The Luckiest Dumb Doctor

Chapter 417: Chapter 417 – Ascending the Stage_1

At this moment, silence reigned.

A young figure, under the watchful eyes of the crowd and like a victorious general returning from battle, exuded an aura of sharpness as he climbed the steps with his hands clasped behind his back.

Then, as leisurely as a stroll in a courtyard, he ascended with measured steps.

In an instant, all was still!

Surprise, curiosity, shock, fear, disdain… a mix of emotions swirled in the thousands of gazes that fell upon him.

Every step struck at the hearts of the onlookers, sending tremors through their spirits, and with each step, his momentum climbed higher and higher.

If the him below the stage was a treasure sword hidden in its scabbard, then the him who stood on the platform was like a deadly sword that had taken countless lives, unhesitatingly displaying its sharpness for the world to see.

Brows sharp as knives and eyes flashing like lightning, he slowly swept his gaze across the arena.

The crowd felt as if a sword light was piercing directly towards them, unstoppable and unavoidable.

Below the stage, people instinctively shrunk back, but in doing so, some accidentally stepped on others’ feet or bumped into others’ chests.

In no time, a commotion ensued!

After a brief pause, everyone quieted down again and looked intently, only to see that the man appeared as harmless as the big boy next door, with a smile on his face that left no one on guard.

“The charming Magician, it’s the charming Magician Barry Wolfe!”

“He actually came, does he really think he can beat the old Grandmaster?”

“Even if he can’t win, he might at least fight to a draw.”

“What are you thinking? How is that possible? One has been honing his skills in the Master Realm for over a decade, while the other, all his martial arts training combined, wouldn’t add up to more than twenty years.

Even if Barry Wolfe is a genius, he’s only in his twenties, let alone beating the old Grandmaster, he can’t possibly hope to fight to a draw.”

After a brief silence, murmurs began to rise all around.

Glen Wolfe, seeing Greg Jensen, was on the verge of tears with joy.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

He had finally arrived, the Wolfe family might be saved!

Before this, he had hoped that with Barry Wolfe, the Wolfe family would rise to the ranks of the top families.

But now, all he wished for was for the Wolfe family to overcome this crisis.

Of course, this was a deliberate act by Greg Jensen; the insatiable human heart sometimes needs to be restrained, and sometimes a blow to one’s expectations from their subordinates is not a bad thing.

Below the stage.

Louisa Burley had not paid attention to the situation on stage, as her mind was still replaying her recent conversation with Greg Jensen.

Vivian Shimpson, like a little fan, waved her arms excitedly and said, “Louisa, look, that’s the charming Magician, he really is handsome.”

Louisa Burley, prompted by her good sister, looked up to see the charming Magician and suddenly froze, murmuring,

“Huh, his figure looks so familiar, like someone I’ve seen before.”

“Familiar? Really?”

Now it was Valeria Shimpson who paused, caught off guard, her thoughts inexplicably turning to Greg Jensen’s words.

Could it be possible that I am the charming Magician?

“No way, how could that be?” Valeria Shimpson said skeptically.

Louisa Burley asked curiously, “What’s impossible?”

Valeria Shimpson replied subconsciously, “It can’t be Greg Jensen.”

Louisa Burley’s eyes widened, “Do you also think he looks like Greg?”

“Uh…”

Valeria Shimpson felt awkward and, shifting the conversation, said, “Their faces aren’t the same, it can’t be Greg.”

Louisa Burley smiled sweetly, dreamily gazing at the figure, murmuring,

“That’s my Greg, but… how did he suddenly turn into this?”

The brows shaped like willow leaves converged, then relaxed, as she said with a laugh, “It doesn’t matter anyway, Greg is the strongest.”

Louisa Burley’s smile suddenly froze on her face as a silhouette of a young boy appeared before her eyes.

“So many years have passed; he must have grown up by now, right? His master is so powerful, he is probably even stronger than Greg, isn’t he?”

Thinking this, Louisa Burley’s mood suddenly fell, and with a helpless sigh, she watched the stage with a face full of sorrow.

On the stage.

Nathan Green watched Greg Jensen with an expressionless face. After a long silence, he let out a sneer and said,

“Ha, you’re Barry Wolfe? I heard you wanted to challenge me and destroy the Green family, elevating the Wolfe family to the pinnacle of power?

You’re not old, yet you’re incredibly bold!”

He sized up Greg Jensen, shook his head, and said, “Indeed, you entered the Innate and became a Grandmaster at such a young age—a sign of good talent. You do have a right to be arrogant.

But don’t you know that what this world has in plenty are geniuses who die young?

Many young people with exceptional gifts have perished prematurely because of their pride and arrogance. What makes you think you’re any different?”

Greg Jensen scoffed, “To you, an Innate Grandmaster is the limit, what achievements I have beyond that is none of your concern, is it?”

“You…”

Nathan Green’s complexion suddenly darkened. He had struggled for more than a decade without making any progress, a matter of great regret in his life, and now Barry Wolfe was mocking him for it—it was intolerable!

His eyes seemed to be spitting fire, and he was on the verge of fury as he coldly said, “Do you want to die?”

“At your age, don’t you understand that wasting time is wasting life? Make it quick, I have other matters to tend to soon.”

Greg Jensen waved his hand impatiently.

That indifferent demeanor made Nathan Green feel scorned. He could no longer restrain the fury in his heart, let out a cold snort, and disappeared from where he stood.

Moments later, he materialized not far in front of Greg Jensen and, with a palm shaped like a blade, unleashed a Splitting Mountain with Strength strike at Greg Jensen’s forehead.

Translucent True Qi took the form of a blade, traversing the distance of five to six meters, and slashed towards Greg Jensen.

Hum!

The sound of cutting through the air erupted suddenly, and the True Qi blade ripped across the sky, emitting a soul-shaking hum.

Dead silence fell over the arena!

Everyone was stunned by Nathan Green’s sudden attack.

“This is the prowess of a Grandmaster. Despite being tens of meters apart, he can still take a life in the blink of an eye.”

“Barry Wolfe is as good as dead!”

“This is the fate of those who offend a Grandmaster.”

No one had faith in Greg Jensen. Even though he had become famous overnight as a charming Magician, still, nobody gave him a chance.

Including Glen Wolfe, who was sweating for him.

To outsiders, it didn’t matter, but he was betting everything he had. If Barry Wolfe lost, the Wolfe family would not fare well either.

Though he knew the extent of Barry Wolfe’s abilities, and although the wager was worth it, being the Family Head of the Wolfe family, Glen Wolfe was still extremely nervous as the moment of truth approached.

Compared to Glen Wolfe’s nervousness, Louisa Burley and Vivian Shimpson’s hearts were in their throats.

The difference was that Vivian Shimpson was worried about the charming Magician Barry Wolfe, while Louisa Burley was concerned for Greg, her big brother.

Apart from them, most of the crowd was just watching the spectacle, while the heads of the Wang, He, and Chen families couldn’t wait for Barry Wolfe to die.

If Barry Wolfe died, the Wolfe family would lose its backbone. Not only would they fail to ascend to the top echelon, but they would also face repression from the Green family.

At that point, they could take the opportunity to divide the Wolfe family’s assets.

In their view, Barry Wolfe, in his twenties, couldn’t possibly be a match for Nathan Green, so the Wolfe family’s demise was imminent.

More importantly, from their perspective, Nathan Green’s palm strike was utterly unavoidable.

Barry Wolfe was doomed!
