These days, the atmosphere between Benjamin and Sophia Scott is a bit strange.
Sophia felt guilty about Benjamin, but Benjamin deliberately alienated her.
Of course, it was not because Benjamin was afraid of Gabriel Quinlan, and did not dare to get close to her, but because he felt that Sophia was hiding too deeply and being too scheming.
It was puzzling that the Tromaville City’s Scott Family member was working as a small doctor here.
Although Benjamin had now gained Inner Energy state and could make all the difference in the Eastern Sea City, facing these top families from Tromaville City, he did not want to get into troubles with them.
Sophia Scott thought that it was what happened at the Eastern Sea Grand Hotel that day that caused a gap between her and Benjamin, and that was why they became like this.
She couldn't help but feel sad. The eldest daughter of an aristocratic family, despite her glamorous appearance, didn't even have a single friend. What a pity!
…
Benjamin got off the bus and walked all the way back to Gullible Bay Villas.
At this time, the sky had darkened.
He was thinking that it was time to buy a car. It was not convenient to always take the bus and then walk.
At this time, suddenly a Land Rover flew past him at an extremely fast speed, and then made a beautiful drift and rushed towards Benjamin.
Benjamin reacted very quickly as he dodged. He then roared at the Land Rover, "Damn it, how can you drive?"
The Land Rover stopped, and then a strong man got out of the car, with a cold smile on his lips, coming to Benjamin.
The strong man was none other than Joseph.
"Are you Benjamin?" Joseph asked contemptuously.
Benjamin frowned. He could feel the strong aura on the other side. This person was a master of martial arts.
"Yes, what do you want from me?" Benjamin looked at Joseph warily.
Joseph clenched his fists, making crackling sounds like bones, and sneered, "I'm here to take your life! Someone is offering you a big price for your life!"
"Oh?" Benjamin asked curiously, "Who wants to buy my life?"
"Hehe,"Joseph said with a smile, "You don't have to worry about this. Tell me, should you commit suicide or should I do you a favour?"
Benjamin stared at Joseph tightly and said solemnly, "I, Benjamin, have never had the habit of committing suicide. Besides, you can't kill me!"
"Furious!"
Joseph was furious, "Boy, I know you have some abilities. Even Henry Collins is no match for you, but I am not a waste like him."
Benjamin was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the other party actually knew about Henry Collins.
He took a breath of air. He thought that the thing in the western suburbs warehouse was done extremely secretly, but he didn't expect that someone would still find it.
While the two were talking, several vans had crossed the road, completely blocking Benjamin's front, rear, left and right.
A group of strong men got out of the car and were surrounded by Benjamin.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense!"
Joseph sneered and said, "Boy, even if you grow three heads and six arms today, you still won't be able to escape death. Come on!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the two strong men waved the machetes in their hands and walked straight towards Benjamin.
These people either wanted to teach Benjamin a lesson or wanted to kill Benjamin.
Benjamin's eyes were fixed on the two strong men. Seeing them coming to him, he punched out both fists. With a "crack" sound, the chests of the two strong men broke directly. Then, the two men flew up while spitting blood from their mouths and noses, and hit the roadside heavily.
"Huh?" Joseph couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't expect Benjamin to have such skill.
But he was relieved immediately. If this kid was an ordinary person, how could Jacob Foster pay a high price of 20 million?
"This guy has some skills. Be careful!"
Joseph said coldly, "Let's all come together and kill this kid! His corpse will turn into minced meat and throw it into the Huangpu River to feed the fish!!!"
Following Joseph's order, a dozen strong men waved the weapons in their hands and headed straight for Benjamin.
Benjamin moved around among the crowd, taking action from time to time. Every time he took action, a strong man flew up.
A moment later, everyone saw Benjamin's brutality. More than a dozen strong men all fell to the ground, with their hands and feet broken, or their ribs broken as well. What's worse, some were killed on the spot.
Joseph saw his men being beaten like this, and anger surged in his chest.
"Good, very good! Boy, you are seeking death as you actually killed so many of my men!"
Not to mention how angry Joseph was, the medical expenses for so many injured men and the settlement expenses for the deceased would be a lot. Even if he got 20 million, not much would fall into his pocket.
He was furious and shouted loudly, "Let me try your skills!"
Joseph picked up a machete from the ground and slashed through Benjamin with all his might, heading straight towards Benjamin's skull.
Compared to those strong men just now, Joseph was very powerful.
Benjamin hurriedly dodged, but Joseph followed closely, opening and closing his machete.
After all, Benjamin had too little actual combat experience. Joseph caught an opportunity and showed a cruel smile. He then waved the machete in his hand and headed straight for Benjamin's shoulder.
He thought that this knife could at least cut off Benjamin's arm, but he didn't expect there’s a "clang" sound. He only felt that the machete was like cutting steel, which made his jaw hurt and he took several steps back.
"What… What's going on? Is there an iron plate on your body?" Joseph frowned and looked at Benjamin.
Benjamin snorted coldly. He had already cultivated the Yama Golden Body and was invulnerable. How could he be hurt by a small machete?
Joseph looked at his bleeding tiger's mouth. There was already a gap in the machete in his hand. He knew that Benjamin was a tough opponent.
He regretted taking this order from Jacob Foster, but since he had promised the other party, he must do it. Otherwise, how could he have the dignity to continue to hang out in the Eastern Sea City in the future?
Joseph immediately became serious. He picked up another machete from the ground, shouted loudly, and charged towards Benjamin again.
He rushed over and slashed Benjamin left and right with a fierce momentum.
Benjamin responded calmly, relying on his extraordinary eyesight and quick reflexes to avoid Joseph's attacks.
Benjamin also knew that he had too little actual combat experience, yet, today was a rare opportunity to learn!
The two fought for more than ten minutes, and Joseph was panting and out of breath.
Benjamin, on the other hand, didn't even take a breath.
Seeing that, Joseph couldn't help but feel a little dazed. What on earth is going on?
He was a Outer Energy state Master, and he had been wandering on the edge of life and death for so many years, but facing Benjamin, he felt like a tiger eating the sky, unable to make a move.
Benjamin looked at Joseph and sneered, "It seems that you have reached your limit, and I have learned enough. Your death has come!"
