"Goodbye, Mr. Henderson!" said Lany. Outside, the captain who had been ordered to arrest Woody at the hospital, along with his team, knelt on both sides of the hallway, with their heads down and trembled in fear. Once Woody had walked away, Tyler, with a darkened expression, gave the order, "Arrest these men as well, and punish them severely! And the entire garrison, every person is to be removed from their posts immediately and bring in a new team to take over." After all, Woody planned to stay in Andorry. Situations like this could never happen again. Otherwise, Tyler would be utterly embarrassed.As his voice echoed through the hall, a chorus of wails erupted from the garrison. At the hospital."How did this happen?"Katherine looked utterly shocked, her eyes wide open, and her brows furrowed deeper with each passing second.She was speaking into her phone, saying, "Is the information accurate? Alright... I understand!"As soon as she hung up, Magdalena asked anxiou
"Jas, what nonsense are you talking about?"Magdalena widened her eyes and scolded, "Woody was clearly taken away by the garrison. The place is now under lockdown so no one can get in or out! Even the Lorane family couldn't do anything, how could Woody be at a restaurant?" Katherine said, "Exactly!"Jasmine took out her phone and opened Penny's Instagram feed, and said loudly, "See for yourselves!"On the screen, Penny was holding up her phone for a selfie. She was smiling brightly, made a peace sign with her fingers, and the person next to her was Woody.Beside Woody was Mabel, dressed in professional attire and exuded an extraordinary aura, she was also smiling sweetly. The background of the photo was a famous restaurant in Andorry, and the table was set with the restaurant's signature dishes. The three of them seemed to be having a great time. "It is fake!" Magdalena trusted Katherine more. If even the Lorane family couldn't resolve the situation, how could Woody have
He only had one mouth, how could he possibly eat all the food that they were piling up on his plate? Outside the glass window, an orange Lamborghini pulled up. The car door opened, and Katherine stepped out, heading straight into the restaurant."Woody, where are you?!"Katherine shoved aside the approaching waiter, shouting loudly, "I know you're here, come out right now!" The diners around them frowned, visibly annoyed. Who was this person? How rude!She was yelling in a public place like it was her own living room. "Who are you? You're being so rude!" Penny immediately reacted and confronted her angrily. Katherine turned her attention toward the sound but completely ignored Penny and Mabel. She pointed directly at Woody and said, "You! How can you still sit here and eat?""Of course, my appetite's just fine!"Woody pointed at his plate and said, "Whether I eat or not, why does it concern you?""You..."Katherine was furious and her tone was harsh as she said, "M
Katherine's face turned pale instantly, and her previous arrogance vanished without a trace. After much hesitation, she finally made up her mind, albeit reluctantly."Woody, you win!"Katherine bit her lip and reluctantly said, "I apologize for what happened that day, it was our fault. I…I'm sorry."Saying those words felt harder than anything she had ever done. Throughout her life, it had always been people seeking her for forgiveness, and most often they would even kneel before her. As a proud and privileged daughter of a wealthy family, apologizing to someone was something she never had to do. "I didn't quite hear you, what did you say?" Woody intentionally made things harder. Katherine was so frustrated that she clenched her teeth and raised her voice, saying, "I'm sorry!"For her, it was nothing short of a humiliation. "You seem to have misunderstood."Woody deliberately frowned and said, "I said both of you need to apologize to the victims. What's the point of a
"By the way, did you meet Woody? What did he say?"Katherine opened her hand to reveal the dust-covered pill and said, "He gave this pill to me and said it would temporarily wake my mother."She couldn't bring herself to mention the apology part."Are you sure?"Magdalena widened her eyes and said, "This thing looks filthy! It's not some random trash you picked up off the ground, is it?"Katherine frowned as it really was something she picked up from the ground.A specialist walked over, furrowed his brow, and said, "Are you the patient's family?""I am a professor at the Kingsvale Medical University, I understand your concern as family members and that you might try every possible option out of desperation. But you can't just believe anyone's words. Do you really think that thing in your hand can be called medicine? Have you perhaps been fooled by some con-man?"Another doctor quickly chimed in, saying, "Exactly, you should trust experts like us. These con artists are not to b
"I can't believe I can actually move!" With the help of Katherine, Caroline successfully got out of bed.“Mom, take it slow. How are you feeling?” Katherine asked anxiously.Caroline moved her arms around. “I feel great! It doesn’t hurt at all!”“This medicine is amazing!” Katherine was in complete awe.That plain-looking pill had such a miraculous effect.Earlier, facing the doctors’ doubts, Katherine insisted on giving the medicine to Caroline, but deep down, she wasn't sure about it at all. She was just giving it a try since all other options were exhausted.Who could have thought that right after taking the pill, Caroline woke up and could even get out of bed on her own? It was truly unbelievable!The doctors looked at each other, regret etched across many of their faces.If they had examined the pill's ingredients more closely earlier, it could have sparked some inspiration. Even if it was about learning through imitation, it would have been worthwhile.Such a valuable op
Jasmine couldn't wait to see how Woody was going to handle that.“Mom, I'm afraid you can't do that,” Katherine said, her expression complicated.Caroline’s eyes widened sharply. “What do you mean? Did he run off?”“It doesn’t matter!” she declared confidently. “He may run, but he can’t hide. Even if he escapes to the ends of the earth, he will be found eventually.”Katherine cut her off. “That pill only made you feel better temporarily! Woody said that if we don’t go and apologize to that mother and daughter today, you will be dead by tomorrow.”Caroline’s eyes widened even more in shock. “What did you just say? Me, Caroline of the Lorane family in Sidsbury, apologize to that lowly pair of mother and daughter?”How ridiculous! She would never apologize to anybody in her life.Katherine forced a bitter smile and nodded. “And it has to be a kneeling apology. We have to compensate for the damages and get their forgiveness.”“Otherwise, you will still be dead.”Caroline immediate
"That could work!" Katherine's eyes lit up as she heard that.This plan seemed solid.Earlier, she had been intimidated by Woody’s powerful methods and believed that obediently apologizing was the only way out.Although kneeling in apology was humiliating, it was nothing compared to Caroline's life. So she hadn't considered other possibilities.After Caroline's reminder, Katherine quickly recognized that this idea was feasible.Just like Caroline said, a pair of women from such humble backgrounds—would they really dare to defy the Lorane family? There was no way they wouldn’t comply.“That brat still has a lot to learn if he wants to go up against me!” Caroline smirked with satisfaction. “I’ll swallow my pride for now, but once I’m fully recovered, I’ll settle all accounts with him.”Katherine nodded eagerly.The two exchanged a look, and Katherine reached out to push the door open.“Let me do it!” Magdalena jogged up to them, volunteering herself and giving the pair a reassur
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.
