Chapter 108: Chapter 108 - Broken Knees
"A nobody?" Marco Lyons’ face twisted with fury at my words.
"If it weren’t for Miss Sean, you would be the nobody!" he spat back, visibly annoyed.
I looked at Marco Lyons and laughed. "You... must be Nola O’Connor’s lapdog, right? I remember she likes someone called Luka."
"You!" My comment clearly struck a nerve.
Just as I’d guessed, Marco was indeed Nola’s obedient servant.
"You’re shameless! I’ll teach you a lesson right now!" Marco waved his hand, and his lackeys immediately started approaching me.
Victor Green quickly stepped forward, ready to intervene, but I stopped him.
"Let me handle it," I said coldly.
With those words, I vanished from my spot with a swift movement and instantly appeared before Marco’s men.
Their faces froze with shock!
Before they could react, their bodies went flying through the air as they passed out instantly!
After dealing with them, I slowly walked toward Marco Lyons.
Marco’s face drained of color, clearly surprised by my abilities.
"What... what do you want to do!" he stammered fearfully.
I fixed him with an icy stare and said, "Nothing much, just breaking your legs."
With that, my foot lashed out quickly.
Two loud cracks echoed as Marco’s kneecaps shattered!
"Ahhh!!!" His agonized screams filled the entire villa.
I gave him a cold look and said, "Get lost, and tell those who want to deal with me that I’m right here waiting for them."
"Hold on, where is the owner of this villa?" Victor Green stopped Marco and questioned him.
Marco had completely lost his composure. Through gritted teeth, he replied, "The villa is now under my father’s management. I... I need to go back to him."
"Call him over," I demanded coldly.
A flicker of hidden anger crossed Marco’s face before he quickly nodded. "Okay, I’ll call him right now!"
He crawled to the side, phone in hand, and dialed a number while wincing in pain.
"Mr. Raymond, Marco’s father probably won’t let us go easily," Victor Green cautioned me.
I sat down on the sofa and replied indifferently, "No matter, let him come."
Just over ten minutes later, a middle-aged man hurried into the villa.
As expected, several bodyguards flanked him.
Just as Victor prepared to act, Marco’s father slapped his son across the face!
"All you know is causing trouble, how could I have given birth to such a waste!" he scolded furiously.
Then he rushed over to me, hands clasped in greeting. "Mr. Raymond, I’m really sorry for my poor discipline. I hope you can forgive me."
This caught me by surprise.
As the saying goes, one shouldn’t hit a smiling face. I flicked my finger, and a pill dropped into Marco’s palm.
"When you get back, rub this pill on your leg. There’s still hope for your leg," I said casually.
Hearing this, Marco’s father immediately brightened and quickly said, "Thank you, Mr. Raymond!"
"That’s enough, stop talking and I want to buy this villa." I pulled out the black card Jack Schultz had given me.
The moment he spotted the black card, Marco’s father’s expression shifted subtly.
He hastily waved his hand. "Mr. Raymond, you cured my son’s leg, so this villa is a gift to you!"
"A gift to me?" I felt increasingly confused.
Why would Marco’s father show such politeness when I had just broken his son’s leg?
"Mr. Raymond, it’s probably because of the black card in your hand," Victor Green whispered in my ear.
I suddenly understood, put away the black card, and nodded. "Well, thank you very much. I will remember your kindness."
"Thank you, Mr. Raymond!" Marco’s father bowed quickly. Then he turned to Marco Lyons and snapped, "Useless fool, crawl out of here yourself!"
The villa finally quieted down.
I took a deep breath, feeling the rich qi permeating the surroundings.
"What a great place," I muttered softly.
I then asked Victor Green to open the box we had brought.
Inside were three herbs, and a potent medicinal fragrance immediately filled the entire villa.
I inhaled deeply, feeling excitement build within me.
These three herbs would be enough to help me enter the Foundation Establishment Stage!
I couldn’t wait to experience the power of the Foundation Establishment Stage!
As the saying goes, a hundred days to establish a foundation, although I used a pill, it took me only a month. In this environment where qi was depleted, my speed was considered unprecedented.
"Victor, I’ll have to trouble you a lot these days," I said to Victor Green.
Victor quickly replied, "Mr. Raymond, you’re too kind."
Then, I wasted no time. I took out the herbs and prepared to refine Qi Gathering Pills.
The further along in cultivation, the more Qi Gathering Pills were needed.
Now, I probably needed at least two Qi Gathering Pills to advance just one level.
These three herbs could produce at least a dozen or so Qi Gathering Pills, I thought.
I took out the necessary tools and began refining the Qi Gathering Pills.
At this time, the Lewis Family of South City was already eager to make their move.
"Young Master, I have confirmed that Mabel Sean has returned to the Capital City," Bernard Colton’s secretary whispered in his ear.
Bernard took a deep breath, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.
"Even though she left River City, no one knows if she’ll help Mason Raymond using her power," Bernard Colton frowned.
"Shall we...ask for directions first?" the secretary suggested.
Bernard considered briefly and shook his head, "No, it’s best not to let the Taylors know about this."
The temptation of the Knotweed was simply too great for Bernard. Even knowing the risk, he wanted to try!
Bernard had witnessed Mason’s skills firsthand – impressive to ordinary people, but to Bernard Colton, hardly worth mentioning.
That was because Bernard Colton’s reputation in martial arts circles was substantial! He was known as the genius of South City!
In just three years, he had reached the realm of Inner Strength Masters!
His power even exceeded that of the elderly housekeeper!
"I’ll act according to the situation at that time," Bernard said coldly.
"Yes, Young Master," the secretary nodded immediately.
That day, the Colton Family prepared their car and headed toward River City.
Meanwhile, my pill refinement was nearly complete.
I stood close by, controlling the heat with my qi.
My experience from previous pill refinements had significantly improved my technique.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a loud explosion erupted in the room!
The entire furnace blew apart instantly!
A powerful medicinal fragrance rushed into our noses!
I quickly moved forward, looked down, and saw several pills lying quietly among the debris!
I carefully picked up the pills and counted them.
"Twenty-eight! Far more than I imagined!" I exclaimed with surprise.
