In spite of the increasingly violent crowd, Peyton still remained calm.“I wanted to at least pay everyone some respect, so that none of you embarrass yourselves.”“But since you’re so hellbent on law and justice, so be it. I’ll play your game.”“Six months ago, Shindan Way’s Sakura Miyamoto from the Island Nation commanded an onmyoji, Griffin Young, to curse my family’s ancestral hall. She also tried to kill my granddaughter, Talia.”“The Shindan Way’s finest sword, Taro, as well as Griffin, has already confessed to their crime. We have both the evidence and testimonies to prove this.”“Another thing. Hector of the Thompson family has ordered Sakura to assassinate Sir Harvey York multiple times. Naturally, these have all been proven to be true.”“In accordance with the rules of Dragon Cell, we won’t take Hector away before we acquire solid evidence.”“Sakura Miyamoto, on the other hand, has to come with us.”“This is the justice you want us to give you. So, Miss Thompson. Are
As Alice looked at Harvey, rage and fear filled her heart. She then saw Tyson and Rachel shooting amused looks at her, and her anger exploded. “Harvey York!”Alice gritted her teeth, furious.“You’re just relying on Senior Horan after doing him a small favor!”“If you just use your abilities, do you really think you can beat me?”Harvey was already making his leave, but Alice’s words piqued his interest. He stopped midway and turned back to her. “Are you telling me that you’re not satisfied with the verdict?”“That’s right! I’m not!”Alice was clenching her teeth so hard, she almost broke her tooth.“If you’re not satisfied, I’ll crush you until you are.”Harvey casually threw his phone to the ground and kicked it to Alice.“I’ll give you a chance to call anyone. Call to your heart’s content.”“If you manage to scare me off with your trump card, I’ll leave Sakura with you.”“Go on. Call someone!”“You asked for it yourself, after all!”Alice swiftly dialed a number, st
“Master Lynch?”Harvey chuckled softly.“Ooh, I’m so scared!”“How about we change it up a little? This time, I’ll make the call for you.”Without even giving Alice a chance to respond, Harvey grabbed the phone and immediately dialed a number. He also turned on the speaker so that everyone could hear the phone conversation.A man’s carefree tone was then heard from the other side.“Brother York, why are you calling me during this time?”“I’m still having a meeting at Wolsing. If you need anything from me, just get Yona to do it in my place.”‘Brother?!’At this moment, Alice’s expression was at its worst.“It’s not much, Master Lynch. I just wanted to ask you something.”“A woman named Alice Thompson was planning to get you to crush me.”“Would you actually help her?”“Crush you? Alice?”Benjamin froze slightly at this, startled.“Brother York, she’s just someone from the Thompson family. Who gave her permission to say something like that?”“Besides, she knows the conse
Alice, who belonged to one of the top ten families that countless people wanted to cling to, was now kneeling in front of Harvey like a dog as she begged for his forgiveness.Bang!Harvey sent Alice rolling along the ground with a kick. He patted his hands together, and then turned to the crowd surrounding him.“Nobody minds if I take these two Islanders away, right?”The crowd was dead silent. Nobody dared to jump out and argue with Harvey again.If they compared numbers, Harvey had dozens of people standing behind him.If they compared skill, Harvey was skilled enough to the point he had completely crippled Master Fatal.If they compared strength, Peyton showed up with his men the instant Harvey called.If they compared the level of influence, even Alice Thompson was forced to beg for mercy…It was safe to say that Alice and Cheryl had completely lost on every level!Sakura was filled with despair. She knew that there was no hope in relying on anyone from Country H to save
The seductive look on Sakura’s face vanished instantly.“Sir York. No, Head Coach York,” she said quietly.“This isn’t a battlefield, nor is it a life-or-death situation. Even if it is, as adults, shouldn’t we be a little more mature?”“For us, we only see interests rather than enemies. Am I wrong?” “My death wouldn’t benefit you either, would it?”Harvey kept munching on his kebab while taking great gulps of beer. The smile on his face never faded all this while.“On the contrary, it does.”“For instance, you know my actual identity.”“One of the most important reasons why you haven’t exposed my identity yet is because you wanted to sell this secret of mine to the Emperor of the Island Nations, all so that you can get a promotion!”“If the Island Nations were to mobilize troops against Country H, we’ll be forced to stay passive since my identity has been exposed.”“Am I wrong?”Sakura’s expression changed frantically. She gritted her teeth, infuriated.“Sir York! I swear
