“Mr. Watson, may I ask what realm your father-in-law is in now?” Layla Woods couldn’t help but ask after Karlis Wallace left with his grandson’s body.
Zion Watson’s father-in-law has been in seclusion for ten years.
Before entering seclusion, he was at the peak of the Great Grandmaster realm. Now, after ten years, who knew what level he had reached?
“He ‘s at the peak of the Lesser Sovereign!” Zion Watson narrowed his eyes, a chill spreading within them.
“What?! Peak of the Lesser Sovereign? That’s almost a half-step to the Greater Sovereign!”
“So fast! This is the result of ten years of secluded cultivation!” Layla Woods was filled with shock.
To advance from the peak of the Great Grandmaster realm to the peak of the Lesser Sovereign realm in just ten years was incredibly rare!
Everyone knews that the higher one cultivated, the harder it became to advance.
Releasing energy externally was a unique technique to a Grandmaster, while being able to manipulate natural energy was a unique technique to a cultivator at the level of Sovereign.
With the full power of the head of the Jenkins family unleashed, it was feared that Jade Dragon Mountain would collapse, mountains would be split, and everything would be suppressed!
Maisie was the favorite granddaughter of the Jenkins family. Lord Valerian Nox was beyond saving!
What a pity!
Layla Woods shook her head.
She never expected that Niarak would have someone capable of killing Stellan Wallace.
If these events hadn’t happened, Layla Woods would have definitely gone to Jade Dragon Mountain to make friends with the person.
But now it seemed unnecessary.
Lord Valerian Nox wouldn’t live for more than three days. He was as good as dead.
News of Stellan Wallace’s death quickly spread. Such things couldn’t be concealed.
Both the Wallace family and the Watson family simultaneously issued statements-three days later, the head of the Jenkins family would challenge Lord Valerian Nox at Jade Dragon Mountain.
Zion Watson, Lysander King, would also personally attend.
This was equivalent to issuing a declaration of war.
Regardless of whether Lord Valerian Nox accepted or declined the challenge, he would die.
Jade Dragon Mountain was destined to be razed to the ground.
Various news began appearing online, and everyone eagerly anticipated the upcoming battle in three days.
It wasn’t just about anticipating the duel between the two. It was about witnessing the might of the Jenkins family’s head.
After all, everyone believed that this battle had no suspense-the Jenkins family would surely emerge victorious!
Peak of the Lesser Sovereign!
Almost a half-step to Greater Sovereign!
The business and cultivation worlds were both boiling with excitement.
Who wouldn’t want to witness the grace and power of someone at almost a half-step to Greater Sovereign? Normally, such an individual was like a living legend.
Even Pelens’ top aristocratic families had never seen anyone like that!
…
The Kaur family.
Madeline Kaur browsed through various news and couldn’t help but shake her head. “Flynn is shameless.”
She grabbed her phone and went to find Matteo Kaur. “Dad, everything’s fine. Nothing will happen to Flynn.”
“Don’t worry.”
Matteo Kaur sighed on the balcony and quickly took over the phone when his daughter handed it to him.
Paulina Johnston also walked over upon hearing their conversation.
“Lord Valerian Nox killed Stellan Wallace? Wasn’t it Flynn?” Matteo Kaur exclaimed in surprise.
Madeline Kaur pointed at a message. “Didn’t you see? Stellan Wallace destroyed Jade Dragon Mountain’s summit and angered its owner.”
“That owner might be Lord Valerian Nox.”
“What does this have to do with Flynn?”
Matteo Kaur furrowed his brows.
“Dad, what’s with that expression? Are you hoping that it was Flynn who killed Stellan Wallace?” Madeline Kaur said helplessly.
Matteo Kaur waved his hand dismissively. “I’m afraid Lord Valerian Nox is Flynn.”
Madeline Kaur sighed, “I called Dr. Woods and personally confirmed this.”
“Dr. Woods is currently at the Watson family. She said Lord Valerian Nox was someone else.”
