Chapter 573

"Are you going to back down or not?" Paul stood proudly and imposingly.

"Tyler, that's enough." Keith stepped forward as well, standing next to P

aul. He alone might not be able to hold Tyler back, but with Paul's power

in the martial world, it should be enough to make Tyler wary. He believe

d that Tyler would be smart enough to back down.

"Looks like Tyler is about to be forced to submit."

"Who can stand against two highly influential figures when they come toge

ther?"

"I didn't know the Harmons held such influence. They were actually able t

o force Tyler into a

tough spot."

Taking in the sight of both parties at the height of their confrontation,

the crowd couldn't help but murmur among themselves. Tyler was an undeni

ably outstanding individual with a formidable background. No one dared to

confront him, even when he publicly stirred up trouble at the Harmons' b

irthday celebration. However, no matter how excellent or talented he was,

he still had to show deference in the face of both Keith's and Paul's su

periority.

"Seems like both of you have made up your minds to go against me. However

, I'm afraid it won't be that easy to make me back down." Tyler's express

ion gradually grew colder. To be able to climb up

to where he was now, he naturally had his connections.

"Wise individuals know how to adapt to their circumstances. Going against

the tide is not a wise

move," Keith commented casually.

"So we're resorting to displays of power now, huh? Fine, I'm curious to s

ee who holds the highest

authority here," Tyler said, taking out his phone and sending a message.

After a moment, the sound of orderly marching outside could be heard outs

ide the door. The sound grew louder as they approached nearer. The resona

ting sound struck fear in people's hearts. Following the noise, the Harmo

n family's butler rushed in, shouting anxiously, "Mr. Harmon, things are

looking bad! An army is forcing their way in."

"An army?" Hector frowned. "Whose army is it?"

A clear voice resounded, "That would be me!" A burly, middle–

aged man in a general's uniform

strode in confidently. Keith's expression shifted slightly at the sight o

f the man. Even Paul, who stood beside him, was surprised.

"It can't be. Even Regional Chief Roger Leinonen is here?"

"This situation has gone out of hand! It really is Sir Leinonen!"

"Oh my goodness, what's going on today? This is such an epic clash!"

Roger Leinonen was the regional chief of one of the provinces. As a secon

d–

ranked military official, he sat in the highest position in local law enf

orcement. Except for the viceroy who controlled the entire military and g

overnment, no one else could compare to him in the whole of Southern Prov

ince. He held true power. Even Keith had to show him deference. After

all, one was the regional chief, while the other was the regional deputy

chief. The word "deputy" made

all the difference in terms of power and influence.

Chapter 573

"This is spelling trouble. I can't believe Tyler was able to invite Sir L

einonen."

"What now? All our previous plans have gone to waste with his arrival!"

The Harmons were shocked and broke out in cold sweat upon Roger's arrival

. Each and every one of them looked anxious. Tyler alone was already a fo

rmidable opponent. With Sir Leinonen

backing him, they were unstoppable. Trouble was brewing for the Harmons.

"Sir Moran, General Lionheart is the pillar of our nation. Are you really

going to confront him today?" Roger targeted Keith upon his arrival, his

sharp tone establishing his authority.

Keith frowned without uttering a word. He never got along with Roger. Unf

ortunately, Roger held a higher position than he did.

"Sir Paul, you are highly respected, and I admire you greatly. I hope you

will let this matter go on my behalf." Roger turned his attention to Pau

l, appearing polite. After all, he didn't wish to sever ties with a marti

al arts master unless absolutely necessary.

Paul narrowed his eyes. "Sir Leinonen, are you here to back Tyler?"

"I'm good friends with General Lionheart. Naturally, I'm going to offer h

im my full support," Roger responded bluntly.
