Chapter 223 The Necklace
Inside the Empyrean Hall of the Hallcester Hotel, the silence was suffocating.
Roxic, the esteemed daughter of the leader of the Hashville Martial Arts Union,
actually uttered such rude and unreasonable words!
After all, Ms. Thompson was a guest invited by the Hashville Arts Union.

As the host of this celebration, Roxie’s actions really made people sigh!
It seemed that Ms. Mellor’s upbringing was up for debate.
Glen and Domingo also exchanged confused glances, nervously looking at
Crystal, then at Roxie.
Someone intended to step forward to persuade Roxie to calm down.
However, they were well aware of Ms. Mellor's temper.
No one could stop her from doing what she wanted to do.
On ordinary days, Delbert, the old man, used to spoil him.
Back then, the daughter of a disciple of Mr. Delbert from the Hashville Martial
Arts Union.
Of a similar age to Roxie, and both were in the same school.
This girl was very beautiful, especially those eyes, they were like beautiful little
elves.
The girl was kind and exceptionally well-behaved.

Chapter 223 The Necklace
All of her classmates and teachers in the school really liked her.
She was often complimented on many occasions, especially for her beautiful
eyes.
This made Roxie, who was in the same class, extremely jealous.
One day after school, she tricked the girl into a secluded place.
The children of the regulatory elders, who often hovered around her within the
Hashville Martial Arts Union, gouged out the girl's eyes.
Upon finding out, the girl's father was almost driven mad with anger.
Given that Roxie was the daughter of the leader, they had no choice but to argue
with Delbert and Sergio.
Not only did Delbert not reprimand Roxie, but he also had Sergio severely beat
up this disciple.
And told him that as long as his granddaughter liked it, nothing else mattered!
Afterwards, there was no news from this disciple and his daughter.
What kind of result, was unknown.
After that, no one from the Hashville Martial Arts Union dared to offend Ms.
Mellor.
Over the years, there have been many such incidents.
No matter how severe the consequences were, Delbert and Sergio would step in
to quell them.
In their view, the world was originally a world of the strong, where the weak had
no say.
The Necklace
As long as it could make Roxie happy, nothing else mattered.
Domingo, worried that Roxie might do something extreme, hurriedly said, “Ms.
Thompson, you... you should give the necklace to Roxic..."
Crystal said coldly, “This was given to me by Robin, no one can take it away!”
Roxie was about to lose her temper when a magnetic voice came from behind
her, “Ms. Mellor, what's going on?"
Everyone turned around in unison, following the sound.
Rudy was gracefully walking down from the second floor towards this side.
The ferocity in Roxie’s eyes had slightly subsided.
Turning back, he smiled and nodded at Rudy. “Hello, Mr. Rudy.”
“Ms. Mellor, has something unpleasant happened?” Rudy asked, looking politely
at Crystal and then at Roxie.
Roxie pointed at the necklace around Crystal's neck and said
nonchalantly, “That necklace is mine! I asked her to give it back to me, but she
refused. Mr. Rudy, tell me, how can there be such a scoundrel in this world!”
Rudy slightly furrowed his brow, “This is Ms. Thompson, right? Let me give you a
piece of advice, since the necklace belongs to Ms. Mellor, you should return it to
her. It's just a necklace, there's no need to cause a rift over it.”
Crystal was taken aback, “Mr. Rudy, you must be mistaken. This necklace was a
gift from my friend Robin, who spent five billion at your Barrett family’s auction to
get it for me.”
Chapter 223 The Necklac
“How did it become hers now? It's really ridiculous!”
Rudy shook his head with a smile, “Ms. Thompson, what you're saying means
nothing to me.”
“All I knew was that if Ms. Mellor said the necklace was hers, then it was hers!”
No sooner had Rudy's words fallen than a low gasp echoed through the
Empyrean Hall.
“Mr. Rudy actually said these words? It really was too surprising.”
“The Barrett family, esteemed as the No. 1 archaic martial arts family, had been
established in the martial arts world for decades, always demonstrating morality
and rules to others. It was unbelievable that Mr. Rudy, the future head of the
Barrett family, would utter such unreasonable words.”
“Could it be that the legendary Mr. Rudy, who was known for his distinguished
appearance and high cultivation, actually said such irrelevant words?”
“This Ms. Mellor was even more so, the two of them...hehe.”

