“Ms. Hussain, are you surprised?”
“Are you curious why such a vulgar and unremarkable man like him could possess such great power?”
Rose Sharp sipped her tea, her eyes never leaving her cup, and smiled faintly.
Lilia Hussain, who saw herself as a queen, regarded Flynn as nothing more than a rude country bumpkin.
Before Flynn broke Yusuf Blenkinsop’s arm and annihilated the Guards of the Harpy, she believed she could easily control his fate.
But now she realized that this man was no longer someone she could afford to look down upon.
“Flynn’s strength is probably on par with Ronald Hussain, a Lesser Sovereign.”
“So what? Eight Extremities School values brotherhood. Flynn injured Yusuf Blenkinsop. Eight Extremities School won’t let it slide, and neither will Ronald Hussain!”
“Ronald Hussain, with his twenty-seven Grandmasters and over one thousand seven hundred Inner Force Masters, will come after Flynn. I don’t believe Flynn has any grounds to be arrogant today!” After a brief shock, Lilia Hussain regained her composure and even poured tea for Rose Sharp to show her inner calmness.
Flynn was indeed powerful, but he shouldn’t have injured Yusuf Blenkinsop and challenged the authority of Eight Extremities School, especially with Ronald Hussain on his way.
With so many martial arts experts, a war of attrition would be enough to exhaust Flynn!
The reason Eight Extremities School had become the most powerful force in Shipmeda State underworld isn’t just because they were brave and ruthless, or because they had sheer numbers. The real key to their success was their unity.
When one was in trouble, help came from all directions!
Take Maximo Goff for example. In order to kill Flynn, he gathered five branch leaders and several thousand people in just four hours.
This was the terrifying aspect of Eight Extremities School.
Not only were they powerful, but their organization and mobility were strong as well. They had a strong determination to stand up for their brothers!
“Ms. Hussain, Flynn has repeatedly challenged your perception. Haven’t you learned any lessons from it?” Rose Sharp remained calm as she picked up a cherry from the table and savored it slowly.
The collision between her red lips and the bright red cherry carried a hint of sensuality and ease.
“It’s precisely because I’ve learned my lessons that I’ve used the strongest connections of the Hussain family to invite Ronald Hussain here,” Lilia Hussain said coldly with a sharp glint in her eyes.
Rose Sharp sighed and shook her head without saying anything more.
“Lilia Hussain, oh Lilia Hussain, do you know that the strongest connections of your Hussain family are nothing more than ants in Flynn’s eyes? Isn’t Jack Jenkins, a Greater Sovereign, strong enough? But he was defeated by Flynn with just a slap! How can Ronald Hussain and seventeen branch leaders resist his anger?” Rose Sharp thought to herself.
Suddenly, a warm feeling surged in her heart as she couldn’t help but look at Flynn slowly approaching the pavilion.
She couldn’t imagine what would have become of her these past three months without Flynn’s help.
She would have probably met an unfortunate end after River Stewart tricked her and stole the formula of Dragon Bone Pill.
Niarak would no longer have Rose Sharp in its midst. Despite all her past glory, she’d be just a joke in this era where the victor took all.
Those who sympathized with her might sigh at most but not much else.
Those who disliked her would use her ten years of struggle as a joke.
Even though she appeared strong when facing major difficulties at work, deep down she would feel nervous or even panicked.
But with Flynn’s presence, it was like having strong support. As long as Flynn was there, she had nothing to fear even if the sky came down on her.
Just like what happened today. If it weren’t for Flynn, dealing with Yusuf Blenkinsop would have given her a headache.
But with Flynn there, she had the courage to face anything, even confronting Ronald without a hint of fear.
This was the confidence that Flynn gave her-the feeling of safety he provided.
As Rose Sharp pondered this, Flynn had already arrived at the pavilion and his gaze fell upon Frederick Powell with an icy chill in his eyes.
“F-Flynn, what do you want?” Frederick Powell looked shocked as he quickly moved to hide behind a pillar.
“My father and godfather have made great contributions to Eight Extremities School. If you kill me, it will only add to your crimes!”
“I advise you to agree to negotiate quickly to prevent your family and friends from ending up suffering because of you!” Frederick Powell was scared. Lilia Hussain might be useful to Flynn for now, but he was useless to him! Frederick Powell had witnessed firsthand Flynn’s demonic methods of torture that made death seem preferable.
He was terrified.
