Chapter 184 up with a Bane silently crouched down and examined Tracias body .


    After a moment , he stood grim expression and said , She mustve encountered a skilled martial artist .


    What kind of master could kill a Rhodes family security chief ? Michael demanded angrily .


    Bane remained silent for a moment , his face unusually grave .


    At the very least , someone on the level of a junior grandmaster or maybe even a full grandmaster .


    He continued , The ability to kill Tracia with a single punch is leagues beyond those amateurs who had just learned the basics .


    Come on , Bane , you cant be serious , Michael said in horror .


    How could there be a grandmaster hiding in this ce ? To Michael , a grandmaster was practically a living legend someone even the Rhodes family would show respect .


    In his mind , those figures were untouchable , being able to kill others without breaking a sweat.


    Bane snapped , I never joke about such a matter .


    She died at the hands of at least a junior grandmaster .


    Bane , you dont think Lauren hired them , do you ? Michael asked nervously .


    Bane shot him a contemptuous look , Dont be stupid .


    If she had ess to such a master , would she have let Tracia drag , her into these woods , waiting for us ? This must have been a backup that arrivedter .


    Check if any Rhodes family elites were in the area .


    Definitely not , Michael quickly replied .


    If there was anyone in our family to deploy someone of that caliber , it could only be Mr.


    Rhodes Senior .


    Only he has that level of authority .


    Bane was puzzled .


    Thats strange .


    Could Lauren have some powerful ally we dont know about ? Andrew ! It has to be that pretty boy Andrew .


    That damn bastard ! Michael burst out through gritted teeth .


    Bane stared at him in disbelief before scoffing .


    Thats nonsense ! Dont underestimate him , Bane , Michael insisted , clearly haunted by past encounters .


    Hes repeatedly foiled my ns and saved Lauren .


    Who else could have ruined our careful rtning ? Bane mocked , Mr.


    Rhodes , that guy has really gotten into your head .


    Even Tracia alone wouldve been too much for him .


    Dont tell me you think hes a junior grandmaster .


    If that were true , you should pack your bags , leave Rhodes Corporation , and beg Lauren for mercy .


    Bane genuinely thought Michael was paranoid .


    A young man like Andrew could not possibly be anywhere near the level of a junior grandmaster .


    Bane , how would you fare against a junior grandmaster ? Michael asked .


    Bane lifted his chin proudly .


    Im skilled in both medicine and martial arts , and I wouldnt back down from a fight with a junior grandmaster .


    However , it depends on the situation .


    Unless absolutely necessard rather not face one .


    If you encounter such a martial artist , theres only one thing to do .


    Whats that ? Michael asked instinctively .


    Bane replied with deadly seriousness , Run for your life !
