“Senior Elder, please check Salena’s injuries first.”
Brooke Nunez didn’t respond to his sister’s words but turned to the elderly man with white hair and spoke.
“Understood, Young Master!” The old man responded and walked towards Salena.
“I’m fine. I don’t need healing. I want him dead!” Salena continued pointing at Soul Chaser. “Senior Elder, take action quickly, kill him now!”
“Salena!” Brooke frowned and reprimanded. Then, he approached Soul Chaser and asked, “Who are you people?”
“Your sister wants you to kill me, and you’re not doing anything?” Soul Chaser retorted.
“Do you know the cost of arrogance? Do you believe…” Brooke stared coldly at Soul Chaser.
“Enough of the nonsense. If you want to fight, do it now or back off!” Soul Chaser interrupted him.
“Very well!” Brooke took a deep breath and said sternly, “Since you seek death, I’ll grant your wish!”
As he spoke, a chilling intent emanated from him. The onlookers instinctively stepped back.
They had heard that Silent Mirage Duke was a genuine Emperor Realm expert! When someone of this level took action, just the shockwaves could be lethal!
“Young Master, wait!” Just as Brooke Nunez was about to attack, the white-haired old man hurriedly approached.
He glanced at Billy and whispered to Brooke Nunez while getting closer.
“Hmm?” After hearing the old man’s words, Brooke Nunez couldn’t help but scrutinize Billy, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Although the old man couldn’t recognize Billy’s identity, he told Brooke Nunez that the stranger might be no less powerful than him.
As one of the Eight Prodigies of Martial Arts, Brooke Nunez had his pride. He considered himself peerless among young talents in the entire martial arts world, as long as the top disciples of those major forces didn’t show up.
Now, the Senior Elder was telling him that this unfamiliar young man might be on par with him. It naturally caught him off guard. Did he get involved with someone influential unknowingly?
“You, sir, seem quite familiar. What should I call you?” Brooke Nunez took a deep breath and addressed Billy.
As one of the Eight Prodigies, he not only possessed superior martial arts talent but also had a keen mind. He wouldn’t act recklessly like his impulsive sister.
“You really know how to flatter yourself.” Stout glanced at Brooke Nunez and then turned to Billy. “Boss, how do we handle this? Execute or spare?”
“Hmm?” Hearing Stout’s words, Brooke Nunez’s face slightly darkened. He had never been so blatantly ignored in his entire life.
“Forget it, let’s go!” Billy replied calmly, turning and walking toward the entrance of the boulevard. He came here today for the people of the Douglas family. Others didn’t interest him.
“Good choice!” Stout commented and followed, with Soul Chaser and Gerry Schuman trailing closely behind.
“Stop right there! I’ll kill you…” Salena shouted again.
“Salena, shut up!” Brooke Nunez cast a stern glance at his sister after seeing the figures of Billy and the others disappear.
“Brooke, why let them go…” Salena seemed unwilling to let it go.
“Miss, don’t be impulsive. They are not ordinary people!” The white-haired old man advised, “Let’s go inside first, and we can see how the situation develops later!”
“But…” Salena continued to protest.
“Don’t shout. Listen to Senior Elder!” Brooke Nunez interrupted himself and walked towards the entrance.
Two minutes later, Billy and his group entered the boulevard.
The Douglas family had opened their doors wide today, welcoming guests from all over. The people who came today didn’t need any invitation cards; the guards at the gate simply asked a few questions and let them in.
“There are really a lot of people here today!” Stout remarked as they walked.
“The Douglas family holds a high position in the martial arts world. For many young people in the martial arts world, having a chance to become a son-in-law of the Douglas family is a rare opportunity they wouldn’t easily give up.” Soul Chaser chuckled.
“Others who didn’t come for the martial arts competition might have other intentions, perhaps wanting to curry favor with the Douglas family.” He continued.
“Alright!” Stout shrugged his shoulders.
“Do you know about Silent Mirage Sect?” Billy asked Stout.
“I have a rough idea!” Stout responded. “Ranked among the top forces in the martial arts world, their overall strength surpasses that of the Douglas family! As for their moral character, they are the typical parasites of the nation!”
“A hundred years ago, during a major disaster, many sects and families not only didn’t contribute but also made moves behind the scenes. Silent Mirage Sect was one of them!”
“Is that so?” Billy’s eyes revealed a hint of coldness.
Soon after, the group reached the entrance of the Douglas family’s large courtyard. Similar to the entrance on the boulevard, the gate here was wide open. Once inside, they looked towards a square on the west side. In the center of the square, a temporary steel-framed arena had been set up, measuring about a hundred meters on each side. Around the arena were about a thousand chairs.
At this moment, the seating area had already filled up with seven or eight hundred people, chatting in groups of three to five.
“Boss, should we go directly to find the head of the Douglas family, or…?” Soul Chaser asked Billy.
“Let’s find a place to sit first and see how it goes!” Billy replied, heading towards the square, followed by Stout and the others.
After a short while, Silent Mirage Sect group also entered the courtyard. They sat not far from Billy’s group.
Salena glanced over at Billy’s group, her eyes full of endless chill.
“Haha… Brooke, what a coincidence!” At this moment, a man’s voice rang out.
Then, a man in his thirties walked over to Brooke Nunez. He had a refined appearance, a well-proportioned figure, a ponytail tied on his head, wearing a white robe. His skin was more delicate than that of most women. If he wore a bit of makeup, he might be prettier than the average woman.
“Harold, you’re here too?” Seeing the man, Brooke Nunez was slightly stunned, then stood up.
“Haha, Brooke, by the way you said that, are you afraid I’ll appear and steal your future bride?” The man named Harold Flower, laughed again.
“Harold, you jest.” Brooke smiled and said, “I’m just bored and came to join the fun. If you’re interested, I can help you deal with a few competitors.”
“Haha, thanks for your kind offer, Brooke. I came for another matter to discuss with the head of the Douglas family, not to participate in the martial arts competition for marriage!” Harold Flower laughed in response. As he spoke, he looked at Salena and said, “Salena, we meet again. How have you been?”
While talking, his gaze swept over Salena’s breasts, with a hint of fanaticism in his pupils.
“Harold. It’s been a long time!” Salena greeted him. Her mind was completely focused on Billy’s group, so she directly ignored this man’s gaze.
“Salena, you seem to be in a bad mood?” Harold Flower continued to smile, “Did someone make you angry?”
