Chapter 52

Author: Lorelei Thunder
In her seat, Pamela was panicking. She couldn't understand what had gone wrong, and why her efforts were in vain.

Just then, Miriam's phone rang. "It's a call from my cousin. I can ask her about the reason," Miriam said, pointing at her phone.

Pamela nodded, a nervous look appearing on her face.

"Hello… What did you just say? The Legal Department is drafting a contract, and York Corporation will be their gold-tier partner?"

When Pamela heard that, she immediately looked joyful.

"Wait, you just said that we were disqualified. Why did they change their mind so soon? Quit pulling my leg! I can't handle something like this!"

But Kurt remained in disbelief. His dad said that there was no chance, so it had to be true. There couldn't have been any changes. He was convinced that the caller was joking with Miriam.

The Cartwrights always kept their word. They would never change anything after it was confirmed.

Before Miriam ended the call, Pamela asked eagerly, "So what's the situation l

    Miriam was right behind Kurt and began mocking Woody. "You just found a random woman to depend on, and you scam people to get by. What's there to be proud of? Mr. Donnel is a real elite. He just has to make a call to help Ms. York solve a huge problem!"Woody frowned a little as he said, "Are you done talking? If so, please step aside. It's not polite to block someone off."He couldn't be bothered to waste his breath on them, and he didn't want to deal with their shameless behavior at all!Miriam immediately grew arrogant. "Are you mad because of what I said? You're just a former prisoner, so quit trying to be better than us. You're not worthy!""Well, tell me, then. What's so good about Kurt?" Woody's expression gradually turned cold.Miriam said proudly, "Listen well. Just now, Mr. Donnel only had to make a call to turn things around. He helped us become the Cartwrights' gold-tier partner. What about you? You won't be able to do it even in your dreams!"Woody frowned again. "Ar

    Without trust, no matter how many times Woody explained himself, it would be for naught. "Suit yourself then. I just hope you don't regret it." Woody had a dark expression on his face as he strode away.Pamela was furious, and she lost her sense of reason as she shouted at him, "The thing I regret the most is choosing you all those years ago!"Kurt pretended to be a peacemaker as he said, "Pamela, calm down. It's not worth getting angry over people like him. He probably felt indignant about the divorce, and when he saw you with someone as outstanding as me, he just felt jealous. It's a normal reaction, so I can understand why he's like that."Miriam took the opportunity to curry favor with him. "See that, Ms. York? This is how huge the difference in people can be. You wouldn't know until you've seen enough of them!"You're just too kind and value relationships too much. You feared that it might affect him in jail, so you dragged the divorce out for four years. Now, reality has prov

    But this time was different.Ryan loved conquering various beauties, and those with cold personalities could especially invoke his desire to win. In fact, he felt even more accomplished after he had conquered them."Hey, pretty lady, have we met somewhere before? Let me treat you to a drink."Ryan strode up to Pamela with an evil smile on his face. He examined her all over, not even bothering to hide it.Pamela didn't hide her disgust toward him either. She said in a cold voice, "I don't know you. I'm not interested!""We'll get to know each other soon enough. In fact, we'll soon be clinging onto each other!" Ryan had a lustful smile on his face as he licked his lips, saying, "You don't have to pretend to be pure in front of me."Both people and goods have their prices. Just tell me, how much are you charging to spend a night with me?"Pamela was furious. "Get lost!"But instead of getting angry, Ryan got even more excited. He reached out to touch Pamela's chin. "You're quite a

    "We should have known better. I'm so sorry for not recognizing you earlier and offending you, Mr. Ryan."My dad is Timothy Donnel from Donnel Corporations, and my name is Kurt."We had a meal together two years ago, remember? We were at… Stone Hearth Restaurant, yes. My dad brought me along, and we toasted your father and you. Do you remember?"That incident just now was a misunderstanding. Mr. Ryan, please let it go for my father's sake!"All the arrogance was gone from Kurt. He bowed deeply and even spoke in an extremely respectful tone. So much so that the others thought that he would be kneeling anytime soon.Miriam was shocked as well. Based on her impression of him, Kurt had always behaved haughtily and had never been so humble before.She almost thought that the man in front of her was an impostor."Who's Mr. Ryan? I've never heard of that man before. Besides, we have the Cartwrights backing us, right? "Mr. Donnel, why are you so afraid of him?" Miriam couldn't help bu

