The position of commander was nothing compared to Woody."Samuel Hills, I'm giving you another chance to answer me. Are you going for your promotion, or will you continue working against me? I'd advise you to think it over carefully!" Kevin angrily glared at Samuel. Without any signs of fear, Samuel said in a determined voice, "I'd give up my job at the Tiusto garrison to protect Mr. Henderson, let alone the position of commander. As long as I'm around, nobody is allowed to harm him."Kevin looked livid now. This was the first time he'd encountered such a reckless person. "What an amazing person you are, Samuel Hills. You can kiss goodbye to your promotion then. Wait for your demotion to the lowest position instead!"Still, Samuel remained composed. "That can wait until you're back in Centralton, submit the report through the hierarchy, and get the approval. But now, I remain as the head of Tiusto garrison and call the shots here! "Release Mr. Henderson immediately! Or else, yo
The amount of people outside shocked Kevin. Although he held a high position and had hundreds of people at his command, that authority was only valid in Centralton.Now, he was in Tiusto. The only people whom he could rely on were Bernard and his team of about 20 people. Without even needing to think, they would be on the losing end should a fight break out.Kevin wasn't a commander for nothing. He had judgment and could sense that Tyga and Mason were carrying a flair only an underground leader would have.It was easy to conclude that both of them were local gangsters. And judging from the current situation, Kevin reckoned that his operation today had hit a snag.He was full of regret for not bringing more men with him to Tiusto. The target of his trip—Woody—was just a young man whom he couldn't find any information on. So, why did so many people show up to his rescue?But it was too late to do anything about it now.If it wasn't because the members of the garrison were on
"You brat, who are you to interrogate me?" Kevin arrogantly said, "I'm not looking down on you all, but you can check with Samuel Hills—even he doesn't have that kind of authority."With a solemn face, Samuel answered, "Mr. Webber, I'd advise you to accept reality. Right now, you're in Tiusto. If you don't tell the truth, you can forget about leaving. I promise you that."Bernard shouted, "Samuel Hills, that's insubordination! Are you sure you want to do this to yourself?"Suddenly, Woody raised his palm, and Bernard rolled across the floor. "Noisy!" Woody exclaimed.It was only after Woody's slap that Bernard realized how strong Woody was. Then, Bernard recalled how arrogant he was when he made the arrest at Villa No. 1, and his heart shuddered in fear. If Woody had attacked at that time, he might have died at his doorstep.Bernard anxiously looked at Kevin. Besides his plea for help, his eyes were questioning Kevin on why he hadn't given him the heads up that their target was
The elderly man was Maurice Steele, one of Dashville's previous commanders. Although he had retired from that post for more than a decade now, he still carried the air of authority of an officer and now served as the advisor to the National Garrison.The guards following him were also public officials. They said, "Get out of the way! Anyone who stands in the way of Mr. Steele's path will be killed!"Right after hopping out of the cars, the guards pulled out their service guns and aimed them at Clement and the others. Clement had never been in such a situation before, so he and his men hurriedly let Maurice pass through.Imposingly, Maurice placed his arms behind his back and walked in with his head held high.Even after entering the building, he kept his chin in the air. He seemed so snobbish that it was as if no one here was worth a glance from him. Soon, he arrived on the second floor."Maurice, you're here!" Kevin delightfully exclaimed. When Maurice saw the palm mark o
Maurice chortled loudly. "There are lots of people who can deal with me. For instance, the highest authorities of the garrison system, or others who have real authority. I'd have to lower my head if I ran into them. "But people like you won't even have the chance to meet people of such authority. To put it crudely, the monkey claims itself as the king of the jungle in the absence of the tiger. You have no choice but to be bullied by me," Maurice said and howled in laughter.While everyone else was furious at what a detestable person Maurice was, Woody stayed calm. Smirking, he nodded and said, "It's good to know that there are people who are able to handle you."Then, Woody took out his phone and went through his contacts. If someone was saved in Woody's contact list, it meant that they were powerful and influential. People like Brayden weren't even fit to be considered as such."Are you asking for help?" Maurice's chortle turned even more arrogant. "You brat, are you putting up
Two years ago, during a mission, Howard had been surrounded and attacked by a foreign organization. As a result, he suffered from severe injuries and lost so much blood that many of his organs were failing. Even specialists from renowned hospitals were helpless and couldn't save him. After that, Howard's father had wanted to give it one last try and sent him to the Tiusto Penitentiary Facility on a private plane. At that time, Howard was breathing his last breath, and only a signature was missing from him being declared medically dead. By that point, the Gibsons had accepted the truth and weren't carrying any hope. However, despite the circumstances, Woody displayed his extraordinary medical skills and saved Howard from the gates of hell. And not only did he save Howard's life, but he'd also managed to restore more than 70% of Howard's cultivation.In just two weeks, Howard was able to get out of bed and move around. Then, six months later, he launched a counterattack on the for
This was the reason why Maurice was so respectful toward Howard despite being older than him. Maurice had to act humbly even when Howard was speaking to him in a rude way. After all, Maurice had to rely on the Gibsons' support for the next few decades. "I just received a report stating that your son-in-law, Kevin Webber, has abused his power for personal gain, was involved in corruption, and extorted wealth from someone!" Howard knew all too well just what kind of man Kevin was. The reason why he hadn't taken action against Kevin yet was not because he respected Maurice. Rather, it was because someone as unimportant as Kevin was not worthy of Howard's attention. "Mr. Webber, he's being slandered!" Maurice panicked and defended Kevin, saying, "I know Kevin's personality. Although he can be a little arrogant, he would never do something as terrible as what you just said!" The three accusations against Kevin were no small matters at all! Any one of those charges would be enoug
Terrified, Kevin's face instantly turned pale, and his eyes widened in fear. "Dad, have you gone mad? What are you trying to do here?" Kevin broke out into a cold sweat. He couldn't believe that his father-in-law would slap him and point a gun at him in front of everyone. He was his son-in-law after all! He was his daughter's husband, and the father of his granddaughter too!Did he do all that because that brat, Woody, made a phone call? Who exactly did Woody call to make Maurice pull out a gun? Everyone else, including Bernard, was shocked at this.Bernard had been jealous of Kevin just a moment ago. In fact, he had thought about how great it would've been to have someone as powerful as Maurice as his father-in-law too. At least that could save him ten or 20 years of hard work. But who would've expected that Maurice would turn against Kevin in the blink of an eye? Suddenly, Maurice fired the gun! It startled everyone.But of course, the shot wasn't aimed at Kevin. Inst
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.
