Chapter 1212: Chapter 1122: The Truth
"Whose sword is the fastest you’ve seen?"
Facing an aggressive bodyguard, Julius Reed didn’t rush to act but countered with a question.
"A sword?"
Bright King suddenly found the young man before him quite amusing.
"The fastest sword, isn’t it the Lowell Tennyson?"
The North Sea Royal Court is part of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance.
And Lowell Tennyson is a grand sect!
There’s an intersection between them.
As the son of the Left Minister of the North Sea, Bright King had some understanding of the grand sects across the world.
The ambition of the King of the North Sea was to overthrow the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance and sit in that position himself.
And the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance, commanding all grand sects!
As the financier of the North Sea, Bright King not only knew about Lowell Tennyson but had even visited it.
"The fastest sword in the world is my sword."
Julius Reed picked up the teacup and gently took a sip.
"Your sword?" Bright King laughed outright, "What an interesting person. To tell the truth, I’m somewhat reluctant to kill you. In my more than twenty years of life, you are the first person who has said he wants to kill me."
Who is he?
The son of the Left Minister!
The Royal Court, through years of management, had long turned Star City into their stronghold!
Someone on his own turf saying they want to kill him?
A joke!
Bright King thought he’d encountered a madman, which actually might be amusing, good for a laugh.
"Kneel before our Master Bright!"
A hefty man walked behind Julius Reed and placed his heavy hand on his shoulder.
"Hm?"
But after exerting a little force, a look of astonishment flashed across the hefty man’s face.
He couldn’t lift him?
"If someone asks you after your death who had the fastest sword in the world," Julius Reed put down his teacup, his lips curling slightly, "tell them it was mine."
Swish!
A streak of golden light flashed!
Bright King hadn’t even seen what had happened.
The hefty man’s head had already rolled onto the ground.
Blood splattered everywhere.
Bright King blinked, touching his face with his hand.
It was blood!
Scalding human blood!
"Protect Young Master Bright!"
The remaining seven men immediately charged forth!
Puff!
Julius Reed abruptly rose, his long sword wildly sweeping!
Four more men fell into pools of blood!
Of Bright King’s eight bodyguards, only three grandmasters remained.
"Who... who exactly are you!"
Bright King, regaining his composure, felt fear for the first time.
He stood up, took a deep breath, his heart pounding!
"I’ve told you," Julius Reed, holding the long sword, looked at him, "I’m the one who will kill you."
"Attack! Kill him, and I will reward you handsomely!"
Bright King shouted fiercely, hiding behind the bodyguards.
There were three grandmasters!
He was fully confident.
It was just that the opponent’s sudden move had scared him.
"Three grandmasters?"
Julius Reed eyed the three men in front of him.
They were indeed grandmasters.
But they had only just touched the threshold of martial arts.
"It seems you really do have some status. Having three grandmasters as bodyguards, quite impressive."
Clang.
Julius Reed set his Long Night sword on the table, looking at the three men: "To kill you, I don’t need a sword."
"Arrogant!"
One grandmaster, feeling humiliated, clenched his fists tightly.
"Is that so?"
Julius Reed raised an eyebrow, "I’m just telling the truth."
Swish!
In the next moment,
he became a blur!
Before the speaking grandmaster could react, Julius Reed’s right hand was already gripping his neck!
He spun him around violently!
Swoosh!
The grandmaster crashed to the ground, a trickle of blood leaking from his mouth.
Crack!
Before he could react, Julius Reed stomped down!
He stepped directly and broke the opponent’s neck.
The Grandmaster’s body jerked.
He died instantly.
In the blink of an eye, a Grandmaster was slain!
The remaining two, stunned in place.
What...
What kind of monster is this?
After becoming Grandmasters, both were highly revered by martial artists.
But today, for the first time, they doubted their lives.
A noble Grandmaster, killed in an instant?
"Shall we go together, or one by one?"
Julius Reed clapped his hands, looking at the two dumbfounded men and shook his head, "Never mind. I’ll decide for you."
Having said that,
he burst forward!
Crack!
Julius Reed’s elbow fiercely struck out, directly shattering the ribs of the two Grandmasters!
Thump! Thump! Thump!
The two men staggered back several steps, not even catching their breath.
Pfft!
Two chopsticks, respectively, jabbed into their hearts.
"Alright, now can we talk?"
Julius Reed sat on a chair, looking at the terrified Bright King in front of him and tilted his head, "Won’t you sit?"
"Sit! I’ll sit!"
Bright King’s legs went weak, and he quickly sat down on a chair, shaking all over.
And Dominic Pendleton on the ground was even more dumbfounded.
He had seen Julius Reed jump from the nineteenth floor before and knew he had some skills.
But he never imagined this was almost god-like!
"I..."
Before Dominic Pendleton could speak, Julius Reed interrupted him directly, "Were you just planning to betray me?"
"No..."
Looking at the corpses scattered on the ground, Dominic Pendleton was somewhat incoherent in his speech.
He almost regretted it to death!
"I don’t lack money," Julius Reed said indifferently.
"Huh?"
Dominic Pendleton didn’t understand the meaning of this sentence.
"So, I don’t need your wealth."
Julius Reed lightly laughed, his teacup suddenly flying out of his hand!
Whoosh!
The teacup, like a dart, directly hit Dominic Pendleton in the center of the forehead.
It shattered into pieces.
And Dominic Pendleton...
died with his eyes wide open.
Whoosh!
After killing Dominic Pendleton, Julius Reed fiercely slammed the table, and five chopsticks vibrated from it.
Whoosh!
His right hand waved lightly!
Five chopsticks, like darts,
directly pierced through the hearts of Dominic Pendleton’s confidants.
The massive impact pinned the five men against the wall.
"Now, it’s quiet."
Julius Reed, looking at the still horrified Bright King in front of him, asked lightly, "What is your role in the imperial court?"
No response.
Bright King, to this point, still hadn’t recovered from the shock.
"Excuse me, I’m talking to you. Please show some respect."
Julius Reed, knocking on the table with the Grandnight Sword, scared Bright King into a shudder!
"I... outside, I am the Chief Financial Officer!"
Bright King numbly wiped the blood from his face, his mind blank.
"The imperial court, it’s the remnant of The North Sea, then who is the current king of the imperial court!"
Julius Reed asked again.
"It’s... it’s Everton Davenport!"
Bright King inhaled sharply, his tongue already tied as he spoke.
This was terrifying!
Three Grandmasters, even before they could make a move, were killed!
"Everton Davenport?" Julius Reed frowned slightly, asking again, "In the battle of The North Sea, wasn’t Everton Davenport already dead? As far as I know, Kyler Reed impersonated Everton Davenport to start a national war, and after the defeat, the real Everton Davenport was killed! Isn’t his head still hanging on the city wall of Ivory Bay?"
This was the information from Night Fairy and Lily Jorden.
There should be no mistake.
"How... how do you know?" Bright King, eyes wide, incredulously asked, "This is..."
"I ask, you answer,"
Julius Reed said coldly.
"Alright..." Bright King gritted his teeth and said, "Kyler Reed impersonated Everton Davenport by Baylor Davenport’s instruction, who in turn acted under Everton Davenport’s orders! The head hanging at Ivory Bay is someone else’s! As far as I know... it was after receiving these orders that he acted. If defeated, he could then fabricate his own death."
"It’s said that the person was a maidservant of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance Grandmaster. The national battle of The North Sea was a collaboration between the Grandmaster’s maidservant and the king of The North Sea..."
