Nonetheless, Wing Chun was just a set of relatively ordinary boxing and martial arts techniques. It was not a form of inner family boxing.In comparison, the rank of inner family boxing was generally higher compared to ordinary boxing.This was because ordinary boxing was actually just a kind of combat and fighting style and technique. Whether it was Wing Chun, Karate, or Taekwondo, all of these were just fighting skills and techniques. However, those who created these various fighting styles and techniques had their own way of looking at problems. Therefore, the various combat and fighting techniques that they came up with were all different.However, inner family boxing was different.The practice of inner family boxing was not focused on physical skills, but the cultivation of a person’s internal strength.It referred mainly to the domination of the inner strength that was cultivated through internal strength training.In contrast, inner family boxing was much more advanced co
Rosalie was only in her early twenties this year, but she had already opened up her Ren meridian and Du meridian.This was already a top-notch feat amongst the young people of the Harker family and also all the other major martial arts families.Moreover, Rosalie did not even dare to hope that she would be able to open up her third meridian.Her biggest wish now was to strive and work hard to make sure that her Ren meridian and Du meridian were even smoother and flowing without any obstructions.This was because there were multiple dimensions in the measurement employed by masters in inner family boxing.The number of the eight extraordinary meridians that had been opened was just one of it. For instance, Rosalie had opened up her Ren meridian at the age of fifteen, and she had only opened up her Du meridian at the age of twenty. Therefore, she had just opened up her Du meridian not too long ago.According to the judging standards of all martial artists, the degree of uninterru
This would not only cause her current strength to take a big leap forward, but it would also make her future martial arts journey much smoother!With a fully functional Ren meridian as her foundation, she would be able to gain twice the results with half the effort in her future martial arts journey!Rosalie was extremely excited, and she was also deeply shocked!‘Mr. Wade only touched my wrist slightly to check my pulse, but he could bring about such a huge improvement to my cultivation. How strong and powerful is he?!’‘Gaining a fully functional Ren meridian is tantamount to reaching the furthest extreme in the foundation of martial arts. This is something that I would never have dared to dream of in this lifetime… and it is also an achievement that most martial artists would never be able to achieve in this lifetime…’‘Yet, it was so easy to Mr. Wade, and he did not need to put in any effort at all…’‘This… this… this is simply a miracle!’‘However, this kind of supernatural
Just as Rosalie was feeling very excited about the good fortune and blessing that Charlie had bestowed upon her, and just as she was feeling puzzled about the reason why he was willing to remain as a live-in son-in-law, Charlie said indifferently, “You can speak to Isaac directly if you have any needs or requests. He will certainly see to your needs, then. I will leave first.”Rosalie hurriedly said, “I will see you off, Mr. Wade!”Rosalie walked Charlie to her room door, and Charlie said, “I can see myself out.”Rosalie nodded respectfully before she bowed deeply and said with gratitude, “Thank you, Mr. Wade!”Charlie smiled slightly and said, “Don’t worry about it.”Charlie left immediately after he had spoken.As Rosalie watched the back of Charlie’s figure walking out of her administrative area, Rosalie felt a little lost and despondent.She closed the door behind her as she murmured to herself, “Mr. Wade certainly has supernatural powers. My mother and grandfather have been
Yashita had agreed to his request. She also felt that she would have to make sure that Rosalie would be able to recruit a son-in-law who would be willing to bear their family’s last name and live-in with their family after their marriage. After all, the Harker family was also not a family to be trifled with. So, it would not be that difficult for them to recruit a son-in-law into their family.From these things, it could already be seen that the Harker family attached great importance to Rosalie. This could also explain why Rosalie had had the desire to help the Harker family rise again and regain their glory in martial arts.This was especially so after the Schulz family had tried to get rid of her when she was already down. Therefore, Rosalie had already lost all confidence and affection that she had held for the Schulz family.She had already come up with a plan in her heart. After the storm had passed and she could finally return to the Harker family, she would change her last n
Charlie left the hotel, and he rode his electric bike as he headed directly to Pearl River Point.This community had just opened, and it had recently been advertised and promoted all over Aurous Hill. Therefore, Charlie had also heard about this matter.If this was a few years back, a newly opened community would have already been sold out to crazy citizens and real estate speculators in a short time.However, the real estate brokers were not doing very well, and many new communities were also experiencing slow sales at this time. So, these developers had already begun to do everything possible to try and advertise and promote the sale of these communities.Wendy had originally planned to apply for a real estate sales job. However, the salary for this kind of position would only be given the next month. Therefore, she had no choice but to apply for a job as a temporary hostess at an etiquette company.To put it bluntly, the etiquette company was just a human intermediary company.
