In a mountain valley shrouded by fog all year round, Longmen’s Three Inner Halls was located.A young girl in a white dress, looking like an innocent fairy, walked slowly out from the valley.She took every single step on top of trees and rocks. Even when she was standing on the edge of the mountain, it seemed like she was on flat ground.The winds of the mountain valley were fierce, but they only hastened her movements and didn’t bother her one bit.Right as she was reaching out to a blue lotus on the edge of the mountain, her phone started vibrating inside her little backpack.A tender voice could be heard when she picked up the call.“We have news from Longmen Headquarters.”“They need your help to reclaim Longmen’s reputation.”“You should go. Remember, don’t go easy on your opponents.”“The Indians are our enemies this time, not your brothers and sisters.”The young girl let out a voice of approval before frowning.She stood on a tree branch with the tip of her toe, and
At the same time, inside Martial Hall.Harvey spat his tea right on Fisher and another person in front of him.One of them was the vice branch leader of Flutwell’s Longmen branch.The other was the elder who decided to fight alongside him, Damian Steele, Elder Steele himself.“Elder Steele, Vice Branch Leader Benett.”“This is meaningless, don’t you think?”“I can deal with the Indians on my own! Why do I need three little brats to tag along?”The two elites came to commend Harvey for his courage, yet he didn’t hold back at all.Three sets of documents were set right in front of him.Harvey’s eyes twitched when he saw the little brats’ ages, along with other information.It would be easy for him to deal with the Indians. Al he needed to do was to slap the Indians out of commission…However, bringing the brats along would cause unnecessary trouble.Thus, Harvey decided to decline the request.More importantly, he had a lot of things to do; he really didn’t have time to baby
Harvey couldn’t reject Fisher and Damian at this point.He let out a sigh. “I appreciate your concern, but I really don’t have the time to babysit those three.”“Sigh! We’re not asking you to babysit them, Harvey.”Fisher smiled warmly at him. “Just treat them like the instructors you hired.”“You have Martial Hall under your belt right now. Surely you don’t have enough instructors to run your business.”“These three are top talents! With them around, your business will definitely grow!”Damian smiled.“That said, I’m afraid you’ll still have to take them with you.”“These children are excellent; they’re gifted people with amazing skills.”“That said, they’re too inexperienced. They’ll get into big trouble if they get tricked by the Indians.”“That’s why we need your help; just treat them as your backups. You don’t need to use them, but just make sure they’re with you at all times.”Damian let out a sigh.“It’s a shame we got the news too late. If we stopped the fights ea
Harvey took an hour or two of his sleep to read up on the three top talents’ information.After that, he couldn’t help but be impressed by them.Even he wanted to bring up a student or two with such talents.That said, this was still all up to chance; he was no longer the Head Coach of Sword Camp. The children weren’t his soldiers either.On the next day, early in the morning, Harvey was doing his morning exercise when Layne ran over with a horrified look.“What is it?”Harvey frowned.‘The students should be starting by now. Is someone trying to cause trouble now?’“Sir York, did Vice Branch Leader Benett talk about something of the three top talents recently?”Layne took out her phone before showing Harvey Martial Hall’s surveillance footage.Three people who seemed like they were under twenty years old could be seen on the screen.The girl had a fairy-like aura; one of the boys seemed quite shy, while the other one seemed extremely strong and tanned, resembling a small bl
After letting out a sigh, Harvey gave Rachel a call so she would send the three top talents to the backyard.Right as Rachel was about to do so, a Toyota Alphard zoomed right toward the entrance before stopping immediately.A dozen people in traditional clothing got out of the car soon after, smug and prideful.They instantly pushed the crowd aside and charged forward without caring about the security screaming at them.“Young masters!”A mean-spirited woman in her thirties completely ignored the crowd scolding her when she strode to the front; she pushed a young girl down while she was consulting Amber about martial arts knowledge.“I saw online that there are a few impressive young masters who came to Martial Hall!” the woman exclaimed.“I heard you’re insanely strong and talented…”“But more importantly, you don’t hold back on anything when you teach! You don’t even take any of their money!”“I’ve been looking for two live-in instructors to teach my three-year-old baby boy
“M’lady! M’lady!”The people behind the woman were panicking.A man who looked like the butler stepped forward and pinched the cranky rich woman’s upper lip.“Please don’t let anything happen to yourself, M’lady!”“Our entire family relies on you!”“You little b*tch! Don’t you know that M’lady respects you enough for you to teach her child?!”“How dare you decline her request!”“You’ll pay if anything happens to her!”The butler took a step forward and slapped Amber on her beautiful face.The slap was loud and crisp.Frightened by the sight of the woman coughing blood, Amber completely forgot that she was a martial artist; she couldn’t even react to the slap.She felt completely sluggish.In the past, people would usually ask her politely to do something…It was her first time meeting such an unreasonable person out in the open.Philip and Albus were the same; they were top talents with impressive strength.But at the end of the day, they had little to no experience.A
“Harvey York?”“You’re the owner of the Martial Hall?”The butler sized up Harvey before chuckling coldly.“You’re the legendary man who’s been fishing for fame, the so-called master who’d do anything for money?”“I heard about it already. You raised the fees to at least fourteen thousand dollars for anyone to enroll here!”“You even limited the number of people to be enrolled per semester!”“You’re just hoarding the spots yourself so they seem more expensive than they really are!”“You’re squeezing money out of people!”“As a master, not only are you not thinking of the people—not only are you not trying to spread your martial arts to the entire world…”“You’re even racking your brains just to earn a quick buck!”“You people are disgusting!”The butler spat on the ground.“Do you know who M’lady is?!”“She’s a relative of Young Master Bierstadt from the Golden Palace, the sacred martial arts training ground!”“If anything happens to M’lady, Young Master Bierstadt will ch
“I refuse,” Harvey said firmly.“What did you say?!”The woman instantly raised her tone after hearing those words.“What right do you have to refuse?!”“Let me tell you something! You have no choice but to pay up, no matter what! There are people who’ll come for you if you don’t!”The woman was boiling with anger after seeing Harvey disrespect her so blatantlyShe then pointed furiously at Amber, Philip, and Albus, all the while coughing up blood.“And you three!”“Just admit you’re weak already!”“You think you can just start teaching people because you know a little bit about martial arts?!”“In reality, You’re nothing!”“You’re teaching the students a bunch of useless things. You’re being so picky with them too!”“Who do you think you are?!”“If I were you, I’d slam my head on the ground and kill myself by now!”“I’ll report you to the Martial Arts Alliance when I’m out of here!”“This is a scam! I’ll make sure that your reputation plummets!”The three young talents
"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
