Chapter 1703


    At the Department of Justice of Jadeborough, Xavier stumbled into the main hall in a hurry. “Mr.


    Sanders, the delegation from Jetroina has arrived. They''re outside right now!”


    Arthur nodded in acknowledgment. “Let them in!”


    Thereafter, Xavier led the delegation into the building.


    In their lead was a middle-aged man with a beard—Kazuo Kawaguchi. He was also the head of the


    delegation.


    Behind him were five men, all wearing sharp suits and leather shoes, except for one. He was dressed


    as a samurai,plete with a katana by his side and a small ponytail at the back of his head.


    The sight of the armed man caused Xavier''s expression to darken. He confronted them at once. “Hand


    over the sword. No one is allowed to meet Mr. Sanders while armed.”


    “The sword represents the spirit of a samurai. Therefore, we''ll give it up only in death,” the samurai


    replied with a scowl on his face.


    Furrowing his brows, Xavier reached out to grab the sword.


    The moment his hand touched it, he saw the samurai''s wrist tremble minutely. Before he could react,


    he was struck by a massive force that forced him to backpedal multiple steps.


    “Jun, mind your manners,” Kazuo reprimanded the samurai.


    It was then that Arthur waved his hand. “Let them be.”


    As Xavier resigned himself to backing down, Arthur invited Kazuo, “Mr. Kawaguchi, please have a


    seat.”


    “Thank you, Mr. Sanders.”


    With a nod from Kazuo, everyone took their respective seats.


    Right before they sat down, Arthur unexpectedly flicked his fingers.


    Crash!


    Just like that, Jun''s chair shattered into pieces and copsed onto the ground.


    His expression drastically changed at the sudden turn of events.


    “Mr. Kawaguchi, you''ll have to excuse me. The chair must be old and was in need of repair.”


    No sooner had Arthur spoken than he gave Xavier a look. “Captain Jennings, bring us another chair.”


    Recognizing Arthur''s cue, Xavier yed along. “Mr. Sanders, all the chairs have been taken away for


    an event. I''m afraid we don''t have any extras left.”


    “That''s really unfortunate. I guess we have no choice but to let Mr. Watanabe stand,” Arthur replied with


    an apologetic smile.


    His words infuriated Jun, but Kazuo preempted the former''s response. “It''s no problem at all. For a


    samurai of Jetroina, standing is nothing but a trivial matter.”


    Despite Jun''s anger, he had no choice but to stand by the side after what Kazuo had said.


    “Mr. Kawaguchi, may I know what has brought you here?” Arthur asked despite knowing the answer.


    It was protocol for such delegations to announce the objective of their visits in advance. Hence, there


    was no way Arthur was oblivious to it.This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    Kazuo spoke candidly, for he knew beating around the bush in front of Arthur was futile.


    “It''s true that there''s a new star in the martial arts world. However, which one of you will be participating


    in this challenge?”


    A curious look descended upon Arthur''s face.


    Kazuo was briefly stunned before replying, “Obviously, it will be Jun, as he is the only martial artist


    among us!”


    Truth be told, Arthur could tell that the rest were ordinary folk, for he didn''t sense any aura from them.

    “Your words are enough to put my concerns at ease. Thank you for your time.”


    With that, Kazuo took his leave.
