On the next day, while Clyde Osborne was still filled with utter resentment…
Harvey York called a cab to the Martial Arts Alliance’s office building.
Other than seeing what sort of trouble Colton Torres was dealing with, he wanted to talk to him about what had happened the previous night.
After all, judging from Clyde’s personality, Harvey believed that the prideful man would not just sit and do nothing after suffering such a big loss.
Samuel Bauer’s actions seemed quite reckless, but he was actually forcing Clyde to pull out his trump card.
When the enemy is not fully prepared, it will be easier to take them out.
As soon as Harvey entered the office, Colton Torres furiously slammed his hand on the table.
“Bastards! Cowards!
“Are those vice leaders completely useless?!
“Or are those people from the sacred martial arts training grounds think that they’re above others? Don’t they care about their own country’s glory?
“It’s already bad enough that they’re not standing on my side at such a crucial moment…
“They’re even pestering me to accept the conditions as soon as possible!
“Don’t they know I’ll be branded a traitor to the country if I actually agree to those terms on behalf of Country H’s Martial Arts Alliance?
“Tell them that I’ll deal with this myself!
“If they’re unhappy about it, then just tell them to remove me from my position!”
Colton waved his hand, gesturing his workers to leave the office.
“What’s all this commotion about, Elder Torres?
“Just tell your subordinates to deal with this.
Harvey knocked on the door before heading into the office. Then he poured a cup of tea for Colton.
“I heard those so-called vice leaders who came from sacred martial arts training grounds are just elders of their respective outer circles.
“They only have the right to represent themselves at this point.
“If the actual leaders of the sacred martial arts training grounds caught wind about this, they’d definitely stand with you.”
Colton was a lot more furious after hearing Harvey’s words.
“These old bastards only know how to train their hearts out! They wouldn’t care about what
happens in the outside world!” he exclaimed after sighing.
“Because of this, some of the scum from the inside have been flaunting their authority and ruining the reputation of the sacred martial arts training grounds.
“Just like you said, we both know they don’t actually represent the sacred martial arts training grounds…
“But the people outside don’t know that!”
Colton heaved another sigh. This was just extremely taxing for him.
After pouring himself a cup of Black Tea, Harvey casually leaned on the couch with a faint smile.
“I heard the four great Martial Arts Alliances added more conditions again.
“Now, they’re targeting more Country H citizens from abroad. Even some of the bigger cities are getting involved…”
“That’s right.
Colton massaged his temples.
“I saw the news online.
“That bastard, Clyde even called me saying that he negotiated with the Martial Arts Alliances for us, but instead, they decided to add another condition!
“They want you to apologize at the four great Martial Arts Alliances’ headquarters! They want everyone to know the kind of criminal they’re dealing with this time!
“Where did that bastard learn to do something like this?!
“He’s trying to get everyone against you!”
