“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
The students were in an uproar. They thought they were making much progress with their martial arts. That was why they admired Layne Naiswell and the others.But after Harvey York pointed out two of the students’ problems with ease, they were all showing odd looks when they looked at the instructors.They also did not think that the students were merely play acting.The people who could enroll in a place like this all belonged to wealthy families. Everyone here knew each other quite well.They would not start role-playing for a little bit of money.“I don’t know which one of you idiots got the students to train in a place like this!” exclaimed Harvey.“This place is extremely humid! Practicing here for a long time will only increase the body’s moisture!“There might not be anything obvious happening right now, but the students might just get inflammations in every part of their bodies!“How do you think they’re supposed to train after that? How are they supposed to spar?“At t
"While Country H is said to have existed for so many years, the people can be quite narrow-minded. They'll act all arrogant because they have a bit of talent. Not only that, but they also refuse to accept the rest of the civilized world. There's no need to get angry with these people," Juliana said to Hawk's men, her tone filled with concern."All of them say they love their country, but the truth is that they'll leave for greener pastures as soon as opportunities present themselves. Despite agreeing with your values, I'm still part of this country. I wish I could really be part of you!" Juliana said, envy and disappointment on her face.Hawk and the others smiled when they saw Juliana's attitude. If most of the people from Country H acted like this, their cultural victory would be assured. At this point, all of them smiled widely and abandoned whatever upset feelings they had from just now.-About ten minutes later, Harvey took Alexei back to the Dragon Gate Training Hall. Va
When Juliana and the others saw Harvey and Alexei leave, all of them could only grit their teeth in anger despite being genuinely surprised. They didn't expect Harvey's call to be enough to remove Hawk's status as a Knight Templar with one call. His quick action had humiliated Hawk and his men.Normally speaking, they would never believe that Harvey would be able to do such a thing. They didn't expect that reality could be so cruel to the point that it was choking them. Harvey was so influential that they found themselves struggling to breathe."Calm down, Hawk. Don't feel down. I don't think that what happened is real," Juliana said as she subconsciously consoled Hawk. "His reputation is built on boasts. He doesn't understand just how powerful your culture is! There's no way he can affect the powerful Knights Templar."I suspect he's working with someone else and got a fake number, so that he could intimidate and trick you! In other words, you can't let this confuse you! Even i
Harvey narrowed his eyes and said calmly to Hawk, "If you're really that powerful, you won't be wearing that expression when you see me."The so-called top from their side would not only treat him with respect, but they would also get the hell out of there as fast as possible.However, Hawk didn't understand what Harvey was trying to convey. He smiled coldly and said, "You don't understand what the Knight Templars mean, do you? Before this name, even dragons and beasts must fall! And when it comes to someone like you… The moment I showed you my identity, you won't even have the privilege to bend your knee!"Harvey refuted calmly, "If you're really that influential, won't it humiliate you completely if I can make you bend your knee with one call?"Hawk's expression turned brutal. "Oh? You're going to make a move? Come on, then! Show me just how good you really are!"Harvey nodded and pulled out his phone as he looked at Hawk. "Since you asked for it, I guess I have no choice but
Harvey scoffed. He couldn't be bothered by wasting his breath speaking to someone like Juliana, who obviously had been hit on the head. Instead, he turned to Alexei. "I'm leaving now. You either leave with me, or you can stay here and be a simp. But remember—if you stay as her simp, don't appear in front of me again. A man who has no pride and a backbone doesn't have the right to stand in front of me."Hearing that, there was a hint of hesitation on Alexei's face.When Juliana saw that Harvey didn't agree to her demand and even changed the subject, she smiled coldly. "If you have a death wish, then I'll grant it to you. I won't pull my punches from here on out. And you, Alexei. You can try and leave with him… As long as you can bear the consequences of that!"Alexei's expression was filled with even more hesitation. In the end, he gritted his teeth and left together with Harvey.Juliana's smile turned icy when she saw what had happened. "Good, Alexei! You'll regret this! From n
"I'm sorry! It's all my fault! My entire fault! I shouldn't have forced you!" Alexei said, lowering his head dejectedly. Seeing this, Juliana walked over and extended her hand, raising Alexei's chin. She said coldly, "It's good that you know you're making a mistake. Now, Hawk and I will need to get some rest at the hotel. We'll also be going to a charity ball later. Since we're very busy, we don't have the time to pay for our meal. Remember to pay for it and our presidential suite as well. Understand?"While Juliana looked down at Alexei, she didn't mind making Alexei pay for everything. From her perspective, it was a matter of course.When Alexei heard it, he still nodded despite the dark expression on his face.He wanted to take his wallet out, but Harvey quickly stopped Alexei and took his wallet instead. "If you have the money for a woman, why don't you come with me and eat something at the nearby stall? Don't waste your life and time on a woman like this."Harvey dragged A
After Alexei heard what Harvey had to say, his expression was filled with hesitation. It was obvious that he did have feelings for Juliana. However, there was also fear. He didn't know what he should do.He was afraid that Juliana might really abandon him. At the same time, he was really afraid that Juliana was cheating. Alexei felt like he was stuck between a rock and a hard place."Alexei? Why are you here?" At this time, a cold and arrogant voice could be heard. "Are you here to ambush me? So that you can annoy me?"Harvey instinctively turned around and saw Juliana and Hawk walking out from the restaurant hand-in-hand like a wealthy couple. Behind them were their secretaries, lawyers, and bodyguards. They looked like important people; on the other hand, Alexei looked like a beggar by the street.Alexei quickly ran over, forcing himself to smile despite being upset. "I heard you're back, Juliana, so I came over to pick you up. You must be tired now. I've arranged for a pre
"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
