Chapter 152:125 Reward Settlement, Fusion Skill_3
“Wouldn’t it have been easier if we had reached this point earlier? We’ve wasted three days! Handcuff him!”
At George Holt’s command, his men approached with handcuffs in hand.
Dean McKenzie brow furrowed, “What are you doing? Didn’t we agree that I was merely cooperating with the investigation? I’m not your criminal, you have no right to do this to me. This is against the regulations…”
“Do we need your permission?”
George Holt snatched the handcuffs from his subordinate and shackled Dean McKenzie’s hands directly, “Do we need you to tell us the rules of the Mirror Stand?
Who do you think you are?
Aren’t you just a sewer cleaner?
Take him away!”
At George Holt’s harsh command, his subordinates immediately took Dean McKenzie on a detour around the Medical Center.
Then, struttingly, they left Spring City with Dean McKenzie.
The swaggering momentum could even irritate Anson Harris, let alone Ennis Hawkins.
“Bruce Hodge sure knows how to pick his men. This George Holt apparently comes from the Mirror Stand’s brute squad. Most people wouldn’t dare to be so arrogant. He’s so brash, I actually want to go down there and smack him!”
Ennis Hawkins, however, was not focusing on George Holt.
His attention was mostly on Dean McKenzie.
“This kid has improved a lot in the dungeon!
But inside his body are traces of a powerful invasion of dark energy. It’s unclear how serious the problem is!”
Ennis Hawkins collected his thoughts and retracted his gaze.
“When are you leaving?”
“Leave for where?”
“Aren’t you going to rescue him?”
“If it’s just these four, he should be able to handle it himself. As for the rest, I have a friend who will help handle it!”
“Friend? What friend?”
Ennis Hawkins sighed deeply, “A friend who prefers to stay in the shadows.”
Dean McKenzie, escorted by George Holt, finally left Spring City after a long journey out of town.
After exiting Spring City, George Holt’s mood visibly soured.
Obviously disappointed that his plan to lure Ennis Hawkins out with Dean McKenzie did not work, he grew increasingly annoyed with Dean McKenzie, even going so far as to kick him in the rear.
Dean McKenzie’s brow furrowed tightly. Despite being well defended by both his Earth Guardian and Invisible Shield which together granted him up to 20,000 Defense, this kick felt more insulting than physically damaging. Dean McKenzie, who would not stand up to this insult, sternly warned, “Breanna Holt, it is out of respect that I am travelling with you to Thorn Oak City. You better not overstep!”
“Overstep?”
Upon hearing this, George Holt laughed, grabbed Dean McKenzie’s collar and glared into his face. “So what if I’ve overstepped?
Who do you think you are?
Are you not just a sewage cleaner who, by some stroke of luck, became a professional? You think you’re important because of this?
I don’t think I need to show you respect. What can you do about it?
What do you think you can do?
Ennis Hawkins has already given you up. Now that you’re in my hands, your fate is in my control. Your life— and your manner of death— is up to me.
If you can’t handle this now, how will you cope later?”
Dean McKenzie sighed at his opponent’s arrogant expression, “You’re leaving yourself no way out”
“Ha, leaving myself an out? Do you know where we brutish men in the brute squad get our name?
I, George Holt, have never known what it means to…”
“Enough, shut up!”
Dean McKenzie let out a cold huff and triggered Bone Resistance directly. The handcuffs shattered, and George Holt, standing closest to Dean McKenzie, was immediately sent flying by Bone Resistance.
Even with his Rare Template and a level of 80…
Under Dean McKenzie’s Bone Resistance, he was sent flying and spewing blood.
Before he even landed, a Bone Spear punctured him, nailing him to the ground. Immediately afterwards, another seven or eight Bone Spears pinned him down. Having endured these two bouts of attack, George Holt was at his last breath. Dean McKenzie took out a strip of dried fish, a gift from the princess, from his Land of Bone.
He smacked it against George Holt’s forehead repeatedly.
“Not giving face when it’s given, huh?”
“Arrogant, huh?”
“Just a sewer cleaner, huh?”
“The one who’s going to kill you is the very sewer cleaner you look down on!”
The more Dean McKenzie spoke, the harsher his slaps became. He beat George Holt to death on the spot.
[You have killed George Holt (Rare) (Level 80), your level has increased to 48, your Strength, Physique, Agility, and Spirit each increase by 12 points!]
[You have used Extraction on George Holt, you have gained 20 points of Strength, 20 points of Physique, 10 points of Spirit, and a piece of Rare Template!]
Only after these two system prompts did Dean McKenzie stop. He turned and looked towards Spring City.
At this moment, numerous eyes from Spring City were watching him in shock.
None of them had expected that Dean McKenzie would dare to brazenly kill a Mirror Stand member, let alone publicly execute him outside Spring City in such a brutal manner.
But this was precisely the effect that Dean McKenzie was aiming to achieve.
With the addition of the time inside the dungeon, three months had passed since he initially dealt with this matter. After repeatedly considering this issue over the three months, Dean McKenzie came to a conclusion.
George Holt, or rather his people behind the scenes, were not really targeting him. Their real target was Ennis Hawkins.
Otherwise, they would not have dragged this out for so long.
Once Dean McKenzie left with them, not only would his own safety be jeopardised, they would also use him as a weapon against Ennis Hawkins.
So, Dean McKenzie chose to handle this matter in this way.
He killed George Holt publicly and then fled the scene, with the crime falling onto him.
“As I’m going to have to run anyway, I don’t care about bearing the blame. Anthony, thank you for opening the door to my profession and for giving me what I have now. This is the only way I can help you. Until we meet again!”
Having said this, Dean McKenzie walked past the other three badly wounded Mirror Stand members and moved towards the outer areas of Spring City, officially stepping out of the place where his dream began.
On the other hand, in Spring City, Anthony received news about the event and remained silent for a long time.
In a place unseen by Dean McKenzie, a man was dressed in a black cloak, holding onto a limp figure in his hand, watching Dean McKenzie leave with an admiring gaze.
“I’m starting to like this kid!”
