Chapter 904: Chapter 904 Fools
In the interior of Ceylon Mountain, Doug Martinez, as the Left Protector, held a high and weighty position.
His skills alone were enough to command respect.
Yet just moments ago, he hadn’t even touched his opponent’s clothes before he was instantly repelled.
It was quite a blow to his pride.
But it was alright.
Fortunately, he had long since arranged more than a dozen hidden weapon boxes behind him.
Now, he had successfully kept the Mad Dragon at bay.
But he wasn’t certain if the person before him was indeed the Mad Dragon.
The so-called Mad Dragon was merely a term coined by Shadow Gate.
If they said it was so, then it was.
After all, several of Shadow Gate’s leaders were traitors from the Seven Clouds Academy.
"I don’t care who you are, hand over the Divine Dragon Tripod and I will spare your life!"
Doug Martinez had a hunch that an artifact like the Divine Dragon Tripod wouldn’t be carried around casually.
Based on speculation, the Divine Dragon Tripod should be quite large, otherwise how could one concoct medicinal pills?
Such a massive treasure would definitely be hidden in a very secretive place.
Searching the body was merely an attempt to find the weapons on the other party.
And then to capture him.
"What is the Divine Dragon Tripod? Can you eat it?"
Julius Reed raised his hands and, smiling, looked at Doug Martinez, "I’m saying, have you got the wrong person?"
"Got the wrong person?"
Doug Martinez snorted lightly, only to feel increasing pain in his chest.
His bones had been broken, after all!
"I would indeed like to have the wrong person, but that strike of yours, even a top-tier expert might not have been able to withstand it!"
He took a deep breath, sweat pouring from his forehead like rain, "You better not be the Mad Dragon, or else I will flay you and pull out your tendons!"
The Mad Dragon, oh!
A legend in the martial world.
But as the Seven Clouds Academy fell, those who had never truly crossed hands with the Mad Dragon no longer held any reverence.
Only those who had witnessed the Mad Dragon in action knew how terrifying the legend truly was.
Now, Doug Martinez was in quite a good mood.
Even if the young man before him wasn’t the Mad Dragon, he was certainly an important figure from the Seven Clouds Academy.
Then, he could still become famous throughout the world!
"Stay put! Don’t move!"
A Hidden Guard device operator walked over, reaching out to search the body.
"Sorry, only a dummy wouldn’t move!"
Julius Reed’s lips curved into a smirk, and then he suddenly reached out to grab, using the man in front of him as a shield.
"Fire the hidden weapons!"
Doug Martinez was startled.
Indeed, capturing someone from Seven Clouds Academy wasn’t going to be easy!
But before the device operators could react,
Julius Reed had already snatched the hidden weapon box from the man in front of him and quickly pulled the trigger!
At the same time, the Shadow Warriors of Ceylon Mountain returned fire.
All the lasers targeted the companion in front of Julius Reed.
In the narrow alley, flashes of light flared.
And the sporadic sounds of hidden weapon boxes echoed.
After a dozen seconds, the sounds of the weapon boxes ceased.
The alley returned to darkness.
Thud!
Julius Reed pushed the corpse in front of him aside, aiming the hidden weapon box at Doug Martinez, "Now, it’s my turn to ask you."
The alley was dead silent.
The Shadow Warriors of Ceylon Mountain, who were holding hidden weapon boxes, lay on the ground.
Each person had a bullet hole in the center of their forehead.
What had been an advantageous position for Ceylon Mountain just moments ago was now reduced to only Doug Martinez.
Severely wounded.
"You..."
Gurgle.
Doug Martinez’s throat worked, his lips turning deathly pale.
Those device operators were the elite of the elite!
Normally, one person with a hidden weapon box could suppress a small group of Hidden Guards with firepower.
But now.
All dead.
Not one left alive. 𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑝𝑢𝑏.𝘤𝑜𝘮
And Julius Reed, who had been their target from the beginning, hadn’t suffered any injuries at all.
Instead, the device operator used by Julius Reed as a human shield was completely riddled, like a wasp’s nest.
Where there had been a unit just before, now only a solitary command remained.
"You are... the Mad Dragon..."
Doug Martinez’s legs trembled, and he stood frozen in place, not daring to move an inch.
