“Nia, you’re shameless! If you want to put up a show, go ahead. No one will stop you. But why did you have to talk about Mandy? Is it amusing for you?” Angel was furious. “This is a gathering, not a place for you to show off your acting skills!” “Hey! Why are you so angry? Could it be that you’re charmed by my Jamie? You can’t accept that I have such an excellent husband, so you’re jealous of me, aren’t you? Is that why you couldn’t hold yourself back and tried to find fault with me?” Nia said, grinning. She even leaned on Jamie on purpose. “You…” Angel was so angry that she trembled. She couldn’t even breathe properly.Seeing that her best friend was being bullied, Mandy couldn’t hold herself back anymore. She strode forward and said slowly, “Nia, we’re classmates. Besides, today is a gathering. Why do you have to say such things?” Nia turned to Mandy with a faint smile “Mandy, are you upset with me? Is that why you asked your dog to come and bite me? If that’s the case, why do
Seeing that the classmates were speaking up for her, Nia became relieved. If her lie was exposed, she would be humiliated. Luckily, no one was willing to believe that live-in son-in-law, Harvey. “Worthless trash, why do you have to act like this? If you want to stand up for your wife, you need to have a little bit of self-awareness. You’re just a live-in son-in-law. Who would ever believe in your nonsense?” Nia spat, full of contempt. “I heard that you’ve been a live-in son-in-law for three years now. You always prepare the water for your mother-in-law to wash her feet. You even had to clean the bathroom. You don’t even get the chance to hold your wife’s hand. Why do you have to be like that? You’re a man, but you’re so pathetic. You’re an embarrassment to your own kind!” “Nia, you need to apologize to my wife and her best friend. We can just let it go just like that. How about that?” Harvey said calmly, not at all disturbed by Nia’s insults.“Mandy, is your husband out of his mi
Harvey touched the piano with his hands. He opened the lid of the piano with a soft bang. After that, he stretched his hands out to press on the keys softly.He was only standing there casually, playing the piano with one hand, but the graceful melody started to echo around the large hall. With every movement of his fingers, the melody fluctuated between tones of excitement, melancholy, and deep sounds...The smooth music was coupled with a perfect rhythm and the casual way it was played. While many of the people present knew little about music, they could faintly sense the way Harvey played the piano was so much better than Jamie’s. Nia’s facial expression grew incredibly hideous. She felt like she was deeply humiliated. At first, she wanted to make use of her plot to show off how exceptional Jamie was. It never occurred to her that Mandy’s live-in husband knew how to play the piano too. He even exposed Jamie’s fake act of playing the piano just now. Suddenly, shame and embarrass
Jamie smiled and left the hall. Soon, he reached Kane’s office. Kane was the heir of the Brookes in Niumhi, and he was also the biological son of the master of the Brookes. He was a young man in his thirties. He was rather handsome, but he looked slightly pale and sickly. The Brookes had influence in both evil and righteous sides. Although they didn’t have much influence among the gangsters, nobody dared to offend them because of Liam. However, they were not very well informed. During the past few days, Liam had become Tyson’s subordinate. The Brookes knew nothing of that. “Uncle.” Jamie entered the office and said respectfully. “Here you are.” Kane was playing with his female secretary's exquisite face at that moment. He smiled. He treated his nephew rather kindly. It was because his nephew knew how to please him. Kane valued a person like Jamie highly, since Jamie could even be quite cruel toward his own people. At that moment, he gestured to his female secretary, ask
During the meal, Harvey gave an excuse that he wanted to go to the washroom. He then went to make a call outside. He knew a person like Nia well. She would never endure that kind of humiliation quietly. She even went to them deliberately and threatened them. Later, something might happen. Harvey was not afraid of anything. But this was not his territory. If anything happened to Mandy, he would be filled with regret. He was not familiar with the people from the Brookes, but there was someone who could suppress the Brookes well, and that was Liam. Liam was now Tyson’s subordinate. If he let Liam tackle that issue, it could be considered as a chance for him to compensate for the mistakes he had made. It was quite the coincidence. Just when Harvey left the hall to make a call, a few gangsters entered the hall, cigarettes dangling at their lips. Seeing them, Nia looked rather wicked and vicious. She said coldly to Jamie, “Although Mandy is married, that worthless piece of tra
“Wow! Your skin is so fair. Let me touch it and see how smooth it is!” “Your little face is so pretty. I’d like to kiss it so d*mn much!” “A beauty like you has no man by your side, what a great waste!” The gangsters approached Mandy, Angel and Cecilia. They started to act imprudently, and they even drove the others out. A lot of the people present were Mandy’s admirers. Seeing this, they became quite enraged. “Who are you? Why can you come into this place? Don’t you know that we’ve reserved this entire place?” “How could you harass our classmates imprudently! Do you want us to call the police?” “That’s right. Get out of her immediately! We don’t welcome you here!” ...A few male classmates said righteously. It was a chance for them to act like heroes and save their beauty. How could they miss it? Bang!The leader from among that group of gangsters stepped forward and slapped the male classmate who had just spoken. He then said coldly, “Who the hell are you? How bo
