Chapter 755: Chapter 755 The Bloodline You Promised
Inside the mansion.
I sat alone under the moonlight, gently adjusting my breathing.
The stronger I became, the harder it got to break through to the next level.
Countless people got stuck at one stage their whole lives, and even prodigies hit walls they couldn’t overcome.
While I was lost in thought, a graceful figure appeared at the entrance.
Looking up, I spotted a woman with an alluring silhouette standing in the doorway.
I glanced at her and frowned. "Who are you?"
The woman glided toward me with delicate steps.
Putting on a helpless act, she whispered, "Mr. Raymond, I’m just a regular member of the Martial Arts Academy. I... I’ve run into some trouble recently, and I had nowhere else to turn..."
"You’ve run into trouble?" Surprise flickered across my face.
The woman went on, "Yes, there’s a group hunting me down. They’re lurking outside the Capital City Martial Arts Association right now. The moment I step outside, they’ll grab me..."
Looking at the pitiful woman before me, mockery flashed through my mind.
"So what exactly do you want from me?" I asked.
The woman quickly replied, "Please help me kill them! Once they’re dead, I’ll be safe!"
"Mr. Raymond, I’ll do whatever you ask if you help me!"
I sneered. "Why should I help you?"
"If you won’t help me, I’ll have no choice but to die..." The woman whimpered quietly.
"What’s your life or death got to do with me? Do I even know you?" I asked coldly.
The woman opened her mouth to respond, but I waved my hand to cut her off.
"I won’t help you. Get out," I said coldly.
"Mr. Raymond, I..."
"I told you to leave. Don’t you get it?" I said coldly.
Left with no choice, the woman got up, gritted her teeth, and walked out.
I wasn’t someone who overflowed with compassion.
Besides, the woman’s story was full of holes and impossible to believe.
——
In the woods, the woman told Ms. Zackary what happened.
Ms. Zackary scolded with an icy expression, "Useless! If you can’t even handle this, how can I depend on you!"
The woman opened her mouth, bit her lip and whispered, "Mason Raymond doesn’t fall for flattery. He doesn’t buy my story at all. I..."
"Bang!"
Before the woman could finish, she suddenly got slapped in the chest!
The blow sent her stumbling backward, her chest nearly caved in, and blood poured from her mouth.
Sharp pain made breathing almost impossible, and her lovely face went pale.
Looking up, she saw Ms. Zackary staring at her coldly.
"Ms. Zackary, you..." The woman pointed at Ms. Zackary, her face full of shock.
Ms. Zackary sneered, "This will make it more convincing. Go find a way to fool him."
The woman’s face turned extremely ugly, but there was no going back now. She was trapped between a rock and a hard place.
She could only bear the pain and head back to Mason Raymond’s mansion again.
About ten minutes later.
——
The woman showed up in front of me again.
This time, she looked awful.
Her crushed chest was horrifying, and blood kept trickling from the corners of her mouth.
"Mr. Raymond, please help me, or... or I’m going to die..." The woman said in agony.
Seeing her condition, I couldn’t help but frown.
"She’s really going all out, hurting herself like that?" I couldn’t help but sneer inwardly.
Just as I was about to refuse, another figure appeared at the doorway.
It was none other than Alberto Sean.
"Tsk tsk, Mason, you really are heartless. Someone’s begging for your help, and you’re not even fazed?" Alberto spoke mockingly.
I glanced at him and said, "If you can’t stand it, go ahead and help her yourself."
Alberto shrugged and said, "I can’t. She’s asking for you, not me."
"Tsk tsk, isn’t there someone who claims to stand with ordinary people? Now that someone needs help, you stay unmoved – what a hypocrite." Alberto kept mocking.
Hearing this, I slowly got to my feet.
I looked at the woman and narrowed my eyes, saying, "I’ll give you one shot. Tell me, who sent you?"
The woman’s eyes flashed with panic, and she quickly said, "No one... no one sent me..."
From her reaction, I became more sure of my suspicions.
I looked at the wound on her chest and said seriously, "Being so brutal to yourself, watch out you don’t end up killing yourself in the process."
Hearing my words, the woman clenched her teeth and lowered her head slightly.
After thinking for a moment, I said, "You go ahead, I’ll be there soon."
The woman nodded eagerly and said, "Thank you, Mr. Raymond!"
After the woman left, I walked straight out the door.
"Tsk tsk, your sympathy is overflowing, huh?" Seeing that I’d agreed to help, Alberto taunted me again.
I glanced at him and said, "Why has your asshole grown onto your face? Stay away from me, you reek."
Alberto’s face suddenly turned cold.
He snorted, "You crude animal."
I didn’t bother responding to Alberto, instead turning around and leaving the mansion, heading straight for the Martial Arts Academy.
——
In the woods.
Ms. Zackary was staring coldly at the woman.
"Half an hour has gone by, where is he?" Ms. Zackary’s voice was freezing.
The woman quickly said, "Ms. Zackary, he really said he’d be here soon, please... wait a little longer."
However, Ms. Zackary spoke impatiently, "You stupid woman, did he trick you again?"
"No... no, he really promised me..." The woman’s face flashed with panic.
Ms. Zackary squinted her eyes.
Just as she was about to speak, she sensed someone approaching them.
"He’s here." A cold smile appeared on Ms. Zackary’s face.
Shortly after, a figure appeared before them.
——
"Ms. Zackary, he’s here!" The woman exclaimed excitedly.
Without saying a word, Ms. Zackary just quietly stared at me in the distance.
"Ms. Zackary, please don’t forget the bloodline you promised me." The woman said carefully.
Ms. Zackary looked at her and then smiled, "Don’t worry, I won’t forget, naturally."
As her words ended, Ms. Zackary suddenly extended her claw-like hand, striking the woman’s head!
With a "crack" sound, the woman’s head was crushed!
"A mere nobody wanting the bloodline? What a ridiculous fantasy." Ms. Zackary spoke menacingly.
Seeing this, I shook my head helplessly.
I had already warned her, but her own greed ultimately caused her death.
"You really are ruthless. Aren’t you worried this will damage your reputation?" I looked at Ms. Zackary and said coldly.
Ms. Zackary calmly replied, "You’re the one who killed her. Why should I worry?"
"Mason Raymond took advantage of a female student and killed her to hide his crimes." With her hands behind her back, Ms. Zackary spoke casually.
