No.1 Supreme Warrior by Moneto

Chapter 1151
“Sigh! It’s a pity that I didn’t manage to end his life this time. I’ll leave to treat my injuries first!”

Yolanda bowed to Lily and wheeled around, preparing to leave.

“Hold on!”

Lily called out to Yolanda.

Yolanda’s heart leaped into her throat when Lily called out to her. Did she say something inconsistent, and Lily found out? Why did Lily call her?

However, to her surprise, Lily flipped her hand and a first-grade premium spirited grass appeared on her palm. She turned around, facing Yolanda, and gestured to her to take the spirited grass. “Although we have an agreement before, that you won’t get any spirited grass if you failed the mission, you were injured this time, so I’ll give you one anyway. I hope you’ll improve faster and reach the middle stage of the demi god realm soon. You’re talented; once you’ve reached the middle stage of the demi god realm, I’ll find an opportunity to promote you to an elder!”

“Thank you so much, First Madam!”

Yolanda nodded with a happy grin on her face as she took the spirited grass. She then left the scene.

After leaving Lily’s residence, Yolanda strolled for a while, only then did she sigh aloud in her heart.

Lily was very sensitive and skeptical; if she sensed something strange, Yolanda would be in big trouble.

At this time, jackie and the others have returned to their residence respectively.

“Dear, you’re finally back! You’ve been out for days and I’m worried sick!”

Selena skipped toward jackie, jumped into his embrace, and hugged him tightly the moment jackie stepped in.

After all, Lily and her gang were vicious and sly foxes; they were not easy to deal with. Although the strong fighter—the Third Elder—had gone for a martial retreat, the White family still had many other strong fighters. What if the vicious gang had sent out a powerful elite to kill jackie and jackie was not able to fight against him? Would not jackie’s life be jeopardized?

“Hehe, don’t worry. Everything is within my control!”

jackie answered, smiling. “Well, it’s true that today when I came back, I ran into the people that Lily had sent to kill me!” jackie added nonchalantly.

“Oh no! Didn’t you bring them on a merry go around by saying you’re going to the branch families of the White? How did the assassins manage to find you?”

Selena was sweating from fear and her voice was edged with panic upon hearing jackie’s encounter.

“The assassins are pretty smart. After going around, searching for a few days, they knew they were tricked. So, they ambushed us on the way back to the White’s main residence!”

jackie smiled while hugging Selena. “However, one of the two assassins named Yolanda is loyal to the White family. At the critical moment, she killed her companion and asked me to cooperate with her in lying and hiding the truth from Lily!”

Chapter 1152
“I see. Lily would probably be furious to death if she knew that the people she sent to kill you took your side!”

Selena burst out in laughter after hearing jackie’s utterance.

“She can’t know any of these! If she finds out, Yolanda will be in big trouble!”

jackie chuckled together with Selena, then he loosened his arms, letting Selena go. He walked toward the coffee table, poured himself a cup of tea then sat down on the chair nearby. “Yolanda is a kind and loyal person. We can definitely rely on her in the future. Besides, I believe there should be quite a number of Lagorios who work for the White family and are loyal to the Whites. After all, Lily’s sly behavior and those dirty tricks of hers have disappointed some of the Lagorios.” jackie uttered as he took a sip of the tea.

Selena nodded her head in agreement. She sat down beside jackie and added, “That’s so true. But, in the future, how can you distinguish clearly which of these people are on your side, and which of them belong to Lily’s side? It’s difficult to know someone’s mind!”

jackie’s forehead puckered as well. “Indeed, it’s difficult to know people’s minds. But when the time comes, we can ask Yolanda about it. And if there’s no other way but to fight, we’ll fight. By that time, we should know who’s taking our side!”

“You’re right. Also, have you found all the herbs needed to treat your father? It should be tough to find all of them, right?”

Selena popped another question, with a concerned look hanging on her face.

“It’s indeed hard and strenuous to get all of it. But fortunately, I’ve gathered all of the herbs!”

jackie smiled. “It’s getting late now. I’ll get some rest, and tomorrow morning I’ll make the pill for Father. After taking the pill for a few days, Father should be well. By that time, when the Third Elder comes back from the martial retreat, he wouldn’t be a match for Father!”

