"Is it really possible?"Harvey asked hopefully, "Is Mr. Ellington that agreeable?" Bosco replied confidently, "It's not like I'm borrowing for free. I'll pay interest at market rates, so what's the problem? Or, we could offer him some shares. With the Norland group's involvement, our family would be rock solid. Whoever the enemy is, they'd be terrified by the name of the Tycoon of Norland and back off on the spot!"In Andorry, Bosco feared no one!The Harrington's foundation wasn't something easily shaken by petty opponents. Harvey nodded repeatedly. "Dad is right, this concerns the rise and fall of our family! You'd better hurry up!""Alright, you two stay home and wait for my triumphant news!" Bosco said with a face full of confidence. He strode away with the confidence and determination of a great general heading into battle.He was practically ready to carve 'victory' onto his forehead. "Who would dare go against our family behind our backs?" Celeste said angrily. H
Mabel briefly recounted the events to Alexander. "This scoundrel really is lawless, isn't he? Just because he has a few men under his command and a son backed by the Iron Sword Sect, he thinks he is above everyone else."Alexander was furious. "To dare stand against Mr. Henderson, his nerve is astounding! Well, since he is here, I'll definitely teach him a lesson!"Mabel was absolutely thrilled!Alexander's reaction was even better than she had hoped, placing him squarely against the Harringtons. "Let him in!" Alexander ordered his assistant, adopting the commanding presence he was known for. Moments later, the door opened. Bosco entered, visibly respectful, and with a smile on his face, he began to flatter Alexander. "Mr. Ellington, since our last meeting in Sidsburry, not only do you look as impressive as ever, but you also seem healthier." However, when he saw Woody sitting next to Alexander, his expression changed instantly. His smile froze as he glared with wide eyes
"Beg him? He's not even worthy!" Bosco glared angrily at Woody and his face filled with fury. "He's nothing but a worthless country bumpkin; he doesn't deserve this!"Naturally, Bosco refused to believe Alexander's words. Who would be foolish enough to give away millions to an unknown young man? Even if he did and Alexander's perspective was beyond Bosco's understanding, wouldn't it be better to donate the fortune to a charity or establish a charitable foundation? That way, he'd gain both reputation and profit!What was Woody's worth?Did he deserve it? In reality, Alexander had only offered half of his wealth as a consultation fee. His statement was merely meant to rile Bosco. In all fairness, Bosco could be considered a ruthless figure, but his outlook was limited. To regard the Majestic Ruler as an ordinary person could only be called blindness."Mr. Ellington, you must be joking with me." Bosco completely ignored Woody and said, "We're both businessmen, and we hav
At the same time, Bosco had overlooked the fact that the man in front of him was an undisputed magnate of the five Northern provinces. It was said that in addition to Alexander's immense wealth, he had an intricate web of connections. In the business world, Alexander had deep ties to the Business Association of Darea. In the political sphere, countless powerful officials were frequently honored guests of the Ellington family. Even in the military, Alexander wielded considerable influence. Compared to him, the Harringtons of Andorry were nothing more than provincialsThere was a saying that a strong dragon could never suppress a local snake, but the Harringtons were so weak that they didn't even stand a chance of raising their power in front of Alexander. When Alexander said that the Harringtons might not see tomorrow's sunrise, he was not exaggerating. In the past, the Harringtons might have had a chance to put up some resistance, but it would only have been a struggle a
"So it was Mr. Trevor and his team handling this matter, then that explains everything."Alexander showed a look of slight regret yet seemed to accept it without complaints. If it had been someone else, he would've insisted on contributing in some way. After all, opportunities to impress the Majestic Ruler were rare, and he couldn't let any minor opportunities slip away. However, Brayden's Business Association of Darea was much more formidable than the Norland Group. "If you're truly eager to help, just give Brayden a call and do whatever tasks you're able to manage," Woody suggested. Alexander instantly looked thrilled. "Thank you, Mr. Henderson. I will call Mr. Trevor right away."With that, he practically leaped up and ran off. Mabel was utterly shocked!If she hadn't known Alexander personally, she would have suspected that he was an imposter. What kind of magic did Woody use to make Alexander so devoted? Sacrificing half of his assets wasn't enough, he was now r
"Three to five hundred million will do, though if you're feeling generous, I wouldn't mind a bit more."He was certain that the other party would readily agree. Although three to five hundred million was only a drop in the bucket for the Harringtons' current situation, it was still better than nothing. Besides, little by little, the amount could add up!A few more calls, and he'd have what he needed. "Mr. Harrington, it's not that I don't want to help, but you called so suddenly, I really don't have any funds to spare right now."The voice of a middle-aged man emerged from the phone's speaker. "Why don't you check with someone else for a quick turnaround? I have something else to take care of so I've got to go now!"Bosco widened his eyes and just as he was about to respond, the line went dead. Beep beep...A harsh dial tone echoed through the phone. That was a slap in the face!Bosco had been certain that the other party wouldn't refuse him. Bosco felt embarrassed, h
"How about I give Jasmine a call first?" Harvey thought of someone.A few years ago, Jasmine pursued Harvey, and the two of them had a period where they were quite close and had a flirtatious connection.Later, Harvey was considered to have an inherently supreme destiny. Naturally, he looked down on someone like Jasmine, who they saw as ordinary and common. It wasn't long before he got involved with Briella.Regardless, having this relationship could still be somewhat helpful at crucial moments."Sure, go ahead and call her."Bosco's expression brightened. "I've heard that the Tuscan family seems to have some issues with Woody."Magdalena has said more than once to others that she looks down on Woody. She spoke very disdainfully and didn't hold back at all."If it wasn't for the fact that there was really no other option, Bosco wouldn't have paid any attention to the small Tuscan family.At this point, finding allies was essentially a lifeline for the Harrington family.Harvey
"For other people, 500 million is indeed a lot, but for your family, it probably isn't much, right?"Harvey started flattering her by saying, "Jasmine, at such a young age, you're already in charge of the Tuscan family. You'll be the leading lady of the first prestigious family in Andorry, embodying beauty, talent, and wisdom all in one!"Everyone can only look up to you! This small amount of money is nothing to you, right?"These words resonated deeply with Jasmine, making her feel elated."I can help you with money, but you have to tell me the reason."The reason Jasmine was able to stay composed was not because she was particularly calm, but because when such a large sum of money was involved, it was essential to get clear answers.Harvey and Celeste exchanged a smile.In the end, it turned out that they could rely on Harvey."To be honest, we've been targeted!"Since Jasmine had already agreed to help, Harvey didn't hesitate to be transparent. "There's a guy called Woody H
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.
