Chapter 2528: Chapter 2528: Strategizing in the Command Tent

"Who is this blind guy? Does anyone know him?"

"He seems really impressive, probably not lacking in skills. But with his kind of ability, instead of living in the higher quarters, he squeezes in with those mediocre Martial Artists in the lower quarters, just to show off?"

"The mindset of experts is never normal, you see the guy drinking? He’s quite formidable, right? Yet he’s drunk all day, clearly not a regular person."

As soon as Julius Reed left, those Martial Artists in the higher quarters started discussing.

None of them are injured yet; all are prominent figures.

Not every Martial Artist living in the higher quarters is powerful; many have been burned by the heat wave and are under treatment.

Those with leisure to discuss can certainly not miss such major news.

The martial arts world is turbulent lately; any stir is worth everyone’s attention.

It can be said that the events planned for the next half year will essentially influence the martial arts world’s structure for the next several centuries.

Choosing sides and making the correct decision is the top priority for every sect.

"What? Enjoy watching the commotion?" Hume Rose spoke coldly, his face sullen.

He was embarrassed in front of everyone and even threatened aloud.

Ordinarily, Hume Rose would have already killed someone.

But the opponent declared he would kill him at the martial arts gathering.

Hume Rose simply decided to kill this fool in front of everyone!

It seems that no one has ever poked at his chest with a finger.

"Arrange for people to guard that area for me. Report immediately if anything happens." Hume Rose turned back and looked at his Guard Commander, whispering, "If he escapes, none of you will survive, understand?"

"Understood!" The Guard Commander shuddered slightly and immediately led the people toward the lower quarters.

The entire Hume family manor sank into a bizarre silence.

In the shadows, waves surged!

Hume Rose glanced in the direction where Julius Reed left and turned back to the inner hall.

At that moment, the inner hall was already filled with people from the Hume family and those sects prepared to cooperate with the Hume family.

"I assume you have all heard what just happened. Does anyone have any thoughts, speak up."

Hume Rose sat on the dragon throne and spoke lightly.

The plan was disrupted.

The Court intervened forcefully, stumbling upon an unreasonable fellow midway.

Tomorrow’s contest is destined to be turbulent.

"I feel that guy has been plotting for a long time." An elder wearing monk robes stepped out and spoke up: "I presume he wanted to deliver such bold words in front of everyone, to raise his or his sect’s fame."

"Currently, you are the martial arts world’s focal point; challenging you is the simplest way to gain fame."

The monk finished and returned.

"Eliminate the root." He added.

"Master, you don’t have any mercy, do you?" Hume Rose smiled and nodded: "I thought the same. But when he acted, he wasn’t weak at all. As for his backing, I’m still unclear; someone, investigate overnight!"

"I know."

A person stepped out from the inner hall.

"Those two guys, claim to be people of Silvio Reed. Previously at the post station, I personally saw them kill the Court’s people, and they declared Silvio Reed as the martial arts world’s number one."

The white-clad young man, feather fan and silk headdress, chuckled: "I am Alexander Meadow, often called the Little Meadow The Half Child of Negative Heaven. In my opinion, that Iwan Martinez and the blind guy are together. That’s why Iwan Martinez surrendered and let the blind guy kill the Court’s people."

"The Half Child of Negative Heaven? I’ve only heard of The Half Child of Positive Heaven." Hume Rose gestured: "Speak."

He doesn’t recognize all present at the scene.

Most of the alliance businesses are under his consent, handled by subordinates.

Those who can stand in the inner hall are staunch supporters of the Hume family, willing to become vassals.

Tomorrow’s match, they will try hard to defeat people of other sects but intentionally lose to the Hume family.

"Haha, The Half Child of Negative Heaven is a humble term. I am quite modest, just knowing a little about everything." Alexander Meadow slightly smiled, shaking his fan: "According to my viewpoint, tomorrow one can secretly manipulate, having Iwan Martinez and this guy paired together. If they fight, it will definitely consume; if not, Silvio Reed’s reputation would suffer!"

"Now everyone knows Iwan Martinez is Silvio Reed’s man. If Iwan Martinez surrenders tomorrow, where would Silvio Reed’s face go? If the blind guy surrenders, wouldn’t it be easy for Mr. Rose to kill a half-crippled Iwan Martinez?"

"He said he’d kill you in the ring, but if he doesn’t even get to see you, wouldn’t that be humiliating himself?"

Alexander Meadow grew increasingly excited: "Who cares about the boast of an ant? People will not think Mr. Rose lost face; they’ll just see the blind guy as a mad dog, a joke!"

"Good, well said! Tomorrow I’ll arrange for people to pair them up." Hume Rose’s originally angry mood was instantly swept away. "Alexander Meadow, right? I’ll remember you. In the future, I promise you glory and wealth!"

"Thank you, Mr. Rose." Alexander Meadow shook his fan, satisfied.

"What about the Court’s matter?" Hume Rose threw out another question, "The Court’s experts died at my manor; they’ll inevitably have opinions. Yet now, surrounded by strong enemies, if we can ally with the Court, our status will stabilize beyond challenge!"

The Court, a recently emerging organization.

Through gathered information and today’s witnessed contest, Hume Rose realized the Court has always existed.

Just for certain reasons, they haven’t engaged with the world.

Such a terrifying group of strong individuals clearly prepares to engage with the world.

Actions will not be minor.

Best to ally if possible; if not, at least avoid conflict.

In the age of fierce competition, the greatest fear is becoming a target for all.

"Still send people to connect with the Court, explain the matter clearly." A Hume family member said: "I’ll handle this."

"Good, then all of you rest. Tomorrow will be a day recorded in history. Our era is coming." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Hume Rose stretched out his hand, speaking confidently.

Overnight.

The news of a blind guy at the Hume family manor threatening to kill Hume Rose spread swiftly!

By the next morning, even the likes of Shadow Kims and others far away in Demarco Mount knew of the news.

Nelson even called personally, choking on his words.

After dressing, Julius Reed picked up Knife Abernathy, rising to attend the grand event.

And the True Lord of Nine Netherworlds followed with a bamboo hat.

In his words, the two shall live or die together from now on.

They should even become sworn brothers!

But Julius Reed refused.

Just as he left his room, he received a message.

’Hume Rose will pair you with Iwan Martinez.’

"Jesse River?" Julius Reed recognized it was Jesse River from the text’s style.

This person, speculated by the True Lord of Nine Netherworlds to be Bear spirit, now sends a message to him, what does it mean?

If the information is accurate, he really overestimated Hume Rose’s character.

"I have something for you." Julius Reed whispered a few words to the True Lord of Nine Netherworlds’s ear, and the latter quickly departed.
