Chapter 8
- David Bishop brought the young girl home and went to see his mother Zara Martin.
- Zara Martin was slightly shocked when she noticed that her son had brought a young girl home.
- Although the young girl’s clothes were plain and simple, they could not conceal her natural beauty. With just a glance, Zara Martin had a good impression of this beautiful young girl.
- “This is my mom,” David Bishop introduced Zara Martin to the young girl.
- “I’m Bella Johnson, nice to meet you Madam.”
- The young girl seemed ill at ease when she met Zara Martin; her beautiful face flushed, making her look even cuter.
- “David, what’s this all about?”
- Zara Martin glanced at David Bishop with a faint smile.
- She didn’t expect that her son would return with a beautiful young girl after only going on a short outing.
- “Mom, it’s like this...” David Bishop told his mother the story of how he met the young girl, Bella Johnson, and he did not conceal any information as he even included the part where he taught the Marsh Family’s Lord a lesson.
- “Is that the same Mitchell Marsh who is infamous throughout Fresh Breeze Town? It doesn’t matter if you beat him up. Even if the Marsh Family comes here and tries to cause trouble, we are in the right.”
- Zara Martin displayed an expression of indifference and nodded. In the next moment, her gentle gaze full of motherly love slowly descended upon the young girl.
- “Bella Johnson, since you have no one left, you can stay with us. As it happens, the servant girl of my courtyard went back to her village yesterday to get married. You can stay in her room.”
- Zara Martin looked tenderly at the young girl.
- “Thank you Madam.”
- Bella Johnson hurriedly expressed her thanks as her rosy face flashed a brief expression of excitement.
- “Come, I’ll take you to get changed.”
- Zara Martin took hold of the young girl’s hands and went into her bedroom, leaving a stunned and astounded David Bishop standing still.
- When the young girl followed Zara Martin out once again, she had changed into bright and new clothes, and Zara Martin even helped her put on a little bit of makeup.
- Her long jet black hair was now tied up, and her elegant face emitted a charming bright-red glow that made her seem like a lotus that had just bloomed.
- Her eyebrows were shaped like willow leaves, and eyes were shaped like apricots. Her fine nose and red lips... all seemed perfect.
- Her slightly expanding chest was like a budding flower; it seemed as if it would burst forth and blossom at any moment.
- She had a slender waist that could be embraced with a single arm; round and mellow buttocks; and long and slender legs. Her features made her appear fair, slim, graceful and likeable.
- “Like the meaning of her name, she is indeed a likeable and cute girl.”
- Standing to the side, Zara Martin praised while looking at the young girl.
- “Bella Johnson, these clothes were mine when I was younger. They are yours from now on.”
- Looking at the entranced David Bishop, Zara Martin joked, “Look, I only helped you put on a little bit of makeup, and someone is already staring blankly, wishing he could eat you up!”
- His mother’s words cause David Bishop give an embarrassed smile, withdrawing his gaze from the young girl.
- The young girls elegant appearance after putting on some make up did indeed enchant him.
- As the King of Mercenaries from his previous life, he never had a lack of women by his side. Although those women were beautiful, they lacked elegance and refinement.
- On this point, they could not even be compared against Bella Johnson!
- “Madam, I’m just a servant girl... It’s not proper for me to wear such clothes.”
- Zara Martin’s words caused the young girl’s face to become so red that it seemed as if blood might drip out. She was overwhelmed by the unexpected favor of Zara Martin.
- Smilingly, Zara Martin teased again, “Who told you that you’re a servant girl? Even if I wanted to make you my servant girl, I’m afraid somebody won’t even let me...”
- David Bishop was speechless. Since the beginning, he had not uttered a single word, yet he still took a bullet!
- Hearing Zara Martin, the young girl’s face became even more red.
- Although Zara Martin and David Bishop didn’t consider Bella Johnson to be a servant girl, the intelligent and sensible Bella Johnson still took on the responsibility of all the chores.
- As far as she was concerned, David and Madam were kind enough to allow her to stay. If she didn’t do anything to repay them, her heart wouldn’t be at ease.
- The kind, sensible, and intelligent Bella Johnson quickly obtained the acknowledgment of Zara Martin and David Bishop and quickly blended in into the small family.
- Marsh Family estate.
- In a medium sized courtyard, middle aged man restlessly walked about, occasionally glancing at the nearby bedroom.
- Suddenly, the bedroom door opened, and an old man emerged from within.
- “Master, how’s the condition of my son?”
- The middle aged man hurriedly greeted the old man.
- “Manager Marshrsh, the person who did this was extremely merciless and almost completely shattered your son’s spine... Even after consuming a Grade Nine Gold Injury Pill, there were no signs of recovery. I am unable to do anything; you have my condolences.”
- The old man sighed while shaking his head.
- “What?!”
- The middle aged man’s faced distorted.
- Even the Grade Nine Alchemist that their Marsh Family paid a hefty to sum to invite was unable to do anything. Did that mean his son would be crippled permanently and be stuck lying on a bed for the rest of his life?
- “Shawn Marsh!”
- Right at this moment, a dignified middle aged man walked in and passed an exquisite box to the Marsh Family manager, Shawn Marsh.
- “This is a Grade Eight Gold Injury Pill, quickly let your son consume it.”
- “Patriarch!”
- Shawn Marsh stared blankly.
- Although he wanted to beg the Patriarch for the Grade Eight Gold Injury Pill, when he thought about how the Marsh Family only had one Grade Eight Gold Injury Pill, he could only give up on the idea because he did not believe he would be able to obtain the pill with his status as the Marsh Family manager.
