Zeke clenched his fists. “Judging by what you’ve said, it isn’t the first time the Tomb Sect had asked someone to
take the exam on someone else’s behalf. Hmph! How dare the Tomb Sect taint the integrity of the exam! I will end
them this time around!”
Sole Wolf interjected suddenly, “Zeke, the Tomb Sect seems to have come from Mount Coda as well. Do you think
that the Tomb Sect is related to the Carter clan somehow?”
Zeke answered, “That’s most likely the case. I suspect that the Tomb Sect is merely a puppet under the Carter
clan’s control. We need to investigate this thoroughly!”
Along the journey, the doctor suddenly received a call.
As he hung up, he turned towards Zeke solemnly and relayed, “Great Marshal, I’m afraid that I can’t continue this
journey with you. I just received a call from the hospital saying that one of my patients had a sudden complication. I
need to rush back and deal with it.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtZeke nodded. “Alright. Go ahead. We can handle this ourselves. Give me your house address.”
“Alright.”
The doctor left in a hurry after handing Zeke his address, and Zeke and Sole Wolf quickly arrived at the
destination... A decrepit neighborhood.
The doctor’s family has close ties with the military, yet he still lives in such a ramshackle area.
Zeke could not help but admire the doctor’s righteousness and integrity.
As they stepped inside, they saw a young man throwing fists in the square.
Even though he was drenched in sweat, he did not stop to take a break.
His moves were nimble, and his breathing was steady.
Even though he was practicing some basic moves, he was able to master it completely, to bring out its full
potential.
It took only one look for them to realize that he had shown great promise.
Sole Wolf took out the picture that the doctor had given him and saw that the man in the photo was identical to the
man practicing his martial arts.
Sole Wolf announced, “Zeke, he’s the grandson of the doctor, Jeager Link.”
Zeke nodded in approval. “Yeah. He shows great promise. No wonder the Tomb Sect laid their eyes on him, asking
him to take the exam on their behalf. Let’s go.”
At that moment, an old lady wielding a crutch wobbled towards Jeager.
She almost tripped at the stairs, so it was likely that her vision was impaired.
Jeager only stopped training when he saw the lady, and he headed towards her.
“Grandma, what brings you here?”
The old lady immediately flashed a smile of pride when she heard her grandson’s voice.
“Jeager, you’d trained so much that you’d forgotten to eat again. Come home. I’ve already prepared the meal.”
However, Jeager seemed a little reluctant. “Grandma, please rest here for a little while. I still need to master one of
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthe moves, I’ll return to eat after I do so.”
The lady sighed and caressed Jeager’s hair. “Alright. I’ll wait for you here.”
Afterward, the lady sat down and Jeager started to train once again.
Sole Wolf exclaimed, “This youngster was so engrossed in training that he forgot to eat. It’s a waste of his talent if
he doesn’t take the Martial Artist National Examination!”
Zeke sighed too, “The Tomb Sect almost ruined the future of a promising one. They deserve to die!”
Sole Wolf’s eyes sparkled when he heard Zeke label the youngster as a ‘promising one’ because it meant that
Jeager’s potential was extraordinary.
Zeke stepped towards Jeager with Sole Wolf tagging behind him, and the old lady seemed anxious when she saw
them.
Jeager subconsciously stood before his grandmother to protect her as he hissed, “Who are you? Are you from the
Tomb Sect?”
Zeke shook his head. “No.”
Jeager and the old lady heaved a sigh of relief when they heard his answer.
