<h4>Chapter 2201: Chapter 2201: Easy Target</h4>


    Back when Merrill Caldwell was invaded by that thing from the temple, she barely escaped with her life.


    Julius Reed saved her.


    But there was one thing Julius didn’t know, something only Merrill Caldwell was aware of.


    The reason Merrill Caldwell survived, unlike Old Eight and the others, was crucial.


    She lived because of Julius Reed, her life was spared, but she became Julius Reed’s puppet.


    Should Julius Reed die, she would perish too.


    Merrill Caldwell could sense Julius Reed’s location and subconsciously remained loyal to Julius Reed.


    When she realized this, she was quite pleased.


    However, what followed was Merrill Caldwell’s physique advancing rapidly!


    No longer was she of ordinary mortal constitution but possessed the highly gifted physique of a martial artist.


    All of this was because of Julius Reed.


    Yet Julius Reed simply thought he had saved Merrill Caldwell, nothing more.


    It was that simple.


    "Master, I have been striving diligently, just so that when we meet, I can make you proud," Merrill Caldwell’s eyes welled with tears, her voice choking.


    Behind her was a vast collection of books belonging to the Caldwell Family.


    Once upon a time, Merrill Caldwell could remember everything she read but was not proficient.


    But now, not only did she understand the world’s techniques, she mastered them all, able to use them expertly.


    Those books.


    Let the younger generation of the Caldwell Family have them.


    "Miss, the snowstorm is too fierce, perhaps..." the maids cautiously asked.


    "No matter how fierce the snowstorm, what can it do?" Merrill Caldwell stepped out of the room, treading on the snow.


    It crunched pleasantly underfoot.


    ...


    "Colleagues, haven’t I, Branigan Sinir, been on Boulevard Mountain for many years? But today, the Sinir family has been humiliated! Boldly humiliated!"


    Facing fifty-four n leaders, Branigan Sinir roared angrily, "Today they p my face! Tomorrow, they’ll p yours! My son, my brothers have suffered humiliation on our turf, what say you, Boulevard Mountain, what should we do?"


    "Crush them!"


    A bearded man stepped forward, pointing a finger at the other Boulevard Mountain sect leaders, "This is a p! It’s trampling our dignity! We fifty-five families are an alliance! In the future, we share meals, we share beatings! Our fifty-five families upy most of Boulevard, can we let a brothel owner overturn the heavens?"


    "Indeed! As an alliance, we should advance and retreat together. The Sinir family is our agent, now they’ve assaulted the Sinir family, they’re pping our faces."


    "Advance and retreat together!"


    "Crush them!"


    The fifty-five ns of Boulevard Mountain yelled furiously.


    "Bring out the wine!" Branigan Sinir waved his hand, and behind him, fifty-five jars of wine were immediately brought out.


    They knew, only by banding together is their strength significant.


    The Sinir family, whether in prestige or power, sits at the pinnacle.


    They are the most suitable agent.


    If scattered, they struggle to gain any benefits.


    But united, they are an incredibly formidable force.


    It seemed that Trent Marsh was not far from unifying the world, they awaited Trent Marsh to settle Gonzalez City, Mont, and Demarco Mount, and upon ascending the world stage, to divide Boulevard among them.


    As for the Caldwell Family, suppressed by them for hundreds of years, they have long waited for an opportunity to eliminate the Caldwell Family.


    Today, was a perfect chance to establish their prestige on Boulevard Mountain!


    To show those watching who is the true king!


    "For our future!" Branigan Sinir raised the wine jar, shouted resolutely, and drank it all!


    Crash!


    He smashed the jar!


    Brandishing his sword, he left the hall!


    The other fifty-four did the same, drinking all the wine in the jars and then smashing them!


    Following closely!


    Full of murderous intent!


    Meanwhile.


    At Gills Alliance, Julius Reed, drinking with no thoughts of the Sinir family having the audacity to cause trouble.


    "What do you say, what kind of entity is this Hidden Gate? And how did Granny Xihua suddenly be so formidable?" Julius Reed sat at the table eating peanuts, chatting idly with hispanion.


    "Speaking of which, you killed her husband, and now you’re taking her daughter, if it were me, I’d dream of killing you," Shadow Kims also eating peanuts, joked.


    This was no secret in the circle.


    "Sect Master, they are here!"


    At that moment, a group of people rushed in from outside.


    With imposing momentum.


    Full of murderous intent!


    Downstairs, those listening to songs and drinking all put down their sses.


    This time,pared to before, the lineup was truly fierce.


    The first row, all Great Grandmasters!


    Outside was densely packed.


    Impossible to see clearly how many there were.


    The mere setup was quite intimidating.


    Julius Reed didn’t even turn his head, sipping his drink.


    "Seems like they’re here to cause trouble for you," Shadow Kims said from the side.


    "Or perhaps I’m the one causing trouble for them," Julius Reed remained unmoved, truly the trouble, if any, would be Gills Alliance’s.


    The singing in the tavern stopped, as did the music.


    Everyone was drawn to those at the entrance.


    "Boulevard Mountain Sinir family, Branigan Sinir!"


    "A visiting call!"


    Branigan Sinir shouted, his voice causing pain to those with lower cultivation.


    "Get lost!"


    From upstairs, only this sound was transmitted.


    "Today, I’m not alone. Apanying me are the fifty-four divisions of Boulevard! What, Gills Alliance, will you disrespect Boulevard martial artists on Boulevard Mountain territory?"


    Branigan Sinir frowned slightly.


    Truly stubborn!


    He brought people, yet none came down to apologize?


    Their arrogance knows no bounds!


    "I’ll say it again, get lost!"


    Elwood Thorneycroft’s voice came from above.


    "Insolence!" the bearded martial artist stepped forward, shouting, "Smash!"


    As soon as his words fell!


    A burly man appeared before him.


    He was overwhelming!


    His muscles were terrifying.


    "You..." the bearded man eximed.


    This man’s speed was too fast, he was entirely unresponsive.


    "Mrs. Leopold tells you, get lost!"


    Boom!


    Pruitt Wilde swung a punch!


    The bearded martial artist flew out, crashing into a crowd!


    Thud!


    He fell to the ground, mouth full of blood, trembling as he raised his hand, pointing at Pruitt Wilde, "You..."


    Thud!


    Without finishing his words, died with eyes unclosed.


    "This..."


    All who came along backed down.


    Too formidable.


    No match!


    Branigan Sinir’s forehead was sweating profusely.


    "Mrs. Leopold. My apologies, for the offense! My people acted without discipline, I won’t pursue it, but some killed my men, an ounting is needed!"


    Branigan Sinir decided to pick the easier target, returning empty-handed was too disgraceful.


    "Fine, I’m not concerned. But if you damaged things here, you mustpensate," Pruitt Wilde pointed at Branigan Sinir, turned, and headed upstairs.


    "Can’t handle Gills Alliance, but I can handle you?" Branigan Sinir directed all his fury at Julius Reed, "Attack!"


    "Go!" A group seized the opportunity.


    Perfect time to vent.


    "Miss Caldwell arrives!"


    Suddenly.


    A cry came from outside.
