At this moment, Henry Foster finally seemed to truly regard Brian Carter seriously. Based on his earlier performance, he immediately saw through to his real strength.

Brian Carter, however, paid no attention to Henry Foster, instead fixing his gaze on the somewhat fearful Samuel Foster: “Get up! Continue!”

Chapter Six: Heavy Hand

“Huh... this Brian Carter has actually broken through to the Marrow Cleansing Realm!?”

James Walker, who had just come downstairs, saw Brian Carter easily defeat Samuel Foster and Robert Foster, and looked a bit surprised.

“What’s so strange about that? Senior sister, to repay the The Foster Family patriarch’s kindness in raising her, specially asked for a Marrow Cleansing Pill to give to Brian Carter, to settle all debts. With a pill personally refined by an elder of our Hunyuan Heavenly Sect, even a pig could be pushed to the Marrow Cleansing Realm, let alone a person.”

“A Marrow Cleansing Pill, such a priceless treasure that money can’t buy—no wonder he could break through! I didn’t expect Miss Ethan to have such a rare treasure in her possession!”

George Green’s eyes lit up.

Karen Miller glanced at him with a look as if he were a country bumpkin: “Of the many precious pills in the twenty-four nations, including the Lorraine Kingdom, over ninety percent originate from our Hunyuan Heavenly Sect. Elder Zhuri has awakened the Firebird bloodline, cultivates the Vermilion Bird True Art, and has obtained the essence of the Mysterious Flame, making him a true master of alchemy. As his disciple, Senior Sister Ethan can easily obtain not just Marrow Cleansing Pills, but even more precious pills like the Five Qi Chaoyuan Pill or the Essence Dragon Pill. A mere Marrow Cleansing Pill is nothing.”

“An elder skilled in alchemy...”

George Green, who had already intended to curry favor with Ethan Brooks, a disciple of the Hunyuan Heavenly Sect, secretly drew in a sharp breath at these words.

“This Brian Foster has such exquisite swordsmanship. Without their cultivation advantage, Samuel Foster and Robert Foster can’t handle Brian Foster at all...”

Charles Reed said in surprise. He hadn’t known Brian Carter was this capable.

George Green thought of how Ethan Brooks had already fallen out with the The Foster Family this past month, and the The Foster Family had slandered her reputation more than once. Ethan Brooks was surely displeased. She had once benefited from the The Foster Family, so it wasn’t appropriate for her to step in now, lest she be accused of ingratitude. But as for them...

“Samuel Foster and Robert Foster have some friendship with us. Now that they’re in trouble, I’ll go see if I can help.”

George Green said with a smile, and stepped forward.

James Walker paused for a moment, then immediately understood George Green’s true intention. He smiled and said, “Three days ago I was drinking with Henry Foster. I’ll go join the fun too.”

So, the two of them, one after the other, quickly walked toward Henry Foster, and from dozens of meters away, called out first: “Henry Foster, are you in trouble? Do you need our help?”

Seeing George Green and James Walker, Henry Foster, who had been embarrassed by Brian Carter’s breakthrough to the Marrow Cleansing Realm, brightened up. His gaze swept over the two of them and Ethan Brooks, who had appeared at the alley entrance, and he immediately understood why they were willing to help. He said, “You two have come at just the right time. This boy has committed a grave offense, and we were about to take him back to the clan to await the elders’ judgment. But unexpectedly, his cultivation suddenly surged, and for the moment we can’t subdue him. Please, help us capture him. I, Henry Foster, will be eternally grateful!”

“Henry Foster, you... you dare collude with outsiders to bully a member of our The Foster Family!?”

William Foster, standing in front of Henry Foster, shouted angrily.

“A member of the The Foster Family?”

Henry Foster glanced at Brian Carter: “What I see is not a member of our The Foster Family, but a criminal who has already been expelled from the clan registry and must be taken back for judgment!”

“Haha, we don’t really know what happened, but since Brother Henry Foster is in trouble, as friends, let’s deal with it first! Brother George Green, you can rest for now. Dealing with Brian Foster alone is more than enough for me!”

James Walker laughed loudly. Eager to show off, he didn’t wait for a reply and instantly charged at Brian Carter: “I hear you’re the direct heir of the The Foster Family. Let me see what you, the next successor of the The Foster Family, are capable of! Take my Twelve Forms of the Swimming Dragon!”

“Brian Carter, be careful! James Walker reached bone-penetrating strength three years ago, and the Twelve Forms of the Swimming Dragon is a superior combat technique. In actual combat, it’s even better than our The Foster Family’s Green Wood Sword Art... You should run...”

William Foster shouted anxiously.

“Run? Heh, this alley only has two exits. Where do you think you’re going? The Foster Family girl, I think you and your brother should just obediently go home with Henry Foster and the others to accept your punishment.”

George Green chuckled, shifting his body to block Brian Carter’s escape route. If Brian Carter really wanted to flee, he’d have to get past this expert who had already entered the Organ Refining Realm.

“You...”

Just as William Foster was both shocked and angry, a familiar voice echoed once again above the alley.

“Pa!”

The result for James, who had charged in with the Twelve Forms of the Swimming Dragon, was no different from Samuel Foster and Robert Foster earlier. He was sent flying by a single sword strike from Brian Carter, his body shooting back as fast as he’d come, crashing to the ground, and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

“That’s it?”

Brian Carter glanced at James, his expression...

Seemed speechless at his eagerness to jump up and get beaten.

For a moment, James’s face turned crimson. In front of Ethan Brooks, Linda Green, and even his own sister Olivia Walker, he’d been sent flying with a single blow, and even slapped across the face in utter humiliation. He was instantly beside himself with shame and rage: “Bastard, I’ll kill you!”

“Clang!”
