Chapter 697: Chapter 697 A Very Public Execution
When it came to this question, Sybil Cooper simply shook his head.
"These records are all stored in the Capital City Martial Arts Association’s files; I’ve never laid eyes on them," Sybil replied.
"Files..." I frowned slightly.
I looked at Sybil and asked, "Are these files kept in the Scripture Pavilion?"
"Exactly." A hint of surprise crossed Sybil’s face.
I rubbed my chin, saying, "I’m guessing the files must hold plenty of information, right?"
When this topic came up, Sybil immediately spoke with pride, "Absolutely! Nearly every incident in the martial arts world gets documented in those files!"
I thought to myself, "I need to figure out how to get into this Scripture Pavilion."
"One last question," I said, looking at Sybil.
Sybil nodded, "Ask away."
I rubbed my chin again and grinned, "The Capital City Martial Arts Association should own many facilities, right?"
"Yes, being the center of the martial arts world, that’s only natural." Sybil felt that strange pride again.
I asked, "So... which facility draws the most martial artists?"
Sybil considered for a moment and said, "Obviously, it’s the Taoism Theory Library."
"Taoism Theory Library?" I seemed somewhat unfamiliar with this name.
Sybil nodded, "That’s correct. The Taoism Theory Library is a public library created by the Capital City Martial Arts Association. Many martial artists come there to study techniques."
This caught me off guard.
I never imagined that the Capital City Martial Arts Association would even offer this type of public service.
"Taoism Theory Library... Are you certain this place draws the biggest crowds?" I asked once more.
Sybil scoffed, "Definitely, from Grandmasters down to Marquis, practically everyone has visited the Taoism Theory Library!"
I nodded quietly, "Alright, I understand."
With my questions finished, Sybil looked up at me and said, "You can release me now."
I raised my eyebrows and sneered, "Release you? When did I ever promise I’d release you?"
Sybil’s expression shifted, and he said coldly, "Mason Raymond, are you planning to go back on your word?"
I laughed loudly, "Honor my word? Why should I honor my word with scum like you?"
"Besides, if I release you, wouldn’t that mean breaking the harsh promise I made before, isn’t that also going back on my word?"
"You!" Sybil’s face turned deathly pale with rage!
His energy rapidly surged, and he furiously punched the cage!
But right then, Desmond Fabiola lifted his hand, effortlessly holding the cage steady.
All of Sybil’s force vanished just like that.
"Do you know why I asked which facility has the most people?" I raised an eyebrow.
Sybil’s face changed as though he understood something.
"What... What are you planning to do?" Sybil asked nervously.
I laughed loudly, "You’re the association president, after all. Your execution should match your position."
After saying this, I drove toward the Taoism Theory Library.
Sybil’s face turned purple with fury, and he shouted, "Mason Raymond, you lying, despicable bastard! I’ll murder you!"
I paid no attention to Sybil’s outburst.
Humming a tune, I made my way to the Taoism Theory Library.
——
The Taoism Theory Library stood as the Capital City Martial Arts Association’s sole charitable public resource, naturally drawing countless martial artists.
Just as Sybil had claimed, from Marquis to Grandmasters, nearly everyone could be found there.
While the techniques available weren’t considered elite, having any chance to study techniques was already incredible fortune for those without organizational backing.
The entire library remained quite peaceful, with everyone holding books and quietly studying techniques.
Suddenly, some disturbance arose from the library’s entrance.
Looking up, people could see a young man carrying a cage toward the front.
An old man sat inside the cage.
Upon witnessing this scene, everyone turned to stare.
The library administrator bellowed, "Who are you, what do you want?"
Mason glanced at him, then pointed at Sybil in the cage and said, "Don’t you know who he is?"
"How would I know some homeless guy like that!" The administrator snorted.
Mason burst out laughing after hearing this.
"Get lost right now, or don’t blame me for getting nasty!" The administrator yelled.
Just then, someone identified Mason.
"That guy is Mason Raymond!"
"The one in the cage... is that Sybil Cooper, the Capital City Martial Arts Association president?"
"So Sybil Cooper really got captured?"
Seeing this scene, many people pulled out their phones, wanting to record this moment.
When the administrator heard these words, his face changed drastically, and he quickly backed away.
For a moment, all eyes focused on Mason.
"Damn, I never thought the president would actually end up locked in a cage."
"Sybil Cooper looks pretty pathetic."
"Ha, he deserves it! When he locked up others, did he ever consider their feelings?"
"Mason Raymond is truly impressive, even capturing the Capital City Martial Arts Association president."
Facing everyone’s stares, Sybil’s face became incredibly ugly.
He had been the center of attention since childhood, receiving respect from all martial artists and holding high status.
But now he was trapped in a cage, being stared at like an animal.
The massive difference between his past and present nearly shattered Sybil.
"Mason Raymond, release me, and I can accept any demand you make!" Sybil said through gritted teeth.
Mason coldly glanced at Sybil and said, "Don’t blame me. Blame your association executives; they’re the ones who abandoned you."
After dropping this line, Mason turned to the crowd.
He took a deep breath and said coldly, "I declared that if the Capital City Martial Arts Association didn’t free Mabel Sean, I would kill their president."
"Time’s up, and I still haven’t seen Mabel. According to our agreement, I will execute Sybil publicly!"
"Mason Raymond, you’re outrageous! Release our president immediately!" Suddenly, someone in the library shouted.
Mason coldly glanced at him and then waved his hand, instantly crushing his head!
"If anyone else dares speak nonsense, I’ll kill them all," Mason said coldly.
The scene immediately fell into complete silence.
——
At this time, the old woman received a live video stream.
"This Mason Raymond..." The old woman gritted her teeth, her face becoming even more unsightly.
She and Sybil shared an excellent relationship, and they even had romantic involvement in their youth.
Now seeing Sybil in such a wretched state, how could she not be furious!
So, the old woman took out her phone and dialed a number.
"Head to the Taoism Theory Library immediately and kill Mason Raymond!" The old woman said coldly.
Besides the old woman, members of all the great aristocratic families saw the video.
