Chapter 519 Capital Headquarters, Narrow Road with Enemies
“Close call!” Sitting in one of the luxury cars, Sean watched the scenery outside rapidly recede, stirring up a considerable wave in his heart, murmuring to himself, “Truly the Lord of North Kingdom, Albert Sitwell’s astuteness and caution are truly extraordinary!”
Little did he know!
Sean had received news from Shirine Empire that someone had gone to the capital of Shirine Empire to investigate his whereabouts, and not just one group of people!
Donald Sitwell’s people dared not easily infiltrate the imperial city of Shirine Empire, only passing on messages through some clandestine channels, which was manageable. However, One Shot was different. Leveraging his half-step bright energy strength, he actually intruded into the imperial city of Shirine Empire at night, lurking for several hours, and only quietly left after seeing “Sean” in person from behind!
However!
What One Shot didn’t know was that when he discovered “Sean’s” whereabouts, his own whereabouts had also been exposed. Currently, Spring personally sat in the Shirine Empire imperial city, with members from the Hall of Swords and the White Army providing heavy protection. How could a mere half-step bright energy practitioner possibly sneak in and out unnoticed?
If Spring and the others took action, One Shot would have no chance of leaving the Shirine Empire imperial city alive!
However!
Spring and the others guessed the identity and intentions of the other party, sparing One Shot’s life. They turned the tables, allowing One Shot to see “Sean” in person, providing cover for Sean, who was far away in North Kingdom!
As for the “Sean” that One Shot saw in person, it was naturally not the real Sean himself, but rather a disguise by Lord Snow!
Previously!
In the national battle, Sean disguised himself as Lord Snow, bearing an uncanny resemblance. Conversely, disguising Lord Snow as Sean made it equally difficult to discern the truth. Lord Snow himself was truly a strong bright energy practitioner. One Shot dared not approach, only able to observe from a distance. Under the premise of not being familiar with Sean, how could he possibly see through Lord Snow’s disguise?
So!
That’s why One Shot reported back to Albert Sitwell, dispelling the doubts in Albert Sitwell’s mind!
Sean fabricated a mysterious organization called Gorillas, appearing consecutively under the identities of “Great Ape” and “Great Monkey,” and thoroughly concealed his true strength using drugs. However, even so, it still raised suspicions from Albert Sitwell, which was beyond his expectations!
The road ahead is tough!
In the future, one must be even more cautious!!!
“Mr. Great!”
Betty Jefferson sat beside Sean, while Kazimir was driving. Glancing through the rearview mirror at the surrounding situation, Kazimir said in a low voice, “It seems like we are being followed!”
Indeed!
Being followed!
And it was open, unashamed tailing!
In fact!
Since leaving the Plainwater Town branch, Sean had already noticed that a dozen cars had been accompanying them all the way, sometimes far, sometimes near. Some were ahead of them, while others were behind them. It seemed like more than one group of people!
However!
The purpose of those people was the same, to tail the convoy from Plainwater Town branch!
Or rather!
To tail the luxury car Sean was riding in!
They were not afraid of being discovered!
They were even afraid that others wouldn’t notice their presence!
“No matter!”
Sean shook his head and said casually, “If they want to follow, let them. Someone is providing us with a protective escort; we should be grateful to them!”
No choice!
Blame it on the fact that “Great Ape” is now too prominent, attracting attention and concern from various major forces. Sending people to keep an eye on him all the way was naturally not to harm “Great Ape,” but to prevent “Great Ape” from escaping!
“That’s true!”
Kazimir laughed, “Mr. Great’s name is now renowned in North Kingdom, widely known. There are quite a few families and forces who want to make your acquaintance. This trip to the capital is your time to shine!”
Speaking of which!
The reason Sean went to the Plainwater Town branch was initially due to Kazimir’s invitation. If Sean could rise to prominence like Romanov, that would be enough for Kazimir to boast about for a lifetime!
“A reputation is nothing to be proud of!”
Sean sighed inwardly. Soaring to the top? What a joke! If Kazimir knew the real purpose of his trip, he probably wouldn’t think so. For “Great Ape,” the trip to the capital was indeed an excellent opportunity, full of opportunities, but for Sean, it was quite the opposite-like a hellish underworld, full of risks and challenges, full of crises…
…
Speeding all the way!
It wasn’t until evening that the convoy from Plainwater Town branch entered the capital of North Kingdom. In sight lay a brilliant and bustling scene of lights, incomparable to the imperial city of Shirine Empire!
At a junction they passed, two of the vehicles following them suddenly turned their heads, changing direction. While the convoy headed east, they went west, ceasing their pursuit!
“That’s the Harris family’s car!” Betty Jefferson, sitting next to Sean, noticed this scene, her expression immediately tensing. “When I got engaged to Patric Harris, I visited the Harris family. Just over a kilometer to the west of that intersection is the Harris family estate!”
Mentioning the Harris family, Betty Jefferson was full of worry!
