The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 531

"Mike, what's going on?"

Austin asked seriously as he quietly sat in the audience hall.

Upon hearing his question, Mike immediately filled him in on what occurred without missing a single detail.

According to his story, the warriors who were currently residing in the Royal Palace were all supported by the royal household, and were all in-debt in them.

But it was not long after Austin entered the Mysterious Nether World, when a man who went by the name Gloomy Mountain Ancestor, whose real identity was Soren, proudly barged into the Austin Palace and started demanding a thousand vital energy crystals every day. He also required them to send their servants to do all the chores in his house.

Mike, Evan, and Herbert refused his unreasonable demands which were out of the blue, and decided to teach him a lesson instead and drive him away. However, when Soren started attacking them, the men realized that he was at the premium stage of Mysterious Realm.

Since the most powerful among them who were currently in Austin Palace was at the medium stage of Earth Real, they suddenly realized that they were no match against someone of Soren's caliber. They were like kids trying to fight a grown man.

In the end, every last one of the members of Austin Palace was beaten to a pulp. Some were killed and others were in critical condition.

More than 60 guards were easily killed by Soren's attacks.

Cornered with no chance of retaliation, Mike had no choice but to give in to the mad man's unreasonable requests in order to save the rest of the men and to ensure a short-lived peace in the Palace.

Austin was already about to explode with anger and fury, and revenge was already formulating in his mind as he listened to Mike recounted the events.

He already knew that Soren was after him, hence the sudden surprise visit.

People who were living in the Austin Palace—Ivy, Sue, Evan, Herbert, and Mike were Austin's relatives and best friends, and each of them were significantly important to him. And they were placed under grave danger because of him.

Soren had definitely crossed the line. What he had done was way beyond forgivable, so Austin had already decided to kill the man in the back of his mind.

"Why don't you ask Prince Reuben or other members of the royal household for help? They won't refuse you," Austin asked confusedly. Prince Reuben had ingratiated him for a long time, so he wouldn't turn a blind eye to Soren.

"Austin, Soren had kept us on a tight leash since I accepted his requests. He watched our every move like a hawk. Nobody could get in or out the Palace without Soren's permission.

He had placed us under house arrest for almost a month now!"

Mike said furiously, as he remembered his experience under Soren's tyranny.

"Oh? I see." Austin's eyes flared with so much hatred and anger, and he could actually kill Soren with just one glance.

Soren's tyrannous actions in the Austin Palace were completely beyond his patience.

While they were talking, Ivy and Sue rushed into the hall the moment they heard that Austin had returned.

"Honey, you are finally back!"

Sue hugged Austin tightly, and tears flowed down her pretty cheeks. She had pined away ever since Austin left, and the long period of separation had taken a toll in her body, mind and heart. She missed Austin so much, and she felt she was in heaven when Austin stood before her and gave her a warm embrace.

Ivy, who used to be bashful, also took Austin's hand in hers like she never wanted to let go. Despite her silence, Austin could tell that she cared a lot because of the sadness and love which shone from her eyes.
