Chapter 117: Chapter 117 - Raising Stakes
Both of them continued to sneer, not taking me seriously at all.
I nodded and said, "I did give you a chance. If you want to seek revenge for Xavier Hill, I’ll be waiting for you at any time."
Having said that, I turned around to leave.
"Stop!" At that moment, Blair Blake shouted loudly.
He looked coldly at me and said, "You came to provoke me and now you want to leave just like that?"
I laughed, "Then what do you want to do?"
Blair Blake snorted coldly and said, "Hiding behind women and acting like a hero! I want to know how capable you actually are!"
As soon as the words fell, I felt a strong aura forcing itself towards me!
For an instant, it felt as if there were two massive mountains pressing down on my shoulders!
Blair Blake looked at me and sneered continuously. His aura grew more powerful, attempting to bring me down a peg.
I stood before him, slightly frowning.
At that moment, my body suddenly trembled slightly, and a terrifying force immediately pressed towards Blair Blake!
"Bang!"
Blair Blake immediately retreated several steps, almost falling to the ground!
This couldn’t help but surprise Blair Blake. All his aura was actually easily dissolved by me!
"What’s wrong?" Bernard Colton furrowed his brows and asked.
Blair Blake’s face became a bit serious, but he didn’t say anything.
"If you want to cause trouble, I’ll be waiting." I looked at Blair Blake and said coldly.
After dropping this sentence, I turned around and left.
Victor Green, who was at my side, watched with his heart pounding.
Following behind me, cold sweat was dripping from Victor Green’s forehead.
It wasn’t until we had walked far away that Victor Green wiped off the sweat and said, "Mr. Raymond, Bernard Colton was already hard enough to deal with, but why did you provoke Blair Blake..."
I stopped in my tracks.
I turned around to look at Victor Green and shook my head, "I don’t know why, but when I face these two people, I always feel like they’re insignificant."
It was a strange feeling. As Inner Strength Masters, they should be more powerful than me.
But when I stood in front of these two people, I felt as if I could easily crush them.
Not far away, Blair Blake’s face was extremely ugly.
He suddenly had an uneasy premonition in his heart.
"Blair, what’s wrong?" Bernard Colton asked suspiciously.
Blair Blake took a deep breath, stared at Bernard Colton, and said with a serious face, "Younger Lord of Colton Family, be careful later; this Mason Raymond might not be as simple as he appears."
Bernard Colton was stunned, and then burst into laughter.
"Blair, don’t joke around. He’s just a Ninth-rank Inner Strength. There’s a world of difference between him and us! Killing him would be a breeze!" Bernard Colton didn’t take Blair Blake’s words seriously at all.
Blair Blake wanted to say something, but Bernard Colton waved his hand to interrupt him.
"Blair, just wait and see how I avenge you," Bernard Colton sneered.
Seeing the situation, Blair Blake didn’t say anything more.
"Maybe it was just an illusion." Blair Blake silently comforted himself in his heart.
As time flew by, Bernard Colton didn’t even consider me as an opponent, so he sat there eating, drinking, and having fun.
I, on the other hand, didn’t pay any attention to Bernard Colton either. All my thoughts were focused on the Water Dragon Cave.
In this short period, I wandered around the Water Dragon Cave several times.
"The competition is about to start; what are you doing just walking around in circles?" Violet Damon couldn’t help but grumble.
I didn’t respond, my eyes still fixed on the Water Dragon Cave.
"Whose property is this Water Dragon Cave?" I asked with a frown.
Violet Damon was taken aback and muttered, "How would I know? Besides, we’re at a life-or-death situation now, and you’re still wondering about this? We better think of a strategy fast."
"It seems to be owned by the Colton Family," Valerie Stanley suddenly whispered.
"The Colton Family’s?" I looked at Valerie Stanley and continued, "Are you sure?"
Valerie Stanley thought for a moment while holding her chin, then clapped her hands and said, "Yes, it’s the Colton Family’s property! I’ve seen it on the news before!"
Upon hearing this, I slightly squinted my eyes.
I looked at Water Dragon Cave and murmured softly, "We have to find a way to deceive them and take possession of the Water Dragon Cave."
"Time’s up!"
At this moment, Bernard Colton suddenly shouted from a distance!
As he shouted, the scene quieted down.
The gazes of almost everyone gathered on Bernard Colton.
"Mason Raymond, it’s time for you to meet your doom," Bernard Colton grinned.
I didn’t say anything and walked straight towards Bernard Colton.
"Mr. Raymond, be careful!" Victor Green exclaimed with a worried expression.
The two of us quickly arrived at the center of Water Dragon Cave, and for an instant, a strong light shone upon us.
Bernard Colton looked down arrogantly and coldly said, "Kid, you still have time to regret."
But I just smirked, "It’s you who doesn’t have time for regrets."
Bernard Colton narrowed his eyes slightly and sneered, "In all my life, you’re the most arrogant person I’ve ever met!"
"Younger Lord of Colton Family, finish it quickly, there’s still a victory banquet prepared for you!" Someone yelled from the stands.
Bernard Colton glanced in that direction, then sneered, "Mason Raymond, did you hear that? To save time, I’ve decided to finish this quickly!"
After saying this, Bernard Colton’s aura suddenly soared to its peak in an instant!
A terrifying burst of Inner Strength was bearing down on me!
"This is the prowess of an Inner Strength Master!" Bernard Colton looked at me smugly, as if he wanted to see fear and terror on my face.
However, my expression remained calm. Not only did I not react, but I even seemed to want to laugh.
"It seems my prediction was correct," I took a deep breath.
"Inner Strength and spiritual power... they are indeed not on the same level. The so-called Inner Strength Masters are pitifully weak," I muttered softly.
"I’ll let you make the first move," Bernard Colton gestured to me.
"Wait," I suddenly said at this moment.
Bernard Colton sneered, "What, scared?"
I shook my head and said, "No, I want to change our wager."
"Oh?" Bernard Colton seemed very interested.
I said, "If you win, I’ll give you a piece of Knotweed and another herb with a similar potency."
"Oh? Are you serious?" Bernard Colton’s eyes lit up instantly.
In his view, the Sean family was backing me, so they must have no shortage of herbs!
If he could get another piece, it would be a fortune for Bernard Colton!
"If I win, you kneel and apologize to Victor Green, give me a hundred-year Medicine King, and in addition, I want something else," I said solemnly.
Bernard Colton raised an eyebrow and said, "Just say it; I won’t lose anyway."
I pointed at Water Dragon Cave and said, "Give this place to me."
Bernard Colton frowned deeply, as Water Dragon Cave provided the Colton Family with quite an income every year. It wasn’t easy for him to just give it away.
But upon thinking about it, Bernard Colton couldn’t help but laugh.
"Alright," Bernard Colton nodded. In his view, he wouldn’t lose at all. I was simply giving away herbs to him.
