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
“Sit down here! I’ll use my force to help you break through!”Layne Naiswell got someone to bring out a futon and gestured to Aldo John to sit on it.She then took a deep breath before slapping his forehead.Then, she slapped his temple before slapping the middle of his chest and other spots…Finally, she slapped Aldo’s pelvic region before she completely lost all color on her face. She instantly became frail.Aldo, on the other hand, was rejuvenated. His face was as red as a tomato.Layne fell on her chair before she started gasping for air.Aldo could not help but laugh after feeling the energy flowing inside him.“Hahaha!”Everyone was filled with shock when they saw Aldo.They were completely surprised by the sight. After all, the people in Flutwell had some understanding of martial arts.“How is this possible?! Aldo seemed so weak before, but now he looks like a true expert!”“This is insane!”“Instructor Naiswell actually helped him achieve his breakthrough!”“Maybe
Layne Naiswell forced herself to stand so she could recheck Aldo John’s pulse. Her expression frantically changed the next second.“His energy’s going out of control. He’s about to be crippled…“Hurry! Get this man to the Golden Palace!“Ask the lord to help!“Nobody else can save him now!Then, she glanced at Wilbur Lee.“We’ll all be in trouble if someone from the John family dies!”Naturally, Layne knew that it would be hard for her to bear the consequences even if she was a disciple of the Golden Palace.That said, she had no strength left to help since she was completely drained.The other instructors quickly came over to help, but none of them were able to help with Aldo’s energy going berserk.“Is he going to die?”Wilbur shuddered. He knew he would have to pay a heavy price if Aldo died here.After all, his life was a thousand times inferior compared to Aldo’s!Wilbur bellowed at the people behind him, “Hurry!“Get the car!“Send him to the Golden Palace immediat
“Just doing my job.“Though, I didn’t save you for free. I’ll need a hundred and fifty thousand dollars from you.”Aldo John froze before he stumbled off the ground. Then, he took out a checkbook from his pocket and handed Harvey York a check he just wrote.At the same time, a business card was attached to the check to show his gratitude.Harvey took the card and the check before walking out.“He’s an expert!”“He’s a true expert!”Everyone came to their senses before they started cheering.Harvey did not have a demeanor of a true master since he took the money, but at least he saved someone.Dillon Lee and Kayden Balmer were completely shocked as well.‘Sir York is insane!’They knew that Harvey’s actions would instantly suppress Layne and the others!At this moment, everyone could clearly tell who the true master was.“What happened?!“Why did Young Master John go berserk like that?!Layne could not help but speak up after seeing Harvey walk away.“I already helped hi
The crowd was completely dumbstruck after hearing about the fees.Everyone went dead silent after they were yelling at Wilbur Lee earlier.Many people would be unable to accumulate this much money even after working for an entire year!Some even had the faintest idea of just how many zeroes were in those numbers!Even if Harvey York’s performance were extraordinary, they would not want to spend that much money to be enrolled anyway.Wilbur thought he was totally done for before he heard the enrollment fees were so high.“At the end of the day, your Martial Hall is no better than the People’s Budokan! This place is basically free at this point!” exclaimed Wilbur before coldly chuckling.“At this point, that’s just daylight robbery!“You think you can mark up your price just because you saved Young Master John?!“The Martial Hall’s fees were expensive before, but they weren’t that expensive!“You’re price gouging here!“You’re shameless!”The people with no money to be enroll
While the crowd was screaming in anger, Wilbur Lee and the others had no choice but to run off after burning tens of thousands of dollars.The People’s Budokan was immediately closed after it had just opened. They came as quickly as they left.Harvey York gave Kayden Balmer a look before he walked off. He could no longer be bothered to deal with a small fry like Wilbur.After all, it was much more suitable for someone like Kayden to handle the situation.After saving Aldo John and raising the enrollment fees for the Martial Hall, people started to look at Harvey in a new light.Layne Naiswell and the other instructors showed up when the crowd left soon after.They felt a little awkward. They did not know what to feel at that moment.Before Harvey could even say anything, Layne, whose face had completely lost color then, immediately took a step forward with the other instructors before bowing in unison.“Sir York, we’re here to apply for the Martial Hall.“To show our sincerity
“Oh!Harvey York nodded.“How impressive.“That said, you people are at the wrong place, aren’t you?”“Enough playing around!The middle-aged man showed an austere look while placing his hand on his longsword.“According to the laws of the Martial Arts Alliance, every single Budokan must be regulated by us!“This is to prevent people from scamming others in the name of martial arts, causing the citizens to misunderstand the entire thing!“We received reports last night that the Martial Hall was involved with fraud, using underhanded tactics to deceive people’s money!“The Martial Arts Alliance will thoroughly investigate the situation!“We have permission to act before reporting to the higher-ups, so you better not try to stop us!“We’ll even use force if we have to!”The middle-aged man’s words were calm and steady, but there was a sense of arrogance and pride while he talked about the Martial Arts Alliance.It was as if he was announcing his authority to everyone around
“Right! Why would he talk to us about the philosophies of martial arts if he only wanted to get rich?!”“How could he possibly be a con artist if he’s treating his students this way?!”After pondering the situation for a while, those people had immense trust and acknowledgment toward Harvey York.“You people are idiots! How could he fool you if he didn’t have someone good enough to convince you?!“Layne Naiswell and the others were just working for him last night before they fought!“Are you telling me that it wasn’t just an act?!The students who spoke up were instantly silenced. They did not know what to reply at this point.After seeing the students’ beliefs being swayed, Boden Osborne chuckled disdainfully.“I know you people don’t believe that Harvey’s only good at putting on a facade!“That’s why, to prove that he’s just a conman, I invited a few deacons from the Martial Arts Alliance here!“These people are experts! You’ll know that Harvey’s just a conman soon enough!
