Half an hour later, Harvey and Ellen arrived at the Blackburn City Budokan.The place was under the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance. Other than training their disciples here, they would also enroll some rich playboys in order to earn a few thousand more dollars every month.A lot of Martial Arts Alliances would do such things; the things they would teach were all basics that the entire world would know.Ellen happily told Harvey that she signed up for a crash course for a hundred and fifty thousand dollars.Harvey heard mostly everything from Ellen; those who enrolled would need to take two to three classes every week for the fundamentals of martial arts.After that, a so-called certificate of completion would be given as proof of their training here.Harvey was speechless; if he was willing to do something like that, the Martial Hall would be on the market in less than a year.While Harvey was busy pitying the rich who had been tricked, Ellen dragged him into the training
Harvey watched calmly; he had no interest in getting involved with the two’s relationship.Eden looked at Ellen with tender affection, but Ellen instinctively moved away from his outstretched hand.She walked toward Harvey before exclaiming coldly, “Stay away from me! We’re not that close!”“Besides, do you think I’m stupid enough to believe a double-crossing scum like you?!”“I already have a boyfriend!”Ellen quickly used Harvey as a scapegoat and blinked at him to signal her intentions.“I won’t leave Harvey for you!”“I’m a loyal woman. I’m completely different from you!”Harvey wanted to explain the situation, but he could only sigh when he saw Ellen’s miserable look.“It’s been a while, Young Master Cobb.”“You?! You’re Ellen’s boyfriend?”Eden’s face darkened at that instant.“Aren’t you Katy’s little kept man?”“Now, you’re going after the Moreno family too?”“How shameless can you get?!”The place fell into an uproar; the crowd stared at Harvey with a disdainful
“I already regret everything I did, Ellen!”“I would never do something that stupid ever again!”“I made a mistake every man would make after getting too drunk!”“So, you need to forgive me!”Eden knelt on one leg before revealing a diamond ring in his hand.“Come back, Ellen. Come back to me!”“Look! I even have the engagement ring ready!”“I only want you in my arms! I’ll make you the happiest woman alive if you become the family’s lady!”“What’s the point of regretting everything now, you b*stard?!”Ellen shot him a fierce look and threw the engagement ring to the ground.“Think about what you’ve done!”“If you meet another good woman, then you better treat her properly!”“It’s no use saying anything now!”Harvey glanced at Ellen; she seemed really adamant on not forgiving Eden.However, he could tell by her tone and attitude that she was starting to change her mind.That said, this was Eden and Ellen’s personal problem; Harvey didn’t like Eden at all, but he wasn’t g
After making such a huge fuss about everything, Harvey finally turned around and looked at Eden.He let out a sigh. “You don’t have the right to duel me.”“Forget about it.”“Think this through.”The bustling training hall was instantly dead silent.Everyone was completely shocked as they looked at Harvey, thinking that he was the world’s biggest idiot.Eden was from one of the South Sea’s great families; he had been trained by the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance since he was a child. Out of the younger generation, he was quite the capable fighter.Even ordinary disciples from the organization were no match for him.‘How dare this country bumpkin even talk to Eden like that?!’‘Who gave him the courage?’Eden froze as well; he had seen a lot of show-offs in his life, but it was rare for him to see someone acting as pompous as Harvey.People who didn’t know would think that Harvey was actually capable of something.Valery couldn’t help but chuckle disdainfully.“You re
Harvey remained emotionless, while Eden was filled with baseless confidence.On the other hand, Ellen quickly held Harvey back.“Don’t fight him! You’re no match against him!” she whispered.To Ellen, Harvey was completely inferior compared to Eden.Eden was the Cobb family’s young master, after all; it would be as easy as drinking water for him to take out an outsider like Harvey.Ellen was planning to use Harvey to rile up Eden, but she didn’t want to get Harvey into trouble either.“What? You only know how to hide behind women now? You’ve spent too much time being kept, I see…”“You don’t even have the balls to step up!”Eden had a disdainful look when he saw Ellen trying to protect Harvey“No wonder people from the Island Nations keep looking down on your people!”“I can see that now!”Harvey’s gaze turned cold after hearing those words.He raised his head before glaring at Eden, who was acting all high and mighty, with narrowed eyes.“You shouldn’t spout nonsense like
Eden crawled off the ground while covering his face, pointing an accusatory finger at Harvey.“H-How dare you sneak up on me like that?!” he screamed through gritted teeth.“You’re shameless!”Slap!Harvey calmly swung his palm forward.“Well? This doesn’t count as sneaking up on you anymore, right?”Slap!“You’re actually challenging me when you’re this bad?”Slap!“I told you you have no right to fight me. Why didn’t you believe me in the first place?”Slap!“You have no right to insult my country with such standards!”“You’re not even worthy!”“I told you to kneel! Don’t you understand me?!”Harvey kept relentlessly insulting Eden while slapping the latter around like a ragdoll.Eden rolled around the training hall in circles before slamming into the weapons rack in the corner.A lot of the weapons fell right onto him soon after, hitting him repeatedly. It was a horrible sight.Valery, along with the other young masters and wealthy ladies, were bewildered; they all
“You shouldn’t be that reckless, Harvey.”After seeing Eden’s bright red neck, Ellen was heartbroken; she couldn’t help but chide Harvey angrily.“Eden’s a young master who’s used to being pampered. He isn’t like you; you’re used to things like this since you were a kid.”“You almost killed him just now. You were being too harsh on him!”Harvey smiled calmly.“He insulted my country and took action first. I only defended myself.”“So what if he did? He wasn’t insulting you! That doesn’t even matter!”“Besides, you were the one who provoked him and said that he wasn’t worthy to fight you!”“Eden wouldn’t say things like that if that wasn’t the case.”“He’s been living a pampered life; he’s used to everyone spoiling him! He only got a little reckless after you challenged him! That was why he did and said those things!”“He isn’t what you think he is…”“So you’re saying it was my fault?”Harvey sighed. He was staring at a woman who had finally lost herself.“You’re saying tha
“I’m fine, Ellen. I almost died, and my face and neck are hurting like Hell!”Eden was actual scum; he could clearly tell that Ellen was getting soft.He didn’t keep going against Harvey; instead, he used the opportunity to hold onto Ellen’s soft hand with a miserable look.“Did you know? All this pain is still nothing compared to the pain of losing you!”“If you forgive me, I’d be willing to get beaten to death or crippled, let alone endure this kind of pain!”“You’re extremely important to me!”Eden’s acting was immaculate.“Please give me another chance, Ellen!” he exclaimed.“My brother challenged that man for you even though he knew that he was a savage, Ellen!” Valery added quickly.“He still gave his all to fight, even if he knew that he was going to lose! Can’t you see how brave he is?”“Look at him!”“My brother’s been pampered his entire life!”“And yet, he was willing to give up his life just for you! Are you still not going to forgive him after this?”“A man is
