CHAPTER 554 THE STRONGEST REIGN SUPREME

The atmosphere in the entire office, because of Cindy's words, instantly became stiff and stern.

Whether it was Leo, Lydia, or Elena and Hayden, they all looked at Cindy with faces full of surprise.

None of them expected that Cindy would actually give Ariella a hard time and said that she was not

qualified.

And Ariella's eyes, too, were deeply gloomy and cold.

Even when facing Hayden, whom she hated, she had never shown such an expression.

This shows how much Cindy was loathed in her heart.

"It's not your turn to judge whether I'm qualified or not."

She said coldly.

"That's hard to tell."

Cindy also sneered, "How long has it been since you returned to the Spencer family, grandfather is not

at ease with you, so he asked me to supervise you, now I'm asking if you've recruited any experts, it's

not too much to ask, right?"

Ariella did not say anything, but only looked at Cindy with an even more grim look.

As Leo watched the scene, he knew that although Ariella had returned to the Spencer’s, the Spencer

family did not treat her very well.

It was called supervision, but in fact it was interference in all aspects.

If Ariella did not recruit an expert to participate in the Northernland Conference, then the Spencer family

would be eliminated from the competition outright.

"Don't bother, I've already found the right person for the job."

Ariella collected the aura on her body and said indifferently, "Besides, the one who held this discussion

meeting is me, you are the one who is not qualified!"

"Is that so? And where are the masters you recruited, where are they?"

Faced with Ariella's mockery, Cindy did not get angry, but the smile on her face deepened.

Before she came, she had understood in advance that Ariella had joined forces with the Cohen family

to come and snipe at the Newman family, who was most likely to be guaranteed a place in the

championship, to hold this business meeting.

In reality it was up to the strongest men representing their respective families to say what they want.

Whoever had the stronger entry would have more say.

However, Cindy did not see any strong person following behind Ariella.

She had basically decided that up until now, Ariella hadn't even recruited a single expert!

Ariella said, "When I say I've recruited, I mean it, do I need your consent?"

"Then call him out!"

Cindy further pressed Ariella.

The more vague and perfunctory Ariella was, the more she became convinced of the suspicions in her

mind.

"Yes, I think Miss Spencer has a point."

Hayden suddenly spoke out, "Ariella, I've heard all about what happened to you, the first day you came

to Hopkins, you had a falling out with the Hopkins Martial Arts Association and failed to recruit an

expert, there is no shame in that, I can help you."

As he said this, Hayden's face was tinged with pride.

Although Ariella was his fiancée, given her indifferent attitude towards him, Hayden decided to join

hands with Cindy and give Ariella a lesson.

"My husband is the contestant who is representing the Spencer family."

Suddenly, a cold voice rang out.

Everyone's eyes were instantly focused on Lydia. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Even Ariella herself was surprised.

She hadn't even thought that Lydia would speak up for her.

Cindy looked at Lydia with a surprised face, for some reason her face was full of scorn.

Without contradicting Lydia, Cindy looked at Ariella: "What she said is true?"

Ariella wanted to announce this in person, but Lydia had already done so for her and could only nod

her head.

"Yes."

"Haha ......"

At that moment, Cindy suddenly burst out laughter.

Even Hayden laughed along.

"Ariella, you don't have to find a random person, do you?"

Cindy's face was filled with a mocking smile as she looked at Ariella and said.

"He's the live-in son-in-law of the Henderson family, what does he have to do with you?"

Hayden chimed in.

The fact that Leo had agreed to Ariella's invitation was known to everyone except Hayden and Cindy,

so there was not too much surprise.

"But I'm really representing the Spencer family in the battle."

Leo shook his head helplessly and took a drink from the tea in front of him.

When they saw Leo's promise, the smiles on Hayden and Cindy's faces disappeared and they looked

at him like they had seen a ghost.

After staring for a long time, finally Cindy waved her hand, "This is impossible, you must have colluded

beforehand."

"Yes, how else could he have been invited?"

Hayden didn't believe it either.

In response, Leo did not explain, but only gave Ariella and Lydia a look.

He had told the truth, but they didn’t believe it!

"Ariella, don't forget what you're carrying, you swore in front of everyone in Spencer's face that you

would win the Northernland Conference on behalf of the Spencer family, and now you haven't even

recruited a single expert, how can I trust you?"

Cindy looked at Ariella with cold eyes.

Quickly, she added: "But that's okay, I'll just recruit the best."

Just as the words left her mouth, Cindy clapped her hands, "Come in."

The door to the office opened and a middle-aged man dressed in a suit walked in.

With thin eyebrows and starry eyes, he was actually wearing the Daoist robe of the Martial Arts

Association.

