“Heh heh, did you know, Ethan Foster’s face is still swollen like a steamed bun!”
As for Ethan Foster, David Bennett had long since stopped paying him any mind. He had already reached the standard of a martial artist and had stepped into the ranks of the elite, so how could he be distracted by such a minor character?
“Hee hee, what did you do last night? You promised to take me fishing, didn’t you? Now that you’ve got a beauty, you don’t care about your brothers anymore, huh?”
Brian Sullivan teased, his greasy face blooming into a rooster comb-like grin.
That rascal—only now did David Bennett remember he’d promised to go fishing with Brian Sullivan, but later forgot all about it while practicing the Ape Dragon Foundation Diagram.
“Don’t talk nonsense!” David Bennett glanced around, only to find that Grace Howard, who usually appeared by now, was nowhere to be seen.
What’s going on?
“Everyone stand properly!” With a cold, stern voice, William Grant walked over, accompanied by several men who looked to be in their thirties or forties.
David Bennett recognized most of these men—they were all people who held real power in East Slope Town.
For example, that chubby bald man, who looked harmless enough, was actually the police chief who struck fear into the hearts of all the local thugs!
As for the man with the hooked nose, he was none other than the head of the Lian family, Charles Foster, who controlled the town’s economic lifeline!
But compared to these men, there was a young man in his twenties with rather handsome features whom David Bennett was seeing for the first time.
The reason he noticed this young man was because, whether it was the chubby police chief or Charles Foster, both looked at him with a hint of respect.
“Today we’re holding the graduation test, so the graduating class can start making plans early!” William Grant announced loudly after glancing at Charles Foster.
The students who were about to start their morning exercises immediately became lively, especially the graduating class, who began discussing it loudly.
They didn’t care much about when the graduation test would be held, since their results were already set.
But according to the schedule announced by the school yesterday, the graduation test was supposed to be in half a month. Now, with the test being rushed like this, the purpose behind it seemed obvious.
“David, they’re targeting you!” Brian Sullivan’s small eyes flashed as he cursed angrily, “Damn it, these people are shameless!”
David Bennett remained calm. Looking at the attribute adjuster in his mind, he smiled faintly and said, “Things don’t always go as one wishes.”
“All right, all graduating students, test your strength. The strongest will receive a guaranteed spot at Qitian Martial Academy!”
William Grant carefully glanced at Charles Foster before continuing, “Time is tight, so we’ll start the test now. The six graduating classes will go in order.”
“Anyone who causes a disturbance will lose their graduation qualification!”
At this point, William Grant’s gaze fell on David Bennett.
For this student who was about to be cast down because of his own decision, William Grant felt not the slightest guilt.
The strong prey on the weak—that’s how it should be!
If he wants to blame someone, he can’t blame me, William Grant. It’s his own fault for not having a good father!
And just as William Grant’s gaze landed, David Bennett looked back at him.
At this moment, David Bennett’s expression was calm, showing not a trace of fear!
At the same time, Charles Foster seemed to notice David Bennett as well. The look he gave David Bennett was also full of condescension.
To him, this boy who stood in his son’s way posed no threat at all.
Crushing him—at this moment, with just a single move, he could shatter all the boy’s dreams!
“Brian Sullivan, you go first!”
Although Brian Sullivan was quite unhappy, under William Grant’s gaze, he had no choice but to step forward.
“Brian Sullivan, 354 jin, qualified!” As Brian Sullivan’s chubby fist landed on the punching target, a mechanical voice sounded again.
One by one, the students stepped forward mechanically, gathering all their strength and striking the punching target!
“Steven Brooks, 267 jin, not qualified!”
“Michael Bolton, 314 jin, qualified!”
As these voices sounded one after another, it was finally Ethan Foster’s turn. At this moment, Ethan Foster was dressed in a sky-blue martial outfit, looking even taller and more imposing.
But the bruises on his face hadn’t faded, giving him a rather comical appearance.
“David Bennett, let’s see if you can still laugh in a moment. Compete with me? Hmph, you’re way out of your league!”
Ethan Foster said this arrogantly, waving at David Bennett with a look that said, “I’ll play you to death.”
“Haha, haven’t seen Little Ethan for half a month, and he’s even more mischievous than before.” The bald, chubby police chief said with a chuckle.
Charles Foster laughed, “Kids will be kids. As his uncle, you should discipline him more!”
“No problem, no problem. This time Little Ethan is sure to amaze everyone!” The chubby police chief waved his fat hands flatteringly.
As for Charles Foster, he laughed heartily, “It’s all thanks to Teacher Grant’s guidance.”
William Grant’s fat hands waved quickly, as if he didn’t dare take credit. Meanwhile, that young man just shook his head.
