It was a quiet late night.
There were cold breezes.
After dinner, Jack Hughes didn’t go out for a walk with Amber Knight like usual.
Amber’s body had just recovered and it was getting cold outside. It was not suitable for her to push him while having a walk outside.
On the rooftop.
The dim yellow light had made a few long shadows.
“Have you all confirmed?
Jack asked with a serious look.
Brent, Daisy Hill, and Mr. Ward who had just reached the rooftop nodded their heads at the same time.
Brent took a step forward and pointed at the villa beside them, “The only possible place that could monitor our place is over there. However, the Mysterious Man is staying there.”
Originally, the villa next door was bought by Killian Hughes. However, after Killian was forced away in a swift and violent way.
Then, Yael Quinn had bought the villa next door.
Jack turned his head and looked at the next door. Under the dim light, he could vaguely see a person lazily sitting on the concrete guardrail while holding a bottle of wine in his hand.
When Jack looked at that way, the Mysterious Man also raised his bottle of wine to give a signal from a far distance.
“Then, it is good.”
Jack faintly smiled. Then, he showed a cold look while looking at Brent, “It has been a long time since I had a practice with you.”
“Yeah. It has been a long time. I wonder how much young master has grown.”
Brent’s eyes showed a tremendous battling intention. He subconsciously clenched his fists tightly.
He was Jack’s teacher and he had trained Jack with severe systematic training step by step.
He was also extremely shocked because of Jack’s talents.
He was seriously injured and sent into the hospital. It had been a long time and Brent was still unsure about Jack’s current strength.
At the moment, he couldn’t wait to test Jack’s strength now.
“Dear, Brent has just recovered not long ago.”
Amber who was in a jacket walked towards them and she felt worried.
Without waiting for Jack to answer, Brent spoke first.
“It’s fine, Mrs. Hughes. My body has almost recovered. Probably it has recovered by eighty to ninety percent.”
“Don’t worry. We only have a light sparing. It is not a life or death fight.”
Jack gently patted Amber’s hand. He comforted her as he said.
He also wanted to have a trial sparing with Brent. Although after Brent was seriously injured and sent to the hospital, Jack had taken a few fights.
He even fought against the Chief Guard of Dragon Cavalry, Achilles White, and also Zenith Harol.
However, these two fights were not significant enough for him to judge his own strength.
He relied on his terrifying fighting instinct that made all the Golden Guards shocked during the fight against Achilles.
And the fight against Zenith… That was not a fight. He was completely crushed.
His martial arts were single-handedly taught by Brent.
He had always treated Brent as his goal and he had made a lot of effort.
The fight against Brent could let him fix the weaknesses of his martial arts. Brent could also help him to fix it. At the same time, he could also know the current level of his strength.
Upon hearing that.
Amber hesitated for a while. Then, she turned and walked towards Daisy.
On the rooftop, there was night breezes blowing towards them.
It was silent. It seemed like the air stopped flowing.
After making sure there were no scouts around, Jack slowly got up from his wheelchair.
It was a simple move. Yet, the aura that was emitted from his body had changed greatly.
It was like huge waves and big mountains.
Even his eyes looked cold, serious, and fierce.
‘So strong!’
Noticing his change, Brent kept his relaxed look. His pupils contracted and his face looked serious.
As the Warrior King that used to fight in the warzone, Brent was extremely sensitive towards the aura that was emitted by a person than the normal martial art Masters.
That awareness that was extremely close to his instinct was trained through countless times of blood-bathing and countless times of getting up from a pile of dead bodies.
When two people fought.
He could probably know the strength of his opponent through his aura.
Brent was sure that Jack’s aura was even stronger than it was before he was sent into the hospital.
