Meanwhile, Daniel, hiding underground, didn’t even dare to breathe too loudly, for he could still hear the noisy footsteps above, and there was no doubt they were looking for him.
He looked at the Spirit Gathering Grass in his arms, feeling a million urges to consume it, but in the end, reason triumphed over desire.
After all, even if he were to take the Spirit Gathering Grass, a weakling like him stood no chance against the likes of Jessica Wright or Vivian Li, those of a higher level.
Moreover, no matter how well he could conceal his presence, the final winner, in pursuit of such a rare and exotic treasure as the Spirit Gathering Grass, would surely dig three feet into the ground to find him if necessary.
And all he could do was pray that the first to find him would be Oliver Walker!
On the banks of Qinghe…
“You lost!”
Andy Carter faced the suddenly turning Oliver Walker, his tone exceptionally cold!
Oliver Walker stood with his hands behind his back, wearing a composed smile, not the slightest bit panicked, “No, it’s you who lost!”
Andy Carter laughed, scolding sharply, “Still playing tough at the brink of death?”
In his view, the man in front of him was merely making a last desperate struggle before death.
He, lost?
How could he possibly lose?
Could Oliver Walker beat him?
Impossible!
“Turn around and look at the fireworks in the distance, aren’t they splendid?”
Oliver Walker was indeed exhausted, for strength is an energy type that ranks below inner ‘Qi’.
Although his strength was very pure, not of lower quality than many people’s inner ‘Qi’.
But what he was facing was none other than Grandmaster Andy Carter!
“Do you think I’d fall for that trick?”
Caution filled Andy Carter’s eyes, “You just want to take the opportunity to run away when I turn my back, right?”
Oliver Walker smiled, “Even if you don’t turn around, you must have heard the explosion, right?”
He was recovering his strength.
Of course, Andy Carter didn’t rush to attack, not out of mercy nor stupidity.
But because he too had expended a lot of his inner ‘Qi’ in this chase, he now needed to rest for a while.
After all, he couldn’t fully gauge the strength of Oliver Walker!
If he rashly attacked and then couldn’t defeat him, what then?
As for the explosion, he naturally heard it, and his expression changed abruptly, unable to help himself from turning back to look. When he realized that the direction where the flames were rising was behind the auction house…
He panicked, “What exactly have you done?”
The value of the Spirit Gathering Grass was self-evident; if it were lost, even he would face severe punishment.
Thus…
How could he not panic?
Even panic like a distressed dog!
Oliver Walker gave a slight smile, “Actually, I didn’t do anything, I just played with your intelligence, that’s all!”
“But to tell you the truth, I am indeed quite surprised by your intelligence!”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk…”
That mocking laughter, along with the playful curve of his lips, the sarcasm was self-evident.
“Bullshit!”
Andy Carter bellowed, “My intelligence might not be on par with Zhuge Liang, but it’s certainly not something you commoners can compare to!”
“With just a little stratagem, I’ve almost completely wiped out the Martial Arts World of Eastern Ocean City!”
“Even you were fooled!”
How could he admit there was a problem with his intelligence?
And how could he possibly allow others to mock it?
What a joke!
“You think I’ve been trapped, but little do you know I was just turning the tables!”
Oliver Walker could feel the strength within his body quickly recovering, so he continued, “Just by mocking you a few times, I drew you out, unaware that I’ve already sent someone to take the Spirit Gathering Grass!”
“Don’t you admit that you’re utterly defeated?”
When his forceful retort echoed along the banks of Qinghe Lake, Andy Carter’s face instantly turned a deep shade of purple!
His fists clenched tightly, he seethed with anger.
Knowing he’d been tricked yet still stubbornly saying, “But there are twenty guards from Carter Company inside the auction house, who would dare to storm in?”
