Chapter 884: Chapter 884: Courtesy Before Force Chapter 884: Chapter 884: Courtesy Before Force The martial arts association was disgraced, and as the president of the association, he naturally felt humiliated!
For hundreds of years, the martial arts association was a breeding ground for the strong and teed with experts!
It seed when ntioning martial arts, everyone would think of the martial arts association.
Indeed, the martial arts association had beco the symbol of martial arts!
The Lighting Building they resided in was even hailed as the holy land of martial arts!
When the authority was challenged, Jerry Anderson had to step forward to uphold it!
Otherwise, all their current glory would vanish into thin air.
“No leads.”
Heathcliff Abernathy closed the folder in his hands, leaned back in his chair, and remained silent.
Investigate?
There was not a single clue left at the scene.
Apart from the mutilated corpses and the wrecked Land Rover sedan.
To find traces of poison was already hard enough.
As for the murderer?
They really didn’t know.
“We must investigate it anyway!”
Whoosh!
Jerry Anderson slamd the table fiercely, anger lacing his tone, “For the first ti in hundreds of years, soone has tread on the head of our martial arts association!
If we swallow this humiliation, you and I might as well leave this building, open a martial arts gym, and live out the rest of our days.”
Silence.
In the eting room, only the sound of breathing remained.
Having basked in glory, no one was willing to fade into obscurity.
They could live a life of wealth and luxury with endless riches.
All thanks to the golden signboard of the martial arts association!
Once the golden signboard was shattered, they would lose everything they had.
“Darrell Huntington…” Heathcliff Abernathy frowned slightly and took a deep breath, “Darrell Huntington does have so clues, it’s just that…”
“Just what!”
Jerry Anderson spoke with a grave tone, “At a ti like this, speak directly, don’t be tentative!”
The martial arts association was in dire straits; even if they accomplished vengeance, it would still cause incalculable damage to their reputation.
But if they let the murderer roam free, the prestige of the martial arts association would plumt!
Especially since in a few months, Jasper Leopold was set to beco a five-star martial artist.
The whole world was waiting for this news.
Instead, Jasper Leopold was dead.
The grand celebration planned for an entire year had beco a joke.
“Darrell Huntington speculates that Director Leopold’s death might be related to a young man nad Julius Reed,” Heathcliff Abernathy said, looking at Jerry Anderson with a grave expression.
“This ti, Darrell Huntington is asking for our martial arts association’s intervention, intending to execute this youth!”
“A youth?”
Jerry Anderson let out a cold laugh, “A re youth was capable of killing a director of our martial arts association?
If that’s the case, then what face do we have to call ourselves the holy land of martial arts?”
According to his estimation, whoever killed Jasper Leopold must have been a well-known old monster!
Or perhaps, one of the sects that bore a grudge against the martial arts association!
Otherwise, how could a permanent director of the great martial arts association, accompanied by a group of elite disciples,
Die without a trace?
Not even a ssenger escaped to report the incident?
“I don’t believe it either, but Darrell Huntington has always been ticulous in his actions, as you know,” Heathcliff Abernathy looked at Jerry Anderson, taking a deep breath, “Jasper Leopold’s weapon was cut clean in half.
We conjectured and listed a bunch of Grandmasters who might have taken action, but none of them had any reason to do so.”
Darrell Huntington and Jerry Anderson had a close relationship.
This was known to everyone in the martial arts association.
Otherwise, how would a permanent director of the great martial arts association personally go to the capital city?
To attend sothing like a banquet?
“What did Darrell Huntington say?”
Jerry Anderson interlocked his hands, his eyes fixed on Heathcliff Abernathy.
No matter what, he couldn’t shirk his responsibility for this matter.
If it hadn’t been for his close personal relationship with Darrell Huntington, Jasper Leopold wouldn’t have left Nathaniel City to go to the capital city.
With the martial arts association suffering heavy losses, as the president, he must take responsibility.
“This youth once sparred with the Chandler Swordman and won.
A complete victory known to everyone in the capital city!” Heathcliff Abernathy finished, and discussions began to stir within the eting room.
