Chapter 3036 Too Weak (Part One)
It was in the provincial city of Hume Province.
Twilight had begun to settle over the courtyard of the Xu family''s vi in the quiet, protected area of the
city.
It was almost seven o''clock in the evening.
The yard was aze with light, however. Lamps, spotlights, and fires were lit to illuminate arge group
of people from the Xu family that were gathered there. Except, unlike before, there was no party. The
atmosphere was depressed and tense.
Along the outside of the courtyard, bodyguards in ck suits stood with their arms crossed over their
chests. They were standing so close to each other that no one would be able to slip through.
In the north side of the courtyard sat three old men who wore solemn expressions on their faces.
Through their half-closed eyes, they observed the people around them with gazes that were as sharp
as that of wolves.
The courtyard was brimmed with people all sitting facing these three elders. They were all silent, as if
afraid to even cough and show an ounce of disrespect.
Behind the three old men, more than one hundred people were sitting and waiting. They all looked
proud and arrogant, emitting an aura of aloofness. The nces they asionally spent on the other
people in the courtyard were always filled with disgust.
All the people present belonged to the Xu n from the southwest region of the country. Only
moments before, they had dismounted a ne and arrived at the courtyard and they were clearly
exhausted from their trip.
The rest of the people in the courtyard were from one of the Xu n''s branches in the capital city of
Hume Province. It was difficult for them to believe that such high figures were present and they couldn''t
stop gaping at them with admiration and awe.
Most of the local Xus couldn''t stop themselves from unleashing a giddy smile at their nsmen from
the southwest, as they wanted nothing more than to establish a close rtionship with their members
from their headquarters.
"It''s been almost four hours.
Are you sure that brat wille here today?"
an old man in a white robe suddenly said in a cold voice, breaking the incredible silence. His words
were paired with a cold re and tightly sped hands.
"Sir, he said he would only wait for one day.
He told us that if he doesn''t get to see the people of our nsmen from the headquarters in the
southwest after one day passes, he will kill all the Xu n members in the provincial city.
All the people from our branches in the capital city were present when he said those words. We all
heard that,"
an old man in his sixties replied while stepping forward and bowing slightly before the three elders. As
he stood straight again, his entire body was shaking.
"Yes, we all heard that clearly."
The rest of the Xu n members from the provincial capital nodded to back up the old man''s words. It
was their annual gathering of this year. All of them were expecting a feast, delicious wine and quality
fun time. However, this Austin guy ruined their party by showing up without invitation and killing their
current leader and his son and wife. And the horror didn''t stop there. This abominable young man even
threatened to kill them all! That was truly a nightmare for all of them.
"All right. I guess we can wait a little longer, but only for a few more hours. I need to sleep.
After all, I''d like to see who this bastard is. Any man that dares to provoke the Xus from the
headquarters in southwest must be dealt with!
The only way that he will learn is with a violent punishment, and even then, he may require more,"
the old man in the white robe added, sneering over the audience.
"Perhaps he was just bluffing and trying to create fear in us. It''s highly possible that he would chicken
out and run away.
After all, the Xu n in the southwest is a part of the Heavenly Mountain Sect now. No sects or martial
arts ns in today''s world would dare to openly provoke us, even the bigger ones. This I am positive
of,"
one of the three elders who was extremely fat and had a red face said with a confident smile.
"I think he''s right.
It''s been too long. If he wereing, he wouldn''t bete. He must be too afraid! Told you we didn''t
have to bring this many people to deal with an ignorant brat!"
The other two elders nodded to show their agreement.
As if on cue, a voice rang out over the murmurs of agreement.
"Would I be able to add my opinion on the matter?
I wouldn''t say I''m afraid or bluffing.
I would say that you think too highly of yourselves!"
All at once, every head turned towards the gate.
Standing among the bodyguards, dressed in casual sportswear, was Austin.

Without another word, he entered the courtyard with a measured stride, putting his hands behind his
back in a nonchnt manner.
"It''s him! It''s him! He''s arrived!"
a bunch of the Xu n''s members from the provincial capital shouted, pointing at Austin as if he were
a demonic beast.
Fear rippled through the Xu n''s members that were closest to the gate. They clearly recalled the
scene they had experienced the day before yesterday which was extremely terrifying.
Just as before, silence draped over the area. The sound of Austin walking towards the three elders
echoed through the air and all the while, no one''s eyes left his body.
They were confused because this man looked exceptionally ordinary.
There was not a trace of aura that an aggressive and fierce martial arts master should have and some
of them felt slightly disappointed.
"That''s him? This is the young man who was able to catch and ward a bullet back with his hands?
You''re sure about that?"
All the Xu n''s members from the headquarters in the southwest were wearing expressions of
suspicion on their faces. They couldn''t believe that Austin was special or a threat at all.
