“There are about a hundred students here in the Martial Hall.“Teachers used not to have time for the students…“That was why we hired ten instructors to teach them.“Every instructor is an expert martial artist from a well-known family.“They are in charge of ten students each. They also do a pretty good job.“There’s no need for you to manage the Martial Hall after you take over.“With these instructors here, all you need to do is collect the money.Dillon Lee showed a pleasing look on his face.“You might not know since you haven’t seen the ledger, Sir York.“It wouldn’t be hard for the Martial Hall to earn fifteen million dollars annually.”Harvey was surprised.“You can get this much money just by teaching?”Dillon showed a proud expression.“Well, of course. The branch leader of Longmen’s Flutwell branch is teaching here. Training in this place is the same as being Longmen’s outer disciple. Anyone will look good when they enroll here.“Many wealthy heirs were willin
“Everyone! Let me have a few minutes of your time!Dillon Lee stepped forward and clapped his hands.“Please, quiet down.The instructors completely ignored Dillon and continued indulging the wealthy heirs.Some were even talking about tutoring the wealthy heirs in their homes, while others promised to be their bodyguards.The sight was just embarrassing.Dillon let out a cough.“Please, quiet down. Let me introduce all of you to someone…”“What’s the point?!”The only person not pampering the wealthy heirs was a woman with an angular face, completely surrounded by more people sitting in the middle.She had an extremely slender figure with a face as beautiful as a painting, but a bossy expression was clearly showing, making it hard for people to approach her.She glared at Dillon coldly and exclaimed, “Don’t you see that everyone’s trying to get closer to the students here?!“Why are you interrupting them?!“Didn’t I tell you that you have no say here?!“Or are you saying
Harvey York showed a profound look when he glanced at Dillon Lee.“Are you actually this inferior in the Martial Hall?”Dillon felt extremely awkward. He did not know how to reply at that moment.“Enough yapping!Layne Naiswell stared at the clock on the wall with an annoyed look.“Clean up the arena already! Remember to wipe down the equipment as well!“Class is about to start!“Are you doing it or not?! Get out of here if you’re not!”The other instructors were showing playful looks. Obviously, they would be more than willing to trample on Dillon.After all, even though they were from so-called sacred martial art training grounds, they were only outer disciples.They had no place in front of the wealthy heirs.That was why they wanted to step on someone like Dillon to show off their status.“You’re crossing the line!”Dillon could not hold back his feelings any longer. With his support standing beside him, he was planning to lash out…But at the crucial moment, Harvey w
Layne Naiswell was showing a fierce look at this moment.Though, she still looked gorgeous. She was being really harsh, but her exquisite face would make anyone want to do anything she commanded.Dillon Lee did not consider it that way at all. He was utterly insulted. He wanted to explain the situation, but he would not even dare.“What? A lackey like him isn’t sweeping the floor?”“He’s probably trying to steal some of our lessons! We were already being nice enough not to expose him…”“And yet he’s pretending to be some model when he’s supposed to sweep the floor!”“Who does he think he is?”“Does he not know that sweeping the floor comes before any lesson?”“What right does he have to learn if he can’t even do something as simple as that?”“Dillon too! He calls himself the top disciple of Longmen’s Flutwell branch, yet he can’t even teach someone how to sweep! No wonder Branch Leader Lee hired us for such a high price!”The students who changed into their clothes were also
“What?!”The crowd went dead silent.All the students were completely shocked.Even Layne Naiswell and the other instructors were in utter disbelief.Harvey York looked just like someone from the movies, casually sticking a broom into the ground just like that.What a dashing move.The students were only amateurs. They were only watching the show at this point…But the instructors were experienced. They could tell that Harvey was also the same.Many people could stick a broom to the ground, but it would be hard to control where it would land, as Harvey did precisely.Even Branch Leader Lee himself would not be able to do something like this.Harvey calmly looked at Layne before showing a faint smile.“Do you still think I’m here to steal your lessons?”“What’s the meaning of this?”Layne’s face darkened instantly. She felt her pride being trampled on…But even so, she still spoke with a horrible expression on her face.“Let me tell you something! Martial arts is all abou
Everyone showed odd looks as they stared at Harvey York.They were all curious about the new owner of the Martial Hall.Obviously, nobody knew if he had the strength to take control of the Budokan.After all, the instructors were quite hard to deal with.Harvey curiously looked around him. He could tell that the people here were harboring ulterior motives, but he could not be bothered.“Sir York, this is Instructor Naiswell, Instructor Lee, Instructor Jackson…Dillon Lee passionately introduced everyone to Harvey.“These instructors are veterans and elites of the Martial Hall. My teacher spent a lot of effort recruiting them here.”“Hello. I’m Harvey.Harvey politely greeted everyone.“Let’s work together.”As soon as Harvey was done talking, a strong and muscular man let out a cold scoff.“Why should we even work with you?“Without us, this place will be closed down in two months!”The other instructors coldly chuckled after hearing the burly man’s words. Harvey meant no
