Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You Novel

Chapter 584 25 BONUS 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 platform , Tiana said flatly , That Madblade 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 explained , That man is Gordon Woods , a martial master from the northern regions .

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

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 Vince comes out of seclusion , Madblade 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 ? This complicates things .

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

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

If it comes down to it , Ill drop a billion dollars to have Gordon wiped out .

Tiana and Cedric exchanged glances , 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 his command .

Nonetheless , this was an era where wealth was often more powerful than fists .

Money could achieve what brute force could not .

A billion dollars 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 playing 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 dollars 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 dollars , 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 .
