"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 17.14 Sat THE

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

"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.

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

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.
