"Old man doesn't want trouble, but you guys shouldn't push too far either!"
Jack's shoulder quivered, bones chiming like a fully-drawn bowstring, throwing off the strong man's oppressive hand.
"Bones chiming?"
The strong man stepped back, a trace of blood at the corners of his mouth, "This old man... actually a high-level expert of Black Martial Realm!"
Ancient books record.
This world had given birth to divine spirits, hence the name True Spirits.
Spiritspell Continent is vast and boundless, all humans are descendants of the divine spirits, possessing the divine bloodline...
Countless gifted individuals have pursued the secret of the Divine Bloodline, embarked on the path of cultivation, and gradually gained the ability to withstand natural disasters and man-made calamities.
Entering martial arts cultivation is a journey of ancestry, at the end of which gods await.
Like the Four Realms of Bitter Sea, each realm is divided into nine levels.
The 1st Realm, Yellow Martial, signifies the growth of blood.
Blood can strength.
When blood surges like rivers, you can break stone monuments and split rocks.
Stepping into the Bitter Sea 2nd Realm, Black Martial, the blood nurtures the muscles and bones, greatly enhancing one's strength, capable of tearing apart tigers and leopards.
The crippled older man in front of them had reached this level.
"No wonder he's so bold.”
The young man in purple squinted his eyes, emitting a chill.
Black Martial Realm, in a town with a population of millions, such as Greene Town, is indeed considered a high-level expert, capable of protecting a clan.
But.
So what?
The old man's humble yet firm attitude stirred a great discomfort in him.
No one in Greene Town has dared to talk to him like this before.
“Let's go together, capture this old man!”
The strong man understood his noble son's personality and commanded.
Twenty men appeared from behind the young man in purple, all attacking the old man together.
All of them were Yellow Martial Realm Cultivators. Everyone was full of vigor, and the sound of their blood surging filled the air.
"That's going too far!”
“How can they bully an elder like this!"
Some diners were filled with righteous indignation and wanted to stand up to help, but were stopped by the owner of the restaurant.
He understood the identity of the young man in purple.
Rushing up like this would only harm Mr. Jack.
“Young Master Noah Quinn!"
The restaurant owner greeted the young man in purple, trying to reason, "Mr. Jack is a war veteran, he has protected us!"
"Heh heh, only the lowborn would go to the battlefield."
"They are naturally born low and should protect us nobles."
Noah took a glance at these people, full of disdain, "I am the young master of the Quinn family, dare you defy me?”
The Quinn family!
All diners felt as if splashed with cold water.
In Greene Town, located amongst the thousand counties of The Red Dragon Martial Dynasty, it is a medium-sized city with complicated forces.
Among them, four major martial arts clans were the most revered.
The Quinn family has a history of a hundred years.
The family head, Ethan Quinn, has attained Level 6 of Earth Martial Realm, with two other Level 4 of Earth Martial Realm experts stationed in the town, deeply rooted in Greene Town.
The Third Realm of Bitter Sea, Earth Martial.
At this stage, they possess copper bones and iron arms. The blood nourishes the flesh, seemingly immune to knife and ax, can be termed a worthy adversary of a thousand, and the Quinn family has three such experts.
A year ago.
The Quinn family had taken over the city lord's mansion, rising to the top of the noble families in power, creating a controlling influence that extended to the surrounding cities.
Offending the Quinn family.
It not only proposes difficulty in Greene Town but also in the entire Sungarde County.
But.
The fear inside diner's hearts quickly gave way to anger.
Jack was already old, with a missing right leg and outnumbered, he was forced into a corner. His hair was disheveled, and he could only do his best to protect Chloe.
"Ah!”
The diners were boiling with rage, their eyes red.
A depreciated hero, it couldn’t be any worse than this.
Unable to die with his body wrapped in iron armor, in the end, he still ended up being persecuted by the people he once protected.
"Heroes don't always return from battles."
"His survival shows that he feared death. The word hero seems to be beyond his means."
The strong man smirked, advancing on Jack’s side.
"All of you bullies, stop picking on grandpa!"
Chloe broke free from her grandpa, blocking the strong man with her young body.
"Chloe!"
Jack was terrified.
Watching the strong man's fist hurtling towards Chloe, everything before his eyes turned black and he almost fainted.
"Damn it, what if there's the Quinn family!"
"I'm going to fight them!"
Finally, the crowd couldn’t restrain themselves, and all rushed up.
They also had children.
Young blossoms of energy, how can they wither like this.
Hiss!
Just at this moment, a squeaking sound came.
The fist of the strong man did not fall yet but his body flew several meters horizontally and hit the wall, bursting into a cloud of blood.
"What?"
Everyone looked over in amazement.
The strong man was already dead.
A wine glass was embedded in his skull.
The wine glass was intact, yet it took away the life of the strong man.
"What a terrifying method!"
"Who is it?"
The Quinn family Cultivators who were attacking the old man retreated in horror. Their eyes fell on Liam.
"So many warriors sacrificed their lives to bring peace to The Red Dragon."
Liam sat calmly, his lips closed, "The noble spirits left behind on The Red Dragon frontier and this elderly man, they have been protecting people like you."
