The battle ended.
Blade Special Forces successfully took down Mike Clark, making Adam Davies proud.
And they didn’t embarrass Flynn!
“We won!”
“We are invincible!”
“It’s not that we are invincible. It’s that General Instructor Clark is invincible! Long live General Instructor Clark!”
The Blade Special Forces members cheered and looked at Flynn with even more fiery gazes.
However, Flynn glanced at the time and expressed disappointment, saying, “I said ten minutes, but it took seven seconds longer. Pathetic!”
Upon hearing this, Mike Clark almost choked on his own blood. This seemingly belittling remark about Blade Special Forces was actually mocking Mike Clark.
After all, he was a Lesser Sovereign, the commander of the Hourglass Army! He had 30, 000 subordinates at his command!
But now he was defeated by a group of minions!
The ones he looked down upon the most!
It was a great humiliation!
If this news reached Slatin, his authority would be diminished by at least half!
What he couldn’t accept the most was that Flynn was the chief instructor of Blade Special Forces.
In other words, Flynn’s disciples defeated him!
If he couldn’t even defeat Flynn’s disciples, what qualifications did he have to challenge Flynn himself?
“Great! Amazing!” Adam Davies’s eyes welled up with tears as he nodded with a smile. “Thank you, Flynn. Thank you…”
Lesser Sovereigns were too powerful. Even though Blade Special Forces had two Great Grandmasters and over twenty Grandmasters, if they could manage to hold out for ten minutes in this battle, it would be considered an extraordinary performance from the team.
After all, there was a huge difference in their realms.
It was already impressive to fight on equal terms.
But now they actually injured Mike Clark! How could he not be excited?
Victory was assured!
The championship of the military region tournament belonged to no one else but them!!
Brandon Pearce smiled and said, “Mr. Clark, you couldn’t defeat my soldiers, so you have no right to challenge our Chief Instructor Clark. Please return to Slatin for recuperation.”
He wasn’t being sarcastic but looking out for Mike Clark.
If he had faced Flynn instead of the Blade Special Forces members, Mike Clark would have been severely injured, if not dead, by now.
In that case, Adam Davies would have no way to explain the situation.
However, Mike Clark didn’t understand Brandon Pearce’s intentions. He felt that this was an outright humiliation, and his eyes were filled with anger.
He couldn’t believe that an abandoned member of the Clark family who could only survive in a stinking sewer would teach him a lesson.
This lesson was an affront to his pride.
A supreme major general was defeated by a group of ants.
His face was completely lost!
He shouldn’t have come here in the first place!
However, this battle didn’t leave him empty-handed. At least he learned some of Flynn’s secrets.
The medical book in Flynn’s hands contained not only prescriptions for treating difficult and miscellaneous diseases but also miraculous methods to enhance martial arts!
Otherwise, how could Blade Special Forces’ power have improved so quickly?
They all became Inner Force Masters!
Ten years ago, when Flynn caused trouble in the Clark family, he had no skills and couldn’t even throw a punch or kick properly.
But now, he had become a Grandmaster. Could he have achieved this without the medical book left behind by his mother?
He was confirmed!
Flynn’s book was a treasure!
Its value was immeasurable!
He must obtain it!
By any means necessary!
With that medical book, the three Lesser Sovereigns of the Clark family will undoubtedly advance further!
The Clark family will become even more prominent.
If the Clark family could produce a Greater Sovereign, how glorious would that be?
Thinking of this made Mike Clark’s eyes show excitement.
“Flynn, I underestimated you.”
“Here’s what I can do-if you’re willing to let bygones be bygones, I can speak on behalf of your father and give you half of the Clark family’s assets. You’ll be recorded in our genealogy, and your mother’s urn will be placed in our ancestral hall!”
“I hope you can seriously consider returning to the Clark family.” Mike Clark changed his tone as he listed a series of conditions.
Yet, his demeanor remained lofty, as if he were bestowing a favor.
He was very confident.
He believed that Flynn would seriously consider it.
Those conditions were too tempting-half of the Clark family’s assets valued at billions!
But Flynn was vindictive. This matter needed to be approached gradually.
Firstly, he needed to display the terrifying strength of the Clark family to make Flynn feel despair and realize that revenge was impossible. Then things would be easier to handle.
He entrusted this matter to his older brother, Paxton Clark.
