"Holy smokes! This kid is only twenty-seven, and he’s already a Peak Great Master. Isn’t he more monstrous than the Sect Master?"
"Yeah, the Sect Master reached Great Grandmaster at thirty-three, Innate at forty-four. This guy is only twenty-seven and already a Peak Great Master!"
"This kid’s growth is too astonishing. If we don’t eliminate him, he’ll be an endless threat."
Shane Fox listened as everyone compared Carson Flores to the Sect Master and coldly said, "He took advantage of the Dragon-Tiger Pill, and his strength has improved very quickly, but breakthroughs aren’t so easy to come by. Otherwise, with so many Great Grandmasters in the world, there wouldn’t be so few Innate Grandmasters..."
Upon hearing this, everyone realized that the loyal dog was defending his master’s dignity.
"Indeed, that bottleneck is really tough to break through. I’ve been stuck here for so many years, feeling completely at a loss. I fear I might never get past it in this lifetime."
"Exactly, the Sect Master reached Innate at forty-four and is now in his fifties. Among the Innate Grandmasters, he’s known to be strong. Now that’s a true monster!"
"This kid, whether he’s a monster or not, it doesn’t matter because he’s going to be taken down by us today!"
"Yeah, this guy is really a hopeless romantic. Just for a girlfriend, he’s willing to risk his life. With his abilities, what kind of girlfriend can’t he find?"
Samantha Tate was tied up in the pavilion, listening to everyone’s discussion without making a sound.
You actually agreed to let my aunt come; now you’re all just waiting to die!
Samantha Tate knew about Leah Frost’s true strength; after all, she was present when Leah Frost returned injured from fighting an Innate Grandmaster of the Vasquez Family.
Soon, the figures of Carson Flores and Leah Frost appeared on the small path ahead, and everyone closed their mouths, waiting with different expressions in their eyes.
Carson Flores, looking at Shane Fox standing in front, and the group of people beside him, instantly had a clear picture in his mind.
Considering their positions, they must all be Great Grandmasters, with no Innate Grandmasters among them. It seems that as he had guessed, Shane Fox couldn’t handle him alone and had found a group of Great Grandmasters to help.
They couldn’t possibly expect Leah Frost, at thirty-four, to be an Innate Grandmaster!
Carson Flores stopped in his tracks and looked past Shane Fox, landing his gaze on Samantha Tate in the pavilion, "Samantha, are you alright?"
Samantha Tate responded, "I’m fine. Didn’t I tell you? If someone captures me to threaten you, just capture their people, and pay them back double!"
Carson Flores replied, "Gunner Tate and Shane Fox are both cold-hearted. Apart from themselves, they don’t care about anyone else, so I had to come. You just stay calm and wait for me to rescue you."
Samantha Tate hummed in acknowledgment, then raised her voice, "Your safety comes first. If you can’t save me, just run. As long as you live, they won’t dare to do anything to me."
Carson Flores’s eyes rested on Shane Fox, "I’m here. Is this the chance you’re giving me to save her?"
Shane Fox nodded, "It’s simple. You just need to get through here, and naturally, you’ll be able to save her."
Carson Flores asked, "Are all these people Great Grandmasters from the Five Dragon Sect?"
Shane Fox nodded affirmatively, "Yes, although we have more people, with your strength, you’re not without a chance. Don’t you think?"
Carson Flores said sternly, "A Peak Great Master stooping to such despicable acts—you truly are the disgrace of Great Grandmasters. I will shatter your bones one by one later!"
Shane Fox said coldly, "It’s all just a matter of tactics."
Carson Flores didn’t want to waste words with Shane Fox and charged straight towards them.
This was the strategy he and Leah Frost had agreed upon. Carson Flores would draw everyone’s attention while Leah Frost made a surprise move to rescue the hostage.
Leah Frost shouted, "You group of Great Grandmasters, bullying the few with your numbers, attacking a young man in his twenties. Shameless! I’m a member of the Frost Family, I dare you to hit me!"
Leah Frost, with the appearance of a shrewish and unreasonable woman, charged toward the front.
The female Great Grandmaster of the Five Dragon Sect sneered and moved to block Leah Frost, reaching out with a palm toward her and sneering, "You’d better just lie down obediently..."
Leah Frost struck out with a palm that didn’t seem particularly fast or powerful.
The female Great Grandmaster casually changed her move to counter Leah Frost’s strike.
As soon as their palms touched, the old woman’s face suddenly changed.
The old woman’s palm broke silently, and Leah Frost’s palm continued forward, landing heavily on her chest. Her chest caved in, and she was sent flying backward like a cannonball.
The female Great Grandmaster crashed to the ground with a thud, a mouthful of fresh blood spraying out. With her eyes wide open, she shouted in despair and shock, "Innate..."
Having only managed to utter two words, the old woman’s neck went limp, and she died.
Meanwhile, Leah Frost no longer hid her abilities. She suddenly turned into a blur, charging at the next person in her way, and threw a punch.
This punch was like a giant wave in the deep sea, like the weight of Mount Tai, unstoppable!
