Chapter 432 Larry Gets Caught
The Powell family is one of the Four Ancient Families, tracing its origins back to Victor Veil a thousand years ago. Their ancestors served Victor Veil.
The Powell family has always been known for their combat skills, but not everyone in the family is gifted in martial arts. Alistair is a prime example of this. Despite being a member of the Powell family, Alistair lacked the talent for martial arts.
Over the years, the Powell family has been searching worldwide for orphans to train from a young age. But then, the Four Currents rose to prominence, becoming grandmasters of martial practices. They are all Level 3 powerhouses.
Following orders from the family head, Logan led The Four Currents to capture Larry.
Aurora Citadel, military district.
Larry had just taken a nap. Upon waking, he checked his phone for news. Alistair's death was trending, with numerous discussions online, reaching peak popularity. After glancing at his phone, Larry got dressed and headed out.
"Dragon King."
As he walked, soldiers in the military district greeted him with respect. Larry nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
Just as Larry stepped out of the military district gate, a black business car appeared in front of him. The car door opened, and an elderly man stepped out. He was accompanied by four individuals, three men and one woman, all around forty years old.
"Powell family members?"
Seeing the elderly man, Larry's face darkened, feeling a sense of foreboding. He knew that killing Alistair had angered the Powell family, and they were here for revenge. And when the Powell family seeks revenge, no one can intervene. Not even a king can stop the Powell family.
"Larry..."
Logan's old face was stern as he spoke coldly, "I warned you, killing someone from the Powell family would come at a heavy price."
Facing Logan, Larry showed no fear and replied firmly, "I was enforcing the law. You obstructed my duty, which is a crime. I didn't bring soldiers to arrest you out of respect for your family. So, what are you here for now?"
Logan laughed maniacally, as if he had heard the funniest joke ever. He then raised his cane and pointed it at Larry, speaking coldly, "Do you still not realize who you've offended?"
"What, you want revenge?" Larry said with a stern face. "This is a military district, with troops stationed inside. I don't believe you can do anything to me here."
"Seize him," Logan ordered.
The four individuals stepped forward simultaneously. This was The Four Currents.
The woman stepped forward and said, "Leave this kid to me. No need for you all to intervene."
The woman looked young, with shoulder-length short hair, wearing tight leather pants and armor, with a good figure. She looked at Larry with a playful smile, "Larry, I've heard of you. Despite being outside, without guidance, you managed to cultivate Qi. Your talent is indeed remarkable. But you shouldn't have gone to the Powell family and killed Alistair. Even though he held a low position in the family, he was still one of us."
Larry clenched his fists, staring intently at the playful woman. In an instant, the woman took a step forward. She moved incredibly fast, appearing in front of Larry in a single step. Before Larry could react, she struck his chest with a palm, sending him flying a great distance, crashing to the ground, and spitting out blood.
Larry's attack drew the attention of the military.
Immediately, several fully armed soldiers rushed out, raising their weapons at Logan and his group.
"Hold your fire! These are Powell family members," a one-star general recognized Logan and issued the order.
He knew the Powell family, aware that these families were above the law.
Larry struggled to get up, feeling a sense of shock. He hadn't expected this seemingly ordinary woman to be so powerful.
This woman was Rain from The Four Currents.
Rain looked at Larry playfully and praised, "Not bad, taking a hit from me and still standing. But that was only thirty percent of my strength. Next, I'll use fifty percent. Let's see if you can handle it."
She raised her delicate hand and struck again.
Larry clenched his fists and charged forward. A fist and a palm collided.
Larry felt a terrifying force sweep through him. The force traveled through his fist into his body, making his arm numb and causing his blood to churn. His throat heated up, and he spat out blood again. He flew back, crashing to the ground.
This time, he didn't get up.
The nearby soldiers watched in shock, not daring to intervene.
Logan smiled faintly and said, "Ignorant fool. Take him away."
A man walked over, grabbed the severely injured Larry, and threw him into the trunk under the watchful eyes of the soldiers. Then they drove away.
The soldiers at the gate looked at each other.
"General, what do we do now?"
"What else can we do? Report it and see what the higher-ups decide."
"Yes, sir."
Larry had taken a palm strike from Rain. But he was severely injured, his blood churning, and he passed out.
When he woke up, he was in a dark, damp place. He tried to get up and see where he was, but the pain in his body made him scream.
Footsteps approached.
Larry looked up slightly. He saw an elderly man outside the iron cell. It was Logan.
Logan stood in front of the cell and asked coldly, "Larry, if you don't want to suffer, answer my questions."
Larry's face showed pain, but he remained silent.
Logan asked, "You've never returned to the Bennett family. Where did you learn to cultivate Qi?"
Logan was concerned about how Larry had cultivated Qi. He wanted to know if someone from the Bennett family had secretly taught him. If so, it meant the Bennett family had been planning for a long time.
"Bastard," Larry cursed. "You'd better keep me locked up forever. If I get out, I'll use the Execution Sword to cut you down."
"Still stubborn at death's door."
Logan snorted coldly, pointing his finger, releasing an invisible force that struck Larry, making him bounce off the ground and crash back down, screaming in pain.
Logan didn't press Larry further and turned to leave.
At the Powell family headquarters, in a courtyard.
An elderly man was practicing a horse stance.
Logan approached and called out, "Amos, Larry didn't say anything."
Amos continued his stance, looking ahead, and asked softly, "Has the message been sent?"
"I've notified the Bennett family. I told them if they don't come to the Powell family to take him by nightfall, we'll kill him."
"Good." Amos nodded slightly.
"Now we wait for the Bennett family's response. Hopefully, this isn't the Bennett family stirring things up. Hopefully, the Cabinet Room isn't a force cultivated by the Bennett family. Otherwise, the Bennett family is determined to oppose the other three families."
