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
Harvey York’s teaching manual was quite progressive and understandable, explaining the ways of regulating energy along with the fundamentals of Neijia.Even though no one would be invincible after going along with Harvey’s teaching methods, it would not be difficult for anyone to go against ten people after being taught this way.Boden Osborne and the others frowned instantly after reading the manual. He did not expect that Harvey would actually be this kind-hearted.Harvey glanced at Deacon Lee and the others.“I know that the people who come here to learn do trust me…“But, I also need to take responsibility for the students!“I don’t need their money. The fees are a prerequisite for them to join!“If they can’t spend this much money on the lessons, how will they bear the fees later?“Since I took the money, it’s only natural that I do my job!“As long as the students have the heart to learn step by step, they’ll be able to learn many things here.“I didn’t mention I’d teac
“Come! Close this place down!“Arrest Harvey York too!“We’ll deal with this criminal ourselves!”Boden Osborne waved his hand with a cold expression, as if he was enforcing the law…But all the men around him hesitated.They were all martial artists. They knew full well that Budokans like the Martial Hall were extremely rare.Judging from any perspective, the existence of the Martial Hall could make martial arts flourish.That was why the men could not convince themselves to put the blame on the Martial Hall and shut it down.More importantly, they could not bear to go against such a benevolent man like Harvey.“What? Are all of you deaf or something?!“Are you disobeying me?!Boden gritted his teeth before bellowing.“The Martial Hall’s involved in a scam! The owner is obviously the most suspicious one here! Shut this place down and arrest him already!“You b*stards! How dare you?!”Even before Harvey said anything, the students immediately swarmed the men from the Mart
“I know you’ve been looking for a suitable Budokan during recent years…“But this one’s just a scam!“You shouldn’t come here!“I’ll introduce you to a Budokan with genuine talent after I’m done dealing with this one.”Boden Osborne knew who Aldo John was exactly. Even though he was just a collateral relative, he would definitely be able to suppress Boden, considering his status within the John family.After all, the Golden Palace was backing the family.No matter how powerful the Martial Arts Alliance was, Boden was just a mere team captain. He was not even considered a deacon. Then, how could he even go against the John family or the Golden Palace?“Move!” Aldo exclaimed with a cold expression.“The John family has this place covered!”Boden’s expression immediately changed.“Young Master John, you can’t! This is…”Slap!Aldo could not be bothered to listen. He immediately sent Boden flying with a slap.“Clean up the place!” he exclaimed.His bodyguards started to move
A deafening scream could be heard from inside. Layne Naiswell quickly reacted to the situation while she was changing her clothes. She instantly hid in a corner, but she was still severely injured.Her face had completely lost all color. It was a miserable sight.If this were any other day, she would have evaded the truck with no trouble at all…But after expending most of her energy recovering Aldo John, she was no different than any other young woman. Obviously, she got hurt because of this.“Layne!”Harvey York froze before rushing out to open the truck door. Then, he pulled out a bald man who reeked of alcohol before throwing him against the wall.The man screamed in pain. A wretched look was showing on his face.While Dillon Lee and the others were still in a daze, Harvey gestured to them to move the truck out of the place.The other instructors hurriedly tried to dig Layne out of the rubble.Even though she managed to avoid the truck, she was still bleeding out of her or
