Chapter 550: Chapter 550 Nothing But A Tonic
Bodhi Gordon watched Mason Raymond with icy eyes, his aura flaring as he moved toward him.
Above the lake, Ximena Santos and her people looked grim.
"Patriarch Santos, we should go before Bodhi Gordon comes up," someone urged.
"Right! If we wait for Bodhi Gordon to reach us, it’ll be too late!"
Ximena Santos clenched her jaw. "I can’t leave. I won’t abandon Chilton Tower."
"Patriarch! Staying won’t help. Bodhi Gordon’s a half-step Martial Marquis, and he’s got the Great Saint Sect backing him!"
"Exactly! Better to retreat now and find another chance later!"
Ximena Santos went pale. She gritted her teeth reluctantly. "Maybe... that’s our only choice."
But then the water’s surface exploded!
A massive wave erupted, and several figures shot out like cannonballs!
These people were Bodhi Gordon and his group!
Blood dripped from Bodhi Gordon’s mouth, his arm hung broken, and he looked wrecked.
"What... what happened?" Ximena Santos stared in shock.
Bodhi Gordon said nothing. He scrambled up, eyes fixed on the lake.
Soon, golden light blazed.
I walked slowly out of the water.
"It’s you?!" Ximena Santos gasped when she saw me.
I glanced at her, then pointed at Bodhi Gordon. "He’s with your Chilton Tower? He tried to fight me without a word..."
I shrugged. "I had to defend myself. Self-defense, Patriarch Santos. Don’t blame me."
Ximena Santos gulped hard.
Bodhi Gordon... I sent him flying?!
And Bodhi Gordon was a half-step Martial Marquis!
"Sir, I don’t care who you are. We’re here on Great Saint Sect orders to guard this lake. Please don’t interfere," came a cold voice from one of Bodhi Gordon’s men.
I narrowed my eyes and sneered. "So you’re from the Great Saint Sect... Looks like they’ve got their eye on this place too. That’s annoying..."
"Since you know the Great Saint Sect, we ask you to leave now. The Great Saint Sect will owe you a favor!" the man continued.
I couldn’t help but sneer. "If you hadn’t mentioned the Great Saint Sect, I might’ve spared you. But now... what a shame."
My figure vanished instantly!
The next second, I slapped him across the face!
One slap, and the Grandmaster’s head exploded!
His body hit the ground hard.
Before anyone could react, I moved again.
In a flash, all those Grandmasters became cold corpses!
Everyone stood frozen.
Killing a Grandmaster with one slap? How strong was that?!
"Your turn now." I looked at Bodhi Gordon.
Bodhi Gordon’s face went ugly. "Kid, who are you!"
"Mason Raymond." I said the two words coldly.
"Mason... Mason Raymond?! Why is there another Mason Raymond?!" Bodhi Gordon felt like dying.
Ximena Santos seemed to snap out of it and rushed forward anxiously. "Mr. Raymond, I failed to see your true worth at Tarz Mountain earlier. Please help me drive him away!"
I glanced at her. "Killing him has nothing to do with you. It’s just because he once said he wouldn’t spare anyone from the Great Saint Sect."
Deep fear rose in Bodhi Gordon’s heart, but he was still a half-step Martial Marquis and wouldn’t just give up.
Bodhi Gordon’s body surged with energy, his flesh and muscles swelling.
His muscles expanded instantly, bursting his clothes!
"Mason Raymond, you’ve gone too far! You think Bodhi Gordon’s easy to push around?!" He roared and charged at me!
His fist was as big as my head, and the terrifying airflow kicked up huge waves behind him!
"Go to hell!" Bodhi Gordon bellowed!
I snorted coldly, raising my palm to meet it gently.
"Plop."
Bodhi Gordon’s massive fist was caught easily in my hand!
Even more terrifying was that no matter how hard Bodhi Gordon struggled, he couldn’t break free!
"I never thought the Great Saint Sect would target this place too." My cold voice reached Bodhi Gordon’s ear.
Bodhi Gordon swallowed hard, finally realizing how huge the gap between us was!
"Don’t... don’t kill me..." Bodhi Gordon said shakily.
I shook my head. "Sorry, I keep my word."
As soon as I spoke, I suddenly squeezed my palm, crushing Bodhi Gordon’s fist!
The next second, my fist glowed golden and slammed into Bodhi Gordon!
One punch pierced straight through his flesh!
Bodhi Gordon looked down at the hole in his chest, pupils filled with terror.
"A half-step Martial Marquis, huh? Great tonic; can’t waste it." I raised my hand, and Heaven Swallowing Skill activated instantly.
In moments, the powerful Bodhi Gordon became a dried corpse.
Silence fell around us.
Ximena Santos covered her mouth, face full of shock.
"Thank... thank you, Mr. Raymond!" Ximena Santos snapped back and spoke hurriedly.
"Thank you, Mr. Raymond!" the others shouted too.
I looked at them. "Like I said, killing him had nothing to do with you. What are you thanking me for?"
Ximena Santos whispered, "Either way, you saved Chilton Tower. I’ll definitely remember this kindness."
"Do what you want." I waved my hand.
"Mr. Raymond, please come inside!" Ximena Santos said with cupped hands.
Following Ximena Santos, we reached the guest room.
"You should all leave now." Ximena Santos waved her hand, dismissing everyone around her.
After everyone left, Ximena Santos locked the door.
Then she looked at me and whispered, "Mr. Raymond, I promised that if you helped me solve this trouble, I... I could spend a spring night with you..."
As she spoke, Ximena Santos had already taken off her black miniskirt.
