Aiden Finnegan the Alchemist in Delcord novel Chapter 26

Just as Jeffrey and Aiden were talking, a sonorous voice suddenly resonated throughout the hall. Although it was not very loud, it overshadowed everyone's voice.

When the crowd looked up, they saw five young men in green tracksuits standing at the entrance. The person leading them was an extremely tall man, and he was looking in Aiden's direction with a stern expression.

Although their attire did not match the banquet's atmosphere, no one dared to laugh after seeing the three words embroidered on the right side of their chest—Martial Arts Association.

Everyone present had different expressions, but they all remained silent.

When James saw the newcomers, his face brightened up with delight. He quickly walked toward them and said, "You're finally here, Jordan! He almost killed me just now!" The newcomer was James' second older brother, Jordan Chapman.

Why is he here? Jeffrey wondered in secret.

The reason Wardom could stand at the top of the world despite being surrounded by many enemies was not only because it had a powerful military guarding the borders, but also because there was a civilian organization protecting the country. That organization was none other than the Martial Arts Association!

It was originally a social organization composed of martial artists from the capital, but they later developed throughout the country, assisting with tasks that the military couldn't handle. Therefore, its influence in Wardom was enormous.

Five years ago, the Chapman Family was barely a first-class family; they managed to make it this far because of Jordan.

Jordan mastered martial arts in the mountains five years ago and was already an innate martial artist when he left, so he immediately joined the Martial Arts Association. With the help of the association, the Chapman Family successfully entered the ranks of the top forces in Keyland.

Since he was already an innate expert five years ago, no one knew how much his talent had developed by now.

James was more mellow, but when it came to taking action, Jordan never considered any consequences.

When the stern man saw James approaching him, he said, "Who in Keyland dared lay a finger on you?!" While speaking, he glanced at Aiden again.

As James heard that, he was ecstatic since Jordan had always doted on him and would get him anything he wanted. Hehe, let's see where you can run now. The Thatcher Family may be strong in Keyland, but they're not enough in the face of the Martial Arts Association.

"What are you trying to do, James? Didn't we just agree..." Before Jeffrey could finish his sentence, Jordan took a step forward with his right foot. Instantly, an overwhelming aura pressed down on Jeffrey. The elderly man became short of breath and couldn't continue speaking.

"Dad!" A black-clothed man standing beside Jeffrey rushed forward and stood in front of him.

"A mere level eight posteriori martial artist, yet he dares step forward?" Jordan remarked with an icy expression. Then, he extended his hand and flicked it in the air.

"Pfft!" As the black-clothed man spewed out a mouthful of blood, he flew away like a kite with a broken string and crashed into a table in the hall, unable to get up.

"Uncle Isaac!" Zachary exclaimed.

Meanwhile, the others were all shocked, their eyes filled with astonishment. Was that the strength of the legendary martial arts genius of the Chapman Family? It's terrifying! It seems like something big is going to happen to the young man today!

With his gaze as sharp as a blade, Jordan glanced at the pale-faced Jeffrey before sweeping his gaze around. He fixed his eyes on Aiden and said coldly, "Are you Aiden?"

At this moment, the Chapman Residence's hall fell into pin-drop silence.

At the same time, Angelina couldn't stop trembling as well. Aiden beat up James mercilessly, so I don't think Jordan will let him off easily. As a non-martial artist, she had heard about martial artists killing people at the slightest provocation. What should I do?

Seeing Aiden stand in front of Jeffrey and not feeling any pressure from him, Jordan furrowed his eyebrows and thought to himself, Could this person be a martial artist too?

Angelina was still struggling when Aiden interrupted them and said, "I'll be fine. Just step aside for now."

"No way!" Angelina shouted, but her body moved backward involuntarily. When she turned around, she saw that her father was also pulling her back. "Dad!"

"We can talk later," Harvey said with a pale face, his eyes looking at Aiden full of guilt. If he had to choose between them, he'd most definitely protect his daughter.

"If you have any grievances, take them out on me. It has nothing to do with them," said Aiden calmly. A C-9 martial artist is still not a threat to me!

"You do have some guts!" Jordan sneered before turning to James and asking, "What do you want to do with him, James?" He spoke as though Aiden had already become a pig on the chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered.

James looked at Aiden arrogantly and said, "As long as you kneel, apologize to me, and call me your master, I'll let this slide."

"What an idiot!" Aiden snorted.

I've seen Jordan knock a Thatcher out with one punch. Even the Thatcher Family is no match for him. Mr. Chapman is just asking for an apology, but this good-for-nothing still wants to insult him!

"In that case, I'll let you know the consequences of offending the Chapman Family!" Jordan walked directly toward Aiden. His every step was exceptionally heavy as they echoed throughout the entire hall and struck at everyone's hearts.

"Stop!" Suddenly, a girlish rebuke sounded in the hall.
