rito felt that Dorian was still putting on an act and was about to expose him when Retsu Kaioh stopped him.

“Dad, he…”

Dorian sat on the ground with his legs outstretched and his hands circling in front of his chest, looking like a child caught up in an embarrassing memory.

"My dad only gave me two candies..."

"But I...want lots and lots of candy!"

Dorian looked up, his eyes devoid of light, his voice filled with fear and grievance.

"Dad is always like this, even though I love eating candy..."

“I wanted to tell my mother these things, but she…is gone…”
