Chapter 554: Chapter 554 To Avoid Complications
Hearing Logan Sean’s words left Atkinson Samson momentarily speechless.
He quickly tried to clarify: "Mr. Sean, I just discovered that Mason Raymond is at Green Moon Villa, I..."
"Silence!" Logan Sean harshly cut off Atkinson Samson’s explanation.
"Worthless! Someone invades our territory and you remain clueless. What good are you if you’re this incompetent!" Logan Sean snapped furiously.
"Listen carefully—if you can’t manage even this simple task, you might as well leave the Sean family!"
With those harsh words, Logan Sean ended the call.
Atkinson Samson’s expression darkened, his face twisting with deadly rage.
"Mason Raymond... I will destroy you!" Atkinson Samson shook with uncontrollable fury.
Since Mason Raymond’s appearance, Logan Sean had berated Atkinson Samson repeatedly.
If this pattern continued, he might genuinely face expulsion from his position.
Without hesitation, Atkinson Samson rushed toward the Great Saint Sect.
...
I positioned myself beneath the cascading water, peacefully drawing in the energy from the Spiritual Spring.
This power felt remarkably rich and completely pure.
My only disappointment was being unable to transport the Spiritual Spring elsewhere.
"Once I achieve the Military Marquis Realm, I’ll completely control the Great Saint Sect!" I told myself.
Since my conversation with Paul Randall, my ambitions had expanded beyond merely reaching Military Marquis status.
I aimed to enter the Martial Saint realm, achieving true unmatched power!
I would force the Johansson family, the Sean family, everyone to bow before me!
"After reaching the Marquis realm, I can attempt hunting other Marquis warriors," I reasoned.
A Marquis matched the Golden Core Stage in spiritual cultivation, forming a golden core inside their body.
Their entire cultivation concentrated within that golden core.
By consuming the golden core, one’s power would surge dramatically.
Therefore, entering the Marquis realm would unlock everything.
I functioned like an energy filter; every drop of water flowing past me lost its power to my absorption.
Hours passed swiftly, and half the day had already gone by.
I could distinctly sense the physical energy within my body growing more concentrated.
Suddenly, my eyes snapped open!
Panic flashed across my face as I shouted in alarm: "This is bad!"
I had just realized that the Great Saint Sect operated under Sean family control!
Since the Sean family owned it, they would certainly place loyal followers within the Great Saint Sect to monitor Atkinson Samson!
My presence here might already be discovered!
"I completely overlooked this connection with Sean," I thought, my brow creasing with concern.
My thoughts raced as a dangerous gleam appeared in my eyes.
I quickly covered my face and headed straight for the Great Hall.
Kira Doris currently occupied Atkinson Samson’s seat, sipping tea leisurely.
Upon seeing me, alarm briefly crossed Kira Doris’s features.
"Kira Doris, gather everyone who trained near the Spiritual Spring today," I commanded coldly.
Kira Doris looked puzzled and asked, "What’s happening?"
"No questions, move now, and remember—bring every single person, leave no one behind!" I urged desperately.
Seeing my urgency, Kira Doris asked nothing more and immediately summoned the dozen-plus individuals who had been near the Spiritual Spring, just as I requested.
Inside the Great Hall, these dozen people questioned confusedly, "Elder Kira, why the sudden gathering? Is there trouble?"
Kira Doris remained silent since he didn’t understand the situation either.
He instinctively glanced toward me, apparently waiting for my explanation.
I slowly rose to my feet, surveyed the group, then suddenly struck without warning!
"Crack!"
My blow completely crushed someone’s skull!
Everyone’s expressions instantly transformed with horror!
"What... what are you doing?" Even Kira Doris couldn’t help crying out in shock.
I replied icily: "To avoid complications, these people must all die."
Hearing my words, the assembled group immediately panicked.
But their strength couldn’t possibly match mine.
Within minutes, I had brutally killed every one of those dozen people!
Staring at the blood splattered everywhere, Kira Doris’s face turned deathly pale.
"Mason Raymond, what exactly do you want?" Kira Doris snarled through gritted teeth.
I looked at him and explained, "I suspect Atkinson Samson has already been informed, and the leak probably came from among these people."
"That’s impossible!" Kira Doris argued strongly.
"I’ve explained before—the Great Saint Sect maintains strict hierarchy, and these people could never contact Atkinson Samson directly!"
I said coldly, "Some of them might be Sean family plants."
This intuition felt overwhelmingly strong. Even after eliminating these people, I still felt uneasy.
"If Atkinson Samson returns later, it’ll confirm my suspicions," I told Kira Doris.
"As for explanations, figure something out."
"Figure out what exactly!" Kira Doris exploded with frustration.
"These were the Great Saint Sect’s top members. With so many dead at once, how can I possibly explain this!"
I said, "Tell him I was here, but remember—don’t mention my cultivation at the Spiritual Spring."
Kira Doris said coldly, "I truly regret getting involved with you."
"Regret isn’t too late. I could kill you too, then you wouldn’t need to explain anything," I replied, my cold gaze fixed on Kira Doris.
Sensing the murderous intent radiating from me, Kira Doris froze completely.
He bit his lip and said stiffly, "Fine, I understand."
Without delay, I immediately departed the Great Saint Sect.
After leaving the Great Saint Sect, rather than returning directly to Green Moon Villa, I temporarily remained in Cango City, waiting for the right moment.
——
That evening.
Exactly as predicted, Atkinson Samson hurried back to the Great Saint Sect.
Witnessing Atkinson Samson’s furious demeanor, Kira Doris couldn’t help trembling.
"Did Mason Raymond visit here?" Atkinson Samson asked, glaring coldly at Kira Doris.
Fighting his nervousness, Kira Doris feigned surprise, "Sect Master, how did you find out?"
Atkinson Samson’s face went completely white!
He clenched his fists and growled through gritted teeth, "So he actually came... Mason Raymond..."
"He didn’t just visit—he massacred over ten of our members," Kira Doris said, pretending distress.
"If I hadn’t escaped quickly enough, I’d probably be dead too."
"Mason Raymond... Mason Raymond, I swear I’ll kill you!!!" Atkinson Samson’s enraged screams filled the entire Great Hall.
Kira Doris couldn’t help breathing a sigh of relief.
Damn, fortunately he didn’t suspect me.
——
Elsewhere, I located a temporary hideout and settled in.
That night, Kira Doris sent me a message:
Everything unfolded exactly as you predicted. Atkinson Samson returned and he knows you were there.
My brow furrowed as I set down my phone and lightly patted my chest.
"That was close. If I hadn’t considered this possibility, I’d probably be dead at Atkinson Samson’s hands by now," I thought, patting my chest again with visible relief.
——
Capital City, at the Johansson family residence.
After days of unconsciousness, Vance Johansson finally awakened.
"Son, you’re finally awake." Seeing Vance conscious, Klein Johansson couldn’t hold back the tears filling his eyes.
Vance Johansson clenched his teeth and demanded, "Dad, where’s Mason Raymond? I want to kill him... I want to kill him!!"
At the mention of Mason Raymond, Klein Johansson couldn’t help sighing heavily.
He gently touched Vance Johansson’s shoulder and said, "Focus on recovering first."
"No! I must kill Mason Raymond! He has to die!" With these words, Vance attempted to struggle upright.
Seeing this, Klein could only calm him, "Don’t worry, I’ll get revenge for you. I’ve already used my connections and asked Dalia Yann to act."
"Dalia Yann?" Vance exclaimed with surprise.
"The same Dalia Yann who dominated decades ago before entering seclusion?"
Klein Johansson said coldly, "That’s right."
