00:00:00 Episode 261, Cremated Affair.

00:00:06 Eileen's expression was uncertain.

00:00:08 She wasn't sure how much Kevin knew about her relationship with Thomas.

00:00:12 If he only knew part of the story, she would have to tell him everything to save her daughter's

00:00:17 life.

00:00:18 She would have to lie to him, though.

00:00:20 She couldn't risk her affair getting around town.

00:00:23 However, she would be in danger if he knew the whole story.

00:00:27 She would have to deny it.

00:00:29 If Kevin ever got mad at her, he would have to use it against her.

00:00:33 Therefore, she was currently feeling conflicted.

00:00:37 "I know of him, but I'm not familiar with him, so I don't have his number."

00:00:43 After a moment of hesitation, she spoke up quietly.

00:00:46 "Besides, why are you asking for his number?

00:00:50 The people who just took Claire have nothing to do with him."

00:00:54 She looked at Kevin suspiciously.

00:00:57 She suddenly realized that he implied Thomas was responsible for her daughter's abduction.

00:01:02 "How do you know this has nothing to do with him?"

00:01:05 Kevin asked coldly.

00:01:06 "How would I know?

00:01:08 Thomas is an extreme coward.

00:01:10 He wouldn't even be brave enough to kill a bug.

00:01:13 There's no way he could kidnap anyone."

00:01:15 Eileen almost blurted it out.

00:01:18 After she finished her sentence, she immediately regretted it a little.

00:01:22 She seemed to have said the wrong thing.

00:01:24 "Weren't you unfamiliar with the man?

00:01:27 How do you know so much about his character?"

00:01:30 Kevin sneered coldly.

00:01:32 He had intentionally made a trap for Eileen to come forward, and she fell right into it.

00:01:38 "I was just assuming that…"

00:01:40 She tried her best to defend herself, but her heart was about to faint from regret.

00:01:46 She was tripped up by this piece of trash Kevin.

00:01:48 "You were guessing?"

00:01:50 He sneered.

00:01:51 "Eileen, don't treat everyone like a fool.

00:01:55 I have long known about the matter between you and Thomas.

00:01:58 The reason why I didn't say it was all out of respect for Claire and her father.

00:02:03 So don't try to lie to me.

00:02:06 Now I'll give you ten seconds to call Thomas martyr.

00:02:09 Otherwise, I will tell everyone about your affair, and I'll tell them everything."

00:02:15 "Don't threaten me.

00:02:17 I'll kill you."

00:02:19 Eileen panicked.

00:02:21 She didn't dare to gamble with Kevin.

00:02:23 She had everything to lose right now.

00:02:26 She took out her cell phone in a panic and dialed Thomas' number.

00:02:29 "Eileen, what's wrong?"

00:02:32 On the other end of the phone, Thomas' conservative voice sounded.

00:02:36 Eileen blushed, and anyone in earshot could tell by how he spoke to her that he had feelings

00:02:41 for her.

00:02:42 "Thomas, my daughter was kidnapped.

00:02:45 Did you do it?"

00:02:47 She went straight to the point.

00:02:49 If Thomas was responsible for this, then he must have some reason.

00:02:53 She wanted to hear what he had to say.

00:02:55 "Eileen, what do you mean?"

00:02:57 He sounded shocked.

00:02:58 "Your daughter was kidnapped?

00:03:00 Don't you know?"

00:03:02 She frowned and glanced at Kevin.

00:03:04 But she saw that her son-in-law was also frowning.

00:03:07 "Why should I?"

00:03:09 Thomas was surprised.

00:03:11 Eileen was speechless.

00:03:12 "Do you doubt me?"

00:03:14 He seemed to be angry.

00:03:15 "No.

00:03:16 Eileen, what do you mean?"

00:03:18 "I…

00:03:19 I didn't…"

00:03:20 She subconsciously denied it.

00:03:23 "No?

00:03:24 You're asking if I did it?"

00:03:26 He was a bit agitated.

00:03:27 "Eileen, do you think I kidnapped your daughter out of embarrassment and anger because you

00:03:32 didn't lend me any money a few days ago?

00:03:35 No, that's not it."

00:03:37 She denied it on the surface, but it had to be said that she had indeed suspected it.

00:03:43 That was the only reason she could think of why he would kidnap Claire.

00:03:46 "Stop quibbling.

00:03:48 Eileen, let me tell you.

00:03:50 I, Thomas Mortar, am a gambler.

00:03:53 I am indeed lacking in money.

00:03:55 If you suspect me, you can call the police right now and have them arrest me."

00:04:00 "Pah!"

00:04:01 He immediately hung up.

00:04:03 Eileen couldn't help but turn her gaze to Kevin and said angrily, "You piece of trash.

00:04:10 What else do you have to say for yourself?

00:04:13 My daughter's kidnapping has nothing to do with Thomas.

00:04:16 I can see that all of this is because of you.

00:04:19 You piece of trash acting on your own."

00:04:22 Her chest heaved up and down, obviously greatly angered.

00:04:28 Deep down in her heart, she wanted to frame Kevin for the kidnapping because he had mentioned

00:04:33 something about her being kidnapped earlier.

00:04:36 She didn't want anyone to know about her affair, and she could keep it quiet if she convinced

00:04:41 everyone that he was plotting against her.

00:04:44 Kevin frowned but did not say anything.

00:04:47 He had to admit that Thomas' reaction was beyond his expectations.

00:04:52 According to Nick's information, Thomas wanted to kidnap Claire for the sake of money.

00:04:58 Since he wanted money, he would openly admit his responsibility to Eileen so she could

00:05:03 pay the ransom.

00:05:04 Ultimately, he denied it and said he didn't know about it.

00:05:08 Did he not know anything, or was he faking it?

00:05:13 Everyone felt that the situation had become complicated and confusing.

00:05:18 From Aaron's description, it was obvious that the same people who broke into Rivers' vault

00:05:22 were responsible for taking Claire.

00:05:25 Among this group, all their descriptions were on point with the video footage from the bank.

00:05:30 It was not an exaggeration to say that these people must be much more powerful than many

00:05:35 in Sacramento.

00:05:36 They seemed to be fearless to foreigners.

00:05:39 Thomas was only a small gambler.

00:05:41 How could he be related to such power?

00:05:43 Would he still care about a ransom if he was related to such power?

00:05:47 If it wasn't Thomas, then who was it?

00:05:52 Kevin was somewhat agitated.

00:05:54 He had a few other enemies that would take his wife, but not many.

00:05:58 Some second-rate families in Sacramento, like the Kales and a few other people, would maybe

00:06:03 take Claire.

00:06:05 But there was his own family.

00:06:06 It could be the Bennets.

00:06:09 Thinking about it, Kevin knew there was a high chance that it could be the Bennets.

00:06:14 They were one of the only families he could think of that could have the resources and

00:06:18 power of these people.

00:06:20 But if it were them, then they would kidnap Claire.

00:06:23 Why would they touch Rivers' vault?

00:06:26 Why bother?

00:06:27 Or was it to cover it up?

00:06:31 Perhaps it was because he was too concerned about Claire, but at this moment, Kevin had

00:06:36 many thoughts.

00:06:37 The more he thought about it, the more his thoughts would fall into disarray.

00:06:42 Anyone standing by could see that Kevin was deep in his anxious thoughts.

00:06:47 After taking a deep breath, he shook his head and tried his best to calm down.

00:06:52 Call Thomas again and ask him where he is.

00:06:55 It was easy for him to verify that Thomas had nothing to do with this matter.

00:06:59 All he needed to do was to find someone else to do it for him.

00:07:03 "Trash, are you still putting on an act?

00:07:06 Thomas already told me this has nothing to do with him."

00:07:10 Eileen was slightly angry.

00:07:13 Kevin's expression turned cold.

00:07:15 "Don't talk nonsense.

00:07:16 I'm telling you to do something."

00:07:18 "You?" she gritted her teeth, in wish she could tear him apart.

00:07:24 However, she did not dare to oppose him at the moment.

00:07:29 He knew too much.

00:07:30 She took out her phone and dialed Thomas' number again.

00:07:36 EPISODE 262 Sibling Club

00:07:40 The phone you dialed has been shut down.

00:07:43 His phone is turned off.

00:07:45 Eileen waved her phone in front of Kevin.

00:07:47 He frowned and didn't say anything in return.

00:07:50 He couldn't help but still be suspicious about Thomas.

00:07:54 No matter what, he would ensure that Jared and River continued their search for him.

00:07:59 At the time, in the industrial district on the city's outskirts.

00:08:03 "Bro, why did you make Thomas lie to that bitch?

00:08:07 How can you ask for a ransom if you lie and say you don't know about it?"

00:08:11 Atticus asked in confusion.

00:08:13 Thomas, who was at the side, also had a puzzled expression.

00:08:18 He had already planned on threatening Eileen, but Dex made him deny the kidnapping.

00:08:24 Dex didn't pay any attention to his brother.

00:08:26 Instead, he turned his gaze towards Gavin and Bella, who had just returned with Claire.

00:08:32 "Gavin, you said that when you went there, they were waiting downstairs?"

00:08:36 He smiled.

00:08:37 "And big brother, that kid is quite skilled, and he also has a lot of fighting experience.

00:08:42 If it weren't for my training at the top level, I wouldn't have been able to beat him."

00:08:47 Dex's expression was slightly serious.

00:08:50 He knew all about how strong Gavin was.

00:08:53 In these years abroad, he had been fighting every day.

00:08:56 In terms of combat experience, Gavin had almost as much experience as himself.

00:09:02 It was easy to imagine how extraordinary this man, who had received such an evaluation from

00:09:07 someone so powerful, really was.

00:09:11 Even if the man wasn't as strong as Gavin was saying, he had to treat it seriously.

00:09:16 He had to think about who the person behind Aaron was.

00:09:20 "Bella, were there any other fighters that you think this man was working for?

00:09:24 Did he mention any other names?"

00:09:27 Dex asked.

00:09:28 "Nope."

00:09:29 Bella's expression was cold.

00:09:31 Compared to her brother, she was silent.

00:09:34 "Bella, why didn't you let me kill that kid?"

00:09:38 Gavin couldn't help but ask.

