Chapter 457 – Brainless
Seeing this, Mark felt an overwhelming discomfort.
He was deeply unsettled.
He knew John's strength. He knew the man wasn't afraid of Lard in the slightest. But still—if John made a move now, as a bald, anonymous figure, it would ruin everything.
What was the point of all the low-key behavior earlier?
It would become meaningless.
Mark had his own selfish reasons. He'd told John to keep a low profile—not just to help him avoid trouble, but because he wanted to owe John alone.
Yes, owe him alone.
That made a difference. There was a big difference between having one person owe you... and the entire world benefiting from your power.
John was barely in his twenties, yet possessed terrifying strength. His cultivation talent was nearly unparalleled across the entire Alps Mountain.
Once word of his power spread, the Alps would be in uproar.
This had nothing to do with the inheritor of Queen Cyan's will. Even if John wasn't the inheritor, his raw strength and freakish talent alone would have sects lining up to recruit him—faster than any lucky chance or prophecy.
