“Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do about today’s incident? I’m all ears,” Harvey said with a warm smile after a moment of pondering.Aiden and Rachel exchanged glances, but said nothing.They were the younger generation of Longmen, after all. This was their first time finding out about the Longmen Overseers. Naturally, they couldn’t come out with anything worthwhile.Justin hesitated for a while before saying quietly, “There are two things that can be done, Branch Leader.”“Number one, you’ll go to Flutwell and beg for forgiveness from the Elder Group. Judging from their pride, they’ll let you off the hook as long as you give in.”Harvey nodded without interrupting Justin, and then signaled him to continue.“Number two, you’ll get the master of Longmen himself to back you up. After all, he’s basically the rival of the Four Longmen Elders. They don’t show it on the surface, but they’ve been constantly backstabbing each other without remorse all this time.”“If you ha
The following day, Harvey’s word spread throughout Longmen.His announcement caused a huge uproar. Other than those who originally belonged to Mordu’s Longmen branch, the other thirty-five branches thought that Harvey had gone insane.To talk big despite being a newly appointed branch leader…He was clearly going against the Four Elders and Longmen’s Law Enforcement!This was not a matter of courage. Harvey had a death wish!News from Flutwell claimed that one of the Four Longmen Elders got so angry, he smashed an invaluable purple clay pot into pieces in a fit of rage .The Law Enforcement, meanwhile, was preparing their troops to arrest the branch leader, who was going against his superiors.While the world was stirring up a fuss, Harvey returned to the number one villa.As he walked in, he was greeted with the sight of Mandy and Xynthia anxiously pacing the living room.Simon was holding a letter, and his face was a bloodless pallor. His thoughts were completely unreadabl
Behind the pitch-black window was a man Harvey was quite familiar with.If Harvey noticed this man, he would’ve recognized the man in an instant.The unknown man spied on Harvey through a pair of military-use binoculars. A faint smile made its way to his lips.“The intel from Wolsing was right after all.”“Proceed as planned.”“He dared to go against a young master of Wolsing…”“Since everyone wants him dead, I’d like to see if he can still survive…”The man then made a gesture.The car slowly started up, before slipping quietly into the bustling streets of Las Vegas without a trace.…Half an hour later, Harvey drove a Toyota Alphard out of the airport.There were many things that he needed to deal with in Mordu, whether it be Longmen, Sky Corporation, or the Shindan Way…But since Lilian was taken hostage, he had to deal with this problem first.He had no choice but to come anyway, since Mandy was rushing to Las Vegas as soon as she could.Fortunately, the Jean family h
Mandy’s face changed as she listened to Harvey’s explanation. She was no longer the sweet and innocent girl from before, but the head of the ninth branch of the Jean family.After Harvey’s explanation, she understood that she had acted too rashly about Lilian’s kidnapping.Had she allowed Harvey to plan everything out before coming, they would’ve had a better chance of rescuing Lilian.Thinking of this, she sighed.“I was being too rash, Harvey. I’m so sorry…”Harvey patted Mandy’s head and smiled warmly at her. “You’re my wife. There’s no need to say something like that.”“Besides, Lilian’s still my mother-in-law, no matter how badly she treats me.”“She’s trying her hardest to get me out of the family, but maybe she’ll let me stay after we save her!”Mandy chuckled bitterly after hearing Harvey’s playful words. She knew her mother all too well.Even if Harvey did manage to save Lilian, Lilian would probably be ungrateful for it.In fact, she might even blame Harvey for wh
Booooom!Instantly, the white Mercedes Benz G lost control like a released mad bull. It crashed right into the railing and the flowerbed on the side of the speedway, before flipping upside down.Several men with dark sunglasses barely managed to crawl out from the car before it overturned. They suffered heavy injuries and bleeding heads, no longer in any condition to fight.Boooom!Now that he had dealt with the white Mercedes Benz G, he stepped on the gas pedal and rammed right into the black one.However, the enemy’s impressive driving skills helped the car to dodge Harvey’s Toyota Alphard the nick of time.Harvey saw this, and immediately rolled down his window to throw a cup right at the car’s windshield.It broke into a thousand pieces, scattering shards of glass everywhere.Wails of pain could be heard inside the black Mercedes Benz G, before it crashed unceremoniously on the side of the road.The car quickly caught fire, ready to blow up at any moment.More men with su
Harvey calmly took a picture of the cars and sent it out, and then stepped on the gas pedal.“What are they trying to do, Harvey?”“If they’re trying to kill us, doesn’t that mean Mother’s in deep trouble?”Mandy was terribly anxious, fear written all over her face.“Don’t worry,” Harvey said calmly, assuring her.“As long as I’m not dead, she’ll be perfectly safe. She won’t lose even a single strand of hair.”“They’ll probably use her as the final trump card against me.”“If I die, she dies as well.”“That’s why you shouldn’t think too much. Let’s deal with the problem behind us first.”Harvey glanced at the rear view mirror after he spoke.He could see a strong, muscular blonde man emerging from the car’s sunroof, holding an RPG.The man was aiming his RPG right at Harvey’s car. Without any hesitation, he pulled the trigger.“What the hell?!”Harvey immediately stepped on the brakes, a horrible look on his face. He drifted the car sideways and dodged the shot.Boom!Th
