“Ms. Veronica, how is your relationship with Nathan?” Emmanuel asked after a

brief silence, deciding to take the direct approach.

“In the Chapman family, we’ve always had a single male heir in each

generation. Naturally, the bond between siblings is very strong. Why do you

ask, Mr. Lowe?” Veronica’s sharp intellect reminded Emmanuel of Mackenzie.

Emmanuel knew there was no point in being indirect with someone as astute

as Veronica. “Nathan has been eager to learn martial arts from me, hoping to

inherit my techniques. If the Chapman family supports Ethan in his bid for the

presidency, I’ll agree to pass my martial arts skills on to him.” Emmanuel laid

out his offer clearly, knowing this was his best bargaining chip.

The sisters began whispering amongst themselves, acknowledging

Emmanuel’s prowess. They knew their younger brother had always been

passionate about martial arts, particularly to impress one of the other Four

Beauties of Zovince. If Nathan could inherit Emmanuel’s skills, it would

Kertainly make him happy.

However, Veronica responded with a dismissive smile. “Mr. Lowe, forgive me

for being blunt, but while your martial arts are impressive, the rumors about

your abilities may be exaggerated.”

Emmanuel frowned slightly. “What makes you say that, Ms. Veronica?” He

normally didn’t care about the opinions circulating in the martial arts world,

but this time, since his abilities were part of the negotiation, he felt compelled

to defend them.

“People say that the pinnacle of Chanaean martial arts lies with the Southern

Lannister and the Northern Wolf Warrior,” Veronica spoke candidly. “Like

Nathan, I used to admire you, Mr. Lowe. But after today, I find myself

disappointed.”

“Oh? And why is that?” Emmanuel asked, curious about her reasoning.

Veronica walked over to Gale, gesturing toward him as she spoke. “Everyone

in Chanaea’s martial arts world knows that Yorick Dotson, the Martial Saint of

Shoiya, has been challenging fighters across our country, defeating them

one after another. Not long ago, Master Lively here faced him in the east and

was defeated in just three moves. The gap in strength was immense. If Yorick

had not shown mercy, Master Lively would likely not have survived.’

Emmanuel’s expression turned serious in response, an involuntary smile

tugging at the corner of his lips.

Veronica continued, “With even the Eight Supreme Grandmasters of Zovince

unable to withstand Yorick’s strength, the only two figures we could rely on

are those reputed to be above them. However, after seeing you take ten

moves

oves to defeat Master Lively, I doubt you would be any match for Yorick.

Even if Nathan inherited your martial arts, it wouldn’t be of much use.”

Emmanuel fell silent. While he didn’t believe martial arts could be compared

so simplistically, he had sparred with Yorick before and knew he lacked the

ability to defeat him. After all, Yorick was at a saintly level, even capable of

contending with someone like Santiago.

As Veronica broached the subject, her sisters eagerly joined the

conversation.

“Indeed, if this keeps up, the Martial Saint of Shoiya will dominate our

“Do you think Southern Lannister could fare better than Mr. Lowe?”

“If our country is humiliated by Shoiya, it’ll be a disgrace to the entire nation!”

Veronica allowed her sisters to voice their opinions, clearly hoping Emmanuel

would step forward to challenge Yorick and defend Chanaea’s honor. Seeing

that Emmanuel remained silent, she pressed him directly. “Since you

proposed this as your bargaining chip, how about we make a deal? If you

can defeat Yorick and bring honor to Chanaea, I will accept your offer. What

“I accept,” Emmanuel replied frankly. “When the opportunity arises, and if

ecessary, I will fight.”

“Well, that should be exciting to watch!” Several of the sisters clapped their

hands in delight while Veronica’s lips curved into a subtle smile. “In that case,

Veronica quickly moved to his side, frowning in concern. “Nathan, why are you

jetting so worked up? Two of your ribs are shattered–you won’t be getting

out of bed for at least six months!”

Emmanuel also walked over, ignoring Veronica’s presence as he examined

Nathan’s wounds. The medical staff started to object, but Veronica waved

them off, signaling them to remain calm. Despite the earlier challenges she’d

posed to Emmanuel, it had all been part of their act to get him to agree to

their terms. In reality, Veronica had full confidence in Emmanuel’s abilities,

True to her expectations, Emmanuel didn’t disappoint. After a quick

assessment, he declared, “Whoever shot you used a specialized

armor–piercing round designed to penetrate your body and kill you with a

ingle shot. This was military–grade ammunition, not something a hunting

ground would casually provide. But how did you survive?”

“As expected of the Northern Wolf Warrior,” Veronica said, her lips curling into

a smile as she praised Emmanuel. “You’re very observant, assessing the

situation just from the wound. Nathan is the sole heir of the Chapman family,

so he’s always had professional bodyguards, and he wears the most

advanced bulletproof vest at all times–just in case of an assassination

attempt.”

“That explains it.” Emmanuel had already guessed as much but hadn’t

realized the Chapman family’s bulletproof vests were that advanced. The

fact that an armor–piercing bullet, capable of tearing through metal, hadn’t

fully pierced Nathan’s body was impressive–though it had still shattered his

ribs.

“D*mn it, who’s trying to kill me?” Nathan gritted his teeth and growled, “I’ll find

out who it was and repay them a hundredfold!”
