Mandy Zimmer’s face was completely swollen then.“Are you sure you want to frame me this way, Fourth Young Master?” exclaimed Mandy coldly.“You of all people should know that I’m the head of the ninth branch in the Jean family.“Are you not scared of the family plotting revenge against you for doing this?”“Mordu’s Jean family?”Ellie Palmer scoffed, then walked beside Mandy.“How are you this naive, Mandy?” whispered Ellie coldly with a tone only Mandy could hear.“I don’t understand how you’re able to be the head of the ninth branch with that brain of yours.“Do you think we’d dare go against you like this without any support?“Even if we kill you off today, the Jean family will just accept it and move on. Do you hear me?“After all, you’re obstructing someone else’s path!”Ellie took a step back while showing a playful yet derisive expression.Mandy froze slightly. Realization showed on her face before it was then replaced with a bitter expression.Obviously, she was n
“Ten. Nine. Eight. Seven…”While Mandy Zimmer was showing a terrible expression, Ellie Palmer had already started counting down.The Hamilton family’s bodyguard casually placed a finger on the firearm's trigger. One of Mandy’s subordinates was about to be shot.The inspectors of Las Vegas, who were supposed to uphold justice, all turned a blind eye to the situation.Mandy’s eyes frantically twitched before she took a deep breath.“Fine!“If that’s the case, I’ll admit it!“I was the one who stole the casino license. To compensate for what had happened, I’m willing to give up fifty percent of my shares of Mordu Casino-Palace!”Mandy’s expression was utterly horrible. Even though she felt resentful, Las Vegas was the Hamilton family’s territory.She was no match for them in their own turf.“Hear that, everyone?”Ellie clapped her hands and looked around her.“Since Head Zimmer confessed, it’s natural for her to give up fifty percent of her shares to pay the price.“The Hamil
Two inspectors were sent flying in an instant, making the others scream in anger when they were dead silent just before.“You bastard!”“Don’t you care about the law?!”“You must have a death wish!”Those inspectors were lackeys for the Hamilton family. They didn’t expect that an outsider like Harvey York would beat them up while they were “upholding justice.”The inspectors were boiling with anger at that moment.Even though they would usually do as they pleased, no one would dare oppose them.“The law? You spout things like you actually care.”Harvey coldly squinted at the inspectors.“You took the badge here to frame Head Zimmer, forced her to sign the contract and give up her shares, then got everyone here to witness her confession because this was all her fault?“Are you people shameless?“Or are you still expecting charity when you’re all acting like a bunch of bastards?!“You think you can just take advantage of every situation you get?”Harvey coldly glanced at his
Ellie Palmer covered her face as she scoffed.“Are you overestimating yourself a little, Mandy Zimmer? A thief wants to strike a deal?“Are you even worthy?”Mandy completely ignored Ellie and only glared at Jax Hamilton.“Let my mother go, Fourth Young Master. As long as you give her back, I’ll sign the contract,” said Mandy slowly word by word.“I swear by my position as the head of the ninth branch that I won’t pursue this matter any further.”Jax squinted in curiosity.“Let go of your mother?”“Right. It’s a simple request.”Mandy’s expression was as cold as ice then.“Since things have gotten to this point, there’s no need to deny the fact, Fourth Young Master.“You and I both know that Mordu Casino-Palace is just another distraction for me to come here. Even if the project itself is a cash cow, it’s still not enough of a reason for me to rush over here.“My mother being kidnapped is the real reason I’m here.“You’ll hand me my mother, and I’ll hand you the contract.
