Chapter 21

Author: Lorelei Thunder
Coincidentally, Pamela saw a familiar silhouette walking out next to her as she walked out of the hospital.

"Woody?"

He had already vanished around a corner before she could take a closer look.

She shook her head and muttered, "It couldn't be him."

She had heard that a VIP had been admitted into one of the special wards. No one was allowed to go there.

She figured she was just seeing things because of her exhaustion.

As for the matter of Woody injuring her mother and brother, Pamela decided to settle scores with him after the charity banquet.

After all, the development of the company is more important. The opportunity wouldn't last forever. She had to focus. She couldn't afford to be bothered by trivial matters.

"Why are you here, Pamela? Are you unwell?" an old man carrying a bag of medication asked excitedly. He quickly removed his face mask.

Pamela was still thinking about what had just happened. Hence, the man's sudden appearance surprised her.

She replied, "Mr. Eva

    "Isn't Shane around 60 years old? That's quite early for Alzheimer's disease, isn't it?"Pamela shrugged. "How would I know? Let's stop talking about him. I'm divorced. We're no longer related to them. There's no need for us to worry about him anymore.""Say, why hasn't Woody visited Shane yet?"Trudy's eyes lit up. "The Evanses are the only relatives he has in this city."Dickson chimed in, "Why else? He's embarrassed. He spent four years in jail and got divorced as soon as he got out. He's too ashamed to go back to them."Trudy was delighted, but she tried her best to suppress her emotions. "Pamela, I'll be fine with your dad here. You should head back. You need to focus on what's important." Pamela nodded. "Alright. I'll head back and make preparations. Call if you need me.""Alright, just go!" Trudy was getting impatient. As soon as Pamela left, Trudy got up from the bed. She said excitedly, "Dickson, this is our chance!""Since Shane is misremembering the dates and does

    Woody was dumbfounded. The Evans family had moved? The woman explained, "A family of three used to live here. The man is a professor. He's the one that sold us the house."A professor. It had to be Shane!"When did this happen?" Woody asked anxiously. "Four years ago. Well, it hasn't been four years yet, to be specific. It'll be four years in a few more months. They sold the house in a hurry, so they didn't ask for much. I bought it because I thought the price was reasonable.""Do you know where they moved to?" The woman tried to remember. "I think they should be over at the Serenity Urban Village.""Are you sure?" Woody thought it was unlikely. He figured that with Shane's financial situation, he should be moving to a better neighborhood. Besides, he had already sold his old home. He would be able to afford a house in a higher-end neighborhood."I went by that area once and happened to notice them." The woman was sure she remembered correctly. She sounded very convincing.

    "Thanks for all the work you've done and the money you've spent. You can leave the rest to us!" Shane said excitedly. The excitement on his face was clear. He really wanted Woody to get out of jail as soon as possible.Dickson and Trudy were delighted to hear that. That meant Shane had some money on hand. Their trip here wasn't for nothing."How much do you need?" Mindy asked cautiously. Mindy was different from Shane. She was just a regular housewife with a normal education. She rarely got the chance to interact with different people and matters. So, she wasn't really knowledgeable. That was why Dickson and Trudy looked down on them. Shane had Alzheimer's disease, and Mindy was oblivious. It was a piece of cake to fool them both. Trudy declared without a second thought, "100 thousand dollars."Dickson was taken aback. He quickly gave Trudy a look. They had agreed to ask for 50 thousand dollars on the way here. Why did she suddenly double the amount? What if that amoun

    Mindy quickly replied, "Please don't be angry. I didn't mean that. Why would I ever doubt your sincerity? You're Woody's in-laws. You definitely have his best interest at heart."Of course, I want Woody to be released as soon as possible. Even one day would be great. I apologize if my words offended you. Please don't hold it against an ignorant old woman like me."Shane raised his hand and cut Mindy off. He said seriously, "We have to come up with this money."Trudy and Dickson glanced at each other. They were overjoyed. They had succeeded.A hundred thousand dollars was quite a lot of money. They considered this money the first bit of interest they would be getting back from Woody. They planned to get more from him in the future."But where will we get that much money?" Mindy asked. Shane said firmly, "If we don't have enough, we'll borrow some. Call our relatives, friends, and colleagues. There's Sasha, too. Ask her to think of something. We'll definitely be able to scrape tog

    Shane picked up his phone to make the call. "Hello, Mr. Jett, I need to borrow some money. It's an emergency. I need the money before noon. Is that possible?""How much do you need?" the man asked.Shane thought for a while and said, "70 thousand dollars.""No problem. Since you're a returning customer, you know the rules. You'll get 90% of that amount, and you'll have to pay 130% of that amount in full. Come over now and sign the contract. You'll get the money right after you sign."Shane nodded. "No problem. Thanks, Mr. Jett. I'll head over now."Trudy and Dickson had sly expressions on their faces. They were delighted. "We'll go with you. Have him deposit the money straight into my account. Your house is too smelly. I can't stay here for a moment longer. I won't wait here for you."Trudy wanted to do that because she was afraid that something might derail her plans. Since Shane was the one signing the contract, the debt would have nothing to do with her. Shane agreed wit

    His wife asked for a divorce because all she wanted was money, power, and status. His brother-in-law was an ingrate. He came to Woody's door along with Woody's mother-in-law. The two of them were like thugs, utterly disrespectful, and kept asking for money. Woody thought Dickson would be a reasonable person. He didn't expect him to be the same as the rest of them. In fact, he might even be worse. It was like the old saying, "Birds of a feather flock together"."Do they need a reason to scam you of your money?" Woody said coldly. He was utterly disappointed by the Yorks.He wondered if he was too naive back then or if they were just too good at putting up appearances. He never realized what terrible people they were. Trudy glared at Woody as her temper flared up. She stomped her foot, pointed at Woody, and yelled, "You're talking nonsense! That's slander. You're framing me!"You conspired with that bitch to attack me and Brutus. Now, my whole body hurts! And my poor son. He's

    Woody's eyes were terrifying. Trudy and Dickson were scared. Their faces paled, and they started to tremble. It was like they could see mountains of dead bodies through his cold eyes filled with blood lust. It was as if Death itself was staring into their souls. Back then, the lawyer told Woody that the Yorks worked hard and got the victim to issue a letter of forgiveness. That way, there was a chance for him to get a lighter sentence. If that were the case, then the Yorks would've been the good guys. Woody's sacrifice would've been worth it. After all, Shane was just a lecturer. Teaching was the only thing he knew how to do. Meanwhile, developing and maintaining connections would require skill. That was something Shane was bad at. Who would've thought that the letter of forgiveness was acquired through Shane's money, which he scraped together by selling his house and borrowing from loan sharks? Dickson felt a chill down his spine. He could no longer take the pressure and

    Mindy went up to Dickson and stopped him. "Let's talk things out. There's no need for violence.""Get out of the way, you old beggar!" Dickson pushed Mindy to the ground and continued rushing toward Woody with his fists in the air.Woody kicked him in the stomach and caused him to fly several feet away. He fell on his face. "How dare you hit my husband. I'll kill you!" Trudy rushed over. Woody frowned. Then, he yelled, "Get out!" Trudy was terrified. Her legs gave way, and she slumped to the ground. Dickson was scared, too. Both of them helped each other up and ran away with their tails between their legs. Only after they were out of the house did they start to feel at ease. As she was running away, Trudy yelled, "Woody, you freeloading scum. Just wait. I'll definitely crush you!" Shane helped Mindy up and sighed. "Woody, couldn't you just talk things out with them? Why did you have to escalate things like that? There's no turning back from this.""It is what it is."

    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

    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.