“That’s amazing!”

The heavy boulder inside Selena finally lifted as she heaved a huge sigh of relief. As long as Nash recovers from the poison, nobody in the White family could ever be his opponent. Even if the Third Elder teamed up with some other wolves, they were definitely not Nash’s opponents.

“By the way, Dear, when I was away, did you use the Chi congregation pills that I gave you in your martial training? You have good talent, and those pills will help elevate you to the next level faster.”

jackie quickly thought of something and he asked, “You were a third-grade martial artist before I left, and I guess if you weren’t lazy these few days, you should be a sixth-grade martial artist by now, right? But even if you were slacking, with the aid of the pills, you should be at least a fifth-grade martial artist!”

“When you were not home, I was bored to death and once I stayed still and did nothing, I’d be worried sick for you. So, I might as well train hard every day to kill time. This way, the time passed by super fast! Sometimes, it feels like I was just starting to train but the day has already ended! Hehe! So, the conclusion is, your dear lovely wife is not slacking at all!”

Selena laughed with her face full of smugness.

Looking at Selena’s smug look, jackie could not help but chuckle. “It looks like my dear lovely wife is already a sixth-grade martial artist! Congratulations, Dear!”

“Who said I’m a sixth-grade martial artist?”

Selena, in return, barked at jackie and shot him a deadly stare. “My brother is a sixth-grade martial artist, and I’m already an eighth-grade martial artist! Didn’t you say it before? That I’m super duper talented! Hehe! After I underwent the purification of my body, I was already a third-grade! With such raw talent, an eighth-grade martial artist is definite!”

The corner of jackie’s mouth twitched involuntarily a few times. How could he have imagined that his wife has already become an eighth-grade martial artist in such a short time? That was way beyond his expectations!

Chapter 1153
“Wonderful! That’s wonderful!”

jackie nodded with satisfaction. “In that case, let’s strive to reach the grandmaster level! You’re only considered a strong and powerful martial artist once you’ve stepped into this threshold!”

“For me to become a grandmaster, I don’t think there’ll be any problem. But, to break through to the demi-god level, I’m afraid that it will take me ample time. Because I found out that it’s rather easy to train and improve at the early stages but the higher the level, the more difficult and slower it is to break through!”

Selena had her eyebrows snapped together as she uttered.

jackie smiled bitterly in return. “That’s reality. The gap of difficulty to train between the grandmaster and the highest-grade martial artist is wide, but, at the same time, the strength and power that a grandmaster possesses is a whole lot greater than the highest-grade martial artist. Once you reach the grandmaster level, you’ll learn about chi energy, to control it is difficult. Hence, it’s tough to climb when you’re a grandmaster; it needs not only talent but patience and hard work.

jackie paused and studied Selena for a while, fearing that what he said would discourage Selena. “Your raw talent is greater than anyone else. You’ll certainly reach the grandmaster level and demi god-level faster than others!” jackie comforted. “But I want to give you a piece of advice, don’t merely seek to breakthrough and reach the other levels blindly, you need to spend time to feel the strength of your current level and comprehend it thoroughly. Feel the strength and the chi energy before continuing to breakthrough to another level, especially after reaching the grandmaster level!”

Selena bobbed her head. “Yea, you’re right. After all, Ethan, Lana, and the other Gods of War have trained for so long before they became strong in the demi-god level. I can’t be impatient and rush myself. It’s always better to take one step at a time and have my feet on the grind!”

After pondering critically, jackie then said, “The reason why you could reach the eight-grade martial level in such a short time, I believe it’s because of the raw talent you possess, coupled with the training technique. Although the martial art technique has no name and they obtain it through a random occasion, when I looked at it, it seems complex.”

“Is that so? That’s amazing!”

Selena smiled and then she added, “My brother has been devastated lately when he saw that I’ve become a martial artist two grades higher than him.”

“Right. Dear, it’s getting late. Let’s go to the town at the foot of the mountain to get a good dinner, barbecue or something else. That town is near to the White residence. If we go out later in the night, Lily and her snakes will not find out!”

“Besides, her men lost to me some time ago, they probably wouldn’t think that I would go down the mountain and have fun at this time!”

