2024-08-29 01:01:41Hearing this, Finley began to recall the story.
There was a long pause before Finley said slowly, "Forty years ago, when I first came to Umbrella City, Umbrella City was a city only surpassed by Skoerntown in Skoern at the time. However, now Umbrella City is one of the worst cities. Do you know why?"
"That's because there are two families that have lived in Umbrella City for hundreds of years, the Kennedy Family and the Claude Family.
"A hundred-year family is a family that has existed for more than a hundred years. The three great families in Umbrella City today are nothing compared to those two families."
"One night, for unknown reasons, the entire Claude Family tragically died. There was one person who survived because he was not at the Claude Family residence. Other than that, the entire Kennedy Family also disappeared."
"The surviving member of the Claude Family, relying on the family inheritance, remained a powerful figure in Umbrella City. H

Veronica's words reminded them of one incident.Bruno summoned more than ten accomplices to Veronica's house to fight against Bryce.However, all of these henchmen were defeated by Bryce single-handedly, proving that Bryce is really good at fighting."Is Bryce a Brawler?"However, before Bryce could speak, everyone present heard a dismissive voice, "Veronica, how could he be a champion? Champions are so rare."The voice came from one of Hank's students, Rudy.Rudy saw Bryce and Veronica sitting together. He realised that Bryce was Veronica's husband and was not happy to see him."However, Bryce fights great. I saw Bryce when he defeated ten men by himself. Doesn't that make Bryce worthy of being called a champion?"For some reason, hearing Rudy look down on Bryce, Veronica felt offended and wanted to say something back.Rudy chuckled, as if he had just heard a joke and s

"Super strong hero?" The Carter family was shocked.However, the Carter Family does not have a hero.Hank was also a little shocked. Hank asked, "What just happened?"Troy breathlessly led them to the fallen steel birch tree. Troy told them what had just happened.The faces of everyone there looked incredulous.Someone slapped the steel birch down?The steel birch is the hardest tree in the world, its trunk as hard as steel, and Rudy had just hollowed it out with his fist.Hank looked at the fallen steel birch with a serious expression on his face. "I can't knock down this steel birch myself. That guy has reached the level of an Intermediate Stage Able.""What is an Intermediate Stage Capable level?" Finley asked."Jagoan is divided into Beginner, Able, Advanced, and Expert. Each tier is divided into four smaller tiers, namely the Beginning Stage, Intermediate Stage, Final Stage, and Upper Stage.

Rudy and Troy chimed in with a few words from time to time.Carter's family could not join the conversation at all.After chatting for a while, Hank suddenly complained, "You've been gone for years. Why don't you come back to see your teacher once in a while? All this time, she's always thinking of you.""Am I not doing penance? If I find a breakthrough, I will return to see Master immediately."The old man in black replied with a look of despair.Suddenly, Hank felt something was wrong, "You...""Why do you call him 'Master'? He's your father."Then Hank stood up and shouted in a cold tone, "You are not my seniors. Who the hell are you?"The people around them were dumbfounded.Suddenly, the old man in black chuckled, "Now you know. I no longer need to pretend."The old man in black continued to persist and tore the skin off his own face like a mask. Underneath the skin, there was a face that Hank did not recogni

Finley chastised in a cold tone."Bryce, this is an emergency. You have to help. Aren't you a doctor? Where's your medical code of ethics."Everyone gave Bryce a reproachful look.Bryce ignored them and did not even raise his head in the face of everyone's demands.The Carter Family members were embarrassed by Bryce's behaviour."Friend. I'm sorry for not trusting you at first. I beg your pardon. Please save Rudy."Finally, Hank gritted his teeth and apologised to Bryce.As a champion, Hank is a man who holds his dignity in high regard.How could Hank apologise to a commoner if not to save his student?Finley looked stunned. Then, Finley quickly said to Bryce, "Bryce, we admit we were wrong. We shouldn't blame you. Please, save Rudy for me."Finley also had no other choice.Hank had apologised.

