Harvey pursed his lips, annoyed. Unfortunately, he could only swallow his frustration and open the car door for the two.“Aunty Lowe, please enter the car.”The opened door revealed a luxurious interior.Lucie and Nicolas’ eyes brightened at the sight, as though they were looking at an extravagant garden.The moment they entered the car, they whipped out their phones and clicked away, taking dozens of snapshots to show off in their friend groups. They were also sly enough to block Lilian and her family members from seeing their posts.Through the corner of his eye, Harvey saw Nicolas’ texts. The contents left him speechless. “The harder you work, the luckier you get. My first Toyota Alphard. Two hundred and thirty thousand dollars well spent.”As soon as Nicolas uploaded the pictures to his friend group, likes immediately flooded in.Not long after, he received a voicemail from someone with a profile picture depicting a young woman whose beautiful voice was obviously a result
Lucie joined in and shouted at Harvey alongside her son.“Exactly! Why’s a driver like you nagging at my boy?!”“Are you the one in charge of the car?”“You didn’t buy it anyway! What’s wrong with letting my son play with it for a while?!”“Besides, you’re only allowed to drive a car like this because of us!”“Without us, people like you are destined to ride on bicycles your whole life!”“Enough yapping! Stop the car!”Lucie and Nicolas were very confident in their argument, unaware of how ridiculous they sounded. To them, they were being perfectly reasonable.Harvey was losing his patience. He was ready to throw the two fools out of the car when a loud explosion not far ahead grabbed his attention. He spun around to look. All around him, people were panicking.Harvey rolled down the car window and stuck his head. He saw a Lamborghini stuck on the bridge’s railing and was hanging precariously from it. It could fall into the river at any time.“Miss! Miss! Are you alright?!”
Harvey ignored the mother and son and rushed to the front of the crowd. He squinted as he studied his surroundings, particularly the hanging Lamborghini.The Lamborghini’s engine was already beginning to burn up. Those who stood around the car dared not take even one step further. Even the woman’s butler and bodyguards did not have the courage to act.Forget saving their mistress, they might even lose their lives in the process.Harvey analyzed the situation, trying to come up with a plan. He deduced that the woman could only be saved after prying the car door open and taking off the seat belt, though all these had to be done in the shortest amount of time possible.In fact, the entire process had to be done within at most three seconds. If not, the person trying to help would get dragged into the river as well. In the worst case scenario, the Lamborghini would explode immediately after crashing into the river. Under such circumstances, there would be zero chance of the woman sur
Daniel soon came to his senses. He pondered for a while before saying, “Butler Thompson, I think you can clearly tell what’s going on in front of you.”“I assure you, Butler Thompson. There is only one solution. We must push the car into the river to stop it from exploding.” “Even so, doing that carries an extremely high risk. If your lady happened to be very unlucky, the car might explode the moment it enters the river, or if it suddenly suffers a hydraulic shock. Both circumstances can be deadly for her!”“That’s why you, as her butler, must decide if we’re going to save her or otherwise!”Daniel was keen enough to take advantage of the situation. Knowing that he would be in hot water should anything wrong happen, he quickly shifted the responsibility to Butler Thompson.If Daniel was victorious in saving the esteemed lady, then he could hog all the credit and glory. On the contrary, if he failed and the lady ended up dying in the process, the responsibility would fall on But
“I don’t know what kind of expert you are, but don’t you know that what you’re doing is extremely risky?” Harvey challenged, trying to control his temper. Daniel’s plan was nothing short of outrageous! “The only way is to pry open the car door right now and take off the seat belt as quick as possible, and then get Ms. Thompson out.”“But all that must be done in a span of three seconds!”“If the rescuer fails, he’ll get dragged into the river along with her!”“If you really are the expert you claim to be, you should be able to tell that this is the only way!”“The only way?”Listening to Harvey’s explanation, Daniel knew that Harvey’s way had some chance of succeeding, even if it may be a slim one.But a true man would not stand behind a collapsing wall. Daniel knew that this rescue attempt would affect his reputation. He refused to carry out Harvey’s plan. “From how I see it, your so-called ‘only way’ doesn’t even have a chance of succeeding unless you give up your life!”
To make things worse, they saw Harvey as someone who tried to gamble on a woman’s life for his own benefit!‘There’s actually someone who dares to toy with Ms. Thompson’s life! He must have a death wish!’Several beautiful women present were unable to hide their disgust. They glared daggers at Harvey, their faces twisted in scorn and contempt.‘This liar’s really overestimating himself! He’s actually trying to steal the limelight from a safety management expert!’“Even if you do follow his plan, he shouldn’t simply push the car bare-handed. Humans have static electricity in their bodies. There’s a possibility that he might ignite the tank once he touches the car…”Harvey reminded kindly, determined to press on. He really did not want to see the woman dying in vain.“Stop nagging, young man!” Before Harvey could even finish, Butler Thompson immediately cut him off and stopped him.“If you keep stopping us from saving Ms. Thompson, we’ll have to force our hand!”Upon Butler Tho
The crowd was in an uproar, and everyone was losing their heads from sheer terror.Nobody imagined that things would escalate to this point.To say the situation was dire would be an understatement. Ms. Thompson could die at any minute!On top of it all, she had just woken up. To see herself falling to her death was nothing short of pure torment. “Think of something already!” Butler Thompson yelled desperately, grabbing Daniel’s collar forcefully.Daniel, however, was drenched in his own tears. The proud man from before was reduced to a pathetic crying wreck.“It’s hopeless! There’s no saving her!”“Call the firefighters! Hurry! Call them now!”“She’s going to die! You have to hurry!”Daniel almost passed out, crushed by the pressure. Because Butler Thompson was ready to take responsibility if he failed, he felt that he could shift the blame to the old man. Unfortunately for Daniel, nothing went as planned. The Thompson family from Wolsing was one of the top ten families
“Get out of the way! The car might explode again!”“Stay away from the car! Don’t get caught in the explosion!”It took only ten seconds for Harvey to emerge from the crowd. He stood before everyone as he yelled several warnings. “Someone lend me a pair of gloves!”A person from the crowd threw a pair of rubber gloves to the ground. Harvey did not hesitate and grabbed them quickly. He put them on both hands and dashed to the exploding Lamborghini.The crowd watched him and breathed a collective sigh of relief. Compared to Daniel, who was just showing off, they could tell that Harvey really was trying to save Ms. Thompson. Even in the most dire of situations, he did not panic and kept a cool head.“He’s not scared at all when facing danger. Now that’s a true professional—a true expert!”“Be careful, Mr. Expert!”“Stop trying to fawn on him already! Think of a way to move your cars away! The fire brigade’s about to be here!”“...”Harvey completely ignored the crowd, uncarin
"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