The Hamilton Council Chamber was located at the peak of Arcburn Mountain, surrounded by rolling mountains while facing the sea. The view was breathtaking.The Hamilton family occupying the summit of Las Vegas was the same as announcing their dominance within the country’s borders.Fifteen minutes later, Harvey York, Mandy Zimmer, and the others had arrived at the Hamilton Council Chamber.The place was extremely huge, covering around ten thousand square feet of space.Other than the wooden armchair in the middle of the place, numerous amount of official’s armchairs made out of golden-silk phoebe wood were placed on either side. Countless well-known calligraphies of famous people were hung all over the place. Even many treasures that were considered antiques were found here.Everything here was constantly flaunting just how wealthy the Hamilton family was.After seeing all this, Harvey was more interested in the legendary King of Gambling.Legends said that Fabian Hamilton was ju
Polly Bolton squinted and glanced at Harvey York without looking at the phone on the ground.After a while, she then cracked a smile.“Since you say you have proof, then it must be true.“I’ll give you a fair statement about this matter.”“Mother…”Jax Hamilton’s expression frantically changed.Polly glanced at Jax, then coldly exclaimed, “How embarrassing!“As a member of the Hamilton family, you can gamble, you can buy, you can even steal your casino license back if you want to!“But how are you supposed to refute when you get caught trying to frame someone else?!“Jax Hamilton, you are to shut yourself in the backyard for three days! If you don’t understand this fact, then don’t even think of coming back out!”Jax was showing an odd look on his face before he bowed.“As you wish.”After hearing those words, the people around were confused.‘What sort of statement is this? Jax can’t go outside for three days?’‘What kind of punishment is this even?’Before Harvey had a
“I don’t want your money. If you let my mother go, I’ll willingly give up my fifty percent share,” said Mandy Zimmer with a steady pace.“As long as I see my mother in one piece, I’ll…”Clang!The once polite and gentle Polly Bolton threw the teacup to the ground in a fit of rage.“How dare you?!“Head Zimmer, are you accusing that the Hamilton family kidnapped your mother to take your shares?!“The family has very successful businesses! What makes you think that we can’t just take the shares back with our own money?!“Do we even have the need to do something like that?!”Polly’s gaze was utterly disdainful.“Go outside and tell them! Tell them we kidnapped your mother! See if anyone believes you!”“What a joke! Who do you think we are?! We’re kings of Las Vegas! Why would we even do such a thing?!”“These people from Country H are ridiculous! They’re clearly trying to cling onto us! They’re using the fifty percent share of Mordu Casino-Palace to get more money, but they’re
“Sign it already…”Jax Hamilton picked up the Montblanc signature pen on the table, then politely handed it to Mandy Zimmer.“After you sign, you may leave. We won’t pursue this matter any further.”Sirens were echoing from outside. The inspectors from Las Vegas Police Station had arrived.“Are you still not signing, Head Zimmer?” Ellie Palmer asked coldly.“If you’re still not signing, Harvey York will be put behind bars when the inspectors come in.”Mandy trembled before she got ready to sign the paper.Slap!Harvey took a step forward and slapped the signature pen to the ground, then collected the documents on the table before tearing them to shreds.“Don’t sign it, Mandy!“Judging from the Hamilton family’s personality, they wouldn’t easily let us go even if we did!“They’re only being this hasty because they’re desperate to take your shares back!“Since they really want to play, we’ll play along.“Maybe we can even establish another casino-palace with the shares we ha
Harvey slightly frowned. He was shocked that Ethan had arrived. He even brought 500 soldiers from the Sword Camp. Was he attempting to destroy the entire Forbidden Wasteland?The 500 soldiers immediately encircled the entire Forbidden Wasteland as Harvey calmly watched how things developed. All of them had a sword by their waist, and their right hand was at the hilt. While they had not pulled out their swords yet, they were exuding a malevolent aura around them.Harvey had trained each of them, and they had all gone to war with him in the past. When they saw that Harvey was completely unharmed, they were both filled with excitement and relief. However, because of their orders, none of them went to salute him."So, this is the famous Forbidden Wasteland of World City. It was said that the people who were imprisoned here could never leave. I wonder if the Sword Camp can leave this place in one piece?"Ethan, who was in his military uniform, jumped off from the helicopter in mid-air.
