Jon gestured at the beautiful woman who had led Harvey here.The woman smiled in understanding and promptly made a phone call. Soon, several handsome men in suits entered carrying a large suitcase each.“Open it.”Jon waved his hand, ordering them to open the suitcases. They complied instantly. Stacks of colorful banknotes were revealed to Harvey.One of the cases was full of banknotes worth one thousand HKD.The other was full of banknotes worth one hundred US dollars.The last case was full of banknotes worth one hundred Euro.The banknotes were neatly stacked, exuding the smell of brand-new ink. The scent was quite overwhelming and rendered many breathless. The men in suits were green with envy. They could never make so much money even if they worked hard their entire life. Harvey narrowed his eyes, suspicious. His gaze fell on the opened suitcases before he turned to Jon with great interest. “What is this supposed to mean, Master Surrey?”Jon pushed the case of HKD d
Harvey’s gaze was filled with amusement. He narrowed his eyes and asked Jon tentatively, “What about the last case with Euros?”Based on the exchange rate, the value of the suitcase with Euros should be the highest. Thus, the next request must be the most important one.“Interesting. You really are a smart man!”Admiration was written all over Jon’s face. He was quite taken by Harvey’s wit and shrewdness.Jon waved his hand, instantly flipping over the suitcase, letting the banknotes pile up into a hill. “This is to buy the hidden art you’ve used to suppress the evil spirits just now, as well as to have you work in the Surrey Establishment…”“Ten million Euros to buy my hidden art? Not only that, you also want me to work for you for the rest of my life?”At Jon’s words, Harvey gave Jon a half-smile that was barely a smile. Contempt rose in his gaze. He continued with a slightly derisive tone, “My! You certainly have a great plan, Master Surrey.” “Aren’t you afraid that your p
“For a Feng Shui master, there cannot be another Feng Shui master stronger than himself.”“It will only affect his status.”“You’re being so sincere while trying to recruit me, but I’m sure you’ll kill me in a heartbeat when you discover that my death will be more beneficial to you. Or am I wrong?”Jon was stunned for a moment, taken by surprise. He didn’t expect Harvey to be so shrewd and think so far ahead…However, he didn’t let his surprise show and merely smiled again. He patted Harvey’s shoulder affectionately and said loftily, “Harvey, Harvey. You’re making malicious speculations. Your words are slander against me!”“I admit, I love fame and money. But I also know what can and can’t be done!”“I’d never resort to something as terrible as murdering just for a bit of cash. Do I look like I’d do such a thing?”“You’re so young, yet how can you harbor such terrible thoughts?” Jon then retreated to his seat and took a sip of his tea. He was still smiling amiably. “Think abou
“So what?”Harvey was unmoved, his face devoid of any emotion.“Pardon me, but I still have to look at the ancestral hall to see if I can save the King of Gambling.”“If I save him, I believe he’ll give me something worth a thousand times more than your offer.”Harvey gave the scattered green notes on the ground one final glance before leaving.“Sigh…”Jon took out a cigar and casually lit it up. He blew out a puff of smoke as he watched Harvey’s disappearing back.“I gave you respect and called you by your name when I was talking to you, young man.”“Despite that, you remain arrogant just because you’re still young and spry.”“You’re forcing my hand!”“I’ll teach you a lesson right now!”“I’ll let you know what it means to anger someone out of your league!”Jon’s kind and gentle manner vanished immediately.In its place was a ferocious, haughty aura of a spurned elite. At this, Harvey turned around and narrowed his eyes at Jon in curious scrutiny. “Well, well. Are you
Bang!But Nella didn’t have the chance to hit Harvey with her sword. Before she could even swing it at him, Harvey raised his leg and slammed it on her with a powerful kick. Once again, she was sent flying and ended up smashing right into the expensive wooden shelf right behind her. The impact was so great, she was deeply injured and couldn’t even muster up the strength to crawl back up.At the same time, the peach wood sword in her hand snapped in half.Nella stared at the broken sword in disbelief, her face now filled with despair.Harvey couldn’t care less. He strode out and went past the door nonchalantly, as if nothing had happened. Soon, he reached a small crowd and saw Jon, who was holding a Feng Shui plate. Harvey made his way to the man and stood before Jon, crossing his arms.He was so quick, it caught the Surrey Establishment disciples unaware. When they realized what was happening, Harvey was already blocking Jon’s path.Jon froze slightly when he saw Harvey sta
Ahead, a freezing aura could be felt, colder than anything…The cold was such that the room seemed to have plunged into ice. It was enough to make anyone shiver. All around Harvey, many people were lying flat on the ground in the courtyard. They were barely alive. They looked utterly wretched and woebegone, they were still stubbornly clinging onto their dear lives.Harvey squinted his eyes as he scrutinized them. They seemed to be struggling to crawl out of the ancestral hall, but were all stopped when they were just a step away.As Harvey was busy investigating the situation and trying to find out what was actually going on, a weak voice called out to him from some distance away.“S-Sir York…”Harvey immediately glanced at the corner of the room. Fabian was lying on the wall on his back, looking completely woebegone. There were several corpses around him, many of which looked like they had been shot dead. Harvey walked over and asked in a low voice, “How did you end up like
At the backyard, Harvey was engaged in a fight with an opponent.Harvey’s movements were lightning fast. With just a single punch, his opponent immediately fell to the ground and let out a furious howl of pain, face twisted in agony. Harvey, however, did not stop there. He put a foot forward and crushed the man’s leg instantly until a spine-chilling crack resounded. Crack!The sound of bones cracking horribly filled the air.“Aaagh!”His opponent let out another yowl of pain before finally revealing his appearance. He was a dark-skinned man clad in an attire from Nanyang. His face resembled a monkey, and a terribly putrid stench was emanating from his body. He struggled to escape Harvey’s grasp, all the while screaming in broken Chinese.“Dammit! Damn you!”“You son of a b*tch! How dare you ruin my business?!”“Let me go right now!”“If not, I’ll curse your entire family!”Despite having been soundly defeated by Harvey, the Nanyang man remained arrogant and fierce, un
Harvey stared into Fabian’s eyes, rather stunned.‘How ruthless!’This seemingly gentle old fox’s merciless side was something Harvey never expected. However, Harvey understood that Fabian pulling the trigger was not because he lacked compassion, but to display his devotion towards Harvey. Killing a small fry like Brandon didn’t amount to much in Harvey’s eyes, but Fabian’s decisiveness was quite satisfying for Harvey. “Not bad.”Harvey patted Fabian’s shoulder, filled with admiration.“Since you’re being so sincere, I’ll have to do the same.”“Burn down the ancestral hall before daylight. Then, get an excavator here. I’ll fix all of your problems after that.”Fabian was stunned and froze, terrified. Had he not acted the way he did, or perhaps betrayed Harvey out of fear, he would’ve died without even knowing the reason.And so, Fabian gulped down a mouthful of saliva and nodded enthusiastically.“I’ll listen to your orders, Sir York.”At this moment, he had complete tr
"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
