Everyone was shocked.
This person was actually from the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation!
Noah’s face immediately darkened. This was a conference organized by the Campbells, so all the security matters were the Campbells’ responsibility. Yet this member of the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation had somehow snuck in. There was no telling as to how much information he had heard.
“This is the Campbells’s territory! How did you get in here?” Noah questioned furiously.
“Hah, what’s so great about the Campbells? I, Kai, can come here as and when I please. Can any of you idiots possibly discover me?” The man in black, Kai, smirked mockingly.
But as soon as he said his name, an uproar immediately broke out.
“He’s Kai? He actually came here on his own?”
“T’ve only heard this person’s name before, but I didn’t expect to see Kai here in person!”
“Who… is Kai?”
“You don’t even know Kai? He is an expert of the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation headquarters, and he is also the eldest disciple of the extremely terrifying Master Julian York. His martial arts skills are superb!”
“Wow, he’s definitely a big shot then! In that case… did he hear everything we said earlier?”
Kai’s appearance caused a commotion in the conference hall.
‘The reason they had gathered here for a conference was to discuss how to deal with the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation. But it turned out that a top expert from the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation had been stealthily lurking here and had even witnessed everything.
Some of the helmsmen who had just bad-mouthed the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation were so frightened that they turned pale.
‘They didn’t want to experience the feeling of being caught red-handed on the spot, especially in front of such a terrifyingly strong person, again!
“Kai, right? It’s not very polite of you to trespa.s.s into the Campbells’ conference hall,” Noah said with a solemn look while suppressing his shock.
He was the head of the Campbells and the host of this conference. Despite feeling extremely nervous, he had to bite the bullet and say this.
“Hah, what d.a.m.n politeness? Is it edible?” Kai snorted coldly. “I was just curious about what you losers could come up with during your discussion. It turns out that it’s just bulls.h.i.+t!
“Lcan’t be bothered to talk to you. In short, my master sent me here to relay a message to you. Regardless of what plans you have, you will only end in failure!
“Also, if you guys want to rope in other experts, it’s up to you!
“I don’t care. My master said that if the families of Oregon are willing to join the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation, we might even give you some credit when we take over Oregon in the future.
“But if you want to oppose the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation, we won’t be polite to you!
“This is a choice that affects your life and your family’s future! You have three minutes to think about whether you want to stand on the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation’s side or go against us!
“Once you’ve made up your mind, you can’t go back! The countdown begins now!”
After saying his piece, Kai pulled a chair over, sat on it with his legs crossed, and took a sweeping glance at the crowd.
His words were like a boulder thrown into a lake, instantly stirring up a huge splash.
Everyone looked horrified and uneasy.
They had to make a choice concerning their life and death.
There was a reason for the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation’s name. It was an absolutely peerless force with branches all over the world, and even the eight top families of DC didn’t dare to offend it easily!
Although they were currently discussing how to deal with the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation, it was because of the unification of the dozens of families from California and Oregon that they had the courage to do so.
If they had to face the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation alone, no one would be able to withstand the tremendous pressure!
Indeed, Kai was really here to pressure them by giving them only three minutes to consider which side to stand on.
Kai’s carrot-and-stick strategy was indeed very effective. The helmsmen of several families were clearly struggling to make a choice.
The Peerless Martial a.s.sociation was very powerful, and it was difficult to defeat them.
If they chose to follow the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation, and if the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation won, their families would gain strong backing and be able to develop further.
On the contrary, if they choose to be hostile to the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation, these families would be miserable if the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation won.
‘Thus, many of these helmsmen began to waver.
But no one wanted to be the first to take a stand, so they all looked around at each other, waiting for someone to stand first.
Watching this scene, Edmund and Damon frowned.
Although the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation’s method was simple, it was very effective, as it managed to easily divide the families of California and Oregon, which were in a state of disunity in the first place.
Besides, once the first person who chose the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation came forward, the situation would probably blow out of proportion and become even worse.
Noah was very clear of this too.
He had long coveted Oregon and even California, and it took him a lot of effort to get to this situation today. How could he be willing to let the people of the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation ruin things for him and s.n.a.t.c.h away these families’ allegiances, which should belong to him?
The furious Noah pointed at Kai and threatened, “Kai, don’t be too arrogant! Don’t think that the Campbells are afraid of you! I advise you to behave and leave now, or else you won’t be able to leave even if you want to later!”
With an extremely exaggerated smile, Kai patted his chest and made himself look terrified. “Ah, I won’t be able to leave even if I want to? I’m really scared. Psht!”
He spat on the floor.
Noah’s chest heaved up and down violently, clearly infuriated by the deliberate mocking.
With an icy cold gaze, he turned to Lewis beside him.. “Master Lewis, it seems that I’ll have to trouble you!”
