"Do you know who I am? Tanner Jett is my uncle, and Ryan Jett is my cousin. You're done for, and so is that old couple!""Is that so?" Woody replied calmly as he bent Roman's arm. A crack was heard as the dagger fell from Roman's hands. Roman's arm broke, and his bone tore through his skin. Blood immediately began streaming out, and he began to scream. Woody slapped him across the face, forcing him to shut up. "How much money did you get from cheating Shane? Speak!" Woody shouted. Then, he grabbed Roman's other arm. Roman was in so much pain that he got onto his knees. "What are you standing around for? Tell him!" Roman shouted at the lackey who was in charge of the accounts.The lackey nervously said, "It's around 500 thousand dollars. The capital was 200 thousand, and the interest was 300 thousand!""I am a very reasonable man. So I want you to return the 300 thousand to Shane. The balance will be your interest," Woody ordered.Widening his eyes, Roman said defiantly, "In y
In the Jett residence in Tiusto City, the atmosphere in the living room was a little tense. The man in the middle had a square face and a tall build. He exuded a decisive air, and no one dared to look him in the eye."How's Roman now?" he asked in a low voice.The man was the underground king of Tiusto City and an influential figure whose fame equaled Mason's. His name was Tanner Jett.Ever since Mason left the underground world, the Jett family seized the opportunity to fill the gap. Hence, Tanner's status had skyrocketed nearly overnight.A young man who resembled Tanner stood in front of him. He was Tanner's son, Ryan Jett. Ryan was infinitely more cruel than his father. Tanner at least had some sense of justice. But Ryan only played by his own rules. He never had mercy on people."Roman broke both legs and an arm, and he's undergoing treatment at the hospital. Don't worry. The attending physician is the leading expert in orthopedics. Roman will be fine," Ryan replied.An ic
Despite her explanation, her colleague didn't seem to care. "No matter what, he's at fault for getting violent! He was sentenced to jail for beating people up, which means that it was something serious. He couldn't have been a decent man."Sasha felt a little upset when she heard that. But then, she shifted her stance. Why would she care so much about Woody's reputation? He had landed himself in jail. She didn't owe him anything!The manager smiled as a cunning look flashed across his eyes. He said, "He's a jerk who upset our precious Sasha, so he mustn't join our company. I'll talk to HR and tell them to remember his name. That'll do it."Sasha's eyes lit up as she said happily, "Right! Why didn't I think of that? You're so smart, Mr. Dakota."The manager was Javier Dakota. He was the son of an extremely wealthy family, and rumor was that his family had assets worth more than 100 million dollars. When he started work here, he claimed he was here to learn. In reality, he was just h
Shane and Mindy relocated to an unassuming family inn in Southpoint. They had been moved here because the Cartwrights held power in this area. No one would dare to come over and cause a stir.Helen had booked out the whole hotel. Apart from Shane and Mindy, the only other guests were bodyguards sent by the Cartwright family to ensure their safety.Sasha went up the stairs doubtfully and knocked on the door of a room. "Coming!" Sasha let down her guard when she saw Mindy opening the door. Inside, she saw Shane and Woody. Sasha frowned. "Why did you ask me to come here? I'm not in the mood to dine with someone I hate."Shane reprimanded her harshly. "Watch your words. After you left in the afternoon, Woody saved me and your mom. He even helped us get back 300 thousand dollars from the loan sharks!""What? Him? You have to be kidding!" Sasha refused to believe it.She always thought that Woody was a feeble scholar like Shane. In contrast, the loan sharks were thugs, and many of the
Woody ended the call and put on a neat outfit before going downstairs.On the ground floor, a Mercedes-Benz drove up to the entrance. The doorman was about to open the car door when a figure dashed forward first. "Let me do it!"The man wore an expensive tailored suit, and his hair was combed neatly. It was none other than Kurt, Pamela's admirer.Four years ago, when he was lying on the sick bed with his head bandaged up, he was charmed by Pamela, who had come over to apologize. Kurt immediately forgave Pamela's family, but he had no intentions of letting Woody off the hook.For the past four years, Kurt kept trying to please Pamela, and he even dreamed about winning her heart. His current actions were proof of that."Mr. Donnel? No, I can't let you do this!" Pamela looked surprised by his enthusiastic welcome.Kurt put on a cool smile as he said respectfully, "It's my honor to open the door for you."Pamela was wearing black stockings, and as she took a step out of the car, she
"No!" Pamela had a nervous look on her face as she declined hastily.When she saw the odd looks on Kurt and Miriam's faces, she explained, "We're on the Cartwright family's turf today, and their guests are all important figures. If we get into a fight, we'll get a bad rep."I mean, you don't have to sacrifice your reputation and future because of someone like him, Mr. Donnel."Although Kurt smiled, a vicious look flashed across his eyes. "Fine. I won't hit him, but I'll disgrace him. Consider it justice for Mrs. York and Brutus."This time, Pamela didn't stop him, so it was impliedly agreed. "Just wait for the good news!"Kurt ruthlessly dashed over to Woody and said, "Woody, stop right there!"Woody turned around and glanced at the man whom he didn't recognize. "Who are you?"When he had been sent to prison Kurt's head had been bandaged and swollen. It made sense that he didn't recognize Kurt.Kurt leaned sideways as he lifted his finger, pointing at his head as he rolled his
At the entrance, Woody was stopped by a man in a suit. "Sir, please show me your invitation."Woody had no idea that this event was by invitation only. When the man noticed that, he explained, "I'm sorry, but there's a classy dinner being held inside. If you don't have an invitation, you cannot go in."Woody frowned. He remembered Helen telling him to call her when he had arrived downstairs, and she would meet him in person. He felt that she didn't have to go through the trouble, so he decided to forget all about it.He was about to grab his phone when the man in the suit suddenly beamed. He asked, "I'm sorry, but are you Mr. Henderson?""Yes. I'm Woody Henderson."The man immediately corrected himself and said, "I'm so sorry for not recognizing you earlier, Mr. Henderson. Please forgive me.""Do you know me?" Woody was curious."Three days ago, I was with Clement at the third inpatient department. I had the honor of meeting you… Hold on, I'll inform Ms. Helen right away."Kurt
As Pamela and the others watched on in shock, Woody strode through the doors."The VIP is here. Be on your highest guard. The dinner tonight is a special one, and we can't afford to make any mistakes!" Clement instructed his subordinates before hastily jogging after Woody.Kurt couldn't believe what he just saw. Woody was wearing cheap clothing, and he had only recently been released from prison. Why would the Cartwright family treat him as an honored guest? Everyone knew how esteemed the Cartwrights were.In Tiusto, both wealthy businessmen and big shots would try to suck up to the Cartwrights. The Cartwrights never had to suck up to anyone.Even the Donnels had always depended on the Cartwrights to earn their living. Kurt's father could meet Mason, but it was quite a lofty wish. But now, the Cartwrights were being extremely polite to Woody. It didn't make sense at all."What's going on?" Kurt asked Pamela, widening his eyes.Pamela was puzzled as well. "How would I know? We got
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.
