Chapter 1030: Chapter 1030: Confusion
By the time Julius Reed arrived with Night Fairy, they only saw five corpses left on the ground.
There was also blood that hadn’t dried yet.
Papers were scattered all over the place, and although they had been sorted through, they still looked messy.
"Who did this."
Looking at the Young Master’s body, whose eyes would not close even in death, Julius Reed’s brow furrowed slightly.
The most important clue was gone.
He had intended to capture the Young Master and pry open his mouth to learn a thing or two about The North Sea’s secrets.
But now, the dead were destined to remain silent.
"Windy Johnson."
Templeton Lena said somewhat angrily, "I had hoped to keep that old fellow alive, but who knew Windy Johnson was so ruthless and decisive, that to leave no survivors, he actually slashed and killed the Young Master with one strike!"
He was angry every time he spoke of this matter.
He had laid a trap, but not only did he fail to capture his target, he also lost a prize that was within his grasp.
It was a complete waste of effort.
A feeling of dejection began to spread.
"Windy Johnson is a Grandmaster. How could he be killed so easily? However, I truly did not anticipate that Windy Johnson would be with the Young Master."
Julius Reed walked over, patted Templeton Lena on the shoulder, and said softly in consolation, "You should feel fortunate to still be alive under a Grandmaster’s hand!"
A Grandmaster, that is an invincible existence.
Furthermore, Windy Johnson is ranked in the middle on the Grandmaster list.
Even against an ordinary Grandmaster, he could kill with ease!
"Ah!"
Templeton Lena beat his chest and stamped his feet, his face full of disappointment.
"At least, The North Sea won’t dare to meddle with Gonzalez City for a while." Julius Reed turned his back, looking at the now cold body of the Young Master, "But I’ve always been curious, who could have injured Windy Johnson! Looking at Gonzalez City, it seems only I could do it."
He had seen Windy Johnson’s files.
Twenty-seventh on the Grandmaster Heaven List.
Adept in Scholar’s Way.
It was a unique approach among various martial arts, making it somewhat unconventional.
No one in Gonzalez City could have inflicted heavy damage on Windy Johnson, except for Julius Reed.
"Mad Dragon, a group of Martial Artists has recently infiltrated Gonzalez City in large numbers."
All of a sudden, Templeton Lena remembered this and immediately reported it to Julius Reed.
"The abilities of these people are varied, but each one is filled with killing intent! In just two days, more than twenty people have arrived in Gonzalez City."
"Is that so?"
Julius Reed’s five fingers constantly flexed, his mind churning with thoughts.
Could they all be after the Divine Dragon Tripod?
"But these people don’t seem to be targeting you. Most of them have been killed."
Templeton Lena pulled out his phone and showed one photo after another.
The people in the photos were dressed differently, clearly not from the same group.
But their fatal wounds were all the same!
On their necks were traces of a bladed weapon!
"This looks familiar."
Julius Reed took the phone and examined each photo carefully.
The more he looked, the tighter his brows knitted together.
"Brysen Beaumont... This sword technique seems to be that of Thunderpeak Hall’s Mage, Brysen Beaumont."
On the Northwestern path.
The two had once fought a grand battle!
When masters duel, it only takes a moment to understand the opponent’s moves.
Brysen Beaumont’s butcher knife could slay anything in heaven and earth.
It was incredibly fierce! 𝑛𝘰𝘷𝑝𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝘮
Now, the wounds on these corpses in the photos were all fatal from a single strike.
The mangled flesh at the wound site demonstrated the strength of the blow!
"Brysen Beaumont?"
Templeton Lena frowned and said, "Thunderpeak Hall’s Mage, appearing in Gonzalez City?"
Thunderpeak Hall dominated the martial sects and the martial world.
Seven Clouds Academy naturally knew of the great name of Brysen Beaumont.
This man, hailed as the War God, had once defeated several masters in a row, only to be jointly confined by various forces within Thunderpeak Hall.
