Mike blew out a cloud of thick smoke. He feigned surprise and exclaimed, “Miss Xavier! Are you telling me that your mother is missing?”“She’s a bigwig from the Smith family. If she truly went missing, you should’ve reported it to the police!”“I’m afraid it’s not right for you to come to me about her disappearance. After all, my shop deals with Chinese herbal medicine. It’s not a private detective agency, right?”There was a burst of mocking laughter from all around after these words were said.Yvonne said coldly, “Mike, is it necessary for you to speak that way?”“Whether my mother is in the Seifudo Building or not, you know best.”“You should hand her over before I lose my temper. Then, we’re clear!”“If you don’t, I’ll report you to the police. By then, everything would be too late!”Yvonne took out her phone as she spoke. She pressed three numbers, getting ready to dial it at any time, her face cold. Mike shrugged his shoulders at this display. He said indifferently, “If
Yvonne was indifferent. “Harvey could handle this himself. He doesn’t need anyone’s help.”“Doesn’t need…?!”“You’re being absurd!”“Harvey’s just an outsider! What could he handle?”“Just wait! He’d get beaten to death!”Hazel was infuriated. She had long forgotten how both her and Harvey’s families had known each other for generations.Even if Harvey was beaten to death at this moment, it had nothing to do with her.Yvonne didn’t speak. Instead, she just looked at Harvey with slight worry.She couldn’t understand what Harvey was trying to do. Could he save her mother by just making a random move in Seifudo?Yvonne had always trusted Harvey, but she was also a little puzzled by his current actions.“Stop! You actually act outside the law in broad daylight!”An inspector took out the short-handle firearm from his waist, about to give a warning shot. However, Harvey grabbed the firearm the moment the inspector took it out.“Go!”A group of gangsters rushed out at this very
One of the big bosses from the streets of Mordu was standing with red and swollen cheeks. His face had become hideous and distorted.A group of onlooking girls was all in a trance.So arrogant and domineering!They hadn’t seen such a man in a long time.He was reckless even when facing a powerful man like Mike Taylor. This was a true man!When an ordinary man encountered such a situation, the stronger ones would say good things and make use of a backer, mainly to protect his reputation.Weaker ones would mostly kneel immediately and were eager to beg for mercy.Thus, such a man was very rare in the world!Although Hazel was also shocked, she was clearly rather unhappy in her heart.She felt that Garry should be only the one who could suppress the crowd like this.What right did a country bumpkin like Harvey have to act pretentiously and steal the limelight?“Harvey! If you keep acting like this, you’ll be messing around with Mike and the Mordu Police!”“Could you bear such
Arrogant!Domineering!Crazy!Ruthless!Calm down!Various thoughts ran in Mike’s mind. His breathing quickened, and his chest fluctuated up and down rapidly.However, he didn’t dare to continue provoking Harvey, no matter what.He felt extremely aggrieved.If all three thousand disciples of Seifudo really took action, he was convinced that he would have many ways to end Harvey.Yet here he was, held hostage by Harvey. with a firearm against his forehead. He couldn’t use any of his skills or flaunt his power at all. He was so upset, he almost vomited blood.If he, a famed tyrant of the streets of Mordu ended up dying in the hands of a nobody, then he wouldn’t feel at ease even if he did come back as a ghost.Harvey sighed and said indifferently, “I’m an impatient person. I’ll give you another three seconds. If you refuse to let Mrs. Smith go, then I’ll end you now.”Yvonne was slightly startled at how the events were unfolding.She understood that Harvey’s purpose of comin
Inside the Mordu Central Police Station, the interrogation room.Harvey watched the news report on television nonchalantly.The news reported a horrible kidnapping incident that took place in the afternoon. Seifudo, an organization that appeared decent and upright on the surface, was actually involved in the kidnapping of a young lady from the renowned Smiths, one of the top ten rated families in Mordu!The kidnapper’s identity remained unknown, but Seifudo’s premises had been completely seized by the authorities.The mastermind, Mike, was also thrown behind bars.As Harvey continued watching the report, he took a leisurely sip of his tea.He threw a smile at Otis Kye, who was standing next to him. “I’ll leave it up to you again, Chief Inspector Kye.”Otis chuckled bitterly in response.“Not at all. You’ve done a great deed in standing up for what’s right and rescuing Lady Smith.”“On top of what you’ve done before, I really must request a commendation for you.”“But if you’r
“Your seemingly reckless acts have actually guaranteed Lady Smith’s safety. At the same time, your enemy has one less way of keeping you in check.”“Calling it a masterful plan isn’t very far-fetched, is it?”Harvey smiled, but did not give any straight answers. “You’re too kind.”“Other than that, I do suspect you have another goal in mind…” Otis continued to say.“Oh?”Harvey was curious as to how much Otis had deducted.“Sir York, I think you’re acting rashly on purpose to confuse the mastermind behind this incident.”“If this incident led the enemy into misjudging your true character, then they will expose their flaws once they take action against you. A small discrepancy can lead to a great error, after all.”“At least, from your perspective, everything that happened today went just as you planned. Am I correct?”Otis’s face was filled with deep admiration, as if he had seen through Harvey’s plans.Once again, Harvey smiled without giving Otis any response. “As expec