Harvey narrowed his eyes as he looked at Lanny. There was only disdain in his eyes. "You said that you're doing everything by your law… But in truth, you simply want to make things worse. Despite looking like an agent of justice right now, what is happening right now is what you wanted the most."I'm the representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance, which makes me the mayor of Grand City in name. Whether you want to interrogate or set me up, all of you must consider the consequences of your actions. But what if I was the one that did it first? That would give you a reason to attack me, right?"I have to admit that it indeed worked in your favor, Lanny. But it also showed me the truth about Grand City! Rules and laws that have existed since ancient times? All of them were jokes and excuses!"Blade listened to Harvey with a dark expression, as if his beliefs were challenged. Meanwhile, Lanny remained calm. She breathed deeply and gave a cold reply, "Stop wasting your breath, Ha
All of Clarion's men exchanged looks. They did not want to but had no choice but to retreat. It was obvious that they could not simply watch Neve die like that. Harvey quickly motioned to Mandy, signaling for her to exit with her.Shortly after, they arrived at an empty space on the surface. An armed helicopter was waiting there. They had moved it here from somewhere, and it was also warmed up. Harvey took Neve hostage and was going to bring Mandy up into the helicopter.But before they could get any closer, hundreds of men and women in uniform appeared and surrounded them. They were all armed with weapons such as Rainstorm Needles and Royal Flushes, specially designed against martial arts masters. If they were used, the damage they could cause would be devastating."Do you really think you can escape, Harvey?" Lanny walked out from behind the crowd."I've indeed prepared a helicopter for you, but do you dare to go up? If you do, we have plenty of weapons to take it down so you can
Blade's expression turned extremely dark when he heard what Harvey had said. For someone like him, who had obeyed the laws of Grand City all his life, what Harvey had said was a hard pill to swallow. The point was that Harvey was right.While what happened looked like a coincidence, it resulted from Lanny's deliberate neglect. Was it not a joke for them to want Harvey to follow the rules when they themselves broke the rule first?However, Neve did not seem like she was threatened at all. She was already in a state of crazed fury, and she smiled. "You killed my fiance and then slapped me? Do you think you can leave just like this? Dream on! Even if I had to die today, I'll drag you down into the grave with me!"Crack!Harvey tightened his grip and snapped Neve's right arm. Then, he took the Rainstorm Needles and aimed them at Neve's head again. This simple action showed Harvey's determination.Neve almost let out a scream of pain as she could not stop shuddering from the pain of he
Neve, Lanny, and the others figured that once they captured Mandy, they would have it in the bag. They could do whatever they wanted to Harvey. However, they did not expect Harvey to respond with such fierceness."How dare you, Harvey!" After a moment of silence, Clarion finally reacted to what had happened. And as he waved his hand, everyone around him immediately rushed over. All of them raised the Rainstorm Needles in their hands, aiming at Harvey. It was as if they would turn Harvey into a beehive if he dared to make another move."How dare you touch me? Even my dad never hit me! You have a death wish! You're just a powerless representative! Even if you do have power, your demise is already determined after what you did openly just now!" Neve's face became twisted with anger."I might not be able to do anything to you if you don't touch me, but now that you did, no one in this world can protect you!" There was a crazed look on Neve's face. Obviously, she believed that Harvey wou
After Neve made her orders, all the men and women beside her revealed what was under their sleeves. They were all wearing the martial art weapons, the Rainstorm Needles. This was something ten times better than guns when targeting martial artists.However, Harvey ignored all of them and continued moving forward. He exclaimed coldly, "Stop! If any of you are going to continue to attack Mandy, I'm going to cripple you!"Neve gave an icy smirk. There was only disdain on her face as she narrowed her eyes at Harvey. "Who do you think you are, Harvey? Do you think you're in a position to make me stop just by telling me? Are you having heartaches for her? I'm going to hurt her right before you now!"Neve kicked Mandy to the ground and then stomped on her stomach. "You witch! Witch! Let's see who can stop you tonight! Durandal is already dead, and I don't want to live anymore! I'm not going to stop until you're dead!"Then, Neve revealed the Rainstorm Needles under her sleeves and put them
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
