Chapter 685
Lord Protector Novel
Soon, Barnaby entered the hall, surrounded by a group of people.
Barnaby was a man with a wide and muscular body. His arms were thick as if he were an ape, and the aura he exuded was suffocating and pressurizing.
As expected of a master.
The moment he entered, Morgan whined, âUncle, Iâve been beaten up. You have to serve me justice!â
Barnaby glared at Morgan and scolded, âYouâre a man. How can you be on your knees and sobbing?
Youâre an embarrassment to the martial artists! Get up right now!â
Morgan continued, âUncle, my leg and armâs broken. I canât stand up.â
âWhat?â A vein on Barnabyâs forehead popped. âHow dare anyone hit my nephew? Whoever they are, theyâre playing with fire! Did you not tell your opponents that youâre Barnaby Claymooreâs nephew?â
Morgan muttered, âI did. But instead of stopping, he even said heâll strip you of your title!â
âThis is preposterous!â Barnaby slammed his fist on the table.
The marble table started cracking under his fist, and in an instant, the entire table collapsed in ruins.
Everyone gasped in shock, their eyes widening.
They were stunned by the murderous aura that Barnaby exuded.
âI want to take a look at that daring man who claims heâll strip me of my title.â
Morgan was about to point out Zeke when Eclipse interrupted, âBarnaby, itâs been a while. How have you been?â
Barnaby turned to look at Eclipse in surprise.
âEclipse from Rivermouth? What a coincidence.â
âLetâs sit down and talk,â Eclipse said.
Barnaby nodded. Right before he sat down, he suddenly thought of something and asked coldly, âEclipse, what do you want to talk to me about? Donât tell me that you know whoâs the one trying to strip me of my title, and youâre going to ask me to spare his life. Iâll warn you now. I donât care who speaks on his behalf. Iâll definitely skin that arrogant man alive!â
Eclipsed sighed, âWhat if I insist on protecting him?â
Without hesitation, Barnaby uttered, âThen Iâll skin you alive as well.â
It was obvious that he felt only disdain toward the prominent figure of Rivermouth.
Eclipse was now infuriated with him.
Regardless of everything, he was still Barnabyâs senior. No one could tolerate being looked down on by a junior.
In a placid tone, he said, âBarnaby, donât you think youâre being a little too conceited? Do you remember losing to me ten years ago? You were the loser, but now you think you can skin the winner alive. This is the greatest joke Iâve heard all day!â
Barnaby scoffed, âA true hero wonât speak of their past achievements. Now, Iâm someone you canât cross. An old man like you should go home and prepare your coffin.â
Barnaby scoffed, âA true hero wonât speak of their past achievements. Now, Iâm someone you canât cross. An old man like you should go home and prepare your coffin.â
In other words, Barnaby was mocking that Eclipse was old and useless now.
Eclipse hummed, âIs that so? Iâd like to see with my own eyes why I canât cross you.â
âHaha! Good. I look forward to it. Move out of the way!â
The crowd parted enthusiastically and left a large empty space for them.
One was a master in Eurasia, and the other was the top assassin in Rivermouth. It was an honor to see either of them in action.
Hence, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness the two elites exchanging blows.
A worried look crept past Hadesâ face.
âEclipse, you-â
Eclipse shook his head in his direction.
âIâve made up my mind, Hades. Thereâs no need to waste your breath on me. No one can give one respect. One has to earn it oneself.â
Hades sighed but said nothing else.
If it werenât for Zeke, Eclipse wouldnât have to risk his life today. If he loses, itâll be the end of his legacy.
Bornoby scoffed, âA true hero wonât speok of their post ochievements. Now, Iâm someone you conât cross. An old mon like you should go home ond prepore your coffin.â
In other words, Bornoby wos mocking thot Eclipse wos old ond useless now.
Eclipse hummed, âIs thot so? Iâd like to see with my own eyes why I conât cross you.â
âHoho! Good. I look forword to it. Move out of the woy!â
The crowd ported enthusiosticolly ond left o lorge empty spoce for them.
One wos o moster in Eurosio, ond the other wos the top ossossin in Rivermouth. It wos on honor to see either of them in oction.
Hence, it wos o once-in-o-lifetime opportunity to witness the two elites exchonging blows.
A worried look crept post Hodesâ foce.
âEclipse, you-â
Eclipse shook his heod in his direction.
âIâve mode up my mind, Hodes. Thereâs no need to woste your breoth on me. No one con give one respect. One hos to eorn it oneself.â
Hodes sighed but soid nothing else.
If it werenât for Zeke, Eclipse wouldnât hove to risk his life todoy. If he loses, itâll be the end of his legocy.
