Chapter 1044
"Brother, why are we here?" Flynn could not help but ask.
"Check out who that is." Henry stretched out his hand and pointed to a young man, who had about
six men following him as he swaggered in the ghost market, as if he was a king on patrol.
Flynn frowned. "Tucker? That''s Dalton Croy''s follower."
"Correct." Henry said, "ording to the information I''ve collected, Tucker has been given the role of
Dalton''s follower for the selection tomorrow. Dalton focuses on quality over quantity, plus he is very
wary of others. Although the rules stated no more than 10 followers are allowed, Dalton only had six
in total, and he was very confident with the strength of those six followers. It was true that his
followers were more powerful than the followers of other contenders, but he could never afford to
lose a single one of them."
Flynn''s eyes sparkled, and he said, "I get it now, brother. You intend to cripple Tucker in advance so
that he can''t participate in the selection tomorrow?"
Henry snapped his fingers and said, "You are only half right. Follow me."
Tucker and his men swaggered around the ghost market, picking up something to have a look and
kicking something else aside every once in a while. Many stall owners were very unhappy with his
behaviour, but no one dared to show it. After all, the power Tucker possessed was clear as day.
In addition, many knew that Tucker had been chosen to be Dalton''s follower, and Dalton was the
disciple of Hebor. Once the selection ended, Dalton would be the next bishop. Tucker''s status
would naturally rise as well, If they offended him now, they would find themselves in deep water
when he came to them for paybacks.
Henry and Flynn trailed behind Tucker. He was obviously in a good mood and had drank a good
amount of alcohol.
"Hey, sweetie,e over and chat a bit with me." Tucker said as he faced a pretty goldenhaired
lass, as he daringly reached to grab her with both hands.
The prettydy dodged away from Tucker''s hands. She wanted to show her anger, but she did not
dare to do so.
"F*ck you for trying toy a hand on my sister!" Henry, who had been tailing Tucker, roared at the
sight of the situation. He sprinted forward and punched Tucker right in the head.
Flynn, who was following behind Henry, was stunned. "What''s going on?" He thought.
The golden-hairedss stood unmoving with surprise. She did not remember having an elder
brother like him.
Henry''s punch was neither too light nor too heavy. It was just enough to make Tucker''s head throb
with pain without sustaining any serious injuries.
The arrogant Tucker could not stand such humiliation. He took a look at Henry and yelled, "F*ck him
up!"
The few men who followed behind Tucker rushed at Henry immediately.
Henry turned to run away, not saying anything more.
"Get him!" Tucker roared, then took the lead to chase after him.
By the time Flynn came to his realisations, Henry and Tucker as well as his men had already
disappeared from his sight.
Flynn suddenly understood Henry''s intentions. There were too many people around them, it was
clear that it was not a good ce to take out Tucker. He intended to first lead Tucker to an empty
spot.
Flynn simply remained at his spot. About ten minutester, he saw Henry return with a rxed look
on his face.

"Let''s go. I''ve got it settled. Now let''s continue on to the next step." Henry dusted off his hands, then
pulled something out of his pocket and handed it to Flynn.
When Flynn saw it, a weirded out expression showed on his face. "A skin mask?"
"I specifically ordered it made to fit over your face. Cost me a bomb, don''t you ruin it," Henry said as
he pulled out another skin mask and put it over his face. The one Henry used this time was not the
one he had used on the trial ind, this time he put on a younger mask, the same went for Flynn.
The skin masks used by the both of them made them look very ordinary, preventing them from
standing out from the crowd.
"Let''s go. I''ll take you for some fun." Henry strode into a private club with Flynn, after taking a quick
scan of the ghost market.
"Brother, what are you..." Flynn still could not figure out what Henry was nning to do.
"I''m helping to find a brother you could count on. You''d just have to rely on him for tomorrow''s
selection." Henryughed out loud. "From now on, my name is Syl. As for you,e up with a
name for yourself."
Flynn looked into the mirror at the entrance and saw that his face that had turned into an asian-
looking face. He reached out and touched the golden hair on his head and said, "You can call me
Master Leng."
"Master Leng..." That name rendered Henry speechless. "Well then, what do you know about the
culture of Yan Xia?"
Flynn replied with a hollowugh and said, "Brother, I''ve been fond of the culture of Yan Xia since I
was a child. I used to secretly cross the firewall to y that online dancing game that was really
popr in Yan Xia. I even sent public messages in the Donghua server."
Henry gulped and gave Flynn a thumbs-up. This "Mr. Leng" admittedly left him confused.
There was nothing else other than an entrance hall on the first floor of the private club. A wide
marble staircase greeted Henry and Flynn. At the very top of the stairs was a door, in front of which
stood two strong looking dark-skinned men.
As soon as Henry and Flynn arrived at the door, they were stopped by the two men.
"This is a private area."
"That private area is exactly where we''d like to be." Henry smiled, and a surge of energy condensed
in his hand.
The two men immediately put down their arms that blocked Henry after a single nce, allowing
Henry and Flynn to enter.
Henry threw a nce at Flynn and then strode into the door.
As soon as they went through the door, Henry and Flynn felt that they had entered a bar, it was
filled with restaurant style booths, most of them had already been upied. People sat around and
chatted with each other, mostly talking about topics within the Recluse Association, such as who
achieved what, or how theirdies were doing. When it came to men, all they talked about were
women and status, on the other hand women just talked about matters of women and men, just like
it was in the modern world.
Whether or not one practiced Qi only had to do with how powerful one was. Deep down, everyone
was still, after all, human.
Henry and Flynn came to a booth and sat down. Soon enough, a blond beauty with a luscious figure
came over with a menu and asked if they needed anything.
Henry nced at the menu and said, "Don''t you have anything exciting here?"
The blonde beauty paused, and a puzzled expression formed across her face. "Exciting? Sir, I don''t
quite understand what you''re talking about."
Henry curled his lips and said, "I heard from Dalton that he''s got the good stuff. Looks like it was all
just talk. It''s alright, I''ll be leaving."
Henry looked ready to get up and leave.
The blond beauty quickly grabbed Henry''s clothes and said, "I see, so you are Lord Dalton''s guest.
Haha, we do have something exciting, seeing that you are Lord Dalton''s guest. This way, please."
The blond beauty''s hips swayed as she moved enchantingly, leading Henry and Flynn to a corner.
A secret door was hidden in the corner. The blonde beauty pushed the door open but did not step
in. She only made a weing gesture at the door and said, "I hope you both have a great time."
"Haha, of course we will." Henryughed and swaggered in with Flynn, exactly like Tucker when he
visited the ghost town earlier.
