"In this situation, no one in the Elder Group dared to force the remaining 24 young elites to fight," said George.Tyson nodded. "Sir, I believe if the Island Nation's Shinto Way appears and challenges the Alliance at this time, it means they've come with preparations. They may have already investigated all the 48 youngsters and know all there is to know about their abilities, personalities, and even weaknesses."They have full confidence they can defeat all 48 of them. Otherwise, the Shinto Way wouldn't have acted like this, especially when the Islanders have failed during the conflicts with our country in the last few times. Currently, the difference of opinion within the Island Nation is quite great. Some believe they should make peace while some believe they should fight until the bitter end."If the Shinto Way lost, then the diplomatic faction within the Island Nation will be at an advantage. That's why the Shinto Way cannot afford to lose the challenge this time. If we conside
"No, we mustn't! The Shinto Way is the leader of the Six Schools of Martial Arts from the Island Nation. I heard the Shinto Way have recorded many of their murderous techniques that originated during the Warring States Period, and they're the only school recognized by the Island Nation's royal family."I have also heard that the school's techniques, if fully mastered, would even allow them to communicate with the spirits of the Island Nation. It's not wise for us to oppose a school like this, so we shouldn't accept the next challenge!"Not to mention, they're fully prepared while we're completely caught off guard. How are we supposed to win? I've also checked the 24 elites that have fought earlier. They're either from the training grounds or martial arts families, but every one of them is the best among the youths in our country—but they didn't even survive one round!"How are we supposed to fight in this situation? How can we even attempt to win the fight?" Deep inside the Songst
"Of course, it's possible that we will lose it all if we accept the challenge. We may ruin the Martial Arts Alliance's reputation. However, at least we dared to face the challenge head-on. "So what if we lose? At least we've let them know that we are courageous! But if we refuse to accept their challenge, we will only be known for our cowardice whenever someone speaks of this in the future."If the Islanders spread the news through the international community, not only will the Alliance be humiliated, but even the entire country won't be able to escape the infamy. We can't lose the respect and glory the people and warriors of our country fought for just because the Alliance refuses to fight. "Not to mention, the reason the Martial Arts Alliance was formed in the first place is to let the world know the power of our country's martial arts so we can go one step further. But if we don't even have the bravery to accept the challenge from an Islander, what right do we have to call ours
When Prince heard Madden's self-righteous speech, he replied coldly, "You make it sound like you're in the right, but have you ever thought of one thing? Once the pride of our country's martial arts community has been broken, we won't have any chance to have our revenge anymore. We should learn from our mistakes and fight the good fight. There's no future in begging for mercy!""Enough! No more talking!" Gaspar said when he saw the Elder Group once again falling into turmoil.As the seneschal of the Martial Arts Alliance, Gaspar was a veteran within the Alliance. He was greatly respected among his peers. All sides would need to show him some respect. When he started speaking, everyone else turned to look at him.Compared to his usual prideful self, Gaspar looked a little tired today. They could even see a faint mark on his face. However, no one mentioned anything about it. There was no need to expose everything under the sun.Gaspar didn't care what the others were thinking. He fel
At Zimmer’s Villa in Niumhi. It was beaming with lights. That night was Senior Zimmer’s seventieth birthday party, and it was filled with numerous guests. All of his children and grandchildren presented him with gifts and said in unison, “We wish that Senior Zimmer is always blessed with good health and long life.” Senior Zimmer appeared quite rosy and energetic as he sat on his chair. He replied, “Good. All of you are indeed quite obedient. I’m very happy today, so I’ll grant each and everyone of you a wish! Just tell me what you want.” “Grandpa, I want an apartment near the ocean. It’s not expensive and it’s only over a million dollars…” “Grandpa, I want a Chanel limited edition bag…” “Grandpa, I want a BMW sports car…” “Grandpa, I want a Rolex watch…” “...” “Fine. I’ll grant every one of your wishes!” Senior Zimmer gave them his promise without any hesitation. The young children who asked for the gifts were overjoyed. They nearly kneeled down on the floor in gratitude. Lo
“It’s a message from the Yorks.” Harvey frowned slightly. The Yorks was the most influential family in South Light. At first, Harvey had been the rightful heir. But three years ago, somebody in the family wrongly accused him and claimed that he had embezzled the company’s funds. Therefore, his identity as their heir was eliminated.The entire York family had the same opinion and Harvey was disowned instantly. Furthermore, his parents were directly sent abroad and he had never met them since. “Bullsh*t! The truth is I have nothing but only twenty dollars in my pocket. The family needs financial support. What's the point of looking for me?”As he was thinking about that, he received another message on his phone. “Sir, I’m begging you now. Please help us! Didn’t you purchase some stocks of a gold mine three years ago? Recently, someone found that there’s a great amount of gold in that gold mine. Now, the stock price of that gold mine has increased tremendously!”“Now, the company’s fu
Half an hour later, Harvey reached Mandy’s company. As he was about to enter through the entrance, a bodyguard stopped him with a stun baton all of a sudden. The bodyguard said coldly, “Get lost! We don’t welcome beggars here.”Harvey had just woken up, and he did not manage to clean himself up first. Besides, he was wearing a T-shirt and a pair of shorts with patches all over them. He did seem just like a beggar by the road. However, Harvey was used to that kind of thing. He smiled and said, “Mister, I’m here to send a document to my wife.”“Do you have a wife given the way you look?” The bodyguard was suspicious. “Is it the cleaning lady—Zara or the worker who works at the back kitchen—Lily?” “My wife is Mandy,” said Harvey.The bodyguard was stunned. Soon, he broke into laughter. “I see. You’re the son-in-law of the Zimmers.” He could not cease laughing. Harvey shook his head. It never occurred to him that he was quite famous.“That’s enough. Hand me the document. Miss Zi
“An explanation? Why should I give you an explanation?” Harvey said coldly. “First, Mandy is my wife. Please stay away from her. If you want to make a scene, go someplace else!“Second, if my wife loves roses, I’ll buy them for her! She’s so gorgeous. How could such plain and cheap things suit her? I’ll send her the roses from Prague tonight itself!” “What the f*ck! Are you mentally retarded or just plain stupid? One rose from Prague costs more than a thousand dollars. I heard that you were asking for a scooter from Senior Zimmer yesterday. You’re just a good-for-nothing. Even if you sell your kidney out, you couldn’t even afford to buy one of those. Why are you so daring, putting up a show here?” Don appeared cold. He enjoyed a privileged status in York Enterprise. ‘How can a son-in-law like him talk to me like this?’ Besides, the thing which infuriated him the most was the incident in which Harvey smashed his flowers and dragged Mandy into the elevator. ‘What the hell did the
