“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
“You’re right,” said Harvey York without giving a straight answer.“Your gimmick isn’t bad, but it’s just scare tactics at most.“You’re probably planning to take money in other ways, like clothing, meal, and tutor fees at this point.“Or maybe the ten-cent enrollment needs to be drawn as a prize?“Do you think we’re all idiots or something?”The excited people froze instantly after hearing Harvey’s words. They immediately stopped themselves in their tracks.‘He’s right!’‘If Wilbur Lee decides to play small tricks like this, everyone’ll be fooled into it!’‘Does he think we’re all idiots?!’“Don’t worry!Wilbur was boiling in anger after seeing his well-laid plan about to be foiled.“I’ll accept any amount of students to enroll here! Food and uniforms are also on the house!“We won’t play any tricks on our students after the ten-cent payment!“After all, we’re doing this for the people!”The people had riled up once again after hearing Wilbur’s words.In just a moment,
“Of course not.Harvey York cracked a smile.“I was worried that the Martial Hall would be completely empty…“But, I think the place is about to become famous when someone’s advertising for us that well.”Dillon Lee and Kayden Balmer froze.“What do you mean?“They’re the ones enrolling people for a dime.“They’re even giving out free food and robes!“They’re burning their money just to get rid of us!”“Since they want to spend this much money, we’ll just help them spend even more!“Come. You should upload a few clips to Durin. Advertise the clips well so the People’s Budokan gets known.“You send the clips to every major television and radio media. Call up the news platform as well.“Tell them that everyone can claim free robes and food here!“Tell them that the owner’s also a gracious man, and he’s able to sustain his business with just a dime per enrollment…“I do want to see how much money Wilbur can burn from his support!”A dime to enroll in the People’s Budokan wh
Kayden Balmer and the others felt extremely anxious, but they immediately calmed down after seeing the sight.They were all playfully looking at the instructors working.Kayden called a few of his friends from the underworld, telling them not to miss out on such an offer.He was also planning to pay for them.Harvey York occasionally grabbed the microphone as well.“Let’s go, Instructor Naiswell!“As expected from a disciple of a sacred martial arts training ground!“Way to keep your promise! Good job!”The crowd was getting exhilarated after hearing those words. Even the people who did not intend to learn martial arts wanted to take advantage of the situation.After all, this was such an excellent opportunity to learn something from the Golden Palace.Layne Naiswell and the others were getting extremely anxious when more and more people came by.Not just actually teaching; they were already exhausted when simply answering questions the students had.They were also starting
Not only was Wilbur Lee having a major crisis about the situation, but Layne Naiswell and the others were also getting terribly anxious.They knew their reputation would be ruined if they did not immediately rectify the situation.After all, in a place of martial arts like Flutwell, disappointing others after giving them hope would cause a disaster.Wilbur had no choice but to call for more takeouts while getting Layne and the others actually to teach something to calm everyone down.If not, everything they did that day would turn into one big joke.At this moment, a dozen people who looked like bodyguards showed up and pushed the crowd aside.A pallid young man with luxurious items covering his entire body walked over. The man would occasionally cough when he came.“Instructor Naiswell, my name is Aldo John. I visited the Martial Hall a few times while you were the lead instructor. I wanted you to teach me.“I know that you were born from the Golden Palace! You are truly a top
Layne Naiswell frowned. She knew she had no choice but to stay for the time being.She took a deep breath and calmed herself down before she looked around her.“Young Master John’s situation is quite peculiar, everyone. I might use all my energy just to treat him. We’ll have to end it here today!“I hope that all of you can understand!”There were people about to cause an uproar before Aldo John waved his hand. His bodyguards then revealed a briefcase filled with cash.“Please, everyone!”Between the towering bodyguards and the money, everyone knew exactly how to choose.Layne showed an odd look before making a gesture to invite Aldo inside.Aldo sat down in front of Layne before she put her tender fingers on his wrist. Her frown was quite apparent at this moment.After a long while, she heaved a long sigh.“Your body’s naturally weak, but you forced yourself to learn the Rising Heat Fist, causing your body to lose energy and blood for long periods of time…“That’s why you’v
"It's your choice whether to believe it or not," said Harvey casually."Oh, come on," laughed Veer. "Since we've invited you all the way here, of course we believe you. Let's see… Please come this way."Then, Veer gestured and led him deeper into the estate. Harvey did not refuse and narrowed his eyes as he looked into the sky. He could already see a dark cloud gathering on top of the estate.In another courtyard, there was a huge lawn where a helicopter had landed. It was enough to show just how much wealth the Judd family had. But when Veer saw the helicopter, he was slightly surprised and asked, "Why is he back home?""He?" Harvey was quite curious. Veer was the leader of the Judd family. Could it be that someone else scared him within the family?When Veer saw Harvey's expression, he explained, "You probably didn't know this, but despite being the leader of the Judds of Wolsing, my father still has authority over me. However, he has been training in isolation all these years i
After a brief hesitation, Veer slowly spoke to Harvey. "Well… Let's start after you helped us deal with the problem haunting my mother. After that, all the seniors of the Judd family believed that there were some issues with the geomancy of this place. So, we were thinking of finding a new place to call home."However, the Judds are a big family. We have to make arrangements for many things. If we simply moved to another place, some might think that the Judd family is starting to fall. That's why we had to give up on moving, which meant the only other option left for us was to adjust the geomancy of this place."If you had asked me then, I would have asked you to help us with this since we shouldn't ask two persons to deal with the same problem. However, many elders rejected my proposal, saying you're too young and inexperienced."Ultimately, we asked Wolsing's top geomancer, Master Eridan, who has long stopped seeing any guests, to help us. Initially, everything went well. But afte
