Chapter 426: Chapter 424: 424: Hitting You is Just an Appetizer (1)

The West River Valley was originally a tributary of the Enchanted River, but after the river changed its course, it became a small canyon.

The military encampment was built in the midst of the canyon, and on the west side of the encampment lay a deep, dark cave, from which gusts of cold wind blew.

From a bird’s-eye view, one could see a very peculiar phenomenon.

The entire encampment seemed to be built around that cave, and even the closest buildings were a good hundred meters away from the cave, as if something was being guarded against.

Lukas Simon, the Head of the military encampment, stood in front of the camp, his face clouded with worry as he gazed at the cave, lost in thought.

At that moment, the Guard Commander approached and said, “Commander, young master Simon has had an accident.”

Lukas Simon was momentarily stunned before turning around and saying, “Alberto Simon? What has happened now?”

“Today, the young master took two bodyguards to the Time Restaurant, cleared out the patrons, and then got into a conflict with the Wolfe family, who had just acquired the restaurant.”

The Guard Commander hesitated before adding, “From what the young master meant, it seemed like he wanted to buy the restaurant, but the Wolfe family refused, so he broke that person’s limbs.”

“The Wolfe family?”

“Yes, the restaurant was originally owned by the Green family.”

Quickly, the Guard Commander relayed the whole story.

After listening, Lukas Simon’s expression immediately darkened, “That idiot, doesn’t even know he’s being used as a pawn!”

He tossed away the cigarette butt he was holding, turned around, and with furrowed brows said, “What’s the situation now?”

The Guard Commander hesitated before responding, “The bodyguards called and said that Barry Wolfe, the charmer Magician, arrived and broke young master Simon’s limbs.”

Lukas Simon’s face darkened again, yet he remained silent. The killing intent emanating from his body clearly conveyed his rage.

The Guard Commander lowered his head, not daring to speak.

After a long pause, Lukas Simon took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, then said, “Take that waste to the hospital, and bring Barry Wolfe here as well.”

“Yes…”

The Milton Family.

The butler hurried into the garden and said, “Master, there is news from the restaurant—Barry Wolfe has broken Alberto Simon’s limbs.”

The three people who were in the garden awaiting news burst into laughter upon hearing this.

Simon Cooper laughed and said, “Brother Milton, your plan was truly brilliant. Now let’s see how Barry Wolfe gets out of this mess.”

“He’s not getting out of anything; he’d better get ready for his funeral.”

Trent Preston sneered, “He dares to lay a hand on the nephew of the military encampment Head. Barry Wolfe is indeed too arrogant.”

Simon Cooper nodded in agreement, “Old Preston is right. We solved a big problem without lifting a finger, all thanks to Daley Rogers’s scheme.”

Troy Milton restrained a smile and said, “The show is about to begin. Shall we go have a look?”

“Sure, let’s go and watch.”

…

Barry Wolfe, the upstart charmer Magician, as a newly risen Grandmaster, attracted attention with every move he made.

The incident at the restaurant had only just occurred, and the news had already spread throughout the provincial city.

Before long, over a dozen onlookers had arrived at the restaurant.

These were well-informed individuals who had access to the higher echelons; otherwise, they would not have been privileged enough to know Alberto Simon’s identity.

When the crowd reached the restaurant and saw that Greg Jensen had indeed beaten up Alberto Simon, they were instantly stunned.

“Damn, this Barry Wolfe is really wild!”

“It’s not his first day being wild.”

“But can it be the same? Healington is thousands of miles away, and the military encampment is less than two hundred miles from here. In at most two hours, the military can reach this place.”

“Yeah, this is really ‘instant karma’.”

“What a shame, the youngest Grandmaster in history.”

“Hey, why do you think he didn’t run away?”

“Maybe he thought the military wouldn’t dare to touch him?”

“Heh heh, we’re just waiting to see the show, but he’s waiting for death.”

The surrounding whispers fell word by word into the second room, but Greg Jensen paid no heed, contentedly sitting there drinking tea, waiting for someone from the military to arrive.

After waiting for a long time, no one from the military had arrived, but Troy Milton and his two companions had already walked in first.

“Oh my, young master Simon, who beat you up like this?”

As soon as Troy Milton entered the restaurant, he feigned concern and rushed over, saying, “What happened to you…”

Alberto Simon’s limbs were broken, and his bodyguards did not dare to move him; he still lay on the ground.

Seeing Troy Milton, he was as excited as if he’d seen family, exclaiming, “Daley, your timing is perfect, hurry and call someone to teach Barry Wolfe a lesson.

I want to kill him, I must kill him!”

“Okay, I’ll call someone right away.”

Troy Milton quickly stood up, took out his cellphone, and pretended to make a call as he walked to the side.

Once in the corner, he couldn’t hold back any longer and began to laugh silently to himself.

Me, go up against Barry Wolfe?

Do I stand a chance?

This has to be a joke, right?

“Young master Simon, as your brother, I too want to avenge you, but I simply lack the power.”

At this point, Troy Milton couldn’t help but laugh out loud, “So, I suggest you and that Barry Wolfe play a game of dog-eat-dog first. Once things are settled, we can celebrate with some drinks.”

On the other side, Trent Preston approached Greg Jensen and mocked, “Master Wolfe, no harm has come to you, I see.”

Glen Wolfe angrily retorted, “Trent Preston, don’t come here causing trouble, go mind your own business!”

Trent Preston glanced at him and sneered, “So, you’ve decided to side with him, huh?”

“What’s it to you?” Glen Wolfe snapped back.

Trent Preston spoke indifferently, “I hope you can remain that resolute.”

At that moment, Greg Jensen suddenly spoke up, “You think I won’t kill you?”

“What did you say?”

Trent Preston turned instinctively, looking over in a daze.

Before he could react, he saw a fist appear before him.

Boom!

Trent Preston’s nasal bone broke at the impact, and warm blood gushed out like a fountain.

After all, he was nearly a Grandmaster, and although he couldn’t dodge the punch, his ability to take a hit was still not too shabby.

He felt his brain go blank, his body merely wobbled, but he managed to steady himself.

“You… you dare hit me?”

Trent Preston looked incredulously at Greg Jensen but quickly realized whom he was confronting.

Greg Jensen rubbed his wrist lightly and said coolly, “Hitting you is just an appetizer; do you think I might kill you?”

“You wouldn’t dare!”

Trent Preston roared in anger, “You… you better not try to scare me!”

Although his mouth expressed disbelief and defiance, his body honestly took two steps back because he knew if Barry Wolfe wanted to kill someone, he really would do it, without caring about their status.

Moreover, his own status as the Family Head of the Preston Family might be worthless in the eyes of Barry Wolfe.

For a moment, Trent Preston found himself in a dilemma, unable to defeat his opponent yet feeling too ashamed to simply walk away.

Simon Cooper stood not far away, his face full of cold mockery as he snorted, “He brings disgrace upon himself.”

Rumble!

Just then, a rumbling noise suddenly came from a distance.

Everyone rushed to the windows to look out, only to see two helicopters flying over from afar.