Wendy asked again, “Didn’t you say that it was an exclusive guarantee agreement? Aside from the exclusive collaboration with our company, what is the guarantee in the agreement for, then?”Xavia explained, “This guarantee means that you will have to guarantee that you participate and make an appearance in a minimum of twenty-eight events for the company in a month. If you fail to meet the requirements for the minimum number of events due to your own personal reasons, the company will also ask you for compensation, or the company might deduct the money from your salary directly.”Wendy continued asking, “What kind of benefits will the company be giving me if I were to sign this agreement, then?”“Benefits?” Xavia curled her lips and said, “The benefit that the company will be giving you is that as long as you follow the company’s requirements and participate in at least twenty-eight events in a month, the company will give you a basic salary of five thousand dollars.”When Wendy hea
When Wendy heard Xavia’s words, she asked in surprise, “Miss Xavia, didn’t you say that the wages for the event and the basic salary were two completely different matters?”Xavia curled her lips as she said, “Wendy, you must really be daydreaming! Let me tell you something. Mr. Lawry said that in the future, all of our hostesses would have to be paid monthly. So, starting from today, you will have to continue working hard and steadily for the company. As long as you fulfill twenty-eight events for the company every month, you will receive a basic salary of five thousand dollars on the 15th of next month!”Wendy suddenly had a very awkward and embarrassed look on her face as she said, “Miss Xavia, I should get paid two hundred dollars for each event. So, if I were to participate in twenty-eight events, I should be receiving five thousand and six hundred dollars. However, if the company is going to pay me only a monthly salary of five thousand dollars, wouldn’t that mean that I will be
While Charlie was waiting for Claire at the airport, Jacob and Elaine were taken to the traffic police station.But even in the patrol car, Elaine did not stop lashing out at Jacob.As such, the traffic police had no choice but to call up another patrol car to bring them over separately.Charlie was hence left wondering what those two were up to this time as they were nowhere to be seen when Claire's flight was about to land and weren't answering his texts.Fortunately, Charlie never considered them reliable, so he was fine whether they showed up or not.If they did, they could all head home in the same car.If they didn't, he just had to take a cab home with Claire.It was past three when Claire's private jet landed, and Claire herself cleared the checkpoint in just half an hour, wheeling a trolley with her luggage.Seeing Charlie from afar, she couldn't help quickening her pace as she beamed.Charlie hurried toward her as well, and Claire shoved her trolley aside when they w
However, to Jacob's shock, Elaine wasn't misled at all as she growled icily, "Why would I ask anyone else?! If there's someone I must question, it's Matilda! She's getting married, isn't she? Good! I will be there and ask her why she hooked up with my husband!"Jacob turned pale right then.Matilda's son and even some of their old classmates would be attending her wedding.If Elaine went, he would be exposed, and he wouldn't be able to stay in Aurous Hill out of shame!His nerves gnawing at him, Jacob could only plead, "Please, just trust me this once! Anything else aside, she's getting married, anyway—there's no way that I'd have anything to do with her! That alone should prove my innocence!"Elaine snorted. "If Matilda returned when I was arrested, it means she has been back for a while! And you're saying nothing happened since? Hell, even if she's married, it doesn't prove that she wasn't up to some hanky-panky with you! Maybe while I was arrested and refused a divorce when you
The driver was left dumbstruck—this wasn't how it was supposed to go.Still, he blurted, "C-Crashing into a Cullinan? I might end up dead instead…""Fine! Then let's change cars, and you crash into ours—how about that?!" Elaine promptly retorted before continuing, "Or we could just stand right in front of your car while you run into us! I just happen to have a death wish, but if you don't kill me now, I'll kill you! Don't think about getting away either—I know your car plate! I'll sell this car and use the money to put a bounty on your head! I don't care what happens to me now! I'll claw my nails into the devil's face even if he shows up!"The driver was actually quite experienced, but even he had yet to meet someone as ridiculous as Elaine.Barely able to keep his hands steady, he threw them up as he apologized, "I'm so sorry, ma'am—I just lost my cool. I'm merely a humble driver of a Honda Civic while you own a Rolls. Hell, I spent fifty bucks buying that red emblem from Amazon,