Some days ago, Brysen Beaumont broke free with a single slash of his sword, killing eighteen people!
He headed straight for the capital city.
Afterward, he suffered a crushing defeat.
There was no news of him.
Yet, who could have expected, that this Grand Mage would actually come to Gonzalez City?
Right under their noses?
But the people of Seven Clouds Academy didn’t discover any clues.
When you think about it, it’s also quite a fright.
"Mad Dragon, are you sure you weren’t mistaken? Our intelligence network hasn’t picked up any information about Brysen Beaumont," Templeton Lena said as he looked at the photos of the dead martial artists and gently rubbed his temples.
His expression was grave.
His first task upon arriving in Gonzalez City was to arrange undercover agents at all major transportation hubs.
The moment there was any hint of trouble, Seven Clouds Academy would be the first to know.
"There is no mistake."
Julius Reed handed back the cell phone, looking out at the expansive view outside the villa, and said indifferently, "Such grandiose fighting style could only belong to Brysen Beaumont. However, what’s strange is, this Thunderpeak Hall Mage seems a bit flustered."
After the battle in the Northwest Path, he had thought Brysen Beaumont had perished.
But unexpectedly, this long-renowned Grand Mage of Thunderpeak Hall had managed to survive.
Although it was apparent that his swordsmanship had declined from its peak.
But even a lean camel is bigger than a horse!
Brysen Beaumont had killed these people quite effortlessly.
"Even if Thunderpeak Hall’s information is well-concealed, they can’t just make a living person evaporate from the Mortal World, right?"
Templeton Lena was somewhat distressed.
First, the Young Master was killed without leaving any survivors.
Now there was a huge oversight in their intelligence work.
He felt somewhat derelict in his duties.
"It’s not necessarily your fault."
Julius Reed squatted down and flipped through the documents left by The North Sea.
"The most likely possibility is that Brysen Beaumont came to Gonzalez City before you."
The documents on the ground were all unimportant trifles.
The only somewhat valuable list had the names of people who were long since dead.
"Who exactly is able to severely injure Windy Johnson and wipe out all The North Sea’s men?"
This question had baffled Julius Reed for a long time.
He couldn’t figure out if he had such a close ally?
To severely injure Windy Johnson, one would at the very least have to be a Grandmaster.
Yet Brysen Beaumont, having been severely injured by him, was not only incapable in terms of power but was also sworn enemies with Windy Johnson. So how could Brysen Beaumont help him eliminate rivals?
"Truly strange!"
Templeton Lena was equally baffled, "With Brysen Beaumont’s notorious reputation, could there really be someone ignorant of death who would deliver themselves to their doom? In the martial world, who does not know the great name of Brysen Beaumont?"
"No."
Julius Reed turned his back to Templeton Lena and said indifferently, "Look at the wounds in the pictures; they are becoming more and more rough! It indicates Brysen Beaumont is somewhat drained, struggling to cope. But the fact that he’s injured is only clear to me. Even I don’t know his whereabouts, so how would these martial world Shadow Warriors know?"
Little Gonzalez City was surprisingly full of mysteries.
The events that transpired were more bizarre than the last.
"Bring me a survivor; I want to ask some questions personally."
Julius Reed pointed at Templeton Lena, "The North Sea’s forces are wiped out in Gonzalez City; we just need to be wary of Thunderpeak Hall. Seizing this opportunity, I am planning to settle a score with Truman Ridge and then find out about Brysen Beaumont’s situation."
Tomorrow is the day the Kensington Family from Five-river Province hosts their martial arts competition.
Investigations show that Hendrick Kensington and Otis Radcliffe have close interactions.
On such an occasion, Julius Reed intends to go and see if this Young Master has any connections with The North Sea.
"Let’s go! There’s no value left here!"
He observed the villa still under renovation and shook his head, "Their choice of location is indeed quite hidden."
