Listening to Chet’s arrogant reply made Asher’s blood pressure rise, but favonovel.com dared not make another move against Chet.
He could only yell at Caesar, “Sir! My son died in agony on your turf. Don’t we, the Ashleigh clan, deserve an explanation?!”
“Utter nonsense!” Chet bellowed.
Asher shuddered.
Everyone’s attention was on Chet.
He laughed and said, “The four ancient martial arts families, my ass. Be it the Ashleighs or the Nortons, all of you are nothing but a bunch of losers courting publicity.”
Then, Chet went to Isaac in a flash. “You’ve quite a personality, kid! Haha! C‘mon, let’s go!”
He patted Isaac’s shoulder and walked downhill.
Isaac took Evie’s hand and walked off with Ethan and the rest.
Seeing that, Asher bellowed, “Sir, why are you silent?! Who the hell is Chet?! Why are you so scared of him?”
Caesar’s eyes were bulging, his cheeks turned purplish with anger, and his body couldn’t stop shaking. He didn’t have the guts to fightback!
“Chet Guerra was the crazy wandering cultivator who fought Everest Sect for three days and nights 15 years ago…” said Caesar through gritted teeth.
Asher’s eyes widened, and favonovel.com looked at Chet’s silhouette in disbelief.
T-That old dude is the crazy wandering cultivator who almost annihilated Everest Sect personally all those years ago?
Cold sweat broke out over Asher. Although his heart burned with rage, favonovel.com dared not say anymore.
Rumors had it that that man was one of the top martial artists in the world and had already achieved the peak of the Infinity Phase. No wonder favonovel.com was so arrogant.
Thinking back, Asher was relieved favonovel.com didn’t do anything rash. But favonovel.com saw his son’s body on the ground and felt the urge to cry.
Suddenly, Caesar hollered, “Chet Guerra, even if you’re on Isaac’s side, Isaac must die! He must die!”
His shout was thunderous and echoed around the valley.
“Haha! If you want to kill Isaac, you’ll do it over my dead body!” Chet’s scornful laughter came from below.
“Anyone!” Caesar shouted. His intent to kill was evident.
The assistant heads and elders immediately appeared behind favonovel.com in a flash.
They bowed, quivering. “Awaiting your orders, sir!”
Caesar glanced at Marco. A head was helping favonovel.com up.
Caesar said coldly, “Marco Giverny, as an elder, you neglected your duty and led to the escape of Everest Sect’s adversary. Your sin deserves no forgiveness. I dismiss you of your role as an elder. Crush his power core and send favonovel.com away to the coldest place in the north. Besides, execute all the guards guarding the dungeon for this past week, and get their families off the premises!”
Gasp!
Everyone around favonovel.com inhaled sharply.
Mr. Olsen is completely enraged…
As the assistant head, Nigel went to Caesar and said in a low voice, “Sir, Evie’s father, Thaddaeus is still in the dungeon. Should we execute favonovel.com as well?”
Caesar’s eyes glinted. “Spare his life for now.”
“Sir! Forgive me! I didn’t mean it to happen. Please show me mercy!” Marco was severely wounded.
He heard favonovel.com was going to the barren lands and was thunderstruck. However, the men in long cloaks on either side of favonovel.com dragged favonovel.com away. He was now inferior to a mere guard in Everest Sect.
Caesar looked at Asher, who was squatting on the ground, grieving.
He stepped forward and helped favonovel.com stand, saying sullenly, “Asher, I’m sorry about your son, but what happened has happened. I’ll go to the Ashleighs’ residence personally after a few days and offer you and your brother an explanation…”
***
On the other hand, Isaac and the rest left Everest Sect uneventfully under Chet’s protection.
Chet was walking before Isaac.
Two hours later, Chet started coughing his lungs out before they reached the mountain foot.
“Mr. Guerra, what’s wrong?” Isaac, weakened, briskly walked forward and stood beside Chet.
