“Plus, Young Master York just rescued me from the hands of the Three Demon Monks in Thailand!”“Despite that, you still want to shoot him?”“Zina, you’re becoming bolder and bolder. Do you want the whole world to accuse the Hamiltons of being ungrateful?!”“Apologize! Apologize to Young Master York immediately!”“If you don’t, I’ll kick you out of the house this instant!”“We Hamiltons don’t need such an unreasonable and inconsiderate person in our family!”Fabian was furious, angry to see Harvey receiving such awful disrespect.Jax and the others were astonished by his reaction. None of them knew what happened between Harvey and the King of Gambling that made him think so highly of Harvey.Many of the Hamiltons were stunned into speechlessness, especially Fabian’s wives. They initially wanted to pick on Harvey and mock him mercilessly. At the sight of Zina receiving a mighty scolding from their beloved Fabian, they wisely kept mum and lowered their heads to sip on their tea.
“Alright, Zina, don’t be upset.”“If you do something wrong, you must admit it.”“In the future, you shouldn’t be so impulsive.”The priest spoke gently with a smile as she comforted Zina.Zina was arrogant and wilful, but she seemed to listen to the priest and didn’t say anything more at the moment.Fabian no longer scolded Zina, satisfied with her meekness. He then glanced at Harvey and said with a smile, “Young Master York, I’m afraid I have some discipline issues in my family. Thank you for your understanding.”“Since you’re here today, let me introduce you.”“This is Ms. Scarlett Leithold from Five Virtues Temple. She is also the senior of my unfilial daughter.”“Zina also practices her cultivation at Five Virtues Temple.”“I heard about what happened in the Hamilton Residence, so I came over to see.”“Ms. Leithold, you already know this man. He’s Harvey York, also known as Prince York, Branch Leader York, and the upstart of Hong Kong and Las Vegas.”Fabian introduced t
Zina, on the other hand, didn’t wait for Harvey to speak and instantly barked, “York, what’s the matter with you?!”“Are you dissatisfied with her because she spoke up for me just now? Did you smash the treasure of Five Virtues Temple on purpose to vent your anger?”“If you have any problem with me, just vent it out on me! What’s the point of venting it out on my senior?”“You misunderstand. There’s something wrong with this Feng Shui plate.”Harvey cast a cool look at Zina. “Or should I say, there’s something wrong with the material of this Feng Shui plate?”“Huh? What do you mean by that?”Scarlett’s pretty face was frosty, and her eyes were a rather fierce glare. “The Five Virtues Temple’s Feng Shui plate has been passed down for nearly two hundred years. It’s a priceless treasure.”“We rely on this Feng Shui plate to check the Feng Shui of locations. It has helped us solve many problems!”“Yet you dare claim that there’s something wrong with it?”“If you don’t justify your
“You are presumptuous!”“Do you know what kind of place the Five Virtues Temple is?”“The Five Virtues Temple is a holy place for martial arts in the South Light region! Many people want to come, but they can’t even enter the gate!”“Sir Hamilton has donated a lot of money to us every year, and has a close relationship with us!”“The Five Virtues Temple has been protecting the Hamiltons of Las Vegas for so long!”“You’re spewing all these lies to drive a wedge between us and Sir Hamilton!”“I’m certain! You harbor ulterior motives and bad intentions.”Scarlett’s pretty face was ice.Fabian hurriedly interjected with an awkward smile, “Ms. Leithold, do calm yourself. He’s one of us. Don’t be angry, Harvey doesn’t mean that. He’s just being kind, we…”“Kind?!”Scarlett immediately cut off Fabian’s words and snapped, “Is he really kind?”“Sir Hamilton! I may not be a central figure in the Five Virtues Temple, but I’m still a disciple.”“I represent the face and reputation of t
The Hamiltons exchanged dismayed glances when they heard Harvey speak so seriously.Zina was the first to sneer, disdainful. “Harvey, can you stop making up stories? Nothing happened to me in the past six months.”Harvey narrowed his eyes at Zina before smiling. “You’re still studying, right, Ms. Hamilton? So you should be living in the dormitory, no?”“Thus, don’t have the yin in your body.”Zina sneered, apparently dissatisfied with Harvey’s answer.However, the faces of all the other members of the Hamiltons changed slightly after they pondered carefully over Harvey’s words.Jax was frowning. “Yes, I’ll certainly lose money whenever I play cards these days.”Tyrell coughed lightly, his face suddenly pale. Several ladies from Hamilton Residence also exchanged wary looks, apparently aware that they were indeed more likely to get sick than before.Although it was just a few minor illnesses that could be resolved by taking some medicine…Thinking about Harvey’s words, they co
After the chaos, Denver was carried by the Hamiltons’ family doctor for emergency treatment.Just like that, the atmosphere amid the crowd suddenly became very tense.The Hamiltons broke into cold sweat as they stared at the fragments on the ground, scared witless.“Do you believe me now?” Harvey smiled lightly.Zina, however, refused to stand down. She put on a brave facade and screeched, “Harvey, Third Brother fainting might just be accidental. What happened to him didn’t prove anything!”“Do you still need proof?”Harvey kept on smiling. He picked up one of the fragments and flicked it with his finger, causing it to land in the open courtyard.The midday sun happened to shine on that fragment, bright golden rays falling on it.Hiss! The next moment, an ugly cry broke out. Strands of black yin rose in the sky like smoke, turning into what was akin to an extremely hideous grimace. Resentful screams rang out, and soon, the residual yin energy dissipated under the sun.Crack!
Suddenly, the loud blaring of trumpets could be heard all over the place.Thousands of people showed up on the streets soon after.They were grouped up in fours, and were carrying bright red coffins. Some were in charge of mourning, as if they were crying for their family.Aside from that, there were rows of white wreaths set outside the property of the first phase.The same people were headed in the same direction.With all these coffins wreaths and the loud trumpets…It looked to be a massive funeral!The grandiose district turned eerie and ghostly in an instant.The elderly who had brought cash were on the verge of blacking out upon the ghastly sight.Out of everything, they were most terrified of bad luck.Upon seeing so many coffins and the eerie, loud trumpets…Even if they were in a sales office…People who didn’t know would probably think of this place as a large cemetery!“I’ll turn every single one of those houses into graves!”“And because this is such a great
While Scarlett was looking forward to meeting Vince, Fabian had already gone through the Hamilton Residence with Harvey for quite some time.Harvey’s expression grew a touch colder when they arrived at the Hamiltons’ ancestral hall.He made a gesture, motioning Fabian to let the others leave and only let a trustworthy person stay behind.Fabian didn’t know Harvey’s intentions, but he did as told and instructed others to leave. He only lets the butler, Zummo, stay by his side.Zummo was an old man aged more than sixty years old, but he was energetic and looked calm all the way through. It seemed he had once been to the battlefield in his youth.“Young Master York. This is the Hamilton Residence’s butler, Zummo.”“He grew up with me and went through many things with me. I trust him more than my sons.”Fabian introduced Zummo to Harvey. His words were casual, but it was enough to prove Zummo’s high standing within the family.“If you need to do something dangerous, then just tell
"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
