Chapter Forty-Eight: The Stick

readx;?“ yes, it's been a long time—" The old man sneered, and he slammed his cane into the ground, leaving a small hole several centimeters deep in the concrete floor. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info "But what disappoints me is that even after all this time, you are still as naïve and weak as before. It is said that a person matures over time and experience, and this phrase is clearly not suitable for you. ”

Matt gritted his teeth, but didn't directly refute the old man's words. He looked around for a moment before asking, "After such a long time, what are you still doing in New York?" ”

"If you're not too stupid in your mind, you'll remember that our war with the Hand Guild has been going on for hundreds of years, and this war won't end anytime soon." The old man said proudly, and Matt nodded gloomily, as if he had no problem understanding what he was saying. Peter, on the other hand, was confused. His gaze kept scanning back and forth between Matt and the old man's faces, trying to make sense of the situation.

"Why, do you want to say that the war has come to New York?" Matt asked, and the old man glanced at him disdainfully, as if despising his intelligence.

"If their forces are strong enough to develop to the United States after blocking us, it is enough for us to surrender directly, and what are we going to continue to fight?" He still spoke in such a natural and haughty tone that Peter was already a little impatient. "But they did find new allies here, and they've had a pretty big move lately. If they succeed, it will indeed cause some unnecessary trouble for innocence. ”

At this, the old man smiled like a fox. "And I, of course, have come to sabotage their relationship."

"And what are you doing here? If you want to destroy their alliance, do it. We don't want to get involved in your little war. "Matt deliberately accentuated his tone on the word 'war,' with a rare hint of mockery." I don't believe you're here just to say hello. ”

"I need your help. I came to New York alone, and there weren't enough people. Although you are not qualified, you can be regarded as my disciple anyway, and you can help a little bit. Besides—" The old man looked at Peter, and his tone became a little meaningful. "You seem to know some pretty interesting friends..."

"Wait?" Hearing this, Peter, who had been unable to interject, finally couldn't help but speak. "You mean, you just showed up like this, humiliated my friend, and then wanted us to do you a favor?"

"That's right." The old man readily admitted, and Peter choked on his reaction, and it took him a while to recover.

"Then you're dreaming." Peter said coldly, his hands clenched into fists, ready to strike. "Get out of here until you completely anger me."

"Young man, it's not a good thing to be so angry. You don't want to stick too much to Matt's stinky temper. But then again, if you refuse without even hearing clearly, you may have reached the point where you are stupid enough to be saved. The old man said unconcernedly, and his bad attitude finally made Peter angry.

"Look for death!"

Peter's eyes flashed, and the Force under his feet exploded instantly, and the whole person burst towards the old man. Although the old man in front of him didn't look strong, as Matt's teacher, Peter didn't dare to be careless, and used his best strength at the beginning.

The Force flowed like water between the muscles and bones of his right arm, instantly bursting out the power of his entire right arm, making his punch a few points faster again, making a sharp sound of breaking through the air.

The playful expression on the old man's face finally put away, and his expression became solemn. His staff jumped into his hand and struck Peter's punch. And the moment the two sides collided, the staff was instantly shattered into pieces, and the force of Peter's punch was barely weakened. This punch of his strength was enough to punch a hole in a brick wall, and naturally it was not so easy to solve.

However, this momentary obstacle was enough for the old man to make the next move. He took a deep breath and made a strange handprint in his hands, blocking it in front of Peter's punch before it could hit him.

Bang!

A dull explosion sounded, and Peter, who was the main attacker, was knocked back two steps, his face was pale for a while, and his breath was suddenly confused for a while. However, the old man's condition was even worse than his, and he was directly shaken back by Peter's punch four steps, and his face became flushed. He coughed violently twice, leaving a trail of blood at the corner of his mouth. However, at this moment, he showed a strange smile, and made another gesture with his hands.

In the next moment, Peter was surprised to find that his mental power was being absorbed by something unknown at an alarming speed, and the old man who was standing opposite him was getting better and better, and the internal injuries he had just suffered began to recover rapidly. Peter gritted his teeth, and instantly forcibly mobilized a large amount of Force power, sealing his spiritual power, and at the moment when the blockade was completed, Peter seemed to feel that something invisible was cut off.

The old man exclaimed, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, scattering the ground at his feet bright red. And Peter's such a savage act was not without consequences, a feeling of weakness came from his mind, making his face pale for a while, and he could hardly stand still.

"Yes, yes, now I can control my breath so freely. You can do that at this grade, and you're really good. "The old man, who looked a little embarrassed at this time, was still very arrogant." Matt, a terrible kid as a student, might be a little better than me as a teacher. Of course, he was different from me in that he didn't look for a stupid student. ”

"Old man, your knife mouth is so powerful, be careful of being slapped in the face." Peter said coldly. The short fight just now had already made him feel the strength of the person in front of him to some extent. His strength is roughly similar to Matt's, and in some ways even a little weaker than him. But the oddities about him are also quite tricky.

However, if the other party can only go so far, Peter believes that he can still get through a few tricks with the other party. The punch just now is the best proof of this. And with Matt's help, this old man wouldn't be able to survive ten moves under their joint efforts.

"A slap in the face? Boy, you don't have much knowledge, so I won't bother with you. The old man chuckled. How about it, I'll give you a chance, now kneel down and kowtow to me three times, and I'll hand over this unique stunt to you. The old man has taught nearly 100 students, and he is definitely much better than the fool next to you. ”

A fierce look appeared on Peter's face, and he clenched his fists, and the anger in his heart was already burning. Now he just wants to beat up this inexplicable and wonderful guy in front of him to see if he can still be so cheap when the time comes.

A hand was placed on his shoulder, and Matt patted him on the back, signaling that he didn't have to do anything. Then he stepped forward and turned to face the old man.

"Stick, after you abandoned me, there is no more relationship between us. You are not my master, and I am not your apprentice anymore. Matt's tone was tinged with anger. Don't come and ruin my life again. ”

"Ruining your life?" I don't know if the name is a name or just a nickname, but the old man laughs dumbly at Matt's words. "You take your mediocre and boring life so seriously, or do you? Besides, you owe me a favor, what can you do as a blind man without me? Besides, at least in this matter, helping me is helping yourself. ”

Peter showed his attitude by spitting on the ground. Matt, on the other hand, raised his eyebrows, seemed to be somewhat interested in what Stickser was going to say.

"The fool you got caught, his boss is the new ally of the Hand Society. Or rather, the forces that his boss represents. If I'm not mistaken, you need some help dealing with him now, right? We have a common enemy. It was at this juncture that Peter threw out this important message, and Peter was visibly shaken when he heard it.

"You mean, you're willing to help us deal with Kim?" Peter's body relaxed, but his expression became more serious. If the person in front of you is really here to help them, it will really be a relief in the snow. Although he is not very credible, he is very powerful, and more importantly, he seems to know something that Peter and Matt don't know.

"Sort of, I help you, you help me, it's just a win-win situation. But now is not the time to discuss this. "The stick cleverly dodged the problem." I still have some things to do today, old man, and I'll meet at the old place in the evening, and I should bring another person over then. You should still be using your father's gym, right? ”

Matt nodded, and the stick waved at them, and turned away. Peter glanced at Matt, and neither of them spoke.
