"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.

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.

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.

"Oh? And why is that?" Emmanuel asked, curious about her reasoning. 3 61%

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.

gently chastising him, "You, always so obsessed with reaching the pinnacle of martial arts. No wonder Yuna despises you." Nathan grinned cheekily.