There is too much injustice in this world.
The actions of the Quinn family's young master make him deeply uncomfortable.
After six years, the Quinn family in Greene Town have become more and more unbridled.
Never mind Mr. Jack being a hero.
Even an ordinary old man should not be treated like this.
As his words ended.
Liam got up and walked towards the desolate old man and child.
"Brother, thank you!"
Chloe looked at Liam, tears streaming from her eyes. She understood very well that Liam defending them would lead to significant trouble.
"Damn it!"
"Another suicidal idiot, break him!"
Noah roared.
As the young master of the Quinn family, his prestige was unrivaled. He would not tolerate others challenging him repeatedly.
Over twenty Quinn family Cultivators hesitated a little, and then charged towards Liam.
"Kid, this old man of mine, has already lived up to expectations, you should leave quickly, don’t get roped into this!"
Tears welled up in Jack's muddy eyes.
Bully him, he can endure it.
But questioning his contribution and disrespecting his love for his country, that’s a no-go!
Unfortunately, due to his dwindling vitality, he couldn’t even deal with these Yellow Martial Realm Cultivators.
"Old man, our wine... isn't finished yet."
Liam smiled lightly, without shifting his gaze.
Whoosh!
The fierce wind stirred up.
That was an older man with white hair at his temples, who moved like a ghost, like Liam's shadow, shot out at that moment.
North King of The Red Dragon, high and mighty.
These jumping jacks are unworthy of dying at his hands, so he'll do it instead.
His name is 'James'.
He was a brave general under North King.
Bang, bang, bang resonated.
The Quinn family Cultivators charging towards Liam were like leaves in a storm.
When the wind stopped.
A pungent smell of blood permeated the air.
Dozens of corpses were lying in the restaurant.
Deadly silence filled the space, needles could be heard dropping, and all the diners had their mouths agape.
What was this young man’s background?
The follower by his side was so formidable.
Nobody saw how James had acted. Dozens of Yellow Martial Realm Cultivators were instantly killed.
Even an Earth Martial Realm Expert wouldn’t be so formidable, right!
"Young man, who exactly are you?”
Jack asked in shock.
"In front of you, I am just a junior."
Liam helped Jack up, holding Chloe, and returned to sit at the table, pouring wine for the old man.
A scream resonated.
Like holding a chick, James tossed Noah in front of Liam and then flipped him over with a foot.
"Young master, the Quinn family is too powerful, we can’t provoke them."
The restaurant owner stepped forward, begging Liam not to stir up trouble.
One of Noah's young servants had already escaped in the chaos, apparently to seek help.
As the leading noble family in Greene Town, the Quinn family placed great importance on face and they would never let this matter rest.
And Noah was sinister and cruel.
After being humiliated at the restaurant today, both he and these diners will surely suffer.
Liam calmly stated, "Since the Quinn family is in charge of the city lord's mansion, they should abide by The Red Dragon's laws, protect the citizens of this city, and not bully the weak."
Upon hearing this, the restaurant owner gave a wry smile.
In the eyes of those noble families, human lives are nothing more than weeds.
After taking control of the city lord's mansion, the Quinn family has been suppressing dissenting voices with iron fists and the people of Greene Town have been suffering.
The random list of the Quinn family's horrific deeds recounted by the owner of the restaurant made Liam's eyebrow furrow.
"Absolutely!"
"I've tortured juniors, destroyed a whole family."
"In Greene Town, if I want someone dead, they cannot live. Such is the power of the Quinn family!"
Noah struggled to lift his head, breaking into a crazed laughter, "You mutt, do you dare to touch me?"
"Dead."
James's eyes were cold, preparing to use force.
In the North, the North King is the belief.
A spoiled brat, who dares to curse the North King.
If the North King Army hears it, Greene Town will collapse.
"Is the Quinn family, very strong?"
Liam stopped James and glanced at Noah.
"But of course!"
"You look young, your parents are probably still alive, aren't they?"
Noah believed Liam was afraid, grew even more reckless: "You pathetic creature, wait till the Quinn family's experts arrive, and see how this young master tortures you!"
"Huh."
The corner of James's mouth twitched, as if looking at a dead man.
When the North King gets angry, blood must be shed.
This Noah, with so many words, deliberately mentioning the power of the Quinn family.
It's like pushing the Quinn family into the fire!
Instead of settling the king's wrath by killing one person, now, it may create more trouble.
Because Noah, he also threatens close relatives of the North King!
"I'm sorry, but the people of the Quinn family are afraid they won't make it here."
Liam's eyes were deep, gesturing to James: "I give you four hours. In this Greene Town and this Sungarde County, I don't want to hear the word 'Quinn family' again."
This short sentence made everyone in the restaurant dizzy.
Listening to Liam's meaning, is he planning to uproot the Quinn family?
In the whole Sungarde County, they belong to the upper class and are like a towering tree.
Their roots are in Greene Town, and they have been conducting businesses in the surrounding cities.
Many people want to challenge them but never succeed.
This young man, what's his identity, to take the liberty to say that he'll eliminate such a colossal entity within four hours?
"Understood!"
James bowed his head in agreement, and his figure disappeared from the restaurant.
