The Malone family were frozen on the spot, stunned beyond belief.Unspeakable regret suddenly surged in their heart, crashing on them like a great tidal wave as they watched Harvey calmly entering the stage.Harvey…A grassroot in business who came to them for help, a useless live-in son-in-law, a fool who relied on them to survive in Mordu. Or so they thought. And then there was the branch leader of Longmen, Mordu, Branch Leader York.A powerful man who could do as he pleased, with impressive combat prowess second to none! How could such two different people end up being the same person?!Never in their wildest dreams could the Malones imagine this. No matter how much they tried, they couldn’t link these two personas together. It was inconceivable.Yet, reality had made a big joke out of them!The Harvey that they constantly looked down turned out to be Branch Leader York, who was admired by thousands and thousands of people.The impact from this revelation was too much fo
Hazel was stunned for a short moment, failing to understand what her mother meant.Seeing her daughter’s confused look, June then explained softly, “Have you heard of Oliver Bauer, the former branch leader of the branch of Mordu’s Longmen?”“He’s a man with incredible power and influence!”“But, in the end? I heard that he was hacked to death when he was in Buckwood! His grave’s already filled with wild grass now, don’t you know?”“Stop thinking that Harvey’s very powerful. Since he’s holding the position of branch leader, it also means that he’ll be facing a lot of danger!”“He’s above us now, but soon, we might be the ones climbing higher than him!”“We’re already in Mordu’s upper circle! Since Harvey’s just entered all of a sudden, I’m pretty sure he’ll have problems gaining a foothold in the upper circle!”“One more thing, Hazel! Currently, you are the number one influencer on Durin!”“You might become a major star within a year and a half, at most!”“When that happens, yo
June grew anxious when she saw Kelly’s face. She hurriedly asked, “Kelly, what do you mean by not being selected?”“Oh, it’s very simple.”Before Kelly could answer, Eugene Bowie’s slightly mocking voice sounded from the table next to them. He threw Kelly a derisive half-smile, narrowing his eyes slightly.“Your family has nothing to do with the branch leader anymore. Thus, your privilege to do business with Longmen has also been revoked.”“After all, everything could only be done according to the proper rules and procedures.”“Many people desire to cooperate with the Mordu’s Longmen. If you don’t have the capacity to compete with everyone else, it’s only expected for you to lose.”This statement caused Kelly’s face to change. Flabbergasted, he asked, “W-what do you mean?”“I can do big business because of my abilities! What does any of it have to do with Harvey?!”Eugene picked up a glass of wine and took a casual sip. He then said indifferently, “Kelly Malone. In the last mon
Before Hazel could come to her senses, her phone suddenly rang.She saw that the call was from the Durin company, and so answered in a hurry. “Pardon me, Miss Malone. I’m from the Durin company.”A freezing cold voice greeted Hazel from the other side of the phone.“On behalf of the company, I’m here to explain two things to you.”“Firstly, the contract we were negotiating was canceled. The company is not going to continue to support you. As we haven’t signed a formal contract yet, the company doesn’t need to compensate you. We will cancel your account within three days, so please be ready for it.”“Secondly, the 7.6 million dollars our CEO gave you under the account ‘Mr. Tycoon’ in order to boost your popularity before has been officially withdrawn.”Hazel trembled at this shocking revelation. “What? You won’t sign a contract with me?”“You’re going to retrieve all the tips?!”“Why?!”“Didn’t you say that I’m quite promising?”“Don’t forget, I’m number one on Durin's infl
Eugene was passing this message on behalf of Harvey. This also indicated that Harvey had decided to completely cut ties with the Malone family.After all, they were the ones who took the initiative to cut ties with Harvey earlier this afternoon.Harvey not trampling on the Malone family was already an act of incredible kindness.He only wanted to retrieve the resources he used to support them in the past, and didn’t deliberately do anything to humiliate the Malone family. This was already a big favor.As for how the Malones would end up after losing their resources, that matter had nothing to do with Harvey.After all, they were adults. Adults must always pay the price for their choices.On the high platform, Harvey began to toast to the high-level members of the branch of Mordu’s Longmen after saying a few words. He was accompanied by Rachel and Aiden.For Harvey, who was truly a good drinker, this was trivial.He didn’t pay much attention to the affairs of Longmen’s Mordu bra
The man who led the group exuded an extraordinary, imposing aura. He had a disdainful look on his face, and seemed to enjoy looking down on others.Beside him was a woman with a beautiful face, though her expression was extremely cold.Another two men and two women stood behind him, adding up to a total of six people.Yet, all of them carried an aura that could easily overwhelm everyone inside the hall.Several Longmen disciples guarding the gate subconsciously stepped forward. Unexpectedly, they were kicked away before they could do anything, and were unable to fight back.Once again, the crowd was shocked. Justin’s face turned ugly. He clapped his hands in the next moment and ordered, “Get them!”Following his order, more than a dozen of his direct descendants leapt forward. All of them went all out.‘Bang, bang, bang!’But one man among the six stepped forward and confronted them with ease.With just some kicks and punches, they were sent flying in an instant!Some spurt
The words “Longmen’s Law Enforcement” certainly gave everyone great fear. Most of the Longmen disciples dared not move.However, Rachel, Aiden, and other loyalists were very clear that no matter how things would develop today, they must go down this road together with Harvey.If Harvey was finished, so were they.“Give an explanation?”The beautiful woman next to Jupiter drawled coldly, scoffing.“Harvey York, I’m afraid you have no idea about the status of Law Enforcement in Longmen.”“We’re supervised by the Master. That makes us above you. We supervise the branch leader!”“We are empowered to act without prior approval!”“This is the Law Enforcement Hall!”“Who are you compared to us? Not to mention, your identity as the branch leader is fake!”“Even if it’s true, you still have to kneel if we, the Law Enforcement, tell you to!”“Listen up, Harvey. I’m Mavis Lowe!”“I’m ordering you one last time. Before I get angry, you’d better cut off your limbs and come with us for f
’Crack!’Harvey stomped on the jade-like badge, crushing it with his foot until it was ground into dust. He then smiled and said softly, “Do you have the right to fight me?”“Especially with such mediocre skills?”Mavis’s rage exploded when she saw that Harvey dared to smash her personal badge. Her face turned ice-cold.“You’re stubborn, Harvey! You certainly have a death wish!”Mavis pulled out a machete from her waist just as she finished her words. She moved, leaping forward into Harvey’s direction.She was extremely fast. Her blade flickering dangerously, exuding an unspeakably frightful presence.Justin cried, “Branch leader, be careful!”‘Slap!’A crisp sound cut the air as Harvey slapped Mavis on the face. An ugly palm print was etched on her pretty face. She was flung into the air by the impact, smashing into a wine table.The table broke the instant her body crashed into it. The food and wine that were on it were sent into a mess, staining Mavis’s white attire. She w
"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
