Woody's expression remained calm. Then, he gave Gerald a thumbs up and praised, "Well done, Mr. Whitlock!" Gerald was pleasantly surprised. The truth was that when he'd heard Brian saying that he'd given the Obsidian Flame Grass to the Goldblums as an engagement gift, he instantly thought of the possibility of needing a helicopter. So, he made an arrangement in advance. Meanwhile, in the crowd, a few lackeys from the Goldblum family secretly took out their phones. They wanted to inform the family about what had happened. They hadn't been quick enough to react like Chester. They were simply too shocked earlier and only thought of reporting the incident now.Suddenly, Woody furrowed his brows and struck his palm down. Instantly, a dozen men, including the lackeys, fell to the ground spitting blood. Did Woody hurt them by accident? Of course not! These men were brought over by Brian to attack Alexia in the first place. Ultimately, although they hadn't attacked, it was mer
The grandiose banquet hall was brightly lit, lively and packed with distinguished guests. Jeremiah and Pamela's engagement party today had caused quite a stir in Tiusto City. All the notable figures were invited and had arrived in droves. This just showed how influential the Goldblums were. Various expensive gifts were piled up like mountains on the long table. And on top of the pile of gifts, there was a brocade box. It was the gift from Brian. The guests pointed as they whispered their guesses among themselves. "What could the gift on the top of the pile be?" "Perhaps jewelry or antiques? It has to be something extremely valuable. If not, it wouldn't have been placed on the top." "I'm sure that the value of this gift has to be valued at nine figures!" No one knew that the item in the box was a priceless medicinal herb—the Obsidian Flame Grass! In a room on the second floor, Pamela was wearing a Chanel haute couture gown. She was lost in thought as she gazed ou
"Jeremiah, what do you mean by that?" Pamela was stunned. Both Trudy and Dickson pricked up their ears. Even Brutus, whose arms were in casts, was instantly excited. Jeremiah pretended to be nonchalant as he replied, "Nothing! You know how arrogant Woody usually is. He has made quite a few enemies." "That's right, he causes trouble everywhere he goes. Brutus' broken arm and Julian's injury were all caused by that bastard!" Trudy nodded in agreement. Jeremiah observed Pamela's reaction in secret and said, "Woody offended someone from Strikerine this time. Mr. Marlin challenged him to a life-or-death duel, which was set for today." Pamela frowned. Then, Jeremiah checked his watch on purpose and continued, "Looking at the time now, they should have started the duel already. "Woody is a cunning one. They promised to have the duel today, yet he only appeared when it was nearly evening. He made Mr. Marlin and everyone else wait for him the whole day. "Mr. Marlin possesses the
"In terms of looks, Mr. Julian is just as good-looking as Mr. Jeremiah!" "All the ladies here are in luck. Since they missed their shot at Mr. Jeremiah, being able to date Mr. Julian wouldn't be too bad either." Upon hearing these words, Julian felt complicated. There were many beautiful women among today's guests, and as the second son of the Goldblum family, he could easily win over any of them with his charm and money. But the problem now was that his manhood had been completely ruined! Other men might be bad in bed despite their good looks, but that was better than nothing. As long as they were willing to spend and take some blue pills, they could still perform normally. But Julian was neither pleasing to look at nor useful in bed! There was nothing under his pants, and even going to the bathroom had become a problem for him. After his injuries completely healed, he could get an implant. But that would merely satisfy his bathroom needs. With so many hotties around,
Just a moment ago, Jeremiah had been confidently reassuring everyone that Woody would surely be killed by Brian. But now, Woody had appeared before them safe and sound. His appearance felt like a huge slap across Jeremiah's face. "That brat is still alive?" With a resentful and vicious look, Julian bellowed, "Shouldn't you be dueling against Mr. Marlin at Strikerine now? "I know! You must have shamelessly ran back here for fear of fighting against him! "Nimrod, hurry and call Mr. Marlin. Tell him that Woody has escaped to Tiusto City. Ask him to come over now, quickly." With a helpless face, Nimrod said, "Mr. Julian, we can't reach!" As Nimrod spoke, he held his phone up in front of everyone. Then, he dialed the number of Strikerine's second top apprentice. The line merely rang without anyone picking up."See that? I didn't lie to you. Nobody is picking up!" "Hello…" someone suddenly answered the phone. It had been one hour since the people who were knocked out by Al
The worst part was that Woody had appeared at the engagement banquet! If even someone like Brian couldn't stop him, who else in the venue would be able to fight Woody? "Woody, what exactly do you want?" Frowning, Jeremiah tried to villainize Woody. "Today is a special day for me and Pam. Don't you think you're going too far by coming over here to cause trouble? "You just couldn't stand seeing Pam doing well, could you? You're so petty!" Not only was Jeremiah good at playing the victim, but he was also skilled at sowing discord. He was trying to take the moral high ground and represent justice so that he could criticize Woody mercilessly. Right then, a wretched voice rang out, "Woody Henderson, how dare you come here and cause a scene? Are you jealous that Pam has found a good match? Is that why you've come to pick a fight?" Trudy was just bragging to a bunch of wealthy ladies a moment ago. Her arrogance knew no bounds. With Pamela marrying into a rich family, Trudy had na
"Woody Henderson, you've gone too far!" Pamela was instantly furious. "You allowed someone to hit my mom and even said such merciless things. "My mom is still an elder no matter what. Don't you think you're going too far by saying all that?" Woody smiled in disdain. "Elder? She's not worthy of my respect! You can respect her all you want if that's your choice. But it's not mine. She's trash to me."Since we're already divorced, what right do you have to make demands of me?" "Woody Henderson, you!" Pamela hit the roof. Coldly, Woody replied, "You should count yourself lucky. If it had been me who struck her, there's no way she would be able to scold anybody again!" Dickson wanted to stand up for Trudy and scold Woody, but after seeing Trudy's miserable state, he swallowed his words. Then, he repeatedly told himself to not act rashly when the odds were against him. Agitating Woody would do him no good, after all.Judging from Woody's attitude toward Trudy, he could tell tha
The Goldblums' ultimate goal was to restore their power and status in Draconia. All of their focus would shift toward Draconia from now on. Originally, David and Julian were the ones handling the business matters. Meanwhile, Jeremiah would continue to socialize and expand their family connections, which was what he was best at. But now, with David dead and Julian incapacitated, their responsibilities naturally fell on Jeremiah's shoulders. Hence, working as a member of Interpol was not important for him anymore. "Woody, your death today will mark the grand return of our family!" Jeremiah's face grew increasingly contorted. "You should be honored to be the first test subject of the guns owned by the Goldblum family. "Ladies, you're young and innocent. Seeing as how you were scammed by a scum like him, I won't make things difficult for you as long as you're willing to break ties with him. "Since you're so young, you shouldn't sacrifice yourselves by accompanying a doomed man to
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.
