Chapter 924: Chapter 924: Storm Dragon King Descends, The Final Battle Begins
Early morning.
At Brighton Lake.
Last night, there had been a rainfall, causing the ground to be a bit moist.
The air was filled with the fragrant scent of the earth.
Although the agreed time was still several hours away,
the area around Brighton Lake was already crowded with people.
Many were soaked through, looking exhausted and having trouble keeping their eyes open.
But even so, their enthusiasm was not diminished.
These people had stood by the lake day and night, not moving an inch.
Due to the overcrowding, many tourists were worried that if they left, they wouldn’t find a better spot than their current one.
So they simply stayed there.
Some even braved the drizzle, ignoring their bodies that were cold from the rain.
They squatted by the lake, staring fixedly at the water’s surface.
There, Charmy Kims sat calmly in the middle of the lake.
His body was surrounded by mist.
Even though it had rained last night, the old man remained as still as a bell.
If anyone could observe up close, they would be astonished!
Because Charmy Kims’s body was not wet at all.
"I am quite looking forward to this battle..."
On the other side of the park, Nikodem Lee sat on a chair, pointing toward the middle of the lake, "Today, I want to see whether Julius Reed has three heads and six arms, or nine lives!"
Hatred filled his eyes!
His favorite youngest son had died a horrible death!
His body completely destroyed.
Ultimately, not even ashes remained.
Now, he had come early to witness the scene of Julius Reed being killed!
Next to Nikodem Lee, Darrell Huntington likewise lied on a chair, his legs covered with a blanket.
An umbrella was overhead.
Even though the place was packed, within five meters of their location, no one dared to disturb them.
A fence surrounded them outside, with several bodyguards stationed nearby.
Extremely special treatment.
"Heh, mere youthful arrogance. Today, Master Kensington will personally teach him a lesson,"
Darrell Huntington shook his head, scorn in his eyes, "He even dared to claim he would force me to death within half a month, I’ve been waiting indeed. I fear, Julius Reed won’t survive today!"
He remembered his grandson being killed, and the memorial hall destroyed!
Even he himself had been publicly threatened.
Darrell Huntington wished he could tear Julius Reed apart with his own hands!
But, he couldn’t.
This vengeance, he had suppressed for many days.
Finally, Charmy Kims had arrived!
Vice Chairman of the Martial Arts Association, a Grandmaster.
Yesterday, Charmy Kims’s guidance in martial arts to Claude Reed had already caused a sensation.
Almost overnight, the news spread across the Eastern lands!
The Martial Arts Association had completely become a golden brand!
Now, they quietly waited.
Waiting for their mortal enemy to accept the challenge.
"Julius Reed might have some skills, but if he really fights Charmy Kims, he is undoubtedly destined to lose,"
Lawrence Koller leaned back in his chair, speaking indifferently, "It’s a case of ’why produce Lu when you have Yu’ but Julius Reed is indeed young and would certainly achieve great things in the future. What a pity..."
His Koller Family, staunchly stood behind Darrell Huntington.
"Master Kensington’s skill in raising waves with a mere gesture is something few in the world can achieve. Julius Reed might be adept with his fists and feet, but today, he faces a godlike figure!"
Bryson Stephen looked at the blurry figure on the lake, his eyes full of anticipation.
He had had enough!
As long as Julius Reed was alive, they would never know peace.
"After today, there will be a huge shift in the capital’s power structure. The downfall of Marthew Abernathy has become inevitable. We must kick him while he’s down!"
Lawrence Koller clenched his fists, swinging fiercely at the air before him.
That day at the Lee Family’s gateway, he had almost been run over by Marthew Abernathy.
He even developed a heart condition from the shock, resulting in his hospitalization.
A profound hatred, Lawrence Koller always remembered!
He had refrained from acting only due to the chaos in the capital.
Now, an opportunity given by fate.
"To my knowledge, many rich merchants in the capital have already distanced themselves from Marthew Abernathy and turned to support us. Mr. Carmichael is really becoming a lonesome man,"
Nikodem Lee’s lips curled slightly upward.