The body of the male classmate who had just been kicked couldn’t stop twitching. He clutched his stomach, unable to stand up. The other gangsters stepped forward and each gave him a kick, until he grew weak and feeble. The sight filled everyone with deep shock and fear. They glanced at Jamie and Nia, who appeared condescending, as if what had happened had nothing to do with them. The others could not help but frown. Logically, both Jamie and Nia cared much about their pride and dignity. How could they allow others to ruin their occasion? Could it be that those gangsters were deliberately arranged by Nia and her husband? “Nia, we’re classmates. You don’t have to be so cruel, don’t you?” One of Mandy’s admirers said angrily. “Son of a b*tch! What do you mean? How is it related to me? Those b*tches attract all kinds of lascivious men. How does it concern me? Are you insane?” Nia stood up and shouted.The problem was that the Hot Spring Villa belonged to the Brookes. Besides, Ja
“Oh? Are you beautiful ladies gossiping? Are you talking about who’ll be first? Rest assured, there will be no favouritism between you ladies…”A thug rested his hand on the shoulder of Cecilia Zachary’s sensual body, his face wretched and lustful.Cecilia panicked, and screamed angrily at him.“Don’t touch me with your filthy hands!”“Heh, you think I’m filthy? Don’t worry, you’ll be more filthy than me in a moment. But I’ll never give you the cold shoulder!”The thug touched his jaw, saliva nearly gushing out of his dirty mouth.Angel Quinn’s face turned white. She hid behind Mandy Zimmer, on the verge of tears.Mandy sheltered Angel in her arms while standing up. She knew that the culprit of this mess had to be none other than Nia Howell.“Nia, I know we had a lot of conflicts in the past. I’ll apologize. Is there even a reason for you to do this?” Mandy said, furrowing her brows.“Mandy, do you think that I care about the amount of men that you have out there? How should I
Sverker smiled at Harvey, as if he had sensed Harvey staring at him. Then, he turned to look at Ghostface once more. "If you want me to do something about this, there won't be any problems. But remember. After this, I will lead all the operations in Grand City. The Origin Ninjas will be my subordinates."Ghostface's expression darkened a little, but he promptly replied, "That's fine. I agree on everyone's behalf.""Good. Remember your promise."After that, Sverker took another step forward. He immediately landed and stood on the hilt of one of the longswords impaled into the ground. His hands were behind him, looking like a peerless grandmaster.He proudly looked at Harvey before chuckling and asked, "You're the representative of the Country H Martial Arts Alliance, Harvey, am I correct? I heard you're the most powerful man in the alliance. But now that I get to see you in person, you look quite ordinary. Even if you're strong, you probably don't have the brain power since you walk
After giving it a few more looks, Harvey ignored the surroundings, and his gaze fell on Ghostface's figure ahead.When Ghostface had reached about a few hundred feet into the forest, he suddenly raised his hand, and a small repeating crossbow appeared in his hand. He did not even turn around and immediately pulled the trigger at where Harvey would be.Whoosh!Harvey's expression was calm. When he saw the bolts flying toward him, he simply stomped his foot on the ground. The rocks fired upward and instantly deflected all the bolts.Ghostface's expression changed once more when his attack was deflected, and he quickly retreated. Ghostface was escaping increasingly faster because it was obvious that he knew he would die a terrible death if he ended up in Harvey's hands.Harvey narrowed his eyes as he followed Ghostface without rushing. That was because Ghostface's actions were too intentional, as if he was worried that Harvey would not follow him at all. That was why, despite Harvey
Ghostface instantly slammed to the ground. He got on his knees and coughed out a mouthful of blood after a long time, and only then did he stand up with a dark expression."Gah!"When he stood up, blood was trickling from the edge of his lips. His chest was heaving visibly, and he was in a terrible state. He was critically wounded by one hit, and that alone could tell just how powerful Harvey was.Meanwhile, Harvey could not be bothered to waste his breath with Ghostface anymore. He instantly jumped out and slammed his fist once again.Whoosh!Suddenly, a few ninjas appeared from their surroundings. It was obvious they saw Ghostface was at a disadvantage. But they were kicked away by Harvey when they had just gotten close. The ninjas from the Island Nations meant nothing when faced with Harvey when he was being serious."Quick! Use the Martial Arts Weapons!" Ghostface's expression darkened once more when he saw Harvey was unstoppable and yelled out to his subordinates. Ghostface