Roxie saw that Rudy was also speaking up for her. They shared a tacit
understanding and exchanged a smile.
Upon arriving, Israel was greatly shocked by what Rudy had said.
He hastily pulled Rudy, whispering, “Young master, this is not appropriate...”
Before he could finish speaking, Rudy nonchalantly shrugged off Israel, “Mr.
Israel, don't worry about this, it's a trivial matter.”
Chapter 221 The Necklace
With so many people present, Israel had no choice but to consider. Rudy's
dignity, and had to stand cautiously on the side.
Roxie, backed by Rudy, said coldly, “Did you hear Mr. Rudy? Take off the
necklace and give it back to me immediately! If I have to lay a hand on you, it
won't be pretty!”
Crystal gritted her teeth and scolded angrily, “Humph! This is the birthday gift
Robin gave me, I won't give it to anyone!”
Seeing Crystal's firm refusal, Rudy stepped forward and said, “Ms. Thompson,
since Roxie likes this necklace, you should give it to her!”
“This necklace was auctioned off by the Barrett family. I can transfer fifty billion to
you right now, at most. In fact, I can even give you an extra ten billion, on the
condition that you immediately give the necklace to Ms. Mellor!"
Upon hearing Rudy's words, Israel hastily pulled him again, whispering in
admonishment, “Young Master, we must not break the rules of the Barrett
family...”
Rudy glared at him and said harshly, “Mr. Israel, don’t speak!”
Israel helplessly shook his head.
Upon hearing Rudy's words, Roxie laughed in triumph.
She looked at Crystal with contempt, “Did you hear that? Mr. Rudy has already
spoken, now hurry up and return the necklace to me, otherwise, I will make you
look bad!”
“Besides, this necklace originally belonged to the Barrett family. Mr. Rudy wanted
it back and didn’t want to auction it to you. Yet, you shamelessly refused to hand
it over. Don't you think you're being utterly disgraceful?”
Chapter 223 The Necklace
Crystal sneered, saying, “One is the young master of the No. 1 archaic martial
arts family, and the other is the young lady of the largest alliance in Londraland’s
martial arts world. Both of you are young talents and the pride of the heavens,
yet you both resort to such despicable logic. It's utterly ridiculous!”
“Mr. Israel!” Crystal turned to Israel.
“Could it be that the items you, the Barrett family, auctioned off can be forcibly
returned? I want to hear your, the Barrett family’s,
explanation!”
Israel gave an awkward laugh, “I'm sorry, Ms. Thompson, the Barrett family
absolutely would not...”
Rudy glared at Israel, saying coldly, “Butler, you have no say here! I call the shots
on how the Barrett family does things!”
Israel furrowed his brow, sighed quietly to himself, and softly persuaded, “Young
Master, please don’t be willful. Every word you say represents the attitude of the
Barrett family..."
Rudy, a stark contrast to his previous gentleness, angrily rebuked, “Shut up!
You're just a butler, what right do you have to tell me what to do!”
Israel sighed and reluctantly nodded.
Turning to Crystal, he apologized, “Ms. Thompson, I'm sorry. The young master
is still young. The Barrett family will definitely give you an explanation for this
matter. You should leave here first.”
Crystal noticed that Israel was having a hard time with this matter and nodded,
“Alright, I won't stoop to their level! I shouldn't have come to this celebration of
the Hashville Martial Arts Union in the first place!”
Having said that, he turned and walked towards the outside of the
Chapter 223 The Necklace
hotel.
Seeing that Crystal was completely ignoring her words, Roxic abruptly grabbed
Crystal's sleeve.
With a “rip*, the sleeve of Crystal's white long dress was torn the way to her
armpit.

Crystal hastily clutched her torn dress, annoyed, she said, “Ms. Mellor, is this the
upbringing of a Miss from your Hashville Martial Arts Union?”
Seeing Roxie act like this, Rudy also slightly furrowed his brow.

Upon hearing Rudy's words, everyone was left speechless.
Roxie’s unreasonable behavior, forcibly snatching Crystal's necklace, had
already caused her to lose face completely.
The young talent of the Barrett, family, Rudy, was actually being so
unreasonable, even speaking up for Roxie?!
It really was a shocker!
Crystal was also shocked by the scene before her.
She glared at Rudy and said, “The Barrett family has been in the public eye for
decades, renowned and respected! I can’t believe you would say something so
disgraceful!”
“From this perspective, the Barrett family was nothing more than an empty
name!”

Everyone in the Empyrean Hall turned to look at the gloomy Rudy under the
shadow of the lamp.
This sentence was identical to what Roxie said!
At that moment, the rising star of the Barrett family, his previous demeanor of a
modest gentleman and gentle elegance, was completely gone!

Crystal gave a bitter laugh, “In your dreams! The necklace Robin gave me. I
wouldn't give it to you even if I were dead!”
Rudy heard Crystal repeatedly mention the name Robin, which seemed
somewhat familiar, as if his grandfather Travis had mentioned someone named
Robin before.
He glanced at Israel, asking in a low voice, “This name Robin sounds familiar, do
you know it?”
“My lord, Mr. Bruce is...” Israel had not finished speaking.
At that moment, an action of Roxie's greatly shocked everyone.
She stepped forward, grabbed the Cloud—Moon Necklace around Crystal's neck,
and yanked it off harshly.
Along streak of blood suddenly appeared on Crystal's fair neck.
