“Damn it!” Mike Clark’s anger surged, and he instantly crushed the teacup in his hand.
Tea splashed like rain.
“You are destined to be an ant struggling in the mud, and you dare to think of slaughtering the Clark family?”
“If it weren’t for your father wanting you alive, I would have never spared you because you severely injured Ignatius Clark.”
Mike Clark had investigated Flynn and confirmed that he was indeed a Grandmaster, which was impressive for an ordinary person.
But in the eyes of the Clark family, there was not much difference between a Grandmaster and an ordinary person.
Because the Clark family had three Lesser Sovereigns!
Ignatius Clark’s father, Mike Clark himself, and Paxton Clark’s son were Lesser Sovereigns.
Even Mike Clark’s bodyguards were Grandmasters. In their eyes, Flynn was nothing more than an ant.
Matteo Kaur quickly persuaded him, “Flynn, I know you have grievances, but since the Clark family is willing to accept you, you should agree to their terms.”
“Or just give them the medical book. It will sever all ties between the two sides.”
The Clark family deserved to die, and Matteo Kaur supported Flynn’s idea of seeking revenge against Paxton Clark and Tessa Watson.
But Flynn didn’t have the strength to confront the Clark family. The Clark family was a formidable enemy, difficult to overthrow.
Paxton Clark and Tessa Watson’s son was a Lesser Sovereign, ranked fourth on the Hidden Dragon Ranking.
He was undoubtedly the number one prodigy in Slatin.
He could even compete with the top talents in Eahta!
It was said that he was currently in seclusion, and who knew what achievements he would reach in the future?
Stellan Wallace, an Adept at the level of Grandmaster was enough to make the Wallace family’s reputation resonate throughout in Shipmeda State.
Paxton Clark and Tessa Watson’s son, the prodigy, elevated the Clark family’s reputation to be on par with the noble families of Eahta.
And he was only 26 years old!
Of course, all of this was thanks to Adrianna Noble’s divine formula. But the fact remained that he was a Lesser Sovereign.
Furthermore, Paxton Clark’s two younger brothers were both high-ranking officers. One served as a deputy commander under Yves Yancey in the Northern Territory, while the other was head of the Hourglass Army in Slatin.
How could Flynn be a match for them?
How could he even have the strength to wipe out the Clark family?
It was understandable that he held resentment, but he shouldn’t overestimate himself. Expressing unrealistic dreams would only make a fool of himself.
“You want my medical book?” Flynn sneered. “Just one medical book will make the Clark family swarm at me like flies. It seems I overestimated the Clark family.”
“Paxton Clark is such a coward. Does he not have the balls to face me?”
“Fine, if you want a medical book, let him bring Tessa Watson’s head and kneel before me!”
“That way, I can give the younger generation of the Clark family a chance to survive. I will only wipe out your generation.”
Mike Clark laughed.
In his eyes, Flynn’s rage and incompetence were nothing but a joke.
It was like an ant cursing at the sky. Would the sky get angry because of it? No, it would simply ignore it because it wasn’t worth paying attention to.
“Since you’re so disdainful of the Clark family, why do you still carry that surname?” Mike Clark sneered with disdain in his words.
Flynn shrugged indifferently. “You don’t want me to use that surname? Fine, I’ll change my name.”
“In fact, I already changed it.”
“Oh? What name did you change it to?” Mike Clark asked with a hint of mockery.
“Lord Valerian Nox!”
“Lord Valerian Nox?” Mike Clark suddenly sat up straight, his gaze sharpened, and he burst into laughter.
“Mr. Kaur, did Flynn suffer any head injuries during his time in Niarak?”
“Did you notice any abnormalities after he was released from prison?”
On his way to Niarak, he learned about Lord Valerian Nox killing Jack Jenkins.
He regretted not coming to Niarak a few hours earlier.
After all, such a battle was rare.
Based on some information he had gathered, Lord Valerian Nox was undoubtedly a Greater Sovereign-a god-like figure who had become a living legend overnight. Even people in Slatin discussed this matter with others.
Everyone believed that Lord Valerian Nox’s realm was on par with Yves Yancey’s.
If Lord Valerian Nox hadn’t made that announcement, warning people not to approach Jade Dragon Mountain or they would die, Mike Clark would have gone to Jade Dragon Mountain and paid his respects.
After all, befriending a Greater Sovereign would greatly benefit the Clark family.
Now this rebellious brat dared to share Lord Valerian Nox’s name?
Was he out of his mind?
It wasn’t surprising that Mike Clark didn’t believe it. Ten years ago, Flynn was just an ordinary person who didn’t even know how to throw a punch. How could he possibly be a Greater Sovereign?
