“Besides, the last fight was just us playing with you.“I only needed to buy some time…”Fierce footsteps echoed from outside at this moment!Murderous intent was seeping inside!About a hundred men with firearms flooded in, completely surrounding the hall skillfully.Benjamin Lynch, Zeke Smith, Otis Kye, and other government officials were forced outside.Even Benjamin’s expression changed slightly after seeing such a sight.Nobody thought that there would be such a turn of events that day.The shooters had utterly suppressed the entire place!Numbers like this were simply terrifying!“How dare you?!”As the government of Mordu’s second-in-command and a member of the Smith family, Zeke could not just stand idly by and watch the show.He took a step forward and furiously glared at Alec Cloude.“What does the Little Dwelling want with us, Alec?!” exclaimed Zeke coldly.An evil smile leaked out of the corners of Alec’s mouth.“I have brought Yin and Yang, thirty killers, a
“Every single one of my shooters has at least a hundred bullets in their firearms. If they pulled the trigger at the same time, how many of you do you think can actually survive?”The crowd’s expression frantically changed after hearing those words.Chief Leonard Bray, who was seated at the main table, stood up and coldly exclaimed, “Stop trying to show off already!“Government officials, people from top families, and big characters from the underworld are all here today, Alec Cloude!“Would you even dare to offend so many people at the same time?!“Does the Little Dwelling have a death wish or something?!”Bang!Alec did not waste time speaking and waved his right hand. A shooter then pointed his firearm right toward Chief Leonard and pulled the trigger without the slightest hesitation.Pfft!Chief Leonard’s left arm was instantly pierced. His face had completely lost color while showing a horrible expression.It wasn’t that Chief Leonard couldn’t dodge the shot, but he didn
After hearing those words, Hazel Malone and the others let out a puff of laughter.The old man was still looking for a live-in son-in-law even at that moment!Harvey York was utterly speechless. He already had a wife. If word spread about Jaden Smith asking him to be the family’s live-in son-in-law, there was no way Harvey would be able to give a statement.Harvey immediately shook his head.“Senior Smith, let’s talk about it later.“Let’s deal with tonight’s problem first.”Jaden smiled brightly.“Yvonne Xavier’s problem is a big one, and other matters are only trivial.“Forget it. Since you young people have such thick skin, we’ll discuss about this after dealing with tonight’s problem then.”Jaden glanced at Alec Cloude, who was standing not too far from him.“Boy from the Cloude family. You knew that I’m hosting a birthday banquet tonight, yet you brought a coffin here to disrespect me,” said Jaden calmly.“Have you thought of the consequences?”Alec froze slightly afte
“Didn’t the old man have high hopes for you?”“Make your move. If you break his neck and throw his corpse into the coffin, I promise I won’t kill you. How’s that?”“If you don’t comply, I’ll order my men to shoot you on the spot!”“Don’t dream of dodging. If you do, I’ll kill the others first!”So saying, Alec Cloude raised his hand and made a simple gesture. The following second, all of his men aimed their firearms at Harvey.The safety was unlocked, and all of them were ready to shoot for the kill.At this gruesome scene, the faces of the guests in the banquet paled instantly. Many were aware of how ruthless and cruel Alec Cloude could be. Should Harvey try to dodge the incoming bullets, they would be the ones paying the price with their lives! Benjamin and his men frowned, discontent with the way things were going. None of them could guarantee if Jaden Smith’s influence was enough to suppress and deter Alec. However, one thing was for sure. Once the guns were fired, th
Alec’s gunmen laid their fingers on the trigger, ready to pull it. Just then, Harvey’s gaze casually swept over them. They froze, devastated and frightened, so much that they were unable to move their fingers. At that moment, Rachel took the opportunity to dash forward as fast as she could. Her speed was blinding.In the world of martial arts, speed defines the winner.Her attack seemed to have spanned across the world in an instant, attracting everyone’s attention.Slap!Her hard slap landed crisply on Alec’s face.The impact sent Alec flying in the air. His body fell and smashed onto the Mount Tai Stone at the further end of the hall entrance.Crimson gushed out of his nose and mouth like a gory waterfall, and his neck was twisted in a horrible fashion. No one could determine whether he was alive or dead…Rachel marched forward and trampled Alec’s head with her foot unhesitatingly.Her expression was calm and relaxed, as if she was simply stepping on a dying ant rather t
Trisha ignored the hundreds of people in the crowd and walked closer to Jaden.With each step, the temperature in the hall dropped by a few degrees. When she was about less than ten yards away from Jaden, the hall was as cold as winter.Several guards of the Smith family instinctively wanted to stop her, but before they managed to get close, daggers flew out and pierced their throats. They clutched their throats, shocked and appalled, before crumpling to the ground. Harvey frowned. He could see that the current Trisha was much stronger than when she was at the pier.She must have concealed her true prowess deliberately then.She was ranked one of the top three on the killer list. Seeing her skills right now, that was indeed a well-deserved reputation.Harvey took out his phone to send a message. He stopped Rachel before she was about to march forward and battle Trisha. He said to Trisha in a nonchalant tone, “Madame Cloude certainly deserves the praise. With such skills, even
