"Do you mean to say that your grandfather is a grandmaster? Lv Song-Liang, ranked 8th on China's grandmaster ranking?"
Lv Hua's words had piqued Mike Jones's interest.
After all, grandmasters were top fighters in all factions.
In Chu Sect, grandmasters were made elders.
Hence, Mike Jones couldn't help looking slightly more impressed when he learned Lv Hua was related to a Chinese grandmaster by blood.
"Uh huh. Young Master Jones, do you happen to know him?"
Lv Hua was undoubtedly delighted to hear his response.
It would be easier to get things done if Mike Jones was acquainted with his grandfather. From the looks of it now, he was in luck.
Mike Jones shook his head. "I don't know him personally. I just learned about him when I scrutinized the Chinese grandmaster ranking. Although your grandfather ranked low on the list, he was the only martial artist who became grandmaster after he was 60 years old. It is very rare for a martial artist to make breakthroughs at such an age. I merely admire him for his determination and pursuit of martial arts."
Practicing martial arts demanded talent.
Martial artists made the most rapid improvement when they were young.
The moment they became old, and their bodies started to deteriorate, so it was almost impossible to make any breakthroughs.
All this time, people in the martial arts circle felt that if they didn't make grandmaster by the time they were 50 years old, it was almost impossible for them to do it in their lifetime.
Hence, Lv Hua's grandfather became famous for becoming a grandmaster at 60 years of age.
"Oh really? If my grandfather learned of your admiration for him, I'm sure he will feel deeply honored," said Lv Hua as he chatted with Mike Jones courteously.
"Young Master Jones, do you think you can let my friend off..."
After chatting briefly, Lv Hua asked Mike Jones about Lu Yan-Xi.
Mike Jones nodded. "Well, since she's a friend of yours, I can let her off for offending me. However, no woman can say no to the Jones clan. If she sleeps with my cousin for a few nights, I can wipe the slate clean."
Lu Yan-Xi thought she might escape unscathed this time, so her face sank when she heard what Mike Jones said.
Lu Yan-Xi naturally knew what Mike Jones was asking of her.
She knew that she would certainly come to a tragic end if she ended up in their hands.
But Lu Yan-Xi didn't want to spend even a single night with the man.
"Hua, I don't want to..." Lu Yan-Xi begged as she looked at Lv Hua and shook her head. She didn't want to take up their offer.
Lv Hua didn't want Lu Yan-Xi to sleep with them either. He looked at Mike Jones and chuckled as he said, "Young Master Jones, to be honest, she's my girlfriend. It was all a misunderstanding. Allow me to apologize on behalf of my girlfriend. I hope you can let us off on account of my grandfather. I will buy dinner to thank you for it and take the opportunity to introduce him to you."
However, Lv Hua's words seemed to trigger Mike Jones, who looked at Lv Hua even more coldly.
He sneered coldly as he looked down at Lv Hua, "On account of your grandfather? I suggest asking him if he dares ask me for favors!"
Lv Hua was left stunned by Mike Jones's words.
"Do you really think I am afraid of a tiny grandmaster? You think too highly of your grandfather! With one word, I can gather a bunch of grandmasters. Also, all of them can rival your grandfather. If I wanted, I could even get a supreme grandmaster to work for me. As for my appreciation for your grandfather, I admire his determination and not his ability. It's like marveling at the ants by my feet. Despite how puny they are, they continue to work hard. That's all there is to it." Mike Jones laughed coldly. Despite his calm tone, his words sounded threatening and cold.
In an instant, everyone trembled in fear.
