Chapter 560: Chapter 240 Dragon Blood Curse_2

"Forget it, I’m bored anyway; might as well make some progress."

"What progress?"

"The progress of knocking you down."

"..."

Veronica’s little face fell. Without thinking too much, she rewarded Wayne with a punch to the face.

————

During afternoon tea, Veronica received an invitation from next-door Dusa to make some snacks together at the number eight villa.

In the living room, where the sunlight was warm, a burly boy and a melancholic youth sat opposite each other, each with a serving of snacks in front of them when it was served.

Alex did not share his sister’s snacks, and neither did Wayne.

The former was well aware of his sister’s culinary skills and was content to suffer alone—no need to hurt more people; the latter was purely selfish, refusing to share the snacks with outsiders even if Veronica’s skills were mediocre.

Both plates were licked clean, and both sisters were very satisfied.

Alex took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, making people wonder if his chronic melancholy was due to eating too many of his sister’s snacks.

Dusa kicked Alex’ foot, who slowly opened his mouth, "Wayne, as allies, do you think it’s necessary for us to familiarize ourselves with each other’s strengths?"

It was necessary.

Alex, indifferent by nature, gentle and elegant, the quintessence of a low-desire individual, Wayne could guess even with his toes that the suggestion to spar came from Dusa.

If the ally wanted to flex his muscles, Wayne was also inclined, nodding readily in agreement.

The four of them left the villa, Alex used Faith Magic to clear the surrounding vegetation and prepared a squared-off arena.

The two sisters didn’t step up to compete; they were there to cheer from the sidelines in this bodyguard wrestling match.

Dusa: "My brother is very powerful."

Veronica: "My brother is even more powerful!"

Dusa: "My brother could beat a hundred of brothers like yours."

Veronica: "Mine could beat a thousand."

The conversation was a bit childish, but it fit their ’innocent’ personas, and being ladies, they avoided any savage remarks like ’my brother dares to eat shit.’

As the proposer of the spar, Alex briefly explained the rules: spar to the touch, don’t injure the friendship, but to arouse the competitive spirit, there needed to be a stake.

The loser would provide the winner with a piece of information about the Holy Maiden selection.

Wayne saw the number eight villa’s postman, and Dusa saw the number four villa’s postman; they both had connections higher up, so it was worth using the sparring chance to reveal some intel to each other.

It was all up to skill, and whoever wanted more information had to speak through strength.

Veronica gave Wayne a look that said, for the sake of a century-long friendship, he must win, and keep winning.

The Dragon Blood Girl’s desire to win was too strong.

Wayne shrugged his shoulders, warming up on the spot: "No Faith Magic and no weapons, Alex, is that really fair? It doesn’t seem very equitable to me."

Indeed, it wasn’t very fair.

Alex sheepishly smiled, acknowledging his sister’s demand was too overbearing, and said with a thick face, "Alright, you get to set the rules for tomorrow’s spar."

Being too honest for his own good, Wayne couldn’t help wanting to pick on him severely, and said with a smile, "Since you’re so confident, I’ll make the first move, alright?"

"No..."

Boom!

A shadow flickered before Alex’s eyes, and he quickly crossed his hands in front of his chest to defend, but a fist hit him square in the face. He was sent flying backward, straight out of the ring, disappearing into the trees behind.

So fast!

And so strong!

Is this guy really human?

Dusa was slightly taken aback, and she began to speculate about the bloodline surrounding Wayne. According to the Frank District’s investigations, she gathered considerable information about Veronica, but for Wayne, there was almost nothing.

It was easy to investigate Veronica; before Hefei became the Windsor District High Priest, she was the head of the Frank District’s Scalpel Organization, and Dragon Blood made her fearsomely powerful.

The Frank District had Hefei’s records, and by following the trail, you could almost figure out everything about Veronica.

But information on Wayne...

Naturalism Church Pastor, part-time detective, actor, the male lead of the King Kong film, and the suspected boyfriend of Frank’s popular singer Lily.

When Dusa got this information, she was flabbergasted. What a hot mess, who cares about Wayne’s rumored girlfriend—what she wanted was Wayne’s identity in the Magic Realm.

Moreover, no wonder he spoke Frankese so well. It had to do with a big star.

If you can’t find it, then you simply can’t find it. Wayne was too low-key in the Magic Realm.

Identities like Death Knight, Angel, and others were things Frank would never uncover. Apart from these identities, Wayne was not a mage from the system—he took up magic halfway and had only just come into contact with it last year.

A year’s experience, not even counting as a two-and-a-half-year trainee, plus Austin and Hefei being good at hiding, made the task of investigating his traces in the Magic Realm incredibly difficult.

If you couldn’t investigate effectively, then you had to assess it in the field.

Dusa was very curious. With Veronica possessing Dragon Blood, just how strong could the person fit to be her bodyguard be?

He was indeed very strong!

Alex staggered out of the woods, barely standing up when he was punched and sent flying again.

Not only was he strong, but he was also ruthless.

Alex was pinned to the ground and roughed up, possessing impressive martial prowess and mastery of dozens of combat techniques. However, under the overpowering Essence of Life, he could not find the opportunity to use his skills.

Even when he used Magic Power to enhance his physical qualities, he was still easily overpowered.

"Veronica, does your brother... also have Dragon Blood?"

Dusa gaped, seeing Alex utterly powerless to fight back, leaving her no choice but to make such a guess.

"Yes, he has Dragon Blood." Veronica nodded solemnly, readily admitting it.

Really or not, how readily she agreed, she must be lying.
