Chapter 214

Upon hearing this, Skadi finally realized.

These people were here to mock the Hero Martial Arts School.

They seemed to believe that the Hero Martial Arts School would lose?

Skadi arrogantly said, “If you people are here to make a fool out of us, dream on…”

At that moment, an elderly Mediterranean man in a traditional Nihon outfit and wooden clogs stepped down from the bus.

His scalp shone brightly in the middle, while white hair flowed down the sides.

With a hooked nose and fierce eyes, his face carried an aura of strictness and intensity.

As soon as he got off the bus, his gaze fixed on Nash, who was standing by the main entrance of the martial arts school.

Nash also lifted his gaze to meet the old man’s.

The elder did not emit any obvious aura.

Then, there was a subtle glow in the depths of Nash’s pupils, and he discovered a faint movement of true essence in the old man’s belly.

This was… the Profound Reality Realm.

Plus, it seemed like he was on the verge of forming into the Mystique Loyalty Realm, indicating that this was a master at the peak or near the peak of the Profound Reality Realm.

Olivia approached, whispering, “Mr. Calcraft… this is Newi Ihara, one of the Ten Juggernauts from the Green Bamboo Association, known as the ‘Hidden-Ghost Juggernaut.’ His strength is unfathomable. Zabel’s martial arts school might face troubles today…..”

She paused, leaning closer to Nash’s ear and continuing, “Recently, Kai, Simon, and Duncan have become close allies. Six of the Juggernauts from the Green Bamboo Association have arrived in Jonford. They don’t dare to act against you openly because they know you have the support of the Northern Territory.”

With his hands in his pockets, Nash nodded nonchalantly.

Then, Olivia bit her red lip, expressing concern while saying, “Theo told me to inform you not to engage directly with these Juggernauts unless necessary. After all, they have all fought their way up through blood, sweat, and tears!”

Nash replied with a faint smile, “Thanks for the heads up. I know what to do.”

“What are you two discussing?”

Skadi approached them after speaking with a few other women.

Nash shook his head. “Nothing much. Let’s go in.”

Without delay, they headed toward the ente

When Zakariah saw Nash, he greeted him with a hand on his heart. “Mr. Calcraft…”

Nash returned the gesture, “Greetings, Mr. Zabel!”

Zakariah guided Nash to a large chair at the front of the hall, taking a seat on another next to it.

A table sat between them, adorned with tea utensils.

Before they could exchange words, the younger generation from the Five Elite Families approached.

“Mr. Calcraft… please excuse me for a moment.”

“Skadi, please accompany Mr. Calcraft. I need to greet our esteemed guests!”

Considering they were from the Five Elite Families, despite their minimal interactions, it was necessary to show them respect.

Zakariah greeted them warmly.

Then, seats were soon brought for everyone.

Nash, seated on the grand chair, turned to Skadi standing beside him. “There’s a chair right here. Aren’t you going to sit?”

It was normal for Skadi, as Hera’s close friend and someone of the same age as Nash, to sit beside him.

When interacting with Zakariah, they bonded over martial arts. Given her own level of skill and cultivation, she also had the qualification to sit on equal footing with him.

Skadi looked at the empty chair with a grin and said, “You’re the guest, so you sit!”

Nash was merely being polite, and whether or not Skadi chose to sit did not matter much to him.

“Do you smoke, dude?”

A young man with a strong cheerful face offered Nash a cigarette.

Without hesitation, Nash accepted and put it between his lips. The young man quickly lit it for him.

Skadi laughed. “Justin, you sure have a keen eye!”

Justin Yanes chuckled. “Anyone who can sit in the Master’s Grand Chair is no ordinary person!”

The Grand Chair was a symbol of authority in the Hero Martial Arts School.

He had only seen masters and some elite martial artists sit there before.

Even Skadi would seldom dare to sit on that seat.

Nash frowned slightly, remembering Skadi’s teasing smile. Realizing something, he was about to rise from the chair when Skadi quickly pressed down on his shoulders.

“You can’t just sit and get up as you wish. Stay seated.”

She had guessed her grandfather’s intention in seating Nash on the Grand Chair.

Today, Nash had to represent the Hero Martial Arts School.

“Fine, I’ll stay seated, then.”

Nash said, crossing his legs and continuing to smoke.