Veer cleared his throat and said, "Firstly, allow me to apologize on behalf of my nephew. He already informed me about Nelly and is now kneeling inside our estate's chapel. As he said, he will repent for three days and nights. Since he can't leave at the moment, he asked me to send you his apologies. "Other than apologizing for my nephew, please allow me to apologize to you on behalf of the Judds of Wolsing. The reason for all of this is because we aren't strict enough with our education and discipline. I swear in my family's name that things like this won't ever happen again in the future. We will also take full responsibility for cleaning up all the despicable acts that happen in the entertainment industry within Judd Entertainment."Veer was unsure how to feel when he said something like that. How could he not know that the sons of the Judd family had other women outside? But the problem was, it was fine for them to keep other women. But why did they allow those women to provoke
Harvey squinted his eyes and whispered to Marlee, "I don't know who your family has invited to change the geographical features of your estate, but the worst thing he did was to move away the two statues at the gate."If I'm right, your grandmother's condition has already stabilized initially. After changing the geological features, she should be pretty energetic as well. However, she is starting to feel a little numb after the two statues have been moved. "In the beginning, all of you thought it was just because she was getting older. You also started to feel something was wrong during these few days, right?"Marlee was a little shocked. "Why does it feel like you've witnessed the entire thing?"Then, Harvey explained, "Everything leaves a trace, and it's the same for geomancy. Don't tell me you think I won't be able to see something has changed when you move the two statues that protect the fortune of your entire family?"If you ask me, the geomancer you've hired is either not
Nelly fell on her knees without delay and started to slap herself dozens of times. Finally, she muttered an apology to Xynthia before turning tail and fled.It was obvious that after what had happened, she was no longer the queen bee of the advertising department. What Sawyer had said also meant that she would become a non-person in the entertainment industry. Someone like her would not have a good ending.However, Harvey was unaffected despite knowing how Nelly's life would end. Instead, he thought she deserved it. It was already quite lenient for her to end up like this for a woman who did not know her place and wanted to bully her juniors.-After it was all done, Marlee invited Harvey to a three-story office building that was only a couple hundred feet away.Xynthia and Journi followed them there. The two were similarly quite surprised when they saw Marlee's change of attitude toward Harvey.Marlee did not know who Xynthia was, but she was acquainted with Journi. They just di
"Tell him to give me his name!" Sawyer said. "I don't care if he is in Wolsing or anywhere in Country H. I'll make sure he regrets ever coming to this world!"Sawyer sounded extremely domineering, and his tone was very arrogant. It was as if the entire world was his to destroy whenever he wanted to. Not to mention, one could hear from his tone that he did not care about Marlee at all.Marlee's expression darkened, and she wanted to speak.However, Harvey waved his hand and said, "Sawyer Judd, is it? Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Harvey York. If you still don't know who I am, you can ask your leader or your grandmother. You can speak to me once you know who I am."Also, your woman has harassed my younger sister and that upsets me a lot. You better be able to give me an explanation. It would be best if you could give me one. If you can't, I'll give you one instead."Harvey calmly replied, but his words were even more domineering than Sawyer's from the other side.What the hell?
"Mr. York, why did you suddenly visit Judd Entertainment? Do you have any order for me?" asked Marlee Harvey in a serious tone."Not exactly," Harvey pointed at Xynthia with his right hand. "That's my younger sister over there, but we're not biologically related. She's currently working at Judd Entertainment. But what happened? Your advertising department's superstar is forcing her to sleep with an old man, otherwise she'll ruin her career."I'm here to question you on behalf of my younger sister. Is this a company rule?"When Marlee heard what Harvey had to say, her eye twitched, and she quickly turned around and slapped Nelly, who was caught completely unprepared.Nelly cried out in pain as she held her face and landed on the ground, looking at Marlee in disbelief. "Don't you worry, Mr. York. I'll give you a satisfying explanation about this."Harvey calmly said, "This is not the first time we met each other, Marlee. So, I know this has nothing much to do with you. That's why
Harvey had ignored Nelly's taunts and continued with the countdown. "Three minutes."At this time, Journi approached them from the back. Journi gave Xynthia a strange look and then said to the woman from upper management, "Here's my advice. You should give Ms. Marlee a call right now. Otherwise… I don't think you'll be able to shoulder the consequences."Compared to Harvey, who was wearing something quite plain, the outfit Journi was wearing, while still minimalistic, was all from luxury brands and could only be bought through reservations.She was wearing the Lady Arpels Pont des Amoureux watch, worth hundreds of thousands.What Journi was wearing gave immense pressure to the woman and, after a moment of hesitation, she pulled out her phone and started to dial a number."Oh ho! So, you're a sugar baby!" Nelly said derisively as she instinctively grew hostile to Journi when she saw her. "A sugar baby saving a damsel in distress, becoming the white knight of another woman… How can
The woman who looked like upper management was stunned when she heard Harvey called out to her. "Do you want to see our boss?""My, what a show-off," Nelly scoffed at Harvey's pretentiousness. "Do you want to complain against me by speaking to our boss? Xynthia, where did you find this man? Why is he so stupid? Does he think he can settle this by complaining? Is something wrong with his brain?"Not to mention who does he think he is, thinking he can see our boss whenever he wants? If he can see her, I will fall on my knees and call him daddy!"The other female models all covered their mouths and chuckled. To their understanding, what Harvey did was so laughable and childish. Even the lady from upper management mockingly looked at Harvey and said, "Sir, our company headquarters aren't that far. It'll only take three to five minutes to get there."But, do you really think you can see our boss, Ms. Marlee? Not only is she one of the Judds of Wolsing's three daughters, but ordinary peo