Even they of Ceylon Mountain might not be able to cleanly and efficiently take out a team of elites like this!
The pitch-black alley!
Unscathed, yet struck down by a hidden weapon within a blink of an eye.
It’s like the work of immortals.
"Mad Dragon or not, does it matter?"
Julius Reed walked over and gently pinched his face, "Ceylon Mountain, where did you get that information?"
The person before him had just revealed his affiliation, but how did Ceylon Mountain discover that he was here?
In the last assassination attempt, Ceylon Mountain’s Wyatt Carmichael was directly killed by Arden Bread!
And Arden Bread, the third-in-command of Shadow Gate, also died in the woods.
Could it be those remaining minions?
But that’s impossible.
No sooner had he left than the Wolf Cavalry lurking in the capital had already made their move and wiped those people out.
Not a single survivor.
"It’s... it’s Shadow Gate..."
At such a moment, Doug Martinez no longer dared to lie.
The look in the other’s eyes was like that of a wild beast, ready to devour him at any moment!
A nameless pressure descended.
Completely crushing Doug Martinez!
"It’s Shadow Gate that sent the message, saying that the Divine Dragon Tripod has reappeared in the Mortal World, telling us to..."
"Do you know how Wyatt Carmichael died?"
Julius Reed pressed the hidden weapon box against his head, "Wyatt Carmichael, killed by the hand of the third-in-command of Shadow Gate. Has your Ceylon Mountain been sold out and yet you help count the money for them?"
"What!"
Doug Martinez’s eyes were filled with shock.
Could it be...
"But I heard..."
"You’ve heard that Wyatt Carmichael was killed by me, and also heard that the Divine Dragon Tripod is in my possession."
Julius Reed said indifferently.
"How do you know that!"
Doug Martinez was utterly stunned, even forgetting the pain in his chest.
Those words, how could they be exactly the same as what Shadow Gate said!
"Are you a man of Shadow Gate?"
He found it unbelievable.
"I..."
Julius Reed felt a throbbing pain in his chest, nearly losing his breath and passing out.
"With your intelligence, how did you become the Left Protector?"
He had seen brainless people before, but today, Doug Martinez had redefined his understanding of stupidity.
"My uncle, is the Sect Leader of Ceylon Mountain..."
Doug Martinez said helplessly, "Our Ceylon Mountain has no grudges with Shadow Gate, why would you harm us?"
"I’m not a man of Shadow Gate!"
Julius Reed almost triggered the mechanism.
"Go back and tell your uncle, I give him a chance from Seven Clouds Academy! As long as he wages war against Shadow Gate, I will let bygones be bygones. Otherwise..."
Currently, he was in the capital, wanting to trace the whereabouts of Isabella Warm and the Divine Dragon Tripod.
Although Shadow Gate wasn’t very strong in combat, when you add Ceylon Mountain and Starlight Group, these three forces constantly harassing him were a nuisance.
If he could use Ceylon Mountain to contain Shadow Gate and then, once he was able to spare the effort, exterminate these organizations, it would be a good option.
Whoosh!
Just then.
A barely audible whooshing sound came!
"Watch out!"
Shoo!
Julius Reed raised his hand and a hidden weapon box, firing a dart straight out!
The dart collided with a Crossbow Arrow in midair, sparking a flare.
"If I’m not mistaken, they should be men of Shadow Gate."
Looking towards the distant woods, Julius Reed kept firing from the hidden weapon box in his hand.
"Get lost! Tell your uncle, if he dares to trouble me again, Seven Clouds Academy will march a thousand miles and exterminate your Ceylon Mountain!"
Hearing these words, Doug Martinez felt a weight lift off his shoulders and immediately took off running towards the distance.
He had narrowly escaped death!
"Truly from Seven Clouds Academy, so ruthless in action, you could even dodge my Crossbow Arrows."
From the darkness, two men emerged.
One of them was holding a crossbow, while the other had a lantern in his hand.
"Make your move!"
Instantly!
The large lamp shone bright as the sun, illuminating the entire alley!
Instinctively, Julius Reed shielded his eyes with his hand!
Whoosh!
A whooshing sound passed by his ears!
