Chapter 525: Sean’s Defeat
There was only a dining table separating the two as the dark energy erupted from Donald Sitwell, creating a strong force that put pressure on Sean, almost forcing him to retreat. Sean coldly snorted, “Does the Crown Prince intend to rely on his strength at the Complete Stage to bully the weak?” Without waiting for a response, Sean also unleashed his mid-stage dark energy, sitting there unfazed. Donald Sitwell did not reply, surprised that his Complete Stage power did not instantly push Sean back. He had planned to teach Sean a lesson and show him his place, but Sean’s performance left him startled and impressed. The talented individual who could walk 99 meters in a 100-meter bamboo forest was truly remarkable. Donald Sitwell silently increased his dark energy.
The scene in the restaurant became eerie as Sean and Donald Sitwell sat across from each other, their cold gazes filled with arrogance. Neither spoke as the utensils on the table trembled, creating a piercing sound. Suddenly, a loud explosion echoed through the air, causing one of the porcelain bowls to shatter from the pressure of their dark energy. Over the next half-minute, as both sides increased their dark energy, more bowls exploded one after another, turning the table of food into a mess. Finally, when Donald Sitwell increased his energy once more, the entire table erupted, with shattered porcelain and food littering the floor. Sean couldn’t hold on any longer and was forcefully pushed back, his face slightly pale. He had lost. It was inevitable to lose when he went head-to-head with a Complete Stage cultivator at his mid-stage.
However, even in defeat, he could still be proud. In contrast, although Donald Sitwell had won, there was no hint of joy on his face. He stared at Sean with his sharp eyes and asked in a deep voice, “Who exactly are you?” Indeed, who could this “Great Ape” standing before him be? Donald Sitwell had searched extensively but found no trace of information about “Great Ape” and “Gorillas.” The fact that “Great Ape’s” talent and strength were so formidable suggested that his background was impressive. Sean had claimed to have killed princes from other countries who posed a threat to him. If this was true, it meant that Sean’s background and status were likely even more prestigious than that of the Crown Prince of North Kingdom.
Facing Donald Sitwell, Sean maintained a proud posture. He never regarded Donald Sitwell with any respect. “Do you want to know?” Sean raised an eyebrow and shook his head. “I won’t tell you. Aren’t you the Crown Prince of North Kingdom? Go find out yourself!”
“Or,” he continued, “you can continue to threaten me! You can even try to kill me now and see who will die first!”
Sean became addicted to showing off. The more Donald Sitwell failed to uncover his identity, the more Sean wanted to appear mysterious and provocative. Regardless of how powerful he may or may not be, at least he wanted to project an image of being formidable and untouchable.
Donald Sitwell stood up abruptly, full of killing intent. But when he thought about the Gorillas’ leader standing behind Sean, who might be a genuine bright energy expert even in a situation where he was in the dark, he gritted his teeth and restrained himself once again. He sneered, “Fine! Very well! Your courage has successfully provoked me! I will investigate! After I find out your background and the list of the Gorillas, the day your identity is exposed will also be the day of your demise!”
Submission? Recruitment? Forget it! Sean’s behavior had made it clear to Donald Sitwell that someone like Sean would never submit to him. In that case, they would face each other head-on. Donald Sitwell refused to believe that Sean, no matter how prestigious his background or how powerful he was, could surpass the Hall of Jade. His father, Albert Sitwell, was a member of the Hall of Jade, the unquestionable ruler of the world. Furthermore, Lord Steer would soon be coming to the North Kingdom. With Lord Steer personally presiding, even if the leader of the Gorillas was indeed a bright energy expert, what could they do? If they dared to show themselves, they would only die along with Sean!
Actions spoke louder than words. After saying this, Donald Sitwell turned and walked away, not looking back. As he reached the entrance of the restaurant, he said, “The Grand Master wants to see you. If you want to see him, you can find him in the backyard!”
Upon hearing this, Sean was taken aback. The Grand Master of the North Kingdom wanted to see him? And Donald Sitwell was personally delivering the message? What kind of scheme was this? Was it because the astounding 99-meter record of “Great Ape” had alarmed the imprisoned Grand Master of the North Kingdom? Or was it that just like Albert Sitwell, the Grand Master had associated the seemingly unrelated “Great Ape” and “Sean” based solely on his 99-meter achievement and harbored suspicions about his true identity?
Therefore, did he want to meet Sean in person to confirm his speculation? Sean’s heart trembled with a sense of unease…
At that moment, Hastiff, Pastiff, Hendricks Carter, and others anxiously waited outside the building. Some worried for Sean and silently prayed, fearing that something bad would happen to him. Others worried for themselves and silently cursed, hoping that Sean would encounter trouble. Suddenly, a loud explosion came from the restaurant, causing everyone’s hearts to skip a beat. Hastiff and Pastiff exchanged glances, realizing that something was not right. They exclaimed, “What’s going on?”
It was the sound of porcelain bowls shattering. There were successive explosions, causing Hastiff, Pastiff, and the others to become increasingly anxious and pale-faced. After all, they had obtained a Confluence Pill in exchange for Sean. If Sean were to be killed by Donald Sitwell, the consequences would be unimaginable. All their previous efforts would be in vain, and the position of Grand Elder would be completely out of reach. They desperately worried but dared not interfere with Donald Sitwell in the restaurant.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Finally, a resounding explosion confirmed everyone’s worst fears. It was obvious that Sean and Donald Sitwell had fallen into conflict and were fighting!
“Serves him right!!!” Hendricks Carter secretly breathed a sigh of relief. A cold smirk appeared on his face as he sneered, “This youngster is arrogant and untamable. He dared to disrespect the Crown Prince. It is a crime deserving of death. It is better that the Crown Prince personally takes care of him. How dirty the Crown Prince’s hands will be!”
At these words, Hastiff, Pastiff, and the others felt their hearts bleeding. Shortly after, footsteps resounded, and everyone turned to see Donald Sitwell walking out of the restaurant alone, his face grim.
