Chapter 100 The Truth From Three Years Ago Finally Revealed (Part Two)
Furthermore, that attack had not only gotten me seriously injured but also left a devil in my heart. It became an obstacle for me to
get further cultivation. If I can't get rid of it, then I wouldn't be able to make progress."
Hearing this, Murray sighed and said," I know you'd never be satisfied until you get to the bottom of things. Knowing you, under
no circumstances would you let this go by unsettled. Alright then, I'll tell you everything I know.
Three years ago, the high-ranking members of Sun Sect decided to select a group of elites to train. The elites of a sect generally
referred to the core disciples and inner disciples. However, among the core disciples and inner disciples, the talents were few
then, and the truly qualified disciples were just rare. Therefore, the high-ranking members decided to expand the range of
selection to the outer disciples," Murray said slowly as he recalled the past.
"At that time, there were only five qualified outer disciples. Those were you, Gavin, Bridget, Braxton, and Bryan.
After some series of challenges, the head decided to only pick three—you, Bridget, and Gavin."
Austin listened carefully. He was surprised that he didn't know anything about this. It was as if this part of his memory was taken
out of his brain.
Perhaps this was a secret in the sect and ordinary disciples were not supposed to know about this.
Murray continued," However, just after the three candidates had been selected, both you and Gavin were attacked individually.
You were lucky to survive the attack, though you went crazy. Gavin, on the other hand, was less fortunate and got killed on the
spot.
"Gavin was killed?" Austin asked incredulously.
He was surprised to hear the news of Gavin's death. At that time, among the outer disciples, Austin ranked first, and Gavin was
next to him. It was hard for him to believe that Gavin would be killed in that attack.
"Indeed. After you and Gavin were attacked, I suspected that you were targeted because you were the selected elites. In the
past years, I had conducted my own thorough investigation. And finally, I think I have found out the truth."
"Who was he? Who attacked us? Please tell me, Steward Murray."
Austin sprang to his feet and asked. It was the moment he had been waiting for—to know the name of the man who attacked him
three years ago.
"I believe Braxton and Bryan will never get away with this," Murray answered.
"Braxton and Bryan?" Austin asked curiously. "The person who attacked me that night had unfathomable vital energy. I suppose
that he should be at Earth Realm at least. But neither Braxton nor Bryan had such high cultivation."
Austin felt puzzled.
"Do you remember being called out by an outer disciple named Chale on that night?"
asked Murray.
"Yes, I did. Besides Evan, Chale was my best friend in Sun Sect. On the day before I was attacked, he told me that he had found
a 500-year-old energy ginseng in a valley nearby. I was preparing to break through the Earth Realm when I heard the news. In
order to get a better breakthrough, I decided to set off with him to find the energy ginseng that night. But just as I walked into a
forest, I was attacked," recalled Austin.
"That's it. I have already checked on the matter. A few days before you were attacked, Braxton and Bryan had secretly talked to
Chale, and then the attack happened. Since you and Gavin were either hurt or dead, Bryan and Braxton consequently replaced
your positions. Could it be accidental?"
Anger gleamed in Austin's eyes as he thought about the question.
"It must be them!" he said, grinding his teeth.
Thinking of what had happened to him over the past three years, anger came over to Austin.
"One day, I will make them pay."
"Braxton and Bryan, they are already core disciples now. By the way, do you know what the relationship between Braxton and
Elder Jaime is?" asked Steward Murray.
"What do you mean?"
Austin asked curiously.
"Braxton is Elder Jaime's grandson," Murray answered.
"So that's why." Austin sighed in sudden realization.
"I suspect that all this may have something to do with Elder Jaime. So, better be careful. It is said that he has already at the
senior level of Earth Realm. Besides, he wields a lot of power in Sun Sect and I think he is too strong for you. Furthermore,
Braxton and Bryan are also at Earth Realm."
Murray shook his head and looked at Austin anxiously. He didn't know whether he was right or wrong to tell him the truth. He was
afraid that Austin would run for revenge on the spur of the moment and lose his life.
As for Austin, after hearing Murray's narration, he stood still for a moment. It was not until he had calmed down that he looked up
slowly at Murray with gratitude.
"Steward Murray, I know what you're worried about. But please trust me. I won't act harshly, I promise. I will get my revenge on
them one day. But now is not the time. I will wait until I become stronger. From now on, I will focus on cultivating myself hard with
all my heart. Then I'll settle our score one by one in the future."
Looking at Austin's limpid and steady eyes, Murray received his words with appreciation. He nodded and felt relieved.
"I'm glad to see you've become more mature. Then I'll wait for the good news from you.
I'm afraid I need to go now. There are still many things for me to deal with. Remember to look out for yourself."
Murray was always bound up in business, so he couldn't stay long even if he wanted to.
"Jaime, Braxton, Bryan."
There was a voice that kept enumerating these names in his mind.
"Enjoy now, for someday, I will get my revenge!"
