Once he finished wrapping the bandages on his hand, Dario Moore made his move and lunged forward. He charged in with incredible speed, comparable to that of a skilled sprinter bursting through a hundred-meter dash. Harvey pressed his left foot firmly on the ground, using the momentum to push his body as he too leapt towards Dario.The audience watched the fight unfold with bated breath.In the VIP room, Shane Naiswell smiled. Rosalie Naiswell was beside herself with nerves. Liam Stone’s earlier grinning face was now replaced by a somber look. The two fighters collided, both highly skilled in their own right. For Dario, this was his first time clashing against an evenly matched opponent since he joined the gym.Such a match was naturally exciting to watch.Jab!Two fists slammed against one another in the same heartbeat. A flurry of punches clashed in rapid succession. There were no fancy moves, only the furious exchange of raw blows.A piercing pain struck Harvey as his right
“Not bad. This Dario Moore’s punch has the quality of the boxing world champion.” Shane Naiswell rubbed his beard. “The power in that punch alone should weigh about a thousand pounds.” “You have good eyes, Mr. Naiswell.” Liam Stone said fawningly. “His punch would’ve easily broken the bones of your average person. They’d be lying in hospital for half a month! This b*stard’s pretty gutsy, he actually went and used his arms to defend against Dario’s attack. If I’m right, both his arms should be broken by now!”Liam was confident, but in the next second his expression changed. In the ring, Harvey York was gradually unfolding his arms. Although he was trembling, it was obvious that his arms were not broken.Dismay coloured Liam’s face. His lips curved into an annoyed frown at Harvey’s unharmed state.Shane said nonchalantly, “Mr. Stone, it looks like your judgment was wrong. This man has exceeded both of our expectations. In no way can his position counter the amount of power forced o
“You’ve lost,” Harvey York said casually. Although Dario Moore was not knocked out and was still conscious, it was clear that he was the loser in the fight.Dario’s strongest move could not force Harvey into backing for even half a step, whereas Harvey’s attack had forced Dario to retreat for three whole steps. The difference in skills was as clear as day.Dario fell into a slump. He immediately turned and said to the referee, “I’ve lost. I won’t take the money for this match.”The referee went deathly pale. Did Dario just admit his loss? In the entire gym, who else can defend against that b*stard who had barged in to spread chaos?Harvey’s face relaxed. Shaking his hands, he said, “Do you have any more people stronger than him? If there’s none, tell Liam Stone to come to me.”“Why, you…!” The corner of the referee’s eyes twitched. This b*stard was way too cocky. However, he had his ways of being arrogant too.Crash!In the VIP room, Liam rose abruptly. The crystal glass in his
Liam Stone waved his hands. One of his men who was carrying a steel rod behind him spoke. “Boss, there was once someone who came to our boxing gym with a streak of ten consecutive wins. He thought he had earned a huge sum of money, but he didn’t understand one basic principle. That principle was, it’s difficult to use two hands to defeat four hands. That so-called victor could not handle all of us and got beaten to a pulp. He knew then how ‘awesome’ he really was!”“You heard that? I admit, you’re pretty skilled to be able to force Dario Moore to retreat. You’re also pretty great since you could make Tyson Woods stand behind you.” Liam snickered coldly. “Problem is, you’re both on my turf now. Is this the time to act cocky?” Harvey York couldn’t be bothered to beat around the bush and asked directly, “I heard that you’re backing the Brooke family and are making life difficult for us?”Liam furrowed his brows. He chuckled, “Brother, do you need to start a big war just for the sake o
Liam Stone clapped. The TV in the match hall switched on and displayed Shane and Rosalie Naiswell, both tied firmly to their chairs. Shane’s voice was inaudible, and his head was bleeding profusely. It seemed he had been hit by the steel pipes Liam’s underlings were carrying.“Mr. Naiswell is the senior of the Naiswell family. You dare touch him?” Harvey looked at the TV in disbelief. Wasn’t Liam acting too outrageously? Didn’t he know what kind of man Shane was? If he offended Shane, the entire Naiswell family could swoop in and kill him with ease.“Why wouldn’t I? Not only am I going to kill him, I’m also going to take that woman to my bed. When I’ve had enough of her, I’ll get my men to dump her in an alley somewhere. Who’d know that I’m the culprit?” Liam laughed coldly. “I’m giving you a choice. If you want them to stay alive, surrender. If you don’t, I’ll make you watch them die. That woman is your lover, isn’t she?”Liam continued to laugh, feeling deeply confident.Harvey d
“Sir, maybe he wants to make you a live-in son-in-law too. I heard his sister-in-law is stunningly beautiful.” One of Liam’s underlings remarked, laughing. “She’s still in middle school, too!” Liam Stone’s face crumpled in mock fear. “That won’t do, will it? I’ve been a thug for so many years. If I follow this worthless piece of trash and be a live-in son-in-law like him, I’ll lose my reputation for sure!”“Boss, I heard that he even helps to prepare water for his mother-in-law to wash her feet.” Another underling said. “He hasn’t even touched his wife’s hands in the three years of his marriage!” “Tsk, tsk, tsk. How marvelous. I admit, I’m shaking in my boots!” Liam clicked his tongue in astonishment. “I want to ask you a serious question, Harvey York. Do you still call yourself a man? Why don’t you pull down your pants and check if your junior is still there? You’re trash! Is there still any meaning to your life?” Harvey was too lazy to offer any rebuttal. He jumped down from t