Garry frowned slightly, silent. It was true that he gave his cousin Kristan a call. He also said publicly that he would lend Harvey a hand.Despite all that, he didn’t expect Harvey to come out of detainment so soon.Garry did not speak at the moment. He was sizing up Harvey, trying to figure out what trick Harvey had up his sleeve.“Are you alright, CEO York?”Yvonne let out a huge sigh.After the incident had come to pass, Michelle was now showing Harvey a look of deep regret. “Oh, Harvey. I’ve completely misunderstood you before! I must give you my sincerest thanks for what you did today.”Harvey nodded and smiled.“It’s no big deal, really. Since the situation’s escalated to this point, I don’t think anyone dares cause you trouble for the time being.”“I promise, you’ll be able to go back to the Smith family without any worries.”At Harvey’s words, Michelle froze and fell silent.However, the influencers tagging along Hazel exploded in rage.“What’s with that attitud
Hazel saw Yvonne excusing herself, and concluded that it was because Yvonne was annoyed by Harvey. With that thought in mind, Hazel shot Harvey a disdainful glare and sneered sarcastically, “Did you hear that, Sir York?”“This is the last time! Young Master Duncan won’t stand up for you anymore!”“Let me warn you about something. The Malone family got in a lot of trouble because of you!”“You best pack your things and get out of Mordu right now! Don’t ever show up in front of my family again!”“Why did my dad even call a poor relative like you here all the way from Buckwood?! Ugh, I really regret it now! ”“This whole time, you’ve been trying to go for me, someone way out of your league!”Hazel screamed in disbelief, utter disgust written all over her face. Her posse of influencers followed her lead and glared at Harvey, their faces filled with scorn and mockery.Harvey narrowed his eyes. He was ready to give Garry’s face a painful slap.Right at this moment, Hazel’s phone su
"I'll give you ten minutes to walk out of there without your clothes on! If you do that, I won't kill anymore of your bodyguards. If you're still not here in ten minutes, then I'm sorry, but the flames will consume you. I'll remember to visit you at your grave next year!" Sora laughed strangely after that.Everyone who heard his laughter could only feel a chill in their bones as they felt disgusted. Mandy's expression became even darker. She did not refuse him immediately, though. While she knew he was playing a game of cat and mouse, those ten minutes might just be enough to save them.-At the same time. Outside of the manor. Sora and his group of confidantes had already arrived at the entrance of the manor. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the terrace. After he waved his hands, his confidante spread out and sealed the remaining entrances.Next to Sora was a swordsman with a mustache. His eyes were full of spirit. It was obvious that he was an elite, the kind who could crush al
"Watch out!" It was at this time when Seven suddenly pulled Mandy over to the side, as his expression darkened. At the same time, one of the pieces of ballistic glass shook and fell on the floor. Then, bolts that seemed like rain stormed into the terrace, falling right where Mandy was standing.If it was not because of Seven's quick actions, Mandy might have already become a human pincushion. She was immediately covered in cold sweat. While she had personally grown and become a successful businesswoman, she had never been in many of these kinds of life and death situations.Whoosh!It was as if the people outside had noticed an opening, they continuously fired the Repeating Crossbow. As they did that, one of the bodyguards who could not dodge in time collapsed on the ground as he held his thigh. A bolt pierced through his thigh, and he immediately lost his ability to fight.Mandy quickly said, "Quick! Drag him over! It's too dangerous over there!"The two bodyguards trembled, and
"Ms. Mandy, you should run now! Run from the back! I can still hold them up for about 15 minutes!" Seven said in a bitter voice as he peeked outside from the door's gap from inside the manor. "If you don't, we won't be able to escape once they rush in. We're almost out of ammo. If we don't fight our way out, we'll all end up dead!"Mandy hesitated a little when she saw how Seven was becoming somewhat concerned and said, "Sure. We'll leave from the back door. But they're here for me. I can't escape. All of you should go and I'll cover you!"Mandy's expression was resolute. Seven was slightly stunned before saying, "Don't joke about something like that, Ms. Mandy. While I'm not one of your followers, but as a bodyguard of the Jeans of Mor'du, there's no way I can escape before you have safely retreated. If I do that, not only will I be unable to face the family, but I also won't be able to face myself and stay in this world!"All the bodyguards exchanged looks and said, "That's right,
