The Invincible Arthur Gardner

Chapter 54 - Bracing for Impact

Brave, the most reliable and respected figure under The Kraken's leadership, was a strong and

successful man. He had never failed to carry out a task given to him, thus earning a perfect score.

"Hey you," Brave called out to one of his men, "bring me a chair."

The man complied, and soon a chair was in front of Brave. He then sat directly in front of the large

apartment building and lit a cigarette from his pocket.

"I guess work is easy like this," he said in a proud tone, "I don't need to meddle too much."

"You guys go in immediately and capture that young girl," Brave ordered his men. Soon, some of them

entered the apartment building one by one.

"Sir!" One of Brave's men called out, hurrying towards him.

"What?" Brave responded in a gruff tone.

"Someone reported that there is a man suspected to be Mr. Glitzy with Alicia in her room," the man

continued.

Brave's face lit up with a pleased expression, and he laughed.

"This is going to be an even easier job than we thought. Get the girl and Glitzy out, and I'll take care of

them myself. I'll show him that he should have stayed away from The Kraken and her army by beating

him up."

for the day.

Brave felt his cell phone ring, and with a proud smile, he knew it was The Kraken calling. He answered,

determined to make his boss proud of his work.

"Brave, what took you so long to complete this task?" Estella Strong, also known as The Kraken in the

underworld, asked in a gentle yet firm tone. Her voice was melodious, but her meaning was clear. "I'm

too bored. Is capturing a weak girl this difficult for you?"

"Boss, don't worry," he said reassuringly. "Give me a few more minutes, and I will finish this task. And

one more thing that will definitely put a smile on your face."

"What is it?" she asked inquisitively.

"I believe Mr. Glitzy is also here with the girl, and I'll apprehend them for you," he explained.

"Really? Are you sure that man is in here as well?"

Estella fell silent for a moment upon hearing that fact. She was intrigued by Mr. Glitzy and had the

intention to meet him in person. She wanted to know what kind of man had made Aston The Goblin so

angry and overwhelmed.

"Okay," Estella said with a smile on her face, "I will get out of the car and go to your place. I want to see

what Mr. Glitzy looks like, and maybe I will reveal his identity myself. I will show him how beautiful I am

and I will bring him to his knees in front of me."

"Okay, boss," Brave answered proudly.

Brave put his phone back in his pocket and took a long drag on his cigarette, savoring the smoke as it

filled his lungs. He blew it out with satisfaction before waiting for the result of his men's efforts to be

revealed.

After a few moments, he noticed something peculiar coming from the direction of the apartment

building door. A person was thrown out with a loud thud and landed in front of him.

"What happened?" Brave asked, the cigarette still dangling from his lips.

Brave was taken aback and examined his men lying before him looking severely beaten.

"What happened? How did you end up like this?" Brave demanded, his voice tight with anger.

"I apologize, sir. That man in the bear mask was too powerful - we weren't able to handle him," the man

replied, groaning in pain, before losing consciousness.

"What the hell is going on here?!"

Brave stood up, his face contorted in rage, and took a long, deep drag off his cigarette before flicking it

to the ground and stomping on it. He then whirled around and grabbed one of his men, snarling, “Go

inside and grab that guy - and do it fast!”

He shoved the man away, and the entire group of ten ran into the apartment in the blink of an eye.

"Don't let him escape!" Brave yelled. "Catch him and beat him to death!"

After a few seconds of waiting, Brave was startled when a man was thrown out of the apartment door

and landed in front of him. He stared angrily, not understanding what was happening. Suddenly, more

men were thrown from the door, falling into a pile at Brave's feet.

"What the hell is going on here?!" he shouted in rage.

He grabbed his men and ordered, "Quickly go inside and capture whoever is responsible!"

Brave's men looked terrified when they approached the apartment building door, and Brave was

infuriated. "If any of you are scared, I'll beat them up. Just go inside and grab that idiot. Are you scared

to just confront a man?"

He clenched his fists and forcefully dragged his men to the apartment building door, then grabbed the

others and kicked them.

“Hurry up and get that man!” he demanded.

After waiting for several minutes, Brave was exasperated to see the same scene unfold again; several

people were ejected from the apartment building and lay limp in front of him.

Taking up a golf club, he glared towards the building, and at that moment, a man wearing a bear head

mask emerged from the entrance, accompanied by a girl with black hair - Alicia, the target of their

mission that day.

Brave angrily brandished his golf club at Arthur and sneered, "So, you finally dared to show your face?"

He then added, "Are you Mr. Glitzy? You look so weak, I'll teach you an important lesson today that you

will never forget. Prepare to accept my wrath!"

Arthur slowly walked up to Brave, the golf club resting on his shoulder. He said, "Did you guys have to

bring that many people to face me? I'm flattered by this kind of service. I'm sure you really understand

how powerful and dangerous I am, right?"

Red-faced, Brave exclaimed, "God damn it! I'll finish you right now!"

[Host, I hope you're not too overconfident facing the seventy or so people in front of you by yourself]

"Hush now, system," Arthur said, attempting to maintain a sense of confidence despite the large crowd

before them. "Are you trying to motivate me or frighten me?"