“E-Everything’s fine…” Rosalie Naiswell saw that the man who charged in was none other than Harvey York. Surprise and delight filled her. However, she quickly regained her composure. With red-rimmed eyes, she stammered, “I’m fine, but Grandpa, he…”Harvey fled to Shane Naiswell’s side and placed his finger under Shane’s nose. His face crumpled. “Quick, we have to bring him to a hospital. He should be able to make it…”Harvey carried Shane in his arms and dashed out. Rosalie, panicked, trailed after him from behind.“Tyson Woods. From this day on, there is no Liam Stone in Niumhi. Don’t disappoint me…”Harvey ordered before he left.Tyson’s whole body shuddered at the order. He had just made a call earlier, and he understood clearly what Harvey meant. It seemed tonight would bring a big change to the streets of Niumhi. From this day forth, Liam Stone would cease to exist.Tyson entered the VIP room, respect written all over his face. Liam Stone, initially an arrogant and dominee
A man making a huge ruckus when he should be asking the hospital for help. This was the first time everyone had seen a sight like this.At this moment, everyone looked at Harvey York like he was a madman. “What are you doing?! Guards! Call the guards, this man is causing a lot of trouble. Force him out!”The nurse was obviously afraid. But after looking closer at the shabby clothing that Harvey was wearing, she glared at him full of disdain. ‘What is a man wearing stall bought clothes even doing here? Who is he trying to scare?’“Yeah! Do you think a hospital is a place where you can just shout whenever you want?!”“We know you’re in a rush, if you’re hurrying then go register at the counter! And what’s wrong with your family anyway, only you showed up for a matter this big. Are you willing to take responsibility if anything bad were to happen?”“We save lives and help the weak, yes of course but who isn’t panicking in the emergency room? First thing comes first and payment co
It was obvious that Hale's anger and sorrow had pushed him to the limit. He was already blaming Sky Plane for everything. Sky Plane had just earned him as a mortal enemy."My condolences, Hale." Harvey extended his hand and tapped Hale's shoulder. "The dead can't be brought back, so the most important thing now is to recover. Sky Plane is a difficult enemy."Clarion nodded as well. "Now that Susan is dead, Sky Plane will not let this slide. However, we'll need to get you a new identity after you recover. Only when you're safe and when you can live for yourself will you have the chance to have your revenge."I've just received news that everyone in Grand City knows who you are. All the other Sacred Lands will find out very quickly. In a short while, there will be countless people looking for you, for us. That's why you need to get ready. We're running out of time."When Clarion said that, the frigid light in his eyes glinted. He didn't need to send anyone to find out what was go
"No matter what happened, she treated me well all these years. Even if I were to kill her, I want her to die with some dignity. As for the trouble from Sky Plan and her… I'll give you an explanation you'll be happy with. Please permit me," Hale said, not caring for the wounds on his body even when he was kneeling on the floor.Clarion looked stern. If he were to bring in a spy like Susan, it would help him immensely in his career. If they got her into the interrogation room and asked her proper questions, they could get valuable answers from her. That was the only value she had left.However, Clarion also knew why Hale framed it that way. She was still his wife, even when she had already betrayed him. Rather than letting someone like Clarion take her away right now and live a torturous life that she wouldn't be able to tell day by night, he'd prefer to kill her right now. That way, Susan would be able to die peacefully.But how should he choose? Clarion was having a headache rig
Hale's expression was one of shock.Susan was the same.Hale didn't expect Sky Plane's plan to be so vicious. They wanted the Chapter of Ascension and to use the chance to plunge Grand City into chaos.Susan was shocked about how accurate Harvey's guesswork was. If it wasn't because she knew that someone like him would never have a connection with Sky Plane, she would even think that he might have a hand in setting up the trap that looked like it was simply a string of coincidences.Otherwise, how would he have known everything in such detail?Clarion looked at Harvey with more admiration. While he looked like just an ordinary man, whether his power or perception was far beyond them.Hale slowly closed his eyes, forcing himself to calm down for a long time.Then, he turned and looked at Susan and muttered, "Now that we have reached this juncture, I don't think that there should be any more secrets between you and I. Just one question. Did everything happen exactly as Mr. Harvey