00:09:39 Originally, he wanted to kill Aaron in one move, but Bella had stopped him before he

00:09:45 could do anything.

00:09:46 "Did you forget what they said?"

00:09:48 She glanced at Gavin expressionlessly.

00:09:50 "Didn't forget.

00:09:52 It's just that my hands are itchy."

00:09:55 Before coming to Sacramento, Dex had told them not to kill anyone unless they had no

00:09:59 other option.

00:10:01 "Gavin, don't be so quick to murder."

00:10:04 Dex looked at him helplessly and said, "We all need to keep that in mind, in fact.

00:10:09 You must be sure to use your brains more than just brute force."

00:10:13 "Do you know why I made Thomas lie?"

00:10:16 Dex asked.

00:10:17 "I don't know."

00:10:18 Atticus and Dex shook their heads at the same time.

00:10:22 "I told him to lie because there's something wrong with Claire or her family."

00:10:27 "I can tell," he said.

00:10:30 "Dex, what's the problem?"

00:10:32 Thomas couldn't help but ask.

00:10:34 He sighed and said, "Tom, have you ever heard of a fighter?"

00:10:39 "A professional fighter?"

00:10:40 He was confused.

00:10:42 "Aren't professional fighters just in fairy tales?

00:10:44 Did they return to Sacramento?"

00:10:46 "Thomas, to tell you the truth, all of us, Gavin, Bella, Atticus, and myself, are all

00:10:55 professional fighters."

00:10:57 He slowly told Thomas about the martial arts world.

00:11:00 After hearing that, his eyes were wide open and disbelief was written all over his face.

00:11:06 He hadn't thought there would be a martial artist in this world, and according to what

00:11:10 Dex was saying, once a martial artist reached a certain level, they could be invulnerable

00:11:16 to weapons, water, fire, or even bullets.

00:11:20 In this world, the power and status that a professional fighter could have, after the

00:11:25 right amount of training, was more than any ordinary person could imagine.

00:11:30 At this time, his emotions were incredibly complicated.

00:11:35 He finally understood why the four Bennett siblings could still safely escape after killing

00:11:40 nearly a hundred people twenty years ago.

00:11:42 So they were fighters.

00:11:45 "Thomas, in this society, there are very few fighters.

00:11:49 It's precisely because there are so few that the status and position of martial artists

00:11:53 are much higher than that of normal people."

00:11:55 "That Claire?

00:11:57 She's just an ordinary person.

00:11:59 It's impossible for her to be acquainted with a professional fighter.

00:12:02 But when my brother and sister got there, there were professional fighters guarding

00:12:06 her building.

00:12:07 So she must have some connections."

00:12:11 After hearing Dex's words, Thomas immediately understood why he had made him lie.

00:12:16 "Thomas, what does Claire's father do?

00:12:19 Is it possible for him to know fighters?" he asked.

00:12:22 He had always been cautious when doing things and would never allow any unexpected factors

00:12:27 to occur.

00:12:28 "Impossible," Thomas shook his head and said.

00:12:32 "Dex, I know her father's a veteran.

00:12:35 The Wright family is really small, and they are only upper middle class.

00:12:39 And their family, I can't imagine anyone has any connections to the type of fighter

00:12:43 you're thinking about."

00:12:45 He was sure that Dex said that those who could afford to have a professional fighter guard

00:12:49 were at least first class families.

00:12:52 As for the Wrights, they weren't nearly powerful enough.

00:12:55 "You think it's impossible?"

00:12:58 Dex's frown deepened.

00:12:59 "Even if a fighter is acquainted with their family, they can't be sent to protect Claire.

00:13:05 Around three years ago, she married a worthless man.

00:13:08 Her family shunned her because her husband stayed home and delivered takeout.

00:13:12 Thomas was well aware of the situation within their family."

00:13:15 "Then what's going on?"

00:13:18 Dex felt a little uneasy.

00:13:20 He felt that something was not right.

00:13:23 "Sir, why are you thinking so much?

00:13:26 Didn't Gavin say already that he was more powerful than him?

00:13:29 He was at the beginning of his training, at the top level, and he could take on most fighters

00:13:34 he came in contact with.

00:13:35 If we ever encounter him again, we can send Gavin out after him," Atticus said loudly.

00:13:42 Dex shook his head.

00:13:43 "I'm not worried about the people they saw at the house.

00:13:46 What I'm worried about is the person in charge of the guard at the house.

00:13:51 Although there aren't many fighters in this city, it's not like there aren't any at all.

00:13:55 If we recklessly kill that person and make their boss angry, then our mission this time

00:14:00 might bring about a lot of unforeseen events."

00:14:04 Speaking of the task, Atticus' expression immediately became more serious.

00:14:08 "The reason why I didn't let you and Gavin kill anyone is just a precaution.

00:14:13 I should have told you before, but the fighters here are different than anywhere else.

00:14:18 If any warriors die an abnormal death, the people from the Martial Alliance will definitely

00:14:23 investigate.

00:14:25 If they can't find us, that's good.

00:14:28 But if they do, not to mention us, even our sect far away in the ocean will be annihilated."

00:14:35 Dex's tone revealed an unprecedented fear.

00:14:38 The Martial Alliance that he mentioned was the Martial Arts Association that Kevin once

00:14:43 talked about.

00:14:44 The Martial Arts Association was the official name.

00:14:48 People of the Martial Arts world like to call the Martial Arts Association Martial Alliance.

00:14:58 EPISODE 263 TORMENTED LOVEHOLIC

00:15:01 "Big brother, what should we do now?"

00:15:05 "How about we let this girl go?"

00:15:08 Atticus asked.

00:15:09 Listening to his brother's story, he became scared of the forces they'd just angered.

00:15:14 "I can't," Dex shook his head and said.

00:15:17 "If we let her go, the person behind her will follow us and find her.

00:15:22 It would not be good if they found out about us.

00:15:25 After all, we came here sneakily.

00:15:28 We can't let too many people know where we are."

00:15:31 "But Gavin injured this little girl's bodyguard.

00:15:34 He already knows that we are fighters," Atticus said helplessly.

00:15:38 "So what if they know?

00:15:40 They are in our hands right now.

00:15:42 They won't dare to act rashly until we thoroughly investigate them."

00:15:45 He was very confident.

00:15:47 "Maybe this girl knows who the warriors behind her are."

00:15:51 The tall man rubbed his chin and couldn't help but glance at the unconscious woman at

00:15:55 his feet.

00:15:56 Dex frowned and said, "Bella, go wake her up.

00:16:00 Ask her."

00:16:02 Claire was very calm.

00:16:04 She didn't ask who Dex was, but went straight to the point.

00:16:07 "Why did you kidnap me?"

00:16:10 Knowing why they kidnapped her, she could tell where they were from.

00:16:13 "Miss Claire, that's not important why we kidnapped you.

00:16:17 The important thing is, do you want to leave this place?"

00:16:21 Dex smiled.

00:16:22 A trace of ridicule flashed across the corner of Claire's mouth.

00:16:26 "Would you let me go?"

00:16:29 Dex chuckled.

00:16:30 "As long as you tell me what kind of powerful man is behind you, we'll let you go."

00:16:35 "What do you mean?"

00:16:37 She was a little confused, as she did not understand what the man meant.

00:16:41 "Miss Wright, I'm not going to beat around the bush with you.

00:16:45 I want to know, who was the fighter that was protecting your house?"

00:16:49 Dex went straight to the point.

00:16:51 "Professional fighter?"

00:16:53 She was even more confused now.

00:16:55 Kevin had never told her about warriors before.

00:16:58 "Do you know what I'm talking about?"

00:17:00 Dex frowned.

00:17:01 Her puzzled expression didn't seem to be an act.

00:17:05 Claire shook her head and said, "I don't know what kind of warrior you're talking about,

00:17:09 but I have a rough idea of who sent those who were protecting me last night."

00:17:12 "Claire, please tell us."

00:17:16 He was interested.

00:17:17 "My husband."

00:17:19 She spoke bluntly.

00:17:20 "Other than Kevin, there was no one else that could protect her."

00:17:24 She already believed about 70 to 80% of what Kevin said last night.

00:17:29 She knew he was going to the bar to talk with Miss Hallen.

00:17:32 He was trying to warn her about the people plotting to kidnap her, and she blew him off.

00:17:37 However, he did not argue with her.

00:17:39 Instead, when he left, he sent a fighter to protect her.

00:17:43 "Your husband?"

00:17:44 Dex frowned, obviously not believing it.

00:17:47 "Little girl, where did you learn to lie like that?

00:17:50 We are very clear about your husband's background.

00:17:53 He is just an ordinary, live-in son-in-law.

00:17:57 How could a useless man hire a fighter like that?

00:17:59 Do you know what a fighter is?

00:18:01 To drive a fighter to become a bodyguard, one had to at least have the status of an

00:18:05 heir to a first-class family.

00:18:08 How high is the status of a martial artist in this society?"

00:18:11 Atticus sneered.

00:18:12 "Would the heir of a first-tier family be a live-in son-in-law?

00:18:16 Are you joking?

00:18:17 My husband is not an ordinary live-in son-in-law."

00:18:21 Her tone turned cold.

00:18:23 "He's also a fighter."

00:18:26 Claire did not know her husband's level, but from his past performance, even in the

00:18:30 world of martial artists, he was considered extremely powerful.

00:18:34 "Your husband is a fighter?"

00:18:36 Atticus's expression was exaggerated as he laughed heartily.

00:18:40 "Ha ha ha, little girl, are you trying to make me laugh to death?

00:18:44 Do you know what a warrior is?

00:18:46 You dare to spout such big words?

00:18:49 To tell you the truth, if your husband really was a martial artist, your family would have

00:18:52 been taken down a long time ago.

00:18:54 You don't even know what the word 'warrior' means."

00:18:58 There was great pride in Atticus's tone and contempt for ordinary people.

00:19:02 "If you don't believe me, I can't help it."

00:19:06 Claire frowned.

00:19:07 The reality was inconceivable, but the group of people in front of them did not know that

00:19:12 he wasn't just a professional fighter.

00:19:15 Still, he was also the successor to the entire city of San Francisco.

00:19:19 "Since you are unwilling to tell the truth, I guess I'll have to make you suffer for the

00:19:24 next two days."

