Chapter 436: Chapter 436 The Price Of Entry
My words carried a hint of displeasure and even sadness.
Though I knew it was Zendaya Andrew’s right, an inexplicable resentment still stirred in my heart.
"It seems Mr. Raymond is jealous," Zendaya Andrew teased.
I spread my hands and said, "That’s your own right. After all, Walton Greer is the number one on the Potential Ranking list, and I’m not on the same level."
Zendaya couldn’t help but cover her mouth and giggle.
"Alright, I’ll stop teasing you. This invitation letter wasn’t given to Walton by me, but to me by Walton," Zendaya said.
"Walton has an extraordinary background, and behind him stands an all-powerful master. He knows the inner core even better than I do."
"He contacted me solely to ask for my help."
At this point, Zendaya said coquettishly, "In my heart, there is only Mr. Raymond."
I gave Zendaya a suspicious look, then suddenly seemed to remember something.
"Walton wants you... so there must be something he’s after on Brightheart Island?" My voice carried slight urgency.
Zendaya nodded, "You could say that. I’m not sure what exactly it is, but considering he found me, it’s most likely related to Demonic Beast Cores."
"Demonic Beast Cores..."
The term quickly flashed through my mind.
Countless messages about Demonic Beast Cores flooded my thoughts.
Apart from the core given by Zendaya, there were countless others containing the purest qi!
Their effect was equivalent to the Golden Core Stage among human cultivators!
Such a core was extremely rare and valuable, comparable to Ten-Thousand-Year Spiritual Medicine!
"Miss Andrew, is there any way for me to participate in this wealthy cruise?" I asked urgently.
Zendaya shook her head and said, "Mr. Raymond, I’m powerless to help you. To enter the wealthy cruise, you must have an invitation."
I fell silent for a while, and my eyes suddenly flashed with ruthless light!
"I will find a way to get into this wealthy cruise, even if I have to steal an invitation!" I said coldly.
For me, I didn’t have much time left.
I would never give up such an opportunity.
Even if it meant becoming a murderer who took the invitation by force!
"I believe you can figure something out." Zendaya giggled.
After saying that, Zendaya stood up and was about to leave.
"Wait." I called out to Zendaya.
I took out the Folding Fan from the Spatial Magic Artifact and handed it to her.
"This is a small gift for you," I said.
Taking the Folding Fan, a strange light flashed in Zendaya’s eyes.
"Is this... a magical artifact?" Zendaya asked in astonishment.
I spread my hands and replied, "I guess so, I don’t know."
Overjoyed, Zendaya bowed and said, "Thank you, Mr. Raymond."
After saying goodbye to Zendaya, I went straight to the vicinity of Brightheart Island.
There were rows of villas here, and the people who lived here were those who would attend the wealthy cruise tomorrow.
I lurked in the shadows, coldly watching the coming and going of the people.
"I’m sorry for the sake of advancing my cultivation as soon as possible," my eyes flashed with ruthlessness.
From start to end, I had never hurt innocent people, but this time, I might have no choice but to take action.
Time flowed by minute by minute, and soon it was midnight.
There were dozens of people attending the wealthy cruise, and for a while, I didn’t know who to target.
At that moment, I suddenly saw a familiar figure.
"Jerry Sean?" Seeing this figure, I was somewhat surprised.
I took a step forward and instantly arrived in front of Jerry Sean.
"Jerry Sean, how come you are here?" There was joy in my tone.
Jerry Sean was also surprised, "Mason? How did you end up in Sea City?"
I quickly told Jerry Sean what had happened.
Upon hearing this, Jerry Sean couldn’t help but stroke his beard and laugh, "You want to go to Brightheart Island?"
"Yes," I replied solemnly.
"This trip to Brightheart Island is vital for me, so I must go," I said, taking a deep breath.
Jerry Sean laughed heartily, "That’s easy, I’ll just give you my invitation, won’t I?"
Saying that, Jerry Sean took out the invitation letter and handed it to me.
I frowned, "This... might not be the best idea, right?"
Jerry Sean waved his hand, "What’s wrong with it? People like us go to Brightheart Island just for a sightseeing trip, it’s not that important."
I took the invitation but still felt somewhat guilty.
However, it had to be said that Jerry Sean did make a good point.
"Bang!"
At that moment, the villa door was suddenly kicked open.
Then, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, accompanied by several burly men, walked in.
Seeing the middle-aged man, a hint of displeasure flashed between Jerry Sean’s eyebrows.
"Joseph Nelson, what are you doing here?" Jerry Sean asked coldly.
The man called Joseph Nelson swaggered to the couch and casually lit a cigar, taking a deep puff.
"Kid, did you not understand what I said at the reception just now?" Joseph Nelson looked at Jerry Sean.
Jerry Sean’s eyebrows furrowed, and he said coldly, "Joseph Nelson, you’d better not cause trouble for yourself."
"Cause trouble for myself? Ha ha ha!" Joseph Nelson laughed loudly.
"This is Sea City! I can squish you to death with my bare hands!" Joseph Nelson glared coldly at Jerry Sean.
As he spoke, several martial artists beside him stepped forward, ready to take action.
Jerry Sean narrowed his eyes and asked, "Joseph Nelson, what exactly do you want?"
"What do I want?" Joseph Nelson snorted.
He leaned back with his hands clasped behind him and said indifferently, "Simple. You get on your knees and apologize to me, and I’ll let you have a livelihood in Sea City."
"Otherwise... I’ll make sure you die on Brightheart Island tomorrow!" Joseph Nelson said sinisterly.
I glanced at Joseph Nelson and casually asked, "You know him?"
Jerry Sean nodded, "Yes, a local tyrant in the business world here, always arrogant and domineering."
I uttered an "oh," and the next second, I suddenly raised my hand and slapped Joseph Nelson.
With a "pop," Joseph’s head was crushed like a watermelon!
Such a decisive action startled even Jerry Sean.
"Mason, you...why did you kill him?" Jerry Sean frowned.
I grinned, "By killing him, both of us can go to Brightheart Island."
The few martial artists who followed Joseph tried to flee, but I didn’t give them a chance. Raising my hand, I slapped them all into a pulp.
In just a few seconds, four living people had become corpses.
I ignited spiritual fire in the palm of my hand and let it fall on the bodies.
Soon, the corpses disappeared without a trace.
Jerry Sean was silent for a moment before saying, "Mason, you’ve become more ruthless than before."