The young man in the white suit was not that old. He was at least in his mid-twenties. However, his cheeks were somewhat red. It was obvious that years of excessive drinking and womanizing have left him too depleted for anything to be able to help him. But even then, he still looked in front with greed and obsession, as if wanting to push the woman in the manor to the ground and tear her apart.It was obvious that this man was the scion of the Origin Sword Style, Sora Yamamoto.Sora did not think much about the death of the Origin Sword Style elites. He did not even feel much about their death, as if their death had nothing to do with him."Sir, it's not that the woman is strong. It's the simple fact that no one expected her to have the Royal Flush with her… And she has plenty of it too. From the results of us testing her, the woman isn't saving the Royal Flush for something else when she had her bodyguards use them. I suspect that she had an unlimited supply of it.""You idiot!" S
"Too weak," Harvey sighed. In the next instant, he lifted his right foot and planted it on a broken piece of rock. Instantly, the rock shot out and headed straight to Sverker's throat. It was obvious that Harvey did not wish to leave the Origin Sword Style's number one elite alive."You fool…!" Sverker's entire soul was shuddering as he could feel Death coming for him. He let out a roar and all the energy within his body started to flow, wanting to use that to stop Harvey's attack. However, his thoughts were faster than he could act.The moment he wanted to fight back, he could feel the taste of blood in his mouth. The small rock had already pierced through his throat. In that instant, Sverker's thoughts instantly stopped as he lost the strength to struggle. Then, he collapsed on the ground just like that.There was anger, despair, and even doubt in his eyes.He could not believe that as an elite of the Origin Sword Style, as one of the few most powerful men in Sky Plane, how he en
When the palm strike was going to reach Sverker, Harvey changed his palm strike into a finger strike. He flicked his finger at the edge of the blade.Clank!"Gah!"Sverker seemed shocked as his body shook. There was even blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. He was in a terrible state as he took a few steps back."Mr. Sverker!" All the women cried out at the same time, with shocked expressions. They could not believe that not only did Harvey manage to easily block the legendary Three Slashes, but most importantly he was able to force Sverker some distance back with just the flick of his finger!He was beyond terrifying!"Damn you, kid! Do you think this is my full power?" Sverker's temper was at boiling point after the continuous failures as he gritted his teeth. "I will send you to Hell with all three slashes fused into one!""I better be the one sending you to Hell. I'm already bored with your sword technique," replied Harvey casually. Before Sverker could even attack,
"Your life is worth so little and you want to drag us along to hell? Who do you think you are? All of you are just the same! Selfish to the core!" the woman yelled at Harvey. It was clear that no matter what Harvey did, she wouldn't like it.Harvey glanced at her and said, "We can forget a moment about how your Mr. Sverker is the one who wanted to die alongside me out of shame and anger, let's talk about you. Who else can you blame but yourself by wasting time here instead of running? Not to mention, he can't do anything to me even if he can slash time and the universe."You have overestimated Sverker. He's nothing but trash. I simply wanted to see how powerful the Sword Style Origin's technique is." Harvey then gave Sverker a look. "But at this level, I can easily dispel it with just one strike.""You…" Sverker was so angry that he shuddered. He wasn't going to waste any more time. He gritted his teeth and once again slashed at where Harvey was standing."Timely Slash!"A
"Is that right?" Harvey asked the woman.He looked at Sverker's dark expression."Oh, he's being that nice? Why not give me a few more concessions? Why don't you go easy on me and miss all three slashes?""Damn you! Damn you all!" Sverker's expression turned dark by Harvey's snickering. He pounced forward again. In just an instant, he already appeared before Harvey. His body suddenly swayed and separated into eight afterimages; all of them instantly slashed from all eight directions."Earthly Slash!"Whoosh!As Sverker made that attack, a screeching sound filled the entire marsh. Sverker attacked Harvey like a flash of lightning. The moment the blade almost reached Harvey, a dreadful aura expanded from it, as if a black light was covering the surface of the blade.The attack seemed to have come from the depths of Hell itself, carrying the wrath of countless ghosts.Harvey's expression was cold as his fist turned into a palm strike, and he attacked straight ahead. His attack w
"Idiot!" Sverker smiled coldly as his figure flashed as he pounced forth like a bolt of lightning. The sword in his hand was immediately pulled out from its sheath, like a shooting star across the sky.Compared to the attack just now, this attack was simply and much more direct. There wasn't even much strength behind it. However, those in the know would know that an attack like this was the most powerful.Sverker believed he could easily kill Harvey on the spot."So what if you defeated all the six schools? So what if you defeated all the prodigies from Country I? So what if you defeated Mark?" Sverker smiled coldly as he attacked. "All the so-called True Warriors were joking to me… Because I am the one who kills True Warriors!" Sverker smiled coldly as he unleashed his first strike."Heavenly Slash!" A scarlet light suddenly flashed through Sverker's blade. Harvey raised his head; the attack that was going to split the sky had arrived. Before the blade even reached h
