A chill of deathly aura, a chance to save Amy Colossal’s life, earn the gratitude of North Kingdom’s Grandmaster, and elevate one’s own realm. This three-in-one stroke of good fortune was like a heavenly pie falling from the sky. Sean was more than happy, how could he possibly refuse?


    Just now, his feigned refusal was merely a deliberate attempt to scare the Grandmaster of North Kingdom!


    “Fortune favors me!”


    As Sean stepped out of the courtyard gate, a faint smile yed on his lips, outlining a sense of contentment. However, as Sean and the Grandmaster of North Kingdom had mentioned, the matter at hand was significant. With countless eyes watching their every move in the capital of North Kingdom, they had to proceed with utmost caution.


    Just like now…


    With Sean’s exceptional perception far surpassing the ordinary, he could clearly sense that tens of meters behind him, in the direction of eleven o’clock within a particr patch of flowers, two hidden sentinels were observing his every move. Undoubtedly, they were the men sent by Albert Sitwell!Content held by N?velDrama.Org.


    “Mr. Great!”


    Just at that moment, Pastiff returned, striding towards Sean with a smile, “You’re out so soon? How did the conversation with the Grandmaster go?”


    From Pastiff’s departure to his return, only about twenty minutes had passed!


    In truth, Pastiff wanted to ask what Sean and the Grandmaster had discussed. However, he refrained and opted for a more indirect approach. After all, with Sean bearing the moniker “Great Ape,” his tongue was as sharp as a machine gun. Asking the wrong questions would only invite trouble!


    “It was nothing!”


    Sean shook his head and said, “Just casual chat.”


    Indeed, although Sean was participating in the academy-wide martial artspetition under the banner of the inwater Town branch, he was not a disciple of that branch. Therefore, extracting the truth from him was not an easy task for Pastiff and Hastiff!


    So, Pastiff sighed and cautiously probed, “The Grandmaster, like an emperor, possesses a heart for talent, and is the soul figure of Buddha Academy, a role model for us all.”


    “Unfortunately!”


    “Due to unforeseen circumstances, Miss Colossal remains unconscious, and the Grandmaster has encountered this cmity. I hope that justice will prevail, clearing the Grandmaster’s name and allowing Miss Colossal to wake up soon…”


    Clearly, as Lords of Buddha Academy’s headquarters, Pastiff was well-acquainted with the situation of the Grandmaster of North Kingdom, understanding Amy Colossal’s condition. He also deduced that the Grandmaster’s invitation to Sean was rted to Miss Colossal!


    “Justice?”


    Sean nced up at the sky and said as he walked, “Compared to justice prevailing, I’d rather believe that man can triumph over fate.”


    Indeed!


    Survival under thew of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, dictates that might is right. For the weak, the strong are like gods, their words thew. Where does the concept of justice prevail?


    Therefore, only by making oneself stronger can one have a significant say!


    “Hehe!”


    Pastiff gave an awkward smile as he discerned that the man before him, known as “Great Ape,” was brimming with ambition. Fearless of anyone, it seemed futile to extract useful information from him!


    During the journey, they encountered several disciples of Buddha Academy. Upon seeing Sean, their expressions turned peculiar as they whispered and gestured, leaving Sean perplexed. Was it because of the “intimate” night with Betty Jefferson in the room yesterday?


    “I have already submitted your name for the academy-wide martial artspetition!”


    Pastiff exined, “It should be public by now. You, alone, will bepeting in the mid andte stages of dark energy, a situation that has only urred three times in the history of the academy-widepetition, inevitably leading to criticisms.”


    “Moreover!”


    “Among them, one person ranked eighth in the early stagepetition, failing to qualify for the high stage. The other two entered the top three of the early stagepetition, but unfortunately… did not make the top ten in the high stagepetition!”


    As per the rules of the academy-widepetition, only those who enter the top three of the early stages can qualify and have the opportunity topete in theter stages. Otherwise, all early stage disciples must participate in the high stagepetitions, causing a chaotic situation.


    Before the academy-widepetition, many disciples would deliberately suppress their own realms, as Chan did, in the hopes of achieving better results. Upon the conclusion of the early stagepetition, they could choose to breakthrough and challenge higher realms after achieving a top three ranking.


    However!


    Before Sean, only three others had attempted this!


    It was difficult!


    Too difficult!


    After all, deliberately suppressing one’s realm in the early stages allowed for sweeping strength. However, facing opponents after temporarily breaking through to higher realms posed a challenge. These opponents were also elite among the higher realms, reaching their peak in the early stages while deliberately suppressing their realms!


    How do youpete under such circumstances?


    “Is that so?”


    Sean nced at Pastiff and casually remarked, “I am not like them. I will im the top spot in the mid-stage of dark energy and do the same in thete stage as well.”


    “What I promised, I will deliver!”


    His voice was not loud, yet it carried an unparalleled confidence!


    “Good!”


    Pastiff paused for a moment, unable to resist extending his right hand, giving Sean a thumbs up. Full of anticipation, he said, “In that case, I’ll be looking forward to seeing Mr. Great shine in the academy-widepetition!”


    “There is one more thing…”


    Seemingly recalling something, Pastiff changed the subject and said, “I received information beforeing here. Patric Harris seems to have also registered and will be participating in tomorrow’s academy-widepetition!”


    “And he specifically wants to challenge you!”


    “A battle to the death!”


    “No backing down!”


    “I am well aware of Patric Harris’s strength, and among the advanced disciples in thete stage of dark energy, he is considered prominent. He should be able to rank in the top threepared to the branch disciples. ording to the rules of the academy-widepetition, headquarters disciples can challenge under the condition of mutual consent. For safety reasons, you can reject his challenge as you did yesterday evening. As long as you reject it, he can’t touch you!”


    Upon hearing this, Sean stopped in his tracks!


    Damn!


    It seemed that the intimate night with Betty Jefferson hadn’t gone to waste after all. That bastard Patric Harris had clearly been enraged and couldn’t resist trying to provoke his own demise!


    This was exactly what Sean had been waiting for!


    “Top three?”


    Sean snorted, his tone heavy as he said, “I’ve said it before. I’ll im the top spot in thete stage of dark energy, so why fear a mere top three?”


    “Therefore!”


    “When the timees, I will ept his challenge, and in front of everyone, I will defeat him honorably on the arena, proving to him that I not only can steal his woman but also take his life!”


    With that said, Sean strode into the building of the inwater Town branch, returning to his room!


    Hastiff, on the other hand, stood alone at the entrance of the building, his eyes fixed on Sean’s retreating figure. His pupils contracted violently, his heart trembling. He couldn’t help but wonder, what would happen if “Great Ape” publicly killed Patric Harris on the martial arts arena?


    How would the capital’s Harris family react?


    Perhaps…


    They would spare no effort in hunting down “Great Ape”?


    However!


    What Hastiff did not know was that Sean, whether indulging in intimacy with Betty Jefferson in the room or humiliating Patric Harris tantly outside the academy gates yesterday evening, was deliberately testing Patric Harris and his family, pushing their limits to make them act against him!


    If you don’t kill me, how can I bear to kill you?


    The moment Patric Harrisid a hand on him, it would be his death date!


    If the Harris family acted, it would mean the fall of the entire Harris family!!!