Harvey York did not mind the absurd demands, though.“Is there more?”“Of course there is!“You’re just an outsider, so you have no say in the management here!“Who we recruit and how we recruit them are all up to us!“You just come here every year to collect your dividends!“Well? Do you accept?”Dillon Lee was utterly shocked. He never expected the instructor would be this outrageous.The Martial Hall would basically be for rent if Harvey did as the instructors asked! All he could earn was just a little bit of rent money!His authority and management rights would be thrown out the window!“If you accept, we’ll keep working here!“If you don’t, we’ll quit and establish another Budokan on the opposite street!” said Layne Naiswell calmly.“We’ll give you one day! Give us your answer after that!“Now, get out of here already! Stop disrupting my class!“You won’t be able to take responsibility for this!”Harvey showed a faint smile after seeing Layne and the others banding
“Do you want my answer now?Harvey York showed a faint smile while crossing his arms.“You don’t know your place, do you?“Don’t you get it?“All you people didn’t bring up the Martial Hall! It’s the other way around!“Without you, the Martial Hall will still be one of the best Budokans in Flutwell!“And without the Martial Hall, you so-called instructors are no different than conmen!“You don’t even have morals! You talk about money every time you get a chance! All you do is pamper the wealthy heirs!“Where’s your heart for martial arts in the first place?“Go and become someone else’s private tutor if you want!“But don’t you dare try to fool the students who are actually trying to learn something here!“There’s nothing to fear if you people have nothing to hide!“Look at the students! They seem like promising talents, but look what you did to every single one of them!“They’re only good for showing off at this point!“Are you trying to tell me that you’re teaching them
"That's her, Big bro! According to my spy, he said Juliana is no longer hiding it and cheats openly! I didn't want to believe it, but from the looks of it, she's been cheating all this time!" Alexei said to Harvey. He was so upset that he almost cried.Harvey frowned. "That's all you know? What else do you have?"Alexei quickly took out his phone. "My spy has just sent me all the information. Juliana went to Lost City for further studies, and she studied well. Originally, according to the promise made, she should already be back about half a month ago so we could get married. However, she got to know this man called Hawk John at her graduation party. The two became fast friends. She even announced that they're best friends forever!"I thought they were just ordinary friends, but from the looks of it… That isn't it at all! Forget hiding it, Juliana's directly taking him back! I hate this!" Alexei slammed his chest, as if he were in a lot of pain.Harvey was speechless. "Seriou
Harvey's eyes started to twitch as he immediately gave Alexei a look. It was a call for help.Alexei shrugged. There was nothing he could do. However, it was exactly at this time that his phone suddenly started to vibrate. He gave it a weird look and picked it up. Then, he was stunned… He was practically frozen. No longer caring about anything, Alexei immediately ran over to Harvey and hugged his legs tightly. "Bro! Big bro! You have to help me! You must!"Alexei instantly started crying.Harvey promptly bent down and held Alexei's shoulder. As if he had found a way out, he said solemnly, "Don't worry, Alexei. I've always treated you like my own little brother. Your problem is also my problem. Even if the world is collapsing, I will protect you. So, stop worrying!"Alexei was so touched that he couldn't stop himself from weeping. "You're treating me so well, Big bro, even after I sold you out to my Senior…"Harvey's eyes twitched again. "We're family! What can I say? Let's
Harvey's eyes instinctively twitched. "It belongs to me, so why can't I stay here?"Vaida said worriedly, "Now that Grand City is so chaotic and the Sacred Lands are on the verge of getting into a fight, it's really dangerous if you stay outside. Both my father and I are worried about you. So… Shouldn't you move back?"Harvey led Vaida into the living room and said with a smile, "Don't overthink things, Vaida. It's exactly because things are getting unruly that I should stay in Dragon Gate Training Hall to be a stabilizing presence as their scion, right? Not to mention, I've bothered all of you too much all this time. I have too much going on. If I stay there, it will only bother the mayor, Mr. Wenzel, and Mr. Geoffrey. So, it's better if I stay at my own place."However, Harvey paused when he reached this part of the conversation. "Of course, if there's a need, all you need to do is to give me a call and I'll be there."Vaida nodded. "Harvey, other than the reason you've given us
