All the super martial arts masters from the Nevilles, together with the skilled warriors of the Phoenix Vanguard who came later, launched a ruthless attack that wiped out the entire Moffetts without mercy.
Following this tragedy, Jason matured in an instant.
He raised his eyes to Robin, who stood silently and seriously in the middle of the meeting hall, watching the violence unfold.
From Robin, he finally understood the presence and mindset of a true ruler.
In a world ruled by power, there is no such thing as mutual success, only cold loneliness.
Friendship and kindness aren't things you can ask for.
They also don't come from pleasing others or acting weak.
They must be earned through pride and defiance.
Otherwise, not just you, but everyone who relies on you, will pay the price.
To grant you the title of King is not to indulge you in romance and pretentious flair.
It means bearing the weight of a thousand burdens, shouldering the hopes of millions.
To protect what is right and keep its peace.
"Mr. Jason, all 112 members of the Muffetts have been eliminated," said the high-tier warrior of the Nevilles, holding a blade still stained with blood and bowing.
"All 117 family leaders of the martial arts family have gathered. Realm Leader, we are waiting for your command!"
After showing respect to Robin, Jason turned to face the gathered family leaders.
"Everyone, the Muffetts teamed up with the Dark Syndicate and betrayed the Nevilles. Under the laws of the Ancient Martial Realm, they have been exterminated!
"In this world, only strength matters, and those who are powerful earn respect.
"Every three years, the strongest family is picked based on their overall strength. Only the winner can become the Realm Leader and wield authority over the martial arts family.
"Jupiter broke the laws of the Ancient Martial Realm, trying to steal the Realm Leader's position through dirty tricks. Such disregarding actions cannot be tolerated and must be punished!
"I hope all the family leaders remember what happened here today and help protect fairness in the Ancient Martial Realm.
"If you want to lead this world and become the strongest martial arts family, you must train hard. Prove your worth through strength, and let your power speak for you!"
"Hmph!" Chanin Lesnar, the head of the Lesnars, let out a cold snort.
"The Moffetts did break the law, but Jason, your way of handling things was too cruel!"
Jason stared at Chanin with a cold gaze. "Cruel? When the Moffetts plotted against my family, where were your words then?"
Chanin let out a small laugh and pointed toward Robin. "Jason, you always say strength rules above all. But if your sister didn't have an unclear relationship with that so-called Drakebane, would you still be showing off like this in front of us?"
Robin tapped his finger casually. "Are you talking about me? What kind of unclear relationship are you suggesting exists between Jane and me? Say it clearly.
"If you can't give a real answer and you're just trying to insult me, then I'll destroy your whole family!"
The entire hall went quiet in an instant.
Chanin froze on the spot.
He had tried to play the elder before Jason, spouting off without restraint, only to realize that he'd gone too far with his words.
"I ... I'm not sure. I just heard rumors ... "
Robin walked up to him slowly. "Rumors? Who started these rumors? Tell me now, and I'll only kill you, not your entire family."
"You ... I ... I really don't know," Chanin stammered, his face darkening as panic set in.
Robin chuckled coldly. "And you call yourself the head of a legendary martial arts family? What a disgrace. What's the point of you even being alive?"
"Mr. Drakebane, I ... "
Bang!
Before he could finish, Robin struck him hard on the shoulder.
The head of the Lesnars, a legendary super martial arts master, couldn't defend himself at all. In an instant, half his body was shattered, and a lifetime of cultivation was reduced to nothing.
"You're pathetic. Is continuing your lineage all you've got? You've lived this long and still learned nothing. You may as well just lie down and wait to die."
