Following the emergence of the gentry in Pearl, the gentry in Hopkins also emerged.
But they did not take Nathaniel's side, instead, they were very enthusiastic in exchanging pleasantries around Leo.
Incidentally, greetings were exchanged with Caroline, Irene and Marie.
Caroline and Irene were both confused.
Especially Irene.
The two vaguely remembered that when they first came to Hopkins, Leo said that he was not very familiar with it.
At that moment, Irene was still very happy because she was from Hopkins and was very enthusiastic to introduce the power pattern of Hopkins to Leo.
As a result, all those bigwigs standing at the pinnacle of Hopkins gathered and were all particularly polite to Leo.
It was only then that it dawned on Irene that, invariably, Leo had gone low again.
Nathaniel's face was unpleasant.
It was no big deal that the Pearl forces were backing Leo, but he never thought that the forces of Hopkins would also turn to Leo.
With so many forces, Nathaniel wouldn't dare to fight hard against them!
"Nathaniel, still want to take a shot at me?"
Leo crossed his legs and looked at Nathaniel with a smirking expression.
At this moment, Nathaniel's face was filled with gloom.
This time he finally understood somewhat what Cole meant.
Such a man who was followed by many family heads would not take it lightly against a junior of the Martial Arts Association.
He had his pride.
But when a man from the Martial Arts Association died, a murderer had to come forward.
As for who this murderer was, it didn't matter.
"Good, Leo, we'll settle this account later!"
Nathaniel's face was grim as he led his men away.
Looking at Nathaniel's back, Wallace whispered softly.
"Mr. Cohen, be careful, the Hopkins Martial Arts Association, in all likelihood, will make a move against you at the convention."
This was said so subtly that most people missed it.
Leo, however, smiled lightly, not caring: "So what? I'm looking forward to it."
With these words, however, Wallace was much more at ease.
Leo was so strong that he would not do anything that he was not sure of.
By this time, many dignified bigwigs had gathered around Leo, drawing many sideways glances.
Apart from the family powers that participated in the Northernland Conference, those who watched the battle were commoners and ordinary people.
Whether it was Ernie or Ronnie, they were all unattainable big shots.
It was usual to be in awe.
"Lydia, it's been so long since I've seen you, and you've grown so much."
Not far away, an old voice came.
An old man, dwelling on a walking stick, came along.
Behind them followed by two young men in their early thirties.
Only one of them was on crutches and had a broken leg.
At once, the room was filled with shock.
"It's the head of the Newman family, the Valenham royal family has finally arrived!"
The people in the surrounding stands were very shocked.
The only people who were in conflict before were the lords of the gentry in each region.
To the average person, it may have been someone unattainable, but, in the Northland Conference, where the bigwigs were gathered, the Lord of the House was only moderate.
The Valenham royal families were the ones who truly stood at the top of the food chain.
And Euan was even a family head in the Valenham royal family!
Mr. Newman would not greet someone for no reason, either to make an enemy or to return a favour.
But from the current situation, a feud was more likely.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Newman."
Lydia finally rose and slowly performed a noble salute unique within the royal family to Euan.
But a strong look of caution was evident in her eyes.
It all started five years ago.
Her husband, Leo, broke one of Angus' legs and ruined his future.
The entire Newman Clan was outraged, and this hatred would not fade with time, rather, it would grow stronger and stronger.
But at that time Leo was in the army, protected by the state, and the Newman could do nothing to him.
Now that Leo had been discharged from the army, the Newman family would definitely take a shot at Leo.
Faced with the huge Newman Clan, Lydia simply did not have the ability to protect Leo.
Olly also looked at Lydia with a playful expression.
They must remember one more thing.
The last time Lydia returned to Valenham, she had been kidnapped by the Henderson family with the intention of having her remarried into the Newman family.
Only to be stopped by furious Leo.
But no matter what, Lydia came close to becoming the Newman’s daughter-in-law.
Leo also smiled and stood up, inadvertently blocking Lydia with his body and extending his hand at Euan.
"Mr. Newman, I am Lydia's husband, and I believe you should have heard of my name five years ago."
When these words were spoken, not only did the faces of Newman family change slightly, but even Lydia and the others, too, looked shocked.
The Newman family hadn't mentioned Angus' broken leg, but he did taking the initiative.
In an instant, Lydia's heart rose to her throat and she was nervous to the core.
Euan narrowed his eyes slightly, "Young man, can I understand that this is a provocation?"
A flash of anger also surfaced on Angus' face.
But there was no intention to kill.
He and Leo had allied themselves and naturally put aside their grudges, but Olly and the others didn't know that!
Leo continued to smile warmly as if he hadn't heard Euan's threat.
