“Lord Valerian Nox? He went over there.” Kendal Roy pointed to the east side of the bamboo forest.
What expression would Layla Woods have when she found out that Flynn was Lord Valerian Nox?
She would probably faint out of shock.
Layla Woods would never have thought that the person she looked down upon as useless was actually a super powerful figure!
“Where did he go?” Layla Woods gasped as she saw the mess on the mountaintop.
“Did you see how Lord Valerian Nox defeated Jack Jenkins just now? Can you describe it?”
What a shame she missed that great battle.
A Greater Sovereign confronting a Semi-Greater Sovereign-it was like a battle between immortals.
It was unlikely to see such a battle again.
Kendal Roy said with awe, “Lord Valerian Nox resolved it with just a slap.”
“With just a slap?!” Layla Woods was shocked.
Her eyes were filled with waves of astonishment.
She had assumed that Lord Valerian Nox completely overwhelmed his opponent, but she never expected him to finish Jack Jenkins off with just one slap.
It was an instant kill!
It was not her fault for being slow. Lord Valerian Nox was just too fast!
He was too powerful!
What an unparalleled strength!
And with a bad temper, he went on a killing spree.
He even killed Xavier Caldwell.
But it was not surprising.
Jade Dragon Mountain was Lord Valerian Nox’s territory. Zion Watson and his group had made a mess of this place, so it was no wonder this demon god would be angry!
Lord Valerian Nox was probably on the same level as Yves Yancey! Or maybe slightly lower, but definitely not by much!
Oh my goodness!
Layla Woods had thought she could make friends with this big shot, but it seemed she fell short!
A figure like Lord Valerian Nox was beyond the reach of someone like Layla Woods.
She had indeed healed many strong martial artists, but the highest level she had encountered was a Lesser Sovereign.
Anyone above Greater Sovereign sought guidance from her master, Green Liniment Ghost Doctor, not her.
If she wanted to be friends with Lord Valerian Nox, she certainly didn’t meet the criteria. He might not even spare her a glance, much less consider befriending someone like her. Associating with her could very well be seen as an insult to his status.
Layla Woods had no choice but to settle for a different approach-she would seek him as a mentor instead.
She knew she had to approach Lord Valerian Nox with genuine sincerity if she wanted to become his disciple.
However, with Jade Dragon Mountain in such a state of ruin, Lord Valerian Nox’s mood must be quite bad.
“Was Lord Valerian Nox angry just now?” Layla Woods became quite gossipy.
Her eyes were filled with admiration like that of a huge fan of Lord Valerian Nox.
Who wouldn’t like such a powerful martial artist?
Who wouldn’t respect him?
Kendal Roy and the others nodded in agreement.
When Flynn got angry, he became completely different from his usual self. He became a killing machine.
Xavier Caldwell didn’t need to die. Flynn could have just given him a couple of slaps, but he killed him in the end…
“Why aren’t you leaving yet?” Layla Woods was puzzled.
Kendal Roy awkwardly smiled and said, “We want to wait for Lord Valerian Nox to return and thank him.”
Layla Woods instantly understood and smiled.
Zion Watson bringing Kendal Roy and the others to Jade Dragon Mountain was clearly intended to make an example of them after dealing with Lord Valerian Nox, wasn’t it?
After all, they were involved in Stellan Wallace’s death as well.
Lord Valerian Nox killed Jack Jenkins and indirectly saved them!
Wait a minute.
Was Flynn involved too?
Why wasn’t he with them?
He must know Zion Watson was coming after him, so he hid in fear!
Could he even be considered a man?
Coward!
Not even comparable to these women!
He should come and see what a real man looked like and learn from Lord Valerian Nox!
To see what it meant to become a legendary figure in one battle!
Today was a disaster to him, but also an opportunity!
After all, for someone like Flynn, a Grandmaster, meeting Lord Valerian Nox was an honor for a lifetime.
Unfortunately, he missed it!
“Oh well, I won’t disturb you then. Please help me convey a message to Lord Valerian Nox-I hope I have the honor of becoming his disciple.” With that, Layla Woods turned and headed down the mountain.
Her words were very polite.
More so than ever before.
Because in Lord Valerian Nox’s territory, she couldn’t afford any arrogance.
Just like how an official in the imperial palace wouldn’t dare to make noise in front of the emperor. She must maintain reverence!
She couldn’t leave a bad impression.
In fact, she struggled with the idea of seeking an apprenticeship.
She was afraid of rejection!
But even if she were rejected, what would happen? Being rejected by someone like him wouldn’t be embarrassing.
She had made up her mind. In two days, she would seek an apprenticeship with the utmost sincerity.
