Chapter 62
Tommy’s offer instantly plunged the conference into silence. Then, the leaders of Northridge became frustrated, unable to endure his arrogance any longer.
Even if they were not united and fought individually, Tommy belonged to Southridge, they would never allow him to plot against Northridge.
His proposal to lead the Northridge Alliance indicated his ambition to expand his reach to Northridge.
Letting his influence enter Northridge would greatly put their interests at risk. They couldn’t accept letting him become the sole leader of the Mornwick underworld who gives them orders.
“Tommy, you have crossed the line.” Frankie gave Tommy a frosty stare. Jamero and the others were also glowering at Tommy.
“I won’t stop you if you are here to attend the gathering. However, I’ll have to take action if you come here for trouble. You may be the most powerful man in Southridge, unmatched by anyone. But remember, you are on our territory now p>
As Frankie declared his stance, the other leaders from Northridge also voiced their At that moment, they stood on the same front, united against Tommy.
agreement.
“Good, this is finally getting interesting!” Even though nearly sixty men in the room united to oppose him, Tommy showed no hint of fear, but instead nodded and smiled.
In the next instant, everybody heard something crack. People retreated warily to find the huge conference table, which could accommodate nearly seventy people for a meeting, split in half.
The impact threw the two halves of the broken table a few feet into the air before they crashed heavily to the ground. A young man, still maintaining a kicking posture, appeared before the
group.
He seemed to be in his mid–twenties. He was a slender man with an arrogant air. His gaze was as frosty as ice, and his aura was more imposing than the other power players in the room combined.
The Northridge leaders were horrified. The conference table weighed at least a thousand pounds, yet the young man had kicked it in half and sent it tumbling into the air, which meant his kick was as deadly.
If the kick had landed on humans, it could have instantly killed ten adults.
“Thank
you, Mr. Reuben,” Tommy thanked the newcomer. Then, he marched forward and stood in the center as he surveyed the Mornwick tycoons. “I guess you’re eager to learn his

identity. Allow me to introduce him. Everyone, meet Mr. Reuben of the Tarlyn Guild. He has gained control over Southridge. It wasn’t me but him who sought your surrender p>
Horrified by the announcement, the onlookers stood frozen in place. For original chapters go to.net
Frankie’s face turned pale. He bit back his speech, feeling his heart race.
He never expected Tommy to join forces with the Tarlyn Guild, let alone expecting Tommy to help Reuben subdue the Northridge overlords during today’s gathering.
If Tommy were to confront them, they wouldn’t hesitate to stand up against him. However, if it was the Tarlyn Guild who wanted them to submit, a majority of people didn’t dare to resist as the Tarlyn Guild was too powerful.
The Tarlyn Guild originated in the distant past, with a history of a few centuries. After all the years the ancient family had been entrenched in Mornwick, it was deeply rooted and unrivaled in resources, influence, and connections in Mornwick.
The Halloway family might be the top of Mornwick, but it was common knowledge that the Tarlyn Guild was truly invincible in Mornwick.
What was most terrifying about the Tarlyn Guild wasn’t its influential background but its terrifying power that could plunge people into endless panic.
The Northridge Alliance was formed by high–level figures in various fields, who were well- informed. They may not understand who the ancient martial technique practitioners were, but they knew very clearly that there were countless ancient martial technique practitioners in the Tarlyn Guild, each of whom could shake Mornwick.
It was rumored that the Tarlyn Guild sent out merely a member fifty years ago to get rid of the bandits who ruled Mornwick and owned countless firearms and ammunition at that time. The gesture demonstrated the Tarlyn Guild’s strength.
And now, a member of the Tarlyn Guild showed up before them and demanded immediate submission. It was like a replay of the past, and nobody dared to oppose
him.
The men shuddered in fear. Reuben watched their expression, pleased to know he had incited fear in them.
The Tarlyn Guild traveled the world to make others fear and respect them. It was their purpose, that there were no mediocre people or weaklings in the Tarlyn Guild.
“I’m ranked third among my peers. I left to achieve greatness and make a name for myself in Astria. I need people like you to realize my plan. I’m here today to offer you an opportunity.” Reuben crossed his arms. Even though the audience was tycoons who controlled tens of billions of assets, he treated them like a pile of dirt. “From today on, I’ll lead the Northridge Alliance. You must obey me and never question me. You must die if you refuse to obey me p>