00:19:26 He did not think that what Claire was saying was true, because if a martial artist were

00:19:30 to become Livin's son-in-law, it would be even more unbelievable than a fairy tale.

00:19:36 When Dex was about to leave, Claire became anxious.

00:19:39 "Stop."

00:19:40 "Is there anything else?"

00:19:41 She took a deep breath.

00:19:42 "I don't know who you are, and I don't know your purpose, but I'd advise you to let me

00:19:48 go as soon as possible.

00:19:51 If my husband comes knocking on his door, he won't let you off easily."

00:19:56 Her words were from the bottom of her heart.

00:19:58 It was obvious that Dex and the others didn't have any bad intentions toward her, so there

00:20:03 might be some other coincidence when they kidnapped her.

00:20:06 She had to warn them about how powerful Kevin was.

00:20:09 But Kevin did not think the same way.

00:20:12 With his domineering character, as long as someone hurt her, he would use everything

00:20:17 in his power to get revenge for her.

00:20:20 At that time, none of Dex's group could get away with it.

00:20:24 It wasn't that she was pitying Dex and the others, but she didn't want to see Kevin make

00:20:28 a huge deal about this because of her.

00:20:30 "Little girl, are you threatening my big brother?"

00:20:34 Atticus's tone turned cold.

00:20:36 Claire froze.

00:20:37 "This is not a threat.

00:20:39 This is advice."

00:20:40 "Advice?" he laughed and declined to comment.

00:20:45 "Girl, you should keep this advice for your good-for-nothing husband to listen to.

00:20:50 In addition, you better pray that he doesn't take the initiative to look for us.

00:20:55 Otherwise, don't blame me for letting you see how he was crushed to death by one of

00:20:59 my hands."

00:21:00 "You..."

00:21:02 She was a little angry.

00:21:04 She did not expect that Atticus would treat her with such kindness.

00:21:07 "Bro, don't be rude to Miss Wright."

00:21:10 Dex glanced at his brother and then shifted his gaze to Claire.

00:21:14 He smiled.

00:21:15 "Miss Wright, thank you for your advice.

00:21:18 I will take note."

00:21:19 He didn't take her words seriously at all.

00:21:23 At this moment, across town, Kevin called Nick on his phone.

00:21:27 "I want information on the foreigners you were talking about."

00:21:30 Nick provided him with the information, so it was highly likely that she knew where they

00:21:34 were.

00:21:35 He went straight to the point.

00:21:36 "I don't know."

00:21:37 Her tone was as cold as ever.

00:21:38 "How come you don't know anything?"

00:21:42 There was a hint of anger in Kevin's voice.

00:21:45 "Mr. Beck, please pay attention to your tone.

00:21:49 I am not your wife.

00:21:51 And I'm not your servant.

00:21:53 You don't have the right to yell at me or tell me what to do."

00:21:56 She frowned.

00:21:57 "I'm sorry, Miss Howland."

00:22:00 I was impulsive.

00:22:02 Taking a deep breath, he calmed himself down.

00:22:04 He didn't have the right to vent his anger on Nick because he wasn't affiliated with

00:22:08 her.

00:22:09 She had already told him someone would do something to his wife.

00:22:17 "I'm sorry, Miss Howland.

00:22:23 I'm sorry."

00:22:27 It was normal for Kevin to be anxious since Claire had disappeared.

00:22:31 However, she didn't know why, but Kevin's attitude just now made her feel uncomfortable.

00:22:36 "You suspect the person who kidnapped your wife is from the same group as those bandits

00:22:40 outside the city?"

00:22:42 Nick asked.

00:22:44 It was obvious that a group of fighters kidnapped Claire, and from what she knew, the foreign

00:22:49 robbers working with Thomas didn't have any involvement with professional fighters.

00:22:54 "That's a possibility," Kevin said.

00:22:58 "I don't know the position of those foreigners.

00:23:01 I only know that they are going to attack your wife.

00:23:04 The biggest casinos in Sacramento were all owned by the Howland family, so they had absolute

00:23:09 control over all of the news within the city.

00:23:12 No one would have thought that his accountant would be a member of the Howland family.

00:23:16 The news was provided by one of Thomas' accountants.

00:23:19 He said that when he was collecting debts from Mr. Martyr, he secretly told him that

00:23:23 he knew a few robbers that were coming into the country that were supposed to help him

00:23:27 kidnap Claire.

00:23:28 "Can you find Thomas now?"

00:23:31 Kevin asked in a deep voice.

00:23:33 "No.

00:23:34 His phone is turned off."

00:23:35 "Alright.

00:23:36 I understand."

00:23:37 He frowned.

00:23:40 From the looks of it, Mr. Martyr was very suspicious.

00:23:44 After all, he was associated with foreign robbers and professional fighters.

00:23:48 "I will get the Howland family resources to find your wife," Nick said indifferently.

00:23:54 Kevin was stunned and said, "Thank you."

00:23:57 "No need to thank me.

00:24:00 This is the payment for drinking with me yesterday."

00:24:02 Her tone remained calm, as though she was talking about a trivial matter that had nothing

00:24:07 to do with her.

00:24:08 Kevin was speechless.

00:24:10 At the same time, Nick hung up the phone.

00:24:13 The entire city began to surge.

00:24:16 Hundreds and thousands of people, each group under a different person's command, scattered

00:24:20 throughout the city to find Thomas and his gang.

00:24:23 Jared, River, the Boltons, the Henderson family, and the Howlands.

00:24:29 Almost all the power under Kevin's hand was mobilized into action.

00:24:33 That night, the entire city was turned upside down.

00:24:38 The next morning, Atticus received the news.

00:24:41 "Big brother, I'm afraid we've gotten into trouble this time.

00:24:45 Someone that supports this girl is not powerless," he began to tell the others of every family

00:24:50 involved in the investigations.

00:24:53 After hearing that, Dex's expression became very serious.

00:24:57 He had already tried his best to overestimate Claire's power behind her, but he hadn't

00:25:02 thought he would still be able to underestimate her.

00:25:05 This was not a power that a first-tier family could possess.

00:25:09 "Big brother, they will soon find us.

00:25:12 I'm afraid we can't stay here any longer.

00:25:15 The people that this person hired to find us are extremely skilled.

00:25:19 They are known for being great at running under the radar, so it was unlikely that the

00:25:22 Bennett siblings could continue to operate undetected.

00:25:25 Also, they knew that the Howlands and the Hendersons were extremely powerful, so it

00:25:31 would not be enjoyable if they found them," Atticus frowned.

00:25:34 "Okay, tell your men to pack up quickly.

00:25:37 We'll leave in half an hour."

00:25:38 "Big brother, what should we do with this girl?

00:25:42 Do I have to keep her with me?"

00:25:44 Atticus couldn't help but glance at Claire.

00:25:46 She was indeed a burden now.

00:25:48 "I'll take her with me first."

00:25:51 Dex also had a headache.

00:25:53 The person behind this woman was not small.

00:25:55 If he laid a finger on her, he would have to pray that the spies her family sent out

00:26:00 would not find him.

00:26:02 He would surely be a dead man if they found out that he had hurt her.

00:26:05 "If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have let anyone kidnap her first," Atticus

00:26:10 spoke, slightly annoyed.

00:26:13 What he said was like a shot in the arm.

00:26:15 When Thomas first asked them to kidnap this woman for him, they could never have imagined

00:26:20 this happening.

00:26:21 Because of a single person, the entire city had turned to chaos.

00:26:26 "We found him.

00:26:27 He's in the industrial district at the north of the city," Nick called out.

00:26:31 "Alright, I'll be there immediately."

00:26:34 Kevin immediately stood up.

00:26:35 "You'd better hurry.

00:26:37 The other party has already noticed that something is wrong and they are packing up.

00:26:41 If you go too late, I'm afraid you won't be able to see anything," he said indifferently.

00:26:46 "Yes," he nodded, and went straight out the door to the grass in front of the door.

00:26:52 There was an Apache helicopter parked there.

00:26:54 It was Mr. Henderson's private helicopter.

00:26:57 After Martin had heard the word of Claire's kidnapping, he sent his helicopter over as

00:27:01 soon as possible so that Kevin could use it in an emergency.

00:27:05 Who would have thought that it would come in handy?

00:27:08 After getting on the helicopter, Kevin went to the industrial area north of the city.

00:27:14 The mercenaries under Atticus were indeed well trained.

00:27:17 Even though Dex had given them half an hour, it only took them twenty minutes to clean

00:27:21 up everything and wipe off all traces of life on the ground.

00:27:25 The Bennett siblings were about to load themselves into the car at the twenty-five minute mark.

00:27:30 At this moment, rumbling sounds could be heard from above the sky.

00:27:35 Dex's senses started to go off.

00:27:37 He was the one with the best fighters out of the four siblings and the one with the

00:27:42 sharpest hearing, so the first thing he heard was the sound of a helicopter.

00:27:46 "Big brother, he seems to be coming," Atticus was the second one to find out.

00:27:52 Ten seconds later, the black Apache hovered over them like an eagle.

00:27:57 The dozen or so mercenaries under Atticus were well trained in tactics.

00:28:02 They didn't panic and quickly got into formation.

00:28:04 "What does this helicopter mean?

00:28:06 Why don't you come down?"

00:28:08 Atticus couldn't help but ask.

00:28:11 Just as he finished speaking, the door to the helicopter opened.

00:28:15 An expressionless figure appeared on the cabin door, looking down at the Bennett siblings

00:28:19 on the ground from above.

00:28:21 "Why is this guy opening the door from the air?

00:28:24 Could it be that he wants to jump down from three hundred feet directly?"

00:28:28 They sneered and didn't think much of it.

00:28:31 Just as he finished his thought, Kevin, who was at the cabin's entrance, jumped out of

00:28:37 the helicopter's door and into the air without any parachute.

00:28:43 The crowd burst into an uproar.

00:28:45 The employees were so shocked that their eyeballs almost fell out of their sockets.

00:28:50 They could have never imagined someone taking such a risk in their whole lives.

00:28:54 "Aren't you afraid of smashing yourself into a pulp?"

00:28:57 "Dodge!

00:28:58 Quickly, dodge!" someone shouted in English.

00:29:01 This guy who jumped down from a hundred meters high wanted to die, but they didn't want to.

