Chapter 39 Metahuman and Martial Artist
Osborne was in the midst of speaking when he suddenly froze.
Isa didn’t dodge; she casually kicked out with lightning speed, so fast that even with Osborne activating Satan’s Eye, he could barely follow the movement.
In an instant, Milo was sent flying.
His body crumpled, bones almost entirely shattered, lying motionless on the ground.
“What did you just say? His strength is great, so I shouldn’t do what?” Isa clapped her hands, questioning Osborne with a puzzled expression.
With his eyes widened in shock, Osborne took a sharp breath.
He had intended to warn Isa not to directly face Milo’s fist, but now he felt it unnecessary because Isa had already incapacitated
Milo.
Osborne thought bitterly to himself, “No wonder when I first saw her, I sensed a threat. Turns out she’s this formidable!”
Isa, unfazed, approached, asking, “Are you both alright?”
Chapter 39 Metahuman and Martial Artist Osborne nodded. “We’re fine.”
Isa grinned. “Not bad! Facing a Class C psychic metahuman alone and managing to make him flee.”
Osborne, surprised, asked, “Class C psychic metahuman?”
Isa nodded. “Melahumans are the chosen ones of this world, classified into various types like psychic, elemental, enhancement, shape–shifting, and more.
“Metahumans range from Class F to S in strength. A Class C metahuman is already a skilled individual, not something at hundred ordinary people could handle.”
Osborne was somewhat speechless. “A skilled individual? So you took him down with one kick? Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
“Are you also a metahuman? What’s your class?”
Isa shrugged. “I’m no metahuman; I’m a martial artist! Martial artists are graded from Class F to S, too.”
“Can martial arts be that powerful?” Osborne was astonished.
Isa rolled her eyes at him. “Why can’t martial arts be that powerful? We martial artists have no lesser potential than metahumans. Despite being a natural–born metahuman, you can’t underestimate martial arts, or you’ll regret it.
“You’ll understand all this in due time.”

Without dwelling further, Isa lifted Milo’s broken body,
remarking, “I happen to be short on test subjects. He’ll do as my test subject. A Class C metahuman, usable at best.”
Osborne’s eyes widened again.
He thought, “Test subject?
What kind of test?
Is Isa truly conducting human research?”
Osborne didn’t delve further, instead asking, “You still haven’t told me your class! Class B? Or A?”
Isa cryptically smiled, “You’ll find out in time.”
With that, she walked away.
“Oh, by the way, I just received news that Clarissa was recently attacked mysteriously. Her bodyguard team suffered significant losses, and she’s likely to be replenishing her security team
soon.”
As Isa disappeared, Osborne’s eyes lit up.
He called out in Isa’s direction, “Thank you!”
The information from Isa was crucial to him, as it would determine the success or failure of the second test.
Clarissa had been attacked before and would be hiring more
Chapter 39 Metahuman and Martial Artist bodyguards soon.
Initially, he was unsure how to remain by Clarissa’s side, but this news gave Osborne a plan.
He would apply to be Clarissa’s bodyguard!
If successful, he could stay close to Clarissa and pass the second test of inheritance.
He thought, “No wonder at the auction, Clarissa’s bodyguards kept everyone at bay, and she swiftly left after purchases. It was due to the attack.
In two days, I can go to the Radcliffe Manor and have lunch with Clarissa. By then, I can find an opportunity to propose becoming her bodyguard.”
Osborne was confident in applying to be Clarissa’s bodyguard.
However, the Godfather’s test was bound to be anything but simple; there would likely be unexpected challenges and dangers Osborne hadn’t foreseen.
“Well, at least I’ve found an opening!” Osborne thought, determined to continue honing The Breath of Celestial.
It was only because of his recent advancements in The Breath of Celestial that his physical prowess had grown immensely. Just days ago, he wouldn’t have stood a chance against Milo.
The Breath of Celestial rapidly enhanced his physical attributes.

The foundation of a martial artist’s strength lay in power, speed, reflexes, and agility.
With continued practice, Osborne could keep getting stronger.
But when he thought of Milo, Osborne’s expression turned cold. He wondered, “Who would hire a metahuman assassin to kill
me?
It can’t be Wesley or Ophelia.
They still need me to get to Clarissa. Even if Wesley wanted me dead, he wouldn’t act until after meeting Clarissa.
That leaves only Justin!”
Osborne snorted derisively. At the Draco Auction House, he had publicly humiliated Justin using his VIP status. Knowing Justin as he did, Osborne was certain of a fierce retaliation from Justin.
“Justin, if you want to play games, then I’ll play along!”
