Right after King Folo left, Jared mocked the former with fury. “I didn't expect King Folo to be such a coward. Even though he's the leader of India's martial arts world, he's that timid. I wonder what the future holds for his country. Ugh, let's just forget about him. I doubt he'll be useful even if he does join us. Without him, we'll still be able to conquer Mount Chumen!”
Then, he continued to instigate everyone to attack Mount Chumen.
However, the people in the meeting weren't stupid.
Many of them hesitated after listening to King Folo's speech.
It was then the martial arts leader of Beshya stood up. “I think King Folo has a point. Chu Tianfan didn't become who he is today due to sheer luck. What if this operation fails? What if we're unable to kill Chu Tianfan? Also, what if he isn't severely wounded right now?”
Many of the smaller countries were starting to share the same concerns as Beshya's martial arts leader and worried about the consequences.
Yet, Jared merely waved his hand and said, “Please relax, gentlemen. When the time comes, I, Prince Carlo, Great Emperor Aaron, and the others will attack first. As for the rest, you may observe the situation before making your move. If Chu Tianfan is still unbeatable, you lot can just retreat. In any case, none of you need to worry about him seeking revenge. After all, this operation is approved by more than one hundred countries worldwide. As powerful as Chu Tianfan may be, I doubt he'll actually make the entire world his enemy. Additionally, I believe this operation will succeed! Believe me, Chu Tianfan has lost his ability to fight back!”
His words eased the crowd's worries and removed any lingering doubts from their minds.
“Okay! Let's do it!” Mochizuki Kawa slammed his hand on the table.
The others also made the decision to join the operation because they were certain Aaron and other powerful figures like him would be able to protect them.
Not only that, if the operation were successful, they would still be able to split the spoils of war they would find in Chu Sect.
No matter how they looked at it, they weren't going to suffer any losses.
“In that case, everyone, please return to your respective countries. Tomorrow morning, I and a few others will gather outside Mount Chumen! We'll surround the mountain and launch an attack! Remember to keep this plan a secret!” Following Carlo's declaration, all the martial arts leaders were ready to head home.
Korea's martial arts leader approached Mo Wuya and persuaded, “Is China really not going to join the operation tomorrow, Grandmaster Mo? You'll miss an earth-shattering event and the opportunity of a lifetime! I heard numerous secret martial arts techniques, such as Chu Sect Fatal Moves and Dragon God Body, are hidden in Chu Sect! If you can obtain these secret techniques, it'll greatly benefit the development of your country's martial arts world!”
In response, Mo Wuya shook his head. “Roses are nice, but they're full of thorns. Do you really think Chu Tianfan is that easy to deal with?”
The passing-by martial arts leaders smirked when they heard that.
Glancing at Mo Wuya with disdain, Jared admonished coldly, “Your father, King of Fighters, is a renowned figure. I wonder why the son he raised is such a coward. Chu Tianfan's critically injured right now. He's no different from a fish lying on the chopping board, yet you're still afraid of him? I feel like you're diminishing all the respect Ye Qingtian had garnered for China's martial arts world.”
Mo Wuya grimaced as his fists tightened, but he didn't offer any retort.
After all, he was in the minority, so everything he said would only embarrass him.
Thus, he left instead of facing the crowd's mockery.
“Hahaha!”
“He really is a coward!”
“He fled right away after being scolded by Grandmaster Jared! What a loser!”
“I can't believe the next generation of China's martial arts world is led by such a useless man.”
After the crowd insulted Mo Wuya, they left.
The next day, just as the first ray of sunlight was spotted on China's horizon, countless planes began taking off from across the world.
They were all heading straight for Mount Chumen.
