Chapter 557 Pearl Martial Arts Association


    "Arie, is your face okay?"


    As soon as Cindy left, Hayden immediately went to Arie and asked with concern.


    Arie gave him a cold look, "When that bitch hit me just now, you didn''t make a sound, and now that


    she''s gone, you just make a sound?"


    "That''s because ......"


    Hayden choked, his face filled with an expression of embarrassment.


    He couldn''t say that he was in fear of Cindy, could he?


    Not the best people from each n were able to represent the n at the Northernd Conference.


    Hayden was not the best person in Cohen family and the reason why he was able toe to Hopkins


    was because he begged his grandfather for the opportunity to do so.


    Arie wasthe one represented the Spencer family?


    To be honest, Hayden didn''t even think Arie could win!


    It was not even possible to get the upper hand.


    After all, Arie had only just returned to the family, and was no match for Cindy in every aspect,


    whether in terms of contacts, roots, money and power.


    At an all-round disadvantage, Arie''s only remaining bloodline purity was instead a disaster.


    Hayden sighed and said in a quiet tone, "Arie, I know you want to overpower Cindy, but you can''t be


    tough right now!"


    "Oh? What''s your opinion then?"


    Arie looked at him with a sneer on her face.

    Hayden immediately said what was on his mind, "The most important thing you should do now is to


    fulfill your marriage contract with me, when we are married, together with my Cohen family power, it will


    be easy for you to overpower Cindy."


    When Arie heard this, not only was she not pleased, but her eyes became even colder.


    "Get out!"


    She bellowed angrily at Hayden.


    Hayden was startled, and seeing that Arie was in a fit of anger, he did not dare to provoke her and


    left with the five injured men.


    Before he left, he even forgot to give Leo a fierce re.


    Looking at Hayden''s back as he left, Arie''s eyes suddenly swept over with an eerie murderous intent.


    How dare he ask her to get married with him? Dream on!


    He was not even as good as Terry.


    "Thanks."


    When Leo and Lydia walked in, Arie expressed her gratitude to Leo.


    Leo waved his hand, "No need to thank me, if you want to thank my wife, go ahead."


    Arie smiled, "I know."


    However, when she faced Lydia, she did not thank her, but said lightly, "I didn''t think you would stand


    up for me."


    Lydia''s smile was sarcastic: "Am I that small-minded in your eyes?"


    Arie was slightly stunned and then shook her head, "No, I thought you were still holding a grudge


    against me for bringing down your group ......"


    "That''s what you''ve got, no need to apologise."


    She didn''t expect Lydia to interrupt her directly, "Besides, now mypany is growing better."


    At these words, Arie smiled and simply stopped talking.


    "What are you going to do now?"


    Elena asked as she blew a piece of bubble gum from nowhere.


    Immediately, Arie''s brow furrowed.


    Today''s meeting, which should have been more unifying, was ruined by Cindy.


    She had lost the right to represent the Spencer family at the Northernd Conference and all five of


    Hayden''s masters had been traumatised to varying degrees by Leo.


    This situation counted as a mess.


    "Cindy, she deserves to die ......"


    Arie''s fists were clenched and her face was filled with anger.


    "Maybe it''s not so bad."


    Leo suddenly spoke out, instantly attracting everyone''s attention.


    "You have an idea?"


    Arie asked.


    Lydia frowned, Leo had been banned by the Martial Arts Association, what else could he do?


    Leo smiled lightly, "It''s very simple, I can''t go on, won''t someone else go?"


    At these words, everyone who had been listening with ears pricked up immediately averted their gaze.


    They thought Leo had something up his sleeve.


    "Do you think I haven''t thought about it? But right now most of the famous and powerful masters have


    their own owners, and the Northernd Conference is about to start, where can I find them?"


    Arie said helplessly.


    In this case, there was nothing she could do.


    Lydia had already disapproved of Leo''s participation in thepetition, and the current situation, on


    the contrary, was satisfactory to her.


    "Since you can''tpete anymore, just be a spectator!"


    Lydia said seriously to Leo.


    Elena blew a bubble that stuck all over her mouth, "Perhaps, something like a multi-king alliance is not


    feasible."


    Leo agreed with this statement.


    Each of the nine Valenham royal families, with their interests at heart, formed an alliance and were


    bound to quarrel endlessly over who had more and who had less.


    This issue of the distribution of benefits was also meant to be resolved today.


    But right now, it was almost disbanded, so what was the benefit of talking about?


    "No!"


    Arie insisted, "For you guys, it may not matter, but for me, I must take first ce in this assembly!"


    "Why?"


    Leo asked.


    Arie hesitated for a moment and still told the reason.


    "I came to Hopkins for you, but there was Cindy leading the way and opposing me en masse, and they


    forced me to make a military order that I would be expelled from the Spencer family if I don''t get the


    first ce in the Northernd Assembly."


    "......"


    At the sound of her words, Leo suddenly blushed and stopped speaking.


    Lydia was used to it, and in this lifetime, Arie would never be able to let go of this ''ex-wife'' status of


    hers.