00:29:08 Atticus's expression was truly wonderful.

00:29:11 You didn't expect that just thinking about it would cause someone to jump.

00:29:15 You don't have to be like this, even when courting death.

00:29:18 Dex, who was usually calm, couldn't remain calm anymore.

00:29:23 The impact of the scene in front of him was too great.

00:29:27 That was three hundred feet in the air, which was equivalent to the thirty-third story of

00:29:32 a building.

00:29:35 EPISODE 265 CRIME WITNESS

00:29:39 If he were to jump from such a height, it would create a massive crater in the ground.

00:29:44 "Mr. Wright, your reinforcement doesn't seem to have a good plan in mind," Atticus sneered.

00:29:51 He had started to say that Kevin's brain was not working, but before he could finish his

00:29:55 sentence he heard a bang and an expressionless figure appeared in front of him.

00:30:02 Kevin fell from the sky and landed steadily on the ground as though he had stepped from

00:30:07 a curb.

00:30:08 The smile on Atticus's face completely froze.

00:30:14 The words he didn't get out before he was interrupted were forcefully swallowed back

00:30:19 down his throat.

00:30:21 A dozen mercenaries behind him also widened their eyes.

00:30:26 Their faces were disbelief, as if they had seen a ghost in broad daylight.

00:30:31 This guy jumped down from a hundred meter height and was completely fine.

00:30:37 This - is he a human or a ghost?

00:30:42 "Martial Arts Master," Dex's pupils suddenly constricted.

00:30:48 Amongst everyone present, he was the one who understood the most about what was happening.

00:30:54 With the release of his inner strength, Kevin could control his descent as he fell one hundred

00:30:59 meters through the air.

00:31:01 This was the action of a Force Fighter.

00:31:05 The unassuming young man in front of him turned out to be a Martial Arts Master.

00:31:10 Why?

00:31:11 How?

00:31:12 Didn't they say that there are no Higher Realm practitioners in Sacramento?

00:31:17 There was a voice roaring crazily in Dex's heart.

00:31:21 At this moment, his intestines were twisting around in his stomach from regret.

00:31:27 If he had known that Kevin was a Martial Arts Master sooner, he would have respected him.

00:31:32 He wouldn't have dared to kidnap Claire, even if he were beaten to death.

00:31:37 "Alright, you guys hurry up and leave."

00:31:40 Atticus's eyes were filled with fear, but he reacted the fastest.

00:31:45 In a split second, he pulled out a dagger from his waist and held it against Claire's

00:31:49 neck.

00:31:50 Although he couldn't tell how advanced Kevin was, he could easily see that even if he had

00:31:55 added the power from the four of them together, they would still not be Kevin's match.

00:32:01 Kevin's strength had reached an unimaginable level.

00:32:05 Therefore, the only way to survive was to use Claire as a hostage.

00:32:11 Seeing the dagger on Claire's white neck, Kevin's eyes instantly turned cold.

00:32:17 Let her go.

00:32:21 Let my big brother and the others leave first.

00:32:24 When my big brother and the others are safe, I'll let them go.

00:32:27 Atticus shouted, his face wild.

00:32:30 No doubt things had gone out of their control the moment Kevin appeared.

00:32:35 One of the four brothers would most likely be hurt or killed this time.

00:32:40 "You're tempting fate."

00:32:43 Kevin's gaze turned completely cold.

00:32:47 The thing he hated most was a person who dared to threaten him.

00:32:51 At this moment, Dex suddenly spoke in a low voice.

00:32:56 "Brother, let go of Claire."

00:32:59 "What do you mean?"

00:33:01 Atticus was stunned.

00:33:03 Claire was the only chance for the four siblings to survive, so why did his brother tell him

00:33:07 to let her go?

00:33:09 "I told you to let her go.

00:33:11 Did you hear me?"

00:33:13 Dex was quickly becoming furious.

00:33:15 "Alright."

00:33:17 Atticus gritted his teeth and pulled the dagger on Claire's neck away.

00:33:21 Although he didn't want to listen, he also didn't dare to disobey Dex's orders.

00:33:27 Claire cried tears of joy.

00:33:29 She ran to Kevin's side and hugged him.

00:33:32 A smile appeared on his face again as he gently removed the tape from Claire's mouth.

00:33:37 "Are you alright?"

00:33:39 Kevin said softly.

00:33:40 "Yes, I'm fine."

00:33:42 Claire nodded slightly.

00:33:44 She did not know how many times Kevin had saved her.

00:33:48 Whenever she needed him the most, Kevin would appear, never missing out on a chance to rescue

00:33:53 her.

00:33:54 At this moment, Dex walked forward with beads of cold sweat on his forehead.

00:33:59 He pressed his palms together and said, "Sir, my brothers and I did not mean to offend Ms.

00:34:05 Wright.

00:34:06 Please, sir, forgive me."

00:34:10 He was begging for mercy.

00:34:13 This was Dex's only option.

00:34:15 The moment Kevin landed on the ground, it was not as though the thought of holding Claire

00:34:19 hostage didn't cross his mind.

00:34:22 But he immediately put the idea out of his brain, knowing what would happen if he tried.

00:34:29 It was apparent how terrifying this martial arts master was.

00:34:32 If Kevin had been indeed angered, then none of the people present today would have been

00:34:37 able to leave this place alive.

00:34:40 Even their sect far away in the ocean would suffer if Kevin took revenge.

00:34:45 He could only surrender, in hope that Kevin would spare their lives, because they were

00:34:51 sensible.

00:34:52 They might only have a one in ten thousand chance of surviving, but it was the best they

00:34:57 were going to get.

00:35:00 Kevin looked coldly at Dex and didn't say anything.

00:35:04 The atmosphere in the hall was agitated.

00:35:08 The four siblings looked down at the ground as if a mountain was pressing on top of them.

00:35:14 Their heads were weighty, and they didn't even dare to raise their heads to look Kevin

00:35:18 in the eye.

00:35:20 The cold sweat on Dex's forehead fell heavily to the ground and even flowed into his eyes.

00:35:26 He felt his eyes start to sting, but he did not dare to wipe it off.

00:35:33 Any action, one wrong breath, could affect Kevin's decision.

00:35:39 The life and death of the four siblings lay in Kevin's hands.

00:35:45 After a long while, he finally opened his mouth to speak.

00:35:50 "I won't kill you this time, but you must be punished for this crime.

00:35:55 You must take your arm as an apology."

00:35:57 Atticus's heart trembled.

00:36:00 Kevin was looking at him when he gave the command.

00:36:02 "Thank you, sir."

00:36:05 With a plunk sound, Atticus kneeled on the ground as if he had heard the music from the

00:36:10 heavens as he fawned in fear and trepidation.

00:36:15 Atticus's heart was dying out like the last ember from a campfire.

00:36:19 Since Dex had already agreed to the punishment, his arm would not be able to be preserved.

00:36:27 Atticus was not an indecisive person.

00:36:29 After realizing he could not protect his arm, he raised the dagger and chopped toward his

00:36:35 right arm without hesitation.

00:36:38 The dagger in his hand ripped through flesh, bone, and muscle.

00:36:44 His right arm was severed at its roots and blood gushed like a spring.

00:36:49 Atticus groaned.

00:36:50 His face instantly turned pale.

00:36:52 However, he was a proud person, so he did not scream out loud.

00:36:58 Kevin nodded.

00:37:00 Atticus was quite lucky.

00:37:02 If he had hurt Claire earlier, this would not be something that could have been made

00:37:06 up by just losing an arm.

00:37:09 "Speak.

00:37:10 What is the purpose of you coming to Sacramento?"

00:37:12 He could tell with one glance that Dex was in the beginning stage of Soul Magic, and

00:37:17 Atticus and Bella were in the late stage of Light Magic.

00:37:21 Even the weakest, Gavin, was in the middle stage of Light Magic.

00:37:25 They had presented themselves as bandits to go about their business without being bothered.

00:37:30 Kevin wondered what they were really up to.

00:37:34 Since they had come to Sacramento, there must be some other, ulterior motive.

00:37:40 Kevin's calm gaze made Dex panic, but he still braced himself and said, "Sir, we have come

00:37:47 to Sacramento to visit our family."

00:37:49 "Visit your family?"

00:37:51 Kevin sneered.

00:37:52 He glanced at the mercenaries who were scared silly behind Dex and said, "Did you bring

00:37:58 a bunch of mercenaries to visit your family?"

00:38:01 Cold sweat broke out on Dex's forehead.

00:38:04 "I'll give you three seconds to tell me your true purpose."

00:38:08 The city of Sacramento was now his territory, so he must know why Dex and the others had

00:38:14 come to the town.

00:38:16 "We are looking for medicine."

00:38:20 The corners of Dex's mouth turned down, and he continued looking at the floor.

00:38:25 "Sir, my family and I came to Sacramento to get medicine."

00:38:28 "Oh?

00:38:30 What kind of medicine are you looking for?"

00:38:33 Kevin was interested.

00:38:34 "Ice Lotus."

00:38:35 Dex did not dare to hide anything.

00:38:39 This was Kevin's territory.

00:38:41 If Kevin wanted to squash him, it would be easier than squashing an ant.

00:38:50 Chapter 266.

00:38:52 In Hundred Years

00:38:53 "Ice Lotus?"

00:38:56 Kevin frowned.

00:38:57 He seemed to have heard Travis mention that the Ice Lotus was a type of medicine worth

00:39:01 $10,000.

00:39:02 That it had a miraculous effect in expelling fire poison.

00:39:07 But didn't the Ice Lotus only grow in icy places?

00:39:12 So why were Dex and the rest of his family looking around Sacramento for it?

00:39:17 Kevin thought it was strange.

00:39:19 If you want to find Ice Lotus, you should go to the mountains.

00:39:21 Why are you looking for it in Sacramento?

00:39:25 Although Sacramento was located in the north, the temperature had always been hot, and the

00:39:30 conditions were not suitable for Ice Lotus to grow there.

00:39:34 Kevin thought that Dex must still be lying.

00:39:37 Dex was startled.

00:39:38 "Sir, there is plenty of Ice Lotus in Sacramento."

00:39:41 "Have you seen it here in the city?"

00:39:44 "Yes, it's in Beverly Hills."

