Chapter 1423: Chapter 1423: Face Must Be Given

“Uncle Cook, empty accusations have no merit! You say I… say he stole the Cook Family’s recipe and elixirs, where’s the evidence! Bring out the evidence!”

Ambrose Young was no fool, connecting the dots from Julius Reed being surrounded by the crowd in Cloud Pavilion, he guessed most of it.

Flynn Cook was doing this simply to shut the Young Family up and fabricate a reason.

“Ambrose, I will explain this matter to your mother, of course. But now, I must ensure that the Cook Family’s pill formula is not leaked! As for witnesses, all the heroes by my side are witnesses!”

Flynn Cook was well aware that the longer this dragged on, the less advantageous it would be for them!

If they could force the young man to concoct pills for them, that would be a splendid outcome.

But given how things had escalated, and seeing the young man’s attitude, it was clear he wouldn’t cooperate!

Much likely, he had reached a cooperation with Gabriel Young.

The Young Family was already powerful, with the “Two Kings” suppressing the “Four Ministers” for hundreds of years. If Gabriel Young acquired such a formidable Martial Artist, how would the Cook Family ever rise again?

He’d rather miss out himself than let the Young Family benefit!

As long as he didn’t harm Ambrose Young, and after killing the masked man in front of him, he could personally pay a visit and apologize.

By then, Gabriel Young would have no choice but to swallow her anger!

Would she make enemies on all sides over a dead man?

Impossible!

“No! You can’t touch him!” Ambrose Young steeled his heart and commanded his bodyguards behind him: “Attack! Even if we all die today, we must protect my father! I want to see if you dare to kill all my bodyguards and me, and if you are not afraid of the Young Family’s retribution!”

After speaking, Ambrose Young pulled out a hidden weapons box from his bodyguard’s waist, aiming at a Martial Artist!

“Kid, you’re courting death!” That Martial Artist sneered with a twisted smile as a dagger broke through the air!

“No!”

Flynn Cook was shocked and wanted to intervene, but it was too late!

This Martial Artist wasn’t a local and had no idea how dreadful the consequences would be for killing Ambrose Young!

And Ambrose Young was just an ordinary person without any special ability!

Flynn Cook’s heart was in his throat!

How would this situation be resolved!

Clang!

But suddenly, a streak of fire flashed by, knocking the dagger away.

Ambrose Young stood there stunned, gazing at the fallen dagger, completely petrified.

“Huh?”

The Martial Artist who had made his move furrowed his brow slightly and turned his head towards Julius Reed: “Was that you who intervened?”

The speed was so fast, he hadn’t even clearly seen what happened.

“There’s something I need to make clear.” Julius Reed raised a hand, pointing towards that Martial Artist: “Even though he’s not my son, he called me ‘Dad’ once, and you must respect that.”

“What?”

The Martial Artist was a bit stunned: “Are you threatening me?”

He found it amusing.

The masked person was already a cornered beast, still thinking of threatening him?

“If I may say so directly, first make sure you survive, then talk…”

Before he finished speaking, his eyes bulged!

Both feet began to levitate slowly off the ground!

And Julius Reed, who was seven meters away, when did he appear right in front of the Martial Artist!

Grasping his neck with one hand!

“Did you remember what I said?”

Julius Reed asked icily.

But the Martial Artist couldn’t respond at all!

“Let go!” Flynn Cook’s face drastically changed!

The opponent’s lightning-fast strike had been completely unexpected!

And all these Martial Artists had been assembled by himself; any deaths would be on Flynn Cook’s head.

“I’ll repeat myself.” Julius Reed turned his head, looking at Flynn Cook and those greedy Martial Artists: “You definitely must give me face.”

Pfft!

Having said that, the Martial Artist was literally crushed to death, turning into a mist of blood!

Ambrose Young’s heart surged with excitement!

Passionate!

Dominant!

Wasn’t this exactly what he aspired to be?

Now he understood just how right his mother’s decision was!

To hell with Merrill Caldwell, even if she became his stepmother, what of it?

In the end, he was still the one who benefitted, right?

“You’re seeking death!”