The atmosphere tensed at his words. The audience held their breath, too afraid to speak.
The people of the Tarlyn Guild were as domineering as they remembered. The descendants of the Tarlyn Guild never cared about ordinary people’s lives and would kill ordinary people as they pleased.
Reuben’s authority intimidated the crowd. Nobody dared to speak, let alone opposed him.
Clenching his teeth, Frankie trembled angrily. He was only one step away from victory, yet Reuben had to show up at the last moment and easily intimidate the Northridge Alliance, reaping the fruit of his efforts.
Now that Reuben had full control of Southridge, even Tommy was at his beck and call. If the Northridge overlords also succumbed to Reuben’s power, then nobody in Mornwick could fight him anymore.
His blood ran cold when he thought of Leander’s plan. Originally, the Tarlyn family preferred to keep a low profile and stayed hidden. Therefore, Leander would rule Mornwick one day anyway. But now, the descendant of the Tarlyn family emerged and declared war.
Even if Leander is strong, he’s no match for the influential family, Frankie thought.
“It seems that you don’t have any objections. Good. Consider yourselves peripheral members of the Tarlyn Guild. You’ll listen to my orders from today onwards,” Reuben commanded, taking over the situation. His imposing figure overwhelmed them.
“Well, well, well. What a great show of the power of the Tarlyn Guild p>
Just as Frankie was losing hope, someone opened the door. Everybody’s gaze snapped to the door and found a shirtless teenager walking into the room with a white towel hanging over his shoulder. His hair was still wet as water continued to drop down. Although he was incredibly handsome, his casual look was out of place. People found him strange, wondering who he was. He just barged into our gathering and mocked the Tarlyn Guild.
“Mr. Leander?” Frankie was horrified. He was hoping that Leander wouldn’t intervene, but the teenager arrived anyway.
He knew Leander was strong, but even so, Leander couldn’t possibly be stronger than the Tarlyn Guild.
So far, Leander had only defeated Bryce. Yet, Frankie estimated there were at least a dozen martial masters like Bryce in the Tarlyn Guild, Judging from Reuben’s kick earlier, he could tell Reuben was far stronger than Bryce. If Leander stood up against Reuben, it would mean sacrificing the resources he accumulated and the connections he built in Mornwick.
He signaled to Leander not to confront Reuben, but Leander seemed to ignore him.

Reuben turned to stare at the newcomer, his eyes narrowing intimidatingly. “Kid, do you have a problem with the Tarlyn Guild p>
Leander was facing away from Reuben when Reuben spoke up. He dried his hair with the towel as he walked further into the room. He had just finished his bath a few moments ago.
After drying his hair, he tossed the towel aside and turned to Reuben. “I know nothing about the Tarlyn Guild, so no, I don’t have a problem with you. However, I find it oddly amusing that you come all the way to Ravenridge and crash the alliance’s gathering to steal my spot. How dare a half–assed Grandmaster like you challenge me p>
At the end of his words, his gaze sharpened, and he exuded an imposing aura, causing Reuben to step backward in surprise.
The Northridge overlords were trying to figure out Leander’s identity. Did he just confront Reuben, a descendant of the Tarlyn Guild, and even scared Reuben? Who on earth is he?
Reuben was upset when he realized he just stepped back involuntarily.
You coward! he cursed. You’re the descendant of the Tarlyn Guild, second only to Olivia. How could you let a shirtless boy, who appeared out of nowhere, intimidate you? It’s humiliating!
“You asked for it!” Reuben’s eyes were flaring with murder intent. He stepped forward, one foot aiming for Leander’s chest.
It was a powerful kick. It could easily destroy a vault door in an instant.
Everyone held their breath. The split table was still vivid in their minds. The new guy will be so dead the moment Reuben hits his target!
Leander stood still, without moving. At Reuben’s incoming kick, he slightly raised his left foot and reached it out to meet Reuben’s leg.
The sound of bones cracking instantly spread throughout the conference room.
