Chapter 1967 - 1554: Memories 5
The people present were also taken aback, with some even exclaiming in surprise.
"This..."
Kekaya quickly steadied himself, feeling somewhat embarrassed. In an instant, his muscles swelled, and he delivered a fierce punch towards Icaroya.
Icaroya stretched out his right hand, deftly deflecting the punch’s force, and then sharply drove his knee into Kekaya’s abdomen.
Kekaya swiftly stopped his momentum, quickly bent back, and dodged away.
As he increased the distance, his gaze turned extremely sharp, indicating he was ready to get serious.
"Well done! Luo Ya is pretty strong, so now I’ll get serious too. Watch out."
Kekaya warned while flexing his muscles.
Icaroya didn’t reply, only beckoning with his right hand.
Seeing this, Kekaya stopped holding back, explosively charged forward, and delivered a spinning kick towards Icaroya.
This scene left everyone in an uproar.
However, Icaroya remained calm. His feet suddenly exerted force, stepping in mid-air, and then leaped forward with an ascending kick.
Straightforwardly sending Kekaya flying.
Pfft~
Kekaya almost spat out blood, rolling over a dozen meters on the ground.
Enduring the intense pain, he quickly got up. Just as he was about to counterattack, he realized Icaroya was already close.
His expression tightened as he thought, "This isn’t good," and shouted out.
"Don’t hit my face!"
But it was too late; Icaroya’s punch landed directly on Kekaya’s face, sending him flying.
This time, Kekaya learned his lesson, endured the severe pain, got up again quickly, and used both hands to guard against Icaroya’s fierce kick.
He then reached to grab Icaroya’s right hand, intending to deliver a knee strike.
However, Icaroya twisted his wrist and countered with a shoulder throw, slamming Kekaya hard onto the ground.
Then, Icaroya raised his foot and stomped down fiercely.
Kekaya instinctively sensed danger and rolled away, narrowly avoiding it!
Icaroya’s foot landed on the ground!
Crack!
The metal-reinforced ground was dented. It’s noteworthy that they weren’t wearing bio armor; this power had already surpassed normal human limits.
The spectators took a deep breath.
"So strong."
"What’s so surprising about that? Icaroya is actually infamous within the army. But out of respect for Lord Icarus, everyone remains silent, and Kekaya is getting what he deserves."
An NCO whispered.
"I see."
...
At this moment, Kekaya, having dodged an attack, got up and was about to strike.
Unfortunately, Icaroya gave him no chance, closing in immediately and landing punch after punch on Kekaya’s chest.
The entire time, Icaroya didn’t hold back at all, truly beating him mercilessly.
Kekaya was beaten so hard that blood was seeping from the corner of his mouth.
Some onlooking NCOs were stunned and shouted in panic; "That’s enough, don’t go too far, that’s the Council President’s son!"
But Icaroya completely ignored the shouts, slamming another punch into Kekaya’s face.
One of his teeth flew out as a result.
Kekaya fell to the ground, and Icaroya stepped on his chest, coldly asking.
"Do you surrender?"
Kekaya was stubborn; he swallowed the blood in his mouth and stubbornly replied.
"Only a loser surrenders!"
Meanwhile, Kekaya grabbed Icaroya’s foot, intending to overturn him.
Icaroya’s gaze grew colder and with a sudden backward step retreated.
Kekaya took the opportunity to get up and charged at Icaroya, aiming a punch at his head.
Icaroya dodged the punch with a swift head movement and then unleashed all his strength, turning and kicking at Kekaya’s left foot!
Crack!
The sharp sound of a bone breaking echoed.
Kekaya cried out in pain, his face twisting in agony, almost falling to his knees.
At the same time, Icaroya grabbed Kekaya by the shoulders, slamming him to the ground.
Then Icaroya squatted down and delivered a punch that forced his face to "kiss" the ground.
"Admit defeat, or not?"
Icaroya fiercely questioned him.
Kekaya had wanted to stubbornly retort and refuse to surrender, but Icaroya was literally beating him to death, showing no signs of stopping.
Beaten to the point where he couldn’t muster any resistance, nor say a word.
On the stage,
"Lord Kekaya, please admit defeat, if you don’t, you might really get killed."
The spectators shouted urgently, alarmed.
Finally unable to hold on, Kekaya quickly shouted.
"Stop, stop, aunty I surrender."
When Icaroya heard Kekaya surrender, she ceased her attack and stood up, casting an indifferent glance over the crowd.
Everyone present swallowed hard, involuntarily shivering.
Icaroya paid no mind to their gazes, calmly descending the platform and heading towards the Parliament Building.
Encountering some NCOs along the way, they all greeted Icaroya.
"Lord Icaroya."
Icaroya nodded slightly in acknowledgment and proceeded forward.
Meanwhile, those NCOs behind her whispered among themselves.
"That’s Lord Icaroya, seems pretty strong."
"That’s obvious, don’t you know who her father is?"
"Indeed! But no matter how strong she is, she couldn’t possibly surpass her father, Lord Icarus, right?"
"Of course, throughout the entire Cosmic Alliance Government, they probably couldn’t find someone to match Lord Icarus."
...
Walking ahead, Icaroya’s cold gaze shifted constantly, her hanging hand unconsciously clenched into a fist.
No matter how hard she tried, Icarus was like an invisible mountain, weighing down on her.
...
Days later.
White Moon Starfall Empire·Imperial Palace.
Icaroya walked straight in; soldiers and maids patrolling along the way looked at Icaroya as if seeing the Moon Emperor, bowing their heads in fear.
In the Imperial Palace, Icaroya moved as freely as if it were her own backyard.
Soon she arrived at the Moon Emperor’s office, pushing open the doors and walking in.
The Moon Emperor, busy with documents, looked up upon Icaroya’s return.
"Master, I’m back. I’ve completed the tasks you assigned."
Icaroya replied solemnly.
"Well done, you’re becoming more outstanding. Over the years, you’ve represented the White Moon Starfall Empire in participating in the Alliance Expeditionary Army to explore and combat the outer universe, excelling in every task. I’m very satisfied!"
In the Moon Emperor’s cold eyes, rare appreciation showed. She was increasingly fond of Icaroya.
Over the years, she had come to treat her like a daughter.
Icaroya responded expressionlessly: "It’s my duty. But Master, I think these tasks aren’t challenging enough; I hope for more difficult assignments."
The Moon Emperor, upon hearing Icaroya’s words, thoughtfully considered for a few moments before saying.
"I have a task here. If you can accomplish it, you’ll graduate. No matter how vast the universe is, you’ll have the right to soar freely."
"Please tell me, Master!"
Icaroya suddenly lifted her head to look at the Moon Emperor.
