For Flynn, swatting Braiden and Maximo was no different from swatting two bugs.
But he wanted to eradicate the roots, to show the world through the deaths of Maximo and Braiden that he was not to be trifled with, and neither was his woman!
Therefore, the bigger the commotion, the better.
However, upon hearing Flynn’s words, Molly and her two companions panicked.
Braiden was one thing.
But Maximo was the leader of the Niarak branch of the Eight Extremities School!
Killing him was tantamount to declaring war on the entire Eight Extremities School!
The tens of thousands of disciples of the Eight Extremities School would fight him relentlessly.
Flynn was a Great Grandmaster, but could he stand against ten thousand alone?
The Eight Extremities School had thirty-eight Grandmasters!
And even more, two hundred Semi-Grandmasters!
The school’s leader, Ronald, was a mid-level Great Grandmaster currently in seclusion, pushing for the peak. His power was terrifying, mighty as a demigod!
To the three women, Flynn’s actions seemed suicidal.
“Flynn, I know you’re angry, but this isn’t something you can handle alone.”
“The power of the Eight Extremities School is too vast, you can’t win, please, let it go!” Scarlet urgently pleaded.
Molly added, “Flynn, I know your martial arts skills are strong, ten of me wouldn’t compare, but still not enough to contend with the entire Eight Extremities School.”
“We should think this through more carefully!”
“Let me contact my grandfather, let him speak with the higher-ups of the Eight Extremities School, I’m sure they will discipline Maximo for the sake of the Spencer family’s face!”
Rose struggled to get up from Molly’s side, weakly saying, “I’m lucky to have your protection, the Sharp family is grateful for everything you’ve done.”
“Although my father once saved your life, you’ve done enough for the Sharp family, there’s no need to risk your life for me.”
“Let’s drop this matter…”
Despite her reluctance and a strong desire to personally slay Braiden and Maximo right then,
The reality was clear; even if Flynn sought revenge for them, it would only end in failure.
And there was a real chance Flynn could be killed, something she absolutely didn’t want to see.
“Let it go? Drop it?” Flynn scoffed coldly, his eyes dark and emitting a chilling green glow, he said icily:
“If you’re truly my friends, then we can’t just let this go!”
“Rest assured, if I decide to kill them, not even all the gods in heaven can stop me!”
On the other end of the phone, hearing Flynn’s words, Maximo burst into laughter, his tone filled with a deadly threat:
“Flynn, those two Semi-Grandmasters you killed at the Kendal residence were friends of Vincent.”
“Today’s kidnapping was his doing alone, we only just found out about it.”
“If you insist on pinning this on me, I’ve got nothing to say.”
“Since you’re looking for a fight, I, Maximo, will accompany you to the end!”
“Midnight, is it? I’ll be waiting!”
He said this not out of fear of Flynn, but to create an illusion for the public.
His underlings caused trouble without his knowledge, he advised them to stop, but since Flynn insisted on trouble, he had no choice but to fight.
If he ended up killing Flynn, it would be in self-defense, and no one could blame him.
After killing Flynn, Maximo could further slander Rose, accusing her of inciting Flynn to cause trouble at the Eight Extremities School.
Then, using this incident to settle scores with the Sharp’s Group, collaborating with the three-family alliance to divide up the Sharp’s Group!
At the Niarak branch of the Eight Extremities School.
Hall of Gathering.
After closing the intercom, Maximo squinted his eyes and dialed a number.
“Caspian, go check out Northview, see what’s really going on!”
Soon after, a call came in.
“Mr. Goff, we’ve found out! The ones who went up the mountain were from the National Security Bureau!”
“They were apparently targeting that group of foreigners! All have been killed and they’re now bringing down the bodies.”
Maximo’s lips curled into a sneer, a scornful laugh escaping him: “I knew it! The Black Mamba squad is so capable, how could they not handle a Flynn?”
“It turns out they just ran into the National Security Bureau!”
“Mr. Swanson, the people you hired are unreliable, how did you manage to draw the National Security Bureau?”
Braiden shook his head, visibly distressed: “I posted the reward on the Dark Web, I didn’t know they were already on the National Security Bureau’s radar.”
“Flynn is one tough bastard; if it hadn’t been for the National Security Bureau meddling, he would definitely be dead!”
