Sensing the footsteps from behind, Liam paused and turned around. An elderly man dressed in traditional oriental attire with white hair and a beard slowly made his way to the platform at the mountaintop, his spirit undiminished by age.

The old man did not see Liam practicing the Eight Extremities Fist. He only noticed Liam's finishing stance.

Liam greeted him with a smile, seemingly eager to exchange pleasantries.

"Old man—"

"Here we go again…"

However, the old man frowned with disdain as he looked at Liam.

Liam froze. The old man paid no attention to Liam and instead walked straight to the other side of the platform. Once there, he took a deep breath, filtering out any external disturbances, and assumed a starting position.

"Tai Chi?"

Liam was taken aback as soon as the old man took his stance. He clearly recognized the form. Liam had not expected the old man to also come to the mountaintop to practice martial arts.

It was typical for elderly people to practice martial arts

    The true Tai Chi used for combat had immense killing power.However, for certain reasons, it gradually faded from people's views. Tai Chi gradually became synonymous with self-cultivation.The old man did not expect the young man before him to recognize his fist technique. "I didn't expect you to have some insight, kid."However, the old man was annoyed after remembering Liam's words. "Don't think that just because you recognize this set of Lesser Nine Skies Tai Chi Fist, you can dictate terms in front of me. If you think you can cozy up to me this way, you've got the wrong idea!"Liam frowned. He did not understand the old man's words, but out of concern, he still spoke up. "Cozy up? Sir, the problem is that you're not doing this form correctly—"However, before he could finish speaking, the old man interrupted him."Ridiculous! I began my martial arts training at fifteen, and by seventeen, I had mastered the Lesser Nine Skies Tai Chi Fist. With this very technique, I killed nea

    The art of Lesser Nine Skies Tai Chi Fist was renowned as the foremost martial technique in Tai Chi for combat. Few knew of its existence, and even fewer had truly mastered it.For the old man, martial arts became his pursuit at the tender age of fifteen, and by seventeen, he had attained proficiency in the Lesser Nine Skies Tai Chi Fist. That very art carved his path to fame and established his existing stature.Six decades of dedication etched the essence of Lesser Nine Skies Tai Chi Fist into the old man's very being.However, he never imagined that a young man would dare to boldly claim that his practice was not genuine Lesser Nine Skies Tai Chi Fist.It was ludicrous.Whether his audacity was an attempt to ingratiate himself or employ some other strategy, the old man found his actions intolerable."Someone get this man out..."The old man turned his head angrily to the other side as if he wanted to say something, but Liam calmly spoke up again."The lineage of the Lesser N

    Upon hearing that, the elder's face flashed with disdain as he replied furiously, "Teach me? Your tricks are getting more sophisticated! It seems I was too lenient with people like you who come to challenge me. Each one more outrageous than the last, daring to tamper with my martial arts!"Liam, unperturbed by the elder's fury, spoke calmly. "I will only demonstrate once. For the third sequence, 'Embracing the Sparrow's Tail', adjust your hand three inches to the side, using the waist as the pivot...""Such pretense."The elder scoffed, folding his hands behind his back. His cold gaze locked onto Liam, showing no intention of following the instructions.However, Liam paid the old man no mind. As he had said, he would only teach him once. Whether the elder listened or not was his own choice."For the nineteenth sequence, 'High Pat on Horse', reverse wrap with your left hand, bringing it to your chest. Wrap forward with your right hand, closing in front of your abdomen and merging t

    "Quake!"At the serene peak of the Hush Purple Gardens, Liam's calm voice echoed, striking like a decree set in stone.The old man's body quivered uncontrollably the moment he heard Liam. As if sensing something, his left elbow lifted and trembled slightly in the next moment.That subtle change unleashed a tremendous force, surging from the base of his spine like a tidal wave, completely overshadowing the elder's initial sense of weakness. In that moment, his body seemed to transform into a unified entity without a hint of stiffness or hesitation.The elder shifted sideways, his left elbow flashing like lightning again, striking directly at a nearby jujube tree.Crack!A crisp sound reverberated as the jujube tree swayed, leaves fluttering down, and a crack appeared on the trunk the size of a bowl.The elder's elbow had cracked the trunk!The old man's mind reeled as he heard the sound. Suddenly, he was wide awake. His gaze trembled as he looked at the jujube tree in front of

    Howser frowned, glancing at Preston. "You're concerned about my safety? What trouble do you think I could cause? Why did you bring so many people just to surround my young friend? What exactly do you intend to do?"It was not Preston's arrival with a group of people that irritated Howser. What truly irked him was that Preston, upon arrival, indiscriminately surrounded Liam without any clarification. It made him, already burdened with guilt, feel even more embarrassed.Preston hastily tried to smooth things over, smiling apologetically. "Isn't it because quite a few people have been coming to you for favors lately?" Preston waved his hand, prompting over a dozen black-clad men behind him to step back once again.Howser snorted coldly, no longer paying attention to Preston. He looked at Liam instead, his face once again showing a hint of apology."Young friend, I sincerely apologize for involving you again.""It's fine."Liam played with a leaf in his hand, shaking his head light

