‘She confessed?!’A simple sentence was enough to make the representatives sit up straight.Even Harvey York couldn’t help but glance at Queenie York.He knew Queenie too well. This woman wouldn’t just give up that easily.Out of the Famous Four of the Yorks, she was the hardest one to deal with.Everyone expected her to jump up and down, screaming about how Harrison Yates’ allegations toward her had no actual proof.Nobody thought that she would give in just like that.“Harvey single-handedly destroyed the Yorks when he was in South Light. He kicked the entire family to Hong Kong! I hate him because of it!“That’s why I’ve been planning after coming to Hong Kong.“From Buckwood all the way to Mordu, I’ve been plotting everything in secret. He had no choice but to come to Hong Kong and Las Vegas because of me!“I arranged for many assassins to go after him in both Hong Kong and Las Vegas.“I was also the one who tried to assassinate him both times.“It’s a shame that he got
“I barely got here after getting the news today.“If I didn’t, the pillar of Longmen would’ve died in the hands of Dragon Palace!“How many of these things are happening behind the scenes unnoticed? Surely nobody has any idea!“The cornerstones of Country H were established so the country could forever flourish, not for some wealthy people to use as tools!“I think it’s high time for the Dragon Palace to be reformed.”Along with Queenie York’s confession, Samuel Bauer, Peyton Horan, and Jesse Xavier immediately questioned Dragon Palace’s authority.The three cornerstones kept each other in check, but they wouldn’t turn against each other. That was why things like those didn’t happen quite often.But since Dragon Palace was in charge of overseas affairs, its growth had already surpassed the other three cornerstones. There was no way to keep them in check either.The higher-ups of County H meant to question them through this incident too.Lexie York rubbed her temples. That was
“Since you know the importance of Hong Kong and Las Vegas, you should know that these two places have very complicated situations. Outsiders can’t just set foot here as they please.“I can guarantee you that the branch will run independently and that all the current higher-ups will be fired!“But my only condition is that the new person running the branch should be either from Hong Kong or Las Vegas!“If you agree to the condition, then I’ll oblige!“And if you don’t, we’ll just part ways here!“If Longmen wants to take revenge against us, then so be it!“I’ll take full responsibility for the situation!”The gentle and graceful Lexie York immediately tried to cover up for Dragon Palace.At the same time, her attitude made it clear that this was her limit.Both Hong Kong and Las Vegas were the territories of the Yorks from Hong Kong.There was no problem with Harvey York wanting Dragon Palace’s statement. For the unity of the cornerstones, Lexie was willing to give in.But he
Yoana Mendoza’s eyes lit up as she glanced at Lexie York, Queenie York, Quinton York, and the others…She knew full well that it would be really arduous for her to rip a hole in Hong Kong and Las Vegas with just her capabilities.At the same time, she understood that this was her chance, maybe even her only chance, for her family to make a comeback and be a first-rate family again.If she were to succeed, she would become a living legend of the Mendoza family.If she were to fail, she would be the one who pushed her entire family into the deep abyss.It was safe to say that the Mendoza family’s future would be decided with a single word.Yoana shifted her gaze onto Harvey York, then took a deep breath after a long while.“I understood something after what happened recently.“Everyone has compromises in this world.“My father’s been trying to leave the underworld and seclude himself…“But when there are people, the underworld always follows! Our family will never be able to br
The high and mighty Queenie York had already changed into her white prison uniform with her long hair tied up while holding an English literature book.The woman was completely different compared to her past. An intellectual beauty could be felt from her at this moment.To Harvey York, his sister was finally a little soft on the eyes.“Master Horan really is reliable. I didn’t expect he could get you here before I got imprisoned.”Queenie was slightly moved after seeing Harvey here.“I thought I won’t have another chance to talk to other people other than the guards here.”Harvey remained indifferent while he pulled a chair over for a seat.“Why did you call me here?” asked Harvey calmly.“You want to scream at me?“Or are you trying to remember my face so you won’t forget who to haunt?” Harvey casually exclaimed.“Since we’re both related by blood, I’ll give you ten minutes. I’ll get out of here once the time’s up.“I’m busy after all. I have to help Yoana Mendoza deal with
Harvey York frowned. He did not expect that the Yorks and Dragon Palace would be this resolute to make Queenie York take all the blame.Of course, this might’ve been some sort of indignation out of losing the Dragon Palace’s branch.But for Queenie, this was just too cruel.She hoped for the Yorks and Dragon Palace to bail her out so she could see the sun of day…“If you think this is unfair to you or feel resentful about the situation you’re in, maybe you can expose Vince York to us.”Harvey calmly looked at the beautiful woman’s face.“If you do that and provide the necessary proof, I can guarantee you that both Longmen and Dragon Cell will keep you safe. You’ll live the rest of your life with all the glory and riches overseas.”“You want me to expose Vince?”Queenie chuckled.“My dear Prince York, Vince has never met you, or is he showing any signs to go against you…“Even if we both know that he’s the one controlling everything behind the scenes.“But without any proof,
Moments after Harvey York left, Peyton Horan showed up in the interrogation room.He glanced at Queenie York, full of interest.“Are you planning to make Harvey fight against Vince York to the death for telling him such a big secret before you get imprisoned?“Or are you scheming something else?“There is no plan,” Queenie promptly replied with a calm tone.“I was the one that took all the blame, but Vince ditched me like I’m some nobody. Why should I even keep his secret after that?“I don’t care if Harvey manages to kill him. I’m happy as long as I can screw him.”Peyton squinted as he looked at the Taiping Mountaintop.If Vince didn’t go against Harvey, all those incidents wouldn’t have happened in the first place.But since he took action, Harvey found out about the truth…The Yorks from Hong Kong was about to be in deep trouble!“That said, Vince is supposed to take the position as the Chief Instructor of the nine biggest military forces in Country H? Can Harvey even go
The two walked to a small garden at the peak of Arcburn Mountain. People barely visited the place. It was an extremely obscure place.A dozen bodyguards were about to follow them inside, but Fabian Hamilton immediately stopped them. Naturally, there was something that he wanted to talk about to Harvey York in private.“I asked you here today to have a heart-to-heart conversation with you.“First, I want to apologize in place of my ungrateful sons for hurting your woman and framing you,” said Fabian earnestly while strolling around the garden.Harvey’s eyes lit up.“There’s no need. For me, the conflict between your family and me isn’t irreversible anyway. As long as your family doesn’t come looking for me for trouble, I’ll also steer away from you,” he replied calmly.“Don’t worry. Our family knows when to stop.”Fabian chuckled lightly.“I asked the few bastards to tell me about their grudges against you earlier this morning. My family’s obviously at fault here.“To show our
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
