There was a deathly silence.Every martial artist present, particularly the family heads, though loath to admit it, found themselves forced to face the truth.Fred was the living legend, the Lord of the Warlord World, the Revered Great One.Just by letting his presence be felt, he had them all kneeling, powerless to offer even the slightest resistance!Just as Fred had claimed, he could have wiped them out in an instant if he wanted to, and they would be utterly defenseless!This revelation brought a new dilemma to light.Their prior vigilance, their audacity in demanding answers from Fred, stemmed from Josiah's claim that Fred was implicated in the death of his father, Johannes.This Martial Arts Summit was turning out to be nothing more than Fred's elaborate ruse to eradicate all their martial artist families in one fell swoop!The thing was, Fred had just shown them he could squash them like bugs if he wanted to—no muss, no fuss. If he decided to go all out, they would be to

Where was Josiah on the night of Johannes' demise? What was he doing?The room tensed up at Gustavo's probing question. The gathered family heads exchanged uneasy glances. Gustavo's insinuation was clear—was he casting doubt on Josiah? Josiah's face twisted into a snarl as he shot back, "What are you getting at? You suspect I had something to do with this?""I wouldn't call it suspicion," Gustavo said, his smile thinning. "It's just peculiar that, according to you, Johannes' death happened in the wee hours of today, yet everyone knows he was killed around eight last night. Care to explain?"The revelation hung heavy in the air. Elder Master Johannes was killed at eight? The confusion was palpable as everyone tried to piece together the truth. They had all rushed here after hearing Josiah's heart-wrenching cries at dawn. They had been in the main hall ever since, seeking answers.It made no sense. Gustavo, who had been in their company the whole time, could not possibly have known w

Surveilance?The initially confident Josiah was left stunned by Gustavo's words.The warlord world was never an isolated place.Just because it was located on Mount Everence—a place almost impossible for ordinary people to set foot here—the warlords had never rejected the convenience of earthly technology.For example, mobile phones and computers were used by warlords all the time.However, CCTVs were rarely used.Firstly, warlords had different senses than ordinary people. They did not need surveillance cameras to protect themselves.More importantly, all warlord gentries had inherited customs. Although these customs were not extreme to the point where it was solely passed down to their own men and never passed down to others, these families still had their best-kept secrets.Hence, after Johannes' death, a normal person would immediately check the surveillance records to see what happened, but none of the warlords present would think of that.Their initial plan was to rely o

"Mr. Jeremiah is indeed highly resourceful and intelligent!"At the same time, somewhere in the warlord world…The enchanting woman covered her face with her hands and giggled as she glanced at Jeremiah as they walked side by side.Marshal nodded with great satisfaction and said, "Let those nobodies be suspicious of each other and kill each other, haha! This is much more convenient than trying to imprison them! It's just...”As he spoke, Marshal took a deep look at Jeremiah and said, "The head of the Terras would even resort to getting rid of his own father in order to achieve great things. This was something I never expected!""Haha, to be honest, I didn't want to either!"Jeremiah was obviously caught off guard, but he quickly snorted coldly. "However, that old guy is incorrigible—everyone knows that! Rather than letting the Terras be destroyed under his stubbornness, it would be better to sacrifice my father's life and take a leap of faith! Mr. Fletcher, you won’t let me down,

"Why… Why are they here?"As the group of people appeared in the distance, Josiah's face was filled with astonishment and disbelief.The group of people who appeared was not just Gustavo and Quinton, but also the heads of the Eight Great Warlord Gentries!"Idiot!"Jeremiah recognized these old acquaintances at a glance and immediately scolded his brother fiercely. "You didn’t even know you were followed? What are you good for? ""I..."Josiah wanted to explain, but Jeremiah would not listen. He just cursed and walked away, then turned his attention to the group who were slowly approaching."Mr. Jeremiah, what are you doing here?"As soon as they came up, Nikolai, the head of the Parkers, asked with a cold snort."Me? Do I, the head of the Terras, need to report my movements to the head of the Parkers? Besides, the Terras have been kicked out of the ranks of the Eight Warlord Gentries. You can hold your Martial Arts Summit, while I’m just hanging out here. Is there something wr
