Chapter 293: Chapter 293 - Outsmarted
When Wallace Wills spotted me, his expression shifted dramatically!
He jumped to his feet and yelled, "Mason Raymond? What brings you here?"
I smirked coldly, "What do you think?"
Wallace Wills still hadn’t caught on. He raged, "You had the nerve to consume my Panax ginseng? You show such disrespect before Master Brynlee; you’re completely lawless!"
"It doesn’t matter, the ginseng was always intended for Mason Raymond anyway," Dimitri Brynlee said casually.
After saying this, he turned to me with concern, "Mason Raymond, are you ready after such brief recovery time?"
I laughed, "Master Brynlee, I feel fantastic right now."
Wallace Wills was dumbstruck.
Weren’t Mason Raymond and Dimitri Brynlee bitter enemies? How had they ended up working together?
While Wallace Wills was puzzling over this, a killing intent locked onto him!
Wallace Wills’s heart lurched, and worry flashed across his face!
"Wallace Wills, you’re really skilled at spinning lies," I said icily.
"At first, you tried to trick me out of my Nine Transformation Pill, but you failed because you couldn’t recognize its worth."
"Now you’re attempting to dump all the blame on me! How can you call yourself the King of Medicine?"
Wallace Wills’s face went rigid, his nerves on edge.
"The information about the Nine Transformation Pill must have been leaked by you, correct? Do you have ties with the Michelle Sect?" I narrowed my eyes and asked.
"You... quit spouting nonsense!" Wallace Wills shouted frantically.
"Me spouting nonsense?" My expression turned frigid, and suddenly I was standing right before Wallace Wills!
My large hand seized Wallace Wills’s throat, hoisting him into the air!
"You and I had no conflicts, yet you attempted to harm me! Now you want me dead!" I said coldly.
"Scum like you deserves to die."
I slowly tightened my grip, and Wallace Wills struggled to breathe!
Given Wallace Wills’s abilities, he was no match for me!
"Let it go, Mason Raymond. Wallace Wills is still a King of Medicine. Grant him another opportunity," Dimitri Brynlee said calmly.
I glanced at Dimitri Brynlee and loosened my grip.
Wallace Wills collapsed to the floor, gulping fresh air desperately.
The sensation of nearly dying left him both enraged and terrified.
"Since Master Brynlee speaks for you, I’ll give you one last chance," I sneered.
"Within three days, bring me ten medicinal herbs over 500 years old, and I’ll let you live," I said casually.
The moment these words left my mouth, everyone present was stunned!
Even Dimitri Brynlee’s eyes went wide!
Ten 500-year herbs? It was like demanding the impossible!
"Mason Raymond, you’re being unreasonable! Where would I find ten herbs for you!" Wallace Wills said furiously.
I sneered, "That’s not my problem. You figure it out."
"Aren’t you being too greedy? Do you think 500-year herbs grow like weeds on the roadside?" Wallace Wills said bitterly.
I raised an eyebrow and smirked, "So, your life isn’t worth ten herbs?"
"You!" Wallace Wills was speechless.
He got up from the ground, turned, and walked away.
"Don’t forget, if I don’t see those herbs in three days, I’ll come looking for you," I said coldly.
Hearing this, Wallace Wills’s body tensed, and he left without turning back.
After Wallace Wills departed, Dimitri Brynlee couldn’t help saying, "Mason Raymond, ten herbs really is excessive."
"Excessive? I don’t think so," I chuckled.
Dimitri Brynlee said seriously, "Don’t forget Wallace Wills’s status; he’s the King of Medicine!"
"Throughout the years, he’s built countless relationships! And ten herbs are enough to tempt anyone!"
I stroked my chin and said, "That’s somewhat troublesome."
Naturally, I said this, but deep inside, I wasn’t worried.
Now that I had mastered Shrinking Ground Into An Inch, even if I couldn’t win, the worst that could happen was I’d escape.
Later, I consumed the 500-year-old Panax ginseng.
After eating the herb, I could sense a breakthrough was near, but I just couldn’t take that final step.
"How odd," I shook my head in frustration.
I attempted to absorb the qi from heaven and earth but still couldn’t break through.
The next day.
Before Dimitri Brynlee and I could wake up, a thunderous roar came from outside like an earth-shaking blast!
"Mason Raymond, come out and meet your death!" The sound echoed from every direction, making the house vibrate!
This shout, powered by Inner Strength, nearly reached across half the city!
