Chapter 521: You Bastard
“Patric Harris!”
Before Sean could respond, Pastiff couldn’t bear it. A treasure like Sean was obtained by him using a Confluence Pill, which hadn’t taken effect yet. Naturally, he couldn’t let Sean get into trouble before the upcoming academy-wide martial arts competition!
So!
Pastiff glared angrily at Patric Harris and rebuked, “This is an academy, no nonsense allowed!”
“Nonsense?”
Patric Harris looked at Pastiff, unyielding, and sneered, “Lord Pastiff, disciples of the academy can challenge each other face to face, a fair duel. As long as both parties are willing, even a fight to the death is in line with the academy’s rules!”
“Is that so?”
Pastiff’s expression became even more grim!
Buddha Academy had numerous disciples, most of whom came from major families within and outside the capital. These families had their own forces, and the relationships between them were intricate!
So!
Many disciples’ families had grievances and entanglements with each other, inevitably leading to hostility. Buddha Academy was merely a place of study and didn’t want to get involved in the struggles between major families!
Therefore!
Buddha Academy indeed had very clear regulations. As long as the challenging parties were willing, and the disputes between them were resolved through a fair duel, even if it was a fight to the death, it was allowed by the academy and wouldn’t be interfered with!
It was precisely because of this that Patric Harris had stepped forward, attempting to seek revenge openly and in the presence of everyone!
“Hehe!”
As Patric Harris finished speaking, a light laugh accompanied by an elderly man walking towards them. As he walked, he said, “Brother Gai, sparring and exchanging ideas among disciples is a good thing. Without fighting, one cannot know one another. It can help each other and perhaps even resolve grievances. They are young and vigorous, at the age of impetuosity. Since they have met and want to fight, let them do so!”
“Moreover!”
“Mr. Great’s recent fame is widespread, and his achievement of ninety-nine meters has shaken the North Kingdom. There are probably more than just Patric Harris who want to challenge him. It’s impossible to stop it!”
With that!
The old man glanced at Patric Harris, changed the subject, and continued, “However, the academy-wide martial arts competition is imminent. It is not timely for a fight to the death. In my opinion, it’s better to only determine the winner and loser, and the fight should end when one side voluntarily admits defeat!”
Upon hearing this!
Including Sean, everyone was stunned!
“Who is this person?”
Sean didn’t recognize the sudden appearance of this elderly man, but he could tell that the man exuded an extremely formidable aura, just like the brothers Hastiff and Pastiff, a practitioner at the half-step bright energy level!
“Hendricks Carter!”
Kazimir whispered to Sean, who was standing beside him, “The current leader of the Carter family in the capital!”
“Similar to the Harris family, the Carter family is also one of the top families in the capital. Hendricks Carter holds the position of Lord at the headquarters, sitting on an equal footing with Lord Pastiff, both being practitioners at the half-step bright energy level!”
“And Hendricks Carter’s elder brother, Lucifer Carter, is a renowned general with great achievements, nearing eighty years old and still formidable!”
“Unfortunately…”
“In the previous national war with the Shirine Empire, General Carter met with misfortune and was killed by General Wolf Sean of the Shirine Empire in the battlefield!”
“Therefore!”
“Now, the Carter family is solely led by Hendricks Carter. General Carter’s death greatly damaged the prestige of the Carter family, and their status has declined. This academy-wide martial arts competition is related to the selection of the academy’s head, and Hendricks Carter probably wants to seize this opportunity to take the position of the head and reverse the decline of the Carter family!”
“Mr. Great’s sudden rise is the biggest variable in the academy-wide martial arts competition!”
So!
“By coming out to support Patric Harris at this time, Hendricks Carter obviously wants to use Patric Harris to prevent Mr. Great from participating in the academy-wide martial arts competition…”
The Carter family!
Lucifer Carter!
Hearing Kazimir’s introduction, Sean was suddenly startled, unable to contain his surprise!Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Damn!
It’s really a small world. To think that he could encounter his enemies everywhere. First, it was the Harris family, and now it’s the Carter family. Andrew Harris died at the hands of Cecilia, and Lucifer Carter was killed by Sean!
Damn it!
Whether the Harris family or the Carter family, both are superpowers within the capital of the North Kingdom. If they were to find out that the “Great Ape” standing before them at this moment is their enemy General Wolf Sean, it’s hard to imagine whatkind of expression they would have and what kind of reaction they would make?
Good grief!
They would definitely rush forward immediately, wanting to tear Sean apart and crush him, wouldn’t they?
Sean was speechless!
What terrible luck!
What Sean didn’t know was that during his five-year presence on the battlefield in the North Kingdom, he had made a name for himself, having killed numerous enemies. Among those North Kingdom generals and soldiers that were killed by him, many were descendants of the major families. At this moment, members of those families were standing among the vast crowd, waiting to see the show!
So!
Once Sean’s true identity was exposed, those who bore grudges against him and wanted to crush him wouldn’t just be members of the Harris family and the Carter family.
There’s no way around it!
Because the North Kingdom and the Shirine Empire have always been hostile, with constant warfare. From the moment Sean stepped into the territory of the North Kingdom, he was already considered to be deep in enemy territory, constantly surrounded by enemies!
“Patric Harris!”
After Hendricks Carter finished speaking, he asked Patric Harris, “What do you think of my proposal?”
“Well…”
Patric Harris hesitated for a moment. Meeting Hendricks Carter’s gaze, he seemed to understand something. So, he nodded and said, “I agree! As long as Great Ape admits defeat voluntarily, I guarantee not to kill him!”
