It's just that many capable martial artists don't care about fame and authority, focusing wholly on cultivating. Otherwise, the entire martial arts world in the northwest is really too weak if Karl were the best martial artist there.
“Trust me on this! I heard that the martial arts practiced by the Baron of the Northwest are unrivaled! He's just like an immortal, albeit I've never seen it in person,” the driver asserted mysteriously.
Jared merely chuckled in response. To the ordinary person, an Eighth Level Martial Arts Grandmaster is indeed considered an immortal.
“Then, do you know where Karl lives?” he queried.
“There's a manor spanning over sixty hectares in the west of the city. That’s where he resides. But you'd best not go there if you don't have an invitation. Not only will you be unable to gain entry, but you might even get beaten up. Anyone who wants an audience with the Baron of the Northwest must make an appointment beforehand,” the driver cautioned.
‘Thank you, mister. I was merely asking out of curiosity. I don't know him, so why would I go there?” Jared replied with a smile.
While the driver was driving Jared and Lizbeth to the hotel, a black car dashed out from behind on a relatively remote road without warning.
The car scraped against the taxi, giving the driver such a scare that he hastily got out of the vehicle to check on things.
The moment he noticed that the other car was a BMW, his expression changed.
“Are you Peking blind? Do you even know how to drive?”
Two men alighted from the BMW and tore into the taxi driver.
“I'm sorry, but you were the ones who abruptly darted out, and I didn't have the time to brake.”
The driver hurriedly apologized to them both.
However, one of them shoved him unforgivingly while the other furtively studied Jared in the taxi.
Although Jared was sitting in the taxi, he had long since sensed the man scrutinizing him. Besides, the two men emanated auras of martial artists faintly.
They had deliberately masked their auras, but he could still perceive them.
“I'm in a rush right now, gentlemen. It's just a graze anyway. How much does a repair cost? I'll pay you compensation.”
Jared swung open the car door and climbed out just then.
