Chapter 3567
The crowd was completely dumbstruck after hearing about the fees.
Everyone went dead silent after they were yelling at Wilbur Lee earlier.
Many people would be unable to accumulate this much money even after working for an entire year!
Some even had the faintest idea of just how many zeroes were in those numbers!
Even if Harvey York’s performance were extraordinary, they would not want to spend that much money to be enrolled anyway.
Wilbur thought he was totally done for before he heard the enrollment fees were so high.
“At the end of the day, your Martial Hall is no better than the People’s Budokan! This place is basically free at this point!” exclaimed Wilbur before coldly chuckling.
“At this point, that’s just daylight robbery!
“You think you can mark up your price just because you saved Young Master John?!
“The Martial Hall’s fees were expensive before, but they weren’t that expensive!
“You’re price gouging here!
“You’re shameless!”
The people with no money to be enrolled were starting to have opinions about Harvey.
Obviously, they thought that Harvey was not giving them a fair chance.
“Do you think I’m raising the price because I want to?” asked Harvey.
“Do you think I’m not giving you a chance?”
“Yeah!”
The people were enraged.
“You’re just looking down on us poor people!”
“You only work for money?”
“Is that what you think?
“Fine! Then, I’ll add another condition!
“If you can prove to me that you’re a top talent, not only will I not keep a single dime of your money, I’ll even start paying you for it!
Everyone went dead silent.
They were all looking at each other. Many of them really wanted to learn, but they knew that they were no top talents at all.
Harvey pointed at Aldo John.
“All of you saw what happened to Young Master John.
“He’s quite talented at figuring out the Rising Heat Fist all on his own.
“But do you know why he went berserk?
Everyone felt curious. Even Aldo was listening intently.
“He’s too stingy.
“Since ancient times, the poor focused on literature while the rich focused on martial arts. This isn’t just because of privilege.
“Training martial arts and swordsmanship requires a lot of stamina and spirit.
“These things need to be replenished every so often.
“For example, people who train in martial arts will always have Yarsha–gumbas, giant swiftlets, and fish gelatin by their side.
“If not, they’ll become weaker over time and end up like Young Master John.
“Simply put, if Young Master John wasn’t that stingy in the first place, he wouldn’t have ended up like this.”
The crowd immediately understood after hearing Harvey’s explanation.
‘Is Young Master John really this poor?‘
“You’re right. It’s not because I’m poor. I never liked to eat things like those. My family would always prepare them, but I’d always just throw them out…
“I didn’t think that…”
Everyone felt speechless after hearing Aldo’s words. They did not expect that he would humble–brag like this.
But after that, all of them understood that learning martial arts was not just about courage and willpower.
Harvey’s fees were expensive, but that was the right way to treat the students.
Compared to him, Wilbur was just killing people!
