Chapter 184

Chapter 184 up with a Bane silently crouched down and examined Tracias body .

After a moment , he stood grim expression and said , She mustve encountered a skilled martial artist .

What kind of master could kill a Rhodes family security chief ? Michael demanded angrily .

Bane remained silent for a moment , his face unusually grave .

At the very least , someone on the level of a junior grandmaster or maybe even a full grandmaster .

He continued , The ability to kill Tracia with a single punch is leagues beyond those amateurs who had just learned the basics .

Come on , Bane , you cant be serious , Michael said in horror .

How could there be a grandmaster hiding in this place ? To Michael , a grandmaster was practically a living legend someone even the Rhodes family would show respect .

In his mind , those figures were untouchable , being able to kill others without breaking a sweat.

Bane snapped , I never joke about such a matter .

She died at the hands of at least a junior grandmaster .

Bane , you dont think Lauren hired them , do you ? Michael asked nervously .

Bane shot him a contemptuous look , Dont be stupid .

If she had access to such a master , would she have let Tracia drag , her into these woods , waiting for us ? This must have been a backup that arrived later .

Check if any Rhodes family elites were in the area .

Definitely not , Michael quickly replied .

If there was anyone in our family to deploy someone of that caliber , it could only be Mr.

Rhodes Senior .

Only he has that level of authority .

Bane was puzzled .

Thats strange .

Could Lauren have some powerful ally we dont know about ? Andrew ! It has to be that pretty boy Andrew .

That damn bastard ! Michael burst out through gritted teeth .

Bane stared at him in disbelief before scoffing .

Thats nonsense ! Dont underestimate him , Bane , Michael insisted , clearly haunted by past encounters .

Hes repeatedly foiled my plans and saved Lauren .

Who else could have ruined our careful plartning ? Bane mocked , Mr.

Rhodes , that guy has really gotten into your head .

Even Tracia alone wouldve been too much for him .

Dont tell me you think hes a junior grandmaster .

If that were true , you should pack your bags , leave Rhodes Corporation , and beg Lauren for mercy .

Bane genuinely thought Michael was paranoid .

A young man like Andrew could not possibly be anywhere near the level of a junior grandmaster .

Bane , how would you fare against a junior grandmaster ? Michael asked .

Bane lifted his chin proudly .

Im skilled in both medicine and martial arts , and I wouldnt back down from a fight with a junior grandmaster .

However , it depends on the situation .

Unless absolutely necessard rather not face one .

If you encounter such a martial artist , theres only one thing to do .

Whats that ? Michael asked instinctively .

Bane replied with deadly seriousness , Run for your life !