After thinking about it, jackie held Selena’s hand and said, with hopeful eyes.

“Alright then. I have been staying in for quite some time now. It’s good to go out for a change!”

Selena smiled sweetly at jackie and nodded her head as though she was a mother who gave permission to her son— jackie.

After a while, when the sky turned darker, jackie and Selena went down the mountain without anybody knowing.

The town at the foot of the mountain was lively and prosperous. Although it was a small town, the structures and its liveliness were comparable to a city.

The town being in close vicinity to the White residence was blessed with various businesses that traded martial resources and materials. Besides, the natural chi energy around the mountain was not weak, hence there were quite a number of martial fighters gathered around here.

Moreover, there were even some prominent families staying at the foot of this mountain and some of them were strong fighters of the demi-god level.

But, of course, there were only a few of them of the demi-god level.

Chapter 1154
“Honey, it’s so bustling and lively down here. It’s just like an ancient town; everywhere is full of ancient aura and flavor! I’m starting to fall in love with this town!”

Selena strolled on the streets of the town and could not help but exclaim at the ancient beauty of the town. The crowd of pedestrians, traders, shoppers, and others could be seen walking on the busy street. Some of them were wearing primordial yet fancy clothes; some of the men grew their hair long on purpose. If it weren’t because some were clothed slightly more contemporary and there were mobile phones in their hands, jackie and Selena would think that they had traveled back in time.

“Dear, if you were to wear those ancient costumes, you’ll definitely look stunning!”

jackie noticed a shop selling ancient clothes not too far away; he then pulled Selena into the shop. “Dear, try it!”

“Umm…okay. But it’s embarrassing!”

Selena’s cheeks were kissed pink. Nevertheless, she picked a few sets of clothing and tried them on.

“Oh my…Dear, you’re absolutely stunning! If you were born in ancient eras, you’d still be the Queen of Beauty!”

Enjoying the view of Selena wearing the ancient costumes, jackie nodded in satisfaction.

“Shameless! We already had a kid this big! How can you praise me like that without feeling embarrassed!”

Selena blushed and responded in a shy tone. She stared fiercely at jackie.

“We’ll buy all these! Dear, you don’t have to change back into your clothes, just wear these. Quite a few people are wearing ancient costumes on the street, so there’s nothing strange and embarrassing about it, right?”

jackie chuckled aloud with a radiant smile plastered on his face.

“Sir, are you sure you’re taking all of these? All these clothes are made of silk; they’d be more expensive! Besides, the few sets that Madam had tried on just now, one set costs more than one hundred thousand! If you were to buy all these sets, it would be close to a million!”

The lady owner of the store had her eyes lit up when she heard jackie’s words. The clothes that she sold in her store were all of top-notch quality. But because they were all expensive, they may not even sell one set a day, and sometimes they only managed to sell a set in two or three days, and that was considered as good!

The lady owner could not have imagined that the two would buy four sets at once!

“What’s the matter? Are you afraid that I can’t afford them?”

jackie stared at the other party coldly and then he flashed out his card. “Take this, swipe it, and enter one million. No password is needed!”

“I’m glad to serve you, Sir! A man like you deserves to marry such a charming wife!”

It was the owner’s first time meeting such a generous customer. She then took the bank card and went to make the payment.

Soon, the two left the store.

However, shortly after the couple left the store, a slightly plump and chubby woman— dressed in an ancient costume—paced toward the store with a group of people.

She quickly spotted Selena wearing a dainty and beautiful ancient costume—which was significantly better looking than hers. Her fury sprang to life in a second.

The chubby woman pointed at Selena and huffed to the man beside her gruffly. “Honey, that dress is really nice. I want it!”

The rotund man—who walked behind the chubby woman—looked toward the pointed direction. He could not help but his eyes lit up excitedly. “Alright, babe, I’ll take you to buy one!” He smiled and nodded.

Nonetheless, to the man’s surprise, the chunky woman was exasperated in the next second. “No! I want that dress on that woman! That dress is dainty and beautiful, and it might be a limited edition. There’d be only one piece of such a dress in this world! I want the one on her!” The woman pouted.

“Umm…Babe, it’s not nice to snatch from her though.”

