The next day, the much anticipated Grand Martial Showdown finals were about to begin in Nuthana’s


    upper stratum.


    Early in the morning, Emmanuel and Mackenzie sat in a Bentley driven by Wally, heading to the coast


    of the eastern district of Onza.


    Apart from their car, the Quillens rode in two other cars, one taken by Samantha and the other Quillen


    ladies, except for Hannah. The other was taken by Beatrix, Frederick, and the ever-present Shane,


    who clung to Beatrix like a piece of gum.


    Arriving at the coastal building, Mackenzie and Emmanuel led the way off the car, following the staff’s


    instructions to a ferry terminal, where they waited to board.


    The final location was an offshore ind along the coast of Onza. The ind was under the jurisdiction


    of the Nuthana Martial Arts Association, and except for specific individuals, no one had the right to


    land, not even the police. As for how the Martial Arts


    Association acquired such authority, Emmanuel and the others were unaware.


    “Manny, you’re finally here!”


    Roselynn and Julian were already eagerly waiting at the beach ferry terminal. As soon as they spotted


    Emmanuel and the others, the two warmly weed them. Behind them, Althea walked with Zaiden,


    looking somewhat embarrassed.


    “You scared me for good yesterday. Why didn’t you tell me about it? Thank goodness Mackenzie’s


    family is safe!” Roselynn still felt lingering fear when she mentioned the events from the day before.


    However, Emmanuel and Mackenzie hadn’t had time to talk to Roselynn yet wh terminal staff


    approached. Leading them was a charmingdy in charge, followed steady-footed martial artists.


    “Excuse me, are you from the Quillen family of Yeringham?” Thedy smiled warmly, showing utmost


    respect.


    “Yes.” Mackenzie nodded slightly and presented the credentials awarded by the organizers.


    “Thank you for your patience, Ms. Quillen, Mr. Lowe! Please lead your family members into the ship.”


    Thedy bowed respectfully.


    Mackenzie nodded, looking at Roselynn. She didn’t say anything, but the implication was evident.


    Zaiden and Althea’s countenances became even more awkward. They knew the rules here. Even


    though they were currently vice-chairmen of the Chamber o


    Commerce, they were not among the familiespeting in the Grand Martial Showdown. Therefore,


    they were treated like ordinary spectators. Despite arriving and waiting to board, they still didn’t get


    their turn.


    “Roselynn, let’s board together!” Emmanuel extended a warm invitation. But Julian and Roselynn still


    refused because the Summertons had also brought arge group of people, and with the Quillen family


    members, they were over capacity.


    Unable to do anything about it, Emmanuel and Mackenzie could only board with the Quillens first. The


    Summertons had to stay behind.


    “Oh, when did the Summerton family fall so low?”


    Just then, a disdainful voice came from behind the Summertons. It was someone from the Zigler family


    of Gratz. With them was Linda and her mother.


    The Ziglers had obtained a ticket to the final this year and had already allied with the


    Beckers. It was only a matter of time before they dominated Gratz. However, their ambitions were also


    great. They wanted to perform well in the Grand Martial


    Showdown, enter the Nuthana Chamber of Commerce, and be the dominant. force in Nuthana.


    A month ago, they might still have needed to look up to the Summertons, but times had approached


    them, his eyes filled with animosity.Còntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
