Chapter 503: Second Humiliation
Hastiff’s residence was adjacent to the Hall of Lords, separated only by a wall. Even if one were to go around, it was only a few hundred meters away. When Sean arrived, the entrance to the residence was already filled with disciples from the academy. It was clear they had heard that the Jefferson family from the provincial capital had come to find Sean and were eager to see the commotion.
“Look!”
“The Great Ape is here!”
A cry of astonishment emerged from the crowd. The next moment, the disciples all turned to look at Sean, their expressions filled with anticipation and excitement. Sean’s steps didn’t halt. Just as he reached the entrance of the residence, the disciples on either side voluntarily made way for him.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
Thus, in full view of everyone, Sean walked into the residence. In front of the stone platform in the residence, several people stood. Dean Hastiff sat opposite an elderly man, while a dozen others stood behind the elderly man, each exuding extraordinary temperament, varying in their levels from mid to peak dark energy!
Betty Jefferson, who Sean had poked in the chest the previous day, was also present.
“Grandfather!”
Upon seeing Sean, Betty Jefferson’s eyes flashed as she immediately pointed at Sean, gritted her teeth, and said, “It’s him!”
“He is the Great Ape!”
Suddenly, including the elderly man, everyone turned to look at Sean.
“Yes!”
“It’s me!”
The moment he spoke, Sean subjected Betty Jefferson to a second humiliation. Even in the presence of so many experts from the Jefferson family, he showed no hint of guilt or fear. Furthermore, Sean’s voice was loud enough to be heard from a hundred meters away. This immediately caused a stir among the disciples outside the door, leaving them wide-eyed and almost dropping their jaws.
Damn!
He truly lives up to the name Great Ape. It seems that no matter what situation he faces, he doesn’t show fear!
“Outrageous!”
Just as Sean finished speaking, a middle-aged man shouted angrily and charged straight towards Sean. This man possessed the strength of late-stage dark energy and was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Sean, his dark energy erupting as he reached for Sean’s neck.
Sean’s reaction was not slow!
Swoosh!
Almost at the same moment the middle-aged man made his move, Sean dodged, moving so quickly that it was hard to keep up.
As a result, a bizarre scene unfolded in the residence. Two figures, one after the other, chased and evaded each other. Despite being a high-level expert of the Jefferson family in the late stage of dark energy, he couldn’t catch Sean. He didn’t even manage to touch Sean’s clothes!
No wonder!
After all, Sean was a genuine bright energy powerhouse. Although he had suppressed his own level to the mid-stage of dark energy, he didn’t need to deliberately suppress his speed. Hence, evading someone in the late stage of dark energy was a piece of cake for Sean.
Soon, Sean shook off the middle-aged man and arrived in front of Hastiff and the others. Just as he stopped, the middle-aged man caught up and, without a word, aimed a fierce punch at Sean’s head.
Evidently, after being toyed with by Sean, the middle-aged man was truly angry.
This time, Sean chose not to continue evading. Instead, he also raised his fist, his dark energy erupting as he directly collided with the middle-aged man’s fist. He was curious to see how much of a difference there would be when facing a high-level expert in the late stage of dark energy while suppressing his own level to the mid-stage.
“Mr. Great, don’t be reckless!”
Hastiff’s expression suddenly changed dramatically as he stood up abruptly, wanting to intervene. After all, the Academy’s martial arts competition was about to take place. He had obtained the Confluence Pill in exchange for Sean, his precious treasure. If Sean was injured by the experts of the Jefferson family, it wouldn’t be worth it!
Unfortunately, it was too late!
Boom!
Hastiff’s words had barely been spoken before there was a deafening explosion. Sean’s and the middle-aged man’s fists had fiercely collided.
Whether it was the Jefferson family, led by the elderly man, or the disciples outside the door, all of them had their pupils contracted, staring at Sean and the middle-aged man, eager to see the outcome of this clash of fists.
The next moment, they saw it!
They witnessed Sean being forced back a step by the middle-aged man’s punch, and likewise, the middle-aged man was also forced back by Sean’s punch, each retreating two meters, creating a stalemate!
Equal in strength!
It could be considered a draw!!!
Seeing this, including the elderly man, everyone from the Jefferson family was stunned, and so were the academy’s disciples outside. Two individuals with a difference of one realm had actually reached a draw? If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, it would have been hard to believe!
“This!”
“Is this the combat strength of someone in the late stage of dark energy?”
Ignoring the astonished looks around him, Sean retracted his fist, smirked arrogantly, and said, “I thought he was much stronger, but it seems he’s just so-so. After I advance to the dark energy stage in the future, I could take on ten of him single-handedly!”
Arrogant!
He was still so arrogant!
However, at this moment, no one harbored any disdain or scorn towards Sean’s arrogant words because once again, Sean had proved with his actions that even facing experts in the late stage of dark energy, he had the qualifications to be arrogant.
“He is indeed a young hero!”
The elderly man scrutinized Sean for a moment and couldn’t help but praise him, even though Sean was the one he had come to question. He said in a deep voice, “Betty lost to you; no wonder!”
Little did they know that before Sean’s arrival, Hastiff had roughly briefed the elderly man on Sean’s situation. The elderly man had been skeptical and had not immediately stopped the middle-aged man from attacking Sean, wanting to witness Sean’s abilities with his own eyes to see if they were as formidable as Hastiff had claimed.
Now, he had seen it!
He believed it!
Sean turned to look at the elderly man, who continued, “I am Gloy Jefferson, the head of the Jefferson family in the provincial capital. In my youth, I studied at the Plainwater Town branch for several years. Mr. Hastiff is my senior brother!”
“I understand the rules of the Plainwater Town branch!”
“Sparring, injuries, and bruises are inevitable in a fight. It’s nothing worth mentioning!”
“However…”
Gloy Jefferson’s tone turned somewhat cold, and he snorted, “Mr. Great is strong, and he wins, but intentionally humiliating the disciples of our Jefferson family, as the head of the Jefferson family, I cannot tolerate it!”
“Therefore!”
“Even with Mr. Hastiff vouching for you, even with your extraordinary talent and formidable combat power, today, in front of me, in front of Betty, in front of Mr. Hastiff and the disciples of the Plainwater Town branch, you must give our Jefferson family an explanation!”
“Otherwise!”
“Don’t blame me for being impolite!”
As he spoke, Gloy Jefferson’s powerful dark energy surged, and a dozen experts of the Jefferson family quietly surrounded Sean.
“Oh really?”
Sean met Gloy Jefferson’s gaze, completely ignoring the presence of the Jefferson family’s experts. He spoke mockingly, “The granddaughter lost a fight, and the head of the Jefferson family brings all of their experts here in the dead of night to question me. Truly, a prominent family in the provincial capital!”
“An explanation?”
“What kind of explanation do you want from me?”
As he spoke, Sean turned to look at Betty Jefferson and added, “Miss Jefferson was indeed injured by me. I did use her scabbard to publicly poke her chest, and not just once. If she’s in pain, maybe… she’d like me to help her massage it out???”
