Chapter 12 - 12

One thousand silver each time!

Three times would be three thousand silver!

Although David Bishop knew that alchemists were rich, he didn't expect them to be this rich.

The Grand Elder of the Martin Family was only a Grade Nine Alchemist, but paying three thousand silver did not even cause him to blink an eye.

"Mother is a Martin Family elder, but I only get not more than twenty silver coins per month. This difference is really too much."

Zara Martin sighed in her heart.

When they saw David Bishop receive one thousand silver, the Martin Family higher ups were all dumbstruck.

Especially Kun Martin, who was waiting to ridicule David Bishop. The cold smile on the corner of his mouth had stiffened….

The scene in front of him felt like a dream.

"David Bishop only gave the Grand Elder a massage for a while and he received one thousand silver?"

"Grand Elder, I can massage you too; my wife even praises me for my skills in giving massages. Why don't I give you a massage for two hours and then you can give me a thousand silver too."

Sixth Elder Peter Martin's eyes were shining brightly; it was as if he had found a new road to riches. He was staring intently at Grand Elder Hank Martin.

Hank Martin made a light humph sound, completely ignoring Peter Martin.

Then he looked towards David Bishop.

"Kid, where did you learn such a miraculous massaging technique? I feel as if the hidden injuries that I have accumulated over the years have started to be suppressed. With another two more massage sessions later on, the pain will certainly be fully removed."

Hank Martin asked curiously.

"Grand Elder, I stumbled upon the technique in a medical book."

David Bishop faintly smiled.

Hank Martin glanced deeply at David Bishop.

He naturally would not believe David Bishop's lies, but he did not continue asking.

It was obvious from David Bishop's attitude that he wasn't willing to say.

"Hidden injuries?"

The Martin Family higher ups were flabbergasted.

They remembered that before David Bishop gave Grand Elder the massage, he mentioned hidden injuries.

They were curious as to how did David Bishop found out that Grand Elder had hidden injuries.

More importantly, he was capable of a massage technique that could cure the Grand Elder's hidden injuries.

Zara Martin glanced at her son. The doubt in her eyes had grown deeper.

The young girl beside Zara Martin, however, looked at David Bishop in adoration. She was not the least bit shocked at David Bishop's ability.

In her heart, Lord was omnipotent.

"Seventh Elder, can I bet with you now?"

David Bishop looked at Kun Martin.

"David Bishop, if you want to gift money to me, I will naturally not decline."

Kun Martin's eyes narrowed and he made a low humph sound.

"Good."

David Bishop nodded, then he passed half of the silver bills in his hand to the Patriarch Zayn Martin.

"Patriarch, this is the wager between Seventh Elder and I. Please safe keep it and bear witness for us."

Zayn Martin received the five hundred silver with a complicated expression and nodded.

"Patriarch, here is the wager for the bet between Sixth Elder and I."

At this moment, Fifth Elder Liam Martin took out five hundred silver and passed it to Zayn Martin.

"Patriarch, here is the wager for Sixth Elder and I."

Kun Martin took out one thousand silver.

"Let's begin."

After Zayn Martin received the silver bills, he put them away and then looked towards David Bishop

After giving the remaining five hundred silver to his mother, David Bishop nodded his head and walked into the Martial Arts Practice Hall to confront the waiting Leo Martin.

The Martin Family disciples surrounding the Martial Arts Practice Hall were looking at them intently.

It was finally going to begin!

"David Bishop, it took you a long time to get here. You aren't afraid, are you?"

Leo Martin laughed coldly.

"Afraid? You think too highly of yourself. Leo Martin, you better give today's match your all….If you lose, your family is going to go bankrupt!"

David Bishop smiled faintly.

"What are you trying to say?"

Leo Martin's face fell. He wasn't aware of the betting that had taken place on the platform.

"You will find out after today."

The smile on David Bishop's face became even more prominent, but in Leo Martin's eyes it looked extremely unpleasant.

Leo Martin's face turned grim and the muscles in his body started bulging, causing his clothes to stretch.

In an instant, Leo Martin stomped his feet on the ground and ran swiftly towards David Bishop.

His speed was extremely fast, like that of a cheetah running at full speed….

"David Bishop, I will make you pay tenfold for crippling the arm of my little brother!"

Leo Martin swiftly rushed in front of David Bishop, shouting loudly.

His hands opened up, forming two palms, and he executed the Master Stage middle grade Yellow Rank martial skill, Falling Leaf Palm. His hands came violently slapping towards David Bishop.

Falling Leaf Palm!

"Seventh Elder, Leo Martin is able to achieve mastery of the Falling Leaf Palm at only the fourth level of the Body Tempering stage. His innate talent is really good!"

"I cultivated Falling Leaf Palm when I was young as well and only achieved mastery when I was at the seventh level of the Body Tempering stage. In this aspect, I am inferior to Leo Martin. Seventh Elder has such good fortune."

"Yes, Seventh Elder has such a good son; it really makes me admire him."

...

On the platform, as he heard the praise of the other elders, Kun Martin smiled faintly. He was slightly smug.

"Eh, what martial skill is David Bishop executing?"

Patriarch Zayn Martin's voice suddenly sounded.

Everyone's gaze instantly focused on David Bishop.