"You are Kingsley, who is ranked second in the Hopkins Martial Arts Association?"

The moment she saw this middle-aged man, Ariella's face also changed dramatically.

"Kingsley?"

Leo's eyes were also slightly austere, from this middle-aged man, he felt an aura of a strong man.

And, he also looked very similar to Nathaniel.

Cindy smiled lightly, "Nathaniel is one of the co-organisers of this Northernland Congress, I can't recruit

him, however, I had a good talk with Nathaniel and he has promised me that the experts of the

association under his name are at my disposal."

"So I picked the second highest ranked master within the association, which is this Kingsley, and oh

yes, he's also the brother of Nathaniel."

Cindy's words confirmed Leo's suspicions.

Kingsley was the younger brother of Nathaniel.

"Hmph!"

Kingsley grunted lightly in a very expert manner, not putting these people in his eyes at all.

Hayden also looked at Kingsley with a grave expression, there were five experts behind him, but the

aura he felt was actually on a par with Kingsley.

In other words, it took these five people combined to match for Kingsley.

Ariella's heart took on an extra pressure and she looked at Cindy with a pale face.

Cindy had a faint smile on her face, "This Kingsley will fight as an expert of my Spencer family, but, in

exchange, I will lead the Spencer family, you can only assist me, do you understand?"

Cindy looked at Ariella and questioned.

She had a winning smile on her face.

This was a power grab coming.

A hint of anger surfaced on Ariella's face and she was just about to refuse.

Instead, Leo took her by the hand, "Listen to what she said."

So, Ariella said to Cindy, "Let's hear your opinion first."

Cindy smiled and said, "To snipe the Newman family, it's actually very simple."

Cindy continued, "I can ask Nathaniel to do something underhanded, so that the Newman family meets

us in the preliminary rounds, and after a few rounds, they will definitely be routed."

"Do you know how many people are representing the the Newman family in the battle?"

Lydia was the first to retort, "Besides, your imaginary enemies only imagine a Newman family,

forgetting about the local forces in Hopkins? Neither the Palmer family nor the Grant family are easy to

deal with."

Being refuted, Cindy was not nice, but still said, "No matter who you face, you have to group first."

"Let's start with the grouping then."

Leo actually agreed with Cindy's suggestion.

This made her look at Leo curiously.

The distribution was soon complete.

Round 1, the Byrne family.

Round 2, the Cohen family.

Round 3, the Spencer family.

And the Henderson family who was bent on winning.

With four rounds of sniping, the Newman family was bound to collapse.

Cindy was pleased with her plan.

Leo, however, shook his head and said with a smile, "No need to go to such trouble, listen to me."

"Round one, I'm on, round two, I'm on, round three, I'm still on, if you accidentally bump into me, just

admit defeat, you don't stand a chance."

"......"

After Leo said this, the whole office was quiet.

No one expected Leo to stand up and refute Cindy, and to do so with such absurd words.

Lydia, Ariella and Elena had all seen Leo strike and did not think that Leo was talking big, but really had

the strength.

But Cindy didn't know that, and even laughed in anger: "You're just a son-in-law of the Henderson

family, and letting you sit here in the audience is already very dignified, who gave you the courage to

speak out of turn?"

Sensing the anger in Cindy's words, Hayden took the opportunity to say, "Miss Spencer, he's just too

much of an obstacle here, why don't we throw him out?"

Cindy nodded and looked at Ariella: "You have indeed colluded privately, he is not qualified to be my

Spencer's strong man? Let him out, or else when I personally drive him away, it will be more than just a

simple expulsion."

Originally, she thought Ariella would be scared, but Ariella showed no fear at all.

Even Leo's wife, Lydia, had a bland look on her face.

Cindy's face sank, "In that case, don't blame me for being ungracious!"

"There's no need for Miss Spencer and Kingsley to fight, the Cohen family's strong men will be enough

to clean him up."

A cold aura erupted in Hayden's eyes, he had long wanted to strike at Leo.

As soon as the words left his mouth, the five figures behind Hayden moved.

But instead of five of them coming together, they came out with one, stout with big muscles.

He reached out a hand and landed on Leo's shoulder.

He hadn't pushed hard enough, but wanted Leo to go on his own so that it would save him from having

to strike.

However, Leo was still calmly sipping his tea and did not even look at the man.

"You've got three seconds to get your hand off my shoulder."

"Let me send you to hell!"

At these words, the big man's hand on Leo's shoulder steeply pressed harder.

Only a crisp bone cracking sound could be heard as Leo's hand that was holding the teacup had been

lowered at some point and was holding the strong man's wrist tightly.

The strong man's wrist, on the other hand, had been broken at ninety degrees, and his white bones

were faintly visible.