She would kneel at the entrance of the mountaintop and show her determination!
Lord Valerian Nox probably wouldn’t reject an outstanding disciple like her, right? After all, she was talented. It took less than a month for her to advance from a Grandmaster to a Great Grandmaster.
As Layla Woods disappeared at the entrance of the mountaintop, Kendal Roy and the others exchanged glances with each other.
To become Flynn’s disciple?
Didn’t she look down on him before?
Now she acted like a huge fan with admiration and anticipation in her eyes.
What a joke!
What was she thinking?
Luckily, she didn’t go deep into the bamboo forest. Otherwise, she’d jump off the cliff out of embarrassment.
Everyone present looked forward to seeing that scene on the day Layla Woods sought an apprenticeship from Flynn!
To see her pride shatter and her face turn red with embarrassment would be quite a spectacle.
Flynn carefully examined the gathering of spiritual energy.
There wasn’t much problem. However, there was some impact from earlier. After all, his energy was too strong just now.
Even though he tried to control it, the gathering of spiritual energy was still slightly affected by the shockwaves.
Jack Jenkins really deserved to die!
Flynn decided not to bring any war to Jade Dragon Mountain again.
Kendal Roy and the others cautiously approached deep into the bamboo forest, only to find Flynn digging holes as if nothing had happened earlier.
It was as if nothing had happened even after he killed people.
“Flynn… no, Lord Valerian Nox, thank you for saving us,” Athena Ross expressed gratitude on behalf of her six junior sisters.
Flynn paused digging holes and said, “Thank me for what?”
The group was stunned for a moment before saying in unison, “You killed Jack Jenkins and indirectly saved us.”
“Zion Watson said he wanted us to chop off one finger as punishment.”
Flynn replied, “Oh.” Then he didn’t say anything further.
He continued digging holes.
“Um… Lord Valerian Nox, Layla Woods came up just now. She wants to become your disciple,” Kendal Roy said.
“Disciple?!” Flynn chuckled, “That woman must be crazy.”
“Tell her to stay far away.”
“Okay, I will convey your message,” Kendal Roy agreed respectfully.
She smiled bitterly. She knew Layla Woods’ personality very well. She was the type who wouldn’t give up until she achieved her goal. Besides, she was a martial arts fanatic. She would only be convinced if Lord Valerian Nox rejected her in person.
And it wasn’t just Layla Woods-Kendal Roy and the others were no different. After offending Flynn, didn’t they go out of their way to curry favor?
No one wanted to miss the chance to connect with someone of great influence!
So what if he was a womanizer?
Which emperor didn’t have a harem?
Someone as formidable as Lord Valerian Nox couldn’t possibly have just one woman by his side, right?
When people became powerful enough, their flaws were flattered and turned into virtues through flattery.
Just like Ostrad’s richest son who changed girlfriends every month. No one called him scum but instead had the utmost respect for him.
“Tomorrow, I’ll come up here to forge a sword. You will help me with that,” Flynn told Molly George before turning around and going down the mountain.
What? Molly George almost spat blood in anger. Did he take her as his maid?
Although she felt annoyed on her face, she was actually quite happy inside. What was wrong with her?
“Flynn, I want to come too,” Harriet Hamilton volunteered herself.
“Sure!” Flynn nodded and looked at Molly George, saying, “See? How sensible Harriet is.”
“I didn’t say anything!” Molly retorted, feeling wronged.
“You didn’t say anything, but your expression gave you away! I shouldn’t have let you be my disciple, you ungrateful girl!” Flynn walked down the mountain while teasing Molly.
Kendal Roy envied Molly so much. How could she have imagined that the girl she had always viewed with hostility would be blessed with such an extraordinary opportunity?
In less than two years, Molly’s martial arts achievements would far surpass hers.
The group arrived at the foot of the mountain where Scarlet Wong had already awakened from her joyous fainting spell and bit down hard on Flynn’s arm.
“You bastard! You scared me!”
Flynn sighed, “I told you I’d be fine! Who do you blame for overthinking?”
Madeline Kaur couldn’t help but snort inwardly.
It must be said that Flynn was lucky. He gambled on Lord Valerian Nox winning.
And he turned out to be right.
Even though Madeline Kaur knew that there was as much difference between Flynn and Lord Valerian Nox as there was between sand on the ground and the midday sun, she couldn’t help but feel curious about what kind of person Lord Valerian Nox really was.
She approached Harriet Hamilton and asked, “Miss Hamilton, did you see Lord Valerian Nox’s true appearance? Is he an old man or is he young like Yves Yancey?”