    And, of course, it was not possible to convert.


    It was just that this reason made Elena unhappy.


    "I wondered why you are so kind as to unite the other royal families to snipe at the Newman family, so


    it''s all for your own sake!"


    Elena said in annoyance, "That''s the military order you made yourself, what does it have to do with us?


    I want to quit!"


    Elena was originally here to join the fun, so naturally she was not willing to apany Arie.


    Seeing that everyone was against her, Arie sat back down.


    She didn''t say anything, but anyone did felt the despondency and resignation of her being alone.


    Lydia sighed deeply.


    In fact, she and Arie were one of a kind.


    Originally, she should have acted like Arie, but she didn''t.


    Because she has Marie with her and Emilia.


    And Leo.


    She had nothing.


    She had been alone since the beginning.


    Leo was like a sun full of light and heat, drawing her up after she had fallen into darkness.


    Every time she watched Arie fling herself at her like a moth to a me, she had a feeling as if she


    was the third party.


    After all, without that not-so-pleasant encounter five years ago, Leo would not have appeared in her


    life.


    His wife''s name was Kate Lawson and he was the Lawson family''s son-inw.


    Perhaps five years of Leo''s sincerity and guardianship would allow Arie to shed the protectiveyer


    on her body.


    But who could say what happens to feelings?


    "Hold on! I have other options."


    Leo, who had been silent, suddenly spoke out.


    Arie, who had been in a depressed mood, immediately raised her head.


    Even Lydia and Elena looked over in surprise.


    "What other options?"


    Leo narrowed his eyes slightly and surveyed Arie and said, "I have someone here who can help you


    solve this matter."


    "Who?"


    Arie asked.


    Leo told the situation of Pearl Martial Arts Association.


    "Pearl Martial Arts Association is now mine, and the current president is Wace of the Spencer family,


    whose overall strength will not be much worse than the Hopkins Martial Arts Association, so if you don''t


    mind, I can have theme over."


    Once this statement was made, not only Arie, but also Lydia and Elena looked at Leo incredulously.


    They only knew that the vast majority of the Pearl Martial Arts Association''s forces were now


    subservient to Leo, but they did not expect that even the Martial Arts Association was among his


    forces.


    "Wace ......"


    Arie frowned, she had heard his name but had never seen him before.


    After a long silence, she said to Leo, "Things havee to this point, there is nothing else to do, and I


    believe the people you bring!"


    Leo smiled, "Okay, I''ll call him over immediately."


    "Lydia, you and aunt should just leave for now, I''lle back when things are settled."


    "Okay."


    Lydia and Elena soon left.


    Leo and Arie were the only two people left in the office.


    "Thanks."


    Arie thanked Leo once again.


    Leo gave her a look, "You don''t need to thank me, I''m not helping you for the sake of what happened


    before, but, first, to help you cope with the family matter."


    "Thanks."


    Tears suddenly flowed from Arie''s eyes, and she wasughing as she dropped them.


    "What are you crying about?"


    Leo''s face changed.


    Arie did not answer Leo''s words, but looked at him and said, "Leo, you only need to understand one


    thing, no matter what I do, I will never do anything against you, that''s all."


    "What do you mean?"


    Leo''s eyes changed slightly and he frowned as he asked.


    Thest time Arie said something almost as arcane, it didn''t take long for her to bring down Lydia''s


    Hearing such words again now, Leo had a very bad feeling in his heart.


    Arie, however, would not say anything else.


    Leo stayed back and waited for Wace toe over.


    About forty minutester, Wace walked into the office with big strides.


    "Mr. Cohen, long time no see!"


    She was followed by Millie, in a long red dress, her face full of excitement when she saw Leo.


    "It''s been a long time."


    Leo said, then walked up to Wace, hammered Wace''s explosive muscles and smiled, "Looks like


    you haven''t beenzy this time, the results are promising."


    Wace also grinned, "Mr. Cohen, I don''t dare to bezy, I''ve been training ording to Instructor''s


    method for a while now and have already developed internal strength."


    "Is that so?"


    Leo narrowed his eyes, "Come on, hit me with all your might."


    Wace did not refuse, and with all his strength, he mmed his fist heavily at Leo.


    Leo''s palm rested against it and he actually felt a hint of powerful force.


    His face was full of surprise, "Not bad, it is indeed internal energy."


    Having received Leo''s affirmation, Wace was also thrilled to bits.


    "You have been called here because you are here to represent the Spencer family at the Northernd


    Conference, and she is the one who will representative of the Spencer family."


    Leo pointed at Arie and said.


    "Kate Lawson?"


    Wace and Millie both turned pale.


    Arie also looked at Wace with dead eyes and suddenly approached him and asked, "You are


    Wace, aren''t you?"


    Wace was full of surprise: "Yes, what''s wrong?"


    "Where did you get this bracelet, ?"


    Arie asked with a trembling voice as she stared at an ancient bracelet Wace was wearing on his


    wrist.
