“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
“Your subordinates went missing?”Harvey York frowned.“Did you report this to the authorities?”Fabian Hamilton shook his head.“Never. To be honest with you, since my family runs a big business, we naturally have some secrets hiding from the outside world. I just can’t call the cops as I please.“Even though I didn’t do that, I invited three private detectives from Hong Kong and Las Vegas to help, but they couldn’t find anything either. It felt like my subordinates just disappeared in thin air.“If their quarters weren’t there, we’d even doubt whether these people even existed in the first place.“Now, because of this, the people from the Hamilton Residence are panicking. Something dangerous is going up against the Hamilton family, and they can feel it.“Please help us out on this, Branch Leader York.”Harvey’s interest peaked as he pondered about the situation.“If you don’t mind, is it fine if we find a quiet place so I can check your pulse?”Fabian was confused, but he
"Enough. There's no point staying here. This place is cold and lifeless. Let's return to Wolsing. We can have something hot together. I also have something I want to talk with you about," Samuel said as he patted Harvey's shoulder. Then, Samuel wanted to take Harvey with him."Nah," Harvey suddenly said. "I need to send Mandy back home first. Maybe over a cup of tea with milk to warm her body and stop her from shaking. We can go out another time."Everyone was stunned after they heard what Harvey had just said. How could Harvey reject an invitation from someone important like Samuel? Just… Who was he?But before they could even recover, Neve suddenly grabbed a hand crossbow from one of her followers and pointed it toward Harvey. It was clear that she was still upset. The madness on her face was tinged by vengefulness and pain as she shouted, "I know you're more important than any of us, Mr. Samuel! I know someone like you can ignore all the laws in this world! But where's justice in
It was obvious that Lanny had no choice but to say that. Since if she did not do that, not only would she ruin the Bennett family's reputation, but the entire Grand City's reputation would also be tarnished.""Oh, right. You're called Lanny? And you're threatening me with your predecessor? Are you from White Peak by any chance?" Samuel asked curiously.Lanny gritted her teeth and replied, "That's right. I'm from White Peak, one of the Seven Families of Grand City."Samuel smirked and said, "I have dueled Ares Bennett three times, and he lost to me three times. If I wanted to, I could have slain him immediately the last time if I wanted to. That's why Ares has to call me Mr. Samuel whenever he sees me on the street and listens to me. You're just a greenhorn from White Peak… And you're pretending to be something special before me?"Samuel did not bother showing Lanny any respect. "Not to mention, everyone here has a good head on their shoulders. What really happened and what the trut
"It's all a misunderstanding, Mr. Samuel!" said Lanny with a darkened expression."But just now, I heard something about fighting to the last man, and there were so many weapons being used here that were targeted against martial artists. Are you telling me there's a misunderstanding? Do I look like a fool?" Samuel gave a cold smile and waved his hand.A formless wave of energy instantly rolled against Lanny's men. Lanny and the others were shocked and used everything they could to block this attack, which took them by surprise.But it was useless.In just an instant, all the Grand City's youths did everything they could, but all of them had to take three steps back as they coughed out a mouthful of blood.Some distance away, some men with longbows and crossbows also grunted as they fell to the ground.In just a simple attack, the Forbidden Wasteland's defenses instantly crumbled.Perhaps this was what they meant by invincibility.No one from Grand City dared stand beside Harvey
The man who came wore a white robe with a cold expression. He looked around and spoke clearly, "I heard someone say my young master has committed murder. I'm here to see if any evidence and witnesses are saying so. If I find any of them are fake, I'll slay those and their families who claim so!"He said it casually, like an old man making a comment while sweeping the streets. However, everyone here could feel their heart skipping a beat.There was only silence.Even Ethan's gaze froze for a moment. That was because he sensed an aura from the old man, which was extremely close to the chief instructor.He was an elite!As for the rest of those from Grand City, they were all stunned. The old man was able to hover in the air. This could only be done when one had become one with nature! Could it be that other elites who were not from the Grand City had reached the same level?Even Lanny, who boasted that a great power supported her, could not help but watch, her expression pale and in
"You are really quite impressive, Ethan. But do you dare to go against the Ministry of Defense's orders openly? I suggest you better give your great elder a call. Or maybe wait for him to call you!" Lanny said as if she had gotten an ace in a hole."I'm worried that you'll accidentally cause a chain effect and lose everything," Ethan coldly replied as he stared at Lanny with a similar coldness in his eyes. To him, none of his leaders could compare with the importance of the chief instructor. But the problem was, he could not inform the great elder why he did this. That was why even someone resolute like Ethan could not help but frown.However, his expression quickly returned calm. "Looks like Grand City isn't as powerful. Not only can you do nothing to me, but you even have to use your favors and connections from the past to stop me. And now, I'm even more convinced that Mr. Harvey is innocent! So, my apologies, but tonight, I don't care who calls me… I'm not going to stop!"Then, E
"You have reasons?" There was fury in Lanny's eyes. "Then tell me, what reasons are they?"Ethan seemed disdainful. "With your status? You don't have the right to know what the reasons are."He did not make that up, though. Lanny really did not have the authority to know Harvey's actual status. "Alright, let's not waste our time. Tell your people to put down your weapons, raise their hands, and squat over there. All my friends here are very impatient. If both sides went into conflict and accidentally killed a few people…"Well. It's going to be categorized as a training exercise accident. We don't have to bear any responsibility for it."Ethan's words were calm, as if everything he said made total and natural sense."Ethan!" Lanny shuddered in anger. "Grand City and the Ministry of Defense have always kept a respectful distance from each other. Are you going to make Grand City your enemy just for this man over here? Have you considered the consequences and whether it was worth it?
Grand City was outside the usual system within Country H. However, the truth was that it was a place where all the Sacred Training Grounds congregated together. Whether it was Country H in its current form or when all the other dynasties ruled it, it had always been an untouchable faction.Not to mention that they were protected by the Seven Families as well as the other Sacred Training Grounds. If they decided to fight, the power Grand City could call upon could far surpass what others could have imagined.That was why Lanny believed they had a fighting chance even when they faced the legendary Sword Camp."Grand City's reputation really does precede itself. And you're really quite impressive yourself," Ethan said as he clapped his hands. "If it's someone else, they would be kneeling on the ground shuddering, right? Unfortunately, you forgot that we survived on real battlefields. We do not fear death. Besides the Chief Instructor, every soldier in this camp is a King of Arms! Even
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
