79: Chapter 079: Earth Ranking Master!
The lights in the hall were brightly lit.
Sheridan Jules sat in the main seat, his face gloomy.
On his left and right were seated three people, two men and a woman.
“Dragon Master, why did you call us here tonight?
A middle-aged man with short hair and a tuft of white hair on his forehead asked Sheridan Jules.
This middle-aged man was Kerr Tolkien, the president of the South Heaven Business Association.
“Yeah, Dragon Master, it’s getting late.
Just tell us what you want.”
A fat man with a bald head and a face full of horizontal flesh piggybacked a sentence.
This middle-aged man was John Franklin, the president of the Northern Rise Commerce Association.
Sheridan Jules solemnly said: “I invited you all here tonight to discuss how to deal with that kid, Lionel Yeager.
He is like a thorn in my heart, and I won’t be at peace until he is eliminated.”
John Franklin waved his hand and said, “What’s so difficult about that?
We can each send a few competent men to kill the kid.”
“Exactly, no matter how strong he is, he’s just one person.”
Kerr Tolkien chimed in and continued: “I don’t believe that young brat is a Grandmaster.”
“If it was that easy to get rid of him, I wouldn’t have bothered you all.”
Sheridan Jules shook his head and looked at a young woman who had been silent the entire time, squinting and asking, “What do you think, Geraldine?”
The woman called “Geraldine” was Geraldine Zac, the president of the Xifeng Business Association.
Kerr Tolkien and John Franklin both looked at Geraldine Zac.
Usually, this woman was very loud, but tonight she was unusually quiet, which puzzled them.
Geraldine Zac said: “Whatever Dragon Master decides, I will follow.”
Sheridan Jules chuckled and said: “It seems that you’ve also been defeated by that kid, Geraldine.”
Hearing this, Kerr Tolkien and John Franklin were both stunned.
“Dragon Master, what do you mean by that?”
John Franklin asked with a snort.
Sheridan Jules didn’t answer John Franklin, instead staring intently at Geraldine Zac and said: “Geraldine, I heard that you’ve also met that kid recently and wanted to win him over, right?”
John Franklin was taken aback and said, “Geraldine, have you met that kid too?”
Kerr Tolkien frowned: “Geraldine, that’s not cool.
We agreed to deal with that kid together, but you met him secretly and wanted to win him over.
If he finds out that we’re plotting against him, our plan could fail.”
Seeing that Sheridan Jules was being straightforward,
Geraldine Zac readily admitted, “Dragon Master, you’re right, I have indeed met that kid.
I did want to recruit him, but he refused.
After that, I fought with him, but I was no match for him at all.”
You were no match for him?!”
“I can’t believe that kid is actually that strong?!”
Kerr Tolkien and John Franklin both stared in disbelief, their eyes full of shock.
When Sheridan Jules said he couldn’t beat that kid earlier, they were skeptical.
But now that Geraldine Zac said the same thing, they had to believe it.
Geraldine Zac nodded and said: “I can be sure that kid is a Grandmaster, none of us can match him.”
“Elder Kerr, Elder John, you haven’t had any dealings with that kid, so it’s normal for you not to know how strong he is.”
Sheridan Jules said to Kerr Tolkien and John Franklin, and then looked at Geraldine Zac and said: “Geraldine, that kid is arrogant and will never submit to anyone, so give up on that idea.”
Geraldine Zac nodded and said, “So, I also agree with Dragon Master’s suggestion to eliminate that kid.”
Sheridan Jules hummed and said: “The kid is very strong and may well be a Grandmaster.
If we want to eliminate him, we must make a decisive strike and not give him any chance to breathe.
Therefore, my suggestion is that the four major organizations send all their elites to kill the kid in one fell swoop.”
“Okay, let’s do that!”
“I agree with this suggestion!”
Kerr Tolkien, John Franklin, and Geraldine Zac nodded in agreement.
Sheridan Jules said: “Of course, in addition to sending our elites, I’m afraid that won’t be enough.
So, I also invited an Earth Ranking expert to help us.”
“An Earth Ranking expert?!”
Upon hearing this, Kerr Tolkien, John Franklin, and Geraldine Zac were all taken aback.
Because they were martial artists, they knew that there were two Martial Arts Rankings in the East Nation: Earth Ranking and Sky Ranking.
Those who could be ranked in these two lists were all the strongmen in the East Nation Martial Arts World.
There were seventy-two people on the Earth Ranking and thirty-six on the Sky Ranking.
Even the Earth Ranking Strongmen were all Grandmasters, and those ranked in the top of the Earth Ranking had already stepped into the realm of the Great Grandmaster.
As for the Sky Ranking, needless to say, even the weakest was a Great Grandmaster.
Sheridan Jules nodded and said: “This Earth Ranking expert happened to be doing business in River City, so I invited him over!”
“Dragon Master, which Earth Ranking expert did you invite?”
John Franklin hurriedly asked.
“Knife in the Sleeve, Martin Tisdale!”
Sheridan Jules replied and then said loudly: “Please welcome Elder Tisdale!”
An old man, about 1.7 meters tall, wearing a black cloth outfit and long silver-gray hair, walked in step by step from outside.
However, the old man seemed too ordinary, which made Kerr Tolkien and the others somewhat skeptical.
Was this old man really the Earth Ranking expert “Knife in the Sleeve” Martin Tisdale?
Soon, the old man walked into the center of the hall.
With his hands behind his back and a proud look on his face, he said to Sheridan Jules indifferently, “Sheridan Jules, I’m only helping you this one time out of respect for the South Protection King.
Otherwise, do you think I can be moved by a mere fifty million dollars?”
“Indeed, Elder Tisdale’s status is so lofty that even money can’t hire him.
I am very grateful for you to give me face, Elder Tisdale.”
Sheridan Jules bowed his hands and flattered.
Martin Tisdale gave a nod, very satisfied.
Then, he said: “Sheridan Jules, in order to kill that kid, I alone am enough.
You won’t need to take action, lest you become a burden to me.”
Hearing this, Kerr Tolkien, John Franklin, and Geraldine Zac felt a little upset.
This old man clearly looked down on them.
Geraldine Zac took a cup of coffee and asked: “Are you really Martin Tisdale, ranked sixty-second in the Earth Ranking as ‘Knife in the Sleeve’?”
Martin Tisdale gave Geraldine Zac a sideways glance, “Do you not believe it?”
Dragon Master said so, why wouldn’t I believe it.”
Geraldine Zac smiled slightly, “Elder Tisdale is our distinguished guest, please have some coffee.”