“Flynn is just taking credit for Lord Valerian Nox’s achievements and boasting about it.”
Paulina Johnston recalled what happened in the afternoon and nodded. “Madeline was right.”
“When Flynn claimed he killed Stellan Wallace, I saw Kendal Roy wanted to say something but ended up holding back and leaving directly.”
“What does that mean? She probably wanted to expose Flynn’s lie but ultimately chose not to embarrass him!”
Matteo Kaur finally relaxed his furrowed brows. “That makes sense, but when did such a big shot come to Niarak?”
“He can actually kill a Great Grandmaster like Stellan Wallace.”
He also saw Kendal Roy’s expression when he left. Indeed, she seemed hesitant to speak up.
Madeline Kaur remained silent.
However, she had a faint feeling that this big shot had been in Niarak for a long time.
This feeling was strong, and she couldn’t explain why she felt this way. However, she didn’t want to dwell on it too much. After all, someone like that big shot was too far away from her. It was like comparing ants on the ground to stars in the sky-they could never interact with each other. Asking around wouldn’t do any good either because she and that big shot were not people from the same world.
“That’s great! Since Lysander King sought out Lord Valerian Nox, Flynn has nothing to do with it,” Matteo Kaur said excitedly before finding his phone and calling Flynn immediately. He needed to remind Flynn not to joke about Stellan Wallace’s death. Seeing her husband so excited, Paulina Johnston rolled her eyes and snorted as she left the study. Avoiding this disaster was useless. In the end, he would be killed by Lilia Hussain. If this troublemaker kept stirring up trouble, how long could he live? He’d end up ruining himself sooner or later!
“Tomorrow, the Sharp’s Group will compete against Dragon Gate Group for first place among Niarak’s pharmaceutical companies. Layla Woods will represent Dragon Gate Group while Flynn represents the Sharp’s Group, right?” Paulina Johnston asked.
Madeline Kaur nodded without understanding why her mother was asking this question. “Yes, why are you asking?”
“Nothing,” Paulina Johnston said with a gloomy face.
What else could she do by asking this question? She hoped Flynn would make a fool of himself! If Flynn succeeded, wouldn’t it prove that she was stupid? Flynn must not succeed! Otherwise, she would become Niarak’s laughingstock. However, she wasn’t too worried about tomorrow’s competition. Despite Flynn having some skills, he was definitely inferior compared to Layla Woods. This wasn’t just her opinion. Everyone in Niarak felt this way because Layla Woods had such a huge influence on them. They all regarded her as a goddess. Even if there were a few outstanding doctors who dared to stand out, everyone felt they weren’t as formidable as Layla Woods. Flynn was no exception. Even an exceptional mortal couldn’t slay gods.
…
Wakasa.
Inside an ancient temple.
A middle-aged man in black sat cross-legged on the floor with distinct facial features and closed eyes.
A curved sword hung from his waist, its scabbard adorned with golden patterns and its hilt embedded with numerous gemstones, giving off an exceptionally luxurious aura.
However, strangely enough, even though there were howling winds outside, everything inside this hundred-acre ancient temple seemed still and quiet as water.
At this moment, someone pushed open the temple door and hurriedly entered wearing wooden clogs.
Wearing a kimono with checkered patterns all over it, he quickly knelt five meters away from the middle-aged man.
“Mr. Sonego, a scout from Ostrad reported that Takada Kazuo has been killed. My boss would like to ask you to go to Ostrad and deal with someone.”
Upon hearing these words, Lorenzo Sonego suddenly opened his eyes. His gaze emitted an icy coldness.
At the same time outside, as if breaking through some barrier, strong winds rushed into the ancient temple.
In an instant, everything turned into darkness like doomsday.
The man kneeling before Lorenzo Sonego pressed his body down as low as possible in near prostration while waiting for his response.
With just his own power preventing any external forces from entering the ancient temple-this kind of power was terrifying.
“Name.” Lorenzo Sonego spoke.
“Flynn!”
