Everyone’s eyes lit up.
That’s right. Claymoore will soon be here. If he finds out that his nephew had been beaten up, he will definitely
teach Zeke a lesson.
There will be no need for the Martial Arts Association to do anything when that happens.
Daxton quickly answered, “Master Claymoore is about to arrive. When he’s here, all he needs to do is to snap his
fingers, and Williams will be nothing but dust!”
Someone voiced out their doubts, “Master Claymoore won’t make a move easily. It’s not realistic for us to ask him
to exact revenge on Zeke.”
Daxton said, “We won’t need Master Claymoore to go to the Linton Group. I’ll make Williams come to Martial Arts
Association instead. Tell them to send an invitation to Williams. We’re inviting him to participate in our United Front
Conference. I’ll set up a trap for him. This time, he won’t be able to escape.”

“Mr. Williams, it’s been a while. I hope you’ve been well.”
“Yes.”
Hades continued, “Mr. Williams, my investigation has told me that my old boss was the one who planned the
ambush on you and the Rivermouth underworld forces.”
Zeke hummed, “Yes, I had guessed that. I removed all his power in Rivermouth, and even Eclipse and you had
betrayed him. It’ll be odd if he doesn’t come after me.”
Hades sighed, “My old boss has mobilized elite forces from the Eastend for this attack. The underworld forces of
Rivermouth will not be a match for his forces.”
Zeke answered, “Yes, but I’ve heard that the Martial Arts Association is planning to intervene in this as well. In fact,
they’ve even invited Barnaby Claymoore.”
Hades nodded. “If the Martial Arts Association and Master Claymoore are willing to help us, we’ll have a higher
chance of winning. But I’ve just gotten wind that you had a conflict with the Martial Arts Association.”
Zeke replied, “I beat someone up from the Martial Arts Association. Tell me honestly. Why are you looking for me?”
Hades smiled bitterly. “The men from the Martial Arts Association asked me to inform you to participate in their
United Front Conference. They’re planning to hold a discussion about facing a common enemy. I’m assuming this is
a trap set up for you. Mr. Williams, for the sake of Rivermouth, I hope you’ll attend it.”
Zeke answered, “I will.”
Hades hesitated, but he managed to muster up the courage to say, “Mr. Williams, I hope that when you’re at the
United Front Conference, you won’t act recklessly. Please hold back as much as you can. Eclipse isn’t much
stronger than Master Claymoore. If we really get into a fight, Eclipse and I can’t guarantee your safety. Also, if we
end up crossing the Martial Arts Association and they refuse to help us, we’ll definitely lose in the attack from my
old boss. Remember, lack of forbearance in small matters upsets great plans.”
Zeke nodded. “Don’t worry. I’ll guarantee Eclipse’s and your safety.”
Click!
Zeke ended the call.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHades was speechless.
Young man, it’s good to be confident, but it’s terrible if you’re arrogant.
He just said that he’ll guarantee Eclipse’s and my safety. How arrogant is he to say words like these?
...
The United Front Conference of the Martial Arts Association started at eight.
Zeke only arrived at half-past eight; he was the last to arrive.
The round conference table was already full. Seated were prominent figures from Martial Arts Association, Hades,
and Eclipse.
Even a city gang leader like Darren Collins did not have the right to participate in the conference.
There were no empty seats at the table, so Zeke could only stand aside.
Hades offered the seat to him with a sigh. “I’m old now. Sitting for too long makes my back sore. Let me stand up
and move about. Mr. Williams, take my seat instead.”
However, Zeke had a smile on his face as he pressed Hades back on his seat, forcing him to stay seated.
“If your back is sore, stay seated for a while longer. You’ll get used to it soon. Moving around won’t be good for
you.”
Then, he glared at Morgan beside him and said coldly, “Get up.”
