Chapter 269

The next day, ten men dressed in white sat along the long table in the meeting room of the Riverton Martial Arts Association hall in Sunderland. The men were the leaders of the Riverton Martial Arts Association, as well as the rule-makers of the Riverton martial arts scene, which made them the linchpins of the industry. Every martial arts family in the area had to abide by the rules set up by this group of men or risk being penalized by the association. At the head of the table sat an old man with graying hair—Maverick Kolger, the president of the Riverton Martial Arts Association. Usually, the top leaders would not congregate unless they had to convene to discuss important decisions.　 However, no decisions were to be made that day. They had merely shown up to wait for a guest's arrival. Moments later, Maverick stood up from his seat. He announced, "He's here." The top leaders rose from their seats with varied expressions. They heard the patter of footsteps from outside the door.
