Chapter 541: One Life for One, Absolute Fairness
Thomas Harris moved with lightning speed, reaching his brother within seconds. He never expected Great Ape to harm his brother right in front of him!
“Oh no!”
Chan, Ken, and others were horrified.
They watched as Thomas Harris angrily yelled, intending to kill Great Ape.
But it was too late. In a breathless moment, everyone watched the platform closely.
At the same time, Sean’s eyes revealed a hint of resolve. He raised his right hand, clenched his fist as if flames were rising from it.
“Do you think you can stop me?”
The flames on his fist emitted blue smoke, then disappeared in an instant.
“Boom!”
Sean’s fist struck Patric Harris’s heart, the flames tightly held in his palm exploded upon impact.
The explosion engulfed the entire platform, causing a massive vibration.
When everything calmed down, everyone was astonished to see the platform turned into ruins.
“Patric Harris-”
Thomas Harris shouted heartbreakingly as he rushed to the platform too late to stop Sean’s final blow to Patric Harris.
Thomas Harris bore scars from Sean’s punch, but his protective gear and inherent strength prevented severe injuries.
In the next moment, seeing the unrecognizable Patric Harris, Thomas Harris’s anger reached its peak. He struck out at Sean’s back with his palm.
In an instant, Sean was thrown meters away before anyone could react.
“Poof!”
Everything happened in the blink of an eye. The onlookers were still processing when the dust settled, seeing Patric Harris dead and Sean lying meters away, with only an enraged Thomas Harris standing on the ruined platform.
All eyes turned to Sean on the ground.
Motionless, his fate uncertain.
Did Great Ape die?
Donald Sitwell on the platform felt jubilant; this was the outcome he desired.
“Thomas Harris violated the rules of the match! Your Highness, please be the judge!” Hastiff and Pastiff spoke in unison, seeing Sean lying with a fierce aura, “Buddha Academy is not a place for unruly behavior!”
“Mr. Harris only acted in haste to avenge his relative. Moreover, the Harris family is an important noble family in our country. I believe Mr. Harris’s actions were justified, and I’m certain that even Great Ape would have done the same in that situation. It’s all fair.”
A decisive statement!
People exchanged glances, some feeling unjust for Great Ape, while others agreeing with the Crown Prince’s words.
Only the elders at Buddha Academy knew that siding with Thomas Harris was reasonable for Donald Sitwell.
Hastiff and Pastiff were desolate, realizing they had destroyed a unique talent.
Donald Sitwell left with a wave of his sleeves.
However, just as he descended the observation platform, a familiar voice echoed from outside the arena.
“What fairness indeed…”
Donald Sitwell was startled by the voice. Turning to look, he saw a fierce storm brewing on the platform, surprising everyone.
Everyone recognized the voice, it was indeed Great Ape!
“Great Ape!”
“You’re still alive!”
Disciples from Plainwater Town gathered around, seeing Sean’s seemingly lifeless body squirm slightly.
Then, Sean’s hands pushed against the ground, arching his back and standing up as if nothing had happened.
“As His Highness said, fairness demands that the one who kills me must pay the price!”
Before anyone could react, Sean’s palm struck Thomas Harris fiercely, who struggled in vain against Sean’s Bright Energy.
With a piercing scream, Thomas Harris flew several meters and crashed into the wall. Blood sprayed as he slid down, leaving a trail of crimson like a blood-colored silk ribbon.
“What arrogance, challenging the unattainable!”
The audacious words thundered across, silencing everyone.
Sean coldly snorted, “Killing Patric Harris was one, killing Thomas Harris makes two kills. Even facing the Crown Prince, I am not afraid.”
“You!”
Donald Sitwell was shocked, watching Thomas Harris take his last breath, his eyes wide with regret and resentment.
But facing the crowd, Donald Sitwell suppressed his discontent. He left Buddha Academy and returned to the royal city to report to Albert Sitwell.
…
At Hall of Great North
Donald Sitwell recounted the morning’s events at Buddha Academy to Albert Sitwell.
Albert Sitwell, ice-cold-faced, exuded a murderous aura. The atmosphere in the hall turned tense.
Albert Sitwell’s rage was palpable!
“What a Great Ape! Daring to defy even me.”
“To eliminate Thomas Harris with one blow, this Great Ape is not just at the Dark Energy middle stage. He likely has reached the Dark Energy complete stage, or even higher. A remarkable feat. His identity is not simple.”
“But to challenge me is futile!”
Albert Sitwell breathed heavily, closing his eyes in contemplation.
“Father, do you think he used some kind of secret technique? I fought him twice, probing his strength. He could hide his true power, but not his realm,” questioned Donald Sitwell hesitantly.
Albert Sitwell’s eyes widened suddenly. He snorted, “In the vast world, how much do you really know!”
“Based on my knowledge, there is a miraculous pill in the Hall of Jade called ‘Suppressing Pill.’ It was personally concocted by that distinguished person. After consumption, one can conceal their realm at will. Those lower in realm than them won’t see their true strength.”
“Could it be that I underestimated him, and his realm is higher than mine? Even equivalent to Bright Energy like you, Father?!”
Donald Sitwell was astounded, realizing Great Ape was a formidable master.
“Naturally, I suspect that even the name Great Ape could be a facade!”
Albert Sitwell’s words left Donald Sitwell shuddering, realizing he might have been the next to die if he stayed. Remembering his fight with Sean, he trembled, his legs weak.
In contrast, One Shot, a half-step Bright Energy powerful, caught the key points in Albert Sitwell’s words and hesitantly inquired.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“Your Majesty mentioned a divine pill like Suppressing Pill can only be concocted by the Lord. How does this Great Ape possess such a pill?”
Albert Sitwell shook his head, saying gravely, “Before you returned, I contacted Lord Steer.”
“As per the plan, Lord Steer was due to arrive this morning. However, midway, he received news of a disturbance at Plainwater Town.”
“As a result…”
“Lord Steer went to the Hall of Jade in Plainwater Town, learning that everyone, including the Master Dasch, was killed.”
“Only Single Eye survived, who revealed the truth under Lord Steer’s questioning!”
“Great Ape!”
“He is, in fact, a Bright Energy master at the Consolidation stage! He single-handedly destroyed the entire branch of Plainwater Town and took two Suppressing Pills from Single Eye!”
One Shot’s face turned grim at the revelation. Donald Sitwell collapsed to the ground, overwhelmed by fear, devoid of the composure befitting a Crown Prince, akin to a petrified cat.
“Your Majesty, who is he really?”
As for Great Ape’s true identity?
Albert Sitwell didn’t provide a direct answer, saying, “I have my suspicions, but the truth remains to be confirmed.”
Albert Sitwell had long harbored doubts, Great Ape might be General Wolf! His motives in North Kingdom were unclear, but the situation had spiraled beyond Albert Sitwell’s control, necessitating meticulous observation of Great Ape’s actions.
“I have already summoned Lord Steer to the royal city. With Lord Steer’s Confluence proficiency, this Great Ape poses no threat!”