Chapter 1155
The rotund man’s forehead snapped together, showing hints of hesitation.

The woman saw the hesitation in the man, and she was not happy at all. She pinched his earlobe and barked at him huffily, “You’re going to get me that dress, do you hear me? Don’t you ever forget that you’re merely an adopted son-in-law of our family, don’t you dare to disobey my command! If I tell my dad that you’re bullying me, you’ll be in the grave in no time!”

The man was frightened down to the soles of his shoes when the threatening words entered his ears. He was so scared that he responded almost instantly. “Okay, Dear, okay, let go of my ear. I’ll get that dress for you!”

After the drama ended, the man paced toward jackie and Selena together with the wife and a group of men.

jackie did not prepare for such a situation to happen. He was just about to have a nice dinner at the nearby barbecue restaurant; however, they were stopped by the group before they were able to enter the restaurant.

“Huh? What’s wrong? Something wrong? I don’t think I’ve met you guys before!”

Looking at a bunch of people in front of him, jackie smiled frostily. He was a true god-level martial artist, and the heir to the family head of the White family; if these people wanted to look for trouble, they were definitely wishing for death.

Nevertheless, perhaps, he just came to the White family not long ago and had not been to this town before, that was why no one knew him.

Otherwise, these men would not be so brave to block his path.

“Heh! Kiddo, it doesn’t matter if you’ve met me before or not!”

The rotund man smirked and gazed at Selena. “The costume on your wife is dainty and beautiful, my Honey here is very fond of it. So, let’s make a deal. Take it off and sell it to us. The price you’ve paid for it, I’ll double it!”

“Take it off and sell it to you?”

Before the conversation, jackie thought that it was his wife’s beauty that attracted this bunch of flies. He did not expect that the other party was eyeing the costumes on Selena.

“Of course! Take it off right here right now. We’ll buy it. Haha! How about this, if you think the doubled price is too little, I’m willing to triple it. After all, this dress doesn’t look cheap, it has to be more than one hundred to two hundred thousand dollars, am I right?” The rotund man chuckled and continued, “You have made hundreds of thousands of profit just by selling this costume to me!”

The plump man chortled aloud, his face full of mirth.

The few bodyguards behind the man could not help but swallow their saliva hard when they heard their master’s suggestion. After all, it was rare to see such a beauty in this town.

“Hmph! You’re funny, aren’t you? With just a few hundred thousand, you want to buy my wife’s clothes, even worse, you want her to take it off on the street for you guys?”

jackie sneered coldly, in fact, he was seething inwardly that he felt about to burst from rage. ‘Damn fatty, you’re sure a dreamer!’

“Brat, my hubby is being considerate and polite to you guys!”

At this time, the chubby woman stepped up and bellowed condescendingly, “Why don’t you ask around about our identities? Our family is one of the three prominent families in this town! We’ve tripled the price to buy your clothes! It’s considered as an act of kindness from us!”

“Oh, what do you mean by not being polite and kind then?”

jackie continued plastering a cold smile on his face, clasping his arms before his chest.

“Heh! We don’t even need to buy the clothes from you! We could just take it off your wife coercively!”

The woman jeered with wicked laughter. “But, I’m being considerate for the dress. What if your wife resisted and the dress tears in the process of taking it off? Then my loss will be huge. So we initiated the deal and was nice to you for you to take it off and sell it to us, got it?”

“Oh, I don’t know about this!”

jackie’s eyes went cold and frosty; he shot the couple a deadly stare. “What I do know is that you’re digging your own grave!” jackie hissed.

Chapter 1156
“Oh boy, what a low life you are. I didn’t expect this from you. How dare you threaten me!”

The woman guffawed when she heard that. “It looks like money can’t solve this matter today. I planned to give you some money for the clothes, but now I no longer bother to do so. Since you have a death wish, I shall grant it!”

After ending her last word, she pointed toward jackie and Selena and commanded with a stern tone. “Kill this man, and then take off the woman’s clothes. I don’t believe that whatever I, Autumn Maack, want, I can’t get it! Except for a few, there’s almost no one in this mountainous area that I couldn’t offend!”

“Hey, punk, you’re seeking your own death. Who asked you to refuse the kind offer from our Young Mistress Maack! Now you can’t blame our lady!”

