Chapter 166: Intimidating Half-step Innate Realm Martial Artists
In front of others, Travis was an elder, but in front of Marvin, he was just a junior.
As for Ralph, if it weren't for his position in the Inspectorate, the Green family, despite being a prestigious family, was nowhere near the level of the Brooks family.
Marvin had lived for far too long!
Gaining strength was difficult. Some people who practiced martial arts not only failed to achieve longevity but even shortened their lifespan.
However, if one could surpass the Grandmaster level, as long as their foundation wasn't damaged, living to a hundred years old was no problem.
But reaching a hundred was a significant hurdle!
Travis and Ralph might look like old men who could live another twenty years, but they definitely wouldn't make it to a hundred.
Moreover, as they aged, they couldn't easily engage in combat. If they did and got injured, it could lead to an early death.
The longer one lived, the less they wanted to die.
In front of Marvin, Travis had to be humble, but as a member of the Gomez family, he wasn't afraid of Marvin.
"It's my duty. The GhostHealer appears only once in decades; we had to come and see him!"
Marvin sneered inwardly. The Inspectorate had the same thoughts as him—they wanted to know the purpose of the GhostHealer's appearance.
An old monster who had lived for so long—who knew if he appeared on a whim or planned to stay out in the open for a long time.
The Inspectorate had to keep tabs on every move of the GhostHealer. They hadn't found any clues about him for decades, and now he suddenly appeared. No one knew where he had been hiding or how terrifying his current strength was.
Everyone had their own thoughts, but Ralph and Travis could sit on the side, unlike the Watson family members who had to stand.
The Watson family couldn't get a word in as the three talked.
Suddenly, Marvin stood up. As a Half-step Innate Realm Martial Artist, he had a trace of Natural Energy.
This Natural Energy made his senses very sharp, and he had already felt a powerful energy approaching.
Just sensing this energy made all of Marvin's previous thoughts vanish.
So powerful! The GhostHealer was definitely a true Innate Realm Martial Artist. Such an existence could kill him with a single slap, and he had actually thought of challenging the GhostHealer.
Sighing inwardly, Marvin quickly and respectfully said, "Welcome, Mr. GhostHealer!"
Ralph and Travis finally reacted and quickly stood up to greet him.
The Watson family members all straightened up and said, "Welcome, Mr. GhostHealer!"
Jeremy, disguised as the GhostHealer, appeared before them like a ghost, his face full of smiles. But to Marvin and the others, that smile was rather unsettling.
Jeremy snorted coldly, "I have an agreement with the Watson family and don't like being disturbed by outsiders. What are you all doing here?"
That cold snort made Marvin, Ralph, and Travis's faces change repeatedly, almost losing their balance.
So powerful! This force was terrifying.
The legendary GhostHealer, with a strange temper, could kill at the slightest provocation.
It seemed to be true!
Under the pressure, Marvin struggled to speak, "Mr. GhostHealer, I saw you from afar many years ago and have admired you ever since. Today, I just wanted to witness your presence in person. Please forgive me!"
Sweat beaded on Marvin's forehead. The energy was too terrifying. He felt that a single wrong word could lead to his body being shattered by this powerful force.
Jeremy looked at Marvin. He was indeed a Half-step Innate Realm Martial Artist.
As for Jeremy's current real combat power, it was probably only equivalent to a Half-step Innate Realm, thanks to his practice of Mystical Arts.
The energy he emitted only seemed like Innate Realm. His practice of Mystical Arts made his Natural Energy strong, which naturally suppressed these Martial Artists.
If he really fought Marvin now, even if he could kill him, it would come at a significant cost.
Sighing inwardly, Jeremy retracted his energy. It wasn't that he didn't want to kill, but he couldn't and didn't dare to.
With the identity of the GhostHealer and the pressure from his Natural Energy, it was enough to intimidate these people. But it wasn't true strength.
Unless he broke through to the Supreme Mortal Realm, he wouldn't truly possess the powerful combat strength of an Innate Realm Martial Artist, capable of easily killing someone like Marvin.
Jeremy said, "You've seen me now, so get lost and don't delay my business!"
Only with the identity of the GhostHealer could he speak to a Half-step Innate Realm like Marvin this way. If he were just Jeremy, he wouldn't dare, as it would expose his true strength.
Marvin, having come prepared, quickly took out a wooden box and said, "Mr. GhostHealer, this is a small token of my appreciation."
He had prepared for both outcomes. If the GhostHealer was fake or weaker than him, he would have acted without hesitation.
But if the GhostHealer was strong, he had to show some respect!
Jeremy signaled to Rick, "Bring it over for me to see!"
Rick quickly stepped forward, took the wooden box from Marvin, and handed it to Jeremy, opening it himself.
Seeing the contents of the box, Jeremy smiled.
"Not bad, a good item. Considering your tact, I won't hold a grudge against you juniors."
"If anyone in the Brooks family is on the brink of death, I can help once!"
This promise was a huge surprise for Marvin. He hadn't expected to exchange the item for a promise from the GhostHealer.
The wooden box contained an Elysia Evergreen, a complete one!
Such an Elysia Evergreen was priceless. Even with money, you couldn't buy it. For those in need, it was worth billions, even hundreds of billions of dollars.
For those who didn't need it, even if given, they wouldn't dare use it, as the energy contained in even a small amount could overwhelm and kill an ordinary person.
Marvin quickly bowed, "Thank you! If Mr. GhostHealer has time, the Brooks family will welcome you with open arms!"
Marvin used the Elysia Evergreen to gain a promise, feeling that the GhostHealer now had some connection with the Brooks family. He didn't stay longer and quickly left, knowing the GhostHealer's strange temperament and dislike for being disturbed.
After Marvin left, Jeremy looked at Ralph, an old acquaintance, and the Inspectorate head, Travis.
"You two are from the Inspectorate?"
Ralph quickly replied, "Yes."
Jeremy chuckled, "What, is the Inspectorate worried I'll go on a killing spree in Sunrise, or that I'll seek revenge on those from the past?"
Ralph hurriedly said, "Mr. GhostHealer, we're just following protocol. Please understand!"