    "Young friend..."Mister Ulrick paused momentarily, then revealed a wry smile again.After that, he faced Liam, clasped his hands in respect, and bowed deeply with utmost seriousness. "I, Howser Ulrick, am profoundly grateful for the instruction you have imparted to me!"Howser understood better than anyone the immense importance of lineage in martial arts, especially considering that the technique Liam shared was the nearly lost art of the Lesser Nine Skies Tai Chi Fist. As Liam had mentioned, Lesser Nine Skies Tai Chi Fist was traditionally passed down through a single lineage.However, just moments ago, Liam had effortlessly taught him the true form of the Lesser Nine Skies Tai Chi Fist.Had it been a mere transaction, Howser might not have been so serious. After all, exchanging the genuine Lesser Nine Skies Tai Chi Fist for his assistance would have been perfectly normal. It would simply be a matter of what he needed to offer in return.However, it was not about any compensat

    Upon hearing Howser's words, Liam squinted slightly. "Really? Is there such a saying among martial artists?"Old Master Dante had taught him many things in prison. However, he was completely unaware of the customs that Howser just mentioned.Howser nodded, looking at Liam in confusion. "Of course there is! Young friend, you can clearly discern the flaws in my Lesser Nine Skies Tai Chi Fist, but you're unaware of these things?""Indeed, I'm not very familiar with them," Liam replied calmly.Though somewhat perplexed, Howser began to explain to Liam patiently."Let me explain it to you, then. As I mentioned earlier, external training involves strengthening muscles, bones, and skin, while internal training involves cultivating a breath of energy. Through refining their bodies, martial artists can reach a certain level where they generate inner energy!"This is called internal power. Internal power is not a myth created by charlatans. It truly exists. And once one has cultivated inte

    With a respectful nod, Howser said, "I understand! I'll arrange a check-up when I get back." Despite not feeling any bodily issues, he could not ignore Liam's words. After all, he knew all too well what Liam's insight meant."Thank you for your concern, young friend! Here's my contact information." With that, he retrieved a delicate card from his oriental suit pocket and handed it to Liam with solemnity. "If you have any questions, feel free to call the number on this card to reach me anytime."Liam accepted the card without a word, inspecting it briefly. The card was intricately designed and exuded elegance. There was no additional information besides Howser's name and contact information written in gold.At that moment, Preston leaned in and whispered, "Mister Ulrick, the young miss is returning home today, and you said you'd be back after sparring. Time is running short..."Preston had not intended to interrupt Howser's conversation with Liam. After all, it had been long sin

    "Are you talking about Hailey?"Upon hearing this, Liam finally understood what Fahad meant.However, in the next moment, he narrowed his eyes, and a cold gleam flashed in his gaze. "Is this how South City Bank teaches you to speak?""Heh..."Hearing Liam's words, Fahad froze for a moment, then a look of disdainful mockery appeared on his face. "What has South City Bank taught me? Who are you to point fingers? You're just here to handle a business, what are you even worth!""I'll tell you this: if you don't obediently go take a number, don't blame me for having security throw you out..."He lifted his chin and arrogantly spoke.However, before Fahad could finish his sentence...Slap!Liam raised his hand, and a slap landed hard on Fahad's face.It was a brutal slap!Fahad was instantly stunned!His face began to swell, with a red, five-finger mark clearly visible."I'll teach you the first lesson.

    "After causing so much trouble for the Lloyd family all this time, now he dares to curse that we'll lose money from the financial products we bought!"Looking at Liam's back, Hailey's eyes flashed with more disgust as she spat and said, "I must have been blind before to choose such a useless piece of trash as my son-in-law. He's good for nothing!""I never expected Liam to turn out like this."Ronald looked at Liam with a trace of mockery in his eyes. "He doesn't even know his own worth. Doesn't he look at himself? He dares to threaten us like this!""Dad! Mom! I think we shouldn't care too much about Liam right now. After all, he's just an outsider!"At that moment, Etchen's voice rang out. He looked grim, and coldly said, "What we need to do now is go back and ask Serena how she dared to tell all our business to that useless Liam!""Exactly!" Upon hearing this, Hailey's face grew cold. "I'm going back to ask Serena whether she even considers me her mother! How dare she tell tha

    They never expected that Liam would be the one to reveal the true reason they came to South City Bank this time!"Could it be that Liam really has some connection with South City Bank?"Ronald's face immediately turned serious. Because if it were not for this reason, how could Liam possibly know such a secret matter?"That traitor, Serena!"However, the next moment, before Ronald could speak, Hailey's angry voice, clenched through gritted teeth, rang out."When we left today, she specifically told us not to tell anyone, but in the end, she turned around and told all of it to Liam, that good-for-nothing!"If we hadn't come to South City Bank today, we would have never known that Serena is still in contact with that good-for-nothing!"Her chubby face was full of intense fury!"Serena..."Hearing this, Ronald's body suddenly stiffened.He also realized. It was extremely unlikely that Liam had any connection with South City Bank!Compared to that possibility, the idea that every

