“Dad, this guy has a strange temper and won’t easily give us a chance!” Rocco expressed his concern.
Barney waved his hand and said calmly, “Even if he doesn’t give us a chance, we still have to approach him with the most sincere attitude and ask for forgiveness.”
“Our family is well-known in Shipmeda and even in the southern state. Our reputation, wealth, and power are no longer important to me,” Barney continued. “What matters most to me is our family’s health and safety.”
“And Flynn can guarantee both of these things. We must make friends with him,” Barney added.
Rocco remained silent.
Yesterday during their visit to Niarak, he learned about some things regarding Flynn.
Elis and Callie were both terminally ill but were cured by Flynn in the end. Moreover, he was Roman’s master!
In this day and age, who can guarantee that they won’t get sick? Who doesn’t want to live longer? Especially people like them who hold high positions of power with money at their disposal – they crave good health more than anything else.
With Flynn’s martial arts surpassing even a Great Grandmaster, he was like a god or a demon. The Spencer family had even more reason to befriend him.
“Although the King of Poison is dead, knowing Molly’s personality, she will continue to search for the forces behind him.”
“That organization is too terrifying. If Molly continues to investigate, she will definitely be in danger. If Flynn can protect her, she will be relatively safer.”
Barney said as he thought.
“Protect? You mean, let Molly stay by Flynn’s side?” Rocco frowned and shook his head.
“Dad, you’re too confident. Whether Flynn will even see us is a question, let alone asking him to protect Molly.”
Barney smiled confidently and said, “Don’t worry, I have a way to make Molly stay by his side.”
….
Meanwhile.
Layla also received the news of the King of Poison’s demise and couldn’t help but be stunned. She exclaimed, “Cruz actually succeeded!”
After escaping from being injured by Mark, she knew that only the God of War could give her a chance at survival.
But the King of Poison was skilled in using poison, and even Cruz could be affected if he made a mistake. She didn’t expect him to be unharmed and even kill the King of Poison!
Kimber said, “The police announcement didn’t mention Cruz. They only announced the death of the King of Poison.”
Layla’s face darkened, and she said coldly, “Who else could it be besides the God of War? He just doesn’t want to draw attention.”
“I’ve been following him until now, and in the end, Cruz, who didn’t even bother showing his face, took advantage of it! It’s truly despicable!”
Kimber also expressed her hatred, saying, “If it weren’t for you engaging in a fight with Mark and exhausting a lot of his energy, Cruz wouldn’t have had an easy time trying to kill two Grandmasters.”
“He might have been killed on the spot!”
“That’s right!” Layla nodded and looked up at the sky with her hands behind her back.
“I fought against Mark for half an hour, using all my strength in every move and consuming a lot of his energy.”
“I’ve been involved in too many business activities in the past year, to the point where my martial arts have stagnated. It seems I need to focus.”
“I will make myself stronger! Become the first genius in Ostrad who excels in both medicine and martial arts!”
This failure ignited Layla’s fighting spirit and she made a resolution to improve her martial arts skills.
Meanwhile, the Pearce family was also under pressure.
They were in a state of urgency.
“Are you sure? Mark is also dead?” Elis tightly grasped the armrest and anxiously asked Jasper.
Jasper hung up the phone and confirmed, “Yes! Mark went to Energence Pharmaceuticals with the King of Poison to seize the Bloodwort, and Flynn slapped him to death!”
Upon hearing this, Elis sat down heavily on the chair and slapped the table, saying, “How did Mark end up colluding with the King of Poison?”
“The military exercise of the nine military regions is about to begin. Your brother specially invited Mark as an instructor, thinking that there would be a breakthrough this year, but he ended up dead!”
Brandon’s eyes were also filled with sadness, and he sighed heavily.
Every year, Ostrad held a special military exercise where the elite forces of the ten major military regions would compete.
The Shipmeda military region had consistently ranked last for three years. If they didn’t improve their ranking this year, Brandon might not even be promoted to the rank of brigadier general and could even be forced to retire!
“Huh? Jasper, what did you just say? Mr. Clark slapped Mark to death?” Elis suddenly widened his eyes.
Brandon also raised his head abruptly.
“Yes, Travis told me himself. Mr. Clark slapped Mark, and kicked the King of Poison.”
“Garrett was also killed by Mr. Clark.”
“The scene was extremely gruesome, with flesh everywhere!”
“But the most terrifying thing is that Mr. Clark didn’t resist at all, and Ayden’s poison couldn’t even get close to him!”
Brandon took a sharp breath.
Mark was a Grandmaster!
And Flynn slapped him to death?!
No resistance, unaffected by poison?
Jasper might not understand, but as a martial artist himself, Brandon knew what this meant.
Flynn’s martial arts were definitely beyond a Great Grandmaster!
“With Mr. Clark, why would I need Mark? He only needs to make a slight move, and it’s enough to deal with the people under me!” Brandon clenched his fists in excitement.
Above a Great Grandmaster, an existence akin to a god or a demon, on the same level as the Ten Kings of the Northern Territory. It could only be described as terrifying!
Elis was also stunned, his hands trembling.
“I used to think that even though Mr. Clark excelled in medicine, as the first noble family, Callie and him would be a good match.”
“But now, even if Callie could marry Mr. Clark, it would be reaching high!”
Flynn’s medical skills were extraordinary, and the Pearce family had already experienced it.
But Flynn only seemed to engage in minor incidents in the city, and Elis couldn’t see his martial arts potential. He thought he was just a Grandmaster.
Little did he know, Flynn’s combat power surpassed a Great Grandmaster!
It was terrifying!
They could only look up to him!
Jasper shook his head, feeling somewhat helpless. “But you know Mr. Clark’s temperament.”
“It’s harder to get him to take action than to reach the heavens!”
Elis sighed softly upon hearing this. “Yes! Our family owes Mr. Clark so much already, it would be a bit excessive to ask him again. But there’s no other choice. Only Mr. Clark can save Brandon now!”
“Ah! Let Callie give it a try.”
“If not, it can only mean that you, Brandon, don’t have the luck of a high-ranking officer…”
…
With the death of the King of Poison, the news shook the world. Most people rejoiced and even set off firecrackers.
The one in the most miserable situation was Braiden, who was terrified. He had fled to the outskirts overnight, ready to run away at any moment.
It wasn’t until dawn when he was sure he hadn’t been exposed that he returned to the mansion.
Flynn, on the other hand, didn’t care much. It was as if he had casually plucked a couple of leaves. He returned to the villa and went to sleep.
The next day, as he leaned against the bedside upon waking up, Flynn recalled what had happened the day before. He felt that he should visit the old man at the funeral home.
Perhaps his family knew something.
Following the address provided by Emanuel, Flynn quickly arrived at an old residential area and knocked on the door.
An old, weathered-faced, limping old woman opened the door. After taking a few glances at Flynn, she hoarsely asked, “Young man, who are you looking for?”
“Is this the home of Wild Wilcox?” Flynn asked.
“Wild was my husband. He’s been dead for ten years. Why are you looking for him?” A trace of wariness flashed in the old lady’s eyes.
“Mrs. Wilcox, I’m Flynn Clark. I wanted to ask if there was anything unusual or if he offended anyone before he passed away.”
“Flynn Clark?” The old lady was momentarily stunned, then quickly asked, “What’s your mother’s name?”
“Adrianna!” Flynn replied.
“What!” The old lady suddenly grabbed Flynn’s hand, excitedly saying, “You’re Adrianna’s child? You’ve grown so big! Come in, come in quickly!”
Upon hearing this, Flynn immediately perked up.
There was indeed a connection to his mother!
This trip wasn’t in vain!
