The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 126

Finally, faced with a truth or death situation, the Blood Wolf Team spilled the beans pretty quickly, with no details to spare.

"All right, all right! It was Raymond!" the man blurted out. "Raymond from the Flaming Sun Valley hired us to kill you!" There was a brief moment of silence as Austin took in the news.

"Hang on, WHAT? Raymond? From the Flaming Sun Valley?"

Austin was utterly confused. Of course he had heard about the Flaming Sun Valley. It was touted to be the second strongest among all the five sects in Violet Orchid Empire. In fact, people said it was even more powerful than Sun Sect!

That was exactly why he was confused, though! As someone who was merely an outer disciple of the Sun Sect, why would someone from a more powerful sect want him dead? Yet here they were, even willing to pay others to kill him? As far as he could remember, Austin hadn't had any associations with the Flaming Sun Valley ever in the past.

'Hang on a second!' something suddenly struck Austin. The name Raymond sounded a little familiar to him.

He began to search the depths of his mind, and sure enough, it wasn't long before the revolting face of an arrogant man came to him.

"Ah! It was this guy! The bastard!"

Austin recalled everything clearly. It had happened the day he had gone to dine in the Lotus Tavern in Peace Town, together with Evan and Denali.

Right on the main street outside the tavern, he had taught a young ruffian a good lesson. The punk had a loyal attendant with him called Weaver. This Weaver guy and all the others were calling their master 'Raymond'.

Austin had never expected that he was from the Flaming Sun Valley.

"Tell me! Who exactly is this Raymond? What's his position in the Flaming Sun Valley?"

Austin asked with his eyebrows furrowed. It would have been a costly affair to arrange murder.

He was surprised that the ruffian could have afforded it and that he had born a grudge against him since that time. It really was unexpected that he would go so far as to hire the Blood Wolf Team to hunt him down.

"He is the grandson of Flaming Sun Valley's leader," the man from the Blood Wolf Team answered. Things made a lot more sense now, as the man continued, "and he offered us fifty thousand vital energy crystals in exchange for bringing him your head!"

The grandson of Flaming Sun Valley's leader! So that was why he had been so angry.

A person with that sort of background never would have tolerated eating humble pie!

Fifty thousand vital energy crystals were a very heavy investment and it was obvious only a very high profile person could have afforded that. It seemed that this Raymond character was rather generous, but also hated Austin bitterly.

"Well, well! I never thought that I have offended Flaming Sun Valley's baby boy. Luck be a lady!" Austin sighed, inwardly laughing at his own self. "Looks like I am a fish in troubled waters right now! All is well though."
