The chain Budokans were Joseph Bauer’s biggest trump card.According to his calculations, he would be swimming in money yearly as long as the Budokans were still open.This was why he was able to remain calm after suffering such a significant loss in Flutwell’s new district.As long as the people of Flutwell were still around and everyone was still passionate about martial arts, the chain Budokans would still remain.Joseph would still be able to remain at his peak.Simply put, the business would be up for the rest of his life.But he did not expect that every single chain Budokan was in trouble at that moment. How did all the students pass out inside?Joseph knew full well that his fees were not cheap.The people who came to train in the Budokans were no ordinary people. All the people came from middle-class families, at least.Those people were not a threat alone, but it would be extremely terrifying if thousands banded together.Not just him, even the entire Bauer family w
That said, Joseph Bauer estimated that it would take at least a few decades before something like this would happen.When that happens, students foaming and crippling would absolutely have nothing to do with him.He would already have the money anyway.But if something terrible like this were to happen ahead of time, there would be dire consequences…His reputation would not be the only thing to worry about!If the government and the Martial Arts Alliance were to get involved and dig up the secrets of the teaching manual, he would be finished!Without a second thought, the calm and collected Joseph trembled before showing a gloomy look on his face.“Call the police for me.“No. That’s useless. Call Elder Lee through his dedicated phone…”Joseph wanted to handle the situation as soon as possible, but he was still too late.Every big media had already buzzed about the incident.The chain Budokans were in big trouble! All the students of the current semester were unconscious! T
After lightly blowing on the tea, Harvey York calmly said, “According to my information…“Both the incidents with people smashing up my place and the car accident…“Even Clyde Osborne’s appearance seemed to be tied to Joseph Bauer.“Your family’s young master has been playing underhanded tricks like these since he was at a disadvantage. What a boring man.“But since he wants to play dirty, I’m also willing to play along.Harvey chuckled.“Speaking of, how did Young Master Bauer know that Joseph’s chain Budokans have problems with their teaching manuals?“He even knows that the students will turn out that way without sufficient protein intake.“All I did was change out their homemade breakfast. I didn’t think we’d be able to do this much damage…”“Before Joseph rose to power, he was Young Master Bauer’s subordinate,” replied Elanor Stanton coldly.“Young Master Bauer knows him like the back of his palm.“He only didn’t touch him before because he wants to see how he’d fare ag
Harvey smiled.“This has nothing to do with me.”“However, I don’t kill innocents.”“Not just that, I’m also planning to fix these people up so they can train again and not turn into cripples after a decade or two.”“It’s easy to kill, but it’s difficult to save.”“That said, I choose to do exactly that!”“This is why we’re different.”…While the chain Budokans’ incident was escalating…The students who graduated from them fell into a coma as well, as they couldn’t buy the supplements that Flutwell’s business alliance supplied.These people were all sent to the hospital. None of them were able to wake up even after a long time had passed.Everyone in the city was already showing their doubts. This situation gave the Flutwell’s business alliance incredible stress.The solution wasn’t as simple as halting their businesses. The police and the Martial Arts Alliance were now investigating every instructor and worker from the related Budokans.Too many people were already invol
Soon, students and their families flooded the Martial Hall like a huge tide.Harvey had already prepared for the situation. He was determined to charge the students for fourteen thousand dollars; he didn’t want to pretend to be nice. If the families didn’t have money, he would tell them to ask Flutwell’s business alliance for it.At the same time, he taught Layne and the other instructors the tricks he used to save the students of the chain Budokans.Under his lead, the students were completely back to normal after coughing out blood.Some of the media didn’t believe that there was someone who had the power to cure the students. And so, they dragged the students to inspect their bodies, and ended up shocked.The students who seemed like they were dead for sure had ordinary body readings. The reporters were absolutely baffled.Soon, Martial Hall and Harvey’s name echoed throughout Flutwell.After a series of events, many people realized that the Martial Hall was probably the best
“Didn’t I tell those b*stards already?!”“The students’ meals have nutritional supplements inside! They need to take the supplements we sell after graduation as well!”“We’ll be able to earn money endlessly that way! They’ll be safe and sound as well!”“Why did this happen?!”Joseph’s eyes were cold; his teaching manual and supplements go hand in hand.Other than making the students stronger, he could also reap their money…Why did something like this have to happen to his near-flawless plan?“Did something happen to our supplements? No! Impossible!”“This is our lifeline! Our assembly line’s extremely strict! We wouldn’t make anything shady in the first place!”“That b*stard Harvey even picked the perfect time to save the students! There’s no way they’ll train with us ever again…”“This was clearly an attack!”Ruby frowned.“This all happened because the students passed out…”“But there’s no way the breakfast would be the problem.”“We added addictive drugs to the food a
“There’s something big going on, Young Master Bauer!”Right as Ruby was about to make a phone call, Ozzy rushed in with an excited look.“Look! Look at the news! Someone’s trying to kill Harvey!”Joseph froze. Then, he glanced at the TV.Ruby picked up the remote and changed the channel.Joseph’s face darkened immediately after.Hundreds of men with masks showed up.They were all carrying knives, metal pipes, and wooden sticks, and were fiercely chasing the students and their families away.They even said that they would burn the Martial Hall down!More importantly, they were all wearing clothes that belonged to Flutwell’s business alliance.They had arrogant looks on their faces as they announced that Joseph was their master, and that he was the true master of the Bauer family.Someone even kicked and smashed the things around whenever they could.The newly-renovated door was completely destroyed again.That said, not only were they not able to take down the Martial Hall,
“Sir York really knows how to torture someone’s heart…”The next day, after Joseph had exploded in anger because of the incident, Jeff was squinting at the TV on the wall while his arms were covered in bandages.The person attentively massaging his legs was none other than the fifth mistress, Elanor.She was wearing a traditional gown, but the curve of her body was showing slightly because of the thin silk around her chest and waist.A few doctors couldn’t help taking a few admiring glances, but they were quickly scared off by Jeff.“This was definitely Harvey’s doing.”Elanor flashed hima beautiful smile.“Because of our alliance with Harvey, Joseph and Flutwell’s business alliance are at the center of attention.”“With Joseph’s smarts, he knows he should be very discreet about things.”“He’d have a death wish if he’s still planning to go against Harvey.”“That said, those who were arrested confessed that they were from Flutwell’s business alliance after being interrogated!”
