Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In this situation, the major families of Oregon contacted each other urgently and also contacted several major families of California to discuss how to deal with the Peerless Martial Association.
As the Master of California, Lucas was also invited to the joint conference between the two states.
Edmund had called mainly to tell Lucas about this.
After Lucas received the call, he drove straight to the border of Oregon.
In the Campbell residence in Oregon
‘The Campbells were the second most powerful family in Oregon after the Ledgers. Since the Ledgers’ extermination by the Oregon branch of the Peerless Martial Association, the Campbells had become the most powerful family in Oregon.
In the spacious living room, there were already dozens of helmsmen of powerful families in Oregon.
They were all called over to discuss important matters by the helmsman of the Campbells, Noah.
But among these attendees, there were two people who didn’t belong to Oregon sitting at the conference table.
‘They were Edmund Cole and Damon Parker of California.
After the Kingstons and the Walkers retreated from California, the Coles became the top family of San Francisco, while the Parkers were the second family after the Coles.
Even here in Oregon, the two of them were still at the top.
At this moment, the dozens of people attending the conference were all holding a glistening, golden invitation card in their hands, which was the same as the one Lucas received before. But the sender had changed from “The Peerless Martial Association California Branch’ to ‘The Peerless Martial
Association Oregon Branch’.
A solemn-looking old man stood up, looked around at the helmsmen in the room, and said in a deep voice, “By now, I think everyone here has received this invitation from the Peerless Martial Association’s Oregon branch and that you’re all aware that the Ledgers have completely disappeared from the
history of Oregon this afternoon.
“Twould like to hear your opinions regarding this matter.”
The old man who spoke was the current helmsman of the Campbell family, Noah.
After the people at the conference table looked at each other, a man with a gaunt face stood up and said indignantly, “What else is there to say about this? The Peerless Martial Association is obviously trying to take over Oregon. That’s why they resorted to this trick!
“First, they exterminated the Ledgers, the strongest in this state, to establish their dominance in front of us. Next, they sent us these invitations, which is clearly a ploy to force us to admit that the Peerless Martial Association will become the overlord of Oregon!
With this person taking the lead, the other helmsmen began discussing as well.
“Yes! This is clearly a trick the Peerless Martial Association is playing! They also said that the Ledgers suffered their tragedy because they offended the Peerless Martial Association.”
“That’s right! The Peerless Martial Association previously claimed that they would never interfere with the feuds between us powerful families. Yet they have now taken the initiative to jump out and exterminate the Ledgers. They even sent us these invitations. It’s obvious what they’re trying to do!
Everyone knows it! I’m not willing to submit to the Peerless Martial Association and do their bidding!”
“Now that the Ledgers are dead, who knows which family will be the next to die? To this overbearing strategy that makes us panic, I refuse to succumb!”
“Yes! The Peerless Martial Association has gone overboard. I won’t agree either!”
The crowd got into an uproar as the helmsmen began to rebuke the Peerless Martial Association for being too cruel and brutal.
At this moment, Noah turned his attention to Edmund and Damon, who hadn’t spoken much. “What do you two think?”
Edmund frowned. “Just last night, a first-class family in Orange County, California, was also exterminated by the people of the Peerless Martial Association. And early this morning, the people of the California branch of the Peerless Martial Association also sent invitations to all the top families of
California. They claimed that they were going to hold a martial arts competition in California on the 15th of October to determine the true master of California.
“The content of the invitation is almost identical to the ones you’re holding now. The word California is just replaced with the word Oregon.
“This is enough to show that the branches of the Peerless Martial Association in California and Oregon are both doing the same thing at the same pace. As for the other states, there’s no news from them yet, but it also shows that the Peerless Martial Association is running a full operation to take over
California and Oregon.
“If we can’t use any effective means to stop them, I’m afraid that we will all become the vassals of the Peerless Martial Association.
“I think you are facing the same situation as us in California. We’re facing the same crisis and the same enemy.
“Therefore, I think that our families should unite and resist together against the common enemy that is the Peerless Martial Association!”
Edmund was clearly declaring his stand that he wouldnt sit back and do nothing. Instead, he would work together with the powerful families.
After hearing what Edmund said, many of the Oregon families, who were feeling anxious at first, finally heaved a sigh of relief and relaxed.
Damon chimed in, “That’s right. This is no longer just a matter of California and Oregon. The Peerless Martial Association is so powerful that if we can’t unite and resist together, we will only end up facing defeat.”
‘When Noah heard what two helmsmen representing the two strongest forces within California said, a hint of joy appeared on his face.
“Mtr. Cole, Mr. Parker, since you two are willing to lend a helping hand to fight against the Peerless Martial Association together with us, I hereby express my gratitude to you on behalf of the major families in Oregon!” Noah bent forward and saluted to both Edmund and Damon.
Edmund hurriedly held him. “Mr. Campbell, there’s no need for that! In the face of the threat of the Peerless Martial Association, it’s only right for us to stand together!”
Noah stood up straight and suddenly asked, “I wonder when Mr. Gray, the Master of California, will arrive. We’re going to discuss proper business soon. We need this big shot around!”
Nowadays, everyone knew about the famous and esteemed Master of California, who had suddenly emerged.
They were discussing the major events of California and Oregon today, so they naturally wouldn’t dare to leave out this big shot who could control all of California.
Edmund looked at his watch and said, “Orange County is quite a distance away. Mr. Gray should still be on his way now, but he’s probably almost here.”
“Hmph!” At this moment, an extremely disdainful voice suddenly came from the conference table. “He’s just a young man in his twenties. How dare he claim to be the Master of California? You people are too funny!
“Moreover, so many heads of powerful families are waiting here for a brat. I’m afraid that if word gets out, you people will become a joke!” a middle-aged man with a squarish face sitting beside Noah said with extreme disdain.
