Chapter 2128 Events of the Past, and Matthew's Breakthrough
Unfortunately, Matthew was quickly growing fatigued after exchanging a hundred moves.
He knew that he was no match for the masked men, so he attempted to create some distance between
them once more.
He held his sword in one hand, and his nimbus surged violently.
"Be careful, this move is powerful enough to kill a grandmaster."
During their battle earlier, he soon realized that the masked man was far superior to him in terms of
strength.
It was just that his opponent had been holding back throughout the battle. Otherwise, he would have
been defeated a long time ago.
It was also for that reason he deliberately warned his opponent in advance.
When the words left Matthew's mouth, the masked man became serious.
The aura around his body quivered, causing the fallen leaves around him to be pushed away from him.
In the blink of an eye, a vacuum was formed around the area under his feet.
Matthew unleashed his ultimate move at the same time—Sword Break!
The masked man immediately dodged to the side, seemingly able to perceive the danger behind such
a move.
A three-foot-long sword slash appeared at the spot where he was standing earlier.
It was not until this moment that he opened his mouth to speak.
"Not bad, brat. It's been a while since we last met, but your strength has improved by leaps and
bounds."
Then, the masked man slowly removed his mask while he spoke.
Matthew instantly beamed with joy upon seeing the other party's true appearance.
"Long time no see, Uncle Billy."
…
The two men chatted for a long time under the moonlight, but their conversation only revolved around
various trivial matters.
There was an underlying sea of blood and grudges between them. Be that as it may, they did not
mention these matters.
Billy sighed softly as he turned his gaze at the bright silvery moon.
"Chaos is about to sweep across the world once more. You should pay more attention to your safety. In
addition, you should keep in mind that the forces in Bainbridge are very intertwined. You have to think
twice before you act."
Chaos in the world? That was the second time Matthew heard about this matter.
At this point, he couldn't be bothered to restrain his curiosity any longer as he blurted out the question,
"Uncle Billy, what is the chaos that will sweep across the world? What is the cause for the chaos?"
Billy shook his head.
"I can't say for certain. It's just that someone has been stirring up various troubles throughout the world
since the end of the great war in the South. This mastermind might be an influential family or an
enormous organization, but they have gradually revealed themselves ever since you appeared in
Bainbridge. Unfortunately, I can't tell you anything else because there are too many secrets involved."
Matthew could no longer repress the doubts that had been suppressed in his heart. "Uncle Billy, is the
great war in the South related to the extermination of the Larsons in the Northern Territory?"
Billy froze for a moment when he heard the question. In the end, he nodded after a brief pause. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
"Indeed. The extermination of the Larsons in the Northern Territory was just the beginning. Rumors
were floating around back then, claiming that the Larson Family's treasure had been smuggled to the
South. It was the reason why the war broke out in the first place. Various other factors have confirmed
this speculation. It would seem that somebody had attempted to use the Larson Family's treasure to
completely disrupt the state of affairs in Cathay back then."
Afterward, the atmosphere sank into silence again.
The silence stretched out for some time and Billy rose to his feet.
"Anyway, you've heard about the re-election of the Martial League, right? Here, this is a letter of
recommendation. With this, you will only need to register yourself when the time comes."
Then, Billy left the area in a flash. Content of Draмąոovels.com
Matthew was the only one left standing frozen in place.
"As long as I am strong enough? It turns out that I have been going in the wrong direction all along.
Instead of being obsessed with learning the truth, I should have been strengthening myself."
Following those words, the surrounding wind gradually picked up.
The shackles surrounding his heart abruptly shattered like glass, and his nimbus overflowed into the
surroundings.
A long while passed before the surroundings became quiet once more. He had successfully achieved
the half-step grandmaster level!
