Chapter 112


    There were too many legends in Faike, all of whom were rted to martial arts, such as Faike''s


    Florian ine, Wilbur Idun, Phantom Kick, and more.


    It was precisely because Faike was a ce martial artists flourished that so many outstanding


    geniuses emerged from generation to generation.


    Still, putting aside the martial arts legends of Faike, the ce in itself was also a prosperous city.


    After three hours of high-speed driving, Jonathan and the others finally arrived at Faike.


    Preparations for the Golden Sword Tournament were almost finished, and the atmosphere was lively.


    Yet, rtively speaking, thepetition was not being held with great fanfare.


    On the surface, ordinary citizens of Faike did not know about this event. There were also no banners


    weing martial artists.


    All the martial artists and contestants were arranged to stay in Pearl Hotel, a five-star hotel.


    For the tournament, the organizers had bought out the entire hotel.


    Jonathan and Polly were given separate standard rooms. Meanwhile, Jessica, Yasmine, and Amber


    were also assigned rooms. This was all thanks to Morgan.


    Originally, Morgan wanted Jessica to rest at his home. However, she preferred to be with Yasmin and


    the others. Since Morgan doted on his granddaughter, he naturally let her do as she pleased.


    The group arrived at Pearl Hotel first.


    There was a person from the Golden Sword Tournament there that was responsible for the reception.


    Jonathan and his group first received their room cards at the organizer''s office in the lobby, then went


    to their rooms to put down their luggage.


    Pearl Hotel had an artificial hot spring pool, so they could naturallye and soak in the hot spring at


    night. However, it was still early, barely even one o''clock in the afternoon.


    The group was a little hungry, so they put their belongings away in their rooms and went out to eat


    together.


    Faike had a tropical climate; the weather was still sunny even though it was almost December,


    warming people''s hearts.


    Jonathan wore white sportswear and a pair of sneakers, appearing exceptionally refreshing. His


    buzzcut also made him look very energetic. As for Yasmin and the other girls, they were all dressed


    fashionably.


    All of them left Pearl Hotel together.


    As soon as Jessica got into the car, she said, “Now that we''re in Faike, we have to try their cordon


    bleu, chicken wings, pasta, and panna cotta. Otherwise, we would havee to Faike for nothing.


    Come on. I''ll take you guys on an eating spree today.”


    Amber was slightly surprised. “Isn''t Faike''s Temptation the most famous dish in here?”


    On the side, Jonathan could not help butugh. “You''re so ignorant, Amber. Faike''s Temptation is


    actually a dish from Feston. It has nothing to do with Faike.”


    The woman instantly blushed.


    Of course, these were just pleasant hups.


    Jessica was quite familiar with Faike, so she soon took everyone to a sophisticated Chanaean


    restaurant with traditional decor. There were not many guests at this time. All the servers wore formal


    suits. If one looked carefully, one would notice that every female server had the looks of an air


    stewardess.


    When Jonathan''s group arrived, the servers were utterly enthusiastic and attentive.


    The group found a random table in the hall and sat down. Jonathan raised his head and nced


    through the menu on the wall. As soon as he did so, he immediately understood why this restaurant


    was not doing so well.


    It was because the price of the food here was practically exorbitant.


    A casual meal was estimated to cost seven to eight thousand.


    It was definitely in the high-end consumption bracket. Middle-ss people would hardly be able to


    afford to dine here.


    It was no wonder the servers were so good-looking.


    Naturally, Jonathan did not care too much about that either. He was very insensitive to money.


    After that, Jessica ordered the food with familiar ease. A server poured coffee for the group as they


    chatted casually while drinking.


    Needless to say, the main topic was the Golden Sword Tournament.


    Polly said in a low voice, “Jonathan, I''ve asked Old Mr. Hayes about it. Strikezone Martial Arts sent


    Leonardo to participate this time. There''s also another contestant called Jareth Sullivan. He carries the


    Sullivan name, so his cultivation is definitely not simple.”


    Jonathan agreed, “My guess is that Strikezone Martial Arts will be bringing Jareth out as the grand


    finale. Of course, they''ll still hope for Leonardo to kill me so they can finally be relieved. However, if he


    fails, then it''ll be Jareth who takes up the torch.”


    “You''re quite perceptive. That''s what I think as well,” remarked Polly.


    Jonathan nodded. “Still, we can''t just fix our eyes on Strikezone Martial Arts. As far as I know, there


    really are quite a number of amazing talents in this tournament. For example, Little Martial Sage,


    Lucian Yandell, is only twenty years old, yet he''s practicing Peacock King Strike. His father, Peacock


    King, is extremely impressive. Lucian must havee here for the Golden Sword.”


    “That''s right. There''s also Hector Cook from Coldbridge. He already has the air of a Shadow Punch


    master,” stated Polly.


    Jonathan said, “Moreover, the two who came from Jetroina—Braxton Sable and Skyler Yoder—are


    also ambitious. These two Jetroinians are both around twenty-two, but they still dare to join the


    tournament despite knowing that all the participants are masters of actualbat. It''s enough to prove


    that their cultivation is extraordinary.”


    Jessica, Amber, and Yasmin listened with fear and trepidation.


    Yasmin asked worriedly, “Then, won''t it be dangerous for you guys this time?”


    Jonathan grinned in response. “Apetition will only be interesting this way. It''ll be an actual battle


    between the elites. If these people didn''te, the Golden Sword Tournament would be too boring.”


