Chapter 259 Badge
An ancient bronze token with a dragon pattern carved on it appeared in Finneganâs hand.
The front was adorned with an ancient symbol representing the south, while the back features an old character signifying the north.
Oswald, who had already rushed forward, was shocked.
He abruptly halted in his tracks and took two steps back.
âWhy do you-â
Before Oswald could finish his words, and before anyone else could react, Finnegan stepped forward with the token and raised his left hand.
Oswald tried to stop him, but Finnegan sneered, âDonât you dare!â
Oswaldâs expression stiffened. His eyes were filled with apprehension as he looked at the token.
Finneganâs slap landed on his face without any hindrance, leaving a deep handprint.
There was dead silence.
Some people were furiously rubbing their eyes, trying to confirm if they were hallucinating.
The audacity of Finnegan to slap Oswald!
Once he was certain this was not an illusion, Wilson roared in anger, âYou brat, how dare you insult my father? I-â
âShut up!â Oswald sternly silenced Wilson.
Staring intently at the token, he suppressed a surge of murderous intent, âHow did you come to possess the South-North Badge of the Martial Arts Alliance?â
After being scolded, Wilson, still confused, widened his eyes. âThe South-North Badge of the Martial Arts Alliance? How is it possible?â
The South-North Badge of the Martial Arts Alliance was also known as the Orion Badge.
The holder of this badge was like the chairman of the Martial Arts Alliance himself. Not only could they mobilize any branch of the Martial Arts Alliance in the north or south, but they could even temporarily assume the jurisdiction of a branch, superseding the authority of the branch president.
Most importantly, the holder of the Martial Arts Allianceâs South-North Badge also possessed the authority to decide the life and death of the entire Martial Arts Alliance disciples.
was equivalent to the imperial sword of ancient kings Why is the South North Badge, which should have been in the hands of the chairman, in Finneganâs hands?
This question not only puzzled Wilson but also shocked those like Winston who had heard of the South-

Only Bruce was more thrilled than shocked. He knew he had bet right.
Finnegan had no intention of responding. He held up the South-North Badge and shouted, âAll disciples of the Martial Arts Alliance, kneel!â
Before joining the Martial Arts Alliance, every disciple must recognize certain things, including the South- North Badge of the Martial Arts Alliance.
Upon seeing Oswald being slapped by Finnegan and not daring to fight back, all one thousand disciples of the Martial Arts Alliance knelt on the ground, loudly exclaiming in unison, âGreetings to the commissary of the chairman The elite members of the Martial Arts Alliance, who were following behind Oswald and Wilson, hesitated for a moment before they all got to their knees. âGreetings to the commissary of the chairman!â
In the end, only Oswald and Wilson were left standing.
Finnegan said coldly, âArenât you all part of the Martial Arts Alliance?â
Wilson said angrily, âFinnegan, this must be fake. I donât believe you!â
âMr. Farrington, do you think this is fake?â Finnegan sneered at the rigid-looking Oswald.
As the branch president of the Nuthana Martial Arts Alliance, Oswald naturally could distinguish the authenticity of the Martial Arts Allianceâs South-North Badge.
Even so, he wouldnât want to kneel down. âHow did you end up with the South-North Badge? Who exactly are you?â
Finneganâs face darkened. âWho I am is none of your business. Now, I only have one question for you.
Will you kneel or not? If you refuse to kneel, then I will consider you a rebel of the Martial Arts Alliance!â
If one was branded with the crime of rebelling against the Martial Arts Alliance, then they were deemed deserving of punishment by all.
Finnegan, who held the South-North Badge, was fully capable of doing so.
Oswald was filled with resentment, but there was nothing he could do. âIâll⦠kneel!â
He was certain that the South-North Badge of the Martial Arts Alliance wouldnât be lost, let alone be randomly found by Finnegan.
This implied that Finnegan had a background that he couldnât investigate.
Wilsonâs face turned pale. âFather!â
â
Oswald grabbed him firmly, forcing him to kneel beside him. Gritting his teeth, he said, âI, Oswald Farrington, serving as the branch president of the Nuthana Martial Arts Alliance, extend my deepest respects to the chairmanâs commissary!â
Upon seeing Oswald kneel down, Winston and the others were thoroughly shaken. Bernice, too, was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.