“Flynn, this mansion has beautiful scenery. I want to enjoy it for a while longer. Once today’s business is completely wrapped up, you can deal with Frederick Powell as you see fit,” Rose Sharp spoke slowly as she filled Flynn’s teacup.
Frederick Powell had offended Flynn multiple times and conspired with Lilia Hussain against him.
He would surely be dead meat.
But Rose Sharp didn’t want any hint of bloodshed here to ruin this beautiful scene.
Because at this moment, she felt an unprecedented calmness.
A calmness she had never experienced in these ten years.
It felt like finally avenging a long-held grudge and finding solace in letting go of certain things from the past.
“Alright then, I’ll indulge you.” Flynn calmly sat down and took a sip from his teacup.
Seeing how composed Rose Sharp and Flynn were, Lilia Hussain furrowed her brows slightly.
Could it be that Flynn really had the ability to leave unscathed?
But he was not yet thirty years old. How strong could he possibly be in martial arts?
She understood now. They probably wanted to offer Ronald Hussain a large sum of money or entice him after he arrived.
After all, money could make miracles happen!
But they miscalculated this time! Ronald Hussain valued righteousness and integrity greatly.
If he promised to help resolve matters for the Hussain family, he would definitely follow through.
He was firm in his principles!
And it was the reason why tens of thousands of people respected him!
Attempting to buy him off with some ancient formulas or money wouldn’t succeed. It would only backfire because it would be an insult to him!
At that moment, car engines roared throughout Purple Ivy Mountain.
Lilia Hussain’s eyes lit up as she smiled. “Ronald Hussain must have arrived! Ms. Sharp, this is your last chance. When Ronald Hussain asks you about negotiations, I hope you can give him a satisfactory answer!”
After saying this, she elegantly stood up and walked towards the courtyard.
Frederick Powell saw this as his salvation and quickly ran towards the gate.
On the winding mountain road of Purple Ivy Mountain came a chilling scene.
A dozen black BMW sedans lined up neatly like a long snake driving slowly along the mountain road towards Crystal Bay House.
Each car had dark windows that shielded any view inside. All one could sense was an invisible pressure.
It was like dark clouds pressing down on a city. Their imposing momentum made even birds and beasts in the mountains cower in fear.
When the convoy stopped at Crystal Bay House’s entrance, twenty-seven men exuding an aura of superiority stepped out of each car one by one and quickly gathered next to the lead car. They were all dressed in black suits with fierce and sharp gazes resembling leopards lurking nearby.
They were branch leaders from various divisions of Eight Extremities School along with high-ranking members from its headquarters.
Together with their subordinates totaling over one thousand people standing on both sides of the mountain road at three-meter intervals from foot to gate-each wearing black clothes and sunglasses-they created an awe-inspiring scene.
An executive from Eight Extremities School approached one car window respectfully and bowed. “Master, we’ve arrived.”
The door of the lead car opened slowly, revealing an imposing figure.
The man was dressed sharply in a black suit with an upright posture.
His face exuded coldness while his eyes were sharp. His whole being emitted an intense aura of majesty.
He was like an emperor in darkness, distorting the surrounding air as if time itself froze under his presence.
He scanned his surroundings before showing a slight smile on his face. “The environment here is beautiful, and the air is much better than in Ipholn. Ms. Hussain surely knows how to enjoy life!”
“No wonder Lord Valerian Nox would cultivate in Niarak.”
“Let’s go inside together. After we finish today’s business here, I still need to visit Jade Dragon Mountain.”
News about Lord Valerian Nox killing Jack Jenkins had spread far and wide.
Ronald Hussain’s trip to Niarak was not only to help resolve matters for the Hussain family but also to see if he could meet Lord Valerian Nox.
Three years ago, he heard from a prestigious clan in Haralu that an invincible figure appeared on Demon Island Prison.
The prestigious clan leaders referred to him as “King of the Underworld”, unaware of his true name.
Ronald Hussain went to great lengths just to catch a glimpse of him.
Unfortunately, compared to those ancient families’ standings, his own position was too low.
He couldn’t even enter Demon Island Prison.
In the end, he became a bodyguard for one clan in Eahta just so he could have a chance encounter with King of the Underworld.
He used all means possible to try to make connections or even become King of the Underworld’s servant.
But King of the Underworld didn’t care at all.
Now that Niarak had produced another Greater Sovereign who defeated Jack Jenkins with ease-this piqued Ronald Hussain’s interest.
If he could have such powerful backing-his Eight Extremities School would become even stronger!
He must establish close ties with Lord Valerian Nox!