He needed to return to Slatin immediately to report this matter to his brother. The martial arts secrets were far more precious than formulas for treating difficult and miscellaneous diseases because martial arts meant power, and power meant everything!
After speaking these to Flynn, Mike Clark immediately left with his guards.
Everyone else remained stunned in their spots.
They couldn’t understand what Mike Clark meant.
But this was Flynn’s family matter. They didn’t dare interfere.
Flynn didn’t pay any attention to Mike Clark’s conditions or bother wasting another word on him.
No matter what the Clark family was up to, their fate had already been sealed.
The situation at the Edge Facility was taken care of.
And it also marked that Flynn fulfilled his promise to Callie Pearce.
In the military region tournament, Blade Special Forces wouldn’t back down from anyone.
The Blade Special Forces members were in an excited state and couldn’t wait for the tournament to arrive soon.
At the same time, Niarak was in an uproar.
Today was Monday, and the stock market opened.
Lilia Hussain had been eagerly waiting for this day for a week and invested significant manpower and resources into it.
As soon as the stock market opened, she initiated a series of operations-spreading negative news about the Sharp’s Group, aggressively selling the Sharp’s Group’s stocks, which caused panic among investors who followed suit and sold their shares as well.
She turned the stock market upside down.
Several subsidiaries under the Sharp’s Group brand were under siege as their stocks dropped by over 15%, approaching their limit down status.
However, just when Lilia Hussain was feeling triumphant and believed Rose Sharp had no way out…
The Sharp’s Group suddenly counterattacked by buying back as much as Lilia Hussain sold off.
They launched comprehensive counterattacks in various fields including raw materials and the stock market.
Only then did Lilia Hussain realize something was wrong. The Sharp’s Group kept buying all her sold-off shares.
Didn’t they only have a few hundred billion in reserve? Yet now they seem to have funds that rival those of Dragon Gate Group and its allies.
But where did Rose Sharp get over 100 billion from?
Just as Lilia Hussain panicked, the Sharp’s Group made a high-profile announcement-they would use 50 billion dollars to battle Dragon Gate Group until one side fell.
And they had already started suppressing Dragon Gate Group and its affiliated companies financially.
Not only did the Sharp’s Group block Dragon Gate Group’s attacks, but they also used their remaining 30 billion dollars for counterattacks!
An eye for an eye!
For a while, the business alliance of Dragon Gate Group began collapsing as over ten companies led by Dragon Gate Group suffered significant drops in their stocks.
Just now, the Swanson’s Group announced bankruptcy with debts totaling 20 billion dollars.
The Swanson’s Group withdrew from the business alliance of Dragon Gate Group after Braiden Swanson died.
Even though they withdrew midway, Rose Sharp didn’t let them go!
Ten years ago, the Swanson’s Group was the first to turn against the Sharp’s Group.
The Swanson family was responsible for Tinley Stevens’ death, framed Kevin Sharp to put him in prison, and bribed the Stewart family for business intelligence…
For the past decade, the Swanson’s Group had led the way, committing all sorts of misdeeds and using every underhanded tactic imaginable.
How could Rose Sharp let them go?
Even if they decided to withdraw from the alliance midway, what difference would it make? There was no way Rose Sharp would ever let them off the hook.
The Sharp’s Group now had money to concentrate their firepower against the Swanson’s Group, launching one attack after another!
They would crush the struggling Swanson’s Group, leaving them with a staggering 20 billion in debt.
All these signs pointed to the fact that the Sharp’s Group’s claim of having 50 billion in funds was no mere bluff.
The business alliance of Dragon Gate Group was in complete panic.
They poured all their money into the venture. There was no capital left to fight back!
If the situation continued to worsen, they would face bankruptcy within just five days!
Watching the plummeting stocks of Dragon Gate Group and its affiliates, Lilia Hussain slumped in her chair.
She couldn’t understand how the Sharp’s Group could have fifty billion in funds.
Over three hundred billion Ostrad coins!
In Ostrad, there were no more than ten companies capable of mobilizing that much capital at once.
And they were all top-tier consortiums.
Yet, they would never stoop to investing in such a business war!
Regardless, one thing was certain-Dragon Gate Group was doomed!
The dozen or so companies in the alliance were finished!
The Hussain family was finished!
Lilia Hussain would soon face pressure from investors and the Hussain family alike!
Her suppliers would come after her.
She was heading toward irreparable ruin!