“How dare you!”“People like you aren’t allowed to insult my sensei!”“He didn’t show up because he was seeking to enhance his martial arts to a higher level!”“If he were to actually fight, as the sovereign of Shindan Way, he could’ve cut you in half with a single slash!”Sakura laughed maniacally as she pointed aggressively at Harvey. None of her mannerisms showed that she was a prisoner. She had forgotten her place.Slap!Harvey slapped Sakura across the face, not bothered to say anything in reply.Sakura screamed in pain as her body flung away from the impact. She landed on the deck with a loud bang, blood gushing out of her mouth. “Are you really going to defy me, Harvey?”“Aren’t you scared of my sensei going after you?”Sakura was boiling with rage.“Don’t you realize that you’re no match for him at all?!”Slap!Harvey swung his palm across Sakura’s face once more.“Sakura Miyamoto, are all Islanders as brain-dead as you?” Harvey asked calmly.“You’re about to di
“Let me warn you! Listen closely…”“I am the sovereign of Shindan Way and one of the Six Sword Saints of Island Nations, Akio Yashiro!”“Sakura is my last disciple! If you dare hurt her, I’ll slaughter your entire family!”“I don’t care who you are or what identity you have. I order you to let her go without making a fuss! After that, you must apologize!”“If you refuse, I’ll show up and annihilate you and your entire family with my bare hands!”Akio’s tone seemed righteous and decisive. He thought that if he flaunted his titles, he would be able to frighten Harvey into obeying him.He was confident that it would work again.But Harvey only chuckled in response.“Alright, then. I’ll wait for you in Mordu.”Harvey snapped his finger once more. The Longmen disciples promptly stuffed Sakura into a dirty sack.“Sen-sensei, you have to be careful! His true identity is…”Glug, glug, glug…Sakura could not finish her words. The Longmen disciples tightened the sack and flung her in
“Calm yourself, Ms. Thompson,” Cheryl replied slowly after a moment’s hesitation.“We weren’t outmatched by Harvey. He came with support, and we weren’t ready for him yet.”“We only lost because we were careless!”“I’ve heard everything about him already. There’s a reason why he’s able to mobilize so many people this time!”“That man seems to have some tricks up his sleeve. He dealt with Benjamin’s geomancy problem in his mansion, and then saved Senior Horan’s dear granddaughter…”“Because of these little tricks, he was able to get their support!”“However, favors don’t last forever! You of all people should know, Ms. Thompson.”“Does a nere live-in son-in-law really think he can trample all over us with just a few favors, especially when he has no standing in Mordu?”“He was just lucky!”Cheryl then took a deep breath.“Not only did Harvey offend the Xaviers of Wolsing, but he also went against the Thompsons.”“He even provoked Island Nations’ Shindan Way!”“He also angere
Jackson's eyes narrowed when he heard what Clarion had said, but he said nothing else. He gave Harvey an apologetic smile and then ordered his men to temporarily take Harvey into the prison at the back. While it was nothing more than symbolism, Blade knew that Clarion simply wanted to use this chance to disgust Harvey.Just when Harvey was going to be taken away, Clarion pulled out his mobile and dialed a number. Shortly after, the door was once again kicked open with a bang.Then, Durandal's companions appeared with anguished expressions. They were led by a long-haired man and a woman in a face mask. Once they entered the courtroom, the woman removed her mask. She was so sorrowful as if her husband had passed away.As for that long-haired man, while he had lost a finger and had his hand bandaged, there was a malevolent aura coming from him."Mandy! How could you kill my fiance?! I'll kill you!" The woman was instantly filled with rage the moment she saw Mandy. She immediately ran