The Arcburn villa district inside Las Vegas faced the sea, while mountains filled the background. The Victoria Harbor could be seen all the way from here. It was truly a district for the wealthy.Luxurious villas filled the area, with any single one costing over ten million dollars. Ordinary people had no right to show up here.It was also tightly guarded, equipped with the best security in all of Las Vegas.Harvey was inside a mountain range villa, looking at Victoria Harbor from the balcony absentmindedly, preoccupied. Mandy came out after her shower. She approached Harvey and covered him with a blanket.“It’ll get windy at night. Let’s head inside,” she whispered quietly.Harvey shook his head and put the blanket on Mandy instead.“I’m not that cold. You need to be careful, though. Try not to get a cold,” Harvey replied.“After all, you’re not coming here for only your mother, right?”Mandy’s eyes flickered slightly at his question.“That’s right. There’s another reason I
Harvey called a local cab and pointed the driver to his desired location. Then, he took out his phone. In just two days’ time, he had already figured out the entire process regarding Lilian’s kidnapping through his sources.Lilian had a few bodyguards accompanying her, both in public and in secret.Three days ago, they suddenly lost Lilian after she entered a public restroom in a mall. She mysteriously vanished after heading inside. When the bodyguards couldn’t find her, they informed Mandy of Lilian’s strange disappearance.Mandy took action instantly and sent a large group of people to search the entire mall. Unfortunately, it was to no avail.But after studying the footage of the restroom’s entrance, Harvey came to an educated guess.Not long after Lilian headed inside the restroom, a cleaner walked out, wheeling a cleaning cart.Harvey suspected that Lilian received a blow on the head and promptly passed out, and was then shoved inside the cart before she was taken away.
Once Harvey was at the Dragon Gate training hall, he narrowed his eyes.A huge crowd was right outside the entrance of the training hall. He counted at least a thousand of them with just a glance.They were all either martial arts elites or mutants. None of them were normal human beings.Of course, these people were mostly here to watch the show.There were also plenty of Islander men and women in their traditional summer garbs. All of them looked quite eager. Harvey could tell from first glance that they were either from Sky Plane or had the right to enter Grand City due to being at the top of the social pyramid in the Island Nation. All of them were filled with anger and resentment after Harvey chided them as weaklings. They were here to try and reclaim their dignity.When Harvey appeared, all of them instantly turned around. The anger within their eyes is apparent."Harvey York! Are you sure you want to go your own way? You're quite brave to challenge the entire Island Natio
"Dominating the Veiled Sanctuary?" Harvey asked Alexei curiously.Alexei scoffed. "Many years ago, a prodigy was born in the Veiled Sanctuary. He was said to be just a servant born into a small family. However, his powers grew exponentially after he accidentally learned martial arts."He became a King of Arms when he was 18, and then a True Warrior at 22. After that, he secretly stole the martial arts techniques from all the schools and mastered them. Finally, when he was 30 years old, he created his own martial art technique that had never appeared in the Veiled Sanctuary—the Technique of Elephants and Dragons."It's said that those trained in this technique can possess the power of ten elephants and ten dragons. They can forcefully tear apart space itself and step into the void, reaching unity between Man and Nature. Unfortunately, he has too little influence in Veiled Sanctuary. He stole too many secrets from the different schools, causing him to offend the higher-ups."In the
"Of course, only people from Grand City are supporting him. Whether it was Sky Plane, Sky Garden, Lost City, or the other locations, everyone criticized Harvey. They believed that we should have peace with all the other Sacred Lands. Harvey's existence would only cause fights between all of us."But the so-called peace from these Sacred Lands were only maintained because they were able to benefit from Grand City. Once Harvey's here and becomes mayor, the other Sacred Lands won't be able to get used to it," Geoffrey said.He was obviously quite pleased with this.For a long time, Grand City needed someone who could take control of the big picture. One of the reasons the E-A Battlefield occurred in the past was because the mayor went missing, and all the other Sacred Lands believed they could take advantage of this situation. That was why the five nations had worked together at the time.Luckily, the Chief Instructor was there at the time. He helped them defeat all their enemies and
