Chapter 450: Chapter 450 A Roar Like Thunder
I couldn’t wait to gain the power of a half-step Martial Marquis.
Ever since I stepped into the Grandmaster realm, my strength had transformed completely.
And the higher the level, the bigger the rewards!
"I really wonder what heights I’ll reach once I break into the half-step Martial Marquis realm..." I muttered under my breath.
Then I headed straight for Ebony Family Manor.
——
The Grandmasters from the Capital City Martial Arts Association quickly grabbed their phones, dialed Phoebe Billy, and reported what happened.
When Phoebe heard the news, he exploded with rage. "You two morons! Can’t even handle something this simple. What good are you to me?!"
The two men grumbled defensively, "Mr. Billy, I think our intel was off. Mason’s divine sense is crazy sharp - he spotted us even though we hid our presence."
The other Grandmaster jumped in, "Exactly. No wonder the Michelle Sect sent ten half-step Martial Marquis. I say our Capital City Martial Arts Association should send half-step Martial Marquis to tail Mason too."
Phoebe went quiet on the other end.
A bad feeling started creeping over him too.
Everything about Mason made people suspicious.
"If push comes to shove, I need to take out Mason fast," Phoebe muttered to himself.
Then he said firmly, "You two get back here."
"Yes sir." Both men let out relieved sighs.
——
Capital City, Sean family estate.
Klein Johansson sat facing Logan Sean and said coolly, "I already had Phoebe track down Mason and find a chance to cripple him!"
"Then I’ll drag him to the wedding and let my son finish him off personally!"
After hearing this, Logan laughed mockingly.
He looked Klein up and down with contempt and said, "Old man Johansson, are you really that scared of some punk named Mason? What, no faith in your own son?"
Klein hesitated, then sighed. "This Mason isn’t ordinary. In such a short time, he’s pulled off too many impossible things."
"Hahaha!" Logan roared with laughter.
"Klein Johansson, he’s just some nobody from the gutter - at best, a gifted nobody. But haven’t you seen plenty of those types?" Logan scoffed.
"You honestly think one Mason can threaten our two Great Families?"
Klein went silent immediately.
His approach was totally different from Logan’s.
Being cautious, he even wanted Mason dead as soon as possible.
But Logan shot down this idea without hesitation.
"Vance is my Sean family’s son-in-law. How could my Johansson family’s son-in-law be afraid of some Mason?" Logan sneered.
Klein tried to speak again, but Logan cut him off with a wave.
"Enough talk. Everything’s under control," Logan said dismissively.
Klein sighed and stayed quiet.
——
Ebony Family Manor was locked down tight.
The two guards weren’t just Martial Arts Grandmasters - they also had hunting licenses and gun permits.
They gripped hunting rifles, and nobody dared get close.
But today, a young man showed up at the gate, carrying a gorgeous woman.
"This is Ebony family property. Stay back," the two guards said coldly.
I ignored them, looked both men over, and asked casually, "Where’s Joey Ebony?"
"Who’s asking?" one guard demanded, frowning.
I smirked. "The guy who’s gonna kill him."
The guards’ faces went white, and they whipped out their guns, aiming them at me.
"Get lost! Or we won’t be nice about it!" both men yelled.
I sneered. "You might want to tell them I’m here first."
"Don’t you understand ’get lost’?" They shoved their guns closer.
I raised an eyebrow. "You think those toys can hurt me?"
"You’re asking for it!" The guards lost it and pulled their triggers!
"Bang!"
The shot boomed across heaven and earth!
The bullet ripped through the air and slammed into my chest.
But it just left a white scratch on my body without even breaking the skin.
"You..." Both guards completely freaked out!
I said coldly, "Idiots."
Before my words finished, I swung my hand and knocked both men out cold.
Finding someone in the massive Ebony Family Manor wasn’t easy.
Even though my divine sense was incredibly powerful, covering the whole estate was still tough.
The place was just too damn big.
Standing in the manor’s courtyard, I took a deep breath and shouted, "Joey Ebony! Get your ass out here!"
A roar packed with spiritual power instantly swept through the entire manor!
In the huge estate, the sound echoed endlessly, like thunder exploding in the sky!
——
Hydrating Tower.
More than ten people waited by the entrance.
On the tower’s top floor, a young man sat cross-legged in meditation.
White mist-like energy swirled around his body, making him look otherworldly.
Joey Ebony stood next to him, quietly smoking.
Suddenly, a massive roar rang out!
The shout instantly jolted Walton Greer awake!
Joey beside him also frowned slightly.
"That voice... it’s Mason!" Joey said icily.
Walton slowly opened his eyes and said calmly, "Mason... he actually tracked us down here."
Joey snorted. "This punk’s way too cocky! Does he really think we can’t handle him?!"
Then Joey looked at Walton and said, "Mr. Greer, let’s team up and kill this lunatic together!"
But Walton shook his head slightly, saying softly, "Now’s not the time to strike. Give me three more days, and I’ll break into the half-step Martial Marquis realm!"
"Then killing him will be like slicing fruit!" A cold gleam flashed in Walton’s eyes.
Joey frowned. "So what do we do? He’ll track us down eventually."
Walton took a deep breath and said lightly, "You go stall him. Remember, no matter what it takes, don’t let him reach the Hydrating Tower. If you have to, use the mountain protection artifact I left behind."
Though Joey wasn’t thrilled about it, he still nodded in agreement.
"You guys, come with me!" Joey pointed at the Peak Form Grandmasters in the Hydrating Tower.
Eight Peak Form Grandmasters immediately followed behind Joey Ebony as they left the Hydrating Tower.