In an instant, everyone was drawn by this roar!
"Mason Raymond, come out and face death!" Another bellow!
Three consecutive roars attracted a massive crowd!
"It’s Patrick Ivory! Master Brynlee’s personal disciple!"
"What’s happening?"
"Mason Raymond? The Chuzzle king who killed Hobs Brynlee recently?"
For a moment, the spectators were confused.
Isn’t Patrick Ivory Dimitri Brynlee’s student? Isn’t Mason Raymond Dimitri Brynlee’s enemy?
How had the roles suddenly reversed?
"Mason Raymond, come out and meet your death!" Patrick Ivory roared once more!
Under this roar, the entire house started crumbling!
"Enough, stop screaming like a banshee, aren’t you exhausted?" At this moment, Victor Green grumbled and stepped outside.
Patrick Ivory looked at Victor Green and sneered, "Is it you, this little pest? What, Mason Raymond doesn’t dare show himself, so he sent you to die instead?"
"Who said I don’t dare come out?" At this time, I walked out of the Brynlee Mansion.
I appeared composed, as if not taking Patrick Ivory seriously at all.
"It’s really the King of Chuzzle! How can he be in Master Brynlee’ mansion?" Someone recognized me and couldn’t help showing a surprised expression.
Patrick Ivory’s mouth curved into a sneer, and he seized the moment to shout, "Mason Raymond murdered my Senior Brother Hobs Brynlee! But my master fears Mason Raymond and refuses to avenge my brother!"
"Dimitri Brynlee can tolerate it, but I, Patrick Ivory, cannot!"
"But because of this, my master kicked me out of the sect!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked!
Could it be that Dimitri Brynlee truly backed down? Even expelled the passionate Patrick Ivory?
Not far away, Dimitri Brynlee’s face was dark and shaking with fury!
"Patrick Ivory, you vile creature!" Dimitri Brynlee couldn’t help but clench his teeth.
Patrick Ivory immediately put on a pitiful expression and said, "Master, after all these years, I won’t harm you."
"But no matter how much you despise me, I will kill Mason Raymond to avenge my brother!"
These words immediately sparked a round of cheers!
"To avenge his brother, Patrick Ivory isn’t wrong!"
"On the contrary, it’s Dimitri Brynlee who does nothing when his own student gets killed. He really doesn’t deserve the title of ’Master’!"
"Tsk, I support Patrick Ivory!"
Dimitri Brynlee was so furious that his vision darkened and his body shook.
If it weren’t for Mason Raymond’s support, he might have collapsed to the ground!
"Patrick Ivory, you really are a beast," I said coldly.
Patrick Ivory sneered, "You’re the beast!"
I stared coldly at Patrick Ivory and said, "You betrayed Master Brynlee, slaughtered everyone in the Brynlee Family, and even threatened to eliminate Dimitri Brynlee to take his position!"
"And now you’re causing chaos and twisting the truth!"
"Everyone here has eyes, do you think they’ll be fooled by your few words? Don’t they know what kind of person Master Brynlee is?"
My words were extremely clever, not only exposing the truth but also swaying the onlookers.
"That’s right, we can’t just take Patrick Ivory’s word for it."
"We all know what kind of person Dimitri Brynlee is. He’s definitely not the type Patrick Ivory described!"
"But why did Dimitri Brynlee team up with Mason Raymond? It’s really puzzling."
Patrick Ivory’s face was ugly, as he hadn’t expected me to shift public opinion with just a few words!
"Truth or lies, everyone here has eyes," Patrick Ivory copied my words.
"You all witnessed it, Dimitri Brynlee and Mason Raymond are standing together, this is reality!"
I sneered, "Patrick Ivory, it seems you’re destined to be someone’s lackey. Even when speaking, you have to copy others? You really can’t even keep up with eating crap."
"I can squeeze some out for him to eat right now," Victor Green muttered quietly.
Patrick Ivory’s face turned purple with rage, nearly losing his mind!
"Complete nonsense! Mason Raymond, this is all lies!" Patrick Ivory’s defense seemed weak and feeble.
I sneered, "You might not know, but there were security cameras in Dimitri Brynlee’ mansion. The scene of you committing murder was recorded."
"You’re lying! I destroyed the surveillance beforehand!" Patrick Ivory said hastily.
I simply shrugged and said nothing more, just wore a mocking expression.
Patrick Ivory’s face changed drastically!
He had been played by me!