    Helen's expression was dark, and a cold look flashed across her eyes.Clement approached her with his subordinates and asked, "Ms. Helen, should we go and help Ms. York out? Setting aside her identity as a gold-tier partner, she and Mr. Henderson—""No need!"Helen had a wise look on her face as she said emotionlessly, "Her fate has nothing to do with me. I only treated her well once for Mr. Henderson's sake. But I don't have anything to do with her."Without clear instructions from Mr. Henderson, you are not to make any moves!"Clement frowned. "What if Mr. Henderson intervened? I mean, what if Mr. Henderson is in danger? After all, Ryan isn't a decent man, and he has very cruel methods.""Attack right away! Even if both parties end up dead, and this whole place is flooded with blood, we have to ensure Mr. Henderson's safety," Helen said without hesitation.Clement understood immediately as he nodded and said, "Only when Mr. Henderson is safe can Mason have a shot at recovery.

    A group of burly and fierce-looking guys then dashed over to Woody. Kurt and Miriam were shocked. They thought that Ryan only had a few bodyguards with him. But now, by the looks of it, there seemed to be more to it than met the eye.Ryan had come here to cause trouble, after all. So, he couldn't possibly just bring a few men with him. He was arrogant, but he wasn't a fool!Even Pamela was shocked, and she couldn't help but worry about Woody's actions. Not to mention, she was also worried about the fate that awaited her."Damn it, we underestimated him!"Clement's expression tensed as he hastily rallied his men to rush forward and save Woody."Hurry!" Helen was startled as well.The men were dozens of yards away from Woody. So, even if they rushed over right away, Woody might still suffer a few hits that could put him in mortal danger.After all, the people who followed Ryan were all vicious outlaws, and there were dozens of them. Even if each one of them landed only one a

    However, Woody alone had defeated a dozen of those men in the blink of an eye.Goodness!Pamela was shocked as well. She had no idea that Woody was so good at fighting.Woody then slowly approached Ryan, with every step he took following the beat of Ryan's heart. It was extremely terrifying.Ryan panicked. Then, whipping out a dagger, he held it against Pamela's neck. He gritted his teeth and glared at Woody as he threatened, "If you dare take another step forward, I'll kill her!"Frowning slightly, Woody stopped walking."Hah, I thought you weren't afraid of anything. But as it turns out, you're a coward too!" With a hostage in his hands, Ryan felt like he was capable of pulling this off after all. He ordered, "Kneel right now. If not—"But suddenly, Woody dashed forward, turning into a blur. And before Ryan could return to his senses, Woody was already gripping his wrist.A crack sounded, and the dagger fell to the floor with a clang.Ryan was stunned. Then, he screamed

    Pamela's expression shifted yet again. She only wanted to give Woody a reminder because she thought that she was safe from Ryan. But who would've thought that Ryan still didn't want to let her go."Do you hear him? Mr. Ryan wants you to kneel before him!" Kurt crowed.Compared to what might happen to Pamela, Kurt was more curious about what Woody's choice would be and the consequences that would follow.Would Woody kneel? If he did, he'd lose all his dignity. What's more, there were so many people present here, including Helen, and Woody would never be able to revive his reputation again if he did.But if he didn't kneel, he'd antagonize Ryan for sure. And knowing how cruel the Jett family could be, Woody would only be digging his own grave.But Kurt was happy in his own twisted way. To him, he thought that Woody shouldn't have disrespected him in the first place, especially not when he could easily end Woody's life with a mere word! Suddenly, a loud clapping sound rang out.

    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.