Elaine may have led a life as if she was above the rules, but beneath that tough exterior lay crippling insecurities and a horrific inferiority complex.She was always afraid of being belittled—but more than that, of being ostracized and betrayed.Over the years, the greatest source of her complexes could all be traced back to Matilda.After all, Matilda had been a star back in their school days. Because Elaine was a close friend of hers, many boys would get chummy with Elaine, but only because they were interested in Matilda.Being from a poor farmer's family, Elaine had been scorned plenty and therefore felt exceedingly inferior around Matilda.It was from that sense of inferiority that Elaine had inadvertently developed a one-sided rivalry against Matilda, and she believed her greatest triumph over Matilda in this life was the moment she had stolen Jacob from her.However, while Elaine presumed that she could hold that victory over Matilda's head, Lady Wilson had soured that v
Moreover, given Elaine's ridiculous temper, Jacob knew she would definitely go overboard and destroy him.He wouldn't even have a place to live at that point, and it would really be game over if she held a grudge and stormed the Calligraphy and Painting Association!Under such circumstances, he couldn't ask for a divorce—hell, he might even refuse a divorce if Elaine asked for one!However, that was when Elaine laughed coldly. "Oh, my… You're really not going to divorce me?""Come on—how long were we married?" Jacob quickly reasoned. "Getting divorced at our age? People would laugh at us."Elaine scoffed. "Now I'm curious… Matilda's quite old too, and she's a divorcee marrying again. Won't people laugh at her?""Technically, she's a widow—"Jacob blurted out, but soon turned pale, tensing up again not a second after he had just calmed down, asking gingerly, "W-Why would you suddenly mention her?'Elaine stopped pretending right then and snapped, "It's actually impressive that y
Horrified, Jacob promptly grasped the steering wheel and brought the Cullinan back under control while not hesitating to snap, "Are you crazy?! We're on the highway—that could have killed the both of us!"However, Elaine ignored him and seized the moment to open the armrest box, pulling out the large white envelope.As she opened it, she muttered, "So, it really was a wedding invitation… You really are a terrible friend, Jacob Wilson, hiding a wedding invitation like this! What's the point? Just look at that nervous face of yours—would I suspect you of having an affair with the bride-to-be?"She flipped open the card and was experienced enough to check the names first while disregarding the usual preamble. She wouldn't care about the venue or the time either, focusing solely on the professor who had somehow made Jacob very nervous.That was how Elaine found the names in less than a second: Yolden Hart and Matilda Hall.Matilda?!The name could well be knives stabbing Elaine in th
Jacob's brain blanked out, leaving only a dull hum as soon as Walker mentioned 'Professor Hall'.Already feeling nervous in the first place, he quickly said, "Okay, okay—I got it. Anyway, I'm hanging up if there's nothing else!"With that, he promptly pressed the button to hang up.Nonetheless, Elaine was soon asking in curiosity, "Who's Professor Hall?"If Jacob had any semblance of composure, he would have said 'a colleague at Senior University' as if it was perfectly natural, and the matter would have been forgotten.But the reality was that he didn't—in fact, he was the champion when it came to dropping the ball as a casual question from Elaine left him sweating all over his brow.Even as he slid nervous glances at her face, he stammered uncontrollably, "N-Nobody…"Elaine promptly noticed his strange reaction and frowned. "I'm talking about Professor Hall. What do you mean, nobody? Who are they? And what's this about an invitation? Inviting you for what?"Seeing that he was
Jacob had really had too much to drink and couldn't remember the later parts of what had happened last night—even how he had gotten home was a blur.Naturally, he also forgot that Walker had brought Matilda's wedding invitation, and therefore didn't hesitate to answer the in-car answer button.Over the phone, Walker was positively fawning as he asked, "Mr. Wilson? It's Walker. Why didn't you come in today? Had too much to drink last night?""Uh-huh," Jacob grunted, lethargic. "I did—my head still hurts now… Anyway, what's up? Trouble at the association?""No, of course not," Walker quickly said. "I was just worried you're still hungover, so I called to ask. If you need a driver or anything, you just need to ask!"Then, before Jacob could answer, he continued, "By the way, my wife is somewhat knowledgable in Oskian medicine, and she has recipes for brews that cure hangovers and nourish the liver. I'm sure you'll need the latter since you're always drinking at social events, so I as
Fortunately, Elaine and Jacob's bickering never escalated.Even though Elaine was winning, Jacob found it tolerable.After Jacob finished his lunch and cleaned up, he never looked up as he said, "Charlie sent a text, saying Claire's flight would touch down earlier at three. We will leave at two."Elaine grumbled. "Why leave so early? She's coming back from abroad, and there'd be checkpoints she has to clear—she'd be lucky if she could leave by half past three. I'm sleeping a few winks now, and we'll leave at half past two."As she left the dining room, she didn't even look back as she said, "Clean up for me too."Jacob had a million complaints but said nothing as he kept his head down, throwing Elaine's lunchbox in the trash can as well.With Elaine gone, he sat on the couch as her hangover slowly cleared while his mood soured with the lack of alcohol.In the end, the pleasure of being fawned over at the Diamond Room was but temporary—the pain of his beloved leaving with someone
