Harvey York’s Rise to Power

Chapter 6426
"Of course, it’s possible that we will lose it all if we accept the challenge. We may ruin the Martial Arts Alliance's reputation.
However, at least we dared to face the challenge head-on.
"So what if we lose? At least we've let them know that we are courageous! But if we refuse to accept their challenge, we will only be known for our cowardice whenever someone speaks of this in the future.
"If the Islanders spread the news through the international community, not only will the Alliance be humiliated, but even the entire country won't be able to escape the infamy. We can't lose the respect and glory the people and warriors of our country fought for just because the Alliance refuses to fight.
"Not to mention, the reason the Martial Arts Alliance was formed in the first place is to let the world know the power of our country's martial arts so we can go one step further. But if we don't even have the bravery to accept the challenge from an Islander, what right do we have to call ourselves a member of Country H Martial Arts Alliance?'

Prince's expression became colder when he said the last part.
"That's why, I believe you should take what you just said back, Mr.
Chairman. No matter what, we have to fight with the Islanders."
"Prince Gibson, is it?' Madden looked at Prince with cold eyes."
Heaven's Gate is one of the weakest among all the Sacred Martial Arts Training Ground, and you yourself know just how strong you are. The only reason you can become one of the elders in this Elder Group is thanks to the work of your forebears. And someone like you dares to challenge my judgment?'
Madden slammed his hand on the table, glaring furiously at Prince.
"It's so easy for you to say that! Do you think we have no courage?
That we are too afraid to fight him? Have you ever considered that we've seen much more than you have? That we have experienced so much more than you?
"The only reason I made that suggestion is because we've seen the difference between the two sides. We know that the Shinto Way's prodigy is much more powerful than our own in the tournament.