00:39:47 Dex was very sure.

00:39:49 Beverly Hills was his territory, so how could he not know there was Ice Lotus?

00:39:54 "Sir, the Jade Spring in Beverly Hills is connected to an ancient pond.

00:39:59 There is Ice Lotus in that pond," Dex said.

00:40:02 How come I didn't know that there was an ancient pond in Beverly Hills?

00:40:07 After all, he had invested $50 billion into developing that project back when it was started,

00:40:14 but he had never even heard of the matter of there being an ancient pond in his backyard.

00:40:19 It's normal for people in charge not to know.

00:40:22 Dex was not surprised by this at all.

00:40:24 Besides, even many mountain residents may not know of the ancient pond right around

00:40:28 the corner.

00:40:29 The only reason I know about it is because of my master.

00:40:33 Thirty years ago, my master had visited this city once.

00:40:37 When he was passing through, he unintentionally discovered the secret of the Beverly Hills

00:40:41 Jade Spring.

00:40:43 At the bottom of the Jade Spring is an ancient pond.

00:40:46 The ancient pond is hidden underground all year long, and no sunlight shines through

00:40:51 to it.

00:40:53 The water is so cold that if a normal person were to enter, they would be frozen into an

00:40:57 ice sculpture in less than a minute.

00:40:59 However, my master was working on a profound meditation base back then.

00:41:04 He willed himself to stay in the ancient pond for ten minutes before he left.

00:41:09 The ice lotus was discovered when he was leaving.

00:41:13 Three in total, but none were mature enough that year.

00:41:17 The reason I came here this time is to see if the three ice lotus blooms have matured.

00:41:22 If they have matured, we only want one of the three ice lotus blooms.

00:41:27 As for the other two, we are willing to give them to you as an apology for offending this

00:41:31 rite.

00:41:33 Dex spoke very politely.

00:41:35 Out of the three ice lotus blooms, he only wanted one, while the other two would be given

00:41:40 to Kevin.

00:41:42 This showed just how sincere he was.

00:41:45 Kevin muttered to himself, but did not open his mouth.

00:41:48 The ice lotus was a scarce spirit medicine, and it would only bloom once every hundred

00:41:53 years.

00:41:54 Many people considered it a treasure of heaven on earth.

00:41:57 Other than expelling fire poison, it also had the effect of tempering the body and nourishing

00:42:03 the face.

00:42:04 If it was only used to temper the body, it could turn a person who did not have any martial

00:42:09 arts skills into a light magic warrior within ten days.

00:42:14 If used only for beauty, it would allow a woman's appearance to remain unchanged for

00:42:18 ten years.

00:42:20 From this, it could be seen how extreme the effectiveness of the ice lotus was.

00:42:26 Even in the Bennett family, the ice lotus blooms were rare things and couldn't be measured

00:42:31 by price.

00:42:33 Right now, three blooms had appeared without explanation within Beverly Hills.

00:42:38 It was impossible to say that Kevin was not moved at all.

00:42:43 He knew the value, but he was not a greedy man.

00:42:46 "I only want one," Kevin said.

00:42:49 "I will buy the other from you for one billion dollars."

00:42:54 Although Dex said he would give him two blooms, it would be too greedy for him to take both

00:42:59 without a need for them.

00:43:01 However, not taking even one would be unreasonable.

00:43:06 After all, Beverly Hills was currently his territory, and Dex and the others were searching

00:43:11 for treasures in his environment.

00:43:13 So it was understandable that he, the owner, would get one.

00:43:17 Therefore, the best method was to take one and buy the other.

00:43:22 The price of one billion was not that high compared to the value of the ice lotus, and

00:43:27 it was even a little low.

00:43:29 However, this was the price that Kevin had laid out, and no one was going to challenge

00:43:35 him.

00:43:36 A billion.

00:43:38 When Kevin named this price, the four brothers were quite frightened.

00:43:42 They would never have thought that Kevin would pay them so much for one bloom.

00:43:46 They had made a lot of money overseas over the years, but they had never made a billion.

00:43:51 Moreover, their master had been severely injured, and they had spent almost all that money to

00:43:56 help him heal.

00:43:58 If they had a lot of money, the four dignified martial artists would not have been reduced

00:44:02 to robbing and kidnapping like common bandits.

00:44:06 Now, Kevin had said he would pay them one billion dollars for something they had planned

00:44:11 to give away for free.

00:44:12 How could they not be shocked?

00:44:15 Although Dex was confused, he chose his words carefully to avoid offending Kevin and to

00:44:20 make sure he understood the situation.

00:44:22 "Sir, you must be joking.

00:44:24 I willingly gave you the two Ice Lotus Blooms as gifts.

00:44:27 I could not possibly take a single cent from you.

00:44:31 I'm not joking."

00:44:33 Before Dex could finish his words, he was interrupted by Kevin.

00:44:36 "I said I would buy it from you.

00:44:39 I will give you one billion dollars."

00:44:42 Everyone was stunned by Kevin's domineering attitude once again.

00:44:47 Even Claire felt dizzy at this moment.

00:44:49 Although she knew Kevin was wealthy, she never asked how much money he had.

00:44:54 Today, to buy a Lotus Flower that was going to be given to him as a gift, Kevin casually

00:45:00 offered one billion in a single breath.

00:45:03 Only then did she know that Kevin's current net worth was probably at a level beyond her

00:45:09 comprehension.

00:45:10 One billion was enough to buy two or three Wright families.

00:45:14 "Please, sir."

00:45:16 Dex wanted to say more.

00:45:18 However, Kevin waved his hand and said, "Alright, enough.

00:45:22 It's settled then.

00:45:23 At that time, I will go harvest Ice Lotus with the four of you."

00:45:28 "Yes, sir.

00:45:29 Thank you, sir."

00:45:31 Dex hurriedly bowed.

00:45:32 Since Kevin had already said this twice, he naturally didn't dare to refuse again.

00:45:37 Of course, he also understood that Kevin still couldn't trust him.

00:45:42 Otherwise, Kevin would not ask to go with him to pick the Ice Lotus Blooms.

00:45:47 After saying that, Kevin prepared to leave.

00:45:50 But at that moment, the blood jade hanging from Dex's neck revealed itself, instantly

00:45:58 attracting his attention.

00:46:00 "Who is Bron Lewis to you?"

00:46:03 Kevin narrowed his eyes.

00:46:06 Five years ago, he had seen this piece of blood jade on someone else's neck while traveling

00:46:10 overseas.

00:46:11 "How do you know my master?"

00:46:14 Dex was astonished.

00:46:16 Bron Lewis was the name of his master.

00:46:19 Only those close to his master would know where the necklace came from.

00:46:23 So how did the man in front of him know about it?

00:46:27 "Your master?"

00:46:29 Kevin had a weird expression on his face.

00:46:31 He didn't expect the world to be so small.

00:46:34 The four people in front of him were Bron's disciples.

00:46:39 It could be said that we were friends.

00:46:42 Kevin's expression quickly returned to its normal state.

00:46:46 The relationship between him and Bron was not something that could be explained with

00:46:50 just a few words.

00:46:52 Strictly speaking, he was Bron's savior.

00:46:56 When Travis Graham took him overseas, he left him alone in Malaysia, where he met Bron.

00:47:02 At that time, Bron had quite a bit of power in Malaysia and was the head of the Malaysian

00:47:06 Chinese gang.

00:47:07 And back then, he was only at the early stage of Soul Magic.

00:47:12 The process of getting to know Bron was also fascinating.

00:47:16 Bron had a son in the past.

00:47:18 His name was Holden Lewis, and he was an extraordinarily arrogant and despotic person.

00:47:25 He loved to bully men, but he loved to torture women the most.

00:47:29 He was one of the most notorious Papenjays in Malaysia.

00:47:39 Chapter 267 Intention Judged

00:47:43 Because of a woman, Holden offended Kevin.

00:47:47 The Kevin of the past did not know what it meant to be patient.

00:47:50 He had beaten Holden half to death, and not only did he break both of Holden's legs, he

00:47:55 even blinded one of Holden's eyes.

00:47:58 After learning of his son's miserable state, Bron does not hesitate to go to war with the

00:48:03 entire Chinese gang behind him to avenge Holden.

00:48:07 In the end, they were all beaten up by Kevin.

00:48:11 Even though Bron was the sect leader, he couldn't hurt Kevin in the slightest.

00:48:15 After trying his best, Bron could only admit his defeat.

00:48:19 They respectfully invited Kevin to his door and asked Holden to pour him a cup of tea

00:48:24 as a form of apology.

00:48:26 Kevin waved his hand magnanimously, ignoring the past.

00:48:31 Later, there was a disagreement within the Chinese gang, and the second in command, Isaac

00:48:35 Farmer, joined forces with the high-ranking gang leader to assassinate Bron and take control

00:48:41 of the entire gang.

00:48:43 Due to fate, Kevin saved Bron's life, allowing him to escape Calamity narrowly.

00:48:49 Bron was naturally grateful to Kevin, and the two of them took this opportunity to become

00:48:53 such good friends that they called each other brothers.

00:48:57 Kevin told Dex that Bron was his big brother.

00:49:00 Kevin's strange expression made the four siblings even more… confused.

00:49:05 Their instincts told them that their relationship between Kevin and their master was not ordinary,

00:49:10 but they could not tell what was so special.

00:49:14 The reaction of the four siblings was within Kevin's expectations.

00:49:19 Five years ago, they were not in Malaysia, so it was customary for them to not know about

00:49:24 him.

00:49:25 Kevin also did not intend to tell them much more about his relationship with Bron.

00:49:29 "You're looking for the Ice Lotus for Bron?"

00:49:32 Kevin asked.

00:49:33 "Yes.

00:49:34 It's for him.

00:49:36 Our master has been afflicted with a fire poison."

00:49:38 Dex bowed and replied with an unnatural expression on his face.

00:49:43 Usually, if an outsider dared to call Bron anything other than 'master' in front of

00:49:48 Dex, he would send a slap over.

00:49:50 However, he didn't dare to challenge Kevin.

00:49:54 Furthermore, Kevin's appearance showed that he had a special relationship with his master,

00:49:59 and Dex didn't want to anger him.

00:50:01 "Did the Sacred Flame sects do this?"