When Harvey remembered that Vaida was schizophrenic, he suppressed the discomfort inside of him and smiled. "Ms. Vaida, why didn't you go back to rest? Isn't it boring to be at my place?"Vaida opened the door leading to the dining room. "I don't feel bored at all. I've been cooking for you the entire day. Since you're the man of my destiny, I'm simply doing what I'm supposed to, aren't I?"Cough!Harvey couldn't stop himself from coughing before saying, "Thanks, then.""That won't do, Senior Vaida! We grew up together and have known each other for almost two decades. You've never cooked for me. What's this, then? Do I really have no place in your heart?" Alexei said, almost to the point of crying and rolling on the ground.Vaida shot him a disappointed look. "Oh, you! Look at yourself. Are you acting like a man? I'm not expecting you to become an important person, but even if you're set on being someone spoiled rotten, can you at least be like a proper one? I heard that when I
With just a simple move, the Islander swordsman screamed in pain and crashed to the ground. He didn't even have the chance to spar with Harvey.An Islander wrestler immediately rushed out of the crowd. "I dare you to try me, Harvey!" Harvey calmly kicked a chair at the wrestler, who didn't even manage to enter the door before collapsing on the ground."Fool!""Die!"One by one, the Island Nation's elites attacked, but none of them could pass through the entrance into the training hall before collapsing.Harvey's technique was indeed very terrifying. What Harvey did without exerting much effort turned all the Islanders' excitement into despair. All the Islanders that had collapsed had some reputation in Grand City. But now, they were nothing before Harvey.Meanwhile, those from Country H were overjoyed. Many of them started to go around and spread the good news throughout Grand City.Harvey's reputation had spread in Grand City. A lot of people knew that the representative of
"All you Islanders are always acting so arrogantly in our territory. You'll sneer at us, calling us weaklings every now and then. Now, we simply stated the fact that you're weaklings too—and you find it hard to accept? Don't you understand that you should treat others how you like to be treated? If you're not weaklings before him, what are you then? Feces?"Hale shouted at the Islanders fearlessly, feeling refreshed as he did it. He seemed to have suffered a lot at the hands of Sky Plane, so he didn't hold back when he started his speech. It was enough to make the Islanders hear it go mad.However, Hale wasn't scared at all. Instead, he pointed at the Islanders and went on, "Yapping of sore losers."The Islander with the mustache almost went crazy. "Do you know what you're doing? You're trying to start a war! Can you bear this responsibility?"The other Islanders also joined in; all of them called for war, as if that would be enough to threaten Harvey. However, Hale didn't even b
Harvey couldn't tell what Hale was up to by borrowing his influence, but he knew very well that what he needed to do right now was to liven Grand City up. It would be best if he could cause a wave. Only then would he have the opportunity to achieve his goals.That was why he didn't stop Hale, despite not knowing what Hale was up to. Instead, Harvey let Hale do as he wanted.Hale took a deep breath. His eyes carried a meaningful gaze as he looked at Harvey, and he said with a dry smile, "What I'm going to do is to be quite intense, but I believe you can take it."Harvey chuckled. "Is it the kind that I prefer?""I don't know if you'll like it, but I believe you won't hate it," Hale said.Harvey clapped. "Sure. Let me see just how much of a ruckus your method that I won't hate will cause in Grand City!"Hale didn't waste his breath and grabbed a white piece of cloth and started painting something. Then, he immediately put it at the entrance of the training hall. As soon as the clot
There was cheer from the crowd when they saw how Harvey could easily defeat those from the Sky Plane and win back the pride of Grand City and the people from Country H.At this time, a middle-aged man, somewhat short and plump, approached Harvey with admiration on his face. "The way you fight is brilliant, friend. Most importantly, you managed to defeat the haughty Islanders without any trouble. Simply brilliant! You've won all our admiration!""That's right!" The people in the crowd all nodded, the admiration on their faces clear.It was said that amateurs watch the show for excitement, while the experts grasp the details. However, the people who formed the crowd this time were mostly martial arts elites. They understood just how powerful Harvey was from how he easily defeated Kuro, Mikan, and the other Islanders."It doesn't matter whether I earn your admiration or not," Harvey said with a faint smile as he entered the training hall. "Since you're not my training hall's student
In that instant, all the elites from Origin Fist could only gasp. They didn't know how to react when they saw what happened. Normally, once Harvey gave Kuro the chance to turn the table around, Kuro should have the advantage.But the result?Kuro was being stepped on, and he didn't even have the power to resist. Before Harvey's strength, he was just too weak."Not only can't you fight, but you're also making me very disappointed," Harvey said as he squatted and patted Kuro's face. It was a simple action, but it was enough to humiliate Kuro completely."Stop wasting time here, kid. I acknowledge that I've been careless, and I acknowledge that I'm not as skilled as you. I surrender!" The expression on Kuro's face was one of stubbornness. "If you can, kill me! I'm telling you, even if I die, the Origin Fist will never let you go! No matter who you are, you'll die in the hands of Origin Fist! If I die, your whole family will die with you!""How naïve," Harvey said with a smile. In t