Everyone was silent.Has Bryce gone mad? How dare Bryce say such things to Master Porter?William is a highly respected brawler, even by Hank."Bryce, how dare you talk to Master Porter like that. Apologise to him," Hank said angrily.William had saved them, but Bryce's attitude was so bad that it made Hank angry."Bryce, apologise to her quickly."The Carter family also glared at Bryce and urged him on."Forget it."However, William just waved his hand at Bryce and said, "I don't need an apology from you because you are just an ordinary man. However, you're a doctor and you didn't save anyone's life. Your moral outlook is problematic. I'll find out which hospital you work at and I'll get you fired."Then, William said to the audience, "I'm leaving."After that, William rushed out of the place."Goodbye.

"I'm just asking."Bryce smiled.Hearing that, Brewster was relieved. He said, "Don't try to break into this place. Only Mr Shaw knows where the Ancient Herb Garden is actually located. In fact, the royal family who discovered the Ancient Herb Garden had already signed a confidentiality agreement.Bryce smiled back and said nothing more.It was not difficult for him to find out the location. He just needed to find Gary or the Dukes of the royal family and interrogate them.However, it was not an urgent matter as he needed to stay in this Yarl City to find out his origins. So, he decided to wait for the start of the selection.At the same time, Brewster received a text message.After he read the text message, he told Bryce, "Mr Milano, your place is ready. Follow me."Then, they returned to the Sword Skill School and headed for several residences.The residences are not spacious.Each is only about three or four hu
Accepted
Hearing this, Allen looked angry.However, after a while, she smiled awkwardly and said, "Bryce, I'm just kidding. I'm just joking. Since you are already a teacher at the Sword Skills School, we will be colleagues from now on. We will meet every day. Just forget what I said earlier."Allen is a teacher at the Sword Skills School and he has so many students.If he knelt down and apologised to Bryce now, he would definitely become the joke of the Sword Skills School for all time.Bryce didn't say anything, but his gaze turned cold."Allen is really shameless. Already lost the bet, now he's acting like nothing happened.""If Bryce had lost, he wouldn't have let Bryce go.""Allen is annoying. How can someone like that be a good teacher?"The people who were there also criticised Allen."Allen, don't embarrass us. I am the one who is ashamed of what you have done. Kneel down and apologise to Bryce."Brewster shouted at Allen in excitement."Mr Miller, you've lost the bet. Do you want to em
Amazement and Awe
Brewster was dumbfounded. He did not expect Bryce to agree to his request.Bryce is very stubborn.He still accepted the challenge, no matter how difficult it was.In her opinion, Bryce must be an arrogant person because he is talented in Sword Skills and is easily provoked when others provoke him.However, why would he choose to take the risk if he could play it safe?It didn't seem like a wise move. Everyone looked at Bryce in surprise, then shook their heads.Although talented in Sword Skills, he shouldn't act that arrogant.Doesn't he know that the higher he flies, the greater the pain if he falls?If he lost, he would suffer the consequences. Hearing Bryce's words, Allen burst out laughing."You already agreed to it. I've agreed too. If you win, I will kneel down to you and apologise."Allen was convinced that there was no way Bryce could refine his martial arts techniques to Expert Phase in just an hour, so he agreed without hesitation.After saying that, Allen's smile suddenly
Cheer Support
"Ruben."Allen rushed over to Ruben to check on his condition.The audience erupted in applause.Owen could not resist standing up and clapping for Bryce."Absolute genius.""Bryce is great. There will be other talented masters at the Sword Skills School."Brewster also stood up and applauded sincerely.A roar of applause filled the entire hall.All participants applauded without exception.Bryce's outstanding performance impressed them.They had questioned Bryce's talent and ability, even suggesting that he was not a master.However, they were surprised to learn that Bryce was so talented. They admired Bryce."Bryce is strong, but nothing compared to the talents from other departments." Bonnie said spitefully in the corner of the hall.However, Bonnie actually recognised Bryce's ability.Owen slowly stood up and walked towards the arena, then called out, "I hereby announce that the tea

