There was an elderly person sitting on a chair in the middle of the hall.His eyes were bulging out; he wasn’t breathing at all, nor was he moving a single inch. It was as if he was already dead.“Pay us what’s been owed, you b*stard! How do you not understand this?!”A hunk with a chiseled body was screaming viciously at Dillon.“My father loves martial arts, but my family didn’t allow him to train because of his old age!”“And then you people showed up!”“You were giving out flyers on the streets! My father got one of them!”“He came here to train after seeing that he can have three days here for free!”“What happened after that? He couldn’t even get a move down before dying!”“Is this a Budokan or a goddamn mortuary?!”“You’re killing people!”The other members of the family were completely infuriated after hearing the man’s words.“That’s right! Stop trying to lead your students astray if you can’t even teach them properly!”“You’ll pay for my grandfather’s life!”“En
“I didn’t let him enroll, since he looked pretty weak…”“But he insisted on coming, saying that he wants to get healthier.”“He grabbed a prop sword on his own before passing out.”“He stopped breathing after a short while.”“The family members showed up out of nowhere after that.”“They said we were the ones who killed him.”“I tried to explain the situation, but they just beat me up without even listening to me.”“If I wasn’t good at fighting, I would’ve been dead by now!”“I didn’t even fight back after so long.”Dillon briefly explained the situation to Harvey, sounding unspeakably helpless.As the top disciple of Flutwell’s Longmen branch, Dillon had always been the one showing off, doing whatever he pleased wherever he went.But not only was he taking the blame for something he didn’t do, he was also beaten up to the point where his face was completely swollen.While Dillon was explaining the situation, the hunk exclaimed loudly, “You killed my father!”“Everyone her
Harvey stood up after getting a closer look.“Your father’s still alive.”“Not only that, he’ll be full of energy once I’m done treating him. He’ll be back to normal in no time.”“What? He’s still alive?”“You can save him?! How’s that even possible?”“That’s bullsh*t! He’s already dead! Everyone saw him die! How can you possibly save him at this point?!”“Did that guy say he could save the man?”“Maybe he has the connections to save him! Help is probably on the way!”“He’s waiting for someone else to save the man!”The crowd was gossiping up a storm after seeing Harvey’s calm expression.‘This is a Budokan, not a hospital.’‘Does he think he can revive the dead? Who does he think he is?’The hunk and the others glared coldly at Harvey; they didn’t believe that Harvey could actually see through their tricks.“I’ve already called the cops, Sir York. You don’t have to…” Dillon said, his face awful. “Get me the axe. I’ll be treating this man with that.”Harvey immediately
“I got your father back up.”Harvey let go of his axe and stepped forward calmly. Then, he kicked the hunk to the ground.“Now, shouldn’t you be giving me an explanation about this whole situation?”“You’re pretty bold to use the Turtle Breath here. Quite impressive…”“The only problem is that this old man here is afraid of dying.”“If he’d just let me chop his head off, I would’ve been the dead one.”“What a shame…”The hunk glared furiously at the old man.“Who told you to wake up, you b*stard?!”The hunk had a gloomy look on his face.He had basically admitted that he was trying to blackmail Harvey.“Talk. Who sent you?” Harvey demanded coldly.The hunk gritted his teeth.“Nobody! This all happened to my father because you’re not good at teaching! You led your students astray!”“Stop spouting nonsense about Turtle Breath or whatever…”The hunk felt completely powerless when he tried to refute Harvey. After all, what had happened had already proven that he was here eit
Harvey’s face darkened in an instant.He didn’t think the enemy would prepare martyrs just to deal with him.This was just shameless!Dillon was shocked.“What do we do now, Sir York?!” he exclaimed, panicky.“What else? Call an ambulance!” Harvey replied, a horrible look on his face.There were a lot of people to testify about what happened in the Martial Hall, but Harvey would still get into a lot of trouble if so many died there.There were at least a dozen lives at stake, after all.Even if Harvey wasn’t responsible for the deaths, the reputation of the place would still be affected. If the government were to get involved in the situation, the Martial Hall would be shut down for good.Even if Harvey had a lot of connections, he still needed to be careful about public opinion.That was why Harvey decided that it would be best if he called an ambulance to get the people out of the place.He then gave Kayden a call so the latter could deal with the situation.It was best f
“Simply put, Holland Lee owes Wilbur Lee a favor!“Besides, Holland had been mooching off of Wilbur and owed him a lot of money.“Surely, he’ll have to pay the price if needed.“For example, a mass poisoning.”Harvey York put on a frown.“Are your sources trustworthy?“Are you sure that a small fry like Wilbur was the one who orchestrated such a big incident?“This looks like something Joseph Bauer or Clyde Osborne would do.”“That I can’t quite figure out.Kayden Balmer showed a helpless look.“You should know I met all kinds of people after fighting my way through Flutwell’s underworld…“But they aren’t people with immense authority either. All the information I can get is mostly kept under the table.“You’d need George Zabel to help you if you want more.”“He won’t be able to do much. If someone’s willing to use such a heinous trick against me, they’ll surely have safeguards against us,” replied Harvey.“Even if I ask George for help, he’d only be able to find out what
It was obvious Wilbur Lee managed to cling to someone more powerful.That was why he became a lot more arrogant when he spoke compared to before.“What a disgrace!“Our mighty Branch Leader Lee spent decades building the Martial Hall’s reputation!“And then you took down your own sign as soon as the place was handed to you!“What? People found out that you don’t know martial arts? Do you think you can change your luck after changing the sign?“How naive can you get?!”The people around Wilbur were laughing out loud, as if they were looking at a clown in front of them.“Wilbur, right? Was the lesson from last time not enough for you?Harvey York merely shrugged.“You want me to teach you a lesson you won’t forget?“How b*tchy can you get?Harvey disdainfully glared at Wilbur’s longsword before heaving a sigh.“I was wondering why you have no self-awareness at all…“You’re just a sellout, after all!“You just cling to whoever’s powerful enough to support you!“It doesn’t
Obviously, the experts were the previous instructors of the Martial Hall who came from sacred martial art training grounds.Those people were showing proud looks on their faces as they glared at Harvey York.Harvey squinted after seeing those people. He could tell that they were up to no good.At the same time, Harvey was sure that Wilbur Lee was just another pawn and that someone else was behind him.It was not that Harvey looked down on Wilbur. It would be out of the ordinary if someone with Wilbur’s status could get Layne Naiswell and the others to come here.Wilbur disdainfully looked at Harvey before jumping onto the hood of his car with a microphone in hand.“Everyone! You’re all familiar with Instructor Naiswell here! She was Martial Hall’s lead instructor!“The other nine instructors were also founders of the place!“Not only are they extremely knowledgeable and skilled, but they are also very considerate and passionate about martial arts!“They disagreed with the Mart