The two of them waited at the entrance for news, unclear about the details concerning Northview.
In their view, Flynn was undoubtedly doomed this time.
They couldn’t believe that even with a joint effort, they hadn’t managed to kill him!
Maximo was stunned for a few seconds when he heard the news that Flynn was still alive.
He thought that Flynn wasn’t just a mid-level Grandmaster, but very likely a Great Grandmaster.
After all, to dodge bullets and successfully enter the building, one had to be at least a Great Grandmaster.
But Maximo didn’t panic.
The Eight Extremities School had thirty-eight Grandmasters and nearly two hundred Semi-Grandmasters; killing one Great Grandmaster was no cause for fear!
Unexpectedly, the “fact” was not so; the National Security Bureau was pursuing the Black Mamba organization and inadvertently helped Flynn.
This made them even less afraid of Flynn.
Braiden also laughed.
At the Kendal family gathering, Flynn defeated three Semi-Grandmasters in succession. Maximo thought Flynn was a mid-level Grandmaster, slightly stronger than himself.
But if he wanted to continue collaborating with Lilia, he couldn’t elevate Flynn’s Martial Arts status.
After all, if Lilia realized that Flynn’s Martial Arts were stronger than his own, she would definitely look down on him and seek a more formidable expert.
This way, Maximo wouldn’t be able to benefit from the alliance of three families.
So, when inviting Braiden and Lilia to discuss the kidnapping of Rose, Maximo played a trick on them-
At the Kendal family gathering, because the match with Flynn was decided in three rounds, and Flynn won against three Semi-Grandmasters, he couldn’t challenge Flynn anymore.
Otherwise, it would damage his reputation.
Hence, everyone in the alliance thought Flynn was just an initial-stage Grandmaster.
In Braiden’s view, Flynn, an initial-stage Grandmaster, coming to kill Maximo at the Eight Extremities School branch was simply suicidal!
This time, Flynn was surely doomed!
“Mr. Goff, you are on the same level as Flynn, and you have five Semi-Grandmasters under your command, so shall we just sit here and wait for Flynn to walk into our trap?” After clearing everything up, Braiden laughed genuinely.
Maximo waved his hand, his eyes revealing a trace of coldness: “Mr. Swanson should be aware of the situation at the Niarak branch. After Mr. Powell’s death, I was invited by Miss Hussain to join Niarak.”
“Although I brought over a dozen guest masters, Kendal’s people still don’t respect me.”
“Even though I managed to bribe a group of Kendal’s guest masters last time, Kendal still resists.”
“I heard she went to the Alwood Mountains these past few days, wanting to invite her five sisters to confront me.”
“I initially wanted to make peace with her, but this woman won’t accept any goodwill.”
“Also, those big bosses at Orion, whenever a new branch master arrives, which one of them doesn’t come to celebrate?”
“But currently, I haven’t seen a single one.”
“It’s really distressing!”
Braiden nodded in agreement: “Kendal is indeed too much, Mr. Goff has been sincerely reaching out, and yet she constantly thinks of driving you away, even collaborating actively with Rose.”
“She deserves punishment! We must teach them a lesson!”
“And Orion, they’ve indeed become a bit too arrogant lately.”
“It’s time to remind them of their place.”
“You’re right,” Maximo said with a cold smile, slowly standing up, his eyes suddenly narrowing with an unmatched aura of authority:
“In these years, I’ve been doing the work of a proper businessman, and perhaps people have forgotten who I am.”
“Ten years ago, who dared to defy me?”
“Now, even a woman dares to ride over my head, not taking me seriously!”
“They think because I wear a suit, I’ve laid down my butcher’s knife?”
“They think because I appear calm and benevolent, I’m easy to bully?”
“I’m going to use Flynn to tell the whole of Niarak, even the entire Shipmeda State, that I, Maximo, am still as formidable as ever, even more terrifying than before!”
“And to show everyone what happens to those who challenge me!”
“Send the orders down! If I, Maximo, face trouble in Niarak, regardless of other powers or the Eight Extremities School, anyone who has benefited from my favor or considers me a friend should immediately gather at the Niarak branch!”
“I want the whole of Niarak to know that I am the true king here!”
