Harvey York’s Rise to Power

Chapter 6423
George continued to explain to Harvey and the others, "Some of them said that the Islanders must have used some tricks to win all 24 challenges. Others said that the so-called young elites from the training grounds and martial arts families were all bark and no bite. They were all used and crushed after just a single move!
"There are also some who believe that the so-called martial arts in Country H is simply a performance art and has no place during actual fights. Some even said that the Country H Martial Arts Alliance has no right to be one of the Five Directors, and they should make way for others if they're too weak. In conclusion, the Alliance's reputation is completely ruined after this.
"I even heard that a certain Elder Lee from the Alliance almost had a heart attack from the outrage. He only managed to calm down after spending a few hours in the hospital."
Ray nodded. "I'm not part of the martial arts community, but I can imagine just how troublesome this will be. If we don't solve this issue properly, not only will the Alliance become a joke, but the training grounds part of the Alliance will instantly become a laughing stock as well.

"And from what I understand about the old men leading the Alliance, they would most likely choose to ask the remaining 24 to avoid the challenge so they wouldn't all be defeated. However, choosing to do that will only ruin the Alliance's reputation even further. This is getting quite complicated."
Harvey said, "Not only is the reputation of the Alliance completely ruined, but even I will become someone publicly despised because I'm the Alliance's representative. What I'm curious about this is whether the Islander is coming for me, or purely challenging the Alliance. Or, if there's someone who wants to get me into trouble by working with the Islanders."
Tyson, Ray, and the others were stunned to hear that. They forgot that possibility.
The Country H Martial Arts Alliance wasn't fully united, and many held negative opinions regarding Harvey becoming the representative.
Even with Charlotte's help, most were still upset with Harvey. If they really did make this happen for the sole purpose of getting rid of him, then they had committed a grievous sin.
"No matter what, we have to deal with this now that this problem has already occurred," Harvey said after giving it a thought.
"This matter can be dealt with easily, to be honest. Someone needs to defeat all the elites from the Shinto Way challenging US. Because of how huge this issue has become, if we can defeat everyone from Shinto Way, then the martial arts community from the Island Nation will become mostly crippled. That way, our country's Martial Arts Alliance will be able to become one of the Five Great Directors without worries from now on.
