Chapter 721: Chapter 721 A Wager Of Souls
Though they couldn’t see the face, both I and the elegantly dressed young men around knew exactly who it was.
Ms. Zackary was staring at me with a mocking smile, her eyes gleaming with pure schadenfreude.
She was clearly doing this on purpose, trying to make me squirm.
"Old witch..." I wanted to explode, but I knew damn well that getting angry wouldn’t help.
I tried to push down the rage burning in my chest, but my fury kept rising, making me suddenly gag as blood rushed up my throat!
The people around me stared in shock, some calling out in concern.
"Mr. Raymond, what’s wrong? Are you sick?" someone asked worriedly.
I wiped the blood from my mouth, waved them off, and said, "It’s nothing..."
Ms. Zackary smiled coldly from the stage above. "If you’re not feeling well, go home and rest. No point pushing yourself."
I shot Ms. Zackary a cold look, then turned to leave.
"Hmph, you’re still too green to mess with me." Ms. Zackary’s voice hit my ears.
I took a few steps and stopped.
I took a deep breath and muttered, "Even if I try my hardest, I can’t keep this anger down..."
I laughed bitterly as my body suddenly burst with intense Golden Light!
A terrifying aura instantly covered the entire area!
A wave of force sent everyone around me flying backward!
A small, empty circle formed around me!
On the stage, Ms. Zackary’s eyes narrowed.
She watched me quietly, a playful smirk on her lips.
I turned around, took a deep breath, and threw a punch forward!
The Golden Light condensed quickly.
On my fist, it blazed bright as a burning sun.
The light seemed to hold destructive power, pulsing violently around my knuckles.
"Boom!"
As I threw the punch, this force erupted like a flood!
At lightning speed, it ripped through the air, almost setting the void on fire!
Ms. Zackary’s face shifted slightly. She shouted, "Leticia!"
Leticia stepped forward fast, his fingers curved into claws, and grabbed at it.
But my fist light dodged around Leticia and shot straight toward the screen-like scene.
"Boom!"
A massive explosion rang out, and shock waves spread everywhere!
Leticia snorted coldly, suddenly opened his mouth, and a flash of cold light burst out!
The shock wave died instantly, replaced by bone-chilling cold!
Seeing this, Ms. Zackary looked extremely pleased.
"Leticia, well done." Ms. Zackary smiled faintly.
Leticia bowed slightly, then looked at me.
I stayed silent, my feet moving fast as I appeared right in front of Leticia!
Our eyes met, the air thick with tension!
Ms. Zackary laughed. "Mason, want to have a match with Leticia? I’d love to see that."
I ignored Ms. Zackary, staring coldly at Leticia as the mark of Divine Dragon Power suddenly lit up on my forehead!
The mark glowed softly, but to Leticia, the light was blinding!
He instinctively stepped back twice, fear flashing in his eyes.
Seeing this, Ms. Zackary quickly moved in front of Leticia.
She spoke coldly, "Mason Raymond, what kind of hero uses cheap tricks like this?"
"I never said I was a hero," I replied coldly.
"Besides, this beast you raised is naturally afraid of the Divine Dragon. Who’s fault is that!"
Being insulted by me in front of so many people, both Leticia and Ms. Zackary couldn’t take it!
Especially Ms. Zackary – her angry expression was obvious.
"Mason Raymond, do you dare give Leticia a few days to prepare?" Ms. Zackary said, squinting.
I sneered, "Fine, I’ll give him a whole month."
"A month to get over his fear of Divine Dragon Power. That should be generous enough, right?"
Leticia frowned, then snorted, "A month is plenty."
"Good, see you in a month!" Ms. Zackary agreed first.
"Wait!" I suddenly stopped Ms. Zackary.
Ms. Zackary turned around and smiled, "What, getting scared now?"
I ignored Ms. Zackary’s mockery and said, "Since it’s a challenge, there should be stakes. Otherwise, what’s the point?"
Ms. Zackary raised her eyebrows and laughed loudly, "Interesting, interesting!"
"Fine, I’ll play along. Tell me, what do you want?" Ms. Zackary stood with her hands behind her back, looking indifferent.
I squinted and said coldly, "If I win, give me the chance to bathe in blood and take me to the Mystic Realm to awaken my bloodline!"
Hearing this, Ms. Zackary’s face changed completely!
Of course she knew what I was after! It was all for Mabel Sean!
But this was huge and a secret of the Capital City Martial Arts Association!
If I were taken in, the cost would be enormous!
Most importantly, Ms. Zackary couldn’t make this decision alone!
"What, scared?" I sneered.
Ms. Zackary squinted and said coldly, "Change your terms."
"Hehe, looks like you don’t trust your pet," I mocked.
Ms. Zackary’s face went cold, clearly furious.
At this moment, Leticia behind her said, "Ms. Zackary, a month is enough. Killing him will be child’s play."
Hearing Leticia’s words, Ms. Zackary seemed to gain some confidence.
After all, Leticia wouldn’t lose anyway, so what harm was there in agreeing?
With that thought, Ms. Zackary nodded slightly and said, "Fine, I agree. And what if you lose?"
"If I lose, do whatever you want with me," I said.
"Good! It’s a deal!" Ms. Zackary snorted coldly.
After saying this, Ms. Zackary turned to leave.
"Hold on, hold on!"
Someone from the crowd suddenly shouted.
Looking down, they saw the mustached man running up excitedly.
He grinned and said, "Mason Raymond, Ms. Zackary, words alone aren’t enough here. How about we make a contract?"
"A contract?" Ms. Zackary frowned, looking confused.
The mustached man nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, a contract!"
After finishing, the mustached man reached out and a yellowed piece of paper appeared in his hand.
He slapped the paper on the ground and grinned, "This thing is called the heavenly guardian book, supposedly passed down from hell. Once you sign it, it’s like signing a contract with your soul."
"Whoever breaks it will have their soul taken by Satan," the mustached man grinned.
