Yashita's words hit Holden directly where it hurt.
Holden understood his eldest son's virtue and character better than anyone else.
Holden had already discovered that his eldest son had lost his ultimate pursuit of martial arts as early as twenty years ago.
It was not only that, but his eldest son had also become obsessed with material enjoyment.
In Yuvin’s own words, he had already endured twenty t o thirty years of martial arts training, and it was already time for him to enjoy life. Those martial arts celebrities and action stars also endured hardships when they were young before they began to reach the pinnacle of their life at their middle-age. 2
There were even many martial arts celebrities who had become a billionaire at the age of thirty and based on their personal condition, there was also an obvious rapid decline which was also visible to the naked eye. I t was obvious at first glance that they had been training less and less. 3
They were training less and less, but their life was getting better and better.
They worked hard to star in a movie at the age of seventeen or eighteen years old, only to make a few hundred dollars worth of salary. But by the time they were thirty years old, they could easily make up to tens of millions of dollars or even more simply by making a casual appearance or showing off a few fancy and impractical kicks and punches.
This also stimulated Yuvin deeply.
He felt that since those martial arts celebrities, who only practiced some external martial arts techniques, could achieve wealth and glory, why couldn't he be the same as them when he was someone who had been training martial arts for twenty to thirty years?
It was also from that time that Yuvin's cultivation base had become almost stagnant.
Still, the martial arts path was extremely difficult in the first place, and it could not be compared to those fancy and impractical moves.
Holden knew that although his eldest son had a greater advantage in his cultivation base over the ordinary people if he truly wanted to make a living in the martial arts path, his cultivation base was indeed almost meaningless.
Later, her strength had plummeted greatly when she had lost her right arm in order to protect Sheldon.
Although Yashita's cultivation base was higher as compared to Yuvin, after losing her arm, her true combat ability had become much weaker than his.
Moreover, Holden also knew very well that even if he was not biased and did not have the mindset where h e valued male descendants more as compared to female descendants, it would still be very difficult for the entire Harker family to accept a woman as the head of the family. It'd be even more difficult for them to accept a disabled woman as the head of their family. So, Holden felt that there were no other candidates that he could consider for the position as the head of the family aside from Yuvin.
But now, Yashita's words made him realize a very important point.
His eldest son had indeed not been the slightest bit interested in martial arts throughout all these years. S o, even if Holden were to give Yuvin the remaining divine pill, it might not have many positive effects on him at all.
Besides, even if he was willing to hand the entire Harker family into the hands of his eldest son, Yuvin, i n the future, he might not necessarily be able to wholeheartedly develop the Harker family for the better. 10
