Chapter 716 - The Peerless Martial Association Intervenes

Chapter 716: The Peerless Martial Association Intervenes

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The people who came in were all dressed in black, and there was the word ‘Peerless’ embroidered in gold on the chest area of their clothes. Thus, their identities were recognizable at a glance.

“Th-these people are from the Peerless Martial Association!” someone exclaimed.

The people present were all from the top families and forces of California, so they were naturally no stranger to the Peerless Martial Association, a massive behemoth in California.

However, although the Peerless Martial Association was extremely powerful, they basically wouldn’t intervene in the disputes between the powerful families in California. They wouldn’t send their representatives even to the Elite Business Exchange, which was held only once every three years. Thus, their appearance immediately surprised everyone.

The majestic old man at the front was probably in his early sixties. He had his white hair tied neatly behind his head, but he didn’t seem old at all. Instead, his hair made him seem even more imposing and authoritative.

“My goodness. The person standing in front is Axel Fox, the head of the Peerless Martial Association’s California branch! He actually came here in person today!”

“I heard that the Peerless Martial Association has a branch in each state, and the power of each branch head is extremely terrifying. Furthermore, they’re chosen by the headquarters, and no one has ever seen the true strength and power of Mr. Fox!”

“Now that he’s suddenly here, and he even denounced the Smiths’ approach, is the Peerless Martial Association going to get involved in this messy situation?”

The sudden appearance of the head of the Peerless Martial Association’s California branch sparked an uproar among the people in the hall because he rarely appeared. They all began to speculate on the purpose of his visit.

The vote to join the Smith Business Alliance was only halfway through before it was suspended because of the sudden appearance of this person.

A sharp glint of displeasure flashed in Vince’s eyes.

It should have been an exchange led by the Smiths, but such unexpected situations kept cropping up.

Moreover, the venue should have people from the Kingstons guarding outside, yet no one informed him that the group from the Peerless Martial Association had suddenly arrived. It showed that their arrival wasn’t impromptu but premeditated.

The Peerless Martial Association was indeed very powerful. In fact, in terms of overall strength, it was even more powerful than the eight giants of DC.

But this was relative to the entire Peerless Martial Association.

The Smiths wouldn’t be afraid of the Peerless Martial Association’s California branch alone.

Vince, the most likely successor of the Smiths, wouldn’t be afraid of an old branch head at all.

“Mr. Fox, doesn’t the Peerless Martial Association claim to never interfere in the affairs between the major families? Now that you’ve suddenly appeared, isn’t that out of line with the rules of the Peerless Martial Association?” Vince said in displeasure.

Axel chuckled. “Yes, it’s true that the Peerless Martial Association never interferes in such trivial matters among families. But since you are giving orders here today even though you’re not California, the Peerless Martial Association won’t sit by and let you disrupt the long-standing peace here!

“It doesn’t make sense that an outsider like you can show off your power while the Peerless Martial Association, which originally belongs to California, can’t even join in. Don’t you think so, Vince Smith?”

Axel didn’t give Vince any respect as he denounced him for overstepping his boundaries.

Besides, he was a martial arts practitioner to begin with, so his voice was full of vigor, and it was almost deafening, causing the ears of the people present to ring.

The face of the expert behind Vince didn’t look good at this moment.

He had already found it difficult to deal with Lucas. Yet there was now an old man who seemed to be extremely highly skilled in martial arts, and he had brought countless experts of the Peerless Martial Association with him, making him feel even more stressed.

Before coming to San Francisco, he felt that it would definitely be easy since he just had to help deter and get rid of some juniors. But he no longer dared to be so arrogant now.

Lucas was overjoyed to see the tense situation between the Smiths and Axel of the Peerless Martial Association. He picked up his teacup and leisurely took a sip.

Slightly gloomy, Vince said half-threateningly, “Mr. Fox, I suggest you stay out of this. Or else, I’m afraid you won’t be able to answer to the headquarters. After all, the Smiths have rather strong ties with the headquarters of the Peerless Martial Association!”

The Peerless Martial Association was a powerful organization, while the Smiths were one of the eight giants of DC, so they naturally had a lot of dealings with each other. The Smiths had entrusted the Peerless Martial Association to carry out some private tasks on their behalf, which were otherwise inconvenient for them to do themselves. It could be said that they were often in contact.

“Hah! Don’t throw your weight around with the Smiths’ name. Do you think I’m afraid of you?” Axel spat hostilely. “The Smiths are from another city, so they’re not qualified to meddle with the affairs of California! Even if you go home and complain to your father, I will still say the same thing!

His voice was extremely loud, and he didn’t show any respect at all. Vince was so furious that his face paled.

The others in the venue didn’t dare to breathe at all. They all lowered their heads, pretending not to hear these words.

Be it Vince or Axel of the Peerless Martial Association, these helmsmen couldn’t afford to offend either of them.

In a situation where two hegemons were at odds, their best bet was to stay as far away as possible.

If they accidentally got these two big shots to think that they were mocking them, they would be really unlucky!

In the large venue with hundreds of people sitting, they were all staying silent with bated breath, not daring to utter a single word.

At this moment, Vince was furious.

He had come to San Francisco this time with the assumption that things would definitely go well for him, so he had only brought a top powerhouse with him, the middle-aged man standing behind him.

Usually, this expert would be enough for him to deal with any enemy he might face in California.

But Vince didn’t expect to be confronted by people from the Peerless Martial Association’s California branch.

He was suddenly a little uncertain because he knew that the Peerless Martial Association would not keep any good-for-nothings around. Since Axel could be appointed as the head of the California branch, it showed that his martial arts were definitely far superior to ordinary experts.

If Axel was determined to make an enemy of the Smiths, Vince would have no choice but to give up on his plan because he really couldn’t come up with a better solution at the moment.

“Mr. Fox, why do you have to be so overbearing? Even if the Smiths take control of California, it shouldn’t have anything to do with the Peerless Martial Association, right? Besides, I think it’ll only benefit you if anything!” Vince’s tone became mellower as he tried to convince Axel not to oppose mm and instead stand on his side by highlighting their mutual interests.

If he could successfully persuade Axel, then he would have one less formidable enemy and one more ally who could help him deal with Lucas!
