“Ms. Veronica, how is your relationship with Nathan?” Emmanuel asked after a 

brief silence, deciding to take the direct approach. 

“In the Chapman family, we’ve always had a single male heir in each 

generation. Naturally, the bond between siblings is very strong. Why do you 

ask, Mr. Lowe?” Veronica’s sharp intellect reminded Emmanuel of Mackenzie. 

Emmanuel knew there was no point in being indirect with someone as astute 

as Veronica. “Nathan has been eager to learn martial arts from me, hoping to 

inherit my techniques. If the Chapman family supports Ethan in his bid for the 

presidency, I’ll agree to pass my martial arts skills on to him.” Emmanuel laid 

out his offer clearly, knowing this was his best bargaining chip. 

The sisters began whispering amongst themselves, acknowledging

Emmanuel’s prowess. They knew their younger brother had always been 

passionate about martial arts, particularly to impress one of the other Four 

Beauties of Zovince. If Nathan could inherit Emmanuel’s skills, it would 

Kertainly make him happy. 

However, Veronica responded with a dismissive smile. “Mr. Lowe, forgive me 

for being blunt, but while your martial arts are impressive, the rumors about 

your abilities may be exaggerated.” 

Emmanuel frowned slightly. “What makes you say that, Ms. Veronica?” He 

normally didn’t care about the opinions circulating in the martial arts world, 

but this time, since his abilities were part of the negotiation, he felt compelled 

to defend them. 

“People say that the pinnacle of Chanaean martial arts lies with the Southern

Lannister and the Northern Wolf Warrior,” Veronica spoke candidly. “Like 

Nathan, I used to admire you, Mr. Lowe. But after today, I find myself 

disappointed.” 

“Oh? And why is that?” Emmanuel asked, curious about her reasoning.

Veronica walked over to Gale, gesturing toward him as she spoke. “Everyone 

in Chanaea’s martial arts world knows that Yorick Dotson, the Martial Saint of 

Shoiya, has been challenging fighters across our country, defeating them 

one after another. Not long ago, Master Lively here faced him in the east and 

was defeated in just three moves. The gap in strength was immense. If Yorick 

had not shown mercy, Master Lively would likely not have survived.’ 

Emmanuel’s expression turned serious in response, an involuntary smile 

tugging at the corner of his lips.

Veronica continued, “With even the Eight Supreme Grandmasters of Zovince 

unable to withstand Yorick’s strength, the only two figures we could rely on 

are those reputed to be above them. However, after seeing you take ten 

moves 

oves to defeat Master Lively, I doubt you would be any match for Yorick. 

Even if Nathan inherited your martial arts, it wouldn’t be of much use.” 

Emmanuel fell silent. While he didn’t believe martial arts could be compared 

so simplistically, he had sparred with Yorick before and knew he lacked the 

ability to defeat him. After all, Yorick was at a saintly level, even capable of 

contending with someone like Santiago. 

As Veronica broached the subject, her sisters eagerly joined the 

conversation. 

“Indeed, if this keeps up, the Martial Saint of Shoiya will dominate our

“Do you think Southern Lannister could fare better than Mr. Lowe?”

“If our country is humiliated by Shoiya, it’ll be a disgrace to the entire nation!” 

Veronica allowed her sisters to voice their opinions, clearly hoping Emmanuel 

would step forward to challenge Yorick and defend Chanaea’s honor. Seeing 

that Emmanuel remained silent, she pressed him directly. “Since you 

proposed this as your bargaining chip, how about we make a deal? If you 

can defeat Yorick and bring honor to Chanaea, I will accept your offer. What

do you say?”

“I accept,” Emmanuel replied frankly. “When the opportunity arises, and if 

ecessary, I will fight.” 

“Well, that should be exciting to watch!” Several of the sisters clapped their 

hands in delight while Veronica’s lips curved into a subtle smile. “In that case, 

I’ll let you see Nathan now.” 

“Wait, what?” Emmanuel was briefly taken aback, realizing he’d just been 

played. It seemed the Four Beauties of Zovince were indeed not to be 

underestimated. 

As promised, Veronica personally led Emmanuel to an opulent hospital room 

where Nathan lay. Though his upper body was swathed in bandages, making 

३ 

him resemble a mummy, he was fully conscious.

When Veronica and Emmanuel entered, Nathan’s once dull eyes seemed to 

light up as if given a second wind. “Did it work, Veronica?” he asked, not 

bothering to act. 

Veronica nodded, gently chastising him, “You, always so obsessed with 

reaching the pinnacle of martial arts. No wonder Yuna despises you.” 

Nathan grinned cheekily. “Veronica, you clearly haven’t read Shakespeare’s 

‘King Lear.‘ Edmund has a classic line, ‘The wheel is come full circle; I am here.‘ 

I’m still young. Sooner or later, I’ll defeat Gwain Lannister and become number 

one in the world. Then Yuna will see me in a new light!” 

Emmanuel couldn’t help but feel exasperated. First, Nathan’s unattainable 

goddess was indeed Yuna. Second, it became clear that this pair of siblings 

had teamed up to manipulate him into agreeing to fight Yorick Dotson!

Seeing Emmanuel’s expression, Nathan knew he had figured it out. With a 

grin, he admitted, “Master, I knew you’d come to see me, so I had Veronica 

help me put on this little act. Like I said before, the Chapman family is a 

usiness family. We believe in equal exchange, and in business, no one is 

without cunning. Since you’ve agreed, the next step is simple–you defeat 

Yorick, restore Chanaea’s martial prestige, and then the Chapman family will 

support Ethan’s bid for president. After that, you’ll pass all your martial arts 

knowledge down to me!” 

Emmanuel felt both amused and frustrated. Half–jokingly, he said, “You 

schemed even against your own master? How did that bullet not finish you 

off?” 

“Oh, don’t even get me started on that sho–f*ck, that hurts!” Nathan 

grimaced as blood seeped through his bandages, a clear sign of the severity