Indeed!
Not killing him, but maiming or disabling him should be fine, right?
Patric Harris wasn’t stupid. He naturally understood Hendricks Carter’s intentions. So, he simply cooperated with Hendricks Carter, singing a duet. They would maim Sean, preventing him from participating in the upcoming academy-wide martial arts competition. In this way, Patric Harris would let off steam, and Hendricks Carter would achieve his goal, a win-win situation for both.
“Mr. Great!”
Immediately, Hendricks Carter turned to Sean and asked, “Are you willing to accept my proposal?”
“Mr. Great, no!” Betty Jefferson grabbed Sean’s arm, shaking her head, reminding him, “Absolutely not, do not agree to them.”
“Are you Lords?” Sean wrapped his arm around Betty Jefferson’s slender waist, gently patting it twice for comfort. Then, he glanced at Hendricks Carter, nodded, and said, “Your proposal is good, very fair.”
At this statement, Hendricks Carter and Patric Harris both showed delight, while Hastiff, Pastiff, Betty Jefferson, and Kazimir all felt a sudden tension.
“Well…” However, just as Hendricks Carter was about to continue, Sean didn’t give him the chance to speak. He shook his head and said, “However, I am not interested in your proposal.”
“You!” Hendricks Carter’s smile, just blossomed, instantly froze on his face!
Patric Harris angrily said, “You dare?”
“Of course, I dare!” Sean looked at Patric Harris with disdain, saying, “Unfortunately, you are not worthy of challenging me. If you want to challenge me, it seems I would lose face by accepting it, wouldn’t I?”
“…” Patric Harris’s face darkened, gritting his teeth, he asked, “Then tell me, what would make you accept my challenge?”
“It’s quite simple!” Sean seemed to have already decided on the conditions, so he said without hesitation, “Why don’t you, in front of everyone, kneel down and kowtow to me three times, begging me?”
“As long as you kneel down and beg me, I will accept your challenge, reluctantly step forward, and personally teach you a lesson on behalf of the ancestors of the Harris family!”
“What do you think?”
Whoosh! The crowd erupted! Whether it was disciples from the headquarters, or those from the various branch locations across the North Kingdom, including Hastiff, Pastiff, and Hendricks Carter, everyone was shocked once again by Sean’s words!
Damn!
He’s shameless!
Conversely, the disciples from Plainwater Town branch seemed more composed, as if they were already used to it, unfazed. Ken turned to Chan, shrugged, and said in disbelief, “Compared to his talent and strength, his audacity and shamelessness are what truly impress me!”
Chan could only respond, “This guy is trouble; the headquarters will likely become lively!”
Indeed! The Grand Martial Arts Gathering brought together all the elite disciples of the Buddha Academy, making it already a grand event. With Sean’s appearance, it was only going to get even more lively!
Boom! Hearing the discussions around them and feeling the mocking gazes, how could Patric Harris endure it? Accompanied by a loud noise, the powerful dark energy within him completely erupted. Regardless of whether Sean accepted his challenge or not, he leaped forward like a fierce tiger, directly charging at Sean!
A punch! He aimed at Sean’s head, angrily shouting, “You bastard! I want your life!”
The situation was sudden! For a late-stage practitioner of dark energy like Patric Harris, a distance of less than five meters was almost instantaneous. Before the insult could even fully form, he had already pounced on Sean!
Seeing this, everyone’s hearts trembled!
“Outrageous!” However, before Sean had to act, at the moment of Patric Harris’s violent attack, Kazimir, standing beside Sean, let out a cold snort. Then, his dark energy erupted, and he stepped forward to stand in front of Sean, raising a fist to meet Patric Harris!
Boom! As a lecturer from the Plainwater Town branch, Kazimir was a proficient practitioner of dark energy, so dealing with Patric Harris was naturally well within his capabilities. With one punch, he sent the charging Patric Harris flying!
However! This was in front of the headquarters’ gate, and Patric Harris’s status was not insignificant. Therefore, Kazimir showed restraint, only repelling Patric Harris with a punch, without intending to harm him!
Thud! Patric Harris flew back several meters, taking three more steps back to steady himself after landing, his already gloomy face becoming even more unsightly!
“I’ll say it again!” Pastiff stepped forward, his face stern, and thundered, “This is the academy; no unruly behavior is allowed! Since Mr. Great does not accept the challenge, it is a private fight!”
“This!” “It does not comply with the rules of the academy!!!”
Currently holding the moral high ground, Pastiff was naturally righteous and imposing. Even Hendricks Carter, infuriated, couldn’t come up with a rebuttal!
“Betty, let’s go!” Sean held Betty Jefferson and said to Pastiff, “Lord Pastiff, we have traveled for a day, weary from the journey. We would like to rest in our rooms. Lord Pastiff, could you please guide us to our accommodations?”
“Of course,” Pastiff nodded, and led Sean and the others into the headquarters.
As they turned to leave, Sean glanced at Patric Harris, his proud and arrogant gaze seemed to say: You want to challenge me? Want to beat me? Want to kill me? I won’t fight you, you bastard!
Not only will I not fight you, but I’m also going to take your fiancée to the room for some intimate activities, worth a thousand gold coins. It would infuriate you, you bastard!
Disagree? Then come and bite me!
Tsk tsk tsk… The smug expression on Sean’s face was beyond infuriating!
