“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
“Young Master York! What in the blazes was that?!” Fabian drew in a deep breath, forcing himself to remain calm.Everything that had happened moments ago was beyond his understanding, but he was still this generation’s King of Gambling. Thus, he couldn’t afford to lose his composure and fly into panic. He had to remain calm in the face of any crisis.Harvey had no intention to hide anything and explained, “You’ve lived in the southeast waters for a long time, so you must have heard of Nanyang sorcery.”“This should be heavily related to the Three Demon Monks from Thailand.”“What you just saw is the most sinister form of Nanyang sorcery, which is raising a ghost.”“I assume it was by the Three Demon Monks, for them to use it to kill you and your family.”“However, their plan went astray. They’re doomed to fail after making a move today, so this ghost is useless.”“Raising a ghost makes use of sorcery that requires them to detain the soul of a young child who has just died, and
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