00:50:04 Kevin raised his eyebrows.

00:50:05 "The most considerable effect of the Ice Lotus was to drive out fire poison.

00:50:10 So, the only thing that could have hurt Bron was the fire attribute cultivation technique.

00:50:16 There were many gangs in Malaysia, but only the Church of Holy Fire possessed a fire attribute

00:50:21 cultivation technique.

00:50:24 You even know of the Sacred Flame sect?"

00:50:26 Dex was so shocked that he almost couldn't speak.

00:50:29 It's one thing for Kevin to know his teacher, but he even knew about the Sacred Flame sect.

00:50:34 Could it be Kevin had lived in Malaysia?

00:50:39 Very quickly, Dex considered this possibility.

00:50:42 "Is it strange to know about the Church of Holy Fire?"

00:50:45 Kevin twitched his mouth.

00:50:47 He knew almost all the more prominent gangs in Malaysia.

00:50:51 "No, it's not too surprising."

00:50:54 Dex also realized that he had lost his composure and hurriedly shook his head.

00:50:59 He then said, "The one who hurt Master Bron is the leader of the Sacred Flame sect, Maximo."

00:51:06 "Maximo?"

00:51:08 Kevin narrowed his eyes.

00:51:09 "Why did Maximo make a move on Bron?"

00:51:12 "Because our master's soul magic has already reached perfection and is about to break through

00:51:17 to the Force Fighter stage.

00:51:20 Once Master Bron becomes a true martial arts master, it will affect the local hierarchy

00:51:24 of Malaysia.

00:51:25 To prevent this from happening, Maximo has joined forces with Stuart, Ren, Damien, and

00:51:31 the other gang leaders to ambush our master.

00:51:34 In a small place like Malaysia, a practitioner of the late stage of soul magic was already

00:51:39 an exceptional expert.

00:51:41 If they were to gain another level or become a martial arts master, no one else would be

00:51:45 able to make a move."

00:51:46 "Where's your master now?"

00:51:49 "In such a situation, Bron would naturally not be able to stay in Malaysia anymore, so

00:51:54 there was a high chance that he would have left."

00:51:57 "Master Bron is here."

00:51:59 "Big brother!"

00:52:00 Before Dex could finish his words, he was interrupted by Atticus behind him.

00:52:05 Atticus looked anxious and puzzled as he didn't understand why Dex wanted to tell Kevin about

00:52:11 this life and death matter.

00:52:13 Bron was now seriously injured and on the verge of death, not to mention martial artists,

00:52:18 even an ordinary person could take Bron's life.

00:52:22 If Dex revealed Bron's hiding place, as long as Kevin had the slightest evil intention,

00:52:27 then Bron would never see the sun tomorrow.

00:52:30 "Come on, don't worry.

00:52:32 This guy is our master's close friend.

00:52:34 He won't do anything to Master Bron."

00:52:37 Dex slightly smiled, showing his confidence.

00:52:40 If, at first, he didn't know Kevin's identity, then when Kevin mentioned the Sacred Fire

00:52:47 to him, he knew everything.

00:52:49 At a young age, this martial arts master had also been to Malaysia and called his master

00:52:54 by his first name, so it was obvious that Kevin was the genius who saved the Chinese

00:52:59 gang five years ago.

00:53:01 At the same time, he was their master's brother.

00:53:05 Anyone could harm Bron, but Kevin certainly wouldn't.

00:53:09 "Sir, my brother doesn't understand.

00:53:12 Please do not pay any attention to him.

00:53:15 Only Bron is currently recuperating from his injuries in Rosemount.

00:53:18 Because Maximo and the others have sent people to kill him, only I know the exact address.

00:53:24 But if you want to know, I can tell you in private," Dex said.

00:53:29 "No need," Kevin shook his head.

00:53:31 "When we find the Ice Lotus, I will go with you then to see Bron."

00:53:36 "Thank you, sir."

00:53:38 Dex's expression was joyful as he hurriedly bowed to express his thanks.

00:53:42 Kevin's intention was not just to visit Bron, but to stand up for him.

00:53:47 "River, arrange a place for them to stay."

00:53:50 Kevin turned his gaze to River Campino, who was by his side.

00:53:54 Not long after he jumped down from the helicopter, River and Jared arrived.

00:53:58 "Yes, young Master Bennett."

00:54:01 After a slight pause, River hurriedly nodded his head.

00:54:05 He never thought that Kevin would let Dex and the others off the hook.

00:54:09 Meeting River, Dex was slightly embarrassed.

00:54:12 "Atticus, hurry and bring Big Brother River's things out."

00:54:16 What he was talking about was naturally the antiques from River's vault.

00:54:21 "Yes, brother."

00:54:22 Atticus was about to give his orders, but River waved his hand and said, "No need.

00:54:28 Take those items as a present for my brothers."

00:54:30 River smiled.

00:54:32 Although the antique calligraphy and paintings in the vault were valuable, they were only

00:54:36 worth around 200 million.

00:54:38 He wasn't lacking in that amount of money.

00:54:40 However, the people in front of him were not the same.

00:54:43 They had a deep relationship with Kevin, and all four were warriors.

00:54:48 If he could take this opportunity to rope these four over onto Kevin's side, he would

00:54:52 make a lot more money.

00:54:54 "River, you don't need to do that.

00:54:57 Are you sure?"

00:54:58 Dex was a bit embarrassed.

00:55:01 He didn't expect River to be so generous, giving away so many antique calligraphy documents

00:55:06 and paintings.

00:55:07 "What's wrong with it?

00:55:09 We're all family," River said casually.

00:55:11 "Alright, then.

00:55:12 I will not be disrespectful."

00:55:16 After thinking about it for a while, Dex accepted the gifts with a smile.

00:55:21 He naturally understood what River meant.

00:55:23 However, if he bought the items, he would have to work for Kevin in the future.

00:55:28 Compared to the 200 million, the value of these four warriors was a bit higher.

00:55:41 Dex sighed even more deeply in his heart.

00:55:44 It was no wonder Kevin was a fierce person who once saved the Chinese gang.

00:55:50 At such a young age, he was already a martial arts master.

00:55:55 Not only was his strength terrifying, but he also had River, a trusted aide with a very

00:56:00 keen mind.

00:56:02 "What is your name, brother?"

00:56:06 "Dex," Dex slightly smiled and then introduced Atticus, Bella, and Gavin.

00:56:13 Then the two of them chatted for a while.

00:56:16 Only then did Dex learn Kevin's name.

00:56:20 When he found out that he was the live-in son-in-law of the Wright family, Dex was naturally

00:56:25 shocked and his eyeballs almost fell out of their sockets.

00:56:29 Atticus, behind him, was also dumbfounded and felt a chill run down his spine.

00:56:37 Last night, when Claire said that Kevin was a fighter, not only did he not believe her,

00:56:42 he even ridiculed her in front of her face, saying that he would pinch Kevin to death.

00:56:49 Now that Kevin had appeared in person and he was powerful enough to be a martial arts

00:56:54 master, what was he supposed to do?

00:56:58 But unfortunately, he was only an advanced light magic practitioner.

00:57:04 It was more like he would be crushed to death like a bug by Kevin.

00:57:09 River arranged for them to stay at his hotel.

00:57:12 "Big brother, are you sure this Kevin knows Master Bron?"

00:57:17 Atticus asked the moment they entered the hotel.

00:57:20 "I think it's more than just knowing him.

00:57:24 They have a history."

00:57:25 Dex smiled meaningfully and said, "He is Master Bron's brother, but with a different

00:57:32 surname."

00:57:33 "Big brother, are you saying-" Atticus' eyes widened.

00:57:39 "He is like our martial arts uncle?"

00:57:43 Dex nodded.

00:57:44 "Atticus, Bella, Gavin, the three of you must be more polite to Uncle Bennett in the

00:57:50 future.

00:57:51 Although he is still young, in terms of qualifications, he is much more advanced than us."

00:57:59 The three hurriedly nodded their heads.

00:58:02 Their fighting skills were nothing compared to Kevin's.

00:58:06 As a martial arts master, he was even more advanced than their master.

00:58:12 And because Kevin had saved Bron's life five years ago, Bron had always talked about

00:58:17 Kevin these past few years.

00:58:20 His opinion of Kevin far surpassed his view of even his most advanced disciples.

00:58:26 If any of them dared to offend Kevin, they would not be able to get past Bron.

00:58:32 "Big brother, just which family did Uncle Bennett come from?

00:58:38 His talent is way too monstrous."

00:58:40 Atticus asked.

00:58:42 "A twenty-five year old martial arts master is a rare sight to behold.

00:58:47 Not just in Sacramento, but in the whole world."

00:58:50 "Don't ask too many questions.

00:58:54 Uncle Bennett's background is not something that you and I can speculate about."

00:58:59 Dex's face sank.

00:59:02 Kevin's background had always been a taboo topic in the Chinese gang.

00:59:06 But because he was Bron's beloved brother, Dex more or less knew about him.

00:59:13 They knew that Kevin was the abandoned child of the Bennett family, but they didn't attach

00:59:18 much importance to him beyond that.

00:59:22 Even when he finally became a disciple of Travis Graham, this situation did not change.

00:59:28 In the end, Kevin even fell out with his family, ran away from them, and came to the city of

00:59:34 Sacramento, becoming the Wright family's live-in son-in-law.

00:59:39 No one knew whether it was to conceal himself or to take revenge on Chen's family.

00:59:45 "Yes, big brother, I won't ask any more."

00:59:50 Atticus nodded hurriedly.

00:59:52 Dex's severe treatment indicated that Kevin's background must have involved some shocking

00:59:57 inside story.

00:59:59 Meanwhile, Kevin and Claire arrived home.

01:00:04 The moment he entered, he saw Eileen, who was wiping away her tears, and Alan, who had

01:00:10 a severe expression.

01:00:12 "Mom, I'm back!"

01:00:15 Everyone looked up when she spoke.

01:00:18 "Claire?"

01:00:19 Eileen was stunned for a moment before she burst into tears of joy.

01:00:24 She walked up to Claire and embraced her, asking with concern.

01:00:28 "Honey, are you alright?

01:00:31 Did those bastards do anything to you?"

01:00:34 Claire shook her head.

