Clarence frowned. “What’s the story behind this necklace?
“Why do you want it?”
“Hahahaha.”
Master Dunn leaned back and laughed. “Poor boy, you know Thirteen Hell’s Gate Acupuncture and own the sterling silver cross, yet you don’t know what they are.”
“Sterling silver cross?”
Today was the first time Clarence had heard the name.
Master Dunn smiled. “Yes, it’s the legendary sterling silver cross.
“It is said that it was one of the magical elemental stones Gaia left behind. After that, it fell onto earth and dropped on Sterling Hill, where Hera found it.
“There are two pieces. One in the shape of a cross and the other in the shape of a dove.
“It contains a mysterious European power that can resurrect the dead and cure the wounded.”
Master Dunn’s muddy eyes lit up. “Don’t play dumb. You saved Leah with the sterling silver cross.”
Master Dunn ordered, “Now, give it to me immediately.”
Clarence’s eyebrows furrowed.
He seemed to be waiting for something.
Master Dunn was impatient. “Are you not going to give it to me, boy?
“Okay, then your woman can die!”
Master Dunn had a nasty look on his face. He took out the demonic bug, ready to use it on Miranda.
“Ahh...”
The woman’s face turned pale with fear.
Clarence was also shocked. He dared not take any chances when it came to Miranda.
He took the necklace with a cross off his neck and threw it at Master Dunn.
Master Dunn’s pupils shrank, and his eyes followed the arc of the necklace through the air. His hands trembled as he tried to catch the necklace with a cross.
Swoosh...
Swoosh...
Swoosh...
Just then, three arrows were fired from outside the church. They were so quick that three of Rattlesnake and Datura’s men were instantly shot through the heart and killed.
Boom...
Then, there was a roar of propellers outside the church. A helicopter was hovering over it.
“What’s going on?” shouted Rattlesnake.
One of his men rushed into the church from outside with a pale face. “Boss, we have a problem.
“Roger came out of nowhere with a bunch of people.
“Several planes have surrounded Bat Hill.
“There are nearly a thousand people...”
“What?”
Rattlesnake and Datura’s expressions changed.
Clang.
Suddenly, someone pushed the church’s wooden door open from the outside. Roger and a group of people rushed in.
The Reed family’s disciples armed opened fire on Rattlesnake and Datura’s men with heavy crossbows.
Swoosh...
Swoosh...
The arrows flew out to shoot the martial artists, turning them into hedgehogs.
Roger stood at the church door, shouting, “Rattlesnake, Datura, you have no way to escape. Surrender!”
Rattlesnake’s eyes widened, and he let out a cry of pain. “How dare you ask someone to come here, boy?
“Do you have a death wish?”
He had a nasty look on his face. He wanted to tear Clarence apart so badly.
Clarence sighed. “We’re in the modern age. Don’t you know that there’s something called a GPS?
“Do you think we live in a martial arts novel?”
Clarence pulled out his phone, which had Whatsapp location sharing enabled on it.
Roger and the others had been able to pinpoint Clarence’s location through it, so he had brought his men here.
Everything Clarence had just done—including treating Rattlesnake and Datura and teaching Thirteen Hell’s Gate Acupuncture to Master Dunn, had been to buy time.
Datura laughed angrily. “Even if we’re surrounded, you’re going to die with us. Go to hell!”
Datura pulled the whip from her waist and cracked it at Clarence’s head with all her might.
Suddenly, she staggered as the internal energy in her body fell. She spat a mouthful of blood out.
Crack crack crack...
There was a burst of loud cracks as Datura’s meridians were shattered. “What did you do to me?”
Clarence smiled. “Nothing, I just messed around with your meridians.
“As soon as you activate your internal energy, your meridians will shatter, and you’ll be crippled!”
Datura’s eyes widened. “How cruel of you to do this to me.”
Clarence sneered. “I’m cruel? Am I as cruel as you?
“You stabbed Brother Bill over a hundred times to get at me. You killed him because of me!
“You sent one of your men, Chopper, to kill me, yet you had him swallow poison before that. You don’t even have mercy for your own men!
“And now you’ve kidnapped a weak woman like Miranda to threaten me?
“You’re a hundred times crueler than I am!”
Roger’s men went over and grabbed Datura.
Rattlesnake was subdued easily. He no longer dared to put up a fight.
Datura had activated her internal energy and shattered her meridians. She had become useless, and he did not want to end up like her.
Their men either died or surrendered.
Roger’s men took control of the church, while Julian and his men came in from the outside. “President, we’ve cleared the perimeter. We’ve killed and captured whomever we needed to.”
Roger nodded. “Send them to the Martial Arts Association headquarters, and let the general president deal with them.
“This time, Dom will... Haha...”
With the loss of his sidekicks, Dom was now no match for him.
Clarence was not interested in the martial arts world. All he cared about was Miranda.
“Wait!
“Oh no, where’s Miranda?” Clarence stared at Miranda’s old position.
She had been tied to the post just now, but now all that was left was the rope. Miranda was nowhere to be seen.
Master Dunn!
It had to be Master Dunn’s doing!
“Miranda!”
Clarence frantically searched the church for Miranda.
“Where is she?”
“Well...”
Everyone looked at each other.
Everyone had been so busy dealing with Rattlesnake and Datura’s men that no one had paid attention to Miranda.
“Damn it!”
Clarence punched the wall with his fist so hard that it broke and cracked into the shape of a spiderweb.
The crowd was startled.
Suddenly, one of Roger’s men rushed over. “President, we found a secret passageway behind the church. There’s some money, gold, and jewelry in it.
“And a tunnel to somewhere!”
“Miranda!” shouted Clarence as he grabbed a dagger and rushed toward the back of the church.
Roger, Julian, and the rest were frightened and hurriedly followed him. “Brother Howard, don’t act rashly. The enemy’s hiding in the dark. Watch out for any ambushes.”
By the time they got to the back of the church, Clarence had already rushed into the tunnel.
“Come on. Let’s go after him.”
Julian led his men into the tunnel, not thinking about it much.
Clarence concentrated upon entering the tunnel. The dark tunnel looked as bright as day to him now.
His friends chased after them. The entire tunnel was nearly at a 45-degree slope.
Clarence walked three or four kilometers before he saw light ahead.
The moment he got out of the tunnel, he saw Master Dunn holding Miranda hostage, ready to get into the car and run.
Master Dunn froze when he saw Clarence. “You caught up with us, boy!”
Clarence roared coldly, “Let go of Miranda.”
“Haha, am I supposed to let go just because you’ve told me to? I’ll take her as a hostage first... Ahh…!” Master Dunn screamed halfway through his sentence. Miranda had bitten his arm.
“Damn it...
“How dare you bite me?”
Master Dunn pulled out a knife. “Go to hell!”
Clarence reached out and threw his dagger. It stabbed Master Dunn’s arm with a swoosh.
Master Dunn dropped his weapon. Miranda tried to seize the opportunity to run away, but Master Dunn was not ready to let her go, so he kicked Miranda in the back.
“Poof...”
Miranda spat out a mouthful of blood as she threw herself into Clarence’s arms.
Just then, shouting and footsteps came from behind Clarence. Master Dunn took the opportunity to get into his car. Then, he stepped on the gas pedal and disappeared down the end of the road.
Clarence sighed. He had failed to get the necklace with a cross back....
