“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
“I’m not the same as you.”Harvey looked calmly at Koen.“I stomp on countless young masters with malicious intent all the damn time. This is getting really annoying for me.”“That said, I wouldn’t mind dealing with another if you have a death wish.”“Golden Palace can’t help you here.”Harvey pointed at the mean woman, his face cold.“Besides, I changed my mind.”“I want that woman to grovel in front of my friends as an apology. I want her to beg for their mercy.”“If she doesn’t do that, I’ll cripple her myself. You have my word!”“Even God can’t get her out of this!”“Oh?”Koen chuckled, filled with unbridled rage.“You’ve got guts, young man!”“You’re saying that you’ll go against me?!”“I understand having a little bit of ego because of your accomplishments…”“But there aren’t a lot of people as cocky as you!”“I can turn you into a damn porcupine if I want to! Don’t believe me?!”Koen waved his hand, and the people behind him fiercely pointed their crossbows at H
“Interesting. Really interesting…”Koen clapped, his face cold.“Not bad. Not bad at all.”“It’s my first time seeing someone insulting me and slapping my men away in Flutwell!”“Impressive!”“Enough yapping. Are you making her kneel or not?” Harvey said, not wasting a single second.“Or would you rather me teach her how to do things instead?”“What the f*ck?! I can’t believe you’re cockier than I am!”Koen was cackling out of pure rage; his expression was completely twisted as he laughed out loud.“Let me tell you something, kid! My people will not apologize!”“On the contrary, you’ll have to kneel in front of her house for three whole days!”“If not, I’ll make sure to come for you sooner or later!”“You have no chance no matter how strong your support is!”“I’m giving you thirty seconds to think about it. Kneel and crawl out of the entrance, then keep kneeling there!”“If you don’t, I’ll break every single limb you have!”“And if you resist, I’ll kill you on the spot!”
“They’re the young talents who are challenging the Indians on behalf of Longmen?” Koen said with a parched mouth as if he realized something.“What? They’re going against the Indians?”“These young masters are here on a mission?”“Someone from Golden Palace is forcing these people to be private instructors for their own gain?”The crowd started to show more doubt.The disciples of Golden Palace felt extremely sluggish as they gripped their crossbows.As the only sacred martial arts training ground in Flutwell, Golden Palace naturally knew that the Indians brought their own top talents to challenge Longmen.They knew Longmen had three top talents out to fight back as well.These were the children who were constantly pampered by the people around them!They were tasked to fight the Indians on behalf of Longmen!This was war!If anyone dared to touch these children before that, not just the outer disciples of Golden Palace, even the lord would have to pay!Koen trembled before
