“Don’t you think the demands are a little too cruel, Vice Leader Benett?”Harvey nodded.“If we accept those conditions, all martial artists in Country H will lose their dignity.”“How are we supposed to stand up straight in the future?”“They’re even bringing in supervisors to get a hold of every single one of the Martial Arts Alliance’s files and documents…”“How are we supposed to function on our own in the future?”“Besides, if I actually give them everything I’ve learned, they’ll use it against the Martial Arts Alliance. Next thing we know, they’ll get everything from the sacred martial arts training grounds.”“You’re a smart man, Vice Leader Benett. Can’t you see that the four great Martial Arts Alliances are trying to break us?”Harvey slowly revealed the risks of the demands calmly.There were three conditions targeted toward Harvey, but in actuality, this was just a test.If Country H were to surrender, then the four great Martial Arts Alliances would have ways to ma

“I don’t know what you mean by that.”Harvey had a stern look on his face.“I only know that nobody has the right to make us kneel!”“We’ll never kneel!”“This is the pride of the country’s five-thousand-year history!”“Five-thousand-year history?”Dane laughed again, and sized up Harvey.“I’ve told you everything I wanted to say. Leader Torres should decide what we should do next.”“That said, if you can really do as you say without giving in, I’ll bury the hatchet between us immediately. Hell, I’d mop the floors of your Martial Hall too!”“But if you kneel, I’ll make sure to pay you back for my daughter and son-in-law’s legs…”Dane left with his men, laughing in his wake.Harvey watched curiously as Dane left.He shut the door and smiled at Colton.“You’ve been in this position for a while, Leader Torres. I’m sure you’ve seen everything by now.”“This is nothing at all.”“Nothing at all?”Colton sighed, a horrible look on his face.“This is more than that, Harvey.”

While Harvey was thinking of a way to deal with the four great Martial Arts Alliances…Inside the Osborne family courtyard.Clyde was sitting in a chair, looking at the Holy Mountain far away with a calm expression.For him, the Holy Mountain or the Holy Lake was only good for symbolism’s sake. Aside from that, there were no other uses for them.But if he wanted to rise to power as the master of the Osborne family, he’d need to rely on these things.He had never cared for his country or his people.All he wanted was authority—absolute authority.He was a descendant of both the Osborne family and India’s royal family, after all.“Prince Osborne…”The door behind him was pushed open.Three men and one woman walked in. They were all Indians, and they were quite young as well.They were the Brahmins, the people in India with the most authority.More importantly, they were all trained by elites since childhood.Not only were they gifted, but their fighting skills were extraordi

Harvey looked weirded out.He came to Flutwell a long while ago, but he had never gotten a chance to see Samuel.Yet, Harold called Harvey just for this purpose.Harvey narrowed his eyes as he stared at the villa. Then, a few people showed up.One of them was none other than the long-awaited master of Longmen and the Bauer family, Samuel Bauer.Harvey frowned.“Is the master of Longmen really sick?”“He does have some health complications, but it’s not as serious as people think. He won’t die from it,” Harold replied calmly.“Rumors of him passing away soon had been spreading because he wanted to see which one of the family’s young masters is more suitable to take his position.”“So, it’s a misdirection?” Harvey smiled faintly.Harold’s face paled slightly at those words.“It’s only normal for big families like ours, right?” “Only truly powerful people can keep the family from dying. This is the standard.”“This is why people say that big families are emotionless.”Harve

Harvey thought that while he could still try to play his role as the young master…Samuel would still remain as the master in charge of everything within Longmen.Harvey believed he would be completely unaffected with just an honorary title.Yet, with just a few words, all the responsibility was instantly shifted toward him!Samuel chuckled upon seeing Harvey completely speechless.“Since we had a deal, you can’t go back on your word anymore, Harvey.”“This time, you’re going against the four great Martial Arts Alliances!”“Since this is an underworld affair, Longmen has immense power!”“From now on, every single resource and connection of the organization will be yours to control.”“You don’t represent just yourself anymore.”“You need to fight for Longmen’s reputation!”Harvey sighed.“Enough, old man. Stop provoking me. It’s just a few clowns that I have to deal with, anyway.”There were some connections Harvey didn’t want to use before, and there were calls he didn’t w