- When he saw the Patriarch delivering the Grade Eight Gold Injury Pill to him, he couldn’t help himself from getting excited.
- “Shawn Marsh, if it wasn’t for my unfilial son causing trouble, your son wouldn’t have been injured. I apologize for this incident... As for that unfilial son, I will surely severely punish him and give you a satisfying explanation,” Patriarch Dane Marsh said with an expression of shame and regret.
- “Patriarch!”
- Shawn Marsh was so agitated that he knelt down; the sliver of displeasure in his heart disappeared completely.
- “Get up and quickly give the medicinal pill to your son,” Dane Marsh said.
- Shawn Marsh stood up and began to extend his hands out to receive the Grade Eight Gold Injury Pill from Dane Marsh.
- “Manager Marshrsh, if I were to be straightforward... Let alone a Grade Eight Gold Injury Pill, even a Grade Seven Gold Injury Pill would be unable to heal your son’s injuries!” the old man standing to the side abruptly said.
- “Unless you have a Bone Formation Pill... But Bone Formation Pills are extinct.”
- Shawn Marsh’s extended hand stiffened, and the rekindled hope in his heart was mercilessly shattered again.
- “Nevertheless, let him consume it and try his luck,” Dane Marsh said.
- “Patriarch, it’s not necessary. I believe Master. There’s no point in wasting this precious medicinal pill on my son.”
- Shawn Marsh shook his head.
- “What I want to do the most know is to find out who crippled my son and seek revenge!”
- Taking a deep breath, Shawn Marsh’s eyes emitted a cold light of hatred.
- “Manager Marshrsh, you can be assured that the entire Marsh Family will spare no efforts in finding the assailant!” said Dane Marsh in a resolute voice.
- “Thank you Patriarch.”
- Martin Family estate.
- A piece of shocking news spread among the Martin Family members like lightning.
- Next month, Martin Family’s genius martial artist Leo Martin would fight a battle against Ninth Elder’s son David Bishop!
- Allegedly, for the sake of this battle, Seventh Elder even went to request the Patriarch and Grand Elder to be the witnesses to the battle.
- This news caused quite a large sensation in the Martin Family.
- “The moment Sam Martin’s arm was crippled by David Bishop, I knew that Seventh Elder and Leo Martin wouldn’t be willing to let go. Who could have known that they would take action so swiftly!”
- “He he... A fourth level of Body Tempering Stage martial artist challenging a first level of Body Tempering Stage martial artist. For the sake of his brother, Leo Martin is really going all out and throwing away all his pride!”
- “I wonder what David Bishop was thinking. To actually agree to Leo Martin’s challenge... It couldn’t be that his brain got fried when he was beaten up by Sam Martin before, right?”
- “Leo Martin will show no mercy in this battle, and even if he can’t kill David Bishop, he will definitely cripple him!”
- ......
- No one had high hopes for David Bishop.
- One was the famous genius martial artist of the Martin Family with boundless potential, who stepped into the fourth level of Body Tempering stage at the age of sixteen.
- The other was an obscure disciple with another surname who had only recently completed body tempering and become a first level of Body Tempering Stage martial artist.
- Although relying upon the strange and formidable Collapsing Fist allowed him to defeat Sam Martin at the second level of Body Tempering Stage, no one would consider that he would able to defeat Leo Martin even then.
- Although Leo Martin and Sam Martin were siblings, their strength was not on the same level at all.
- While the whole Martin Family was stirred up about the upcoming battle, the person concerned with the whole matter seemed to have vanished.
- “Done!”
- Looking at the ring on the middle finger of his right hand, David Bishop had a smile on his face.
- Relying on Rebirth Martial Emperor’s thorough comprehension of the inscription technique, he succeeded in inscribing the ring on his first try.
- “Leo Martin, when the day comes, I’ll give you a pleasant surprise.”
- The corner of David Bishop’s mouth curled up, forming an evil smile.
- “Lord, the water is ready.”
- Behind the bedroom screen, the young girl gracefully walked out as she has finished changing the water in the bath barrel for David Bishop.
- “Bella Johnson, you must be tired. Go get some rest.”
- David Bishop walked over, extended his hand, and used his sleeve to help wipe the sweat off the young girl’s forehead.
- The entire process was extremely gentle.
- “Bella Johnson, let me do this kind of hard labor from now on,” David Bishop said with an expression of pity.
- “Lord, it’s alright. After bathing with the medicinal liquid you gave me, Bella Johnson is very strong...”
- The young girl shook her little arms, and a touched smile appeared on her flushed face.
- “Seems like our Bella Johnson is going to complete her body tempering and become a martial artist as soon as she starts cultivating a cultivation method.
- David Bishop lightly kneaded the young girl’s little arms and smiled.
- “Lord, Bella Johnson knows you treat me very well, but Bella Johnson also knows that families such as the Martin Family have their own set of rules. Cultivation methods are not permitted to be casually passed on to others... Bella Johnson is happy as long as Bella Johnson is able to accompany you and Madam. It doesn’t matter if Bella Johnson can become a martial artist or not,” Bella Johnson sensibly said.
- “Silly girl, if I wanted to pass a cultivation method to you, naturally it would not be one from the Martin Family. Ok, you go and have a rest, I’ll come look for you in your room later this evening... Eh, Bella Johnson why did your face suddenly turn so red; are you ok?”
- David Bishop shook his head and lightly smiled.
- “Lord, you’re so evil, bullying Bella Johnson...”
- After being made fun of by David Bishop, the young girl fled, leaving a laughing David Bishop.