Flynn Cook’s fingers trembled slightly: “Everyone attack together, kill him, and the Cook Family will reward 5000 Swimming City Currency!”

“Is my head worth only 5000?” Julius Reed showed no fear.

He took a handkerchief out of his pocket, wiped the blood on his hands, and said indifferently, “If you want the medicine, I can give it. But I have only one left, you discuss among yourselves, who should get it?”

“There’s still one left?”

Upon hearing this, the martial artists all had their own thoughts.

“Mr. Cook, we’ll help you kill a man, but this medicine should be for me!” Head of Bright Mountain, Octavius Nightingale, sneered, “We’re risking our lives here, your Cook Family is wealthy and influential, don’t be petty with us!”

“No way! Octavius Nightingale, everyone came together, why should you monopolize it?” someone dissatisfied said.

“Exactly! Either we divide it among everyone, or no one gets it!”

Everyone was unsatisfied.

“Nonsense! Once the medicinal pill is split open, the spiritual power inside will dissipate. How can you divide such a thing! So you tell me, who gets it!” Octavius Nightingale grumbled unhappily.

“How about this! The medicine is mine, and as for you, you may choose any book or treasure from the Cook Family! After all, I am the host, I should arrange something fair and reasonable for everyone.” Flynn Cook’s eyes darted around, wanting to monopolize this fortune himself.

“Everyone, stop the infighting, this must be that young man’s conspiracy! He wants us to break apart, so he can seize the chance to escape!” a martial artist pointed at Julius Reed and shouted angrily, “Such malice deserves death!”

“Right! Let’s not fight amongst ourselves! Kill him first, then see what he has on him!” Octavius Nightingale slapped his own forehead, feeling played.

“Attack!”

The crowd looked at each other and then attacked!

“Father, be careful!”

Ambrose Young roared at his bodyguards: “What are you looking at, attack!”

“No need!” Julius Reed extended one hand, halting those bodyguards: “I really envy you all.”

He looked towards Ambrose Young and the group of bodyguards: “To witness me in action with your own eyes.”

That being said!

Julius Reed drew his sword!

Whoosh!

A strike, and flames spread through the entire city!

Those grandmasters in the front didn’t even have time to react before being engulfed in the nether flames!

The Evil Qi inside the Dragon King Ring grew stronger!

Having replenished a good amount during the previous slaughter, today was yet another day full of gains!

As the Grandmasters turned to ash, strands of black Evil Qi were absorbed into the Dragon King Ring.

“What’s going on!”

Flynn Cook was in shock!

Several grandmasters wiped out by a single sword strike?

“It’s extremely sinister, everyone be careful!”

Octavius Nightingale felt fear as well.

It was too horrifying!

Prestigious grandmasters, beings who could dominate any place in the mortal realm!

Now they were being killed instantaneously?

“Kill!” Ambrose Young shouted excitedly!

The blood in his body was finally ignited!

“I will make another strike,” Julius Reed lifted his head, the black veil on his face fluttered without wind: “Let everyone understand what the true path is!”

“Attack together!”

Flynn Cook steeled his heart and charged like a madman!

Whir!

Nether flames arose from the ground, instantly trapping the grandmasters.

Up to now, no one had gotten close to Julius Reed.

Soon, amid wails of agony, only Flynn Cook and Octavius Nightingale remained out of those who ambushed.

“Gentlemen, may I ask when did I steal your medicine formula?” Julius Reed sheathed the Sword of Hell, trying his best to restrain his own desire to kill.

To intimidate his powerful enemies, he once again pushed his body to the limit of tolerating Evil Qi!

His mind, somewhat disturbed.

“I am from the Cook Family, one of the four major families, how dare you kill me?” Flynn Cook’s hand holding the sword, was trembling slightly.

Upon hearing this.

Julius Reed turned around.

“Heh, you know what’s good for you…”

But before he could finish his sentence—

The Longsword slipped out of Flynn Cook’s hand and slashed across his neck!

A weapon slaying its own master!

“Senior! I failed to recognize Mount Tai, please spare me! I am willing to take you to the Azure Emperor’s ancient tomb!” Octavius Nightingale fell to his knees with a thud, his body shaking like a sieve.
