"My dad and several bosses from Tiusto City are here. They called me to tell me about this just now, and they even asked me to go and make a toast to them."Jonah was very envious. "You're so amazing, Mr. Dakota. Even the Business Association of Darea wants to collaborate with you. Your family business is about to expand!" Javier loved it when people complimented him like that. Queenie looked excited as she asked, "Mr. Dakota, can we go and make a toast with you? I want to see all these important people." "Of course!" Javier agreed without even thinking.After all, only he would be introduced by name, and the rest would be categorized as "Javier's colleagues". He wasn't worried that they would steal his thunder at all. Jonah was delighted at how useful his girlfriend was. They were excellent partners. "When should we go up then?" Even if they could only meet one boss, it would still be very helpful for their future developments. "We can go now. Let's get ready." Everyon
Calla had come to Royal Delicacies straight from work, so she was dressed in business attire.Business attire always looked pretty much the same, so it was rather similar to the uniforms of the wait staff here. The drunk woman must have thought that Calla was a waitress, which was why she had tried to order her around. "I think you've misunderstood, Madam…""Misunderstood my foot! Do you know who I am? Even Mr. Yale has to treat me respectfully. How dare you disobey my orders?" Before Calla could explain, the woman rudely interrupted her and glared at her. "Stop pretending to be all high and mighty in front of me. I've seen plenty of bitches like you!"How dare you talk back to me? I'll help Mr. Yale—I’ll teach you how to be a good waitress!" The woman rushed over to Calla and pushed her. Calla was caught off guard and fell to the floor at once. The woman grabbed her hair and slapped her. The woman was still not satisfied, and she raised her hand again."Stop!" Woody ap
"What an eye-opening experience to have met a big shot! We need to thank Mr. Dakota. Without him, none of us would have had this experience." Even Sasha was somewhat excited and thought that it was a worthwhile experience."What's wrong, Calla? Why is your face red?" Sasha sensed something was off with Calla.Unbothered, Calla said, "It's nothing. I think the water was too hot when I cleansed my face."She didn't plan to tell anyone about what happened earlier. It would be their little secret that she would lock deep in her heart.Then, chaotic footsteps sounded from outside."Bang!" Someone aggressively kicked the door of the private room open.Everyone was stunned as a dozen security guards then entered the room uninvited. Behind them, Eddie was dragging a woman with half a swollen face along with him. When the woman saw Woody and Calla, rage flared in her eyes. She raised her hand and pointed at them furiously. "Darling, he was the one who beat me up. You have to stand
"Lewd?"Everyone looked at Woody with weird gazes."That's right. He forced himself on me by hugging me from behind and dragging me into the men's restroom. If I didn't struggle with everything I had, he would've gotten what he wanted!"The woman cried, trying to manipulate the people, saying, "Then, he had to stop because a lady appeared. He asked me to stay quiet and threatened to kill me if I made a sound."I was terrified. I didn't dare say a word as I watched him leave."Although she was fabricating everything, her story still sounded as if it was real.The woman was truly better than any actor in distorting the truth. She said her lies with so much conviction, as if everything actually happened as she described.Instantly, everyone was angry."You're an animal, Woody Henderson!"Javier was furious. "No wonder you didn't want to have the toast with us. And instead, you did something despicable!"I'm going to report you to the company so they can fire you tomorrow and mak
"How much?" Eddie and the woman asked at the same time, evidently shocked.They thought it would only cost a few thousand dollars. But they never expected Javier to name a hundred thousand dollars as compensation.Javier witnessed everyone's reaction and knew what they were thinking. However, he pretended to be oblivious and asked, "Is that not enough? How about five hundred thousand dollars then?"Other than monetary compensation, I'll also have him apologize to your girlfriend. How does that sound?"When Javier proposed a compensation of a hundred thousand dollars, the woman was already ready to accept it. She had the words at the tip of her tongue.But she never expected Javier to offer more than that. Now, she was giddy with shock.It was a whopping five hundred thousand dollars!She barely got twenty thousand dollars every month for her allowance as Eddie's mistress. But now, she could earn two years' worth of living expenses just from one slap!Meanwhile, Eddie was equa
Everyone thought that this was the end for Woody!Eddie had already established his position in society over the course of many years. He'd even gone for martial arts lessons and was a martial arts practitioner.One kick from him could easily break a three-inch wooden board.Woody could say goodbye to Father's Day from Eddie's kick alone.Not to mention, Eddie was also a vicious man. If he said he would chop both of Woody's hands off, he certainly meant it.Calla and Sasha closed their eyes at the same time, not bearing to watch such a tragic scene.In contrast, Javier and Jonah were thrilled. They'd always wanted to humiliate Woody from the start. And now, they felt liberated to see Woody suffer such a tragic end."Go to hell!" Woody extended his leg and kicked Eddie's stomach."Bang!" Eddie immediately flew into the air, his body bending as he flew out the door. Then, he hit the wall hard before collapsing onto the ground.And now, in the marble decoration of the wall was a
"Mr. Henderson, what brings you here? Are you here to dine? Someone like you should be dining in the Emperor Hall upstairs. Why did you downgrade yourself to a normal room?" Clement bowed and leaned slightly forward. He said respectfully, "You should have told me beforehand. I would have arranged for someone to exclusively serve you."Everyone was stunned by Clement's reaction. They didn't expect this to happen.What was going on? They thought Clement would be on Eddie's side and would ask his men to give Woody a piece of their minds.They didn't understand why Clement was paying Woody so much respect. After all, he was a convict who was just recently released. He didn't deserve such treatment."It's all thanks to 'someone' that I'm dining here." Woody was indifferent as he sneered. "Apparently, I had a fake card. I couldn't even get through the entrance, let alone dine in the Emperor Hall. "What a joke!"Fake card?But Clement had personally witnessed Mason gifting the supre
The truth was revealed. Sasha didn't dare look Woody in the eye.At this moment, she felt like a failure!She had believed a rude bitch instead of Woody, with whom she had shared her childhood with.Plus, she insisted on her opinion even after Calla had repeatedly supported Woody's story."You bitch, you caused trouble and blamed it on other people. You even asked this imbecile to step on others too! You're really getting on my nerves!" Clement charged toward the woman and started profusely kicking her."I never lay my hands on women, but I'll make an exception for you, you rude bitch!" Clement cursed.As everyone watched, they felt terrified, and no one dared to let out a breath."Someone, please throw these bastards out!" Clement beckoned his hand.Immediately, a few of his lackeys came and dragged Eddie and the woman out of the room as if they were dragging a pair of dead bodies.After everything was settled, Clement hastily went to Woody again. He said humbly, "Don't w
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.
