The young man and his cohort erupted into hearty laughter.
"Marcellus Foster, what guts you have, haha, see if you can kill me, haha..."
"You're not usually this tough, are you? You're acting quite unusual today."
"He doesn't want to lose face in front of his friends."
"Oh, so you've got a backbone today."
The crowd chimed in with mocking tones, all adopting a sneering stance.
Marcellus's face turned red with an expression of grinding his teeth in anger but not daring to explode, which piqued Carson's curiosity. He asked in a low voice, "Who is he?"
Carson pondered that, since Marcellus was the grandson of the Nutwood Peak Master, he should have the backdrop of a top-tier boss. Could it be that his fear was due to someone descended from the Cave Master?
With an awkward look on his face, Marcellus answered, "Brecken James, his uncle is the Peak Master of the Celestial Pivot Peak."
