Chapter 1677
“Back then, after Bernard defeated the top fighters from seven countries, his next stop was supposed to be Thyania. At the time, the martial artists there were shaking in their boots p>
“But then, their attitude suddenly changed. They became arrogant and cocky, even publicly taunting Bernard, saying that if he dared to set foot in Thyania, he wouldn’t leave alive p>
“And shortly after that, something happened to Bernard p>
“There must be a reason why the Thyanian martial artists suddenly changed their tune. Dad suspects they already knew something was going to happen to Bernard, and that’s why they got so bold p>
“No matter who the real mastermind behind Bernard’s poisoning was, the martial artists in Thyania probably know something p>
“Dad is worried that questioning them directly would tip them off, so he’s using Punikun’s father as an opening p>
“The Punikun family is highly respected in Thyania’s martial arts community. Dad suspects Punikun’s grandfather knows the inside story from all those years ago p>
“But for now, it’s just a suspicion. We have no proof p>
Evan frowned, his expression grim. “Whether they know the inside story or not, I have to be at that tournament p>
He was burning with a desperate, clawing need to avenge Bernard. But he knew it wouldn’t be easy. Bernard himself had searched for years without finding the culprit. So, he had devised a plan of his own. It was a bit risky, though… so he didn’t dare say it out loud yet. He was afraid Tarquin and Elliot would stop him out of concern for his safety. Keeping the plan to himself for now, Evan said with a cold look, “Even if there’s proof that the Thyanian martial artists know nothing, I still have to go to Thyania. Some of them have pissed me off p>
“How did they piss you off?” Elijah asked.
“They’re providing electricity and internet to those scam compounds,” Evan said, his voice sharp with anger. “I’m not happy about that p>
“The scam compounds are harming our people, which makes them the
masterminds. But that makes the others accomplices p>
“Bernard used to say that anyone who dares to harm our people, no matter how far
away, must be brought to justice! Not a single one can be spared p>
“And Mom always says that a good man should protect his country p>
Elliot and Elijah fell silent.

Recently, an incident involving a famous actor, coupled with the case of a soldier’s descendant, had pushed the scam compounds in Thyania and Mariana Land into the media spotlight. As more and more victims came forward, people from their country were thoroughly enraged, filled with a deep-seated hatred for those operations. Because many of their compatriots had gone missing while vacationing in Thyania, and since the electricity and internet for the compounds were rumored to be supplied by Thyania, public opinion had soured on the country. The outrage was bound to have a huge impact. Whether for safety concerns or out of anger, celebrity concerts were being canceled, and tourists were canceling their trips in droves, dealing a devastating blow to Thyania’s tourism industry.
Evan, with his innate sense of justice, deeply influenced by his great-grandparents and his mother, had an incredibly strong patriotic heart. If he had a chance to act, he would just stand by and watch, This martial arts tournament in Thyania was, for Evan, am opportunity. On top of that, his heart was shattered by Bernard’s death, and he needed a way to vent his pent-up rage.
Elliot let out a heavy breath. “Next month, I’m going with you p>
Elijah, frowning, also declared, “I’m going too p>
