Chapter 184 Extermination of the Clan
They were absolutely floored. Sure, they'd met Jeremy before, but to them, he was just some kid.
Just the heir to GhostHealer!
They never took him seriously.
What could a young guy like him possibly do?
But the scene in front of them shattered all their preconceptions.
Jeremy chuckled, "Yep, it's me!"
Marvin squinted, giving Jeremy a hard look. "It's you!"
It was like he just figured something out.
Jeremy laughed heartily and stepped forward. The sheer force of his energy knocked Colin off balance, sending him to the ground.
Jeremy declared, "The Brooks family has hurt thousands of innocent people over the years. I now sentence you to death. Any objections?"
Kirk, already reeling from Jeremy's power, spat out blood. He was drained, and even Colin, just a regular guy, couldn't stand up to Jeremy's overwhelming force.
Even the young Brooks family member who came to report the news coughed up blood and died after a few convulsions on the ground.
"It's you! You're gonna destroy the Brooks family!"
Marvin's eyes were cold as he stared at Jeremy, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
"Who the hell are you?"
Jeremy replied calmly, "Shouldn't the Brooks family be destroyed?"
"In my view, there's no one innocent in the Brooks family. Don't worry, I'll spare the women and children who weren't involved in any of this."
"As for the rest of you, you've committed countless atrocities and deserve to die!"
Just as Marvin was about to make his move, a powerful energy forced him to retreat.
"You..."
Marvin recognized the energy. It felt familiar, and terror flashed in his eyes.
But by then, Jeremy was already in front of him.
With no resistance, Jeremy's palm landed directly on Marvin!
The light in Marvin's eyes vanished instantly, his pupils contracting in shock.
"You..."
Marvin collapsed to the ground, seemingly understanding everything.
Jeremy took a deep breath, surprised that his move had worked.
The powerful energy had intimidated Marvin, leaving him with no will to resist.
Because in Marvin's eyes, Jeremy was an Innate Realm Martial Artist.
Facing a true Innate Realm Martial Artist, Marvin had no chance of resisting.
So he didn't.
But when Jeremy's palm struck him, Marvin realized he was wrong, but it was too late.
Jeremy wasn't a true Innate Realm Martial Artist!
By the time Marvin figured this out, it was already too late!
Jeremy's palm had destroyed his center of Inner Energy and his internal organs.
If Marvin had resisted, the outcome would have been the same, but Jeremy would have paid a higher price.
Marvin's face showed a faint smile, mocking himself for being scared by a young man.
He looked at Jeremy, the light in his eyes slowly fading.
In his hand, he still held a red card!
Kirk and Colin were also dead. Even if they hadn't participated, they knew about the Brooks family's actions.
They all deserved to die!
The Brooks family was wiped out!
This news didn't spread.
The Inspectorate quickly sealed off the entire Brooks Manor, and the surviving women and children were quietly relocated.
The only prominent family in Sunrise vanished without a trace, and the outside world remained unaware.
Life went on as usual, with everyone going about their business.
But those who knew the real reason behind the Brooks family's annihilation were terrified.
The red card from ShadowCorp had reappeared!
Even ShadowCorp itself was surprised!
ShadowCorp had always been special. When StormDragon founded it, he commanded the military and had the loyal Azure Dragon Guards.
ShadowCorp was a nightmare for many.
But three years ago, StormDragon died, and ShadowCorp declined, even facing retaliation.
ShadowCorp couldn't even issue cards anymore!
Its members didn't dare show themselves.
But now, black cards had appeared in Sunrise, along with a rare red card!
And the Brooks family, who received the red card, was truly annihilated.
For many, it felt like ShadowCorp under StormDragon had returned, spreading fear once again.
Marvin wasn't a top fighter on the TigerRankings, but he was a significant figure. His death scared those with guilty consciences.
Meanwhile, far away in Everglade's ThunderLord Palace...
ThunderLord, now in his fifties, looked energetic. He wasn't a Martial Artist, just an ordinary man.
ThunderLord was a title, tracing back hundreds of years to those who made great contributions to the country.
ThunderLord, named Logan Morris, had received news of the Brooks family's annihilation.
Standing before him was Zayne, who had returned from Sunrise.
Zayne had narrowly escaped death in Sunrise and safely returned to Everglade's ThunderLord Palace.
"Why won't you tell me the truth?" Logan's cold gaze made Zayne's face pale.
Next to them stood a young man, looking even more distressed.
"Dad, I just wanted to do something for the family!"
The young man was ThunderLord's son, Clyde Morris, the next ThunderLord.
Logan snorted, "You call that doing something? You were just causing trouble!"
ThunderLord knew about Clyde's actions but had turned a blind eye.
Now that trouble had arisen, he had to discipline Clyde to avoid being blamed for indulgence.
Zayne quickly said, "Mr. Logan Morris, Mr. Clyde Morris was collaborating with Vernon!"
Logan sighed, "You think I don't know?"
"Vernon in the Crimson Triangle is dangerous. Collaborating with him is like making a deal with the devil!"
"Now look, the Brooks family attracted ShadowCorp's red card."
Zayne whispered, "Mr. Logan Morris, can ShadowCorp still issue red cards?"
There were many rumors about the red card, but it had only appeared a few times.
After so many years, the red card reappeared, and those who understood its significance were curious about ShadowCorp's intentions. Were they planning to rise again and intimidate the world?
Logan chuckled, "Have you forgotten who's in charge of ShadowCorp now? PhoenixFury!"
"She was StormDragon's woman. Who knows if she wants to enforce StormDragon's old rules?"
"Three years ago, PhoenixFury protected ShadowCorp. Though it seemed inactive, I know she's been trying to gain full control."
"This red card might be her doing!"