"Where's your sword? Hurry up and take it out. Otherwise, people will think I'm bullying you."Ruben was surprised to see that Bryce was not carrying any weapons."Sword?"Bryce smiled faintly. He clenched his fists and used his Internal Force to pick up the branch that had thrown him to the floor."Do you want to fight me with that branch?"Ruben's face became grim.Ruben thought that Bryce was patronising him."I have a sword in my heart, so everything can be my sword." Bryce said faintly."What are you showing off for?"Ruben was angry. "You're showing off for being talented in Sword Skills."However, if you dare to show off in our fight, I will make you regret it."All your words are nonsense."Ruben started to move after finishing his sentence.He pointed his sword at Bryce.Bryce smiled faintly as Ruben's sword was about to stab him. Bryce picked up the branch.Ruben looked at him contemptuously.Ruben initially thought that Bryce could demonstrate his Sword Skill techniques wit
Admiration
The roar of the swords filled the air, as if they wanted to rebel from their owner's grasp.All the participants exchanged confused and anxious looks.They didn't know what had happened.Everyone started thinking about what was really going on in their minds.The crowd gasped, suddenly turning their heads towards Bryce in unison.After Bryce performed his technique, strange things began to happen.It was because Bryce had mastered all the techniques and reached the Expert Phase.It was only natural that Bryce was recognised as a genius in Sword Skills.The weapons have energy and they want a strong owner.Bryce's strength was great enough to pull those weapons. All the weapons were eager to serve Bryce.The three judges widened their eyes in disbelief."Is this the Expert Phase?" Owen muttered."Mr Woolley, do you think Bryce is amazing? Genius. Would you believe that Bryce could reach the Expert Phase just by reading a book once? Oh, my goodness." Brewster said excitedly. Allen was s
Unpleasant Treatment
As soon as they entered, they noticed Bryce.Bryce was still too young. There was no doubt that he stood out the most among the few Brawlers who took the exam. It was hard to ignore him.They also doubted Bryce's strength and wondered if Bryce was an Expert.However, this will only be known once the second round begins.If Bryce did not have the strength of an Expert and came to play around, Bryce would receive severe punishment.Hence, they all just observed Bryce without harbouring any dislike for him.However, when they saw that Bryce was just randomly flipping through books and not cultivating Sword Skill techniques, they became angry.According to them, Bryce did not pay attention to the exam at all.They think Bryce is just playing around here.They considered Bryce's behaviour to be disrespectful to the Yarl City Martial Arts Institute.At this time, Brewster who was in charge of the first round of the exam asked Bryce, "Why don't you cultivate the Sword Skill technique?""I've
Trials
The next day.Bryce came to the Yarl City Martial Arts Institute again. He came to take the Sword Skills instructor selection exam.Bryce came here for two reasons.The first is to explore the Ancient Herb Garden.The second and most important thing is to find out his identity.Bryce wanted to investigate the totem.Bryce believed that the pattern on the school badge of the Yarl City Institute of Martial Arts was the same as the pattern on the small altar Bryce saw in the Great King's Mausoleum. it was not a coincidence.Therefore, Bryce wanted to enter the Yarl City Martial Arts Institute to find out the truth.At the same time, a woman wearing work clothes stood at the door.Bryce approached him and asked, "Where is the location of the Sword Skills teacher exam?""Do you want to take part in our school's Sword Skills teacher exam?"The woman was shocked.The woman's name was Bonnie Carter. She was in charge of receiving people taking the Sword Skills teacher exam at the door.The pe
Information
"If we join the Carter Royal Family, what kind of status will I get?" Veronica asked after weighing up the good and bad.If she had many advancement opportunities within the Carter Royal Family, she would have been willing to take them.However, if she could only become a marginalised figure after joining the Carter Royal Family, there would be no point in joining."You seem to be quite ambitious."Jaime instantly understood Veronica's thoughts and said with a smile, "The Carter Royal Family treats everyone equally and values the talented. As long as you have the ability, you will be rewarded, and even have the opportunity to run for leadership in the future."To get Veronica to join the Carter Royal Family, Jaime added some tantalising conditions.After all, it's just a verbal promise, it won't affect anything.Veronica was rather excited after hearing Jaime's words.Veronica believes that she can continue to be stronger and achieve a lot within the Carter Royal Family as long as she
