As soon as the newcomer arrived, a single glance sent chills down the spines of nearly all the masters present. They fell silent and lost their carlier bravado.
Even Otto, who was usually serious, turned pale and looked extremely uncomfortable.
“Mr. Alek… Alek Peterson p>
Theresa’s calm expression finally twisted in wariness. She truly did not expect such a top figure in Cloudveil to appear here.
“Even Alek has personally come here. Will the other six families‘ Martial Sovereigns also come here p>
Lorcan felt a wave of dread wash over him. His earlier arrogance had completely vanished.
As the eldest disciple of the Hall of the Healing Sage, he had incredible talent and a right to be proud. Yet, upon facing a Martial Sovereign, he dared not show any disrespect.
Any fighter below the Martial Sovereign realm was just a nobody and a pest to a Martial Sovereign. Not even someone as strong as Ethan would dare to directly challenge the authority of a Martial Sovereign.
Brittany’s eyes widened in shock. Although she did not know the newcomer’s identity, she recognized from his aura that he was undoubtedly a Martial Sovereign.
A true Martial Sovereign master had arrived!
Such a presence instilled immense fear in everyone present. No one dared to make any move.
Brittany pondered for a moment before glancing at Leander.
She still vividly remembered the scene when Leander had killed The Shadow with a single strike, showcasing the power of a Martial Sovereign.
She knew that while people like Sterling and Otto could be dealt with by Leander, the situation changed dramatically with Alek’s arrival.
If this matter continued to unfold, it would certainly turn into a spectacular battle between Leander and Alek. Just the mere thought of the clash between two Martial Sovereigns thrilled
her.
It had been many years since a battle of Martial Sovereign level had occurred, and today, she might be fortunate enough to witness it.

“Mr. Alek, I have been negligent. The Silverleaf situation has still not been resolved p>
Sterling hurried forward and bowed respectfully to the newcomer.

This man in blue was none other than Alek, the leader of the Peterson family of Cloudveil and one of the seven Martial Sovereigns of the Great Seven Martial Clans.
Alek’s expression was indifferent. He merely nodded to Sterling before turning his sharp gaze to the others.
“I have heard that the distribution of the Silverleaf plants has yet to be finalized. I will make the
call then.
“The Peterson family will take half of the Silverleaf plants here. The rest is up to you to decide p>
Alek scanned the crowd. Anyone who made eye contact with him immediately lowered their heads. His words had completely sealed the fate of the Silverleaf distribution.
Though everyone had complaints, no one dared to respond. This was Alek, a genuine Martial Sovereign. Who would be foolish enough to voice their dissatisfaction? If they provoked Alek, who could withstand his wrath?
While each family had a Martial Sovereign backing them, Alek’s presence was formidable. Their support was far away in Cloudveil and could not assist them here.
Alek showed no intent for discussion and spoke as if issuing commands. He did not regard anyone present as worthy of dialogue.
“Sterling, go gather the Silverleaf plants. Be careful and pack them with the soil around the plants p>
He nodded at Sterling and pointed toward the small courtyard. Sterling understood immediately and grabbed a sack, preparing to enter the courtyard.
The representatives of the other six families and Otto from the Hall of the Healing Sage were reluctant to let Alek and Sterling do whatever they wanted but dared not voice their complaints in the face of Alek’s imposing presence. They could only helplessly watch as Sterling approached the Silverleaf fields.
A Martial Sovereign was like a mighty dragon. Who would dare show disrespect to one? Even if they felt aggrieved, they had to hold their tongues. No one wanted to confront a Martial Sovereign.
As Alek was about to step into the courtyard, a graceful figure appeared and stood in his way. It was Theresa, the princess of the Hall of the Healing Sage.
“Princess Theresa, what do you mean by this? Did you not hear what Mr. Alek said p>

Sterling narrowed his eyes in an unfriendly expression. Alek turned to look at Theresa, coldness flickering in his gaze.
“Princess Theresa of the Hall of the Healing Sage?
“Do you have objections to my decision p>
Even with her composure, Theresa trembled under Alek’s piercing gaze. However, she steadied herself and bravely met his eyes.
“Mr. Alek, you have gone overboard with your approach to this.
“The Silverleaf plants were jointly discovered by the Great Seven Martial Clans of Cloudveil and the Hall of the Healing Sage. Now, the Peterson family comes and demands half of everything without discussing it with any of us. I believe not only the Hall of the Healing Sage but also the other six families in Cloudveil will have objections to that p>
The veil covering her face had been removed, revealing her delicate features. She remained calm as she continued.
“Mr. Alek, my father has stated clearly that we must bring back one hundred plants. There are only a little over two hundred here in total. If the Peterson family takes half, my father will be furious! ”
By stating this, she invoked the authority of the master of the Hall of the Healing Sage.
“Roman? ”
A hint of wariness flickered in Alek’s eyes.
Roman, the master of the Hall of the Healing Sage, was well–known even among Martial Sovereigns. He was of the same generation as Grayson from “The Four Extremes” and had once battled Grayson, enduring over a hundred exchanges before losing. Still, that defeat earned Roman respect from the rest of the martial artists.
The Great Seven Martial Clans had seen the formidable Grayson, a being capable of easily defeating even Martial Sovereigns. This content belongs to.net
The fact that Roman could last that long against Grayson proved that he was indeed stronger than most. If a fight broke out, Alek feared he would not stand a chance against Roman.
This highlighted the disparity in strength among Martial Sovereigns. “The Four Extremes” stood at the pinnacle, while Roman, though not one of them, was still an outstanding figure within the Martial Sovereign realm. Even Alek held a deep respect for Roman.
Upon seeing Alek’s momentary hesitation, Theresa felt a surge of hope. Bringing up Roman

could indeed put pressure on Alek. If he intended to use force, he would need to think twice.
Everyone else had varied expressions, waiting for Alek’s decision.
Alek’s eyes flickered as he pondered for a long while before suddenly waving his hand.
“There is no possibility for negotiation regarding the Silverleaf distribution. If Roman were here today, I might consider it, but you have not earned the right to speak with me!
“If Roman has any objections to today’s matter, he is welcome to visit the Peterson family. I will gladly entertain him p>
As his words fell, the expressions of the three representatives from the Hall of the Healing Sage dramatically changed. Theresa was also taken aback. Alek was willing to defy Roman and insisted on taking half of the Silverleaf plants.
While Alek feared Roman, he was not intimidated. In reality, the gap between them was merely one minor realm. The true source of his fear lay only in the existence of “The Four Extremes p>
Otto noticed Theresa’s anxious expression. He understood that the Silverleaf plants were vital for her. Once Roman successfully refined the Qi Gathering Pill, Theresa could quickly advance her cultivation, possibly surpassing Ethan, Daphne, and Claire.
If they did not obtain the Silverleaf, it would only prolong her entry into the Martial Sovereign realm.
He resolutely stepped forward just as Alek was about to enter the courtyard.
“Mr. Alek, this matter p>
Before he could finish, Alek shot him a piercing glance.
“You talk too much. Do you take my words as a joke p>
With a wave of his hand, a gust of wind swept toward Otto, carrying a shower of starlight that struck his chest.
Bam!
Otto coughed up blood and flew back, landing ten yards away, leaving a long trail of blood on the ground.
The others gasped and recoiled p>
Otto, at the peak of the Grandmaster realm, was just one step away from the Martial Sovereign realm. Yet he had not expected to be unable to withstand even a casual blow from Alek.
