Javier's group had flocked to the property sales center.They appeared slightly drunk and had wine bottles in their hands."Ask your manager to come out. Now!""Who dares to stop us? I'm warning you, be nice to us. Mr. Javier is a very prestigious homeowner.""Don't think we'll let you off easy if we don't get a good explanation."The security guard saw how well-dressed the group was, so he didn't want to stop them too aggressively. Hence, the commotion quickly reached the manager's office. "Everyone, I'm Marcus Landon, the manager here. Feel free to tell me your concerns." Then, Marcus quickly asked, "What's the matter?"Javier stepped forward and tilted his chin up to look down at Marcus. "Mr. Landon, you're managing sales, logistics, and property. Don't you think that you have too much on your plate?"A person has their limits, and you might be biting off more than you can chew. You should let go of your control wherever you can. Otherwise, it might create problems," Javi
"Stay where you are. Only your manager has the right to speak with Mr. Javier. What a waste of space you are."What an eye-opener to see trainees employed at such a huge property sales center."Marie had never witnessed a situation like this before, and she was so terrified that she didn't know what to do.Meanwhile, Marcus was grim. He tried his best to hold his anger in, saying, "Everyone, I think there's a misunderstanding here. We've always taken our work in property very seriously. We would never make such a rookie mistake."But if you insist that there's a problem, show us some proof!"Jonah sneered. "How shameless of you! "Look at him go. He's refusing to admit the fault. Wait until he can't explain himself, then he'll start blaming someone else. And if my guesses are right, I think this trainee must bear the responsibility."Trainees are the best scapegoats, after all. And now, we finally know why such a huge property sales center like this would hire trainees—it's to p
"The Morghouls and the Cartwrights are involved in the Lake Kaspy project. And Mr. Javier's father, Mr. Manuel, just had dinner with them a few days ago too.""Mr. Manuel also had dinner with Logan from the Business Association of Darea too.""With such a relationship and network, it would be a piece of cake to get rid of a puny manager here at the property sales center."Javier's lackeys started voicing out to defend him.The expression on Marcus' face turned ugly. After all, he was merely an employee, so he was nothing compared to the big names that were mentioned.Then, upon seeing the look on Marcus' face, Javier became as arrogant as ever.If he couldn't even take down someone as insignificant as Marcus, he would no longer be able to show his face in Tiusto City. He couldn't wait to see the look on Woody's face during the aftermath that was to come.Woody would probably be too embarrassed to continue to show his face at Lake Kaspy.Javier wished that he could show Woody
Meanwhile, in the presidential suite at Maximillion Hotel, Joanna was decked out in makeup and flirtatiously shaking her fiancé's arm. "Darling, I'm about to be bored out of my mind."Based on the thick powder on her face, anyone could tell how over-the-top she was."Let's go out and have fun! Tiusto City is such a beautiful place with so many historical places to visit. We're already here, so we should go out and experience the place. If not, it would be a waste!"Ever since the car accident had occurred when they returned from the Morghouls, Logan had become more wary of things.Initially, he was willing to bring Joanna downstairs to look for food around the area. But ever since tripping over the curb the day before, he was so terrified that he didn't dare to go out anymore.So, for the past two meals, the hotel had prepared their food and had asked the server to bring it to them.Logan looked at the information on his tablet and said with his head down, "Stop it. Can't you see
"It's best if he doesn't go out. Something might happen to him. But if he has to go out, he needs to avoid places that have to do with fire."Woody explained clearly on the phone, "Logan's horoscope is vulnerable toward fire. If he goes anywhere near a place related to fire, he might lose his life.""I understand. I'll convey exactly what you said to Samuel. Thank you on his behalf," Helen said seriously."Don't worry about it. I still owe him one from last time," Woody responded.After Samuel received the message, he immediately walked into Logan's room and said, "I heard that you wanted to head out, Mr. Sullivan. But I'd like to remind you for safety reasons that it's best if you stay in the hotel."Manuel smiled and said, "I think you worry too much, Samuel."We're just going to Starlight Avenue to sightsee. Plus, my transport team will personally escort them. Why would there be any risk?""Exactly. We have your team following us around too, Samuel. That minimizes so much ris
Plus, Logan had a whole garrison personally escorting him, and he was taking a helicopter too. So, it shouldn't be a problem as long as he was cautious.Besides, Woody had mentioned that he'd have a bloody encounter within the next three days. And since today was the third day, things should be fine tomorrow.After half an hour, the helicopter took off, and they soon reached the outskirts.Although Logan was still slightly worried, when he admired the beautiful scenic view below him, his heart was instantly thrilled, and he happily chatted with Manuel."Look! They're fixing the roads!" Joanna pointed below to where a few big construction vehicles blocked the only road up the hill. The workers were installing fences there.Upon hearing this, Samuel couldn't help but frown.After all, the road closure was an excuse he'd made up. He had never expected it to be true.Then, he took his phone out and sent a message to the team that was driving up to ask them to be on standby where the
