Chapter 468: Chapter 468 The Defeated Mans Bargain
Watching the video content, Logan Sean’s face looked slightly off.
"Mr. Sean, Mason Raymond is beyond our control now," the Military Adviser said from beside him.
Logan Sean drew on his cigar and snorted coldly, "His speed is faster than I thought."
"It’s not just his speed." The Military Adviser shook his head.
"What matters most is that he beat a half-step Martial Marquis while still in the Grandmaster Realm."
Logan Sean stayed quiet.
Being a martial artist himself, he understood the massive gap between peak Grandmaster Realm and half-step Martial Marquis.
"If we let this kid reach half-step Martial Marquis Realm, the results would be terrifying," the Military Adviser sighed.
Logan Sean glanced at the Military Adviser and huffed, "So what if he’s got martial arts talent? He’s still just some lowly fighter."
"In today’s world, power isn’t built on martial arts alone. I can control him like a puppet with one finger!"
This was capital’s confidence. In this age, no matter how skilled someone was, fighting capital was nearly impossible.
The Military Adviser sighed and said, "Mr. Sean, I won’t argue with your thinking, but right now Mason Raymond doesn’t threaten the Sean Family’s position."
"But have you considered what happens if he reaches half-step Martial Marquis Realm? Or even Military Marquis realm? Who in this world could touch him then?"
Logan Sean laughed, "Didn’t you get what I said? In this era, some lowly martial artist can’t cause any real trouble!"
The Military Adviser paused before saying, "If he does reach half-step Martial Marquis Realm, he’ll catch the battle zone’s attention."
"If the battle zone gives him an official position, makes him a high-ranking frontier officer, the Sean Family will need to think carefully before targeting him."
Logan Sean said nothing.
Just like the military adviser said, if Mason Raymond really got involved with the authorities, making a move against him wouldn’t be so simple.
"Got any bright ideas?" Logan Sean looked at the Military Adviser and asked.
The Military Adviser answered, "Miss Sean’s wedding is coming up. It’s too late for action now, so why not just let things play out."
Hearing this, Logan Sean’s eyebrows creased slightly.
The military adviser went on, "If Mason Raymond does show up at the wedding, under any circumstances... he can’t leave Capital City!"
"Of course, if Mr. Johansson could kill Mason Raymond right there, that would be perfect."
Then the military adviser suddenly brought up, "Mr. Sean, I think your son might not fear Mason Raymond."
Obviously, by ’son’, he meant Logan Sean’s son, Alberto Sean.
Who currently led the youth generation rankings in Pyro!
However, Logan Sean shook his head, "My son has always stayed out of worldly conflicts. He won’t get involved in these kinds of fights."
The military adviser couldn’t help but smile bitterly. When Zaria Buchanan got slapped by Mason Raymond last time, Alberto Sean didn’t say a word, let alone join this kind of struggle.
Logan Sean waved his hand, "Go tell Klein Johansson to have his son ready completely. No matter what happens, Mason Raymond must die on September 9th!"
"Yes, Mr. Sean," the Military Adviser nodded.
Besides this, both the Johansson and Sean families started making secret preparations to prevent any surprises.
——
Ever since I defeated Walton Greer at the Grandmaster Realm, my name had spread everywhere.
Small and major noble families and sects learned that a genius had emerged from Chuzzle who beat a half-step Martial Marquis at the Grandmaster Realm.
Even the Martial Arts Forum was guessing my strength once I stepped into the half-step Martial Marquis Realm!
In the end, everyone reached the same conclusion:
Once I step into the half-step Martial Marquis Realm, I’ll be unstoppable!
Right now, I was sitting in the living room.
In front of me lay a woman with a completely perfect figure.
"Master, what happened to Miss Andrew?" Victor Green asked from the side.
I shook my head, saying, "I’m not sure."
Mya Winona stepped forward, trying to check on Zendaya Andrew, but in the end, she shook her head too.
"Mya, leave Zendaya Andrew in your care for now," I told Mya Winona.
Mya nodded and replied, "Master Raymond, I understand."
"Mr. Raymond, where are you going?" Victor Green asked quietly.
I said two words: "Cultivation."
With barely over a month left until September 9th, I had to enter the half-step Martial Marquis Realm before then.
Moreover... there was also the ticking time bomb of the Michelle Sect. Their ten half-step Martial Marquis could strike anytime.
If I kept staying in Chuzzle, I would definitely face trouble.
"I might need to be away for a while. As for exactly when I’ll return, I don’t know either," I looked toward Mya Winona and Victor Green.
"If anything happens, you can look for Conrad Schroeder, or go back to the Divine Alchemist Pavilion."
Seeing my serious expression, both of them didn’t dare ask more questions, just kept nodding like pecking chicks.
For the coming time, I had to do everything possible to hit the half-step Martial Marquis Realm!
Right now, my realm was already enough. If I could gather enough qi or dark energy, reaching half-step Martial Marquis wouldn’t be a problem.
After thinking it over, I decided to head to Summers for now.
The Hydrating Tower held great strategic value, and besides... there were definitely secrets hidden within the Hydrating Tower!
A simple tower would be absolutely impossible to have effects similar to the Enlightenment Tea.
Last time, due to time pressure, I hadn’t been able to uncover the secrets in the Hydrating Tower. This time, no matter what, I had to discover what exactly the Hydrating Tower was hiding.
——
Honua, Cango City.
Although it was near Capital City, the landscapes were completely different.
And in a secluded plain in Cango City, a giant sect was located.
Calling it a sect, it actually worked like a company.
Not only did it have towering skyscrapers, but it also owned vast land areas.
This was the Great Saint Sect, the largest sect in the north, funded by the Sean Family of Capital City.
Inside the sect, a young man was kneeling on the ground.
In front of him, on a massive chair made from yellow pear wood, an old man in a suit was drinking tea.
"Walton Greer, called the ’Number One Person of Central Plains’," the old man said indifferently.
"I remember the Great Saint Sect once sent you an invitation, but you rejected it. Now, you’ve lost to Mason Raymond, and you’re thinking of seeking refuge with our Great Saint Sect?"
Walton Greer stood up, shook his head, and said, "Elder Adrianne, you’ve got it wrong. I’m here this time to help your Great Saint Sect."
Hearing this, a trace of displeasure flashed across Elder Adrianne’s face.
"Help our Great Saint Sect? Walton Greer, you’re overestimating yourself a bit," Elder Adrianne said coldly.
Walton Greer wasn’t in a hurry. He chuckled lightly, saying, "I have a Dharma Treasure that lets someone increase their cultivation in a short time."
"Both Mason Raymond and I have relied on this Dharma Treasure to reach this realm within such a short time."
"Elder Adrianne, you should understand better than me what this Dharma Treasure means to the Great Saint Sect."
