"Are you saying that Brandon set Mitchell because of me?" Woody asked with a slight frown. Andrew said firmly, "His ultimate target was certainly you. As for why he chose to target Mitchell as his first step, we couldn't know for sure since he had died. "Although Brandon was young, he was famous for being vicious and cunning. In Kingsville, many opponents who were older and more experienced than him all ended up losing to him." When Andrew spoke about Brandon's past, there was admiration in his tone. It was admirable that a young man like Brandon could be so mature! There was a thick heap of documents in front of Andrew. They detailed all of Brandon's achievements for the past few years. Who would have thought that such a powerful young man, who thrived in Kingsville, would stumble in a small ditch like Tiusto City? Life was truly unpredictable! Even Andrew felt sad for Brandon. Would it not have been better for him to stay in Kingsville as a wealthy young heir? Kingsvill
"Grandpa, please don't say that. It is my duty to do so," Penny said sensibly. Rudolf was moved. In the past, he had always doted on Penny because he didn't fulfill his responsibility as a father to his two daughters when he was young. When he was finally able to do so, his daughters had already grown up. Helpless and guilty, he could only place all his love on his granddaughter, Penny. Now, it seemed that he was truly lucky! The affection he showered on Penny didn't go to waste."Where is Mr. Henderson?" Rudolf asked with respect. Penny replied, "Woody is inside. I'm making tea for him." Rudolf glanced at the old tea set in Penny's hands. Even the tea leaves were the cheap and ordinary kind. He immediately became anxious. He said, "Penny, go to my study right now. Take the artisan teapot set on the right shelf. "There's a 'Z' monogram on the box. It's a teapot set crafted by Zaid Goodall, a prestigious craftsman famous for his teaware designs. "Also, there is a gift b
Just the fact that Penny was the Majestic Ruler's junior was enough for Rudolf to treat her like a precious princess! Forget about living with Rudolf in the main courtyard; he would even agree to give the entire main courtyard to Penny without hesitation. "Right, Penny, you should move in with me since I haven't been feeling well," Rudolf said. Without hesitation, Penny said, "Sure, I'll take care of you from now on." "What a good child." Rudolf beamed with satisfaction. He could feel Penny's love for him, which was untainted by ulterior motives. She wasn't like his other children or grandchildren, who had their own agenda. Even when they faced their own family members, their smiles were mostly fake. Apart from deepening his bond with Penny, Rudolf did this to show Woody his stance. At his age, he could certainly tell that Woody had come to show support for Penny. Since that was the case, Rudolf had to respond to it as well. If not, he would've been too insensible. Rudo
Rudolf wondered what Penny had ever done to deserve such a great honor. He quickly said to Woody, "Mr. Henderson, she didn't know better and was just fooling around. Please don't take it to heart." Chief physician? How could a nobody like Sarah be worthy of having Woody as the chief physician? Even if Herbal Essences planned to hire a chief physician, the Majestic Ruler was someone they could only look up to, and not even think about hiring. "I don't think Penny was fooling around. It's my duty as a disciple to help ease Ms. Sparks' worries," Woody said seriously. Rudolf picked up a few important points from Woody's statement. First, Woody didn't resist the idea of being Sarah's chief physician. In fact, it seemed that he was willing to do it. Secondly, Woody referred to Miranda as "Ms. Sparks" with respect! God, Sarah had truly hit the jackpot! Adele had oppressed Sarah for a few decades, and she could never fight back. She seemed to be on the verge of being marginal
"Woody, let's go this way. We'd reach quicker!" Penny clung to Woody's arm and seemed intimate with him. The two happened to walk past the main courtyard. They saw Otto and the others kneeling and facing the wall with shame. When Otto heard Penny's voice, he blushed. He had really been humiliated today. What would others think of him after he was seen being punished like this? Otto hung his head low and pretended not to notice someone had walked past him. He didn't intend to greet the two, either. "Right, Woody. How did you get to know Mr. Yost?" Penny asked. Otto and the others instantly pricked up their ears. Woody casually said, "I've helped him once, so he owed me a favor." "That's it?" Penny was stunned. Judging from Carter's reaction, it didn't seem like he merely owed Woody a favor. "Of course!" Woody said with a smile. Hearing that made Otto and the others secretly sigh in relief. So that was it! They thought that Woody had been hiding his true identity.
"I could even order my men to throw you out of this car right now!" The bodyguard sitting in the front passenger seat turned his head and glared at Norbert. Norbert's heart sank to his stomach. Terrified, he quickly apologized, "Mr. Sparks, I'm sorry! I spoke without thinking just now. Please don't take it personally! "I've actually figured out how to make the resurgence pill you mentioned before. If you fire me now, nobody else would know how to make it!" Tomas' face lit up. "Are you telling the truth?" Norbert nodded hard. He said, "I've contacted a friend. After checking the information on fragments of ancient medical texts, she has confirmed that the resurgence pill really does exist." Tomas' face darkened. "Fragments? Are you messing with me now?" "No, please listen to me. Indeed, they are fragments. But as long as we do some research with the formula you provided, it shouldn't be hard for us to fill in the gaps given our professional knowledge." Norbert had no cho
"Mr. Sparks, isn't this too much?" Norbert's eyes widened. He wanted to say that Tomas' proposal was unacceptable. It was horrible of him to ask two people to work for one salary! "Forget it if you don't want that!" Tomas said with a snort.He added arrogantly, "It's not hard to find your replacement at all! With the reputation of Herbal Essences, there are countless people who want to work as our chief physician. I can pick whoever I want. "As for the two of you, who would want to hire you when you're just disgraced disciples?" Stunned, Norbert was at a loss for words. He still remembered how polite Tomas was when he found Norbert a month ago. Not only did he offer Norbert a generous salary, but he made all kinds of promises to him. For example, he would be offered a company car, a villa, meal allowances, and more. Lured by these attractive conditions, Norbert ignored his previous employer's attempts to make him stay. He was determined to quit. He didn't expect that all
Not only did that old man run off with someone else's precious daughter, but he didn't even bother to give Miranda a proper status. Now, he would not show his face anywhere. How should Woody introduce himself when he met Sarah? If Sarah heard that Woody was the disciple of that old bastard whom her daughter was with, her anger would reach its breaking point. Even if she wasn't furious, she would surely ask about that old rascal's whereabouts. What should he tell Sarah? Even Woody didn't know where that old guy was hiding or what he was thinking. There was nothing he could say. So, it was better not to meet her. "Right, when we met Tomas and the others in the morning, you mentioned something about chief physicians. What's that about?" Woody asked. Penny became excited as she explained, "Ms. Sparks got inspiration from a fragment of ancient medical text to make a resurgence pill that could heal others. "Not only is this medicine extremely beneficial for martial artists, but
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.
