Book:A King Reborn in Shadows Published:2024-6-4

“Such a coward, stirring trouble and then hiding behind a woman, that’s not manly at all!”
“This guy really has bad character, not even willing to help his friends. Better off dead!”
“Whether he helps or not, does the outcome change? It’s all the same death!”
Maverick’s men couldn’t help laughing.
They thought Flynn was shameless, having punched Maverick’s son and then letting someone else take the blade for him, a true coward!
Flynn was momentarily stunned.
He had just been advising Molly, mentioning her martial arts were powerful and direct, but she was too focused on her target during combat, which made her less aware of her surroundings.
If she encountered a practitioner of Inner Strength, an attack from the side would likely be successful.
Flynn meant to-
There was a group of Inner Strength practitioners before him, and he wanted to test Molly’s skills to discover her weaknesses and help her improve.
Molly wasn’t pleased?
“Slap my own face?” Maverick sneered upon hearing this, “I’ve heard Miss Hussain talk about a foolhardy twerp around Rose. That must be you.”
“Think you can escape unscathed every time? Not this time.”
“Heh… I can tell you with certainty, today you will endure severe torture and die in despair!”
Flynn, impatient, raised an eyebrow:
“I’ll give you a chance.”
“I’m not interested in what your master’s relationship with Lilia is.”
“But if the Eight Extremities School intervenes in our conflict, I won’t hesitate to take you all on!”
Maverick burst out laughing, harshly saying, “Young man, I know you’re skilled, even a God of War.”
“But this is Shipmeda State, no clan or organization dares to oppose the Eight Extremities School!”
“The God of War won’t offend the entire Eight Extremities School for a mere dog like you!”
Molly shook her head.
Hear that?
Just as I thought, the Eight Extremities School has a massive foundation and connections across the province, owning dozens of industries.
The scariest part is their ruthless methods and strong vindictiveness, capable of any cruelty.
The God of War would never risk it for Flynn!
Flynn shrugged, raising his eyebrow, “Mr. Santana, you’re insisting on meddling?”
Maverick shook his head with a cold laugh:
“Actually, our manager doesn’t want to get involved in this mess, but Miss Hussain offered too much.”
“Just to help defeat Rose, Miss Hussain will pay fifty billion dollars.”
“I think that’s a condition no one can refuse!”
Rose’s face was stern, “Mr. Santana, if Lilia can offer Mr. Goff fifty billion, so can I.”
“And I can assure you, the final victor will be the Sharp’s Group!”
Fifty billion sounds like a lot, but if it can subdue Maximo, the odds for the Sharp’s Group would be much greater.
After defeating the three-family alliance, the Sharp’s Group could profit by a hundred billion, sharing fifty billion with Maximo isn’t too much.
Maverick scoffed disdainfully:
“Is Ms. Sharp dreaming? Thinking she can win after beating Lilia once?”
“Let me tell you, Miss Layla has just returned from Slatin, do you know how much funding she brought for Lilia?”
“Fifty billion!”
“And she didn’t use a single penny from the Woods family, it was all from her high-society friends!”
Molly was visibly shocked upon hearing this.
Layla was terrifying, able to raise fifty billion in such a short time just based on her reputation.
She truly was a favored child of heaven!
If only I had her capabilities, I wouldn’t worry about avenging the George family!
Flynn was taken aback.
Yesterday, while visiting Ms. Carr in the hospital, he learned from Old Mrs. Wilcox that Layla would only return next week.
Yet, she managed to raise fifty billion in two days.
But then again, Layla had just become a Grandmaster, and Kimber must have promoted her.
As a result, everyone’s respect for Layla only increased, of course, they were willing to invest in this promising prodigy.
Thinking this, Flynn couldn’t help but glance at Rose, feeling resentful:
“See? This is what your Miss Sharp has done, using my Tempering Body Tea to empower Layla!”
Rose smiled slightly:
“Doesn’t Mr. Santana know that the Hussain’s Group’s Dragon Gate Group desperately needs two hundred billion?”
“Fifty billion will barely let Lilia catch her breath.”
Maverick chuckled, shaking his head:
“A three-legged cauldron, even if one leg is cracked, it can still stand firm.”
“Especially with Layla as a strong pillar, it won’t easily collapse.”
“But the Sharp’s Group, fighting alone, will collapse with just one strike.”
“Unless you have a pillar like Layla, but do you? Don’t mention the God of War, it’s useless.”
“He can’t even save himself, let alone care about you.”
“Save himself?” Rose frowned slightly, not understanding his implication.
Maverick smiled mysteriously, saying:
“You’ll find out in a few days. I advise Ms. Sharp to prepare, once the God of War is dismissed by the military, your end will come too.”
Rose smiled faintly, not responding further.
The matter of the God of War was merely a bluff to intimidate the three-family alliance.
The God of War had no real connection to Energence Pharmaceuticals; his downfall wouldn’t significantly impact her, so she didn’t bother to inquire further.
Molly, however, was somewhat excited.
Because if the God of War was dismissed by the military, he would become an ordinary person, and she would have more chances to interact with him.
Flynn furrowed his brow.
Cruz to be dismissed by the military?
After healing his back injury and teaching him some Martial Arts, he had made notable achievements in the Northern Territory over the past three years.
In gratitude, he had even gifted Flynn the Thodell Mansion.
Why would the military dismiss him?
“Mr. Santana, look how funny this kid looks, hearing that the God of War is about to fall has him petrified!”
“Strange, isn’t it? When the master shines, the pet dog bites everyone around, and nobody minds because of the master. Now that the master is about to be ruined, of course, the dog panics!”
“You bring disaster on yourself, as glorious as you were before, now you’re just as miserable.”
“I normally wouldn’t bother with such a petty person, I’ll leave it to Lilia to handle.”
“But since he injured Dennis, he might just die a few days sooner!” Maverick said with a murderous look.
Flynn didn’t want to engage with their nonsensical talk, speaking indifferently, “Mr. Santana, you mean to say, if Ms. Sharp doesn’t pay thirty million in toll fees, those three trucks won’t be able to leave, correct?”
Maverick spread his hands, smirking condescendingly:
“If you have the capability, like beating all my men down and dragging the vehicles blocking the road away.”
“I might not need the thirty million.”
“Pity you don’t have that capability!”
The men crossed their arms, smug and scornful, not taking Flynn seriously at all.
One hundred and forty experts, half of them practitioners of Inner Strength – even a Grandmaster would falter, let alone this young man.
Rose had only two options, either abandon the three trucks of raw materials and leave or pay the thirty million to drive the trucks away.
Flynn’s gaze suddenly turned icy, his eyes narrowing, “Alright then! Since you’ve put it that way, I’ll accommodate you!”
Boom!
A surge of martial might erupted, the temperature around plummeting, Flynn, enveloped in a relentless killing intent, charged towards Maverick!
Molly saw Flynn’s murderous aura rise, and her face turned pale with shock.
Flynn planning to fight over a hundred people alone?
Not even Grandmasters could stand against them!
Has he gone mad?