Several bodyguards sneered as they walked toward jackie with their fists clenched tightly.

‘How arrogant and snobbish were these people?’ jackie thought in his mind; a cold smile appeared on his face. Did they actually want Selena to take off her clothes in the street? The proposal itself had successfully awakened the angry beast inside jackie.

jackie had trimmed down his temper in seeing things for Selena. But solely for the matter related to Selena—which was a forbidden area that no one could provoke—he could not contain his rage.

“Wait, hold on!”

At this time, a young teenage girl stood out and spoke up.

“Miss Maack, it’s just one dress, why bother? I saw a few nice pieces yesterday and they’re of good quality too! Why don’t I take you there to have a look? I’ll buy you those clothes. So, why bother with common people?”

The young girl looked only seventeen or eighteen years old. Her smile was accompanied by two little radiant dimples at the corners, projecting a youthful and sunny aura.

jackie was a little surprised at the sudden appearance of the young lady. He did not expect somebody to speak up for him in such a situation.

Nevertheless, jackie did not plan to let the matter slip; he did not plan to spare the rotund couple’s life. The other party had completely angered him in every way. Even if the other party wanted to let him off the hook, he had no intention to let them go at all.

“No way!”

The plump woman snapped. “Kayla Leigh, don’t you try to play superhero today! They pissed me off and I’ll not just let it go! Today, this man will die right here! I’ve already given them a chance, but they don’t know how to cherish it!”

Kayla gave an awkward smile. “Miss Maack, hold on. Just wait a little bit longer, I’ll try to persuade them!”

Kayla immediately came before jackie and said softly to him, “Mister, a wise man knows when to retreat, don’t fight with them, okay? Take it off and sell it to her. She is Autumn Maack from the Maack family and her family is unbelievably powerful and authoritative, even my family, the Leigh family, has to bow before them. Listen to me, take the dress off, sell it to them and you still can make a profit out of it. It’s better than being killed, isn’t it?”

jackie laughed out loud upon hearing Kayla’s words. He smiled and said, “Miss Leigh, thank you for your kindness. But, I would like to know your opinion on this matter as well. If you were to take off your clothes in the street like this, publicly, and sell your clothes to others, would you do that?”

“What? No way! How is that even a question?”

Kayla answered without even thinking about it.

Nonetheless, she still tried to advise jackie, “But, that’s because the Leigh family is not that weak; they won’t bully me like this. But it’s different for you, and I think what’s more important is to save your life. Where there’s life, there’s hope. As long as you’re alive, you could wait until you’re powerful enough and come back for revenge in the future!”

jackie, on the other hand, smiled gently at her words. “Thank you again for your kindness. However, I’m not letting them go today!”

“Huh?”

Kayla was completely dumbfounded. Initially, she did not want them to be killed, which was why she came forward to convince them. However, to her surprise, this man boasted without shame.

“Sigh! Forget it then. If you guys are looking for death, I can’t help it too.”

In the end, Kayla could only retreat to the side, looking helplessly.

“Hmph! What a waste of our time!”

Those few bodyguards had long wanted to strip Selena. Although they could not do anything with her, at least the view of uncovered Selena could feast their eyes.

After they grunted for a few seconds, all of them charged toward jackie with a tightly balled fist.

Chapter 1157
jackie breathed out a cold laugh, and in a split second he disappeared; he was shuttling among the bodyguards at a lighting speed while swinging his arm. With a few flashes, all of the bodyguards laid lifeless on the ground.

“What?!”

The fatty and the plump woman—who witnessed the scene—had their eyes widened as large as saucers and their jaws dropped to the ground. They were in shock. The bodyguards that they brought were of high-grade martial artists, and one of them was even a first-grade grandmaster! The two did not expect their men to be killed in just a few seconds.

“It…it looks like this brat must have reached the higher grade of grandmaster level; his martial prowess and skill are not bad at all. Now I finally understand why he wasn’t afraid of them a moment ago. If he and his wife hurry up and leave the place, and not stir up a bigger trouble, they should be fine!”

Kayla whispered to herself while watching the scene on the side.

“Punk, I’m a Maack! How dare you kill my men! Are you looking for trouble with the Maack family?”

