Chapter 72 The Divine Realm Master, Mr. Gray
William calmly asked, “Uncle Lloyd, do you mean to say that Tristan would keep coming at us?”
Turner nodded. “How could he allow us to live now that he has played his hand? Naturally, he will spare no effort to end our lives, but, as the saying goes, ‘Dead men tell no tales. Only our deaths would cover the truth of his atrocities!”
William snorted coldly and responded, “Tia, you guys should head straight to the airport. Let Uncle Lloyd take the goods and leave. Then, you and Jason should find a hotel to stay in for the long haul, and I will catch up with you guys later.”
She was shocked by his arrangement and blurted, “William, aren’t you coming with us?”
He replied. “Since he’ll pull all the stops to pester us, then I suppose it’s time I meet him head–on.”
Then, he asked Scarlet, “What do you think?”
She merely answered dispassionately, “If he dares to harm Willy, I will kill him.”
William chuckled lightly. “Right. Kill him!”
Tia was shocked. “You want to return and meet Tristan? No, that’s way too dangerous! He has several powerful individuals at his beck and call. There may even be a Divine Realm Master lying in wait.”
Alas, her warnings were all for naught as he resolutely said, “This is the best way. There’s no point in wasting your words. My decision is final. Don’t worry.”
After that, Scarlet and he alighted from the car and walked in the opposite direction. No matter how hard. Tia yelled, he didn’t look back.
Tia stamped her feet anxiously with reddened eyes as William’s silhouette gradually disappeared from her line of sight. “What are we going to do now?”
Unlike her. Turner was calm. “Tia, William is not an ordinary Joc. If he has made this decision, it means he has a considerable degree of confidence in coming out on top. We should listen to him and keep moving forward!”
William and Scarlet quickly returned to the location of the two SUVs. Then, they got into one of the vehicles and headed in the direction that they came from.
At the same time, Tristan was feeling rather antsy as he waited for news of their deaths. In the end, his impatience got the better of him. So, after about twenty minutes of waiting, he called Frank Smith, the poisoner’s phone number. To his shock, the phone was disconnected.
He couldn’t help but frown as a terrible premonition arose within his heart. Why is it turned off at a time like this? He tried calling another person, but he still couldn’t get through!
Tristan’s heart sank. Then, he jerked to his feet and shouted, “Prepare the car! Call Mr. Gray!”
Thomas anxiously asked, “What’s wrong, Master Tristan?”
Tristan shot him a fierce glare and spat, “Something’s wrong! Come with me!”

The Divine Realm Master, Mr. Gray
before a middle–aged man entered the vehicle.

Although one could say that he was a middle–aged man, it was difficult to guess his precise age. He wore white Theparean clothing with a multi–layered sole, and he had long hair. In addition, his facial features were unlike the locals, making it even more challenging to pinpoint his age. However, this wasn’t where the oddities ended, as his arms and fingers were longer than average.
When the man made his appearance, Tristan babbled, “Mr. Gray, my people may have been taken out. Among them were two Qi State masters, Poison Hand and Iron Fist.”
Mr. Gray calmly replied, “The person who can take them out is at least a master who has achieved Qi Emanation or even someone who has achieved Qi Ascension. You did the right thing to call me for help.
Tristan sighed. “I was careless this time. I didn’t expect that Turner would know such skilled martial artists! I truly regret underestimating him!”
“Regret is useless. Drive, demanded Mr. Gray,
The car immediately started on his command. A total of five vehicles followed the direction that William and the others had left in.
At the same time, William’s car was also driving toward them. Scarlet had made herself comfortable in the passenger seat.
“Scarlet, do you have the confidence to deal with a Divine Realm Master if we encounter one later?” William inquired. Tristan might have a Divine Realm Master at his side as he was a prominent figure locally, so they had to cover all their bases.
“If the opponent has not seen my swordsmanship, I have an 80% chance of killing him. Still, if they have experienced it and managed to flee, then my chances drop down to 30%, replied Scarlet succinctly.
He nodded thoughtfully. “If we encounter a Divine Realm Master, I will use my Finger–Flicking technique to distract him. Then, you will launch a surprise attack while we are fighting.”
“No problem.” She nodded.
After ten minutes, a convoy approached them. William had sharp eyes and immediately recognized that these were Tristan’s men. Thus, he drove the car to the center of the road and blocked their path.
The lead car was a large SUV. The driver started honking at them when he saw their car, assuming that William was their ally. Nonetheless, William did not respond, which immediately caused warning bells to ring in the driver’s mind. So, he cautiously switched on his hazard lights and slowly slowed down.
Finally, the convoy stopped about ten meters away from William.
Tristan’s car was second in line, and he looked forward and frowned. “That’s one of ours.”
A person from the car in front walked over quickly and said, “Master Tristan, the car is ours, but the people
are not.”
He sneered. “This person has some nerve! He dares to return after wiping out our men!”
Then, he looked at Mr. Gray and said, “Mr. Gray, I will be in your debt once more.”
Someone opened the car door for Mr. Gray. Then, Mr. Gray exited the car and strode toward William’s