    Thedies immediately felt his strong fighting spirit.


    It gave them a little peace of mind.


    This restaurant was called Lucent Garden. Their dishes were exquisite, so the serving speed was a


    little slow.


    The group chatted as they waited for the food, and the atmosphere was veryfortable.


    Before long, another group of guests came in.


    This group of guests was quite unique. There were a total of five young men, all of whom were


    Jetroinians.


    Furthermore, all five of them were cultivation experts.


    Jonathan and Polly nced over and were secretly shocked upon closer observation.


    At the same time, the former recognized two of the youths.


    Those two were the Jetroinian experts who would bepeting—Braxton and Skyler.


    The duo was too eye-catching. Jonathan recognized them because he had done his homework in


    advance and got their information.


    Braxton looked only about twenty years old. His face seemed like it was sculpted, making him appear


    refined and breathtaking. Dressed in a white casual shirt, he looked like a fictional protagonist standing


    under a cherry blossom tree.


    Braxton breathed faintly and appeared extremely delicate. However, the truth was that he was merely


    being humble. Jonathan had sharp eyes, so he guessed that Braxton''s cultivation was at least at the


    peak of Neutralizing Force.


    Moreover, it was very likely that Braxton had cultivated a secret breathing skill, which allowed him to


    control his breathing impressively.


    As for Skyler, he also seemed to be in his twenties.


    He had a crew cut, sharp and piercing eyes, and looked strong as well.


    Simrly, this guy''s cultivation also seemed to be at the peak of Neutralizing Force. His entire person


    was like a sharp de. It was like a look from him was enough to make people bleed. This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.


    As for the other three youths who followed them, they were all in the early stages of Neutralizing Force.


    Evidently, they were here to support Braxton and Skyler. In other words, they were bodyguards. After


    all, the duo was here to challenge Chanaean martial artists. If they killed a Chanaean martial artist,


    Chanaea would definitely take revenge and injure the two during battle. It would be dangerous if there


    were no one to protect them at that time.


    Jonathan and Polly were not too surprised at the arrival of this group of Jetroinians. They were all here


    to participate in the Golden Sword Tournament, so it was not unusual to bump into each other.


    However, an incident immediately urred.


    As Jonathan and Polly had studied them for a long time, one of the young Jetroinian bodyguards


    instantly red back coldly, cursing at them in hisnguage.


    Even though Jonathan and his group did not understand thenguage, they knew that it wasn''t


    anything pleasant from his tone.


    Jonathan was not a good-tempered man, so he looked at the bodyguard and smiled before cursing in


    his ownnguage, “Hey, idiot, did you eat sh*t this morning?”


    The Jetroinian bodyguard assumed Jonathan was apologizing and replied in Jetroinese, “That''s more


    like it.” Then, he sat down.


    Seeing this, Jessica and the others could not help but snicker in unison.


    That Jetroinian bodyguard was called Hiroshi Ida. After sitting down, he bragged to hispanions in


    Jetroinese, “Those Chanaean pigs are all cowards. I just yelled at them a little, and they quickly


    apologized. Is that guy even a man? If it were the Yamato n, they''d have taken up their swords and


    fought to the death.”


    The other Jetroinian bodyguards roared withughter at his words.


    However, Braxton stated coldly, “Hiroshi, if I were you, I would be ashamed of myself.”


    Hiroshi did not dare to offend Braxton. He froze and asked awkwardly, “Why do you say that, Braxton?”


    Braxton''s face was expressionless as he said indifferently, “First of all, your behavior is a disgrace to


    the Yamato n. This is very uneducated behavior. Secondly, that Chanaean man did not apologize to


    you. He called you an idiot and asked if you ate sh*t this morning. Thirdly, don''t try to fight him because


    you''re no match for him.”


    Hiroshi''s face instantly turned red with shame, and anger shed in his eyes. He could not hold back


    his rage and snapped, “Braxton, I must seek my revenge!”


    Braxton said impassively, “You''re not here to cause trouble. Faike is a ce where Chanaean


    martial artists are prevalent. There are many experts here, and as I''ve said, you''re no match for that


    man. If you''re determined to take revenge, we won''t lift a finger. You can go ahead and make a fool of


    yourself as you wish.”


    Hiroshi immediately crumpled. He, too, was aware of the limits of his capabilities without the support of


    hispanions.


    Right then, Jonathan''s group''s food was served.


    The dishes were vibrant and looked mouth-watering at first nce.


    The group was already hungry, so they immediately dug in merrily.


    The meal was not disturbed by the Jetroinians. Although the food here was expensive, it was incredibly


    sumptuous.


    Thus, they had a great time here.


    Meanwhile, the Jetroinians'' table was also served, and they ate in a low-profile manner.


    Interestingly, Braxton and the others were all fighters and ate very quickly. Hence, they finished eating


    at about the same time as Jonathan''s group.


    After eating, Jessica called for the bill. A server came over and said, “The total is twelve thousand eight


    hundred and eighty-eight. You can just pay twelve thousand.”


    Jessica took her card out. “I''ll pay with card.”


    “Sure!” the server responded.


    This group had no problems with paying the bill. However, on the other side, the Jetroinians suddenly


    exploded. One of the bodyguards named Yano was hot-tempered and flipped the table over. He cursed


    furiously in rusty Chanaeannguage, “What dish costs ten thousand? Do you think we Jetroinians are


    stupid and easy to bully?”
