"Felix! Something's happened to Nessa!" yelled Jack.

"What happened?" Felix asked immediately.

"I don't know!" replied Jack anxiously. "She sent me a message asking me to look for you, mentioning something about Martial Alliance visiting her home to stir up trouble. She didn't pick up when I tried to call her."

Martial Alliance? Felix abruptly recalled that Vanessa was a martial artist, so her family definitely had connections to the world of martial arts as well-except they shouldn't have been that intricately involved, so how had they gotten entangled with the Martial Alliance? "You can stop concerning yourself with this matter," he told Jack. "I'll handle it!"

He had to get to the scene in person. It would be best if he could solve it by himself and only pull out his trump card-Dragon Alliance if things didn't work out.

Even if outsiders may be clueless, he couldn't be more aware of Dragon Alliance's current situation. They were like a sheep donning a wolf's pelt right now, relying heavily on people's respect for their prior prowess to maintain a strong front. Therefore, it would be for the best if they didn't get involved with Martial Alliance.

After all, it wouldn't be wise to get Eloise to mobilize men to deal with the situation again. The first time, people had been shaken.

However, if it happened a second time, word was going to start going around that Dragon Alliance had completely fallen from grace, because why else would they need to call upon their founder for every little situation they encountered? Besides, he really didn't know anyone else in Martial Alliance, so all he could do was head over there himself.

The Meyers' household in Canraville was essentially composed of several townhouses knocked down and then renovated into a single villa, so it took up quite a large area of lar

At that moment, there was a seductive woman sitting on a couch in the villa's enormous living room. Behind her stood four people dressed in identical uniforms. Any ordinary martial artist could tell at a glance that those were Martial Alliance uniforms. Everyone else, including Vanessa, was standing. It was as if they weren't even qualified to stand on equal footing with that woman.

"Ms. Schneider, would you please have mercy on us and give us one more year of grace?"

The middle-aged man who had spoken was Vanessa's father, Brock Meyer. Currently, he

was fully ingratiating himself with the woman, who was known as Amary Schneider. It simply lent credence to the saying that even lions had to submit to even stronger lions.

"Have mercy on you?" echoed Amary, "Mr. Meyer, the conditions I've given you are already lenient enough as is. I'll have you know that Mr. Tate is sleeping outside right now. If you drag this on until he wakes up and joins us, you know what the consequences will be.

Brock bitterly acknowledged that Martial Alliance indeed treated some martial artist families and factions quite well. Not only did they offer loans with lower interest rates than bank loans, they even had books on martial arts techniques available for rent.

Take their own family, the Meyers, for example-they had borrowed quite a large sum of money from the Martial Alliance as well as two books on martial arts techniques.

He tried to reason with Amary. "My bank loan will definitely be approved within the month, so I'll be able to repay the loan with interest by then. Please give us another chance, Ms. Schneider."

In truth, the monetary issue was only secondary to the books on martial arts techniques. They had already reached the most critical stage in learning the techniques, so if Martial Alliance reclaimed the books now, their efforts would pretty much have been for nothing. Moreover, the Alliance stipulated that if a crisis of confidence occurred, it would become impossible for them to borrow any books on martial arts techniques in the future.

Amary stood up with a sneer on her face.

"That won't be possible," she declared. "I see how it is, Mr. Meyer. From the looks of it, you intend to default on the payment. Very well, then! I'll wake Mr. Tate and have him speak with you instead." Just then, Vanessa stepped forward in a rush of anger. "You, Schneider woman! Did you have to resort to such despicable means just because I insulted you that one time?

"Our family clearly still had more than half a year to go before our loan and book rental periods were due, yet you insisted on bringing forward the due date on account of some rule violation or other!

"If you have the guts, why don't you come at me directly instead of going after my family?" The expressions of the Meyers changed. Amary practically appeared right before Vanessa in a flash and slapped her across the face.

"Haven't you learned your lesson after taking a beating for your potty mouth the last time?" she asked coldly. "I'm going to show you just how large of a difference there is between you and a Schneider woman, as you so put it." She took a step back, motioning lightly with her left hand.