“But, Nathanael Warm?”
“Chandler Swordsman is very strong.
I once sparred with him and didn’t gain the slightest advantage!”
“I have also experienced his Sword Intent, very pure!
If he hadn’t betrayed Boulevard back then, he would have beco a Sword Saint for sure!”
Nathanael Warm’s reputation was considerable.
Almost all mbers of the martial arts association had heard of him.
So of them had even exchanged pointers with Nathanael Warm.
The circle was just that small, essentially full of acquaintances.
“Nathanael Warm’s Sword Intent is pure, he’s a master!
But, why would Julius Reed have a conflict with him?”
Upon hearing Nathanael Warm’s na, Jerry Anderson’s countenance took on a grave expression.
Chandler Swordsman.
The title “Swordsman,” was not sothing an ordinary person could bear.
“The Capital’s Lopez Family, Jennifer Lopez, holds a vendetta against Julius Reed!
And Nathanael Warm is Jennifer Lopez’s man.”
Heathcliff Abernathy took out a piece of paper from his pocket and looked at it carefully, “I sent soone to track down Nathanael Warm’s whereabouts last night, but the Chandler Swordsman vanished like smoke, leaving no trace behind!”
The eting room fell silent once again.
To defeat Nathanael Warm?
A youth?
Even among the talented youngsters within the martial arts association, none could withstand more than three strikes from Nathanael Warm!
ƝοѵǤο.ƈο
Now, hearing that a youth had managed to defeat Nathanael Warm, their hearts were tumultuous.
Utterly shocked!
“Did anyone witness it with their own eyes?”
Jerry Anderson’s heart sank.
“In the Capital, hundreds of socialites saw it with their own eyes!” Heathcliff Abernathy pushed a piece of paper toward Jerry Anderson, “At Nathanael Warm and Jennifer Lopez’s grand wedding, Julius Reed personally orchestrated the plot that led to Jennifer Lopez’s sudden death!”
“Good!”
Jerry Anderson laughed heartily, “Indeed, heroes erge from youths!
Given ti, this lad will surely beco a great figure!”
Smack!
He crumpled the paper in front of him into a ball and tossed it into the trash bin, “But now, I am going to end his life!”
“President, aren’t you going to investigate?”
Heathcliff Abernathy felt it was sowhat abrupt.
“You’re deciding just like that, he’s related to Jasper Leopold’s death?”
To not even investigate seed rather hasty.
If they were to wrongly accuse a good person, would it not affect the martial arts association’s reputation?
“Investigate!
Of course, we’ll investigate!”
Jerry Anderson sneered, “But it has no relation to killing him!
Are we supposed to wait decades for this kid to beco a threat to us?”
At such a young age, to have defeated Nathanael Warm!
This was a talent that cos once in a millennium!
He could not let this youth develop further.
“Who will go?”
Jerry Anderson looked around the room.
No one spoke up.
“This concerns the dignity of our martial arts association, what are you all doing!”
He was a bit angry.
“Our martial arts association embodies Magnanimous Integrity, and we do not wish to engage in such petty actions.”
Heathcliff Abernathy stood up and said coldly, “I have things to attend to, I’ll take my leave now.”
Having said that, he strode out.
In the eting room, Jerry Anderson’s face was as still as water.
“I will go!”
The vice president, Charmy Kims, spoke up, “Since this matter is already public knowledge, why not use a strategy of courtesy before force.
We can demonstrate the magnanimity of our martial arts association without compromising our dignity.”
“You handle this matter, and leave the montum building to ,” Jerry Anderson said with narrowed eyes, feeling that there was more to the situation than t the eye.
“Good!
I’ll prepare today, and tomorrow head to the Capital.
While investigating, I’ll take out Julius Reed!”
Charmy Kims chuckled lightly, “Whether or not he’s connected to Director Leopold’s death, I will see to it that his head falls!”
Darrell Huntington had close personal ties with Jerry Anderson, and by doing this, he would also be doing Jerry Anderson a favor.
“eting adjourned!”
Jerry Anderson stood up and walked out with large strides.
