Then, there was a bang.Rudolf delivered his kick with deep resentment.The force was immense, with no hint of mercy.His sole of a size 43 shoe had close contact with Otto's face.Otto's nasal bone shattered instantly, his head snapped back, and his body hit the ground hard.He passed out instantly!Penny's eyes widened in shock while Mabel's expression looked as if she could feel his pain. "Is he your dad?" Mabel's expression was quite complicated.Penny said annoyingly, "He is him, and I am me!"A few days ago, Grandpa severed all ties with him and completely kicked him out of the family. So, strictly speaking, I don't have any connection with him anymore!"Mabel gave a thumbs-up and sincerely said, "Good riddance!"Having such a peculiar father, Penny had been truly unlucky.Rudolf ordered, "Throw him out!""Rudolf, are you sure you want to do this?" a few employees asked as they felt uncertain.Rudolf ultimately softened and said, "Call the hospital and have them co
"Suddenly, everyone knew that we were scheming, so naturally, it couldn't go on."Bosco suddenly lifted his head, his eyes filled with intense hostility. "Are you saying that the responsibility falls entirely on me?"If you hadn't underestimated the situation and messed up the initial plan, would I have forcefully implemented the backup plan?"Errors are bound to happen when tasks are hastily executed!"Tomas widened his eyes and thought to himself, "That's not what you said earlier on!"Tomas clearly remembered his confident and assured demeanor from earlier."So, it's all your responsibility!"Bosco said unreasonably, "I'll say it again; whoever makes me pay for it, I'll make them pay with their life!"Tomas became anxious and said, "Mr. Harrington, you can't put it like that, can you?"At this stage, we are all involved and each of us must share the risks. This is the most fundamental requirement in business."Bosco glared with his eyes and said, "Tomas, are you trying to
"Absolutely!"Magdalena frowned and glared, declaring with conviction, "Tomas and Bosco are joining forces. It is said that they have been plotting together non-stop, aiming to bring down the Schubert family."But their scheme was exposed, and in the end, they not only failed but also had to flee the scene in embarrassment, completely losing face!"Magdalena looked envious and jealous, gritting her teeth repeatedly. "Do you know how much the new drug launched by the Schubert family is selling for?" she asked."300,00 dollars for one!"Jasmine was utterly astonished and almost exclaimed, "Are they crazy?!"It was so expensive, it would be surprising if anyone bought it!Magdalena exclaimed, "And, they are selling like crazy!"Hundreds of people were lining up there, and there were limited quantities. Apparently, in just a short time, they managed to sell a billion dollars worth of sales."Jasmine widened her eyes. "Do these people have so much money that they don't know what to
Therefore, she was very confident in herself.It was just a minor agency authorization. If Penny did not want to give it, she would definitely regret it.At Hillside Hotel, it was almost noon, but the excitement at the press conference showed no sign of dwindling.On the contrary, it appeared even more lively.Many out-of-town businesspeople were continuously coming here."Ms. Swenson, the hotel manager just came by to ask if you need lunch arrangements. If you do, they need to hurry and prepare since there are quite a lot of people," asked the female assistant.Mabel immediately said, "Nope! We never planned on inviting them for a meal; they're just a bunch of fence-sitters who won't appreciate it even if we do."Prepare some simple snacks, just enough to stave off hunger, as our employees will eat their meals on time."The assistant nodded and said, "Got it!"Mabel looked toward the lounge, and finally, in her high heels, took long strides forward and walked over.Before sh
When Jasmine heard the word "reward," she immediately felt delighted.As the daughter of a medicinal herb trader, she was well aware of the commission rates in this business.Typically, it was about 5% to 10%, depending on the scarcity and value of the medicinal herb and the preferences.Jasmine once witnessed her father, Griffin, introduce a business deal to someone, and he earned a commission of 60 million dollars!When the other person handed over the money, not only did they not feel the slightest bit of pain, but they were also full of gratitude toward Griffin.He kept insisting that if there were ever any more good medicinal herbs in the future, we should definitely think of him.The price of one Restoration Pill was as high as 300 thousand dollars!The most important point was that the Restoration Pill was definitely considered a highly sought-after item.Since it was released, only a few hundred units had been sold.People who came later wouldn't get the 20% discount,
He could still make a 35% profit after deducting the kickbacks paid to Jasmine."Sure, watch me!"Jasmine, looking very imposing and confident, waved over a staff member at the scene and haughtily said, "Get your supervisor over here!""Excuse me, ma'am, what business do you have with our manager?" the other person asked politely.Jasmine looked very impatient and said, "Why are you asking so many questions? You're just a low-level employee and can't make decisions anyway!"The other person remained polite. "If our manager asks, I have to explain the reason to her.""Listen carefully, I am a relative of the Schubert family!"Jasmine said confidently, "Go tell Rudolf or Penny my name, and they'll know who I am and come out to see me right away.""My name is Jasmine, and I'm the favorite granddaughter of your Mr. Schubert!"The person immediately became more polite and said, "Please wait a moment, I'll go report this to the two of them right away."The young man saw what happen
"Don't worry, Mr. Lorel, leave it to me!" Jasmine said confidently, patting her chest.The young gentleman, seeing her so confident, naturally believed her.He took out his phone, dialed a number, and said excitedly, "Spread the word immediately, say that the Lorel family has obtained a large quantity of Restoration Pills."Tell those who want to buy to bring their money and wait at Lorel's Pharmacy!""Yes, as much as you need! If anyone asks, just tell them that I have a powerful connection with the big shots at Schubert Herbary, essentially the top-level executives."Jasmine couldn't help but feel elated upon hearing those words.Top-level executives?He was absolutely right!This was the true purpose of her visit!No matter what, she had to get it done!Schubert Herbary's boss was her grandpa.Once she secured the exclusive distributorship, she would immediately post about it on social media. All those people who used to look down on her would be insanely jealous!When t
"Penny, how dare you speak to me like that? Believe me, I will tear you apart right here and now!" Jasmine's anger began to rise.Woody looked at her coldly and said, "Go ahead, try it."Two versus one!Jasmine didn't really gain any advantage initially, and now she was clearly at a disadvantage."Kid, what business is it of yours?"Jasmine was completely furious. It was already bad enough being disrespected by Penny, but now even an obscure outsider like him was challenging her.He had really got some nerve!"This is between me and Penny, and it has nothing to do with you."Jasmine widened her eyes and shouted, "If you know what's good for you, get out of my way!"Otherwise, I'll have my grandpa deal with you too, and you'll be in big trouble. Got it?"This time, Penny looked at her coldly and said, "Woody is not an outsider."Moreover, Grandpa treats him very well. In his eyes, he is more important than you, his granddaughter."If you don't face reality and insist on caus
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.