Upon being awakened, Millicent saw the unbearable scene once again. She was instantly overwhelmed with frustration and fainted for the third time. This caused Bishop and the others to once again fall into a state of panic and confusion.
Finnegan glanced at the stiff-faced Reginald and Mike.
The father and son shuddered, their bodies tensing as if they were being watched by a venomous snake.
Finnegan merely glanced at them before walking up to Oswald. Looking down at him, he asked, âDo you still think I need the support of all the families?â
Facing Finnegan, who held the South-North Badge of the Martial Arts Alliance, symbolizing the personal presence of the chairman, Oswald suppressed his anger and responded, âNo, sir!â
Finnegan lifted his leg and kicked him over. âDo you still think Iâm someone you can oppress at will?â
Seeing his father being kicked, Wilson voiced his anger. âFinnegan, youââ
No sooner had the words left his mouth than Finnegan kicked him, knocking him unconscious on the ground, âHow dare you vent your anger at me?â
Oswald gritted his teeth, his veins bulging on his forehead. âIt was my fault. I hope you will forgive me!â
Before he found out why the South-North Badge of the Martial Arts Alliance was in Finneganâs hands, he dared not move and show his anger.
Finnegan stepped forward, kicking him hard enough to send him rolling twice. âYour grandson abused his power and I disciplined him. Your son sought revenge on me without knowing the truth and got himself disabled. Did I do something wrong?â
Oswald clutched his chest and said through gritted teeth, âYouâre right. Itâs my descendants who have sinned first!â
Finnegan stepped forward again, stomping heavily on Oswald, ignoring his gaze that was filled with humiliation and anger. âYou pamper your descendants, allowing them to oppress others. As an elder, you fail to discern right from wrong. You even manipulate the disciples of the Martial Arts Alliance for your personal grudges, disregarding the rule that the disciples of the Martial Arts Alliance should not be exploited for personal agendas. Do you acknowledge this?â
Being trampled on in front of so many people, Oswald could no longer hold back his rage. âFinnegan, no matter what, I am still the branch president of the Nuthana Martial Arts Alliance. You-â
âAnswer my question. Otherwise, youâll be considered a traitor!â
Looking at the South-North Badge of the Martial Arts Alliance in Finneganâs hand, Oswald forcefully swallowed his pride.
âI acknowledge it!â
A playful yet profound smile emerged at the corner of Finneganâs mouth. âItâs good that you acknowledge it. According to the rules of the Martial Arts Alliance, you should renounce all your cultivation and be expelled from the Martial Arts Alliance!â
With that, he aimed for Oswaldâs elixir field with his right foot.

11:22/ Wed, Jan 24 Chapter 259 Badge Oswaldâs face changed instantly, and he wanted to stop him.
However, everything happened so fast that he simply didnât have time to react.
As Finneganâs toes touched him, a heart-wrenching pain instantly spread throughout Oswaldâs body, his decades of cultivated strength rapidly draining away.
Oswald roared in fury, âYou shameless brat, youâve actually destroyed my elixir field. Iâll fight you to the end!â
Scrambling to his feet, he reached out for Finnegan.
However, he had already lost his strength at this moment. Finnegan kicked him over with a lift of his foot. âDisciple of the Martial Arts Alliance!â
There was dead silence and no one responded.
Finneganâs tone became serious. âDisciple of the Martial Arts Alliance!â
The disciples of the Martial Arts Alliance finally snapped back to reality from the shock of Oswaldâs elixir field being destroyed.
Two seconds later, they responded in unison, âHere!â
Finnegan waved his hand and commanded, âPass on this message. Oswald Farrington, the branch president of the Nuthana Martial Arts Alliance, has indulged his descendants in the misuse of their power to intimidate others. They are perceived as arrogant, lawless, and involved in various malevolent acts. Oswald himself is unable to discern right from wrong and has exploited the members of the Martial Arts Alliance for personal vendettas, which is a serious violation of the rules of the Martial Arts Alliance. From this day forward, Oswaldâs cultivation and his position as the branch president are hereby revoked. He is expelled from the Martial Arts Alliance. Every member of the Farrington family who joins the Martial Arts Alliance is to be expelled. Not a single one will be spared!â
The disciples of the Martial Arts Alliance responded in unison, âUnderstood!â