“Rubbish!”Trisha’s expression could freeze even the North Pole. She waved her hand once more, and a ray of silver light shone between her fingers. They were pieces made of silver sand, and their shine instantly blinded the ten masters.A strange scent spread out and filled the air. It was highly potent and corrosive, and the guests subconsciously backed away in an attempt to avoid it. The ten masters pounced on Trisha, but the next moment, they froze. Their bodies convulsed, and all of a sudden, blood gushed out of their every pore. Within seconds, all of them crumbled and lay unconscious on the ground. They were the great masters as well as the true direct descendants of the Smith family, but none of them stood a chance against Trisha’s overpowering skills. Terrifying!Trisha’s strength could only be summed up with one word: terrifying.Harvey took a few steps back, his movement so subtle that no one took notice. He shielded Yvonne behind him, and narrowed his eyes at Tris
“You didn’t eat any?!”Trisha was astonished, but quickly regained her composure.“That’s fine too. Since you’re not crippled, I’ll do the honor of chopping your hands and feet with my own hands. The effect will be the same regardless.”Jaden smiled lightly. “I’m afraid getting my hands and feet won’t be as easy as you think.”“Let’s see. Do you think the gunmen you’re relying so heavily on are as obedient as you think?”So saying, Jaden snapped his fingers. As the crisp sound of his snapping fingers rang, the gunmen initially under Alec’s employ, who had aimed their firearms at the crowd, turned to aim at Trisha. In just one move, Trisha’s escape routes were all blocked. She had no way out.Trisha was shocked, and her expression turned for the worst. A moment of contemplation later, she sneered icily, “Nice one, Jaden! Great work, Terry!”“I didn’t expect you to join forces with your son and deceive me.”Jaden smiled, unperturbed. “I did set you up. The same can’t be said abou
Blade frowned and said nothing when he heard Harvey's teasing. Not far away came the sound of spotlights being turned on. Giant spotlights immediately focused on their location from all around them, turning the place as bright as day. The Enforcer Division who just got out of the car narrowed their eyes, trying to adjust to the light."You're smart, and you're quite perceptive as well." At this time, one of the doors on the giant stone gate from not far away slid open, and dozens of figures appeared. The one leading them was a woman wearing a traditional garb, a fan in her hand.She looked like a seductress. Her eyes were filled with charm, and even just a glance from her was quite seductive. All the men and women behind her were wearing uniforms, bearing a stern expression. "Unfortunately, smart people normally don't last long here," the woman continued with a smile. Harvey shrugged. "I haven't asked you what this place is yet."The woman kept smiling. "Our place was quite
The atmosphere within the car fell into absolute silence. Blade extended his head and opened the sunroof, allowing the fresh air to enter the car. He took in the fresh air, but no one could tell his thoughts.Harvey smiled as he once again closed his eyes and rested. To him, the destination for this journey meant nothing.Very quickly, the car drove until night. During this journey, the car stopped three times. They would always rest, have a meal, and get a toilet break at a temporary supply base that had been established beforehand. Blade had maintained his silence and said nothing.As for Harvey, it was life as usual for him. He would eat when he was supposed to and sleep when he had time to. It was so that everyone could maintain their energy.Harvey even took a hot shower in one of the supply bases and got to wash his clothes. The members of the Enforcement Division that kept watch over him looked at him strangely. It was obvious it was their first time meeting a criminal lik
Blade was slightly stunned when he heard it and took in a deep breath, as if he was suppressing something he was feeling. Then, he said slowly, "The Grand City is also called the Grand City that Didn't Belong to the World. Those from the Grand City had been called many names. Wizards, alchemists, immortals… In a place like ours, we have rules and laws coming from bygone eras. After existing for so long, people from our city understand that only by following these rules and laws will we be able to protect the Grand City."Harvey smiled. "So, to you, even if you know the order you're going to execute is wrong, you'll still do it no matter the cost, right?""It's easy for one person to make a mistake," Blade said. "It's even easier for someone to make a mistake when one speculates. This is an order that was made based on the rules and regulations. The chances of it being a mistake are very low…"Even if I have some thoughts, I'd rather do as I'm ordered by Grand City. As for whether