She had thoroughly offended the Harris family, the capital’s elite, with her actions at the Plainwater Town branch with Sean. The members of the Harris family probably loathed this “fickle” woman to the core. And now, she was back in the capital, on the territory of the Harris family. Wasn’t she walking into the lion’s den? How could the Harris family possibly let her off easily?
“Is that so?” Sean turned around and reassured her, “Don’t be afraid. I’ve said it before, anyone who dares to harm you, I will make them disappear from this world.”
“My words always count.”
Betty Jefferson was stunned. How could she dare to speak so arrogantly upon arriving in the capital of North Kingdom? She truly couldn’t understand where Sean got his confidence and assurance from!
However, Sean’s resolute gaze and comforting words made her heart tremble slightly, touching her deeply. Her anxious emotions also eased a lot, nodding as she said, “Mr. Great, thank you!”
The marriage with Patric Harris was never what Betty Jefferson wanted. She had resisted before, to no avail. With Sean’s appearance, the marriage was now off. Regardless of whether it was good or bad, in her heart, she felt gratitude towards Sean…
…
“Master!”
After the two cars from the Harris family returned to the Harris family mansion, the people inside hurriedly got out and went directly to find Graham Harris, reporting truthfully, “Great Ape has followed the Plainwater Town branch’s convoy into the city and is heading to Buddha Academy!”
“Betty Jefferson is also there!”
At this news, Graham Harris’s pupils contracted slightly, a hint of coldness flashing between his brows. He snorted, “Good! My son Bingham is in the academy at this time. If Great Ape dares to be disrespectful to him, with Bingham’s late-stage dark energy strength, he may not be able to kill him, but he can certainly give him a proper lesson in front of everyone, reclaiming some dignity for our Harris family!”
Patric Harris! He was a practitioner in the late stage of dark energy cultivation, one stage higher than “Great Ape.” Studying in the capital headquarters, once the two meet, there will be no way to avoid a confrontation. It would be a perfect opportunity for Patric Harris to vent his anger in front of everyone!
After all, sparring challenges between disciples were not against the rules of Buddha Academy…
…
At seven o’clock in the evening, when the Plainwater Town branch’s convoy arrived at Buddha Academy, the gates of the academy were brightly lit, as if it were daytime, bustling with people. Not to mention the disciples from the headquarters gathering here, the convoys from the other seventeen branches also arrived one after another. The Lords and instructors of the headquarters personally welcomed them, making it a lively and bustling scene!
“Big brother!”
As the convoy slowly came to a stop, Hastiff got off first, and Pastiff, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately greeted him with a smile. After chatting with Hastiff for a few moments, he couldn’t help but ask eagerly, “Where is the Great Ape who walked 99 meters out of the 100-meter bamboo forest?”
“Hehe!” Hastiff laughed and pointed to the luxury car that Sean was riding in. At that moment, the car door was pushed open, and Sean and Betty Jefferson emerged together!
“It’s him!”
Hastiff pointed at Sean. Although his voice was not loud, it was like a thunderbolt on flat ground, immediately attracting the attention of many people around. The reputation of “Great Ape” was indeed resounding, and there were just too many people who wanted to see him. Thus, when the Plainwater Town branch’s convoy arrived, many people’s gazes focused in their direction.
Almost instantly, as soon as Sean and Betty Jefferson got out of the car, they inexplicably became the center of attention. Whether it was curiosity, skepticism, or disdain, the gazes directed at them were like sharp arrows, landing squarely on the two of them!
Is this jerk really the Great Ape?
Is this woman really Betty Jefferson?
Not to mention, when Sean stood there, his handsome appearance and elegant demeanor truly gave off a sense of uniqueness, causing people’s eyes to light up!Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
However, amidst the complex gazes around them, there was one particular gaze that seemed to be like a venomous snake or fierce beast, filled with endless anger and murderous intent, directed at Sean and Betty Jefferson!
It was Patric Harris!
Standing among the group of disciples, when Patric Harris saw Sean and Betty Jefferson, he couldn’t help but clench his fists and grit his teeth, emitting a series of grating bone-cracking sounds. Even the vigorous dark energy within him seemed to be on the verge of bursting out, as if he could not contain it and was about to rush forward to kill Sean and BettyJefferson on the spot, to vent his deep-seated hatred!
“Mr. Harris, please don’t act rashly!” Someone nearby advised, “This Great Ape is not to be trifled with at the moment. His 99-meter achievement is outstanding. After this inter-academy martial arts competition, he will undoubtedly be invited to join the headquarters!”
“By then, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to deal with him!”
However, upon hearing those words, Patric Harris’s expression did not soften in the slightest. Obviously, with Sean and Betty Jefferson right in front of him, he couldn’t bear it and didn’t want to wait.
So, after hesitating for a moment, Patric Harris suddenly took a step forward, walking directly towards Sean and Betty Jefferson on the other side!
