Chapter 8: Challenge
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Booker family’s clan leader, Carlos, was a famous expert in Green Valley Town. When he was young, he had a great reputation that ordinary people could not match.
Although he was getting older, no one dared to undermine such an expert.
No matter where they were, the strong had absolute authority.
“He crippled my son, Aidon. As the clan leader, are you going to protect him?” Bryson gritted his teeth and said.
Why did he have to come out at this time?
He was so close to killing this little bastard.
Looking at the Booker family clan leader, who had a stronger aura, Great Elder Bryson was extremely reluctant to give in.
The others also looked over, so did the elders.
Aidon had been crippled and Jaidon’s cultivation level had significantly dropped, so the Booker family’s power would definitely be reallocated. They wanted to take the opportunity to probe the clan leader’s thoughts.
The other disciples did not think too deeply about it, but what made them happy was that perhaps they had a chance to become Masters themselves.
After all, everyone here was a core disciple of the Booker family. It was impossible for them to not have any desire towards the position of the clan leader.
“Old dog, what do you mean I crippled your son? You and your son are working together to kill me. Am I not supposed to resist?”
“Do you think I’m an idiot? Do you think I’ll wash my neck and wait for you to kill me?”
Jaidon sneered coldly. If Aidon couldn’t do it, then he would play the blame game. If he couldn’t afford to lose, why did he have to do it in the first place?
Hearing Jaidon’s vicious words, Bryson tried his best to control his twitching eyes. He was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and would jump over to slap Jaidon to death.
“Clan leader, not only did Jaidon cripple Aidon, he even injured Aaron and publicly insulted the Great Elder.”
As the eldest of the Five Great Generals, Ryan stood up and began to accuse Jaidon of the crimes he had committed. He was practically turning lies into facts.
Many others agreed with Ryan. No one wanted Jaidon to rise again.
Jaidon watched this scene with cold eyes. Those harsh and unkind faces were etched in his mind. These were the so-called elites of the Booker family. Very well.
“Clan leader, I suggest that we remove Jaidon from the family clan records and ban him from entering Green Valley Town forever.”
“Agreed. He is a scourge. I heard that he even formed a grudge with the Prince. The Booker family is really unlucky to have such a troublemaker.”
“That’s right, clan leader!”
In a large clan, the competition for benefits was far more important than bloodline.
The bigger the clan, the more tigers and leopards there were.
In their eyes, if Jaidon was crippled, then so be it. At most, he would be trampled by everyone. However, it was impossible to let him rise up again.
Once Jaidon rose to power, he would steal their limelight. This was something that none of them wanted to see.
“Are you done?”
Carlos glanced over indifferently. Those who were being watched felt their hair stand on end. Carlos was undoubtedly the strongest person in the Booker family and had the greatest right to speak!
Even if the elders wanted to resist Carlos, they still needed to consider their own level of capability.
After Carlos started speaking, the entire place became silent.
“Jaidon is a member of the Booker family. Don’t ever mention this again!”
As soon as Carlos finished speaking, Great Elder Bryson immediately said furiously, “Then my son Aidon, did he become crippled for nothing?”
“He is next in line to be the Booker family’s clan leader. How can the Booker family’s dignity remain after he was harmed by such a despicable person? I will not rest until Jaidon is removed from the family clan records!”
Since he couldn’t win in a fight, Bryson immediately acted shamelessly. If he wasn’t given the outcome he wanted, he wouldn’t let go of this matter.
Carlos frowned slightly. To be honest, before he went into seclusion, he had only discussed with the elders about Aidon temporarily being next in line for becoming the clan leader. He never said that he was the next clan leader.
He didn’t have a good impression of Aidon. He was decently strong, but he lacked brains. It wasn’t realistic to let him manage such a huge family like the Bookers.
He thought highly of Jaidon, but unfortunately, he was crippled…
“Let’s put the punishment aside for now and wait for the matter to be investigated.”
“But!”
Bryson was unwilling to accept this. This obviously meant siding with Jaidon, but he had no choice.
Just as he was about to kill Jaidon, he remembered that he was facing the clan leader, so Bryson immediately cowered.
The Five Great Generals wanted to launch a reckless attack, but Carlos stopped them with a look.
The authority of the clan leader was absolute in the entire Booker family.
Just as the clan leader was about to leave with Jaidon, Great Elder Bryson’s expression wavered. He seemed to have thought of something as a gloomy look flashed across his eyes.
“Clan leader, I know that you are biased towards Jaidon. I can let him off for attacking my son, but he must agree to one condition!”
“That is to challenge the five brothers in the ring!”
“Regardless of the outcome, I will not pursue this matter!”
After Bryson finished speaking, a large group of people secretly cursed this old fellow for being extremely shameless. One had to know that the combined strength of the Five Great Generals was comparable to a Battle General. Even Bryson could not withstand them. Jaidon, a mere Level-three Battle Apprentice, was obviously no match for them.
The Five Great Generals belonged to the Great Elder’s faction, not to mention that Jaidon had injured Aaron not long ago. The five of them were also clamoring to pressurize Jaidon.
Jaidon didn’t even need to think before rejecting such an idiotic request.
However, at that moment, a voice condensed from Essence Energy drifted into Jaidon’s ears. “If you don’t agree to it, you will never hear about your parents.”
Jaidon looked at the half-smiling Bryson, his eyes surging with killing intent.
He dared to agitate him with his soft spot. Regardless of what status Bryson had, he was bound to die!
“Alright! I agree!”
“So what if there are five of them. Trash is trash. I’ve made them call me ‘daddy’ once, I can do it again!”
“Let’s set the date three days later!”
“Alright! Old dog, just wait for your face to be beaten to a pulp.”
Jaidon was truly enraged this time!
This old dog dared to threaten him with his parents’ whereabouts. He hoped that he wouldn’t regret it!
Hearing Jaidon agree to the challenge so decisively, Carlos frowned. Although he really wanted to know where Jaidon got his confidence from, this challenge was a gamble on the dignity of martial artists. Even though he was the clan leader, he could not interfere.
After Carlos and Jaidon left, the atmosphere in the courtyard instantly relaxed and discussions started.
The livid Bryson flicked his sleeves and left. The Five Great Generals’ faces were also flushed red. Being exposed in public like this made their hatred for Jaidon reach its peak.
…
After Jaidon returned to the residence, Carlos gave him a few instructions and left. He only told Jaidon to be careful after three days.
At the same time, he also gave a Blood Ginseng to Jaidon.
Blood Ginseng (Devourable)
Grade: Medium-Grade Level-one Spiritual Medicine
Special Feature: Calming, Nourishing…
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, he stared at the Blood Ginseng in his hand. For a moment, Jaidon was unable to understand why the clan leader would treat him so well even though he had become a good-for-nothing.
It was only when he recalled that his father had saved the clan leader’s life when he was young…
“It seems that father has saved me…” The corners of Jaidon’s mouth curled into a smile. However, when he thought of Bryson, that old fellow, he felt an urge to improve his abilities urgently.
“System! Devour the Blood Ginseng!”
