Although he knew that Claire and Jack were supposed to be with Maria, he was still very worried. After all, Claire was just a defenseless girl, while Jack was an ordinary musclehead. In his current state, he might not be able to withstand a single blow from an ancient martial arts master.

If Maria and the others really began a conflict with the ancient martial artist, someone might get hurt and wounded.

“No, please. Let them be safe. Don’t let anyone be injured or killed. Please!"

When he was about to reach the mountainside, Francis finally saw the pavilion that Jessie had mentioned over the phone. Then, from afar, he notice four people up there.

One of them was a bald man, who was obviously the Level two martial artist that defeated the leader of the security team.

At this time, Francis could only see the bald man's back as he was walked steadily towards Maria.

Then, as Francis watched the entire scene, his eyes widened.

He saw several broken tree trunks and huge rocks near the pavilion.

From what he could see, there were traces of fighting everywhere!

But what confused him the most was that Maria, Claire, and Jack seemed to be safe and unscathed.

Their clothes were still neat, as if they had nothing to do with the mess around them.

Finally, the bald man stopped in front of Maria. Looking at the close distance between the two, Francis was about to shout that Maria should be careful with that guy.

However, the next second, before Francis could speak, the actions of the bald man shocked the poor director. He actually knelt down in front of Maria!

"Mercy! Please forgive me, Miss Jenkins. It's all my fault. I didn't know better. I'm such a stupid idiot! Please forgive me this time

Grover begged loudly while tears streamed down his manly face. He cried without restraint as if he really feared Maria from the bottom of his heart.

Even Francis, who was dozens of meters away, could clearly hear everything that he said.

A level two martial arts warrior was actually bawling his eyes out.

Francis' initial trepidation disappeared at the sound of Grover's wracking sobs.

He found the scene utterly absurd, but he kept his face blank as he walked toward Maria.

"Oh, hey, Look who's here! What a surprise!" Maria caught sight of the director and waved at him.

“Maria," Francis nodded and stared straight into her eyes. "What are you guys doing?"

He glanced at the weeping man and was momentarily taken aback by his formidable appearance, what with his shaved head and powerful build.

But the man was crying Like a baby, as if he was no more than an easy target who had been mercilessly bullied.

“What's wrong with him?" Francis muttered under his breath. "Why is he howling Like that?"
