Chapter 360: Chapter 339: There Are Actually Two Great Martial Kings?

The various Family Heads hung up, each lost in their own thoughts.

"Mother, I also think Patriarch Whitlock has a point," Hubert Quincy said respectfully after Florence Quincy hung up the phone.

Florence Quincy pondered for a moment. "Aurora Sinclair’s strength is not to be underestimated. Have Sharon go find that girl from the branch family and learn what she can."

Hubert Quincy got a headache just thinking about Sharon Quincy. "Sharon is still angry with me and Nathan West. I doubt it’ll be easy to get her to look into this."

Florence Quincy’s expression darkened. She shot him a glare, thoroughly displeased with him and Nathan West.

Because the West Family was found to have ties to The Shadow, Nathan West had been "invited for tea" by the Martial Affairs Bureau numerous times, severely damaging the Quincy Family’s reputation.

"Contact the branch family. Invite them to the finals."

When Hubert Quincy made contact, he learned that they had already gone to the venue to watch the competition, and with the young master of the Lockwood Family’s branch, no less.

Florence Quincy gazed out the window, seemingly lost in thought, before suddenly saying, "After the competition ends, invite Aurora Sinclair to be a guest at the Quincy Family estate. Call the branch family over as well."

Hubert Quincy gave a slight nod.

After several months of preparation, the Arcadia Freestyle Fighting Competition finally began, with only partial broadcasts and media coverage. Compared to the massive publicity in Southeland, Arcadia’s Martial World was much more low-key.

This time, the Arcadia competition had invited Mr. Hector Lennox, one of the three great judges from the international circuit.

When the host announced Hector Lennox’s entrance, the stadium erupted in fervent cheers.

Hector Lennox was the pride of Veridia. He had relied on his own strength to enter the incredibly exclusive International Martial Alliance, becoming one of the few people from Veridia to hold a position of influence there.

In the Niphorian spectator section, Cassian Sherwood’s brow furrowed slightly.

The family that had exiled the Sherwood Clan to a small island during Ancient Times was the Harrow Family, one of the three Martial God clans and also a line of Royalty from that era.

For years, he had been searching for the whereabouts of the Harrow Royals’ descendants, but the family line had abruptly ended during the Middle Ages, with no records left behind.

In later generations, many had emerged claiming to be from the Harrow Royal Family, but the Sherwood Clan had preserved a Sheepskin Scroll passed down since Ancient Times. The text on it recorded certain secrets between the Sherwood Clan and the Harrow Royal Family.

Over the years, he had scoured the historical records and always felt that Veridia’s Lennox Family strongly resembled descendants of the Harrow Clan. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Although he had met Hector Lennox several times over the past few decades, he had never found proof that he was a member of the Harrow Family.

That was, until the appearance of the Young Family Notes, which surprisingly recorded the unique blood and genetic traits of the descendants of the three Martial Gods.

If he could just obtain Hector Lennox’s blood, he might be able to find out if he was part of the Harrow Family.

"Yuri, go contact Mr. Lennox’s assistant. I wish to meet with this Mr. Hector Lennox."

Each match was ninety minutes long, allowing for about two matches per morning, with a two-hour break for lunch.

Cassian Sherwood had expected to meet him during the lunch break, but to his surprise, the assistant directly refused their request.

"I’m sorry, Mr. Lennox is handling an important matter and is unavailable to see anyone at the moment."

Mr. Yuri glanced at Cassian Sherwood and asked politely, "Then would it be possible to meet this evening?"

A hint of hesitation appeared on the assistant’s face. "My apologies, Mr. Lennox has an appointment tonight."

Cassian Sherwood glanced at the high-rise across the street and asked coolly, "In that case, when will he be free?"

A powerful Power Domain pressed down directly on the assistant. His face instantly turned pale, his eyes filled with terror, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably. Just as he was about to speak, the pressure on his body suddenly vanished.

He saw the man across from him look up grimly toward the top of the high-rise.

Meanwhile, Dawn Miles pursed her lips, looking down on the people below from her high vantage point.

Her Power Domain was clashing with Cassian Sherwood’s below. At that exact moment, a foreign Power Domain suddenly brushed past her and attacked Cassian Sherwood.

Cassian Sherwood’s face went white. He instantly spat out a mouthful of blood and nearly collapsed to his knees.

He stared at the rooftop, his face filled with terror.

’Two Great Martial Kings?’

At the same time, Dawn Miles’s gaze grew wary. She turned to look behind her.

A man in a mask was standing at the entrance to the rooftop.

"Who are you?"

The masked man chuckled, walked over to where she had been sitting cross-legged, and said lightly, "The Morgan boy is downstairs waiting to have lunch with you."

Before he had even finished speaking, her new phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Alvin Morgan.

"Aurora, come to the 16th floor for lunch."

"Who’s the masked man upstairs?"

"A friend of my grandfather’s."

Dawn Miles glanced at the masked man again, puzzled, before slowly making her way downstairs.

’His power isn’t quite at my level, but he’s still a Great Martial King.’

After Dawn Miles left, the masked man abruptly let out a sigh of relief.
