Alan hurriedly said, Don’t do that. Celebrities only stay popular when they’re single. Once they announce they have a girlfriend or boyfriend, or get married, their fans drop off in droves, and their career takes a huge hit.Juliet didn’t care at all. You think I actually care about some showbiz career? The Austin family isn’t as powerful as the Smith family, but if I wanted to, I could buy half the entertainment industry anytime. Why would I care about a career? I am my own career.Alan was rendered speechless.The young lady of the Austin family certainly had the means to say such a thing.China’s entertainment industry was huge overall, but it all depended on who it was compared to.For a giant family like the Austin family, worth tens of billions of dollars, they really could buy half the entertainment industry if they set their minds to it.So Alan sighed and said, Alright, alright, my lady. Go sit on the sofa and let me take your pulse.Juliet looked at him in surprise and asked

Very well, Ito Keiko nodded and stepped inside first. She knocked and asked, Excuse me, is Dr. Priscilla in?The assistant was startled to see such a stunning, graceful woman and replied politely at once, Hello, Dr. Priscilla has finished seeing patients for the day. If you need anything, please come back tomorrow.Ito Keiko said hurriedly, Please pass this along to Dr. Priscilla: there is a patient begging for his help. If he is willing to treat him and can cure him, I will pay 10 million US dollars as his fee!Anna happened to be organizing the counter and spoke up immediately upon hearing this. I’m sorry, my grandfather does not heal people for money. If you think offering more cash will move him, you may as well leave.Ito Keiko apologized at once. I’m sorry! That’s not what I meant! I only wanted to show my sincerity as much as possible. My master’s meridians are completely severed; he is little more than a living corpse now. I heard that Dr. Priscilla once cured a patient with h

Your master and I made a fair bet. Whoever wins or loses must bear the consequences. Even your master himself accepted defeat and its outcome. Yet as his disciple, you cannot accept it and come begging to me. Let me ask you: if you had lost the bet yourself, would you also act shamelessly and refuse to admit defeat?Ito Keiko blushed deeply under his scolding, not knowing what to do for a moment.Alan went on. Second fault: As a martial artist, you have a strong body but an extremely weak heart. This proves you are inherently unworthy of being a martial artist! In my eyes, a martial artist is a wolf that dares to fight, dare to charge, and fears not death. But you—even though you have the body and fangs of a wolf—are nothing but a pitiful poodle at heart!Tears burst from Ito Keiko’s eyes at these words.But Alan continued.Third fault: A martial artist should be a warrior who faces death without fear. On the battlefield, one’s head may be cut off, blood may flow, but integrity must n

However, Alan also hoped that Ito Keiko would beat her American opponent in tomorrow’s match, setting up a final showdown with Kara for the championship.In truth, this competition had been far from fair to Ito Keiko.Originally, she had been a shoo-in to win the entire tournament. But by using spiritual energy and divine pills to significantly enhance Kara’s physical fitness, Alan had transformed her into a completely new fighter—essentially snatching the gold medal right out from under Ito Keiko’s nose.Since Alan still had a good impression of Ito Keiko, he secretly hoped she would at least take home the silver medal instead.After all, this Japanese girl was utterly obsessed with martial arts and trained diligently from a young age. Even if she couldn’t claim the title, she deserved at least the runner-up spot.The next day.Juliet’s flight was scheduled to take off at 8:30 in the morning.The semi-finals of the Sanda competition, however, would start promptly at 10:00 a.m.Thus,

Mia never expected Alan to offer to help her mother look into the cosmetics. She felt utterly helpless and asked him, Honey, how come I never heard you have a friend in the cosmetics business?Alan smiled and said, Ever since I started doing feng shui consultations, my social circle has grown wider and wider. Otherwise, how would I have met Berger, the CEO of True Yuan Pharmaceuticals? If I hadn’t known Berger, you wouldn’t have had the chance to have dinner with a big star like Juliet, right?Mia nodded slightly and sighed, It’s better not to owe people favors if we can help it. That caviar anti-aging cosmetics set costs over a hundred thousand yuan. It’s really too extravagant for a family like ours; it’s not necessary.Ava panicked and quickly said, Sweetheart! What do you mean it’s not necessary? My good son-in-law Alan already said he’d get it for me. Don’t talk nonsense here!She then turned to Alan with a beaming smile and said, Alan! Mom’s old face depends entirely on you. Oth