They saw that David Bishop had taken the horse stance and his body was slightly inclined forward. His body resembled a strong, heavy bow; it seemed like he was immovable like a mountain.

Just at this very moment, when Leo Martin's Falling Leaf Palm was descending towards him with a roaring sound, he finally moved….

Silent as a virgin, moving like a mad rabbit!

This sentence perfectly described the current David Bishop.

When facing Leo Martin's Falling Leaf Palm, David Bishop was not one bit scared; he moved to meet the attack head on.

Hi lifted up his right fist and swung it as if here were launching a cannonball towards Leo Martin's palm strike.

Clap!

After the palm and fist struck each other, Leo Martin's body slightly trembled, but he stood his ground.

David Bishop on the other hand was forced a few steps back, his face slightly red.

"David!"

Seeing David Bishop being forced backwards, Zara Martin had an expression of worry.

The young girl behind her nervously clenched her fists as well.

Whereas Kun Martin had a complacent expression.

In his opinion, a fourth level Body Tempering martial artist going against a third level Body Tempering martial artist was a one-sided battle without any suspense.

"Fifth Elder, thank you for your five hundred silver."

Sixth Elder Peter Martin complacently said to Liam Martin.

It was as if Fifth Elder's five hundred silver had already entered his pocket.

"As expected of a fourth level Body Tempering martial artist; my strength is still lower if I fight him head on."

In the arena, David Bishop's heart jerked.

"Maybe…."

Glancing at the ring on his hand, the corners of David Bishop's mouth curled up into a smile. This was his secret weapon.

"David Bishop, I really didn't think that you'd be able to break through to the third level of the Body Tempering stage. But even so, it is impossible for you to be my opponent. Today I will take revenge for my little Novad completely cripple you….I will make you have to stay on a bed for the rest of your life! You will live your life in unending pain and despair until you die!"

Leo Martin said in a condescending manner.

David Bishop's expression turned grim and cold light flashed in his eyes. He didn't know that Leo Martin was so merciless and cruel.

The other time when Sam Martin provoked him, he showed mercy by only crippling one of his arms.

Or else Sam Martin would've ended up the same as Mitchell Marsh's lackey.

Today, although Leo Martin's strength was greater than his, he was absolutely confident that he could win if he relied on the inscription on his ring.

Originally, as they both were Martin Family disciples, he was only planning to cripple one of his arms as punishment….

But now that punishment seemed too lenient.

"Make me lie on a bed and live the rest of my life in pain and despair? Leo Martin, you must remember what you just said. Please don't regret it."

David Bishop stared at Leo Martin and abruptly laughed.

"Regret? I, Leo Martin, have never known regret!"

Leo Martin laughed coldly and stomped his legs with a disdainful expression on his face He seemed as if he had transformed into a fierce tiger as he dove towards David Bishop.

The Master Stage Falling Leaf Palm slapped down towards David Bishop once again.

David Bishop moved forward a step, then his upper body inclined backwards and once again bent into the shape of a bow.

His right shoulder pressed backwards, causing his body to tremble, then his right fist swung out straight forward. Strength seeped out from his entire body as he moved to intercept Leo Martin's Falling Leaf Palm….

Cannon Fist!

One of the Five Elemental Fists of Form and Will BoHarry. Like a cannon but not a cannon; once this punch is used, it has the force to topple mountains and overturn seas.

"Clap!"

The fist and palm struck each other again!

David Bishop's heart slightly jerked. The power inside the inscription on his ring burst forth, entering Leo Martin's body….

Instantly, Leo Martin looked like he had just been struck by lightning; his body was trembling, his face was extremely distorted, and his eyes emitted an expression of extreme fear.

It was as if he had been met with some horrible thing.

Bang!

When Leo Martin's body started trembling, the force behind Falling Leaf Palm dispersed, then David Bishop's Cannon Fist struck out.

Ka!

Leo Martin's arm bone broke from the force!

The sharp sound of the bone breaking accompanied by Leo Martin's shrill scream entered the ears of everyone present.

Everyone felt a chill run down their spine.

Just when everyone was wondering how Leo Martin, who had the upper hand, was now being trampled on by David Bishop.

David Bishop moved forward, catching up to Leo Martin, who was falling backwards. He kicked Leo Martin, causing him to fly upwards for more than three meters.

In the next moment, David Bishop, who was still standing on the same spot, bent his legs and abruptly squatted!

Leo Martin, who had been kicked up into the sky, had a ghastly pale face and was dripping in cold sweat.

When his body started to fall downwards, he turned his head and noticed David Bishop's actions. He instantly understood what David Bishop was planning to do.

"Dad, save me!!"

Leo Martin felt a bone-piercing chill in his heart, so he shouted in fear.

Because he was unable to move freely in the air, he had no means to use his fourth level Body Tempering stage strength.

David Bishop's legs straightened in the blink of an eye and then, like a cannon ball blasted up into the sky, he flew towards the rapidly falling Leo Martin….

"No!!"

Hearing his son's scream of despair, Kun Martin finally reacted. Shouting loudly, he left his seat and flew down towards the arena.

He wanted to save his son.

Zara Martin was worried that her son would be treated unfairly, so she followed after him and flew down towards the arena.
