Chapter 672: Chapter 672 A Chess Piece Unaware
Watching the shredded document, Sybil Cooper’s face went white with shock!
He stared daggers at Ignacio Richard, spitting, "You...what’s this supposed to mean!"
Ignacio Richard answered icily, "What, can’t figure it out?"
"Ignacio Richard, you...don’t push it! War God or not, you can’t just throw your weight around like this!" Sybil Cooper snarled through clenched teeth.
Ignacio Richard fixed Sybil Cooper with a freezing stare and said, "Don’t like it? Take me to court."
"You!" Sybil Cooper’s chest rose and fell with rage, his face pale as death.
"You’re not taking him anywhere today!" Sybil Cooper growled.
Ignacio Richard let out a cold laugh, "Refuse my orders, and I’ll deal with you right here."
Right then, Ignacio Richard made a signal, and a swarm of armed soldiers burst through the doors!
More than that, the Capital City Martial Arts Association was completely surrounded!
Seeing this, Sybil Cooper’s expression turned ugly as hell!
It was obvious that Ignacio Richard meant business about taking me away.
Going head-to-head with Ignacio Richard today would mean crossing the government!
The fallout from that wasn’t something Sybil Cooper could handle!
"Let him go!" Ignacio Richard barked.
Sybil Cooper ground his teeth, waved his hand, and said coldly, "Release him!"
The Martial Saint Weapon floating above started losing its glow.
Several people rushed to untie me.
Seeing this, Phoebe Billy breathed easier too.
"Never expected Ignacio Richard to come rescue him." Phoebe Billy thought.
He looked at me, puzzled.
Was this all part of my plan? How did I manage to get Ignacio Richard to bail me out?
I stepped down from the execution platform and stared coldly at Sybil Cooper, saying slowly, "Sybil Cooper, you remember what I told you, don’t you?"
Sybil Cooper’s face got even paler, saying coolly, "Don’t get cocky. The Capital City Martial Arts Association won’t forget this!"
"Fine, I’ll be ready," I replied coldly.
"Move," Ignacio Richard glanced at me and said.
I nodded and followed Ignacio Richard out of the Capital City Martial Arts Association.
When I got to the entrance, I saw soldiers everywhere.
This was government power - something the Capital City Martial Arts Association couldn’t fight.
After getting in the car, I thanked Ignacio Richard, saying, "Thanks, Commander Richard."
Ignacio Richard looked at me again, saying, "Don’t party yet. The Capital City Martial Arts Association won’t drop this."
I smiled, "I know. Thanks for the heads up, Commander Richard."
The car rolled forward and reached an empty area.
That’s when the car stopped.
Ignacio Richard opened the door and said, "Get out."
I hesitated, saying awkwardly, "Can’t you lock me up for a couple days?"
Ignacio Richard frowned at me, "I said get out, so get out. What’s with all the chatter?"
I shrugged and quickly jumped out of the car.
After I got out, Ignacio Richard didn’t say another word and drove off with his men.
I took a deep breath and whispered, "This plan... worked."
Without wasting time, I headed straight for Green Moon Villa.
Green Moon Villa had a Spiritual Spring, and I planned to use it for training while waiting for the mustached man.
The Capital City Martial Arts Association would definitely send another purple robe to kill me.
I knew exactly how big the gap was between me and a purple robe.
Once I hit mid-level Military Marquis, I’d have a real shot.
——
Meanwhile, after rescuing Mason Raymond, Ignacio Richard went straight to a private club.
In the club, a suited man was waiting for Ignacio Richard.
Walking into the club, Ignacio Richard saluted and said, "Hello, Mr. River."
Mr. River waved with a smile, saying, "How’d it go? All finished?"
Ignacio Richard nodded, "Mr. River, just like you said, Mason Raymond did come to me for help."
Mr. River laughed, "I read him right. Good, very good."
Ignacio Richard sat next to Mr. River, frowning slightly, "Mr. River, I don’t get why you’d want to help him?"
"Help him?" Mr. River shook his head.
He said calmly, "I’m not helping him. I’m using his strength."
"Using his strength?" Ignacio Richard looked surprised.
Mr. River took a drag of his cigarette and said slowly, "All these years, the Capital City Martial Arts Association’s wild expansion has pissed off the higher-ups."
"But they’re still part of the martial arts world, so shutting them down directly would cause problems."
Hearing this, Ignacio Richard suddenly got it.
He said, "You want to... use Mason Raymond to hit the Capital City Martial Arts Association?"
"Exactly," Mr. River said calmly.
"Whether he can pull it off or not, that’s his luck."
——
I had no clue I’d become someone’s chess piece, completely in the dark about it.
I made my way back to Green Moon Villa.
Ever since I killed Kira Doris, nobody at Green Moon Villa dared try to take my spot.
In the Great Hall, Patriarch Santos sat with authority. Two White Robes from the Capital City Martial Arts Association stood before her.
Even though they were just White Robes, their status was way above what Patriarch Santos could match.
"Patriarch Santos, all sects should follow the Capital City Martial Arts Association’s lead." One White Robe said with a thin smile.
Patriarch Santos frowned, saying, "Green Moon Villa wants nothing to do with the Capital City Martial Arts Association."
"Hehe, Patriarch Santos, we’re talking nice right now. Next time we come, it won’t be the same." One White Robe warned darkly.
Patriarch Santos frowned slightly, saying, "Let’s wait for Mr. Raymond to return before deciding."
"Haha, Patriarch Santos, today’s Mason Raymond’s execution day. You knew that, right?" The two White Robes burst out laughing.
"Wait for him to come back? I’m afraid you won’t get that chance."
Patriarch Santos clenched her teeth, saying, "Until the results are in, nothing’s decided."
"Please leave, both of you. You’re not welcome here," Patriarch Santos said, standing up.
The White Robes’ faces darkened, one of them snorted, "Patriarch Santos, are you kicking us out? Do you know what happens when you refuse us today?!"
"The consequences aren’t something you can handle. You better think hard!"
"What consequences?"
Right then, a voice came from behind them.
They turned around to see a man staring at them with a cold expression.
