The Supreme God

After hearing Herbert's news, Austin rushed right over.

On his way there, he had a run in with two monster beasts that were level two, and still arrived just when the Evil Ape Hunting Team was gearing up for some action.

When Austin showed up in front of them, they were all surprised. However, instead of saying anything, they glanced suspiciously at Austin.

They were wary of Austin because his true strength was not known.

It wasn't that long ago that the team had turned away a lot of underachievers who wanted to join.

It made no sense to include weaker members when what they needed were people with real strength.

The consensus was that the only ones qualified to share the earth spirit fruit they would reap were those who showed real strength.

"He's the grunt disciple we met at Beast Mountain!" said Lara.

She was sarcastic when Austin handed the Jade Badge to the mountain keeper.

Even though she hadn't seen him in a long time, and Austin was tanner now, Lara recognized him immediately.

The grunt disciple?

When Lara referred to him like that, everyone else realized who Austin was.

As Austin looked at each of them, he was met with sneering, disdainful and even angry expressions.

The disdain Marvin felt towards Austin wasn't a secret as he said sarcastically, "Boy! What do you think we're here for? To play some game? We're going to kill the diabolic beast! The diabolic beast! Do you even know what that is? Huh? Aren't you afraid those evil apes will finish you with one bite?"

Marvin glared scornfully at Austin.

"Get out of here! Go fuck yourself and leave us alone!" snapped William angrily while he waved his huge palm in Austin's direction, dismissively.

Ralf stared at Austin coldly but didn't speak. Mindy and the others scoffed at Austin too.
