With Ray leading them, the Grant guards began gaining the upper hand. The disciples of the Kirin Gang had no choice but to back up.Ray's abilities were exceptional. Even the divine-level martial artists of Shadow Gang were no match for him.He was like a tank, constantly pushing forward and utterly unstoppable."Yes! That's what I'm talking about! Get them, and get them good!" Vlad roared excitedly when he saw the disciples of Kirin Gang slowly getting defeated. It was fortunate for him that he had Ray with him today. He would have lost sorely otherwise."Who's that, Lou? He's amazing!" Sue could not help asking Lou in a whisper."He's Ray Reeds. He just got back from Oakvale. His powers are unbelievable. "I heard that he's an elite disciple of the Celestial Alliance!" Lou told her with a look of admiration on his face."Celestial Alliance? You mean the strongest guild in the whole of Oakvale?" Sue's eyes widened.There were three major powers in Dragonmarsh, namely the Cel
Ray Reeds looked like he was in his early 30s, but he was already a fully developed divine-level martial artist.It could be said that his innate ability was one of the best among the younger generation in Balerno and even Oakvale."You're not bad, old man."Ray moved his slightly numb arm. He smirked, "In the whole of Balerno, not many can still stand after taking a punch from me.""You're quite good yourself, kid. Too bad you're still too inexperienced."Cornelius shook his head and said, "If you leave now, you can save yourself some pain. If not, I won't be holding back."Ray laughed. "Old man, you really think you could defeat me?"He turned his head sideways, tightened his fists, and sneered, "That was just a warm-up. If I actually put in effort, I can defeat you any minute.""Hmph! Cocky!"Cornelius' face darkened. "You're punching above your weight. Let me teach you a real lesson today!"As he spoke, he jumped and shot out like an arrow. He shouted as his fist landed o
"Beat me to death?"Ray was stunned at first to hear that. He then started laughing as if he had heard the funniest joke.The onlookers looked on with ridicule in their eyes. They looked at him as if he was an idiot."Is that guy crazy? How dare he talk to Ray like that? Is he not afraid of dying?" Sue was shocked."Hmph! You fool. You challenged Ray openly. You must be courting death!" Lou smirked.Who was Ray Reeds? He was an elite Celestial Alliance fighter and Sir Reeds's favorite. For someone as good as him, it'd be easy for him to crush a newcomer."Ray could take on a hundred opponents alone and still keep the situation under control. Who could stop someone like him? "Dustin is such an idiot. Instead of running away, he's decided to court death!" Rosaline shook her head as she looked on with no emotion."Hmph! He's arrogant just because he knows some moves. If you asked me, I think he'd be better off dead!" Florence said smugly, crossing her arms. "That young man has
"Damn! Is that little boy toy that amazing? Even Ray Reeds lost to him?" Lou was shocked."Am I seeing things? Ray's from the Celestial Alliance? I can't believe he lost to a nobody." Sue was a little confused."What a loser! He looks strong, but I didn't know he's actually this weak." Florence frowned and appeared upset."Do you think Dustin used any tricks on him?" Rosaline and Victoria looked at each other with a suspicious gaze.Ray was invincible just a few moments ago. They assumed that Dustin would lose for sure. No one had expected this ending. Was Dustin really that good? Or was Ray just all show and no substance?"So, what's it going to be? Are you willing to admit defeat or not?" With one foot on Ray's shoulder, Dustin asked arrogantly."Who … Who are you really?" Ray gritted his teeth and struggled to get up. As he tried, he realized that Dustin's leg was as heavy as lead. He was pinned to the ground on his knees, no matter how much he struggled."You don't need
"Uh…" Ray's eyes widened in disbelief.He'd never thought that Dustin would actually kill him. If he had known it earlier, he wouldn't have been this arrogant. However, he regretted it too late. As life seeped out of him, his pupils dilated slowly, and his consciousness gradually faded.Dustin lifted his hand and threw Ray's corpse away like a rag doll. Ray's corpse fell to the floor after hitting the wall heavily and kicking up a large dust cloud.Everyone at the scene was dead silent.They were stunned, and their eyes widened in disbelief. Nobody thought that Dustin would actually dare to kill Ray after he had announced his identity.It was known that Ray was part of the Celestial Alliance and the nephew of Ronald Reeds! Where did this guy find the guts to do it?"Dead … Dead? That guy actually killed Ray Reeds?" Vlad was shocked and found it hard to believe.Vlad and Ray shared similar social status, and Ray could have had a better future than him. This nameless guy had t
Kirin Gang wasted no time and sprang right into action as they cleaned up the mess.Without Ray as their leader, the Grant family fighters were nothing against the Kirin Gang. They were all defeated quickly."Bastard! You're dead meat! You killed Ray Reeds, and now you attacked the Grant family! From now on, you're the public enemy of two families! "There will be no safe place for you in Balerno!" Vlad shrieked with a horrified look. He was obviously a little flustered."Hmm?" Dustin glanced over and looked at Vlad as he walked slowly to him. "I almost forgot about you. What did you say earlier?""Don't … don't come near me!" Vlad panicked when he saw Dustin approaching. He yelled out meekly, "Let me warn you, my brother is General Lionheart, Tyler Grant. I have the backing of the whole Grant family. If you touch me, death will be your only way out!""Is that so?" Dustin snorted coldly as he suddenly reached out and held Vlad's head before forcefully smashing it against the wa
Night had fallen at the Balerno martial arts alliance headquarters.A group of alliance leaders gathered around Ray's lifeless body. They gestured and murmured among themselves.When Ray's body was brought back an hour ago, it caused a great commotion in the alliance. Not only was he a disciple of the Celestial Alliance, but he was also Ronald's nephew.Ray was the brightest star in the alliance. He was known for his extraordinary talent and potential. Many believed that in a few years, he would succeed Ronald as the leader of the martial arts alliance.But Ray's sudden and mysterious death had shocked the entire alliance."Ray? Where is my son?"At that moment, a burly, disheveled middle-aged man rushed in. The crowd moved aside as he pushed through them. Those who were slow were knocked over by him. The man was Quincey Reeds, Ray's father.He rushed toward his son's lifeless body and lifted the white cloth that covered him. Shock filled him as he looked at his dead son."Ra
"That bastard took my son's life! He completely looked down on the martial arts alliance." Quincey's face darkened. Then, he said, "Inform Ronald at once. Tell him to avenge my son."The staff replied hesitantly, "Sir Reeds is in seclusion. He has given strict instructions not to be disturbed."Quincey became even more agitated. "Seclusion is not important right now. His nephew has been murdered. Is he just going to ignore that?""Um …" The staff was still hesitant to deliver the message."You wimp! I'll go to him myself!" Quincey shoved the staff aside and stormed out.As he reached the door, an alliance member rushed in. He accidentally collided with Quincey and fell to the ground."Idiot! Are you blind? Do you want me to hit you?" Quincey roared in frustration.The alliance member quickly lowered himself and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Reeds. I didn't see you.""Damn it! Watch where you're going next time!" Quincey was about to walk away when he noticed the alliance member was
