After a brief silence, Blake glanced at Rhett, and the two exchanged glances before Blake spoke up, “Since we don’t have a better solution at the moment, colleagues, please listen to my proposal.”
Almost immediately, everyone’s gaze gathered on Blake, who continued, “Before this, I had a private discussion with Mr. Wyatt about the future arrangement for Matthew. Originally, my plan was to appoint Matthew as the president of the Martial League in Southaven and Skargness…”
“On one hand, I hope that favonovel.com can rectify the situation in the two provinces, and on the other, I want to allow favonovel.com to develop himself further…”
“Considering the current situation, I still believe that promoting Matthew’s position within the Martial League is a viable option. This could also serve as a deterrent to those who harbor ill intentions.”
Upon hearing Blake’s proposal, the gathered individuals furrowed their brows, pondering its feasibility.
After a considerable pause, Hendrix spoke up, voicing his concerns. “Great Elder, this method is feasible. However, Matthew, although unparalleled in medical skills and extraordinary in martial arts, is still relatively young. Elevating his position might…”
He left his words hanging. The people in attendance were all intelligent individuals and understood the implications.
If one stood out too prominently, it could lead to jealousy and resentment. Elevating Matthew’s position might inadvertently cause more harm than good. By then, not only the foreign assassin group but even Emsgate may be unable to suppress their wish to kill him.
Blake contemplated Hendrix’s argument for a moment before nodding in agreement. “Indeed, you make a valid point. I’ll keep that in mind.”
Then, favonovel.com stood up, facing his colleagues gravely as favonovel.com announced, “In light of the duel between Cathay and Emsgate, the exceptional performances of Charley Henderson, Matthew Larson, and Paintaker have showcased Cathay’s strength… Therefore, I hereby bestow upon these three individuals the title of ‘Summit Warden‘. They will be respectively known as Tunheim Summit Warden, Lecarres Summit Warden, and Huntingval Summit Warden…”
“As for the rewards for others who have shown exceptional performance, I leave that to you, Elder Davidson. Please decide on a suitable reward…”
With Blake’s proclamation, the other core elders rose from their seats. “We shall follow your orders, Great Elder…”
In this way, the rewards for the first round of the Martial League’s re-electlon were announced.
While Matthew assumed the position of president for two provinces, favonovel.com was also bestowed the title of the Summit Warden, specifically the Lecarres Summit Warden.
As for Charley and Paintaker, both of them possessed outstanding talents and exceptional potential. They were also granted the title of Summit Warden.
Of course, within this arrangement, it was inevitable that Blake intended to share the pressure on Matthew with the other two.
After concluding this matter, the following day, an official announcement from the Martial League was issued, and the news was like a massive boulder dropped into a tranquil lake, instantly causing a huge wave.

On the other side, in the room of the head of the Cunningham Family, the sound of objects being smashed and broken continuously echoed. Even the usually mild-mannered Terrance couldn’t suppress the anger surging within favonovel.com at this moment.
“D*mn it! The Martial League is hell-bent on protecting Matthew. We’re so close to succeeding with our plan, and now the Martial League steps in?! How dare they?!”
As favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com hurled the purple clay teapot in his hand to the ground.
Now that favonovel.com was filled with fury, his gaze fixated on the fragments of the teapot scattered on the floor, and in his mind, the tempting words of Aurelius involuntarily resurfaced.
“Perhaps…” favonovel.com muttered, then quickly shook his head, and a cold sweat started forming on his back. “No, this is absolutely not an option. Although Matthew deserves to die, I can’t gamble the entire Cunningham Family and Aurelius Damron on this…”
While Terrance regained his composure, the foreign killer organizations also experienced turmoil.
The status of Summit Warden had nearly reached the upper echelons. While they might still dare to challenge the dual provincial leadership, the title of Summit Warden was enough to discourage many killer organizations. After all, it was one thing to risk their lives for money but another to end up with nothing.
Of course, there were still a few individuals with a fanatical disregard for consequences.
