    Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1719


    Her voice trailed softer. At that, Jory panicked and thought that she was upset. He quicklyforted,


    “But look! You still managed a firm grip on my arm. I can’t move, see?”


    Nancy patted his shoulder. She spoke earnestly at first before her voice started to bubble jovially, “So


    that means… I won this sparring match!”


    There was no way Jory would admit defeat before a mere girl, so he swatted off Nancy’s hand from his


    shoulder. “What do you mean? I was technically the first to pin you down. No matter how you look at it,


    we’re evenly tied for this match.”


    A wide grin spread across Nancy’s cheeks. She then roared out inughter, “Just kidding! No need to


    take my words seriously. You shouldn’t be so petty.”


    Jory pointed at himself in disbelief. “I’m petty? Are you kidding me? If I was petty, then why would I let


    you start first? How ungrateful!”


    Nancy had already stood up and was holding her clothes. “I’ve gotta admit that I’m impressed. Your


    ability to react is much faster than mine. But then again, we have to consider that I haven’t practiced in


    a long time. Also, there’s a natural disparity between men’s and women’s strengths. It just can’t be


    helped…”


    Thatst bit sounded like she was reminding herself. However, her words rang true to Jory. He agreed


    that the difference between men’s and women’s strengths was an important factor in winning sparring


    matches. Some men packed a powerful punch and weren’t afraid of pain; they could easily stand a


    couple of blows from a woman, whereas a woman might end up being thrown over the men’s


    shoulders. In such situations, it didn’t matter how agile or good a woman’s moves were because they


    wouldn’t even get the chance to show their skills.


    This was obviously the way things worked in Taekwondo. Yet, it also seemed applicable to the


    unspoken rules within themercial field; it was impossible to defeat thergerpanies with big


    businesses and abundant funds. No matter how hard anyone tried, they could never single-handedly


    win against those bigpanies.


    Even if they resorted to dirty tricks to take down thosergepanies, their efforts would go to waste.


    This was because thosepanies were deep-pocketed and quick to recover.


    In such situations, the obvious n of action was to attack the enemy from its roots. Just like if an


    extremely powerful Taekwondo athlete suffers from acute gastroenteritis before a match, then all his


    strength would be pointless in a game.


    When Jory first faced the powerful and established Norton Corporation, he knew better than to attack

    them head-on. This was not only because it would lead to destructive results, but Alpire Group would


    also be adversely affected. Alpire Group would have a difficult time operating in the business realm


    should his attack fail.


    Hence, he subtly usedputer systems—something he was most familiar with—to find a suitable


    opportunity for his attack on Norton Corporation. He also manipted Gabrie and pulled many


    unexpected stunts to dissolve Norton Corporation.


    To some extent, Jory even took advantage of his father and Alpire Group—thepany that currently


    belonged to his father. Ever since they got into a conflict, his dad had no intentions of making him


    Alpire Group’s heir. But no matter how silent Jory was about the matter, he knew that he was his dad’s


    only son; Alpire Group would still be his regardless of how unbing, worthless, or absurd he


    was.


    It was the same as ancient, regal families where blood and kin triumphed over all other factors. A


    prince would still retain his title no matter how unworthy he was. Likewise, nothing would stand in the


    way of him inheriting the throne.


    What’s more, the previously idle and phnderer version of Jory had died along with his failed marriage


    contract. The Jory at that moment had a purpose in life, so how could he end up ipetent or left


    with nothing?


    Jory’s father actually knew that Jory was the mastermind who used Alpire Group’s name to acquire


    Norton Corporation. However, Jory’s father wasn’t bothered about it. He thought that as long as there


    were profits and shares to be earned, then why not? Whenever anyone asked, he would say that his


    son was behind it. This conveniently changed the frivolous and yboy image that others had for Jory.


    The sparring match that day allowed Nancy to know Jory better. Initially, she had her doubts on


    whether the rumors about him were true. However, she couldn’t see the resemnce between him and


    the hedonistic ck-sheep-of-the-family reputation he had.