Shortly, Blade escorted Harvey through the door made of rock. They followed the staircase down and into an underground area. It was quite spacious down there, and it was probably formed naturally. Plenty of man-made structures were built within the underground space.However, these buildings must be at least hundreds of years old. The lights added afterward suggest this was some kind of underground city.Harvey was quickly dragged to a place that looked like an ancient court. There was a sign board saying "Justice" on top, and three different kinds of guillotines were placed there. Bronze, silver, and gold. The ground under the guillotine seemed to be dark from the color of dried blood. One could faint by just watching the dried blood.It was obvious that countless people had died under these guillotines in the past few centuries. Harvey was unfazed by them. Instead, he found a bench and sat down, enjoying the sights of his surroundings.Those who were informed would know that he w
After a long while, Harvey sighed and said, "If that's the case, can you let me see the original files and conversation with the nurse? I also wanted to know just what kind of evidence the people from the Forbidden Wasteland believed was real."When Lanny heard Harvey's request, she coldly replied, "I'm sorry. But we haven't reached that part of the procedure yet. We know that you might be someone at the True Warrior level. It would be easy for an elite like you to assassinate or mislead someone. That's why, before we can confirm their safety, we won't show you any of the evidence or witness."Harvey shrugged. "I do have the power of a True Warrior. If I wanted to, I could easily kill everyone standing here.""I know," Lanny answered coldly. "But will you? No one is an island in this world. If you do that, all your friends and family will die because of you. Grand City will also categorize you as the most dangerous criminal and will do everything we can to kill you."You know all o
Durandal had to be dead. There was no mistake about it. And this had nothing to do with Parkerville and Grand City. They also found incriminating evidence regarding Harvey's "attack" on Durandal and the evidence fit.Who were the ones who wanted to target Harvey that badly? And why? Why did they want to make him an enemy of Grand City?Harvey's expression was severe as he thought about that. Could Evermore be behind this despite not appearing for so long? If that was true, what relationship did Evermore and Grand City have?Harvey glanced at Lanny when he was thinking about those questions and said, "Whether it is your Enforcement Division or the Forbidden Wasteland, all of you are smart people. None of you are fools. Can you really not see that there is someone else interfering with this? Or have you already seen it but didn't want to admit it and tried to kill me using this opportunity? "As long as you're not the one setting me up, after you killed me, you'll then cry a tear of
To Lanny, as long as the city could convict Harvey, he would become someone she could do whatever she wanted to him. That was why she was in no rush. She could make Harvey regret ever getting born once he was convicted since there was no need for her to drag herself into this, even if she wanted to kill Harvey."Prosecute me?" Harvey could not help but laugh when he saw how Lanny looked like that was how he would end. "I can leave here openly in less than 24 hours. I wonder how you'll look afterward.""Do you want to leave? Dream on." Lanny glared coldly at Harvey. "I'm going to show you the evidence that will damn you. In the hospital where Durandal was killed, we found security footage. In that footage, it clearly showed you killing Durandal and the entire process… It even got your face. A young nurse in the hospital could also prove that you were the one who killed him."In short, we had both witnesses and evidence. Harvey, I understand what you were thinking. Did you believe we
"Fool!" Lanny's expression became even darker after hearing Harvey's words. In Grand City, she was akin to a goddess. Countless people wanted to pursue her romantically. But Harvey said that she belonged to the streets? That was not something she would stand for!The moment that thought crossed her mind, Lanny cried, "Slap him! Slap him until he can't speak!"All the men and women behind Lanny prepared to put their firearms on Harvey's head once they heard Lanny's orders. Some of them even pulled up their sleeves. It was obvious that they wanted to slap Harvey. And from the looks of it, they would not stop until Harvey's face was swollen.Looking at the scene, Harvey did not care much and simply looked at Lanny with intrigue. He was thinking that if Lanny's men touched him, then he would have a good reason to slap her pretty face into oblivion. While he would not usually hit women, some liked to cross the line.Blade suddenly stepped forward despite his silence when he saw how both
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