They awaited the death of Julius Reed, while on the other side of the park, some hoped to see a spectacular fight.
"May the battle today not be too mediocre. Otherwise, should Master Kensington strike like a dragon and kill his opponent with one move, our anticipation would be in vain,"
A group of old men sat under a tree, eyes fixed on the river’s surface.
"I’m afraid you will be disappointed,"
Someone shook their head, "Even Claude Reed, a martial artist who had reached the physical limits, couldn’t withstand a single move. I heard that Master Kensington’s opponent this time is a young man."
"A young man?"
Several martial artists frowned slightly, "A young man dares to fight? Then why would Master Kensington pick on a young man?"
In martial arts, even a prodigy cannot achieve greatness in their youth.
Below fifty years old, there is no Grandmaster.
Even someone as talented as Claude Reed only reached his physical peak in his sixties.
He barely touched the threshold of becoming a Grandmaster.
As for enlightenment?
Who among those who reached their physical limits isn’t a one-in-ten-thousand rarity?
What they lacked was merely an opportunity.
The chance to comprehend the universe.
Those fortunate enough to encounter such chances could then comprehend martial arts,
and become a Grandmaster.
"I’m afraid he wouldn’t withstand a single move."
Disappointment flickered in the Martial Artist’s eyes.
A young man?
Mere slaughter.
Meanwhile, to the north of the park, sat two elderly men dressed in brocade robes.
One of them had a six-star badge on his chest!
The other had a four-star badge.
Behind them stood dozens of disciples from the Martial Arts Association.
"I heard the President was in a fierce battle yesterday, and he hurt his shoulder?"
The four-star martial artist, a permanent council member of the Martial Arts Association, Baron Grey, asked.
He was accompanying the President on this trip, prepared for any emergency.
"A woman—it was very strange."
Jerry Anderson frowned slightly as he spoke.
"She was young and had no aura in her body, yet she could withstand my lethal blow and even destroyed my Divine Weapon!"
With one sword strike, she shattered the air wave he had formed from tree leaves.
It was very strange.
"After the decisive battle, I sent someone to investigate,"
Baron Grey said, gazing ahead.
Silence.
The entire park fell into a moment of silence.
No one spoke.
All eyes were fixed on the direction of the entrance.
That was the only entrance.
If Julius Reed were to attend the appointment, he had to pass through here.
Tens of thousands of eyes stared fixedly.
Time ticked by every minute, every second.
Until noon.
Still, there was no sign of a person.
"Too scared to come?"
Someone murmured softly.
"Facing a Grandmaster and fearing battle is no disgrace. We are all Martial Artists. To knowingly face the insurmountable requires great courage."
Many felt disappointed.
The stage was set, but the protagonist was nowhere in sight.
But just then, someone cried out in surprise!
"Look! What is that in the sky?"
The quiet park was abruptly disrupted by this cry.
Countless eyes turned towards the sky.
But the glaring sun made it hard for them to keep their eyes open.
Yet a tremendous roar of sound seemed to suggest...
"It’s a helicopter!"
Someone put on sunglasses, and could vaguely see a helicopter hovering a hundred meters in the air.
"What is that!"
Suddenly, a dark spot appeared under the helicopter.
The dark spot plummeted rapidly from a hundred meters up, growing larger in outline!
When it was less than thirty meters above the lake, everyone could finally see clearly.
It was a person!
A person falling straight down!
"Julius Reed, I’ve come to send you off!"
A robust voice thundered through the park, reaching everyone’s ears!
Boom!
The next moment!
The surface of the lake burst open!
Towering waves dozens of meters high surged!
PS: My sister gave birth. I went to visit her today, and it was already evening when I returned.
I’ll work through the night tonight.
Definitely five updates.
As long as I can bear it, as long as I don’t fall ill.
The updates won’t be interrupted. 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓅𝓊𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
Please understand if I occasionally have things to handle. I will definitely make up for it afterward.
After all, writing truly does take a lot of time.
And I don’t have any drafts saved, so if things come up, I must make up for it in the middle of the night.
