Chapter 172: Chapter 172 - Fearless Strike
Just as my palm was about to connect with Anton Schroeder’s face, someone grabbed my wrist. Turning my head, I saw Blair Blake gripping me tightly.
"Mr. Raymond, don’t do it," Blair shook his head at me.
"Mason, calm down," even Jasper Thompson advised.
This made me frown slightly. The attitude of these two clearly showed Anton’s extraordinary status.
"You want to hit me?" Anton squinted his eyes. "You fucking want to hit me? Do you know who I am?" he said coldly.
I ignored Anton and looked at Blair, saying, "What’s going on here?"
Blair pulled me and said, "Anyway, I’ll replenish the herbs for you, just don’t ask anymore, okay?"
"No." I broke free from Blair’s restraint.
I turned to Elder Drake and said, "Elder Drake, tell me the truth about what happened."
Elder Drake seemed very conflicted, wanting to speak but feeling that it wasn’t appropriate.
I took a deep breath and said, "I, Mason Raymond, can handle all the consequences."
At that moment, Anton laughed loudly and said, "You want to know? Fine, let me tell you!"
"I liked your Curing Pill, so I forcibly exchanged it with an ordinary Panax ginseng C.A.Mey. What, is there a problem?" Anton said indifferently.
"So this is what happened." I suddenly understood.
I looked at Blair, then glanced at Elder Drake, and said solemnly, "Thank you for your kindness, but nothing can be hidden forever."
The situation had escalated far beyond Blair’s control.
"Alright, Mason, let it go," Jasper Thompson pulled my arm.
Anton on the side sneered, "Did you see? Everyone around you is trying to stop you because they know exactly what it means to offend my Schroeder Family."
I looked at Anton coldly and said, "What does it mean to offend you?"
Anton was taken aback and then frowned, "Are you provoking me?"
I ignored his words and repeated, "I’m asking you, what does it mean to offend you?"
Anton seemed enraged, his face cold, and he said, "To offend me is to offend the Schroeder Family, and to offend the Schroeder Family means you won’t be able to survive in Chuzzle!"
"Mason, forget it," Jasper shook his head.
Then he looked at Anton and said, "Anton, you should also say less."
But Anton was relentless, sneering, "Mason, let me tell you, the fact that I could take an ordinary Panax ginseng C.A.Mey is already giving you face. If you were sensible, you’d gracefully step down, understand?"
I laughed coldly.
I pushed Jasper’s hand away, looking coldly at Anton and said, "This contempt for everyone from your high-and-mighty attitude is really annoying."
"Heh, so what?" Anton raised an eyebrow.
I took a deep breath and said, "Give back the Curing Pill now, and I’ll let it go."
"Give back the Curing Pill?" Anton raised his eyebrows, then sneered, "I’ve eaten it already. How can I return it? Or should I shit it out for you?"
After saying that, Anton burst into laughter.
I suppressed my rage and said, "Then let your family send a hundred-year medicinal material here."
"Let my family?" Anton narrowed his eyes and then sneered, "It seems you really don’t know the Schroeder Family!"
"Kid, let me tell you clearly, I’m openly robbing you of the Curing Pill, and you have to bear it!" Anton yelled.
As he roared, the two bodyguards beside Anton immediately took a step forward.
At the same time, a strong aura burst out from their bodies!
"Inner Strength Greatmasters!" Blair’s face changed slightly.
Anton spoke coldly, "You’ve already angered me, so now you’d better disappear from my sight immediately."
"What if I don’t?" I asked coldly.
Anton narrowed his eyes and said, "Then I’ll cripple you."
The two bodyguards stepped forward again, their terrifying aura pressing directly towards me!
I was unmoved, coldly saying, "With just these two useless guys?"
As soon as my words fell, I swung my arm, and the terrifying force directly blasted the two bodyguards away!
The surrounding people couldn’t help but exclaim in astonishment, even Blair and Jasper were shocked!
Defeating two Inner Strength Greatmasters with one palm, what kind of strength was this?
Anton raised an eyebrow, "You dare hit my people?"
"I not only hit your people, but I also want to hit you." I spoke coldly.
As I spoke, I took a step towards Anton.
But Anton was not afraid at all and was instead indifferent.
"Don’t scare me. No one in Chuzzle dares to touch me," Anton said calmly.
"Really?" I narrowed my eyes, clearly ready to take action!
At that moment, Blair quickly grabbed my arm.
He desperately shook his head and said, "Mr. Raymond, calm down! You can’t afford to offend this Anton!"
"Mason, you’re not from Shiglance City, you don’t know the power of the Schroeder Family," even Jasper spoke solemnly.
"Not only does the Schroeder Family have many top experts, but their connections are also extremely powerful."
"If you hit him, no one will be able to save you!" Jasper spoke solemnly.
"Yeah, hold back for a while and let it go, a gentleman’s revenge is not too late for ten years!" Blair bitterly advised.
My aura suddenly weakened.
I stood there silently, lost in thought.
"Kid, you heard it, didn’t you? You said you wanted to hit me, but now you’re chickening out?" Anton sneered incessantly.
In Chuzzle, he had been accustomed to being domineering, and over the years, no one had ever challenged the authority of their Schroeder Family.
That’s why, no matter who Anton faced, he would never show fear.
My aura had completely receded, and Blair and Jasper both let out a sigh of relief.
Just as the two thought the situation had calmed down, I suddenly slapped Anton’s face hard!
This slap sent Anton flying! No one knew how many tables were smashed before he finally stopped!
I looked at Anton coldly and said, "So, the Schroeder Family is that powerful, huh? Unfortunately, being a bully is not part of my character."
"Mason, you!" Jasper and Blair’s faces turned extremely ugly!
And the surrounding people were even more ashen!
Someone dared to hit the Schroeder Family in Chuzzle? Was he crazy?
As everyone was astonished, I walked towards Anton.
I picked Anton up like a small chicken and strode towards the door.
When I reached Jasper, I paused and smiled, "Jasper, please pass a message to the Schroeder Family, ask them to bring a hundred-year medicinal material to exchange for their person."
