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
“Someone asked me to tell you that you’re not supposed to be here!“There are some people you can’t afford to go against, you country bumpkin!“Once you do, you’ll pay a hefty price!“The people around you were hurt this time, but it might not be the case next time!”The bald driver continued showing a playful look on his face.Harvey York’s gaze was as cold as ice.“You’re right. There are some people that you really can’t afford to go against.”The bald driver showed a cold smirk.“Are you still talking big at this point, Sir York?“This is all just the beginning!“You’re the one my boss is targeting!“You better be careful when you go out next time! Don’t bump into people like me next time!“Right! Your wife is at the Hearthstone Corporation, and your sister-in-law’s in the hospital, right?“Then, you better make sure that they’re safe!”The bald driver showed a wretched look on his face.“Who the Hell is behind all this?!” exclaimed Harvey.“Make a guess! Aren’t you
On the next day, early in the morning, the truck in front of the Martial Hall was finally towed away.Dillon Lee found a few renovation companies to immediately clean up the mess, hoping the Martial Hall would be up for business again.Harvey York had been standing sleepless inside the Martial Hall for an entire day.He did not like killing, but he knew full well that he could not hold back any longer when someone kept pushing his limits.If this continued, Mandy Zimmer and Xynthia Zimmer would probably be the ones in trouble, maybe even Yvonne Xavier, Kait Walker, Queenie York, or the others around him…“I heard that you got into an accident last night, Brother-In-Law! Are you alright?”Xynthia got word from somewhere as soon as she got out of the hospital. She immediately came to the Martial Hall afterward.She did not ask how Harvey acquired the Martial Hall nor about anything else besides for his own safety.“Don’t worry. I’m fine.“I’ll get you and your sister to stay her
“Next semester?The young man crossed his arms while walking inside the Martial Hall before he looked around the place.“Were you the one who got the bald driver killed?“Did you do that just to force me out?“I’m here now. What are you going to do? Take your revenge?“Or are you here to beg for mercy?”The young man kept looking around him in disdain…But his eyes lit up as soon as he saw Xynthia Zimmer, as if he was wide awake.“You’re finally here…Harvey York calmly raised his head to look at the young man.“So, you’re the person behind Wilbur Lee, Boden Osborne, and the bald driver, aren’t you?“I have a lot of enemies here in Flutwell. I know young masters from the Bauer family, the John family, and the mighty Indians trying to kill me…“I know all these people, yet I don’t know you.“Judging from that, you must be the legendary Clyde Osborne, Prince Osborne himself. Am I right?”Harvey had never met Clyde before, but he knew someone would show up after what happene
"Of course, you can. You're the leader of the Judd family!" Veronica said to Veer in a sarcastic tone. "However, to think that you've mistreated our mother… Aren't you supposed to resign already?"Veer coldly replied, "Don't worry. Even if I do resign, you won't be the next leader. So you can stop dreaming about it already."The corner of Veronica's lips twitched. She had wanted to say something else when an old man with white hair came out from the inner chamber at that moment. With a cold voice, he rebuked them, "Enough! Your mother is still unconscious in bed right now, but all of you argue amongst yourselves here. Where are your manners?"I have not been managing things for many years, but do I no longer have any influence within the family?"Veer narrowed his eyes a little when he saw the old man. Then, he stepped forward and bowed his head. "I understand, father."After seeing Veer's attitude, he turned his attention to Veronica and the others. "It's the same for all of you.
"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