    "All these years, what exactly have you done to help our Lloyd Group?"Hailey looked at Liam with disdain and mocked, "People like you, aside from dragging down Lloyd Group, what else have you done?""After breaking up with Serena, you latched onto that young lady from the Hill family, even relying on her to send you living expenses. You come to the bank to withdraw money, what else could you possibly be doing?"She sneered, her eyes filled with contempt for Liam."Who told you I came to South City Bank to withdraw money that Lucy gave me?"Hearing Hailey's words, Liam frowned tightly."After you got out of prison, you didn't even have a job. If it weren't for relying on women to support you, you'd probably have starved by now!"Before Hailey could respond, Etchen's voice sounded, mocking as he looked at Liam, "You came to South City Bank, not to take the living expenses from that young lady of the Hill family. What else could you be doing?""Heh..." Liam laughed in anger, shaki

    However, Liam was not interested in dealing with the three members of the Lloyd family, but Hailey and the others clearly had different ideas."Well, well, look who it is!"Etchen, stepped directly in front of Liam, speaking with a mocking tone. "Isn't this the famous Liam? Why aren't you hanging out with that rich girl from the Hill family? What brings you to South City Bank all by yourself?""Oh! Don't tell me—did she send you your living allowance this month, and now you're here to withdraw it?"His face was full of scorn as he continued, "I have to hand it to you. Wherever you go, you seem to latch onto a wealthy woman. I could never pull that off!"Lately, because of matters related to Serena, Etchen had been bottling up his anger.Now, seeing Liam, all he wanted was to vent his frustration.After all, Serena used to defend Liam at every turn. Venting his rage on Liam felt like a twisted form of revenge against her.Not to mention, Liam had indeed caused the Lloyd Group a

    Not long after, three people walked out of the South City Bank headquarters, beaming with joy."Mom, didn't I tell you it wouldn't be a problem?"Leading the way, Etchen beamed with pride. "Once we decided to invest in their multi-year financial products, they had no choice but to increase our returns accordingly. We're VIP clients, after all!""Look at this—keeping the funds in the South City Bank yields better returns than leaving it in the Etchen Group. I just don't understand where Serena gets the nerve to act so arrogant in front of us!"Mentioning Serena brought a flash of irritation across Etchen's face."Exactly!"Standing beside him, Hailey could not help but grin from ear to ear. "Who would've thought withdrawing the money this time would turn out to be such a blessing in disguise!""Sigh…"Only Ronald let out a faint sigh after hearing what Hailey and Etchen said.Although the returns were indeed impressive, Ronald still felt something wasn't quite right about the w

    There were still plenty of matters to handle.No time to waste arguing with Etchen!"Hmph!"Watching Serena leave, Etchen snorted disdainfully."Look at that! Serena's really becoming more and more unruly!"Even after Serena left, Hailey's anger had not subsided. Turning to Ronald, she snapped, "She's getting too bold! Just over this tiny issue, she dares to scold us now!"She firmly believed all of this was Serena's fault."Though, to be fair, this time, we did mishandle things a little," Ronald admitted, his face clouded with a tinge of complexity. He spoke in a low voice, "After all, the way we acted back then, we really didn't consider other factors…"He had a relatively clear understanding of the situation."Who had time to think about all that back then?" Hailey glared at Ronald angrily. "If we really followed your cautious approach and hadn't withdrawn the money, who knows who'd have their hands on it now?""Sigh…"Ronald did not respond, only letting out a soft sigh.

    "Besides, after we saw that Lloyd Group weathered the crisis, we were already planning to move the money back to the reserve fund."Hailey raised her head in displeasure, pursed her lips, and said, "We were just delayed by a few days because of some issues, and look at your attitude now! Is this how you talk to your parents?""Mom! Regardless of whether you plan to transfer the money back to the reserve fund, it was wrong of you to take it out during Lloyd Group's crisis in the first place!"Serena insisted on her point."Wrong? What's wrong about it?"Hearing this, Hailey glared fiercely, raising her voice. "This money belongs to the three of us. We can put it wherever we want! Now you're trying to control where our money goes, just like you're trying to control everything at Lloyd Group!""I've never seen a daughter like you!"Anger contorted Hailey's chubby face. "Every day, it's just you picking fights with me and your dad. Is this how you repay us?""Mom… that's not what I

    All of this filled Serena's heart with overwhelming rage!She never expected that Hailey and the others would act so selfishly!"Serena... we…"Hearing Serena's words, Ronald froze, a trace of embarrassment flashing across his face.He never thought that what they had done in secret would be discovered by Serena!Ronald shot a dissatisfied look at Hailey.He had urged Hailey countless times to return the money quickly, but Hailey, due to various reasons, kept delaying.It was not just Ronald.Hailey and Etchen also showed a hint of unease on their faces after hearing Serena's words."What were you all thinking?"Seeing their reactions, Serena's anger flared up even more. Her almond-shaped eyes widened as she spoke."We were just worried that if Lloyd Group went bankrupt, at least we'd have some money left in hand," Hailey muttered softly.Recently, Serena's influence within Lloyd Group had been on the rise.And this matter, to begin with, was indeed Hailey and the others'