Matteo Kaur sighed and couldn’t help but shake his head.
Since being released from prison, Flynn had become quite reckless.
The change was obvious. Matteo Kaur had analyzed its cause and suspected it had something to do with Flynn spending ten years in prison-
Getting beaten up was commonplace in that environment. It was not unlike that, to intimidate others, Flynn had to exaggerate his own abilities over time until it became a habit.
Now facing people from the Clark family, he wanted to use this tactic again by impersonating Lord Valerian Nox to intimidate them.
It was similar to when a kid boasted about knowing martial arts or having connections with senior students when facing bullying from his classmates during school days-a form of self-protection.
However, Matteo Kaur wished that Flynn really was Lord Valerian Nox because then, he would truly have the power to wipe out the Clark family as he desired and to avenge Adrianna Noble’s death.
Forget it… Matteo Kaur felt proud enough that Flynn had become a Grandmaster anyway.
If both sides could reach a compromise, Flynn would live comfortably in Niarak.
Adrianna Noble could also rest in peace.
Seeing Matteo Kaur’s expression, Mike Clark became even more certain of his suspicions.
“Alright then, call yourself whatever you want. I don’t mind if you keep using the Clark family’s surname,” Mike Clark said coldly.
“I came here this time just to deliver a message from your father. He will come personally soon.”
“Alright, Mr. Kaur, the flowers you’ve planted are beautiful. I hope I can enjoy various varieties of chrysanthemums every time I visit in the future.”
Mike Clark stood up as if preparing to leave.
He came here just to test Flynn’s attitude and as expected, this kid was filled with hatred.
For the sake of obtaining the medical book, Mike Clark suppressed his anger. After all, for five years now, they had treated Adrianna Noble with respect just so she would reveal her secrets about her family fortune.
Taking some insults from Flynn wasn’t a big deal as long as they could get their hands on that medical book.
However, Matteo Kaur looked confused and asked curiously, “Every time you come?”
He didn’t want any further contact with the Clark family. Mike Clark’s words caught him off guard.
Mike Clark paused for a moment before turning around with a smile. “Mr. Kaur, don’t be afraid. When I come here in the future, it won’t be about grudges. Next year, I will assume command as General Commander of Shipmeda State Military Region, taking over Adam Davies’ position.”
“This way, I can come often to appreciate various varieties of chrysanthemums at the Kaur family.”
Both Mike Clark and Adam Davies held lieutenant general ranks.
But Mike Clark’s rank was lower than Adam Davies’.
Adam Davies commanded 80 thousand soldiers stationed in Shipmeda State, while Mike Clark commanded 30 thousand people as head of the Hourglass Army in Slatin.
Blade Special Forces had ranked last for three consecutive years. The Imperial Center authorities were dissatisfied not only with Brandon Pearce but also with Adam Davies.
If Blade Special Forces couldn’t make any achievements this year, then Adam Davies would definitely be transferred from Shipmeda State.
Adam Davies and Mike Clark would switch positions.
If that happened, then the Clark family would have two military region commanders-one primary and one deputy-and their influence would rise even further.
Mike Clark had great confidence in this transfer.
After all, this year was an election year where ten prodigies from each military region were selected for Camp Auston.
Each military region utilized their connections to improve their special forces’ strength.
All the military region chief instructors were at the level of Grandmaster or above.
Mike Clark had asked around about Blade Special Forces’ Chief Instructor’s identity, but Shipmeda State Military Region kept it secret.
The reason given was that Blade’s Chief Instructor didn’t want to reveal his name.
Thus, he wanted to visit Blade Special Forces tomorrow to assess the chief instructor’s capabilities.
However, he suspected that this chief instructor might not be particularly formidable. After all, anyone who became a chief instructor of special forces would typically publicize it far and wide!
Because it was an honor.
Yet, the Shipmeda State Military Region hadn’t made a big fuss about it. This left only two possibilities-either the chief instructor was extraordinary or indifferent to such accolades.
Or, Shipmeda State Military Region simply couldn’t find a presentable chief instructor and used that excuse to save face.
Mike Clark leaned towards the second possibility.
Because Adam Davies was too upright and offended a senior member of the Dragonguard.
Both were soldiers. The senior member of the Dragonguard didn’t say anything publicly, but those in the upper circle of the martial world were aware of the relationship between that senior member and Adam Davies, hence no one dared to take the position of Blade Special Forces’s chief instructor.
This was also why the Blade Special Forces had been unable to find a decent chief instructor for three consecutive years.
Only some uninformed minor martial arts figures would dare to take on this role, like Sullivan Cox, who was killed by Flynn…