Half an hour later, Harvey got into the back seat of a Range Rover after he packed a few sets of clothes. During this time, not only did he have to console Yvonne not to do something rash, but he also had to arrange for something else. He even had the time to order some pasta through delivery.While he still didn't know what Grand City had prepared for him, he knew that he should get ready. He had to give it his all this time. Grand City was not an opponent he could simply ignore.Once he was in the Range Rover, Harvey took the best seat that once belonged to Blade. He even adjusted the seat so he could sleep for a while.The next morning, Harvey woke up and downed a mouthful of carbonated water. He rubbed his eyes and looked around him from the car window. The car was already driving through an ancient forest. But because the car's performance was just that excellent, he felt like he had been driving on flat land.After taking a look, Harvey looked at Blade next to him. Blade's
"It's alright, Yvonne. Don't get mad. If you get angry because of something like this, then you've lost," Harvey said as he shook his head. He stopped Yvonne, who was on the verge of exploding."The people from Grand City have a way of doing things due to how they believe that they're better than everyone else. Not following their laws would ruin their reputation, so I'll go with them," Harvey said as he narrowed his eyes.He knew very well that this was a plot against him. It wasn't just about Durandal's death, it was also because he had offended Dan. The day Harvey became the representative, someone had already plotted against him. For everyone's sake, Harvey decided to make a move.While he wasn't afraid of Grand City, it didn't mean that everyone else wasn't fearless of Grand City either."Don't be rash…" Yvonne said, shivering. Harvey patted her hand a while and then looked at Blade's cold expression with great interest. "I can tell that you're not someone who lies and y
"Firearms?" Blade smiled coldly when he saw this, and looked at Yvonne with a sneer. "There's something you probably didn't know, girl. All of my followers here are martial arts elites, and they're wearing the silk armor that Grand City produced. This armor makes them untouchable by blades or the elements. If you don't do anything rash, it's fine. But if you do, your men will die. Here's my advice. Don't get all of them killed just because of one person."And then, he commanded coldly, "Do it."Eighteen elites from the Enforcement Division took a step forward when they heard his command, looking calm."I don't believe that you're not afraid of a gun!" Yvonne grabbed a gun and pointed it at Blade.However, Blade didn't react even when faced with Yvonne's madness. He simply walked over to her, held the gun in her hand, and then pointed it at his forehead. "Come on. If you don't believe it, give it a try. Pull the trigger and see if you can kill me."Yvonne's eyes widened when
"You are as well-spoken as they claim, Mr. Representative," Blade said coldly. "I wish he didn't die, since I watched him grow up. However, the fact is, he's dead. We have enough evidence to prove that you caused it. So, let's not waste our time and come with us. This is better for all of us."Yvonne's expression darkened. "Blade, is it? I don't care who you are, but my boss never lies. If he said that he didn't kill that man, then this has nothing to do with him. Don't pin the blame on someone innocent!"Blade looked at Harvey icily. "We wish that he could be innocent too. If that's the case, that's an even better reason for you to come with us. Since he's being suspected, he should come to prove his innocence at the very least."Yvonne snapped, "You think very highly of yourself! You can make anyone the suspect because you say so? You can take anyone with you because you want to? Do you know that he's also the representative of the Country H Martial Arts Alliance? In some way, he'
The security guards at the entrance finally reacted to what was happening. They started to call for reinforcements when they saw Yvonne's sportscar was stopped.The range rovers' doors were kicked open, and dozens of men and women clad in traditional Country H's garbs got out. The one leading them was a square-jawed man with a deep scar on his face. It was obvious he had survived a terrible battle against death once.He ignored all the security guards and quickly approached Harvey and Yvonne."Stop them!" Yvonne called out. She pushed the door open and got out of the car. "Who are you? What do you want?"The security guards from Sky Corporation quickly ran over. Dozens of people had started to gather around Harvey. In terms of numbers, they were finally able at an equal level.In truth, anyone from the other side should be able to easily defeat the bodyguards from Sky Corporation. Harvey, who knew this very clearly, also opened the door and walked to Yvonne's side. He looked at th
After Harvey was done with the Ninth Branch and sent Mandy home, he left. Mandy had shown him that she cared, but there were a lot of problems between them. They didn't even have to look for it—Lilian's existence alone was a constant thorn in their eyes. Unless Lilian chose to stop being a problem, Harvey had no interest in becoming the Zimmer family's son-in-law again. After leaving the Zimmer family, Harvey wasn't in a rush to go home. Instead, he went to Sky Corporation's HQ. He was surprised to see that the light in the CEO's office was still lit.Harvey arrived at the door and saw a beautiful woman still working quietly at the desk. He had just wanted to go in before hearing Yvonne's voice. It sounded like she was on a call. "Investigate it. We have to investigate this no matter what! Even if he's not going to ask about it right now, we still have to do it. What will happen if Mr. York wants to blame someone?"After that, Yvonne hung up."What happened?" Harvey asked as h
