“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!
Boden Osborne coldly chuckled after hearing those words before taking a step forward.“We have solid proof that you’re a conman, Harvey York!“What do you have to say for yourself?!”‘Bunch of idiots…’Harvey waved his hand to stop Dillon Lee from speaking before he glanced back at the elderly people.“You should have a closer look before jumping to conclusions about my teaching manual. At this point, you only read the first few pages of the manual.”“Stop trying to talk your way out of this!“Do you think we’re jumping to conclusions?!A deacon with the surname of Lee crossed his arms while speaking up.“I’ve been training for so many years now! I can tell how good or bad the sacred texts or teaching manuals are just by looking at them!“Your manual is nothing out of the ordinary! You can find this anywhere!“If you have one of those ordinary Budokans that focus on strengthening your body, I wouldn’t even comment about it…“But you take so much of people’s money, claiming
"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
