Chapter 570: Chapter 570 Rising Hope_1
Isaac Grey looked at everyone’s eyes and began to explain, “Before, when no new person was joining, it was natural to follow the old rules.
But Barry Wolfe rose above the Stuart Family, so the rules can no longer be the same as before.
How can a newcomer join the Union of Seven Provinces without going through some sort of test?”
“That’s right, Barry Wolfe is a newcomer, and a newcomer joining the alliance naturally needs to be tested, and as for what the test is, isn’t that for us to decide?”
“Hahaha, old Isaac sure has a quick mind.”
Everyone instantly understood Isaac’s meaning, exchanged glances, and burst into laughter simultaneously.
...
“With your strength, even if you fight him one by one in succession, you’d probably still be no match for him, right?”
“Nonsense…”
Upon hearing this, Isaac couldn’t help but let out a laugh and a curse, but when he turned his head and saw the speaker’s face, his pupils shrank sharply, and his muscles tensed up suddenly.
Because the speaker was none other than Drake Stuart!
All of them were of Grandmaster Realm strength, yet nobody noticed how or when Drake Stuart had entered.
Whoosh!
The others stood up at the same time, watching Drake Stuart with wary faces.
Seeing their expressions, Drake couldn’t help but laugh and said, “No need to be so tense. I’ve come here this time only to discuss a deal with you.”
Something crossed Isaac’s mind, and his eyes lit up slightly as he asked, “A deal? What deal?”
Drake spoke calmly, “I just said it, all of you together, even if you take turns fighting, might not be able to defeat Barry Wolfe.”
“Bullshit, it’s just Barry Wolfe. What, is he going to ascend to heaven or something?”
“That’s right, Barry Wolfe is indeed very powerful, I admit, but saying that all of our families together can’t beat him is a bit of an exaggeration.”
“I see, you’re trying to use our hands to get revenge for the Stuart Family, aren’t you?”
“Hehe, since you don’t believe it, let’s just drop the subject. The martial contest begins tomorrow, and I hope you won’t regret it.”
Drake left with a disdainful sneer on his face, turning to walk outside.
The others still wore mocking smiles, believing that Drake Stuart was trying to use them to avenge the Stuart Family, which is why he was exaggerating the threat.
Isaac, however, frowned slightly and called out just as Drake was about to leave the study, “Hold on, younger brother Drake, since you’re here, why not make things clear before you go?”
Drake paused in his step for a moment, then slowly turned around and casually waved his hand, causing wild winds to sweep through the room all of a sudden.
The howling wind whipped around their ears, and the documents on the desk fluttered violently in the gusts.
At that moment, everyone in the room widened their eyes, their faces a mixture of shock and awe, staring at Drake Stuart.
Drake seemed quite pleased with everyone’s reactions. With a slight smile, he gestured again, and the fierce wind in the room instantly vanished without a trace.
“Generating wind with a flick of the sleeve!”
“This is… a skill only those in the Dao Realm possess!”
“Have you achieved the Dao Realm?”
The shock on everyone’s faces turned into profound astonishment.
“Not yet, but soon!”
Drake’s gaze was indifferent, sweeping over their faces as he spoke faintly, “I said that none of you here can beat me. Any objections?”
Hearing this, their expressions turned ugly.
Isaac was also displeased but still patiently replied, “Indeed, we cannot defeat you.”
“Right, yet I was still defeated by Barry Wolfe.”
As he spoke, Drake opened his robe to reveal a scar about twenty to thirty centimeters long.
“Do you see this cut?”
Pointing at the scar, he seemed to recall the failed surprise attack, and his mouth twitched involuntarily a few times.
“Just one cut!”
Drake abruptly raised his head, “He struck me with just one cut, even as I was attempting a surprise attack.”
Hisss!
Hearing his words, everyone was shocked.
“How is that possible?”
“With your movement technique, how did he detect you?”
They had experienced Drake Stuart’s movement technique for themselves. Several Grandmasters were chatting, and yet they hadn’t seen how he managed to enter their presence, which was already telling.
But even with such a rapid movement technique, Barry Wolfe had seen through it.
Was Barry Wolfe really that fearsome?
Drake Stuart sneered, “Do you still think that by using a war of attrition, you can take down Barry Wolfe?”
At that, everyone fell silent, including Issac Grey, all sunk into deep thought.
Seeing the effect he had achieved, Drake Stuart slowly continued, “Of course, he’s been injured, and the injury is probably quite severe. I don’t know if he has recovered in these past two days.”
“Injured?”
Zheng Wanzhou sneered, “You must be dreaming. I saw him shopping with his girlfriend yesterday, and he looked as healthy as ever.
There’s no way he’s injured. In fact, he might even be in better spirits than you are right now.”
Drake Stuart’s face changed subtly as he said, “He’s recovered that quickly?”
“That I wouldn’t know,” said Zheng Wanzhou.
Drake Stuart’s brow relaxed, and he chuckled lightly, saying, “No matter, I still have a method. Once deployed, it will either kill him or cut his life in half.
When the time comes, no matter how formidable he is, won’t he still be at our mercy?”
“You have such a method?”
“Can’t you start now?”
Drake Stuart shook his head and said, “This method of mine is time-limited. If it’s deployed too early, we may miss the window for the match.
It’s best to wait for when he’s exhausted. Then, with a final push, we can directly slay him on the arena.”
Issac Grey asked, “Are you suggesting we employ a war of attrition to deplete Barry Wolfe’s strength?
Then, once he’s exhausted, we spring into action and kill him on the arena in one fell swoop?”
Drake Stuart gave a thumbs up and praised, “Exactly, Brother Issac is indeed clever. That’s exactly what we should do, to ensure that the kid never recovers.”
“Are you sure your method will work?”
“Absolutely, I swear on the name of the Stuart Family!”
Drake Stuart declared with conviction, “If it doesn’t work, let the Stuart Family be wiped out!”
Hearing his words, everyone involuntarily shrank their necks, thinking this man was too ruthless, casually using the lives of his entire family for an oath.
After pondering for a while, Issac Grey asked, “What do you want?”
Drake Stuart stated as if it were obvious, “Very simple, the Stuart Family returns to Grey Province, and the Union of Seven Provinces is as it was before.”
Upon hearing this, everyone frowned.
The resources of Grey Province had long been considered their own by them. Drake Stuart’s words were equivalent to shattering their fantasies and hopes.
How could they be willing to agree?
Seeing the expressions on their faces, Drake Stuart knew what they were thinking and sneered, “Of course, if you think my proposal is problematic, feel free to try it out.
See if your combined strengths can kill Barry Wolfe in a war of attrition!”
Issac Grey looked at him intently as if trying to spot a lie. After a long moment, he spoke again, “The Grey family agrees.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the room was filled with astonishment.
Among the seven provinces, the Grey family was the most powerful, and the other families always followed their lead. With Issac Grey’s agreement, they found themselves in a dilemma.
Zheng Wanzhou’s eyes shifted, and he spoke, “Since Brother Issac has agreed, there’s nothing much for me to say. I just hope that this time we will manage to kill Barry Wolfe and quell the hatred in my heart.”
“Agreed, let’s do it together. I also agree.”
After Zheng Wanzhou agreed, the remaining families all consented.
Drake Stuart saw this scene, and a wide grin spread across his face. He was extremely happy because the Stuart Family finally had a hope of rising again.
What do you think?
