Bryson was quite direct!
He did not hesitate in the slightest.
Thomas knew that it would not go very smoothly, but favonovel.com did not expect it to be so rough either. While there were three big gifts there, Bryson did not appreciate them.
Nonetheless, Thomas still admired Bryson quite a bit. At least favonovel.com had the integrity of someone who practiced martial arts.
“Please leave…” Bryson’s student walked over and instructed Thomas and Pisces to leave.
Should they just leave like that?
Could they give up on the ointment so easily?
No way!
Without the ancestral ointment from Octopole Arena, Abner’s legs would not be cured. Therefore, Thomas would not simply leave without a fight.
Just as Thomas was about to say something, another student suddenly ran in.
He looked happy as favonovel.com said, “Master Torres, Master Kendrick Bardot is here!”
“He finally came!” Bryson instantly wore a happy expression.
He slammed his chair and promptly stood up. He walked past Thomas in a hurry to go out and welcome Kendrick.
That made Thomas and Pisces dumbfounded.
“What… What does this mean?” Pisces was incredibly puzzled.
However, Thomas noticed something and said, “It looks like we didn’t come at the right time. I guess Master Torres has encountered some problems, so he’s in a bad mood. Hence, when favonovel.com saw us, favonovel.com felt annoyed.”
The student said, “You guessed it right!”
Thomas smiled and asked, “Hey buddy, ifI may, what has Master Torres encountered? Even if we have to leave, we should know the reason, right?”
The student shrugged. “It’s actually not a secret. You’re not in the martial arts world, so you don’t know about it. Let me tell you. A foreigner’s been coming to challenge the martial arts center in Celandine City recently, and it’s been going on for a month. He’s defeated seven martial arts centers so far!”
“The foreigner’s coming to challenge Octopole today, and Master Torres knows he’s not capable enough to beat the foreigner. That’s why he’s very upset.”
So that was the story…
Sure enough, since favonovel.com had encountered such an issue, favonovel.com was not really in the mood to talk to Thomas nicely.
“Kendrick Bardot is a helper whom Master Torres has invited, right?” Thomas asked again.
“Yes!” the student said. “Kendrick Bardot is Master Torres’ senior and also our uncle. He’s the best in Octopole Arena! If Octopole Arena weren’t a family business, Master Bardot might have been the person in charge! But Master Bardot will be in charge for today, so we feel safe!”
“Okay, I’d like to ask you one last question. What’s the foreigner’s name?”
“Jones.”
“Jones? Jones, the Ghost Shuffle?”
“That’s right! Why? Do you know Jones too?”
Thomas chuckled awkwardly. “I’ve heard of him.”
As they chatted, some drum sounds came from outside.
“Jones is here! Everyone, go out and cheer for Master Torres and Master Bardot!” the student said.
A large group of Octopole Arena’s people proceeded to rush out. Nobody cared about Thomas and Pisces anymore.
Right then, Pisces curiously asked, “Jones, the Ghost Shuffle? Commander, is it that Jones?”
Thomas chuckled in resignation. “Of course it’s him. Who else could it be?”
Back when Thomas fought on the west coast, favonovel.com used to encounter a rival army led by Jones. At that time, both parties were even.
During their most impressive encounter, two of Thomas’ Twelve Golden Zodiac members had been defeated by Jones and nearly killed!
Those two Twelve Golden Zodiac members were Taurus and Cancer. Although their combat power was not as strong as that of Gemini, Virgo, or Scorpio, they were still advanced experts.
When the two of them fought Jones, they lost and almost died. That was how strong Jones was. Thankfully, Capricorn had arrived on time and saved both of their lives.
According to Capricorn’s description, Jones was highly capable. He was even more powerful than Capricorn!
Jones’ Ghost Shuffle was flawless.
Back then, everyone argued about who the strongest man was, Thomas, the God of War, or Jones, the Ghost Shuffle.