car. Although it was a ten–meter distance, he had closed the distance in just a few steps.
William and Scarlet also emerged from the car from both sides of the doors. As soon as they faced Mr. Gray, William’s heart sank because his guess was right on the money. Tristan genuinely had a Divine Realm Master on his payroll!
Fortunately, this Divine Realm Master seemed to have just managed to break through. So, his cultivation. was only at the early stage of Spirit Cultivation and was also far from stable.
Mr. Gray glanced coldly at the two and calmly questioned, “How should I address you?”
William replied, “Who I am is not important. But you are Tristan’s henchman, yes?”
Mr. Gray smiled slightly. “We’re merely partners of convenience. He provides for me, and I solve problems for him. It’s that simple.”
William asked, “What do you want?”
Mr. Gray calmly answered, “Your cultivations are not weak. So, for safety reasons, I will be disabling your cultivation before allowing Master Tristan to deal with you.”
“Can you do it?” William sneered.
Before he finished speaking, he flicked his fingers, and dozens of finger winds shot toward Mr. Gray, but he didn’t even move. Instead, his Protection Qi trembled slightly as it dissipated William’s finger winds in an
instant.
He shook his head in disappointment and intoned coldly, Finger–Flicking technique? It’s powerful, but unfortunately, it can’t hurt me!”
With that, he suddenly grabbed William. Although the two were at least three meters apart, his actions were so quick that William had no time to react. He made it seem as if there was no distance between. them.
William shouted and attacked with a powerful move called the Heavenly Dragon. Even a Divine Realm Master would have to defend fully against this attack. Yet, Mr. Gray simply transformed his grab into a palm strike in order to counter William’s punch.
Regardless, the instant of the collision between the punch and the palm happened, a sword light flashed faster than lightning in front of Mr. Gray.
Boom!
William was sent flying by the palm strike, and his face turned pale. On the other end, Mr. Gray wasn’t faring any better as his face went white. Scarlet had pierced through his neck with her sword. The sword sliced through his cervical vertebrae as if it was butter. It was precise, ruthless, and fast!
“What a sword!” he gasped through bloody teeth, and this was his last and final sentence. After those words fell from his lips, his body slumped to the ground as blood oozed out of the fatal injury.
Even a Divine Realm Master could not withstand such a strike. Mr. Gray died instantly!
Before Mr. Gray’s body even managed to collapse onto the ground, William had already sneaked into Tristan’s car like a ghost.

To his surprise, Tristan remained unusually calm as he praised, “My friend, you have great skills. Mr. Gray was a Divine Realm Master, yet you were able to kill him just like that. Impressive!”
The people outside the car dared not move because Tristan had not given out his orders. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
William stared at him. “I’m curious. What made you risk ruining your reputation to kill us?”
Tristan sighed. “Humans should not be greedy.”
Then, he pointed at Thomas. This man is Thomas Lloyd, he is the Lloyd Family’s main branch youngest son. He contacted me and said that if I killed Turner and his daughter, I would get over 300 million worth of ore. Then, the Lloyd Family will announce to the outside world that Turner and his daughter died in a cliff accident and fell into the river along with the goods.”
Thomas‘ face turned pale as he trembled and said, “Master Tristan, how could you-
“You b*stard, it’s all your fault!” Tristan suddenly flew into a rage. “Take him out and beat him to death!”
The car door opened, and two burly men dragged the terrified Thomas out and started to beat him up. Thomas had always been slight. Besides, he had lived a pampered life since childhood. So, how could he endure such suffering? He immediately screamed in pain as blows rained down upon his body.
