Based on how quickly he got there, Geronimo had definitely run all the way here. The traffic jam in
Alaska was three times worse than in California, and only a Martial Honor martial artist like himself
would be able to reach this place from the Melvis residence in just ten minutes.
âGood daughter, good grandsonâ¦â
âPresident Melvis, I trust youâve been well since we last met!â Martiny sat at the head of the table,
looking at Geronimo with a broad smile on the place. âYouâre very blessed!â
Geronimo was taken aback. His eyes widened as he stared at the woman. âL-Lady Martiny! W-Why are
you here?â
He had heard previously that people from Mayerridge had come and knew that it had been Martiny, but
he didnât expect to find her eating at the same table as his grandson, talking and laughing while at it.
In his mind, Martiny Mayer was not the virtuous kind.
âThis is my home,â Martiny replied.
âHuh?â
âThe Melvis family banquet was mined today, and Iâm sure you have yet to eat. Why donât you sit down
and have a meal with us!â
Geronimo was still feeling overwhelmed by the favor a superior was showing him, and he was a little
slow to react before he said, âThen, thank you very much, Lady Martiny! I humbly accept your
invitation!â
They stuffed themselves with food.
Geronimo still wanted Alex and Brittany to live in Mevis Manor.
âDad, we wonât go back to Melvis Manor,â Brittany said. âThe others donât like us mother and son, and
we wonât be comfortable living there. Iâve promised to stay the night here at Sister Martinyâs place, and
tomorrow weâll head back to California!â
âYouâre going back so soon?â
Alex smiled and said, âGrandpa, if you want to see my mother, you can come to the Rockefeller Manor.
I can also refine some pills for you to take so that you can improve your cultivation level quickly and
strive to break through into the realm of Martial Saint as soon as possible.â
âI can still make a breakthrough further into Martial Saint?â
âItâs not that hard, right?â Alex threw out the bait with a wide smile. âIâm confident that you will be able to
become a Martial Saint within three years.â
If a Martial Saint were overseeing everything at home, he would rest easy a lot.
Geronimo took the bait, but he said, âItâs fine if I live in California and all, but the headquarters of the
Divine Constabulary is in Alaska. I wonât agree unless you agree to take over the Divine Constabulary
and become president! It just so happens that the ranking battles of the Divine Constabulary are about
to begin. With your strength, it will be as easy as a walk in the park to obtain the position.â
Before Alex could say anything, Martiny suddenly interrupted, âNo, Alex canât be the president of the
Divine Constabulary.â
Geronimo immediately shot back, âWhy not?â
âThe position of president of the Divine Constabulary is filled with various kinds of tedious tasks. Going
there will only harm Alexâs development. There arenât any benefits at all!â
âBullsh*t!â
Geronimoâs temper burst out without warning. âOur Divine Constabulary is already the top department
in the entire country, and is already at the top of the world. In terms of power and status, itâs above
ordinary departments. Is this still called affecting his
development?â
After speaking, he was surprised as though he had just realized that the person in front of him was
Martiny. For an instant, he had an interesting expression.
Martiny wasnât angry when she said, âThe Divine Constabulary is not the true core of authority and
power. Also, so what if Alex becomes absolute head of the country? The power of a mortal is nothing in
the face of absolute strength!â
Geronimo wasnât convinced. âCan an individualâs strength be compared to the state apparatus?â
Luna, who was next to him, said, âThatâs because youâre short-sighted, and you are not aware of how
far an individualâs strength can reach. You may feel that reaching the realm of Martial Saint is your
lifelong pursuit, but youâre not aware that some people are born naturally as a Martial Saint and that
there are realms that are even higher than that! One could destroy mountains and rivers with a single
punch and use a finger to destroy a country. Have you heard of this kind of power before?â
Geronimo was thoroughly dumbfounded at what he heard.
âThat⦠Isnât that just a myth?â
Martiny laughed bitterly and shook her head. âPresident Melvis, there are some things that you will only
believe once you see it with your own eyes! Do you remember Commander Jade Benmore, who swept
through the world twenty years ago?â
Geronimo was stunned for a moment.
How could he ever forget that? That year, he couldnât even endure a single blow from her hands.
However, Jade disappeared after that.
âIsnât she dead?â
Martiny shook her head. âOf course not! Commander Jade has long since surpassed the realm of
Martial Saint twenty years ago and is now a more powerful existence than you can ever imagine. And
now, in the peaceful and prosperous age of America, we should thank Commander Jade and many
others for their dedication in doing so! Without their deathly struggle back then, the country would have
been dyed red with blood a long time ago.â
Geronimoâs eyes widened. âT-This⦠What in the world is going on?â
