Chapter 170
He thought Old Master Luther was someone strong, but he realized he was just an old man after meeting him.
David’s mind power was so strong now, but he could not sense the slightest threat from Old Master Luther.
It was possible that Old Master Luther used to be strong, but was just an ordinary old man now.
It was hard to imagine that a family currently in its prime was built by this old man.
If the old man was suddenly gone, the towering Luther family would collapse.
“I don’t understand. Please explain, Old Master Luther!” said David.
It was not that he was curious or anything, but Rupert was naturally going to elaborate since he brought the topic up.
He was just complying by asking.
Sure enough, Rupert continued, “That’s because I have another identity!”
“What’s that?” David asked cooperatively.
“A retired member of National Special Task Force’s Team B!”
“A retired member of National Special. Task Force’s Team B? What kind of organization is that?” David asked curiously.
“Speaking of this organization, it’s necessary to talk about martial artists first. Martial artists have never disappeared. It’s just hard for ordinary people to get in touch with them. Dave, you should know this best, right?”
David did know this.
In the first twenty-one years of his life, he had never seen any martial artist, nor was he aware of the existence of martial artists.
However, ever since he obtained the system, he learned that just because he did not know something did not mean it did not exist. His level was previously just too low to ever interact with it.
It had never occurred to him that anyone could be as fearless with guns as those shown on television.
It was only after fighting Zachary at Fuller Golden Sands that he discovered a group of people in the world with powers that only ever existed on television. At the same time, he had accidentally joined that group.
Rupert went on and said, “Martial artists are a group that can do a lot of damage. Some of them are already strong enough to withstand ordinary firearms, but not everyone in this group is strong enough to resist the temptation. So, when they make a mistake, they do great harm to society.”
“The state can no longer threaten these people with ordinary soldiers, and that’s why the National Special Task Force was created. They are law enforcers and supervisors the country set up for martial artists.”
“I used to be one of them but was seriously injured during a mission, so I became a retired member. Once you’re in this organization, unless you commit treason or make a big mistake, you will always be protected by the entire Special Task Force. This protection also extends to your family. What’s supporting the Special Task Force is the nation.
“I retired because I was injured in a mission, so no one dares do anything to the Luther family as long as I am alive. But if I die, the Luther family will become a piece of delicious meat without any relation to me.”
David had some doubts after listening to Rupert’s words. ‘As long as Old Master Luther is alive, then the whole Luther family is being protected! How dare Zachary try to kill Charles at the time?’
Therefore, he asked, “Old Master Luther, why did Zachary try to kill Charles and Sandy if you’re still around?”
“That’s because Charlie pulled the gun first, or Zachary wouldn’t have dared kill Charlie and Sandy no matter how brave he was. The Special Task Force only protects your family from harm, but they won’t care if you try to hurt someone first and was struck back.”
That made sense!
No wonder Zachary, who wanted to make peace at first, tried to kill Charles right after Charles pulled his gun.
It turned out he was scared at the beginning!
