Chapter 34
“Understood!”
he channeled a stream of internal force
Under everyone’s expectant gaze, Andres positioned himself in front of Dariel. Placing his palm lightly on Dariel’s chest, he into Dariel’s body. Like a scanner, the internal force dispersed, probing for abnormalities within.
As the minutes ticked by, Triston’s andety deepened. If even Andres couldn’t resolve this, he truly had no idea where else to turn. Watching Dariel unable to speak, he was tom between frustration and despair.
I’m sorry, Mr. Webb, but I’m powerless here.”
After over ten minutes of effort, Andres withdrew his hand and explained, “It seems Dariel’s body was struck by an immensely strong internal force. I suspect his inability to speak is related to this. I tried to restore or stimulate the affected areas, but it had no effect at all.
“To recover, you’ll likely need either the person who delivered the strike or someone of equal strength.” Dariel’s expression darkened. Did this mean he really had to beg that country bumpkin for help?
“Mr. Dudley, if even you can’t resolve this, does it mean the person who struck him is stronger than you?”
Most likely.”
Seeing Andres nod, everyone present couldn’t help but feel a tremor in their hearts.
Martial artists were generally divided into two categories–extemal martial artists and internal martial artists. Internal martial artists were far superior. There were further divisions within this realm–beginner, intermediate, advanced, and expert levels.
As a personal bodyguard to Denzel, Andres was an advanced internal force martial artist and one of the strongest individuals they could currently call upon
It Dariel had provoked someone stronger than Andres, it could only mean that this individual was at least an expert internal force martial artist.
As it reading everyone’s thoughts, Andres added unexpectedly, “In my professional judgment, there’s even a chance that the person is a martial arts master,”
This statement Landed like a thunderclap, further intensifying the tense atmosphere
While there was only a one–word difference between “martial arts master” and “martial arts grandmaster“, their capabilities were worlds apart. Even so, a mattial arts master was already powerful enough to dominate in urban settings.
There had been previous instances of families being wiped out overnight after ottending a martial arts master.
“You reckless fool! I’ve told you time and again to stop causing trouble outside! of all people to provoke, you had to offend a martial arts master?
If Dariel could speak, he would have screamed in protest.
A martial arts master? How could he ever imagine associating that term with the country bumpkin he had crossed paths with?
Denzel, Mr. Dudley, do you know any other experts? If we’ve offended such a person, my family must act quickly. Otherwise, we’re doomed.” Well…”
Given D
Denzel’s connections, he did know a few experts. However, as always, whether they would be willing to help was entirely different. “How about this, Triston? Don’t panic just yet. In two days, I’ll be hosting my birthday celebration. Some martial arts masters will be attending as hongued guests. If you have any requests, that will be the best opportunity to make your case. However, whether you can convince them to protect the Webb family is beyond my control”
As a retired general, be might find it difficult to reach out to grandmasters, but martial arts masters were within his network.
Thank you, Denzel. I’ll remember this favor! Should you ever need my assistance, don’t hesitate to ask.”
“Come now, we’re old friends. There’s no need for formalities.”
With Denzel’s reassurance, Triston felt relief, and his tense nerves finally calmed.
Meanwhile, Violet stood silently to the side, her heart growing heavy with worry. The Webb family had her grandfather to rely on, depend on?
but who could her grandfather
