Chapter 52: The Challenge
The Chamber of Commerce was very efficient, and even Green saw the newspaper posted on his way to the cafeteria in the evening.
There is a full page of Green's public challenge on it, and the wording is extremely tough, degrading the Boulder Martial Arts Hall as useless, and it can be ridiculed as much as it can, that is, Green himself feels that it seems a little too jumpy when he sees it.
Green stood in front of the notice board and looked at the challenge, and the passing students around him whispered about him.
"He's too arrogant, just at the level of a knight squire, he dares to openly challenge the owner of the Giant Stone Martial Arts Pavilion, that is a veteran knight powerhouse who has been famous for a long time in Julu City, not only has countless disciples, but his own strength is also well known. ”
"He only defeated Guma a few days ago, and in the blink of an eye, he was going to kick the Morley family's martial arts hall again, which was to completely match the Morry family. And judging from his strength, Johnson Pavilion Master may not necessarily be his opponent. ”
"That's possible, but the Morley family has been standing for many years, how can he easily move it, don't end up lifting a stone and hitting himself in the foot. ”
Green heard these small words clearly, and did not pay attention to them.
The Morley family has been building prestige in Julu City for a long time and has created an unshakable image, and most people are not optimistic about his challenging behavior this time.
To be honest, he didn't have a grudge against the Morrys, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with what the other party was doing. It's just that since he has already sided with the trading house first, he can only fight for his own interests.
The cake in Julu City is so big, and the Morley family has already occupied the largest piece. This time, the Chamber of Commerce planned to challenge the Morley family's martial arts hall, and Green believed that it was not just as simple as attacking the opponent's momentum, I am afraid that the huge underground forces controlled by the Morley family through the martial arts hall were the goals of the Chamber of Commerce.
And this time he can't just be a thug, but gaining some fame is not what Green wants.
This is a great opportunity, and Green already has some ideas in mind about how to use this challenge to his own benefit.
After a casual dinner, Green made his way to the Brotherhood's headquarters.
I've been here many times, but it's still as deserted as ever.
If you have time, you may be able to go to another stronghold in the city, I heard that that it is the main stronghold, and the various facilities are relatively complete, such as doctors, training rooms, and testing grounds. The headquarters within the academy are only backups, and are mainly responsible for liaising with the organization.
After casually inquiring with the guards at the door, Green couldn't help but be a little disappointed when he got the news that Thea hadn't returned.
Last time, he wanted to invite Thea to the hotel's opening celebration, but was told that Thea was out.
The main reason for this visit is to find Thea and take on this month's mission by the way.
For some reason, he felt that many of his questions might be answered by Thea, such as the mysterious bell and the haunting of the Academy.
As a peripheral organization of the super-powerful Round Table Council that has continued from historical legends to the present, the Brotherhood's energy is far beyond his imagination, and with Thea's status and strength, he definitely knows the inside story of all this.
But since the Theans were not there, these doubts had to be put aside for now.
Heading straight to the mission room, Connor, who was in charge of managing the task, was half-lying in her chair, boredly fiddling with a few tiny magicians.
Wow.
Green knocked on the door, waking Connor up.
"Hi Green, long time no see. ”
Connor's expression brightened when she saw someone coming, as if she was a little too bored to stay here all day.
"Every time I come over, I see that you are bored, so I brought you something that might help you pass the time. Green pulled out a few books from his pocket and placed them in front of Connor, all of which were some of the most popular romance novels for teenage girls in the city of Giant Deer.
"Wow, it's the full episode of "The Domineering Master Falls in Love with Me", Green, you are so good to me!"
Connor held the book tightly in her arms and spun it around twice, looking very excited.
"Do you stay here every day and can't go out?" asked Green casually.
"No, I can go out and hang out if someone helps me with the shift, but recently Winnie has been on a mission, so I can only stay here every day. I often didn't see anyone coming for days, and I was bored to death. Connor shrugged helplessly.
"Well, I'll come and see you more when I have time. Today I want to see if there is anything suitable for my task, preferably the one that is relatively simple and straightforward. ”
Connor raised his head and thought hard for a moment, "The simple and straightforward ones are mostly simple tasks of the Black Iron level, and the tasks of the Silver level...... Look at these guys. ”
She took out the magic guide and pressed it a few times, and several tasks appeared on the screen.
Green took it and took a closer look, most of them were chasing and killing missions, and the opponents were all knight-level, but the goal was clear, and the opponent's activity location and haunting time were also deliberately indicated.
Green touched his chin and didn't feel very satisfied. Although you don't have to follow up and investigate in person like last time, the strength of the opponent is also stronger than the big-mouthed Martin last time, and they are basically mid-level knights, and it may take a lot of effort to win, and they are all in the downtown area, which is not very convenient.
At this time, Connor seemed to remember something, and pulled out a newspaper from the information on the side, which was printed with Green's challenge book.
