âAre you Fergus?â Someone exclaimed. âFergus? How is it possible?â Everyone in the hall looked at the blackârobed man in disbelief. However, after being reminded, they found that the voice did sound similar to Fergusâ. âCould it really be Fergus? âBut isnât Fergus completely crippled, unable to stand up ever again? âWhy is he here?â
Questions appeared in everyoneâs hearts. At this moment, the blackârobed man spoke. However, this voice sent shivers down everyoneâs spine.
âTch tch tch⦠I didnât expect you all to remember me. I feel so proud.â
After the blackârobed man said that, he slowly pulled back his hood, revealing a familiar face.
Who would it be if not Fergus? Everyone was beyond shocked when they saw Fergus. âHe was already crippled, but why is he here unharmed? âDid Grandmaster save him? However, even Emperor Nimbus would not have a way to save Fergus back then, let alone the grandmaster.
âUnless thereâs someone from a much higher civilization outside the Milky Way or there are some very precious treasures of heaven and earth that can completely cure Fergus.â âFergus, youâve been crippled. How can you still stand? This is impossible! There is no way!â When Beck saw Fergusâ face, he questioned loudly. âHow is it impossible? The world is far more complicated than you think. There are things that you ants canât understand. Stop struggling, you bottomâtier trash,â Fergus said coldly.
âAnts? Trash? Who do you think youâre talking to? Fergus, so what if you can stand again? You were not my opponent before you were crippled, and you wonât be now. Leave right now if youâre smart. Go back to where you belong. If not, donât blame me for being merciless,â Beck pointed at Fergusâ nose and yelled emotionally.
He thought he could soon be the head of the familyâs younger generation.
Hence, Fergusâ appearance created a strong sense of crisis in his heart. It would be better if Fergus had come alone, but he came with Grandmaster Cyrus, so this indicated a huge problem. No matter how exceptional Beck was, he would never have become the head of the younger generation without the grandmastersâ recognition.
At the end of the day, the five grandmasters supported the family. They were the familyâs pillars. Every decision had to go through them before they were executed.
If Fergus had come with the grandmaster, it meant he might have gotten the grandmasterâs recognition beforehand. How could Beck accept this? He had worked hard for so many years, but his efforts were now going to someone else. âOh? Beck, I wonder how youâre going to be merciless,â Fergus mocked.
Back then, Beck was his biggest competitor. Now, Beck was just like an ant to him.
This was the shift in mood that was brought on by the increase of power. âFergus, since you can stand again, I should advise you to appreciate the days when you still have your health. Stop trying to court death. If others can cripple you, I can as well. Are you sure you will be so lucky to stand again when that happens? You better think clearly,â Beck stared at Fergus.
âYou want to cripple me? If you can do so, do it. If you can do it, youâll still be the head of the younger generation.â âAre you for real?â
âOf course! The grandmaster is my witness. If you have the strength to cripple me, you wonât be punished and will become the younger generationâs head. By then, youâll get all the resources for your cultivation.â
âGrandmaster?â Beck looked at Cyrus and asked. Cyrus did not say anything. He only nodded, hinting that Fergus was telling the truth.
