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
Vroom!Ten minutes later, sounds of engines could be heard from outside. A row of SUVs were parked at the entrance.A group of strong-looking men in golden robes hopped out of the cars.They were all carrying swords on their waists and bore fierce expressions. A rascally-looking young man walked out from the crowd.He was about five feet seven; he had a head of dyed blonde hair and the flushed complexion of a drunkard.He had a gloomy yet dignified expression.The mean woman and the people behind her immediately swarmed the young man with simpering expressions.“You’re finally here, Young Master Bierstadt!”“Those b*stards completely disrespected you! They didn’t even care about Golden Palace!”“You need to help us!”“How many times have I told you to mention my name when you get in trouble?”“Nobody in Flutwell dares to go against me, Koen Bierstadt!”“What?! He’s Koen Bierstadt?!”After hearing the name, the crowd was immediately horrified.Koen was only an outer dis
“Enough of this nonsense!”“Do you think I care about stupid details like right or wrong?”“Nothing is greater than my reputation!”Koen was clearly annoyed.“Since you’re from Golden Palace as well, I’ll give you a chance.”Koen was already informed of what had happened.“Number one: give my cousin the money she wants!”“Number two: get those three little b*stards to work for her for free! What’s more, they have to do that for three whole years.”“Number three: make them kneel on the spot!”“You’ll come with me after that! I’ll let it slide when all of the conditions are met!”“If not, then don’t blame me for what happens next.”“You’re the ones in the wrong! You can’t do this!” Layne exclaimed in a trembling voice.“What? You’re going to talk reason with me?!” Koen instantly lashed out.“You think I’m scared to go against you people?!”“Even after I destroy this place and cripple the little b*stards, you’ll still have to do everything as I say!”“Golden Palace is eve