The woman fumed hotly, at the same time, her voice trembled. She used the Maack family as a tool, in hopes to threaten jackie.

“Heh, I see. Should I wait for your men to beat me to death, only then I could fight back?”

Cold and heartless smile plastered on jackie’s face; he slowly paced toward the two fatties.

“You…you…you…stop right there! What are you doing?”

Seeing jackie walking toward them at a painfully slow pace, the fat couple looked at each other and were both in complete terror.

“Oh? What do you think I’m doing?’

jackie chortled wickedly and threw the question back to the couple.

“Punk, you’re not trying to end us, are you? Let me give you the last warning, my father-in-law is a strong fighter of the demi-god level. If you dare to make a move on us, today will be your last day!”

jackie let out a good laugh, then he turned to the rotund man. “Well. There’s one way for you to get out of here alive, which is for you to cut off one of your wife’s arms right here. Perhaps, in that way, I can let you two live. Otherwise, you’ll have to die here tonight!” jackie proposed.

After he finished his last word, he flipped his palm and a fine sword appeared in his hand. He threw it on the ground in front of the fatty. “Your choice” jackie dictated.

“Brat, I’m the Young Mistress Maack, are you looking for death! How dare you ask my husband to cut off my arm! Who gave you the guts!”

Autumn’s temper sparked that she could feel anger thrummed through her veins; she put on the almighty and authoritative look as she barked.

Nonetheless, a heavy slap landed on her cheek right after she finished her sentence. The force pushed her down that she plopped onto the ground harshly; a stream of blood flew out of the corner of her palm. jackie slapped her.

“Dear, can’t you read the situation properly? This time we’ve met someone who’s not afraid of death. This brat is hot-headed and reckless! He’s not afraid of anyone!”

The fatty stomped his foot at the situation, why could not his wife grasp the current atmosphere of the situation? He then gritted his teeth and picked the fine sword on the ground.

“Honey, you’re not really going to cut my arm, are you?”

Autumn looked at the sword, tears shimmered in her eyes and her face was ashen. How could she have thought that the other party was not afraid of the Maack family and daring enough to attack her?

“Brat, you’ve promised to let us live if I cut her arm, right?”

The fatty wheeled around and looked at jackie.

jackie nodded, “A promise is a promise!”

Chapter 1158
“Alright. You said so!”

The fatty nodded his head. He clenched his teeth and raised the sword in his hand. “Hold on for a while longer, my wife,” he told Autumn, who was on the ground. “I have painkillers and medicine that stops bleeding here. You’ll be fine. Just grit your teeth and get through it!”

“Ah. I’m scared!”

Autumn was so frightened that she was on the verge of tears. She looked at jackie. “I was wrong,” she said. “Please, let us go. I’ll give you one billion dollars. How about that? One whole billion!”

“Heh. Did you really think I would care about one billion?”

jackie chuckled, his eyes full of disdain.

The rotund man swung his sword, slicing the woman’s arm. Blood sprayed the moment the blade’s lethal edge came in contact with skin, and the arm fell off.

“I have medicine here!”

After he cut his own wife’s arm, the fatty threw his sword to the side and gave her painkillers and medicine to stop the bleeding.

Even so, the woman was still in so much agony that all color leached from her face. Cold sweat beaded across her forehead, and she looked like she was about to faint at any time.

Quickly, with the fatty’s support, the two quickly disappeared from jackie’s vision.

jackie picked up the sword lying on the ground and wiped the blade clean on the body of a bodyguard. Only then did he flip his palm and kept the sword.

“You don’t mind me letting them go, do you, Dear?”

jackie smiled and asked Selena.

“I’ll just follow whatever decision you make from now on, Dear!”

Selena clung onto jackie’s arm. Delight had shot through her when she had seen that woman’s arm being lopped off. The woman had overstepped her boundaries—she was a straight-up bully. Even for someone as kind as Selena, the bully was unbearable.

“No way. You can’t just listen to whatever I say. What if I had agreed to sell the clothes to them? Would you listen to me then?”

jackie said, smiling.

Selena rolled her eyes at him. “You’re not someone like that. Or would you want to shame your wife in front of so many people?”

