Chapter 60 - Teamwork (1/2)

Jason was just moving his hand as he tries to break free from the grand elder grip but whenever he tries to, the grip would be tightened. Gritting his teeth as he tries to endure the pain, Jason stomps his foot on the ground as he tries to attack the grand elder toe but fails in the process.

”What's the problem, I thought you were the one attacking so how come you are struggling now” asked the grand elder with a smile on his face.

”You are really a pain in the ass old man, why don't you let go and see if you will be able to catch my fist again” replied Jason with an angry look.

”You must be joking if you think you will be able to beat me in a fight” said the grand elder with a light chuckle.

”Why don't you let go of my fist and see for yourself? '' replied Jason with a smile.

After the grand elder has let go of the fist, the first thing that Jason did was to create distance between them before rubbing his wrist that has gone sore from the grand elder's grip.

Looking at the grand elder who has a smile on his face, Jason couldn't help but feel annoyed as he turned to look at his surroundings in search of what he can use against the grand elder and that is when he saw Austin sitting on the rooftop with a hand in his cheek and that is when a cunning smile could be seen crawling into his face and the elder seeing this let out a sigh as he mutter.

”This kid, what must he be thinking for him to be smiling”.

”Grand elder since I can't even lay a finger on your robe I guess that you are getting bored already so why not let Austin join in the fight to make it more interesting” said Jason with a smile.

When Austin heard Jason's suggestion, he was so determined that he quickly jumped down from the rooftop as he worked towards them while waiting for the grand elder to give his response.

”If you are thinking of teaming with Austin then I am afraid that I won't be able to pay you” replied the grand elder.

”Don't worry, I promise to pay you tomorrow since I don't have enough spirit stones with me” said Austin when he saw Jason hesitating.

”I see you willing want to have a spar with me” commented the grand elder with a chuckle.

”Now that the issue with my money is settled, are we good to ask?” asked Jason with a smile.

”Very well, besides I want to see what the both of you could do together as a team” replied the grand elder as he began to stroke his beard.

”Hope you are not going to return your realm to the way it used to be” asked Jason.

”It won't be exciting if I were to do that right” replied the grand elder before gesturing for them to come at him.

Being excited that he finally have a spar with the grand elder, Austin rush forward as he threw a powerful punch at the grand elder who lifted his hand to deflect the attack which wasn't easy as he was pushed back by the force behind the punch and before he could think of standing his ground, Jason was already standing behind him as he executes the iron fist technique but was not able to land a hit on the grand elder as he moves out of the way leaving Jason's attack to land on the ground.

”Dammit I can't believe he was able to escape from that move” said Jason in annoyance.

”Haha, looks like you are too slow, and yet you won't stop calling me old when I am even faster than you” said the grand elder in laughter.

”We'll see about that, Austin lend me a hand” replied Jason as run towards the grand elder.

Austin decided to attack from the side just as they did with the horned leopard but unfortunately for them, they are dealing with the grand elder. Before they could get close to where the grand elder was standing, he had already made his move as he went for Austin who seemed to be very troublesome. Throwing a fist at Austin who quickly rolled to the side but felt a stingy pain in his back.

'That's impossible, I was not hit so how come I was suddenly injured' thought Austin.
