Chapter 253
The Hidden-Ghost Juggernaut raised their head and stared straight ahead as they asked coolly, âAre you the real Smiling Grim Reaper?â
A chilling murderous aura swept through the room.
No one bled, but the rusty smell of blood permeated the air.
The sun still hung high in the sky, but their surroundings turned chilly.
Zakariah and Brian shuddered.
The students of the Hero Martial Arts School felt a tightness in their chests. It was like a large, invisible hand wrapped around their throats.
Was this just how terrifyingly powerful a Profound Reality Realm master was?
Was their aura enough for them to experience shortness of breath?
âDamn itâ¦â
Nash snorted coolly before he leaped down and landed in front of the Hidden-Ghost Juggernaut.
A terrifying, murderous aura washed over the room.
âQuick⦠letâs goâ¦â
The expression on the Hidden â Ghost Juggernautâs face changed rapidly as he took numerous steps
backward.
He had grown accustomed to killing during his time in Grestin during the fifties.
In the dozen years that had passed since then, no less than eighty people had lost their lives because
of him.
The murderous aura that had accumulated within him was more than enough to assert dominance
over a Stage Five Grandmaster.
However, the murderous aura that the Smiling Grim Reaper emanated had completely pulverized his
own.
If his murderous aura could be described as the careless flow of a river, the Smiling Grip Reaperâs
murderous aura was comparable to that of the crashing waves of an ocean during a massive storm.
The two were not comparable at all.
The Hidden-Ghost Juggernaut turned and walked away.
Frank also realized this was the real Smiling Grim Reaper they were dealing with and hurriedly dragged his still-dazed son out of the mansion with him.
Zakariah brushed away the goosebumps on his arm and hurried forth. âYou⦠you areâ¦â
Nash leaped into the air and entered Skadiâs room again by jumping through her window.
âYou were so cool, Nash⦠I have no doubts youâd make a great Smiling Grim Reaperâ¦â
Justin had been hiding behind the curtains and had witnessed everything that happened. He smiled sheepishly while giving Nash a thumbs-up.
âAnyone can become the Smiling Grim Reaper when they wear the costume. Didnât the Watsons treat
you like the Smiling Grim Reaper when you visited them last night?â Nash asked as he took off the mask, a smile on his face.
The Smiling Grim Reaper had made a name for himself, which is why anyone could create a sense of oppression just by donning the costume.
Skadi leaned against her bedâs headboard and smiled. âYou know, you really do look the part when youâre wearing that costume!â
Nashâs height and build were similar to the actual Smiling Grim Reaperâs.
Moreover, because he had mastered the Profound Reality Realm, there was a natural air of confidence about him. It was something Justin could not imitate.
Nash returned the outfit to Justin and gently reminded him. âDonât wear these too much. They may bring you honor and respect, but theyâll also put you in danger!â
The Smiling Grim Reaper had plenty of enemies.
If one did not have the skills to back themselves up, they could easily get themselves in trouble if they
donned this outfit.
âGot it, Nash!â
Justin nodded and folded the clothes before leaving Skadiâs room.
He opened the door and nearly bumped into Bianca, who was holding a medicine bowl.
Thankfully, Bianca had quick reflexes, and she successfully dodged aside and did not drop the bowl.
âSo sorry, Bianca!â Justin hurriedly apologized.
âNo worries!â
Bianca responded half-heartedly before entering the room.
A disgruntled look appeared on Skadiâs face. âDidnât I just drink this in the morning? Why do I have to take more medicine now?â
She had drunk no less than ten bowls of medicine since yesterday.
âThatâs a question youâll have to ask your coach!â Bianca replied, a smile forming on her red lips.
âHow much longer do I need to drink all this medicine, Nash?â Skadi asked as she turned to look at
Nash.
âAnother three days!â
âOh, god, you guys should just kill me!â
A look of despair appeared on Skadiâs face, but she obediently picked up the bowl and held her nose as she chugged its contents.
She had to get better soon so her grandfather and martial brothers could stop worrying.
At the Chateau Hotel.
Olivia welcomed Walter Watson, the richest man in the country.
Walter sat at the dining table, smiling slightly as he asked, âIâm sure you know what happened to the Lane familyâs patriarch last night, right?â
