Chapter 524: Chapter 524 The Three Military Marquises
I stared coldly at the mustached man and said, "I thought you had forgotten."
The mustached man leaped down from the wall, grinning as he said, "How could that happen? I always honor my promises!"
I looked at the mustached man and said, "Then let’s stop wasting time and go."
"Hold on, my friend, you’re being unfair. I traveled all this way and haven’t even had a drink. At least buy me a meal." The mustached man smiled broadly.
Though I was eager to leave, I had no choice but to deal with the mustached man’s demands.
Reluctantly, I brought the mustached man back to the living room.
"Victor Green, get some food," I told Victor Green.
The mustached man waved his hand and said, "Don’t hold back, just order a complete imperial feast!"
Victor Green glared at the mustached man and grumbled, "Old fool, you really have no shame."
The mustached man laughed and said, "Absolutely right!"
This made everyone curious about where the mustached man got his confidence.
Victor Green fetched food from a restaurant, and the mustached man devoured it like he hadn’t eaten in weeks.
Nearby, Mya Winona frowned.
She pulled at my sleeve and whispered, "Mr. Raymond, who is this person? He’s so irritating."
I shrugged, unsure how to explain.
"Just call him ’The Mustache Man,’" I said helplessly.
Because of the mustache man’s rough table manners, both Victor Green and Mya Winona refused to sit at the table.
After almost an hour, the mustached man finally rubbed his stomach contentedly.
"Let’s move!" The mustached man got up and declared.
"Wait," I stopped the mustached man.
"I need to ask you something," I said, looking at the mustached man.
Then I led the mustached man straight into the bedroom.
Zendaya Andrew lay on the bed.
I pointed at Zendaya Andrew and asked, "She’s been unconscious for almost a month. Do you know what’s wrong?"
The mustached man rolled his eyes, "You’re a Master from the Medicine God Pavilion. If you don’t know, how would I?"
I frowned and told the mustached man the entire story.
After hearing it, the mustached man also raised his eyebrows slightly.
"She summoned the Dragon Spirit with you?" The mustached man stroked his chin and muttered quietly.
I nodded, "Yes, and since then, she’s been unconscious with very weak breathing."
The mustached man stayed quiet for a moment, then said, "I remember seeing something like this in an old text, but it was so long ago that I’ve forgotten the details."
Then the mustached man said, "Give me some time to remember."
"Fine," I agreed.
Since Zendaya Andrew had been sleeping this long already, a few more days wouldn’t matter.
After that, I said goodbye to Victor Green and the others, then followed the mustached man to the three large tombs.
——
At the Capital City Martial Arts Association meeting room, several executives remained hidden in shadows.
"Phoebe Billy is correct. This Mason Raymond must be connected to that person."
"Could the prophecy from over ten years ago actually be coming true?"
At the mention of the prophecy, the executives fell silent again.
"To avoid any mishaps, we cannot allow Mason Raymond to leave Capital City under any circumstances," a woman’s voice emerged.
"On September 9th, deploy the Three Military Marquises to eliminate Mason Raymond."
"If he dares to appear, we must kill him at all costs!"
Three Military Marquises!
The Capital City Martial Arts Association hadn’t sent out a Military Marquis in over ten years!
Now they were deploying three at once! This showed how seriously they viewed the threat!
As for the "that person" and "prophecy" they referenced, nobody knew what these meant—they seemed to be secrets of the Capital City Martial Arts Association.
——
I followed the mustached man toward the first large tomb.
The first large tomb was located in a declining village in Central Plains.
The village looked abandoned, with signs of ruin stretching for miles.
People said countless Feng Shui Masters had tried to perform ceremonies here but all left in failure.
"Such intense dark energy." The moment we reached the village, I couldn’t help feeling surprised.
The dark energy here was nearly as powerful as the Dark Energy Grave beneath the Dragon Vein!
I quickly turned to the mustached man and asked, "Where’s the tomb?"
The mustached man glanced at me, stamped his foot on the ground, and said, "This whole village is one giant tomb."
I was stunned.
Such a massive tomb—what could be buried here?
The mustached man seemed to read my confusion and said, "Based on my assessment, this used to be a site for living human sacrifice—it’s a mass grave."
My brow furrowed, and I found it difficult to accept.
According to the mustached man’s explanation, many people might have been buried alive here back then.
Maybe that was why the dark energy here was so intense.
"Alright, let’s hurry. We still need to visit the next large tomb," the mustached man muttered.
"Okay," I said nothing more.
I sat cross-legged on the ground and began absorbing the dark energy from heaven and earth.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
I remained sitting cross-legged on the ground, the surrounding dark energy vanishing bit by bit like a stream flowing into the ocean.
The dark energy here began weakening in just these few short days, and even the mustached man was somewhat amazed by the speed.
By now it was August 21st—only nineteen days remained until September 9th.
——
The Johansson family had already set their wedding date.
The venue would be a massive estate on the outskirts of Capital City.
The main mansion sat atop a mountain, far from the city’s noise—a perfect place for murder.
Today, however, several uninvited guests had arrived.
Though they appeared unremarkable, their auras were extremely powerful.
These individuals were among today’s top cultivators in the true Military Marquis Realm!
"If the Johansson family’s boy can eliminate him, that would be ideal," one of them said coldly.
"If he fails, we must act immediately and crush Mason Raymond without delay!"