Amazingly, the two still had the strength to argue back and forth here. Kayla panicked and stepped forward. “Why aren’t you two leaving? Seriously. You let them go! Aren’t you afraid that they’ll bring more fighters here?” she said. “Those bodyguards were just normal bodyguards. They’re not even strong among the Maack family. Just hurry up and get out of here. You won’t get a chance to leave if you’re one step too late!”

“That’s right. Just leave, both of you. You managed to put Miss Maack in her place. She always disregards others and bullies the townsfolk regularly, so you’re helping us to take revenge. She’s like this because her family has the White family backing them up. So you’d better leave!”

An old man also advised jackie and Selena.

“The White family is backing them up?”

jackie frowned after he heard that. That surprised him.

Chapter 1159
Kayla assumed that jackie was afraid when she saw his brows scrunching together. “That’s right. Let me explain everything,” she said. “Sometimes, the White family will get a familiar friend to introduce someone, or they will come down from the mountain to choose a few talented warriors to enter the White family. This rarely happens, but some people become part of the White family like that!”

Here, Kayla paused for a while before resuming, “One of the Maack family members had been lucky enough to enter the White family. And he managed to mix quite well with them, so he’s the helmsman now, and he’s a warrior at the intermediate stage of the demi god status. Miss Maack is so cocky because of this!”

“Just leave, young man. It’ll be too late if you don’t. I’m sure that Autumn won’t let this slide just like that, judging from her personality! Besides, you were the one who chopped off the arm of the first daughter of the Maack family. Master Maack won’t let you off the hook either!”

The old man advised jackie and Selena anxiously.

“Thank you for your concern. But if that is truly the case, all the more we shouldn’t leave!”

jackie raised his hands into a fist-to-palm salute toward the two. Then his attention wandered toward a barbecue stall not too far away. “We came here to eat barbecue,” he said, smiling. “But we haven’t even eaten yet. How could we leave now? Right, Dear?”

“Right? I’m hungry!”

Selena gave a wan smile. She took jackie’s hand in hers and walked toward the barbecue stall.

“Those–those two still have the heart to eat barbecue!”

The old man was so agitated that his mustache practically bristled. He huffed and stalked over to the side.

Kayla was furious as well. However, she did not give up on them. She chased after them and stared at jackie, huffing. “Don’t you love your wife? If you do, you two should leave. Now!” she said. “Even if you don’t fear death, you can’t drag your wife along with you!”

Warmth filled jackie’s chest at the sight of this compassionate girl. “How talented are you, girl?” he said, smiling.

Kayla was speechless for a moment. “A ninth-grade grandmaster. Why? You refuse to leave, and you still want to ask about my talent. At any rate, I’m pretty strong, and I have good talent. I’m probably stronger than you!”

jackie grinned. “You truly have a talent for someone so young. Have you never thought of training with the White family and becoming one of them?”

“The White family?”

Kayla furrowed her brows. “I do. But I don’t have a single connection with the White family. There’s no way I can get in. Besides, who knows when they’ll be in the mood to come to town to recruit people. I have no hopes no matter what, I’ll keep dreaming!”

Kayla was stunned for a while here. “Ah. Why am I telling you all this? More importantly, I think you two are good people. I don’t want to see you die!”

“Hah. Don’t worry. We won’t!”

jackie laughed. “Kayla, right?” he said to the girl. “Sit down and join us. I’ll treat you!”

“All right. I’ll join you. Since you’re going to die soon, I should help you spend whatever money you have right now!”

Kayla rolled her eyes at jackie and took a seat before the two, still huffing.

…

“You’re too cruel. You actually cut my arm off!”

At that moment, Autumn plodded forward, supported by the fatty.

“I had no choice. Don’t you understand that both of us would have died if I hadn’t done that? At least we get to live like this. We had no choice.”

The fatty was helpless. “Ah, you were rude just now too. Why would you want her clothes? We wouldn’t have landed ourselves in this situation otherwise!”

Chapter 1160
“Hmph. I couldn’t bear to see it. I look good in traditional clothes. That woman had no right to look better than I do. The sight just offends me!”

