"Hey, what's up bro? What's good, Kimmons?" Stout grinned as he approached Billy and the others.
"Stout, it's been a minute. Your skills have improved." Casey responded with a smile.
"Kimmons, don't make fun of me. Compared to you guys, I'm just a scrub." Stout laughed again.
Stout's full name was Damian Chandler. He was a direct disciple of the Secret Essences Sect and had an incredible gifted talent. At twenty-two years old, he not only mastered the true teachings of medicine from the Secret Essences Sect but also reached the advanced stage of Warlord in martial arts cultivation.
Since his last trip to the western region with an elder from Secret Essences Sect, he refused to return to his sect and instead stayed in the western region as Chief Expert of their medical team. He spent his days doing nothing but hanging out with nurses from their medical team.
This time around, Billy called him into town to keep tabs on Alvin Leonard. With Stout's martial arts prowess and his brilliant Medicinal Poison Art, he could easily beat a True Master Warlord, let alone a Novice Warlord.
"Hey there, amazing ladies and gentlemen, we meet again!" Stout exclaimed as he turned and headed towards Azure Fang and the others.
"Stay away from me, you chunky menace," Judge immediately hopped up, his eyes wary.
"Stout, just stay by boss's side, don't come any closer!" Soul Chaser chimed in at the same time.
The two of them were genuinely afraid of this big guy. Last time they crossed paths, he gave them a rough time, and the memories still haunted them.
"You guys are being way too dramatic. My little brother isn't that scary!" Night Orchid chuckled and said.
"My sister is still the best!" Stout chuckled in response.
"Stout, long time no see!" Azure Fang and Frostblade greeted him.
"Azure Fang, when are you and Frostblade going to have a baby?" Stout asked in a serious tone. "When you do, I'll play with him."
Azure Fang and Frostblade both choked on his words.
"Who are you?" Mark Leonard steadied his emotions before looking at Stout and asking.
"I'm your ancestor!" Stout replied. Ignoring him, he turned to Billy and asked, "Boss, the person you want is here!"
Billy nodded before turning to Mark Leonard. "So? You should know him right? Don't tell me you don't even recognize your half-brother?"
"I don't know what you're talking about!" Mark Leonard's face darkened. "Who is he? I've never seen him before!"
Hearing this, Alvin Leonard lying on the ground showed a hint of despair in his eyes. He knew he was completely abandoned.
"Tsk tsk, looks like they're planning to sacrifice their pawn for their king." Stout looked at Alvin Leonard. "You see now? You're just a chess piece for the Leonard family, once they use you up they can throw you away. And yet here you are still guarding their secrets."
"If you don't want to experience the feeling of being eaten alive by ants again then be honest with us, where are those few scumbags who helped design that trap against the former master of SHADOW?"
Stout's threat worked. Alvin Leonard tremble all over with fear as he quickly spoke up, "They... they're..."
"I see, all of you want death, the Leonard Mansion won't tolerate your recklessness." Said Mark Leonard. He wouldn't let Alvin speak anymore.
Mark raised his hand and commanded, "Get them out of here!"
The hundred men behind him all launched themselves towards Billy and the others, each one releasing their strongest aura.
"You're dead!" Ebony Lord and the "Five Sharp Blades" charged forward at the same time.
