City lord's Party (4)

"Hello, senior."

Ethan gazed at the elderly woman in front of him.

"You are."

"Senior, my name is Mu Yan, and I come from the Mu family."

"The Mu clan...from the capital."

Mu Yan nodded.

"Edward's birthday isn't all that important to Mu's family. What brings you here?"

"We've come to see you and Axel Twilight about something."

"Oh, what is it?"

"Look over there..."

Ethan turned to face Axel, who was speaking with Mu Xue.

"She was the Mu family patriarch's daughter."

"She also had S-level wind element talent and was a Grandmaster."

"What do you think?"

"Not bad."

"How about an arranged marriage for Axel Twilight and our Young Lady?"

Ethan splurted what he was drinking this time.

"Do you know what you're asking?"

"I know."

"I can't make decisions for our young master."

"Our young lady decided this kind of thing."

"Do you dare to ask our young lady the same question?"

After hearing Ethan's words, Mu Yan was terrified. She knows the young lady in question. Inquiring about Axel's marriage was like asking her to die.

"You also know your young lady's temperament, Senior, and if she finds out, she may flatten our Mu family."

"That is why I am seeking your advice."

"I can't meddle in the affairs of my young lord."

Mu Yan remained quiet.

"Did Senior tell him about his sister?"

"No, and also don't bring it up."

"Okay, senior."

Mu Xue is unaware that her elder attempted to arrange a marriage.

"Thank you for coming to my birthday party, everyone."

"I am extremely grateful for everyone's presence."

"You also know that martial artists have always been superior in our country."

"In recent years, our town has produced some outstanding martial artists."

"On the occasion of my birthday, a modest competition between youngsters will be held."

"I'm hoping this will keep us entertained."

This did not surprise Axel because it is all too often in this world. It's more like custom. It will also serve as a means for people to demonstrate their worth.

"Axel, are you going to fight?"

"No, but someone is going to invite me to a fight."

"What level did you reach?"

"Intermediate."

Mu Xue nodded.

All of the guests are making their way to the battle arena.

"Who do you believe is going to win?"

"I'm not sure, but I believe it's Henry."

"I heard he got to the intermediate level."

"Wilson also made it to the intermediate level. Wilson triumphed over Henry the last time."

A difference of opinion soon erupted in the audience.

After a while, the competition began. The majority of them came from wealthy backgrounds, with a few from commercial families. Some young people hope that these powerful families or city lords will take notice of them. They will only be able to progress if they join certain families.

The Cooper and Walker families are the most notable. There are also some Henry and Wilson lackeys.

"I heard young Lord Axel began training in martial arts. I'm not sure if young lord would exchange some moves."

Henry gazed at Axel with burning eyes.

"Of course, why not?"

"Axel, are you certain Henry has advanced to the intermediate level?"

"Don't worry, Uncle Edward."

Axel entered the stage.

"Do you believe Axel will win, Lady?"

"I'm not sure."

"I'm hoping he'll break that bastard."

**********************************

"Don't worry, young lord. I'll reduce my strength to a low level. After all, you began practicing at a young age."

Axel detects sarcasm in his statements.

{I heard you're impotent.}

"What did you say?"

{It appears that you are deaf.}

"You...you...."

Axel was directly attacked by Henry. Henry used his signature move, the eagle claw, to try to seize Axel's neck.

Outside the stage.

"What happened, why did Henry assault Axel so suddenly?"

"Thoams, tell me what happened. What made Henry react that way?"

Edward asked of Thomas, who sat next to him.

"I'm not sure."

Thomas gazed at his son, puzzled by his son's reaction.

Axel communicated with Henry via a neuro link. He can communicate with others within a ten-meter radius using this. That is why no one has heard Axel's statements.

Axel gazed at Henry in front of him, who was attempting to grip his neck. Axel ducked down and punched Henry when he was only one meter away.

Henry, who was in the air, could not defend himself against that punch. He felt like he was hit by a massive truck when Axel's fist smacked him.

Henry rolled around, fighting to keep his balance, and peered at Axel.

"You...broke through intermediate level."

The audience erupted in response to Henry's statements.

"I heard a week ago that young lord was low-level."

"Has he already reached the intermediate level?"

"What a terrifying ability."

"At this rate, he might be able to catch up to others."

Edward gazed at Axel on the stage.

'Has he reached the intermediate level?'

'I thought his talent was lacking. My guess appears to be incorrect.'

***********************

"It appears that your young master was gifted in martial arts."

Ethan has no idea how to respond to such a question. Others may not be aware, but he is aware that his young master is already nearing the Advanced level. When asked to describe his ability, he can only say he was a devil. Others will be scared if they learn about the situation.

Ethan chooses simply to nod.

Axel had already finished the third layer of Body forging the previous week. This layer enhances all organs of the body, with a concentration on the five most critical organs. including the brain, liver, heart, kidneys, and lungs.

This strength was nearly at the Advanced level after completing the third layer. He'd reach the advanced level in a matter of days. Unlike methods, the technique Axel was practicing was completely distinct. Axel has a long way to go before becoming a Star disciple.

{Based on your reaction, it appears that you're impotent.}

{That's why, all the ladies you killed were not defiled.}

{Henry, I know a grandmaster, do you want to consult with him?}

"You...Axel, I'm going to kill you."

Henry screamed and charged towards Axel.