The woman harrumphed; venom filled her eyes. “Let’s hurry back,” she said. “We can’t just let the couple go like that. I’ll get Daddy to kill them!”

The fatty was internally speechless, but he had no words of protest. After all, he was simply the Maack family’s live-in son-in-law, with no particular standing in the Maack family. If he did not give in to her whims, she and her family would make his days miserable.

“I had no choice just now, Dear. Do you still hold a grudge against me?”

The fatty prodded as they walked forward.

Autumn’s expression darkened. “It’s your fault for being such a lousy and weak warrior. I wouldn’t have been bullied like this if you weren’t a piece of trash,” she snarled, glaring at her husband. “Just look at that man from just now. He’s nothing like you—only a sixth-grade martial artist at such an old age. You’ll be a laughing stock if words of this got out…”

…

The fatty was speechless. He just supported Autumn until they finally arrived at the Maack family.

“Young Miss, what–what happened?”

The bodyguard at the entrance was shocked when he took in the sight. One of the bodyguards quickly went in to make a report.

Autumn and her husband had not walked very far in when the master of the Maack family, Ace, came out with a group of people.

“What happened, Autumn? Who was it? Who dared to cut off my daughter’s arm!”

Ace stared at the stump that had been his daughter’s arm. He was so furious that he had gone purple and his teeth were gritted.

After all these years, he never had any sons. He only had her as his only daughter. That was why she was the apple of his eye, and he always coddled her as though she was a precious piece of porcelain.

He never thought that someone would be so bold to cut off his daughter’s arm.

“It was a young man, Father. Autumn and I were shopping when she noticed a couple, where the wife was wearing a hanfu. Out of goodwill, we told them that we would buy the clothes at three times their worth. But we never thought that they would refuse. They even rebuked us with sharp words!

“Autumn, naturally, was furious. She got the bodyguards to snatch the clothes, but her husband was extremely strong and killed all the bodyguards. Then he forced me to chop off one of her arms, or he would kill the both of us otherwise. I had no choice. It was to save the both of us!”

The fatty immediately dropped to his knees and narrated everything that had happened, while adding his own flair to the tale.

“You piece of sh*t. You can’t even protect your own woman!”

Ace was so angry that he sent the fatty flying a few meters away with a single kick. “The lot of you, take the Young Miss and her husband back to rest,” he said. “I’ll bring the rest of you to find that couple. We must avenge my daughter!”

“No. I don’t want to rest, Daddy. I must go. I need to see them die before me. I want to see that punk begging for his life on his knees!”

Autumn raised her head, her features twisted into a vicious expression. “Besides, you don’t know where they had attacked me. Get people to carry me there. Quick. I’m afraid that they’ll leave if we’re one step too late!”

“All right. Let’s go!”

Ace announced, huffing.

“I’m going too, Father. I want to see them die before my eyes. Those two were too much!”

The fatty ran over, holding in his pain, subtly declaring his loyalty.

“Let’s go!”

Chapter 1161
Ace shot a look at his weak son-in-law. He took a group of elders and powerful fighters and rushed for the place. They were all extremely fast, as though they were shadows racing in the darkness.

“Wait for me…”

The fatty, who was weak, was quickly left behind. He was so tired that he kept huffing and puffing, unable to keep up with the speed of those fighters.

“Daddy, I think he must have left. I shouldn’t have told them that I was the daughter of the Maack family just now. Now that they know, they must have left!”

Along the way, Autumn spoke to her father.

Ace’s expression hardened. He did not say a single word, rage boiling in his veins.

“Aye. They’re still here. They’re there, Daddy. They’re eating barbecue!”

However, Autumn’s eyes brightened soon after she noticed the three people eating at the barbecue stall.

“Why is Kayla there? Is she their friend?”

Ace clenched his fists as he observed the scene from a distance.

“I don’t think Kayla knows them. She had even advised the two of them to sell the clothes to me earlier. Maybe they’re treating her to a meal because they think she’s pretty nice? If that’s the case, Kayla has unintentionally helped me by stalling them!”

Autumn’s eyes brightened. “Maybe Kayla wanted to help me because she saw that so many of our men died. We’re pretty close, after all. Yes, that’s possible!”

“No matter what, that couple can no longer escape now that we’ve seen them!”
