At this moment.
Brand and Ryan Hamel clashed.
It was a one-sided suppression.
Brand completely dominated, but that was all he could do; he couldn't kill Ryan Hamel.
The latter was battered.
His body was torn and tattered.
But only the mask remained intact.
Even so, Ryan Hamel still taunted, "Give up, Brand, you simply can't kill me. Your stupidity is laughable."
Brand struck with a punch, sending Ryan Hamel flying far away.
But the latter still hung on, neither dead nor alive.
He really was like an indestructible cockroach.
Honestly.
Brand was now somewhat troubled; he discovered he had absolutely no way to deal with Ryan Hamel.
He couldn't kill him.
And he couldn't remove the mask. Ignoring him could lead to more troublesome issues.
Even Brand considered asking "His Excellency the Duke" to take action.
In his view, everything would be resolved once the Duke intervened.
Despite knowing that the Duke's strength and memory had not fully recovered.
