Chapter 492: Chapter 492 Not Worth Mentioning
The aura that made Logan Sean and the others so nervous obviously belonged to no ordinary person.
Phoebe Billy rushed forward, forcing a smile as he said, "M-Mr. Shah, what brings you here..."
The man called Jagger Shah glanced at Phoebe Billy and said coldly, "Are you people at the Capital City Martial Arts Association really starting to see yourselves as the bosses?"
Phoebe Billy’s face shifted. He quickly replied, "Not at all—it’s a misunderstanding..."
Jagger Shah slammed his palm on the table with a loud bang, shouting, "Who told you to mess with the Divine Alchemist Pavilion?"
Phoebe Billy nervously laughed, "It wasn’t us—it was the Great Saint Sect. It has nothing to do with us..."
Jagger Shah frowned slightly and continued coldly, "The higher-ups have always been tolerant about martial arts issues, but I’m warning you: don’t push your luck."
"Y-yes, yes..." Phoebe Billy nodded quickly.
Jagger Shah snorted, "Is Finn Darby locked up here?"
"Y-yes, that’s right. We were worried the Great Saint Sect might hurt her..." Phoebe Billy answered.
Jagger Shah gave him a sharp look and said, "I don’t care about the Great Saint Sect or any other sect. That’s your problem."
"But let me tell you this: if even one hair on Finn Darby’s head gets damaged, you know what’ll happen!"
Phoebe Billy quickly promised, "Don’t worry! I guarantee she’ll be treated well and fed properly here..."
With a cold laugh, Jagger Shah didn’t stick around. He turned and walked out.
Only after he left did everyone finally breathe again.
"Good thing we didn’t mess with him..." Klein Johansson whispered.
Logan Sean wrinkled his brow, thinking hard.
"Seems like the higher-ups really care about Finn Darby..." Logan Sean said through clenched teeth.
Phoebe Billy patted Logan Sean’s shoulder and said, "Well, catching her was already pretty impressive."
Logan Sean snorted, "One day I’ll find someone who can replace her!"

I left the Divine Alchemist Pavilion but stopped in the middle of the street.
Several hidden auras lurking in the shadows couldn’t escape my sharp senses.
"Come out," I said coldly.
Before my words finished, ten half-step Martial Marquis stepped out from the darkness.
They surrounded me, and one of them said casually, "Mason Raymond, you finally showed up."
My eyes swept over them as a smirk crossed my face. "Looks like you’ve been waiting quite a while—pretty patient," I mocked.
Hawk Hook Nose sneered, "The Michelle Sect put out a kill order—we’re under strict orders to bring you back."
I studied Hawk Hook Nose and chuckled, "I’m curious: when the Pavilion Master was under attack, why didn’t you rush into the Divine Alchemist Pavilion?"
"And... after the Pavilion Master got taken away, why didn’t you do anything?"
Hawk Hook Nose snorted, "We had a deal with the Pavilion Master herself. She said you’d come out in a month, and I decided to trust her."
I raised an eyebrow. "I have to say, you’re pretty trustworthy—way better than those animals in the Great Saint Sect."
Hawk Hook Nose said flatly, "Will you come with us peacefully, or do we have to drag you back?"
I smirked coldly, "Since you didn’t take advantage when the Pavilion Master was in trouble, I’ll let you walk away this time. Leave now, and I won’t kill you."
Hearing this, Hawk Hook Nose burst out laughing.
"Mason Raymond, do you even know what you’re saying?" Hawk Hook Nose roared.
"We are ten half-step Martial Marquis! Do you really think you can threaten us?"
I replied calmly, "Half-step Martial Marquis aren’t worth mentioning. All ten of you together still can’t match me."
"Total nonsense!" Hawk Hook Nose yelled angrily.
His aura exploded instantly, followed by the rest unleashing their power. Their killing intent surged wildly!
"Today, you’ll either come back with us—or you’ll die. Your choice!" Hawk Hook Nose declared coldly.
I narrowed my eyes, my sneer sharp. "I gave you a chance. Since you don’t know how to appreciate it, don’t blame me for being ruthless."
As I spoke, the Golden Light spreading over my body began expanding, covering me completely.
A terrifying aura rippled outward, getting stronger by the second!
The big fight was about to explode!
"Attack!"
The group looked at each other, then charged toward me!
"Bang!"
Three of them gathered Inner Strength in their fists at the same time, aiming straight for my face!
"Idiots!" I spat coldly, then clenched my fist tight, raising it to meet their attack!
"Bang!"
The collision created four brilliant flashes! At that moment, a terrifying Golden Light burst out!
As soon as we clashed, the three got blasted backward instantly!
"How is this possible!" Fear flashed across their faces.
I stood surrounded by shimmering golden light, my aura surging painfully strong.
"I only give chances once—but you’ve already wasted yours," I said coldly.
Before my voice faded, I stepped forward!
The ten scrambled to counter my move.
For a moment, the sky darkened as multiple energy beams targeted every weak spot on my body!
Unfazed, my physical body stood like an unbreakable force. "Clang, clang, clang!" The endless sounds rang out!
I fought one against ten with growing strength. My intimidating aura soared, wild hair flying—a true embodiment of an invincible War God!
"Buzz!"
The Michelle Sect suddenly released a magical artifact, its massive power accompanied by an oppressive aura rolling toward me!
"Nothing worth mentioning!"
My expression didn’t change. The Absolute Beginning Sacred Fist quickly emerged, smashing into the artifact with overwhelming force!
"Crack!"
On impact, the magical artifact shattered instantly!
"Something’s wrong!" Hawk Hook Nose suddenly felt panic creep into his heart!
This young man in front of him—it didn’t make sense. He wasn’t ordinary. He was... something more.
"Die!"
Before Hawk Hook Nose could react, I used Shrinking Ground Into An Inch, quickly closing the distance and hitting Hawk Hook Nose directly in the chest with a clean, powerful punch!
Hawk Hook Nose’s expression changed drastically! At such close range, he couldn’t dodge!
In this critical moment, a silver gleam lit up Hawk Hook Nose’s chest!
The protective magical artifact from the Michelle Sect—a seemingly unbreakable object—activated to shield him!
"Bang!"
But as my fist landed, the artifact shattered instantly!
The strike’s immense penetrating force shook Hawk Hook Nose’s five organs and six bowels!
"Pfff!"
A mouthful of blood sprayed out uncontrollably!
"This Mason Raymond... How could he be this strong!" Hawk Hook Nose’s face went pale as the realization hit him!
No wonder the Lord of the Divine Alchemist Pavilion had told them to wait a month!
"Sching!"
Just then, a blade slashed at my back, leaving a long, bloody wound several centimeters deep!
I turned around, staring coldly.
A man with claw-like hands stood silently, his face twisted with tension.
As my gaze landed on him, the clawed man felt his heart race uncontrollably. It was like a predator had locked onto its prey.
"Die... die now!" The clawed man yelled madly in fear, throwing his claw straight toward my head!
"Crack!"
I raised my gleaming palm, gripping the claw tightly mid-strike!
"No!" The clawed man’s face turned pale with despair!
He tried pulling his claw back, only to find it stuck firmly in my grip!
"Not bad—you’ve got decent skills to wound me," I said coldly.
With a surge of strength from my hand, I pulled the clawed man forward effortlessly!
