CHAPTER 97 YOU GUYS ARE TOO SLOW TO PROGRESS
After teaching Matthew a lesson, Crane came to the crowd.
The two dozen people at the moment were looking on in awe.
All twenty of them together could be killed by Matthew in seconds, but he could not last a single move
in the hands of Boss Smith?
"Boss Smith, how powerful are you?"
Harvey asked in a trembling voice.
He knew that Dragon Lord's strength was definitely not weak.
But that's a little too strong.
Crane first froze for a moment, then pondered for a moment and said, "I'm not sure, anyway, but
compared to my peak, it is just average."
And he's telling the truth.
Harvey and the others were even more shocked.
As for the Matthew, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
At his peak, Crane was able to defeat ten thousand with one, and now it was still no problem to defeat
a few hundred or a thousand with one.
Of course those hundreds or thousands didn't refer to the common folk with little fighting ability, they all
had to be at least veteran level like Harvey.
Thinking about it, Matthew suddenly went a bit silent again.
"Dragon Lord's health seems to be deteriorating daily, I have to speed up and seek for a supreme
divine medicine to mend the body for Dragon Lord."
He clenched his fist tightly, and the act was warmed by Crane in his heart.
Matthew seemed unreliable, but in reality, he was more attentive than Paige, and this was one of the
important reasons why Crane had left him behind.
"Well, without further ado, I've just learned about your recent performance, and to be honest-"
Chen gave a pause, looked at the expectant guys, and spat out, "Poor."
What he wants to see is not how strong you guys are now, but how fast you guys are progressing in the
end, even though Harvey can now be among those who passed this test in less than four minutes, but
he is only breaking through a little bit on the path towards the limit.
How can you talk about going further when you haven't even reached the limit?
"Before I set you all to at least twenty seconds faster, but now it's fifteen seconds at most, so would you
say you're masters or losers now?"
Crane had always spoken in a conciliatory manner.
But once it's on a special training like this, or even on something that will be life threatening in the
future, he’s definitely mean.
Harvey and the others were silent.
They naturally felt that the progress was great enough, but Crane was not the least bit satisfied, and
they were naturally chagrined.
"Starting today, each and every one of you go work on the site, the higher the risk, the more you have
to do. You can't just rely on these facilities and those drugs to strengthen yourselves, it's hard to reach
and push your limits without being in absolutely dangerous situations."
Crane looked around and said indifferently, "I will come to inspect your situation in half a month, there
must be twenty of you to achieve less than four minutes, and you, Harvey, are special, you must break
into at least three minutes and forty-five seconds.
The rest that don't reach that goal get lost, and if they don't reach the number I require, then all of you
go back to your mom."
"I am going to make Stone City into an iron cage, and am bound to do quite big things, so if you don't
have the strength, go back and don't come and get involved!"
Crane left after dropping these words.
Harvey and the others who were left in place clenched their fists tightly, one by one, their nails pinched
into their palms. Matthew felt sorry for them.
“Lord Smith, they are all ordinary people, not true warriors, isn't it too harsh to plan them with the
requirements of our Cryptoclidus Palace’s warriors?"
Matthew mocked these people day in and day out, but in reality, he treated them as his own soldiers,
so he cherished them.
Crane gave Matthew a glance and said indifferently, "If they don't have absolute strength, then don't
come and get involved. Do you want them to be comfortable and then die in the future war, or become
stronger to be able to have the power to survive in the future storm?"
"I, well!"
Matthew was dumbfounded at his words.
He naturally understood what Crane was saying.
More than that, he understood what Crane was going to do next.
There are many things that are not appropriate for the official to do.
But the power of the gentry in the territory is too great and will inevitably create an unfair state. Crane's
goal is to uproot these gentry, but relying on Crane alone is unrealistic. They could not transfer troops Content © .
from the Cryptoclidus Palace, or there would be gossip, so he could only cultivate new forces in the
territory.
These people were the first batch of veteran prepared by Crane, but if they didn't have enough
strength, they would definitely die without a burial in the future.
Both he and Crane understood that in the future, there would inevitably be countless blood splattered
and countless lives faded, and sacrifice was inevitable, so all they could do was to minimize the
sacrifice as much as possible.
"I see."
Matthew got a serious look on his face.
Crane nodded slightly and did not stay any longer, only to hear Matthew start cursing as soon as he
returned.
"You bastards, either keep training or get your asses home!"
Crane ignored it, he didn't care how many people would be left behind, he only cared about how many
people would survive in the future.
Meanwhile.
Bernard was also out.
He came out several days later than Aston. He is now thin and bony, his father showed a look of
intolerance, and had to swallow back his scolding words.
"Son, let's go home and have a meal."
His mother came up and wanted to pull her son away, cursing, "What the hell is wrong with this Safety
Department, they actually even arrested my son. I'll definitely find this Director Moss to complain on
about his poor teaching!"
The corner of Bernard's mouth twitched slightly, "I was caught in by Director Moss."
His mother, "......"
His father made a few serious inquiries, but there was no answer.
"You've been in here for a few days and that's all they've asked you about?"
Just now, Bernard said the conversation in the interrogation, but the only more sensitive issue was
about Bernard hiring a killer.
"Isn't this a big deal?"
"A full ten days, I've been locked up by these bastards for ten whole days, and they’ve been making
some noise while I'm sleeping. I've been sleep deprived for the past few days, I guess I've lost a full
twenty pounds."
"Damn Crane, and that bitch Flora, they must be the ones who got me into such a mess. If I don't settle
this with them, my last name won't be Scott!"