"Or maybe, in your subconscious, you do realize that something isn't right. Maybe you simply feel that it's better for her not to know about some things. That way, things will be safer for her," Harvey said with a shrug. "However, the truth is that she didn't get anything from you at all until yesterday, isn't it?"Hale nodded. "You're right. I did have some doubts about her in my mind, that's why I did tell her everything except the Chapter of Ascension."Hale seemed to reminisce about something else before giving a painful smile. "And then, as time passed by, I no longer suspected her. But I'm worried that it'll get her killed, so I chose not to say anything. I believed that as long as I said nothing, we'll be able to live a peaceful life! No one expects that in the end…"Hale signed, looking hopeless when he said that.However, Susan simply smiled icily. "Stop your crocodile tears, Hale. You never trusted me, so stop saying that you love me!"Hale smiled bitterly. He didn't w
Clarion was stunned when he saw Mrs. Hoffman was still trying to argue her way out."Even the way you argue is the same as the Origin Ninjas. Seriously?" Harvey smirked. "Right, I heard that the Origin Ninjas would leave the mark of a petal on the most private spot so that it was easier for them to identify each other. You must have seen it, right, Mr. Hoffman? Of course, I believe she'd definitely say it was just a tattoo that she had while she was in her youth."Unfortunately, I believe that Grand City has plenty of records. It should be quite easy for us to find the evidence we need. That's why, Mrs. Hoffman… Is there really a need to deny it anymore now that we've reached this point?"Mrs. Hoffman shuddered a little. She didn't expect that Harvey would be able to easily see through all her disguise. Most importantly, he even knew about the most damning evidence on her. In a situation like this, continuing with the argument really was pointless."You… You…!"At the same tim
Harvey said calmly, "You smell like one of them."Whoosh!Before Harvey could finish, Mrs. Hoffman immediately pounced at him. In midair, she waved her hand and threw a string of knives.All her blades were blue in color. They looked very pretty, but if they scratched one's skin, one could easily lose their lives if they weren't sent to the hospital immediately.Clarion was shocked when he saw what was unfolding. It was obvious he didn't expect Harvey's words to help them identify Mrs. Hoffman's real identity and forced her to attack.Still, that was quite normal. Thinking back about it, Mrs. Hoffman's calmness during this whole ordeal showed that she was not a normal woman.The power she suddenly showed was within their expectation, and they could understand it too.However, this exact revelation was making things more painful for Hale. It hurt him even more than finding out that his beloved wife sold him out. Clank! Clank! Clank!Harvey pulled up a small fruit knife and thr
Harvey's expression became cold as he watched Mrs. Hoffman. He was completely done with her.Mrs. Hoffman bit her lip and stared at Hale for a long time. "You're right! The one who sold you out is me. I sold your identity to other people, too. I'm also the one that almost got you killed. When I heard about the Chapter of Ascension in the morning, I was also the one who sent the message!"Hale's expression was one of bitterness and grief. He gritted his teeth and asked coldly, "Why?""Why?" Mrs. Hoffman scoffed, a hint of disdain on her face. "Why do you think I did this? Fine, I'll tell you. It's easy—after marrying you for so many years, I've never had a life of peace! We're either living in the streets or hiding! I didn't ask for a wealthy life. I just want a normal and peaceful life like any other ordinary woman! But I can't see us ever having that life! "If that's the case, why can't I gamble everything away? Why can't I sell you in exchange for wealth so I can have an e
Hale let out a bitter cry with a sorrowful expression. How could anyone expose that the person who slept next to them would be the one to stab them in the back?Hale whispered, "I simply didn't want that person to be you. You have been with me for so many years and have suffered so much. I've already treated you as my only family. If family like you betrayed me, it would do nothing but make me suffer."That was why I arranged such a test. I was hoping that Mr. Harvey would betray me once he knew who I really was and that I really did have the Chapter of Ascension. That way, I could continue executing my plans in peace."I didn't expect him to be completely uninterested in the Chapter of Ascension. Instead, you were the one who betrayed me again. It also meant that the one who turned me to Camellia and let her trace me was you…"Harvey didn't pin any blame on Hale after hearing what had happened. After giving it a thought, he said, "Normally speaking, we've just met for the first
"You… Hale! How…" Mrs. Hoffman crawled back up, her mind going black for a moment. She quickly pulled out her phone, about to make a call. Because she was too nervous, she kept on pressing the wrong numbers. She couldn't make that call.Harvey didn't say anything as he looked at this scene calmly.Meanwhile, Hale's expression began to change. There was a hint of sorrow in his eyes as he looked at the woman he loved. "Honey… Don't tell me that despite Mr. Harvey having no interest in the Chapter of Ascension, you let someone else get it instead? In short, you're the one that betrayed me… And has been betraying me…"A tear of blood formed from the corner of Hale's eyes as he spoke.Mrs. Hoffman, who was still trying to make that call, shuddered as she turned and looked at the man whom she had accompanied for many years.At the same time, someone pushed open the door. It was Clarion. He quickly walked into the room and leaned in next to Harvey, whispering, "Something happened