01:00:35 "I'm fine.

01:00:36 They kidnapped the wrong person."

01:00:40 These words were Claire's excuse.

01:00:43 Until now, she did not know why Dex and the others kidnapped her.

01:00:48 "The wrong person was kidnapped?"

01:00:51 Eileen said doubtfully.

01:00:53 "That's impossible."

01:00:56 After saying that, she glanced at Kevin.

01:00:59 She still felt that Peyton was behind it.

01:01:02 However, she was also very discreet and did not tell him about Peyton in front of Claire

01:01:07 and Alan.

01:01:09 If Eileen didn't mention it, Kevin naturally wouldn't say anything else.

01:01:15 Kevin also had to figure out what to do with Peyton.

01:01:18 If he had killed him directly, the misunderstanding between Kevin and Claire could never have

01:01:24 been resolved.

01:01:26 Claire would probably always think that he was the mastermind behind this.

01:01:31 But if he didn't kill Peyton, he would be like a time bomb buried within the Wright

01:01:35 family.

01:01:37 You would never be able to tell when it would explode and turn the Wright family into a

01:01:41 pile of rubble.

01:01:43 "Why is it impossible?

01:01:46 They let her go."

01:01:47 The gloomy look on Alan's face finally disappeared.

01:01:51 As soon as he returned from the hospital, he heard Eileen complain that Kevin had let

01:01:56 Claire be tied up to wash away his suspicion of cheating.

01:02:02 In the past, he would naturally not have believed Eileen's words.

01:02:07 But now, as Kevin became more and more powerful, he had no choice but to believe her.

01:02:14 As a man, he understood the way men think.

01:02:18 The richer the man, the more desire he holds within.

01:02:22 Is the current Kevin rich?

01:02:25 Of course!

01:02:26 He had money.

01:02:27 And Kevin still had the momentum of the heavens.

01:02:32 If the current Kevin were not honest, he would have created a long time ago.

01:02:38 He was so rich and powerful, what kind of woman wouldn't want to find her and hang herself

01:02:43 on Claire's tree?

01:02:45 He sent Claire back to her room.

01:02:48 Kevin wanted to turn around and leave, but Claire's emotionless voice came from behind.

01:02:53 "What happened between you and Nick?"

01:02:57 She needed an explanation.

01:03:00 Kevin sighed in his heart.

01:03:02 He was still going to face this problem after all.

01:03:05 Kevin opened his mouth and said, "Nick is my friend.

01:03:09 Yesterday at the bar, she told me someone was trying to kidnap you."

01:03:14 "Couldn't you talk to her anywhere else?

01:03:18 Did you have to go to a bar?"

01:03:20 Claire asked coldly.

01:03:22 She didn't understand Kevin's intentions.

01:03:25 It seemed strange for him to go to the bar with Nick to discuss things.

01:03:30 Kevin smiled bitterly.

01:03:31 He didn't know how to explain it to Claire.

01:03:34 Could it be that Nick forced him to go with her?

01:03:38 If he said that, Claire would probably get even angrier.

01:03:41 Moreover, Nick didn't force him.

01:03:45 "If you like her, we can get a divorce."

01:03:48 Claire had a calm expression.

01:03:51 Kevin frowned.

01:03:52 "Don't say that again in the future.

01:03:55 I'll explain the details of my relationship with Nick to you sooner or later.

01:03:59 The only thing I can tell you is that I have a clear conscience."

01:04:05 Claire pursed her lips but didn't say anything.

01:04:09 Kevin sighed.

01:04:10 "Alright, you rest first.

01:04:13 I'll come back to find you tomorrow."

01:04:16 After he left the Wrights' home, Kevin received a call from Nick.

01:04:20 "Did you find her?"

01:04:23 Nick's voice was still cold.

01:04:25 "Found her."

01:04:26 "Do you still need me to explain things to her?"

01:04:30 Nick was brilliant.

01:04:32 She had long since known about the video.

01:04:35 Even if she had a squirrel's brain, she could imagine how Claire would react.

01:04:39 "No need."

01:04:41 Kevin rejected her without even thinking.

01:04:44 Nick meeting Claire was like setting fire to his home, let alone explain it clearly.

01:04:50 It was probably better if the two of them never met.

01:04:57 According to Bronze Records, the ancient pond at the bottom of the Beverly Hills Jade Spring

01:05:03 only appears when the spring water sinks back into the ground at the end of each month.

01:05:09 Therefore, the best time to pick the ice lotus was three days after the water had retreated.

01:05:16 During those three days, Kevin did not sit around idly.

01:05:20 Instead, he wrote down a few medicinal ingredients needed to refine the ice lotus and had Jared

01:05:26 and River's subordinates go to various places to buy them.

01:05:31 There were a total of three ice lotus blooms.

01:05:35 Kevin planned to give one to Braun, another to Claire, and the last he intended to keep

01:05:40 in case of an emergency.

01:05:42 When he gave Claire this bloom, he intended for her to use it to step into the early stages

01:05:47 of light magic and become a warrior.

01:05:51 If anything else happened to him in the future, then Claire would have some ability to protect

01:05:56 herself.

01:05:58 In the blink of an eye, it was already the second day.

01:06:02 Unfortunately, Jared's purchase of the medicinal herbs wasn't going very smoothly.

01:06:09 The people sent out word back that the medicinal ingredients had been bought out, especially

01:06:15 the older ginseng and the giant crow.

01:06:19 But unfortunately, they didn't even have time to get a glimpse of them before they were

01:06:24 sold out.

01:06:26 According to the medicine store owner, in the past few days, someone from the city had

01:06:31 been buying spirit medicines.

01:06:33 As a result, the entire stock of spirit medicines in the medicine market had been swept clean.

01:06:40 That afternoon, Jared sent another message back.

01:06:44 The lackey who they sent out to purchase the herbs was beaten up.

01:06:49 Furthermore, the other party was a ruthless person.

01:06:53 Not only did he not leave after the beating, but he also told Jared to send more people,

01:06:59 boasting that he could call the most influential people he knew.

01:07:03 Today, he said he was going to teach Jared how to behave.

01:07:08 Helpless, Jared could only call Kevin.

01:07:12 Mr. Bennett, the reason for this is being the owner of one of the shops, said that he

01:07:17 would sell us his shop supplies.

01:07:19 But when I sent someone to buy it, the boss suddenly changed his mind.

01:07:24 He said that someone offered two times more than us to buy it.

01:07:29 He also said that the person's background is solid.

01:07:33 Therefore, he can't afford to offend him.

01:07:36 I told Greg Toms to stay in the store, the Golden Sesame Temple, and wait for them to

01:07:41 come.

01:07:42 I was going to check out their power.

01:07:46 In the end, the other side found Greg almost immediately.

01:07:50 And after knowing that Greg was going to snatch the ingredients, they broke Greg's leg on

01:07:55 the spot.

01:07:56 They even said that if Greg did not give up, he would continue hurting him until he submitted.

01:08:03 Then I sent dozens of my brothers over, but they broke their arms and legs.

01:08:08 They're still guarding the Golden Sesame Temple.

01:08:12 Jared spoke heatedly.

01:08:14 He was frustrated about being defeated.

01:08:17 This person is arrogant.

01:08:20 Someone raised his eyebrows.

01:08:22 Jared must be nothing in the eyes of the other party if they would do a thing like this.

01:08:28 "Mr. Bennett, they seem to have warriors supporting them," Jared paused and then said.

01:08:35 It's possible that they were the ones to buy all the other ingredients.

01:08:40 Jared was the only one who practiced martial arts.

01:08:44 He had achieved the beginning level of light magic under the command of Aaron Puckett.

01:08:50 A few days ago, he was injured by Gavin.

01:08:54 I'll go over.

01:08:56 After all, Jared's people were here to buy the ingredients for him, and it was only natural

01:09:01 for them to do so.

01:09:03 Besides, what they were purchasing was also a necessary ingredient in refining the ice

01:09:08 lotus.

01:09:10 Gavin originally only wanted to bring Jared over, but after the four siblings heard the

01:09:15 news, they eagerly followed them over.

01:09:19 Just like that, a large group arrived at the Golden Sesame Temple store.

01:09:25 As he got out of the car, Gavin saw dozens of Jared's men.

01:09:29 However, at this moment, every one of them was lying on the ground with bruises all over,

01:09:37 moaning in pain.

01:09:39 The leader, Greg, was kneeling in front of a middle-aged man in a flowery shirt and was

01:09:44 being humiliated without restraint.

01:09:47 Let him go!

01:09:50 Greg was his trusted aide, but unfortunately, the other party had disrespected not only

01:09:56 Greg but also Kevin.

01:09:59 Let him go!

01:10:01 The man smiled playfully and kicked Greg in the chest.

01:10:05 Greg slid backward on the ground for seven or eight meters before finally stopping in

01:10:09 front of Jared.

01:10:12 Jared hurriedly helped Greg up.

01:10:14 However, Greg violently vomited blood, and Jared could see that a significant part of

01:10:20 his chest was caved in.

01:10:22 It was unknown how many ribs were broken by the man's kick.

01:10:27 Your tempting fate!

01:10:30 Looking at Greg's miserable state, Jared gritted his teeth as if he was about to explode

01:10:35 from anger.

01:10:37 This man was provoking him!

01:10:40 Didn't you want me to let him go?

01:10:42 I've let him go.

01:10:44 So why are you saying that I'm tempting fate when I've done what you asked?

01:10:48 The flowery shirt man laughed as if he did not care about Jared's killing intent.

01:10:54 At this time, the four siblings arrived in another car.

01:10:59 The first person Dex saw was the man in the flowery shirt.

01:11:03 Jacob?

01:11:05 Dex was shocked and blurted out.

01:11:08 He didn't expect to see his master's youngest son here.

01:11:12 The man in the flowery shirt was startled as well.

01:11:16 Dex!

01:11:17 Jacob, tell me, why are you here?

01:11:22 Dex felt a headache coming on.

01:11:24 He didn't expect Jacob to hurt Jared's men after he robbed River's vault the day before

01:11:30 yesterday.

01:11:32 Was he going against Kevin's people?

01:11:36 I came here to buy some things for my wife, but unfortunately, I met a bunch of stupid

01:11:42 people, so I decided to teach them a lesson, Jacob said casually.