Mandy was a little startled, then looked at Harvey with a strange look. "You're in such a rush to get rid of me? Don't tell me you really want to be the mayor's son-in-law? I've been here less than a day, and there are already plenty of people warning me about you becoming one."Harvey rolled his eyes. "Don't listen to their nonsense. If I really wanted to be his son-in-law, I wouldn't have gone to save you.""Then why are you in such a rush to send me away?"Harvey sighed. "There are really some things that are beyond my abilities. Let's use what happened this time with Clarion as an example. It's true that I let him take the glory, but after doing that, Dan now considers me an enemy and a thorn in his side. "As a member of the Top Ten Families, you have some understanding of him, don't you? Since he can't deal with me effectively, he'll definitely start with you. The reason I'm asking you to leave is for your own safety."Mandy clicked her tongue. "If Dan really wants to do
Emery slowly flipped and opened the Chapter of Ascension. The Chapter itself was old, written with small letters. Accompanied the original texts were notes and some insights.Emery only believed a portion of the rumors regarding the Chapter of Ascension. After reading through the notes and personal reflections, he could ascertain that the Chapter of Ascension was genuine.What was written inside the Chapter of Ascension was indeed capable of completely changing a martial artist's way of thinking.As he read through it, Emery was already subconsciously trying to test and start training by following what was recorded within the Chapter of Ascension. He had just started to let the energy inside of him flow, but had already noticed that his power, that reached a bottleneck for some time, started to have a breakthrough.In just an instant, Emery could already feel somewhat stronger. It was only a small amount, but it was enough to excite him. It meant that the Chapter of Ascension w
The Wright residence, Wolsing.When Janus got out of a Rolls-Royce Cullinan, it was around midnight. He looked around carefully before quickly entering a courtyard within the residence, holding a wooden box.He walked through the corridors with full familiarity and entered a study.Emery, the Number One Young Master of Wolsing, was quietly holding a piece of gemstone, brushing it against his thumb.Janus didn't run in. Instead, he waited until Emery was done looking at the gemstone before entering. "Good evening, sir."Emery raised his head and glanced at Janus. "So? Did you get it?"Janus smiled. "Is there anything in this world you want that we can't get for you?"He carefully put the small box on the coffee table and smiled."While Harvey and that idiot Hale are all quite good," he said, "they're all pawns playing to your tune. This time, with Daichi working for us and Sky Plane suffering such a huge loss, we finally have it in our hands. If those monsters from Sky Plane kne
Night fell by the time Harvey and the others returned to Grand City.Kenta had already left midway. It was obvious that he knew following Harvey and the others was pointless now.In the meantime, before returning to Grand City, Harvey had already instructed Clarion to spread the news of Origin Sword Style's extermination back to Grand City and how Earth Hall was instrumental in its destruction.By the time Clarion returned to Grand City, he was immediately enthusiastically welcomed back home. Initially, many people had an issue with him suddenly becoming the leader of Earth Hall. However, they did not expect Clarion to be able to single-handedly handle one of the main pillars of Sky Plane, the Origin Sword Style school shortly after he led the Earth Hall.While many did not know what actually transpired, Clarion and his team brought Isoroku's body back to Grand City. Taking Isoroku's body back was a great achievement on its own as it also means that Sky Plane's overall power would
Isoroku immediately crumpled on the ground. The arrogant master of the Origin Sword Style suddenly surrendered and killed himself. There was only bitterness and regret on his face, as if regretting why he did not simply stay and train in isolation. That way, he would not meet the person before him… Harvey.However, no matter how much regret he had, he needed to commit suicide.That was because he knew very well that Harvey had revealed to him his true identity. If he refused to die, Harvey would turn around and completely wipe out the Origin Sword Style. Now that he decisively made such a decision, Harvey would not return to Sky Plane.Harvey looked at Isoroku's body. With a smirk, he said, "That's why I don't like others to find out who I really am." Then, Harvey planted his foot on Isoroku's longsword. There was a loud clang, and the longsword instantly shattered. Its fragments fired in all directions.All the Origin Sword Style elites had been eradicated completely.A few minut
Isoroku's blade slashed downward. It was so fast that it was barely visible to the naked eye. However, before it could even touch Harvey's body, Isoroku suddenly saw him raise his right hand and flicked, hitting the blade when it was just starting to get close.Clang!It was an extremely simple move. However, Harvey's flick reached the blade first, and he immediately parried the attack. Isoroku's entire body shuddered, and his heart skipped a beat. He thought he was already victorious, but he was left with a shocked expression.He raised his blade and wanted to attempt another attack, but he could not do anything for a long while. Harvey was simply standing there with a calm expression. The two of them were close to each other, and Harvey looked like he was completely exposed. However, for someone like Isoroku, when someone was completely exposed, it also meant that he was not exposed at all. If he was not exposed, his blade could not slash downward at him anymore."You… You must h
