Chapter 116: Chapter 116 - Audacious Provocation
Bernard Colton approached the crowd, walking right past Sebastian Schroeder who had stepped forward to greet him. He came straight to me.
"Mason Raymond, you really dared to come," Bernard Colton said coldly.
I responded with a faint smile. "I’m still waiting for you to apologize to my friend."
"Hahahaha!" Bernard Colton burst out laughing.
"I admire your courage to face death," he sneered.
"I don’t want to argue with you," I said coldly.
Bernard Colton nodded, leaned toward my ear, and whispered: "For a small fry like you, making such a big scene, you should feel honored."
After saying that, Bernard Colton patted my shoulder and walked into the Water Dragon Cave.
Violet Damon, Sebastian Schroeder and the others stood puzzled.
Was I really the same person who challenged Bernard Colton?
"How is this possible..." Violet swallowed her saliva, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Wasn’t I just a good-for-nothing who could only cook and do laundry? How had I suddenly become someone who dared to challenge Bernard Colton?
Not far away, Sebastian’s face turned red with embarrassment, looking like he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
"Violet, your brother-in-law is amazing!" Valerie Stanley excitedly said with bright eyes.
Violet couldn’t help but be shocked and couldn’t snap out of it.
"Right, Bernard Colton, those are my friends. Let them come in too," I suddenly shouted as I walked to the entrance of the Water Dragon Cave.
Bernard Colton looked back and waved his hand. "Do as you please, as long as you’re not afraid of losing face in front of your friends."
I turned my head towards Violet and said, "Come in."
Valerie Stanley excitedly shouted, "Violet, did you hear that? Your brother-in-law is letting us in!"
After saying that, Valerie pulled Violet and walked into the Water Dragon Cave.
"Oh, right, except for you," I pointed at Sebastian Schroeder.
Sebastian’s face changed, and I could almost hear him cursing in his heart: "Pretentious bastard, I want to see how the Younger Lord of Colton Family will screw you over!"
The crowd then walked into the Water Dragon Cave, and the isolation line was set up once again.
At this point, there was still about an hour left before the official start of the match, so neither Bernard Colton nor I were in a hurry.
"Mason, when did you become someone with a well-connected background in the Capital City?" Violet couldn’t help but ask.
I glanced at her and replied, "That’s all Sebastian’s nonsense."
"Big shots sure are low-key!" But at this moment, both Violet and Valerie believed I had connections, and they wouldn’t believe anything I said.
I was too lazy to explain, and instead squatted down near the hot spring of the Water Dragon Cave.
I scooped up a handful of water from the hot spring and drank it, then exclaimed in surprise, "Just as I guessed!"
The water in this hot spring was filled with qi, although not very dense, but enough to prove my thoughts!
"This is probably why the Water Dragon Cave is famous," I stood up, my heart secretly feeling a bit excited.
The number of people at the scene started to increase, and Victor Green kept looking around.
Most of the well-known people in South City were invited inside, and in addition, some families and experts from the Chuzzle martial arts world were also invited.
"I didn’t expect him to come as well," Victor said, looking at a young man at the entrance.
I looked over and casually asked, "Who is he?"
Victor quickly replied, "Blair Blake from the Shiglance City Blake family, known as one of the top three young people in the Shiglance City martial arts world and a good friend of Xavier Hill."
I observed Blair, and muttered while stroking my chin, "Top three? How does he compare to Bernard Colton?"
"I don’t know, but I think Blair should have an edge," Victor said.
I nodded, saying no more. Apart from these people, there were also celebrities from various fields in South City.
These included the big shots of the underworld, business tycoons, and big names in the literary and art circles.
Most of these people were standing next to Bernard Colton, eagerly chatting with him.
"Younger Lord of Colton Family, this kid is all yours now," Blair Blake sat next to Bernard Colton, laughing.
Bernard Colton replied with a smile, "Blair, consider it as my revenge on your behalf. Haha!"
"Thank you, Younger Lord of Colton Family," Blair said with a faint smile.
After he finished speaking, Blair’s eyes coldly turned towards me.
I quickly felt a murderous spirit approaching me!
My eyebrows frowned, and I immediately looked at Blair.
"Mr. Raymond, this Blair harbors hostility towards you; better be cautious," Victor too perceived the murderous aura sensitively.
However, I ignored Victor’s words and coldly stared at Blair.
The next second, I surprisingly took the initiative to walk towards Blair!
"Mr. Raymond!" Seeing this, Victor hurriedly followed.
Soon, I directly approached Blair.
My presence instantly attracted countless gazes.
All the celebrities present couldn’t help looking over.
"Is he Mason Raymond? He looks quite ordinary."
"I heard he’s the gigolo that the Princess of Sean Family is supporting."
"No wonder, with the Sean Family backing him, he indeed has the capital to be arrogant."
Blair carefully sized me up, then suddenly looked at Victor standing next to me.
"Aren’t you that lackey from Xavier Hill’s side? How come, you’ve already betrayed?" Blair said playfully.
Victor clenched his teeth and said, "Mr. Blake, you misunderstood, I..."
"No need to explain," Blair cut off Victor’s words.
"Anyway, no one cares where a dog goes," Blair said indifferently.
Victor’s face changed, and he couldn’t help but clench his fists.
He had been in the Hill family for many years and had never been treated as a person, which was true.
"Are you and Xavier Hill friends?" At this moment, I spoke up.
Blair looked at me coldly and said, "Knowing that, you still dared to come to me?"
I squinted my eyes and said, "Do you want to kill me?"
Blair was stunned; he didn’t expect me to ask such a question!
"Do you want to kill me?" I repeated.
Blair snorted coldly, "That’s right, it’s because of you that Xavier Hill died!"
"Oh," I nodded.
Then, I pointed to Bernard Colton next to him and said indifferently, "In that case, both of you can come at me together."
As soon as this statement was made, the whole audience was shocked!
I was a little too audacious!
Both of these men were top martial arts practitioners of Chuzzle Province! No one dares to talk like this!
Bernard Colton laughed even harder.
"Mason Raymond, I can sense that your strength has improved, but you’re still just a Ninth-rank Inner Strength practitioner," Bernard Colton said with a cold laugh.
"Just a mere Ninth-rank Inner Strength, so arrogant? Killing you is as simple as crushing an ant!" Blair also said coldly.
