RUMBLE!
A thunderous voice reverberated throughout the atmosphere and left Mount Van shaking.
The King of Fighters, Sword Saint, and Tang Hao were so startled that they stood up.
"Can you sense this power?"
"Is it a supreme grandmaster?"
Sword Saint and others instantly looked solemn.
They dashed out to look for the owner of the voice.
However, he was long gone by the time they arrived at the foot of Mount Van.
Only a wooden box roughly the size of ₐ coffin lay on the ground quietly.
"He couldn't have gone far." "Let's give chase."
The King of Fighters and the others didn't open the wooden box right away. Instead, they split up and went running after the culprit.
An hour later, the King of Fighters and the others returned to the foot of Mount Van.
"Did you catch him?" Everyone asked each other after they came back.
But they all shook their heads in response.
"I ran for hundreds of kilometers but didn't find anyone suspicious. If God of War were around, there was no way he could escape considering how fast and alert he is," sighed Tang Hao somewhat angrily.
Mount Van was the holy ground of the Chinese martial arts circles, so they naturally felt that someone had challenged their authority.
"Never mind. He probably doesn't mean any harm and is just here to deliver a package," said Sword Saint rather calmly.
After all, he hadn't sensed any evil intent
from the man.
Also, the man had sounded calm and didn’t seem to have anything against them.
Sword Saint and Tang Hao looked at the huge package beside their feet. They looked at the King of Fighters in unison and asked, "Did you order something?"
Mo Gu-Cheng looked lost. "No, I didn’t. I never shop online. Also, I didn't buy anything recently."
"That's odd. If this isn't your package, why did he ask for you to sign for it?" Tang Hao felt puzzled about it.
Although they hadn't seen the man, judging from how powerful his shout was, he was certainly a supreme grandmaster!
It sounded mindboggling for a supreme grandmaster to work as a courier.
Also, the recipient of the package was clueless about it.
"How would I know?" the King of Fighters shrugged before he continued, "Perhaps someone is trying to harm me. God knows what's in the box."
The King of Fighters kicked the box as he spoke and sent it flying.
He wondered what was in the mysterious package.
The wooden box broke into smithereens with a bang.
Judging from the sound, the King of Fighters didn't hold back.
The wooden box lay completely shattered two meters away from them.
The sound of bones breaking could be heard as the wooden box split apart.
It was accompanied by an agonizing howl.
"AHHH!”
An agonizing scream came as a silhouette flew out from the battered box to fly a thousand meters away before it landed in the forest and went out of sight.
The King of Fighters and the others were stunned.
Tang Hao was especially caught by surprise. He glanced into the distance before looking at the King of Fighters and asking quizzically, "Was that...a man?"
The King of Fighters nodded. "I think so. It seems I was right. Someone is trying to send a Trojan horse to me. The man must have been hiding in the box and waiting to assassinate me. Fortunately, I outsmarted him and got to him first. Not even a supreme grandmaster could have survived that kick of mine."
The King of Fighters stood with his hands behind him as he spoke proudly.
Tang Hao laughed and gave the King of Fighters a thumbs up. "You a genius. That possibility hadn't crossed my mind."
Then he said, "Let's go check it out. I want to see who had the guts to hide in a wooden box to assassinate the King of
