Chapter 584  Andrew spoke calmly, Ivan has solid expertise in hard martial techniques. With his aggressive internal boxing style, he might hold his ground against that hunchback for while. But if the fight drags on, that old man will use his superior stamina to gain the upper hand hes adept at controlling internal energy flow.


    On the VIP tform, Tiana said tly, That Madde Martial Academy guy is going to suffer today. 7 Marvin chuckled.


    Not many know this, but Cedric and I are well aware of your talents, Mrs.


    Rhodes


    Youve always been a martial arts genius


    Who do you think that girl from Bridgefields is relying on? Cedric nodded thoughtfully.


    Indeed.


    Back then, you were one of Jayrodales most celebrated women.


    Even Kane from the Weller family admired you.


    Wed appreciate your insights.


    1 Tiana smiled arrogantly.


    Those days are long gone now that Im a wife and mother.


    But since you asked, Ill share what I know.


    She turned her gaze toward Gordon and exined, That man is Gordon Woods, a martial master from the northern regions.


    He had to flee south years ago after offending a powerful northern n.


    I never expected hed go into hiding with Bridgefields Stevens family all this time.


    No wonder Aspen is so confident.


    Gordon was already a senior grandmaster years ago, she continued, and by now, hes probably reached the peak of that level.


    Unless Vincees out of seclusion, Madde Martial Academy doesnt stand a chance.


    This wont end well not for Rodney, nor for that Andrew kid.


    Cedrics expression tightened.


    So thats the infamous Gordon? Thisplicates things.


    Marvin scoffed and said, I dont see any problem here.


    If he dares to mess with me, III teach him a lesson in the power of money! 11 He crossed his arms confidently.


    If ites down to it, III drop a billion dors to have Gordon wiped out


    Tiana and Cedric exchanged nces, their expressions darkening slightly.


    Marvin was not known for his physical prowess


    Unlike families like the Wellers or the Aickers, Marvin had no powerful martial artists at hismand. Nheless, this was an era where wealth was often more powerful than fists.


    Money could achieve what brute force could not.


    A billion dors would be more than enough to hire some top martial arts masters from the Gabo Creek region to take Gordon down


    Even if Gordon was strong, he would not stand a chance alone against multiple grandmasters.


    This was not Marvins first time ying the money game


    When he was starting out in Jayrodale, the head of an old noble family had constantly tried to bully him, thinking their familys martial strength could crush Marvin and seize his fortune.


    Marvin had responded by spending a billion dors to hire two senior grandmasters, who stormed the familys estate and wiped them out in one night.


    The arrogant family head was found hanging from his own front gate.


    That was the terrifying power of wealth


    You might not be able to hire the strongest martial artists on earth, but with a billion dors, you could easily get several grandmasters on your side.


    Even those martial legends who were revered by entire regions could sometimes be hired for the right price.


    Many people who believed martial arts masters were beyond reach simply did not understand one truth: they were not offering enough money.
