Chapter 184: Chapter 184 - Accepting Darkness
Never would I have thought that there would be unexpected gains.
It’s false to say I’m not excited.
At this moment, I’m no longer troubled by the dark energy.
After experiencing this period of time, I slowly realized that the resources of the major families were far beyond what I, a mere ordinary person, could compare with.
Therefore, for ordinary people to compete with the children of aristocratic families, they could only resort to unscrupulous means.
So what if it’s dark energy? As long as it can enhance my strength, I should not refuse it.
Afterwards, I walked in the direction of Mateo Ward.
I checked Mateo’s breath and found that he was still alive, albeit with a very weak breath.
I helplessly shook my head and could only infuse a trace of my qi into Mateo, temporarily saving his life.
Carrying Mateo, I returned to the car.
At this time, Jack Schultz saw Mateo and couldn’t help shivering all over, unconsciously moving away to one side.
"Mason, what happened to Mateo?" Jack asked with trembling lips.
I waved my hand and said, "The Mateo just now wasn’t him."
"What about now?" Jack asked subconsciously.
I smiled and said, "Now, this is your good friend Master Ward. Remember to take him to the hospital."
Jack had never encountered such things, so he was still confused.
"I’ll take you home." I didn’t explain more, and immediately drove to Jack’s house.
After dropping Jack off, I took Blair Blake home.
"Mr. Raymond, I can go back myself," Blair said politely.
I shook my head and said, "No need, I just have something to ask you."
Blair hurriedly asked, "Mr. Raymond, please feel free to ask me anything."
After experiencing these events, Blair deeply admired me and had almost become my fanboy.
I said solemnly, "Do you know what a Chaotic Body is?"
"Chaotic Body?" Blair was taken aback, then shook his head and said, "I’m sorry, Mr. Raymond, I have never heard of this term."
I fell silent.
It seemed that this so-called Chaotic Body was something that ordinary martial artists couldn’t come into contact with.
"I’ll have to visit the southwest at some point to find out," I said softly to myself.
The car soon arrived at the entrance of Blair’s house.
As soon as we reached the door, I saw a middle-aged man standing at the entrance.
This middle-aged man was none other than Blair’s father, Sawyer Blake.
"Dad, what are you doing here?" Blair said with surprise after getting out of the car.
Sawyer, however, said with a dark face, "Come here!"
His attitude made Blair freeze for a moment.
"Dad, what’s wrong?" Blair asked, bewildered.
Sawyer didn’t say a word.
He walked straight up to me and said coldly, "Are you Mason Raymond?"
I politely said, "I’ve heard a lot about you, Uncle Sawyer."
Sawyer quickly waved his hand and said, "Don’t call me uncle, my Blake family can’t afford to offend you!"
"Dad, what are you talking about!" Blair was instantly anxious.
"Shut up!" Sawyer immediately yelled.
I frowned slightly, as if I had guessed something.
As expected, the next second Sawyer walked up to me.
"Young and frivolous, causing trouble, arrogant and overbearing, not knowing the immensity of the world!" Sawyer chastised.
"Do you have any idea what hierarchy means?" Sawyer said with a cold face.
When I heard the word "hierarchy," my face gradually turned cold.
"Uncle Sawyer, are you preaching to me?" I asked coldly.
"Mr. Raymond, my dad didn’t mean that!" Blair hurriedly tried to smooth things over.
However, Sawyer was unmoved and said coldly, "I want to tell you one thing. In this era, individual ability is not the main factor. I have seen many geniuses, and their ultimate fate is to work for the big families."
"Being too arrogant is not a good thing!"
I narrowed my eyes and said, "Uncle Sawyer, it’s because of this kind of thinking that those big families can run amok."
"I’m not like you. In my eyes, in the face of injustice, anyone should have the right and courage to question and resist."
"I don’t want to be a slave for a lifetime."
After hearing my words, Sawyer sneered repeatedly.
"With ideas like yours, there’s only one ultimate outcome."
"That is, dying halfway."
I wanted to say something more, but Sawyer waved his hand to stop me, "Mason Raymond, please stop associating with Blair from now on."
"Dad, what are you talking about!" Blair was immediately anxious.
I laughed and nodded, "Alright, I understand."
After uttering these words, I turned and left.
Soon, Blair called.
He kept apologizing on the phone, "Mr. Raymond, I’m so sorry. My dad didn’t mean it. You..."
"No need to explain, I won’t take it to heart," I interrupted Blair’s words.
"Your dad is just looking out for you. Just stay at home for a few days."
Having said that, I hung up the phone.
I wasn’t surprised by Sawyer’s attitude.
At that age and status, every step was like walking on thin ice.
Any carelessness could lead to doom.
So I could understand completely.
Only when a person has no shackles can they be fearless.
Just like me now.
The car sped all the way back to the hotel.
Looking at the flattened front of the car, I couldn’t help muttering, "Dammit, major repairs needed, wasting my money, I must find that bastard and get payback at some opportunity."
——
The next day.
The news of Mason’s gambling at the casino quickly spread around.
For a time, Shiglance City was full of rumors.
"Mason Raymond seriously injured the young master of the Schroeder family and got away with it?"
"Yeah, I heard he went gambling last night!"
"Is the Schroeder family just acting cowardly?"
"Cut, the Schroeder family hasn’t made any moves in recent years. In my opinion, they are not as godlike as they are in the rumors."
Everyone was puzzled.
Why didn’t the Schroeder family make any moves?
At this moment, in the Schroeder family living room.
In front of Uncle Armando, there were dozens of martial artists.
Among these people, eight were Grandmasters, making them top-notch figures in Chuzzle.
After Tristin Schroeder was beaten into a vegetative state, the Schroeder family was temporarily managed by Steward Uncle Armando.
"Uncle Armando, rumors are spreading outside that our Schroeder family is cowering!"
"That Mason Raymond not only didn’t run away but is flaunting his status. If this goes on, our Schroeder family’s position won’t be secure!"
"Uncle Armando, let us take revenge for the young master!"
Everyone shouted in unison, furious.
However, Uncle Armando remained unmoved, merely sitting there drinking his tea.
"Uncle Armando, say something!"
"Uncle Armando, are you trying to hide and take over the Schroeder family? Are you trying to claim the Schroeder family for yourself?" Suddenly, someone blurted out.
Hearing these words, Uncle Armando’s face instantly turned cold.
The teacup in his hand was immediately crushed!
