At a certain pub in Northspring…Jackie was respectfully standing in front of a pale-faced young man with black circles around his eyes.He said ingratiatingly, “Mr. Zachry, we must show this kid some lessons later for spoiling your plan!”Mr. Zachry’s name was Matthew Zachry. He had seen Cecile’s photo before.Even though Cecile was wearing washed-out clothes in the photo, she looked gorgeous. When he saw the photo, he couldn't believe that a person could look so good without dressing up.When the Redcliffs heard that Cecile had received a large sum of compensation money after Timothy fell to his death, Jackie was stunned after following his family to Timothy’s house and seeing the rumored adopted daughter of his uncle.At that time, he decided on the spot to offer Cecile to Matthew in exchange for a job opportunity beside him.Yet, someone came and foiled his plan today. He immediately informed Matthew, and as he expected, Matthew flew into a rage and sent someone over there.
A loud thud erupted, and Hendery sprang forward like a leopard on a hunger hunt.Matthew’s face turned pale as he stumbled backward in fright.“Stay put, Mr. Zachry.” Otto let out a smile and took a step forward to stand in front of him. He lifted his arm and threw a punch forward.Hendery’s expression changed when his fist connected with Otto’s.Hendery was sent flying toward the back and slammed into the wall, releasing a thud in the air in the process.“Pfft!” He spurted out a mouthful of blood and mumbled, “Y-You’re a master?” Hendery’s face was written with disbelief. His face tilted sideways, and he fell unconscious.“Way to go, Mr. Hoffman!” Matthew exclaimed in delight.Hendery was about 200 pounds, yet Otto was able to send him flying several feet toward the back in a single punch.Only then did he realize how powerful Otto was and that his father was not lying to him.Jackie and the others were looking at Otto with admiration as they all felt that he was truly terr
After Otto finished speaking, he threw himself at Kayson without any hesitation. He was moving very fast, and he arrived in front of Kayson in a blink of an eye. However, Kayson remained standing stiff and looked as if he couldn’t keep up with Otto’s speed.Otto scoffed coldly inwardly. ‘So what if he's a master at such a young age? I'm sure he's nowhere near someone like me! Besides, he must have a shallow foundation given his young age. There’s a possibility that he became a master after consuming some medication. I’m already a well-seasoned fighter, and I became a master a long time ago! Getting rid of someone like him is as easy as a piece of cake!’Otto swooped his arm in a mighty downward swipe. The power he had amassed on his palm was strong enough to crush someone’s bone in one hit.Meanwhile, Kayson lifted his hand so slowly that it seemed like he had given up fighting back. Their hands collided midair, and the floor beneath Kayson’s feet cracked. Just when a triumphant
Matthew’s head was filled with cold sweat as he continued. “I-I’m not sure either. He isn’t someone that I can reach at my level.”Kayson let out a cold smile and said, “If you can’t reach him, then why did you say he’s the one who instructed you to target Cecile?”“He sent his man to me! I’m not lying!” Matthew hastily said, fearing that Kayson wouldn’t believe in him. “No one dares to act under the name of Fernanda in Northspring!”Just as Kayson was immersed in his thoughts, Hendery chimed in. “Young man, he’s right.“Fernanda is the strongest in Northspring. Everyone knows who he is, and he's so strong that even the Hamiltons in Northspring refuse to go against him.”Kayson said, “But I’m not from Northspring, and I’ve never offended him before.”Hendery let out a bitter smile. “Fernanda has never been a benevolent person. He’ll never say no to money, and anyone can hire him as long as they’re willing to pay him the price he names.”Matthew nodded hastily, “That’s right. Fer
Kayson nearly laughed upon seeing how swollen Hendery’s sister’s eyes were.Rowena was a pretty girl. Otherwise, a rich heir like Matthew would not have taken a fancy to her anyway. Her swollen eyes made such a huge contrast against the pretty face that it was kind of hilarious.Hendery scratched his head. “Excuse the embarrassment, Kayson.”Kayson grinned in reply. “No worries.”Rowena was a little anxious when she saw her elder brother bring back a guy around her age. “Hendery, which hospital does this doctor come from?”Before Hendery answered, Kayson said, “I’m not working in any hospital. You can consider me a wandering doctor if you’d like.”‘A w-wandering doctor?’ Rowena was baffled. Was that not also known as a conman?She hastily pulled the covers over her legs and forced a smile. “Thank you for the kind thought, but I think I’m fine.”Hendery asked in astonishment, “What are you doing, Rowena?”Kayson’s medical prowess was evidently extraordinary as he had easily hea
“Sure!” Hendery accepted the prescription and went out.Kayson told Rowena, “Ms. Todd, I’ll help you regulate your circulation first.”Rowena did not reject him this time. Her calf bones were already in that condition. How much worse could they get?Kayson unwrapped the gauze that was around Rowena’s leg and pressed a finger against a pressure point, causing some darkened blood to ooze out of her wound.Rowena was pale as she quivered with gritted teeth.“You’ve felt some prickling pain from these spots earlier because of poor circulation of blood and energy that damaged your blood vessels.”Rowena was astonished. “You… How did you know? I denied all of them.”He knew that she was lying!Kayson smiled without explaining. He was at the god stage now and had reached the mind expansion level. Rowena’s attempts to conceal her emotions in front of him were all in vain.Rowena was a little ashamed. The mad she had labeled as a conman was genuinely skilled.With the circulation of b
At Drago Gym in Northspring…The gym was not exactly big, but no one in Northspring dared underestimate it because the owner was the best fighter in the city—Fernando Saul.Fernando was tall and muscular and exuded an intimidating aura. He was on a call with someone in his office in the gym, and the person on the other end of the line asked, “Who’s Hendery Todd?”“A small fry in the Admiralporium,” replied Fernando. “You don’t have to worry about him, Mr. Wadley.”Joseph sounded taken aback. “The Admiralporium, huh?”Fernando looked disdainful as he spoke confidently. “Don’t worry, Mr. Wadley. I’ll have Kayson Yarde’s head tonight and delight Sir Osborn.”Joseph’s tone was tinged with a smile. “I’m not worried since you’re handling it. But Kayson isn’t a weak one. He was able to severely injure Nicholas. Be careful.”“No grandmaster can avoid the firing of bullets. I’ll spike the drinks tonight for double assurance, making sure there’s no way he can go back after coming,” Fernan
Their chat was cut short when a tall man who wore a ghost of a smirk walked in.“Mr. Saul.” Hendery got up immediately to show his respect. Fernando was the best fighter in Northspring and was at the highest level of a master.Fernando nodded, seemingly polite, as he asked with a smile, “This is Mr. Kayson Yarde, I presume?”Hendery briefly introduced both men to each other before they took their seats.Fernando was a talker with a lot of experience, able to throw in a comment or two regardless of the topic of conversation.As they chatted while they ate, Hendery steered the conversation to the point. He raised a glass of wine.“Mr. Saul, this is my bro, Kayson. He’s got a small misunderstanding with you.“Playing host today, I hope you can do me this favor, and Kayson will also apologize to you.”Fernando held Hendery’s hand that was going to tip his wine glass back to gulp down the liquid as he said with a smile, “There’s no hurry, Mr. Todd.“I’m a reasonable man, and since
