"Why?" Barrett Walker's eyes were devoid of emotion, deep like a black hole, as he gazed at the loving family of three, calmly inquiring.
"No reason, just because you're a bastard?" Jadon Walker had never imagined that Barrett Walker would grow so quickly in just a few months. He had always thought he was the one who had taken over the name of the genius Morton Walker, and indeed he had. But everything changed after Barrett Walker graduated high school. He received a special invitation to the Academy of War, even personally written by Principal Danus Leo. And at the birthday banquet of the War God, he stole the spotlight, with so many people not leaving him. Thinking of the past, he felt a suffocating sensation in his chest, unable to speak. But despite the terrifying appearance of Barrett Walker, he couldn't help but want to say these words.
"Jadon Walker!" Morton Walker turned around and glared at Jadon Walker fiercely. Wasn't he just adding fuel to the fire with that statement?
"Is that so?" Barrett Walker took a step forward, holding the sword of life and death, walking towards the happy family of three.
"Barrett, I hope you don't act impulsively," Morton Walker hastily advised, his demeanor far from that of a former flamboyant five-star general. At this moment, he seemed more like a powerless weakling.
"Barrett Walker, you bastard. If you dare to kill us, come on! I'm not afraid of you." At this point, the Greene family had completely lost its authority to the Mas Walker, even Matthew Greene couldn't say a word in the House of Commons. At this moment, Laura Walker couldn't be as she used to be, watching her husband plead with their son in a low, submissive tone. Her feelings of shame were overshadowed by anger towards Barrett Walker. How could this lowly man, this cast-out bastard, have achieved what he had today?
Barrett Walker swung the sword of life and death, the black light streaking towards Laura Walker standing in front. It touched her skin, but Morton Walker quickly pulled her back, just in time to dodge the black light. However, Laura Walker's chest was cut open by the black light, the snowy white skin turning red, and no matter how she tried to stop the bleeding, it continued. What was even more agonizing was the feeling of countless ants crawling and biting at the wound, causing unbearable pain. "Barrett, you little bastard. Your mother was not a good person at the time, and you are not a good person. Dare to lay a hand on me, and you will not have a good death..."
At this moment, Laura Walker's painful expression was filled with intense hatred, so much so that she seemed ready to tear Barrett Walker apart. This drew the attention of the onlookers, and Barrett Walker became a celebrity in the university city.
"What's going on? It seems like this woman is Barrett Walker's stepmother! I never thought she would be so young and beautiful."
"Huh! How could this man be so familiar, but he's quite lucky to marry such a young and beautiful woman. But she's a bit too fierce, as the saying goes, a whore in bed and a lady in public. Hmph! I wonder what kind of person he is!"
"Hmph! You men only know about these things, but I never thought Barrett Walker had such a young and beautiful stepmother. But it seems like their relationship is not very good! This woman is too fierce, probably Barrett Walker had enough of her abuse in the past! Otherwise, he wouldn't have made such a ruthless move."
"But the dry wooden stick in Barrett Walker's hand should be no simple object! Just now, when he swept it, the terrifying black light was something to behold, and all this mess was caused by that black light."

"No way! I always thought Barrett Walker was using this dry stick as a form of performance art! I never thought it was actually some extraordinary weapon!"
Listening to Laura's harsh insults, Barrett whispered to Morton Walker, "Please control your barking mother. I don't want to hear these grating voices again!"
"Wow! Barrett Walker is so cool. This is exactly how you should respond to such a spiteful stepmother. I swear, from now on, I want to marry someone like Barrett Walker."
"Go away! You rotten girl, even if you marry Barrett Walker, don't even think about offering yourself to him!" Laura Walker's face looked extremely ugly, bearing the pain of her wounds and the humiliation of being attacked by so many people. Once a proud woman, she had now fallen to such a lowly state. How dare these lowly commoners speak against her! She glared at the people around her with hatred, then turned to Morton Walker and said, "Morton Walker, are you going to let him bully us, your mother and sister?"
Barrett Walker looked at Morton Walker and, although he had long stopped considering him as his father, he found himself softening at that moment on campus. He realized that he had been yearning for his biological father and still held some affection for him. But now, after hearing his true intentions and seeing him drive away in that Ferrari, the pent-up anger inside of him erupted. Did he really need to bring Laura Walker and Jaden Walker here to show off and provoke him?
"Mm! Is this really necessary? This is not what I wanted, but so be it!" Morton Walker took a step forward, released the hands of Jaden Walker and Laura Walker, and made a sudden move that seemed like a thunderclap to the onlookers. This was the might of a five-star general, and the air within that small circle of spectators seemed to be sucked dry.
Bang! The two collided, and Morton Walker's palms struck Barrett Walker's chest with a force greater than that of a speeding heavy truck. Barrett Walker was sent flying, coughing up blood as his chest bone deformed. He fell into the Academy of War Gods, and the severity of the injury would have killed an ordinary person. But Barrett Walker got up, spat out a mouthful of blood, and with a mouth full of blood, he laughed and waved at Morton Walker.
"Don't go! Is this the Academy of War Gods?" Laura Walker grabbed Morton Walker.
"It's okay!" Morton Walker stepped into the Academy of War Gods, turned to the followers, and said, "Do you really think my blow earlier was so easy? It's because Barrett Walker didn't want to hurt you!"
"Well! Really? His skills are so good. I thought Barrett Walker was seriously injured when he was coughing up blood earlier. I didn't expect that he didn't want to attack us. Alright, based on his intentions, we'll watch from a distance, brothers!"
"Oh my! My little darling, I didn't expect him to have such a gentle side. It must be because he didn't want me to get hurt, which is why he was attacked by this despicable guy. And this malicious woman! She even thought we were going to join forces to attack them. Hmph! How dare they! My little darling can take care of you all!"
"Disgusting. Here's your little darling..."
"You're still so arrogant!" Barrett Walker had a smile on his face, continuously spitting out blood. "That blow just now was my way of repaying you for your nurturing, the final favor!"
"This is also a way of repaying you." Morton Walker said calmly, as if he were speaking to someone unimportant. Even though Barrett Walker had said what he did, it didn't stir any ripples in his calm heart.
Barrett Walker thrust the Sword of Life and Death forward, seemingly plain and ordinary. But facing this sword, Morton Walker felt as though he were facing countless demons and monsters that were constantly devouring his heart. He shook his head to dispel the fear that had arisen from the depths of his heart, clenched his fist, and suddenly found a long sword in his hand, the Tai-A sword. This was a sword of righteousness, and as he drew the sword, a surge of sword energy instantly dispersed the deathly aura emanating from the Sword of Life and Death.
With a thunderous roar, amidst a sky full of sword energy, Barrett Walker lunged to the left and struck again. The incredibly sharp sword energy, under Barrett Walker's life-and-death sword, shattered like fragile ice pillars, resonating with the crisp sound of cracking throughout the sky.
The destined battle of these two men in this lifetime officially erupted today. Morton Walker showed no mercy, unleashing the full power of the Tai-A sword, while Barrett Walker's life-and-death sword in his hands seemed calm on the surface but contained the power to destroy everything within.
