Tassa John smiled.“When certain nobodies have some sort of authority, they’ll even mistake favors as actual connections.“That’s why they will all perish while they’re only halfway through their plans.“How interesting would it be if we let Harvey York walk into the abyss tonight!”Hector Thompson squinted for a moment.“Not bad. That would be quite interesting…“Give Eldest Young Master Bauer a call. Maybe we’ll need Longmen’s law enforcement hall after all…“Say, can Harvey still remain as Mordu’s Longmen branch leader when people from Longmen crush him?”A little color came to Tassa’s cheeks as she replied, “I sure hope so. He only has the right for me to take action if he does anyway…”***Four o’clock in the afternoon. When Harvey was about to head out, his phone suddenly rang.Harvey froze after he glanced at the screen. He didn’t expect a call from Kelly Malone.After picking up the call, June Lee’s voice echoed from the other side.“Hello? Is this Harvey? Where ar
Kelly Malone seemed quite hesitant as he said those words.On the other hand, June Lee was squinting at Harvey with a playful look on her face.“You don’t have to deny it. Your mother-in-law joined the Fragrant Hill villa owner group already. She told us everything there!“She’s even trying to arrange a marriage for her two daughters! This is outrageous!”Utter disdain was showing on June’s face.Harvey took everyone to visit the number one villa before, humiliating the entire family.But then the truth was right in front of everyone. Losers would always be losers. June was in an excellent mood then.Hazel Malone sighed in secret.A scornful smirk leaked out of Steven Walker’s face as if Harvey’s true identity was exposed entirely. He was exhilarated.Harvey rubbed his temples. He did not intend to explain the situation.After all, judging from Lilian’s behavior, she must’ve gone to every single villa in Fragrant Hill already.There was no use explaining with such a big rumo
Hazel Malone showed a peculiar look in her eyes. She seemed a little reluctant, but still, she forced out a warm smile.“Thank you for your support, Young Master Walker.”She wasn’t very fond of Steven Walker, and she even picked Garry Duncan over him previously. But after a while, she realized that the so-called Mixed Martial Arts Champion was nothing more than a joke.Compared to him, the rich heir who put a lot of effort into Hazel, Steven, was the better choice.Under June Lee’s insistence, Hazel was ready to accept Steven when he showed up at the Malone family’s house with invitations to the appreciation banquet.As for Harvey York, Hazel could not care less about him.Harvey was clinging onto Yvonne previously. Then, he got kicked out right after his wife arrived.How could someone like this even begin to compare to Steven?They were like night and day!Steven took a sip of his tea after he was done smoking.“All in a day’s work. Please don’t mind all of this, Hazel. We
June Lee squinted while pointing at Harvey York with her nose.“You’re not going to say that you’re the branch leader himself, are you? Do you think you could send us those invitations? Are you even worthy?“And you claim that you’re Mr. Tycoon himself? Do you know how much money Young Master Walker donated to Hazel Malone?“Three million dollars!“You can’t even make this much money your entire life! How dare you call yourself Mr. Tycoon?!“What are you even thinking?!“Let me tell you. Don’t try to act smart in the future, and stop showing off about things you didn’t do!“Even though we’re family friends, you already completely tarnished the relationship!“Don’t you dare say that you have relations with my family ever again! You’re simply unworthy!”Kelly Malone wanted to say something, but he stopped himself in the end.June was right. People like Harvey liked to stand out from the crowd, and he was the kind of person that would take credit for someone else’s achievements.
Naturally, June Lee still thought Harvey York was showing off, yet pretending to be someone he wasn’t.Harvey sighed. He decided to give Hazel Malone one last chance.“Hazel, even though we have gone through a lot of unpleasant memories together, we can at least stay as friends, right?“Are you sure you want to break all ties between us?”“We’re both cut from a different cloth anyway! My father was the one forcing me to get along with you in the first place…“We should just let bygones be bygones!”“Fine. Since the entire family wants this, I’ll forget about this so-called marriage proposal,” replied Harvey calmly.“Good. At least you’re still quite sensible…” responded June without a hint of remorse.“Third, from today onward, you’re fired from the Kaizen Group! Young Master Walker doesn’t want you working there anymore!“If you really want to stay in Mordu and flourish, you must rely on your own strength!“Hazel and I won’t be helping you anymore!“I hope that you won’t co
“Do you think the family wants anything to do with you?”June Lee seemed rather impatient.“I already told you. Just sign the letter, and we’ll have nothing to do with each other!“Just treat the money as your mental anguish fee!“You have no idea, do you? Ever since your mother-in-law texted in the villa owner’s group, I was terrified that you’d keep nagging my family even when I’m sleeping!“You even had to ask the waiter to come to a small place like this! You couldn’t even get in on your own!“Our family’s going to Mordu’s classiest banquet today…“There’s such a huge gap between us, and yet you dare say that we want something to do with you? Are you shameless?“You talk like you’re actually rich and influential, as if you can help my family!“Are you even worthy of having relations with us?“If you didn’t fool the old man to bring over some filth like you here, do you think we even want anything to do with you?!”Naturally, all those words came from June’s heart. If it
All the big characters were yet to arrive since it wasn’t time for the banquet.On the other hand, ordinary guests were all located outside, socializing while waiting for the banquet to start.Since Harvey York came early, he couldn’t find anyone he knew just yet. While he was walking around, Kelly Malone’s family and Steven Walker noticed him.“Bastard!”“This bastard!”“Why is he here?”June Lee’s expression turned horrible in an instant.“How can he be this shameless?!“Is he trying to get inside with the family’s name?!”Kelly still felt a little guilty earlier, but rage had completely replaced that feeling then.“What a disappointment!” Kelly exclaimed coldly.Naturally, Kelly and the others thought that Harvey only knew about the appreciation banquet because of their afternoon talk.That was why Harvey was trying to take advantage of the situation!Hazel Malone frowned. The guilt in her heart had completely disappeared then.When Harvey ignored the family about to h
June Lee’s expression was filled with utter disdain while she sized up Harvey York.“Oh my! Our dear Sir York is also here to attend the appreciation banquet of Mordu’s Longmen branch?“You’re just a jobless kept in live-in son-in-law! How can you even be here in the first place? What right do you have even to attend?“Do you really think that we don’t know what you’re capable of?“Is there even a need for roleplaying here?“If you aren’t standing with us right now like actual guests, you would’ve been thrown out of the place by now!“Do you believe that we can get you kicked out with just a single word?!”Naturally, June was already quite disgusted by Harvey’s honest look on his face. He was a kept man with no talent whatsoever, but he acted as though he was the king of the world!Was he even worthy?!Kelly Malone could not even bother interacting with Harvey any longer. He wanted this ignorant man to experience the harsh reality of society on his own.In Kelly’s eyes, there
"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