01:11:48 After he finished speaking, he looked at Dex and Jared and said with dissatisfaction.

01:11:53 Oh, Dex, don't tell me these idiots are yours.

01:11:59 Dex's head was spinning faster than a top.

01:12:02 Jacob, they're not my men, but my little brothers, because they're under my friend's command.

01:12:09 Friends?

01:12:11 Before Dex could finish his words, he was interrupted by Jacob with a sneer.

01:12:16 Calm now, you're saying this country bumpkin is your friend?

01:12:23 Why is there a problem?

01:12:24 Dex frowned.

01:12:25 I am.

01:12:26 He's not a problem.

01:12:30 Jacob shook his head and said in a mocking tone.

01:12:33 Well, Dex, who you want to be friends with is your problem.

01:12:37 However, I am very disappointed with you.

01:12:41 I didn't think that you would be like this after coming out of the Chinese gang.

01:12:46 You want to be friends with a low-level boss in a filthy city?

01:12:52 Jacob clicked his tongue and sighed.

01:12:54 His attitude was arrogant and his tone was irritated towards Jared.

01:13:01 Jacob was a martial artist and a high-ranking member of the Chinese gang back in Malaysia.

01:13:06 Thus, he looked down on ordinary people from the bottom of his heart.

01:13:13 Jared clenched his fists tightly.

01:13:15 His face was red from anger, but he also understood that the man in front of him was not weak.

01:13:22 From how Dex spoke to Jacob, it was not hard to tell that the man in front of him was a

01:13:27 martial artist and a high-ranking member of the Chinese gang.

01:13:32 At the very least, he was higher on the food chain than Dex was.

01:13:37 Jacob, please be more courteous to my friend.

01:13:42 Dex clenched his fist and was a bit annoyed.

01:13:45 Courteous?

01:13:47 Jacob glanced at Jared and sneered.

01:13:49 Is he worthy of that?

01:13:51 You...

01:13:52 Alright, Dex.

01:13:53 I won't waste words with you.

01:13:57 Since you're friends with this group of trash, I'll show you some mercy today.

01:14:03 I won't bother with this group of trash anymore.

01:14:07 Tell them to shit.

01:14:09 Jacob waved his hand and spoke to Jared as if he was shooing away flies at a picnic.

01:14:21 Jacob, you're being outrageous!

01:14:24 Anger was welling up in Dex's eyes.

01:14:28 Previously, in the Chinese gang, Jacob and Dex had never gotten along, but since they

01:14:34 were both served brawn, Jacob would more or less restrain himself when they interacted.

01:14:40 However, now that they were out of the Chinese gang, Jacob was a loose cannon and did not

01:14:46 honor their relationship.

01:14:48 I'm being outrageous!

01:14:51 Jacob's expression also turned cold.

01:14:54 He glanced at Dex and said, "So what if I am?

01:14:58 Dex, you want to make a move against me?"

01:15:02 Dex's cheeks were taut.

01:15:04 He tried his best to hold back and not say anything.

01:15:09 Jacob smiled calmly.

01:15:10 "If you make a move, your four siblings can attack together.

01:15:16 First, let me see if you have made any progress after leaving the Chinese gang."

01:15:23 Seeing that Dex didn't say anything, Jacob shook his head and said, "If you don't do

01:15:29 anything, then I will not leave.

01:15:31 I'm still waiting for Miss Oso."

01:15:34 "Who is Miss Oso?

01:15:37 So you've sided with her?"

01:15:40 Dex gritted his teeth and asked.

01:15:43 When he first sees Jacob there, he thinks Jacob's trying to help Bronn.

01:15:48 "You don't have the right to know Miss Oso's first name.

01:15:53 You only need to remember that Miss Oso is from the Oso family in Santa Rosa Island."

01:16:01 Jacob's expression was highly arrogant, as if submitting to Santa Rosa's Oso family was

01:16:06 extremely honorable.

01:16:09 The Santa Rosa Island Oso family?

01:16:13 Most of the people present did not understand the meaning of these words.

01:16:17 However, Dex turned pale with fright.

01:16:21 It was the Santa Rosa Oso family!

01:16:24 Dex would never have thought that Jacob would cling to that family.

01:16:29 The Oso family is one of the four great clans of Santa Rosa, a true clan of giants.

01:16:37 Rumor has it that the assets of the Oso family are worth five or six hundred billion in total.

01:16:44 Twenty years ago, when Santa Rosa became popular again, the patriarch of the Oso family had

01:16:51 also been received by one or two presidents of the U.S.

01:16:56 Even now, the upper echelons of the Oso family could still speak with the country's top officials

01:17:01 directly.

01:17:03 In recent years, even though the Oso family had lost a little popularity and money, their

01:17:09 investments in every corner of the continent still amounted to close to a hundred billion

01:17:15 on their own.

01:17:17 In all parts of the United States, there were schools and factories built by them.

01:17:22 Their influence in this country had reached an unimaginable level.

01:17:27 Dex's eyes were filled with fear.

01:17:30 If Jacob did side with the Osos, they shouldn't even think about helping Bron clean up his

01:17:35 family.

01:17:37 Even Bron might not be able to handle Jacob as long as he had the Oso family protecting

01:17:42 him.

01:17:44 There was at least one martial arts master in the Oso family, and he was pretty sure

01:17:48 that there was more than one.

01:17:51 "Did you leak the news about the Ice Lotus to the Oso family?"

01:17:56 Dex took a deep breath and asked.

01:17:59 The situation was clear now.

01:18:02 Bron was heavily injured, the Chinese gang was eradicated, and all the disciples fled

01:18:07 in different directions.

01:18:10 Some disciples were still loyal to Bron and looked around for a way to save him.

01:18:15 However, some disciples betrayed Bron and even used Bron's situation as a way to surrender

01:18:22 and join other forces.

01:18:25 Without a doubt, Jacob was one of the ones who betrayed Bron.

01:18:30 Not only did he betray him, but he told the story about the Ice Lotus, which was the only

01:18:35 thing that could save Bron's life, to the island's Oso family, treating them as his

01:18:40 own.

01:18:41 "That's right.

01:18:42 I was indeed the one who leaked the news about the Ice Lotus to the Oso family," Jacob

01:18:50 yawned lazily.

01:18:51 "Little Dex, you're pretty smart."

01:18:55 "Jacob, if the Oso family takes the Ice Lotus, Blooms, what do you expect our master to do?

01:19:04 Don't you know that only the Ice Lotus can save Master Bron?"

01:19:09 It was one thing for Jacob not to actively work to save Bron, but to divulge the news

01:19:14 that Bron relied on the Ice Lotus alone to survive was too far.

01:19:19 "What does that old man's life have to do with me?"

01:19:23 Jacob sneered.

01:19:24 "That old man is your master, not mine.

01:19:28 So don't mention him in front of me in the future.

01:19:31 His life or death has nothing to do with me."

01:19:35 Jacob's face was cold and ruthless.

01:19:38 "You... you traitor!

01:19:41 If it weren't for the fact that Master took you in years ago, you would have starved to

01:19:46 death on the streets.

01:19:48 Now that you say such words, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"

01:19:53 Dex was trembling with anger as he pointed at Jacob's nose and cursed.

01:20:00 Jacob twitched his mouth and looked indifferent.

01:20:03 "Alright, Dex, stop talking nonsense.

01:20:08 Seeing that you are my former training partner and we share some background, let me give

01:20:13 you a piece of advice.

01:20:16 For the next three days, don't appear in Beverly Hills."

01:20:22 Jacob's expression was cold.

01:20:24 "Of course, if you are unconvinced and want to come into contact with the Oso family,

01:20:32 then I certainly will not stop you.

01:20:35 However, I recommend that you prepare four coffins in advance."

01:20:40 Jacob sneered.

01:20:42 Then he turned around and left without looking back.

01:20:45 However, just as he took a few steps, an indifferent voice came from behind him.

01:20:52 "You think you can leave just like that after hurting my people?"

01:20:58 Jacob stopped and turned around with a dark expression.

01:21:01 He saw that the person who spoke was a twenty-five or twenty-six year old man.

01:21:07 At that moment, Kevin was standing with his hands behind his back, his face expressionless.

01:21:14 "Are you talking to me?"

01:21:18 When Kevin had appeared earlier, Jacob had seen him.

01:21:22 However, at that time, he had thought nothing of it and assumed that Kevin was Jared's lackey.

01:21:29 But now it seemed that he'd been mistaken.

01:21:32 Kevin, who looked average, was the boss of this group.

01:21:38 Kevin secretly led even Dex.

01:21:40 "What do you think?"

01:21:43 Kevin took a step forward and looked at Jacob with an expressionless face.

01:21:48 Jacob felt a chill in his heart.

01:21:51 He didn't know why, but he felt a vague sense of danger from Kevin.

01:21:56 Suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, Jacob said in a deep voice, "You want to bicker

01:22:02 with me over a few ordinary people?"

01:22:06 Ordinary people?

01:22:07 This was Jacob's view of Greg and the others.

01:22:11 As far as he was concerned, ordinary people and martial artists were entities from two

01:22:16 completely different worlds.

01:22:19 Millions of people live in the US, but the number of warriors was less than a few thousand.

01:22:26 Every warrior was an absolute elite.

01:22:30 Their identities were also incomparably honored.

01:22:34 To an influential martial artist, ordinary people were nothing more than ants.

01:22:39 Therefore, Kevin shouldn't mind that a few ants get killed here and there.

01:22:45 They had only been injured that day anyway.

01:22:48 To offend a fighter for a few ordinary people, this act was very foolish.

01:22:55 Ordinary people?

01:22:57 Kevin frowned and shook his head calmly.

01:22:59 "They are not ordinary people.

01:23:02 They are my brothers."

01:23:03 "Your brothers?"

01:23:09 Jacob suddenly laughed.

01:23:11 Then he suddenly retracted his smile and said with a cold face, "How do you intend to stand

01:23:16 up for your brothers?"

01:23:19 "Well, you could cut off your arm, or you could die."

01:23:23 Kevin was expressionless.

01:23:25 "Cut off my arm?"

01:23:28 Jacob laughed.

01:23:29 "Kid, are you kidding me?

01:23:31 Do you fucking know who I am?"
