The phone connected.
Julia Stewart’s voice came through, sounding surprised and delighted.
"Lionel Yeager, you’ve finally answered the phone!"
"Qing Mei, what on earth happened, why are so many people calling me and sending messages?"
Lionel Yeager quickly asked.
Julia Stewart said, "Lionel, something big has happened! A really big deal!"
"What big deal has happened?"
Upon hearing this, Lionel Yeager’s heart instantly leapt into his throat.
Julia Stewart took a deep breath and said, "During these few days you’ve disappeared, the Martial Arts World of Sakura Country issued a challenge to you!
Moreover, they have issued a battle letter, wanting you to go to Sakura Country to accept the challenge!
Now, this battle letter has blown up across the major media and the internet, staying high on the trending searches!
Everyone thought you would respond to the challenge, but because you’ve been missing, the public has some very strong feelings about you!"
"So that’s how it is."
Lionel Yeager sneered and said, "The Sakura Country Martial Arts World really are relentless, issuing another challenge to me!
If they are so keen on seeking death, then I’ll grant them their wish!"
Julia Stewart hurriedly said, "Lionel, you mustn’t be rash!
This is clearly a trap they’ve set!
If you really go, you would be falling right into their hands!
Also, we’ve already sent masters to Sakura Country on our side to take on the challenge for you!
The people of Sakura Country are itching to grind you to dust, so it’s best you don’t go!"
"Who did our side send to Sakura Country?"
Lionel Yeager inquired.
Julia Stewart replied, "I’m not too clear, it seems to be people from the major sects."
"Oh..."
Lionel Yeager nodded and said, "If that’s the case, then I have even more reason to accept the challenge!
They want to challenge me, so what’s the point of having someone else take my place in the fight?"
Julia Stewart was very anxious, "Lionel, if their people were to come to East Nation, I would naturally support your decision to fight!
But if you go there, it would be far too dangerous!"
Lionel Yeager sighed and said, "Qing Mei, I know you’re worried about me.
But you know who I am, I’ve never been one to shy away from challenges.
Therefore, I must go."
"Lionel..."
"Qing Mei, don’t worry, I will take good care of myself and return safely."
Lionel Yeager spoke gently, then continued, "Tell everyone not to worry."
Having said this, Lionel Yeager hung up the phone.
"Brother Yeager, what’s happened?"
Bardon Bard asked curiously.
Lionel Yeager said, "In the past few days, the people from the Martial Arts World of Sakura Country have issued me a challenge and sent a battle letter.
The letter has now blown up on the internet."
"What?!"
Bardon Bard was instantly stunned and angrily said, "Are these guys looking for death?!"
Lily Tisdale and Prajna Bates also showed anger on their faces.
The King of Berserk asked, "Little Brother, when did you offend the Martial Arts World of Sakura Country?"
Lionel Yeager replied, "I had conflicts with them a long time ago.
Previously, they sent three masters to East Nation to challenge me, but I killed them.
I did not expect that these guys would challenge me again.
I actually want to see what they’ve written in their battle letter."
With that, he opened a news report and began browsing.
Soon, he finished reading the contents of the battle letter.
However, when he got to the messages/comments below, he slightly furrowed his brow.
At that moment, Lily Tisdale, Bardon Bard, and Prajna Bates had also finished reading the battle letter and saw the messages.
When they saw the overwhelming stream of abuse,
Bardon Bard exploded with anger, "God damn it, what the hell, when did my brother Yang become a coward, a weakling, a damn bear!"
Prajna Bates had reddened eyes and angrily said, "Mr. Yeager, why on earth would they curse you like this?
How much have you done for East Nation, have they all forgotten?"
The King of Berserk said admiringly, "Little Brother, you have a clear mind, not disturbed by the vulgar words and people of the world; your future is limitless!"
