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 , Ill teach him a lesson in the power of money ! 11 He crossed his arms confidently .


    If ites down to it , Ill 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 .