"The pleasure is mine, Mr. Hart. I have been a believer for a long time." Joanna put on a facade and returned the courtesy.But in reality, Joanna had no regard for religion. She only cared about money. Not only did she choose to be an actress to earn money fast, but it also gave her the advantage of being associated with the rich and famous. This way, it would be easier to fulfill her goal of marrying into money.Manuel knew how to conduct himself too. So, he smiled and said, "Mr. Hart, you're a highly spiritual leader and have made a name for yourself among our people. Not everyone gets to meet you so easily."Manuel did this to not only show Simon that he had come in peace, but ultimately, he wanted to elevate himself and show how well he had prepared everything for Logan."You're too kind," Simon replied.Meanwhile, Logan was thinking to himself about how he had met the right person today.After all, he had been a religious fanatic since the beginning. Otherwise, he wouldn'
After that, Samuel continued with his search. Soon, he received a call from the second squad. "Mr. Hills, there's no one in the construction vehicle and the door is locked. And since it's a heavy vehicle, we can't break the door open. We can only go up the mountain by foot, and we'd need at least three times longer than anticipated."Without thinking, Samuel said, "Run up the mountain! And capture any suspicious person that you run into!"…Meanwhile, on the other side of the mountain, two SUVs rolled across the uneven mountainous terrain. And a few minutes later, they arrived at an abandoned residence and drove into the garden."Get out, all of you!" Logan and the others were roughly shoved out of the car. Besides Joanna, Logan and Manuel had bruises on their faces. But really, the situation wasn't any better for Joanna—her clothes had been ripped, and her hair was a complete mess. And before they could even regain their composure, their abductors pointed the black barrels
Solomon didn't dare to resist and could only comply.By the time everyone arrived at the back of the mountain, the sky was already starting to lighten.Directly ahead lied a deep canyon with steep cliffs.Woody tied one end of the rope to the bridge pillar, slung the coil of rope over his shoulder, and nodded to the people around him."Is there something wrong?" Woody asked the battered elder.The elder quickly responded, "No problem!"Woody pushed off with one foot, launching himself into the air toward the other side of the cliff.While Woody was halfway through the flight, his body began to plummet downward.From this angle, he didn't stand a chance of making it across.At that moment, a giant eagle swooped in from the side.The elder stood at the edge of the cliff and blew the eagle whistle.The giant eagle spread its wings, and with Woody stepping onto its back, they instantly shifted from falling to ascending.In the next moment, he landed steadily at the edge of the
Woody's bold statements echoed throughout the entire Martial Arts Union Headquarters.In the past, if anyone dared to speak to their union president like that, Solomon wouldn't even need to say anything–the followers alone would leave the person questioning their life choices!In front of the Headquarters, how could he be allowed to speak recklessly?The current situation was that Woody not only said something, but also tore down their gate and injured dozens of their people.Of course, this number wasn't set in stone.If anyone else dared to step up, Woody certainly wouldn't hold back and was more than willing to help the Martial Arts Union continue increasing the number of casualties."You... have quite the attitude!"Solomon, being the union president of the alliance, held a certain standing and position, so it was unlikely for him to just back down easily.In reality, he had been feeling extremely anxious for quite some time.The eight seasoned elders teamed up and still c
He didn't want anyone to mention it, especially in public."Where are the eight elders?" Solomon's eyes were filled with rage as he shouted loudly."Here!" The eight elders spoke in unison, giving their response."That person destroyed our place and harmed our followers; he should be struck down on the spot to serve as a warning to others," Solomon said through gritted teeth.The eight elders responded in unison, "Yes, sir!""Attack!"The eight of them were all masters of martial arts who had reached the Peak level.They had impressive performance!At the headquarters, in terms of both status and strength, they were second only to Solomon.Even the legendary Martial God wouldn't stand a chance against the combined strength of these eight individuals.They coordinated seamlessly, surrounding Woody and launching a flurry of fierce attacks from all directions.If it were someone else, they would have been torn apart by them.Woody remained calm, letting his mind wander for a m