"You're going to challenge the Boulder Martial Arts Gym, right? There's a mission here to dismantle a medium-sized gang, the Axe Gang, and it's the Boulder Martial Arts Gym supporting it behind the scenes. If you succeed in kicking out the gym, then the backstage of this gang will collapse, and it will probably not be long before it will be annexed, and you can also be counted as completing the task. You don't have to waste time. ”
Connor smiled slyly and called up a mission in the wizard for Grimm to see.
Green looked at it twice, nodded with satisfaction, and said that he would take the task.
"Isn't that a violation?" asked Green, curiously.
"What are you afraid of with Lord Thea?" Connor asked rhetorically, but Green was speechless.
Thea is his guide to the Brotherhood, and the two of them have a very special relationship in the rules of the Brotherhood. Therefore, Thea's exception to withdraw a set of advanced combat skills for him in advance did not attract too much opposition, and it shouldn't matter if he went through a back door on the mission now.
So Connor took Grimm's silver coat of arms, performed a simple operation on the magic guide for a while, and then returned it to Grimm.
Then, after a casual chat, Green took his leave.
Back in the dormitory, Green went straight back to his room and devoted himself to cultivation again, and after recovering this time, he felt that he was not far from a breakthrough.
The next morning, Fat Tom rushed back, put a document in front of Green, and said with a happy face, "They accepted the challenge." ”
Green took the information and flipped through it, it was all some information about Dwayne Johnson, the owner of the Boulder Martial Arts Pavilion.
"Boxer? ”
Green raised his eyebrows, the mainstream of the empire is sword skills, and most of the combat skills are based on sword skills.
In this way, boxing can be regarded as non-mainstream, but the Jushi Martial Arts Gym can still develop well by teaching boxing, and it must have some strength.
"When's the time?"
Green asked casually, setting the information aside.
"A week later. We will invite more than a dozen famous martial arts hall owners to come and watch the battle together, including some of the leading figures in Julu City, and be sure to win the beauty. ”
"What about the Morley family, they didn't react at all?"
Fat Tom shook his head, "The Morley family is in a lot of chaos now, and the two elder brothers of Kumo are taking advantage of his serious injury to compete with each other for power and profit, and they can't take time to deal with us for the time being." ”
Green nodded, indicating that it was fine.
It wasn't long before Fat Tom took his leave, and lately he seemed to have become busy, often staying in the firm.
Green stayed alone in the room, slowly closing his eyes, and the fighting energy in his body surged again.
......
South of the city, the Giant Stone Martial Arts Hall.
Dwayne Johnson, the owner of the hall, was standing on the second floor, looking down at the training ground in the hall below.
His hands that have been practicing boxing all year round are covered with a thick layer of calluses, his physique is strong, two meters tall, and the blood vessels on the top of his bare head are protruding.
It has been more than ten years since the Giant Stone Martial Arts Hall opened, and it has also taught many knight-level powerhouses. The reputation in Julu City is very high, and there are people who come to sign up every day, and the students of the martial arts hall are full all year round, and many people have to go through connections to get a place.
"In the past two days, many students in the martial arts hall have been discussing behind their backs, and some people's hearts have fluctuated about the fact that the genius Green, who claims to surpass Young Master Guma, has challenged you. ”
An older coach walked out from behind Johnson and said worriedly.
Hearing this, a younger coach next to him was a little unconvinced, he had been practicing martial arts in the Boulder Martial Arts Gym since he was a child, and now he had broken through to the knight level and successfully entered the martial arts gym as a coach, which was the time to be in high spirits.
Hearing the old coach say this, he immediately retorted: "Even if he can defeat Young Master Guma, he is just a knight squire, how strong can he be? The hall master has been in the martial arts hall for so many years, and he has seen more geniuses, what is a mere green, I heard that he still came from the countryside, and if I want to see it, it is just those people who blow it out." ”
"Alas. The old coach sighed, "You are still young, and you don't understand how big the gap between real geniuses and us ordinary people is, and that is the gap that can make you feel hopeless." ”
The young coach sneered and said disapprehantly, "I think it's because you're too old, that's why you're so timid, since he's such a genius, how can he still be just a knight squire? There are so many geniuses in the martial arts hall over the years, which one is not happy and sincere to the pavilion owner? Even a strong man like Kuma-sama has praised the pavilion master!"
"Enough. Johnson raised his hand to stop the two arguing, "I'm sure of the challenge, you don't have to worry." If you have time, go and clear the South Bridge area, and some foreign gangs have been reaching into our bowl recently. ”
Johnson commanded in a flat tone, and the two had to nod their heads in response, but his brow was not as sure as he said.
With his hands behind his back, he writhed unconsciously, showing his inner turmoil.
His potential has long been exhausted, so he will be willing to be a curator in the martial arts hall and devote himself to cultivating talents for the Morley family. Although the practice of boxing has not been put down, it is still at the peak. But the other party put on such a big battle, obviously coming towards the Molly family, how could he not be prepared.
Thinking that he had asked for help from the Morlies family but received no response, he couldn't help but feel a little more worried in his heart.