A sharp, piercing pain immediately filled Harvey's entire being as he felt a huge needle had stabbed into his left arm. While there was no actual injury, the pain was excruciating. But the pain was not physical, it was from deep within his soul.When Ghostface saw Harvey's expression, he widened his eyes as he once again spat more fresh blood from the tip of his tongue on the doll, and the doll convulsed even harder. After that, Ghostface could only let out a cold laugh as he once again picked up the needle and this time, pinned it on the doll's chest.A shapeless pain began to spread in Harvey's being, and this time, it was heading straight to his chest.Harvey's expression changed again. Just what kind of a curse was this? How could it have had such an effect? As the needle went deeper, Harvey could start to sense the pain in his chest. He suspected that when the needle completely went into the doll, his heart would burst open.At that moment, even Harvey had to sign in admiratio
As the gigantic fireball flew straight toward Harvey, he could feel that even the humidity in the air had completely evaporated. The scent of scorching heat permeated the air. Harvey retreated again and again. With every step he took, he would kick a few pieces of rocks right at the fireball, trying to make the fireball collapse on itself.Thud! Thud! Thud!The ball of fire that was rolling toward Harvey exploded before it could get close to him in the end due to the surging of the air currents. However, all the surrounding plant life had been scorched into dust by the powerful heatwave, as if someone had detonated an explosion in the scene.Harvey's eyes narrowed when he saw what had happened. This technique had already surpassed what one would normally call martial arts. It was bordering close to fantasy. It was the first time Harvey saw a killing technique like this.And so, Harvey retreated once more and maintained a safe distance between himself and Ghostface before looking cu
Clang!The dagger instantly shattered into pieces and shot out in all directions. Some even sliced century-old trees in half. After shattering the dagger, Harvey's fist did not stop. It continued to crash forward inevitably, surrounded with aura.Ghostface's expression immediately changed, and a ghost mask instantly appeared on his face, his aura once again strengthening.Crack!But before his aura could reach his height, a crack appeared on the ghost mask, which was cut into two. With Harvey suppressing Ghostface's aura, his ace in the hole was completely useless and meaningless."Impossible…" Ghostface muttered as he could feel the cold sweat on his skin and the hairs on his arm standing up. He continuously hurled all kinds of weapons with his hands. Daggers and darts were thrown repeatedly, and his figure kept retreating backward, wanting to stop the attack with everything at his disposal.Clang!The sounds of metal being shattered rang again. His resistance was futile. In th
Whoosh!As one of the most outstanding elites among the Origin Ninjas, Ghostface had always been extremely decisive in his actions. Before he had even finished speaking with Harvey, a dagger had already appeared in his hand. His figure flickered, and the dagger went straight for Harvey.Harvey whipped his right hand out, as if he was already expecting Ghostface would ambush him, and a branch from a tree that he took parried Ghostface's dagger.Clang!As their weapons clashed with each other, a loud clang rang. Harvey's figure wavered a little bit while Ghostface's figure was flung into the air, and he landed where he started.Ghostface was shocked that Harvey could deflect his ambush with just a tree branch. With a cold smile on his face, the aura around him became even more intense. While Harvey was quite powerful, he himself was not that weak either. Those who had reached this stage had an indomitable fighting spirit.Harvey was also quite surprised when he saw Ghostface's batt
This moment caused Djinn's expression to twist in shock as he instinctively took half a step backward. The dread on his face was obvious. Who could expect that the attack he put all his might… An attack that was so terrifying did nothing at all.Before Djinn could regain his footing, the Swarm Queen's figure moved again, and the blade in her hand slashed.Djinn's figure paused as his footsteps froze, and fear spread in his eyes. That was because the Swarm Queen's blue blade had already pierced into his chest.Spurt!Fresh blood spurt out from his wound. However, the blood was not scarlet red, but a brilliant blue…"You…" Djinn's expression twisted when he saw what happened. He was not suffering… He could not even feel the pain. Then, his body slowly began to sway before crumpling on the ground. His life was slowly being drained away.Djinn seemed to remember something.He blew his final breath and said, "You… You're Belladonna Cult's Guardian… The cult's most powerful ace…"-
In Djinn's understanding, Neve was just your usual run-of-the-mill blue blood in Grand City. How did she know so much? How could she learn that they were coming and made preparations for them?Neve coldly answered, "Of course, I can't foretell what will happen. But what if someone wanted to do me a favor and told me to pay more attention? What do you think of the possibility of this person being the same person as the one who told you to come here?""Told me to come here?" Djinn's expression changed. "That damn fool Da…"Then, he suddenly realized what was happening. "You tricked me, woman?!""Tricked you?" Neve spoke with a smile. "I'm not tricking you. But, the person behind me has already foreseen everything.""The person behind you?" Djinn's eyes twitched again. "Just who is this person behind you? Is it her?""No. Sis Vaida is here just to protect me. Oh, right. Her name is the Swarm Queen."When hearing this name, Djinn's eyes grew wide. As one of the elites of Sky Plane,