In the darkness, countless shadows darted back and forth.When they clearly saw that the gateway, which symbolized the Martial Arts Union, had been destroyed and was now nothing more than a pile of rubble, they were immediately filled with rage."Who dared to be so bold and fearless!""How dare you tear down the Martial Arts Union's gate? You're asking for trouble.""Whoever it is, they're definitely not a good person. Let's deal with them thoroughly first and ask questions later!"A crowd filled with anger saw what appeared to be a figure standing in front of the ruins."Hey kid, did you see who did it?"A sharp-eyed person noticed that the figure was a young man and immediately started questioning him."I'm warning you, this situation is serious. You need to tell everything you've seen, or else you'll face the consequences."Woody stood calmly and said, "I saw it.""Come on, who is it?" a group of people demanded in unison.Woody said calmly, "That's me!""What?!"The gr
Rudolf immediately became anxious. He shielded his granddaughter, Penny, while loudly rebuking, "Mr. Edwards, is this really how your Martial Arts Union treats guests? If word gets out, we won't be afraid of becoming the laughingstock of our peers in the martial arts community!"Solomon was completely unfazed. "You think you're worthy of being called guests?"Faced with a large group of people who were eyeing them aggressively, the three of them were no match at all.It was quickly dealt with!"Solomon, aren't you worried that Mr. Snider's disciple, Woody, will come looking for trouble if you do this?" Rudolf shouted loudly while struggling.Solomon couldn’t care less. “If he dares to come, I will make sure he gets a taste of being a prisoner! The person you were taught by is no good, so it's likely you won't be any better. It's fitting that you pay off your teacher's debt. Let both the old man and you face the consequences together!"What's all the fuss about Woody? He's just a
Solomon was using very offensive language.Miranda had a cold look on her face, but since she was on someone else's turf, she couldn't act out.Jaycee was actually Solomon's sister, and there was an age difference of over twenty years between them.After Jaycee was born, her parents passed away due to illness. Before their death, they entrusted her, still an infant, to the care of Solomon.Solomon had a hard time raising his younger sister by himself. Now, as he watched her grow into a beautiful and talented young woman, she was becoming increasingly admired by people in the martial arts community.There were so many people trying to arrange marriages with the Edwards family that they practically wore down the doorstep from their frequent visits.Solomon was overwhelmed with options, dreaming of his sister marrying into a wealthy family and securing a beautiful marriage.Dreams shattered!Jaycee, who was as fresh and naive, ended up being paired with someone considered old and
To be honest, Woody was quite intrigued.Every time he got into a scuffle with the underlings, he couldn't help but deeply miss Alexia.The esteemed Princess of the Epochal Realm was clearly being used by him as a henchman.The key point is that Alexia wasn't upset at all; instead, she was quite happy to help."No way."Reason overcame impulse, and Woody frowned as he said, "You have to stay at home. Only then can I be at ease."Alexia's expression fell. "Alright then!"Woody laughed and said, "You're being so obedient, I must reward you for that.""What kind of reward?" Her ears perked up with excitement, and her eyes were sparkling.Woody pulled a serpent's core of his pocket and said, "I promised you a gift earlier, and now I'm making good on that promise."Alexia's eyes lit up with excitement again. "The serpent's inner core!"In the past, she would not have paid any attention to the inner core of this quality.Every extra look is an insult to the title "Princess of the
Edwin was, of course, unconvinced! As the teacher, he had failed, but the student had succeeded on the first try. If it wasn't sheer luck, then what was it? Woody didn't respond and picked up a second heavenly crystal. Moments later, he succeeded again! Edwin's eyes widened in amazement, as though he witnessed something truly extraordinary. Meanwhile, the admiration on Alexia's face skyrocketed. "Try it again!" Edwin was still unwilling to accept it. This time, Woody didn't humor him and directly put away the remaining heavenly crystals. "What's the meaning of this?" Edwin widened his eyes. Woody stood up to leave and without looking back, he said, "Thanks!""Wait, are you sure you've fully mastered it?"Edwin hurried after him and said, "What if something goes wrong? I can help you figure it out!""No need. If my master believes he's fine, then he's definitely going to be fine," Alexia said, blocking the old man and speaking with solemn assurance. At that moment, Edwin's
Edwin stiffened his neck, trying to maintain a normal expression to cover up his embarrassment as his earlier demonstration had ended in failure. Although he knew the method, his lack of practice over the years had led to a mistake, which was understandable.""Ha..." Alexia let out a big yawn, her eyelids feeling as though they were weighed down by a thousand pounds; she was getting sleepy!Edwin's lengthy lecture had successfully bored her into a drowsy state. As for the later parts of the lesson, it didn't register in her mind at all; everything he said went in one ear and out the other, leaving no trace behind. "Carry on…"Alexia stretched lazily signaling for the two of them to continue without being affected by her. This left Edwin feeling utterly defeated! He felt as though he had been slapped in the face! Putting a student to sleep was already embarrassing enough, but to make matters worse, his demonstration had also failed. "It's fine, let me try." Woody volunteered.
