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
Mandy Zimmer and the others were scared stiff. They knew of the consequences if they mess with these thugs, even if they were rich.“Alright ladies, stop struggling. What’s that quote of something about enjoying things?” The thug in front had sparked his inquisitiveness.“If you can’t reject it, learn to enjoy it.” Another thug replied.“Right right right, that’s the one…”The thug in front bellowed with laughter.“Alright ladies, let’s get started, shall we?”The thug had already reached for Mandy’s face as soon as he was done talking.Slap!Mandy, seething with anger, automatically slapped the thug’s face with a swing of her palm.The thug froze. They were evidently surprised that this lady who looked as harmless as sheep would even have the audacity to hit them.“How dare you hit me?! You bastard! Have you no sense of shame? You think you’re a bunch of hotshots when we don’t treat you roughly? Screw you!” The slapped thug was furious. He was ashamed; they all had lived
At the side hall of Hot Spring Villa.Harvey York sat casually on a couch while Liam Stone trembled in front of him.After being lectured by Tyson Woods for the past few days, Liam knew about the true identity of Harvey York. When he faced Harvey, he could only obey. Not even a hint of resistance was to be found in him.Liam knew if Harvey even showed a hint of what he’s capable of doing, getting Liam killed is but a trivial task.Tyson showing mercy was apparently also Harvey York’s doing. If not, Liam would’ve been sleeping with the fishes.“I heard that you’re still covering for the Brooke family. Looks like you’re doing well for yourself on Niumhi.”Harvey did not even glance at Liam, instead he kept playing with his old phone in his hand.After hearing this, Liam started to tremble anxiously.“Sir York, these are just past relationships. If Sir York deemed that the Brooke family is unworthy, my men will cut ties with them from today onward!”“Your men?”Harvey looked up,
None of the elites from Earth Hall had a problem with Wenzel's words. They all kneeled on the ground and said, "We understand the gravity of our crimes. We accept our punishment!"Meanwhile, Silvan's eye twitched as he forced a smile. "You're mistaken, Mayor! You've been away and didn't return in the past decade. You probably don't know what's happening in Grand City. Please listen to my explanation. I'm sure you'll be happy with it."Silvan was no fool. He knew very well that tonight, he might be made an example of if he wasn't careful. He had no choice but to choose to surrender so that he wouldn't be killed with one slap.Harvey said nothing but simply looked at what was happening without much interest. The others might be afraid of Wenzel, but he didn't feel anything."Grand City's current situation? Isn't it just someone wanting to hijack my authority while I'm away?" Wenzel said softly, but his words were frightening. "If I return any later, would you have a new mayor already
Rumble…The gigantic helicopter slowly landed on a platform right outside the entrance of the Foster Residence. The door slid open, and dozens of men in white robes walked out. Their faces were cold, as if they were machines or puppets. When they walked out, it was difficult to tell if they were even humans.Among the group, several men and women wearing masks could be seen among the men. While they weren't that eye-catching, they seemed to be surrounded by a formless, subtle aura of awe.Harvey gave them a look, and he could tell these men and women were extremely powerful. They were all elites at the level of True Warriors. All he could say was that Grand City was indeed very well established.A woman wearing Givenchy's exclusive collection and frameless glasses slowly walked out before standing aside, making way for a middle-aged man wearing a traditional garb. The man had a powerful figure and a handsome face. The outfit he was wearing was quite old, with a few patches here and
"Forget being on your knees and begging me, you're even threatening me," Harvey patted Silvan's face with the Absolute Decree. "Do you really think I wouldn't dare to kill you?""If you do, you wouldn't be wasting your breath now!" Silvan said with a cold smile, his expression brutal. "I'm warning you… You had better return the Absolute Decree to me in one piece, then kneel and beg for forgiveness and offer Tina to me. Then, maybe things will end here. Otherwise, you're going to pay for your mistake your entire life! At that time, not only you… Even those who stand with you will have to pay a price you can't even imagine!"Silvan had been given an order to take Tina away no matter what. That was his first aim.Of course, he couldn't simply let the part where he was humiliated be. He would get his revenge one way or another.Harvey smiled. "Really, now. Since you sound so confident, just bring it on. Let's see if your face is harder, or the Absolute Decree is harder…"When Silvan s
"That's for me to know and for you to find out. If you're not going to make a choice soon, I'm going to do that for you." Harvey extended his hand and patted Silvan's face with the Absolute Decree.Silvan's eyes narrowed. Only at this time did he realize why Dan had forced him to make his move even if he had to spend that precious one chance. The way Harvey did things was simply too overbearing and couldn't be prepared for."Put down the Absolute Decree!""What you're doing is forbidden in Grand City!""This is outrageous!"All the Earth Hall elites yelled, furious.Alexei used this chance to get closer to Harvey and whispered, "Big bro, you should pay more respect to the Absolute Decree. If you keep this up, you might anger all Seven Predecessors if you're not careful."Silvan smiled coldly. "You hear that, Harvey? You humiliated Grand City by stealing the Absolute Decree. You're in big trouble now."Harvey smiled. "You don't have to worry whether I'm in trouble or not. You
"No one can say that I won't be the future mayor of Grand City. As long as I have the possibility of becoming the mayor, what you do know is insubordination!" Harvey sneered. "Are you brave enough to touch me?""Really now?" Silvan snapped, his face frosty. "Do you think I haven't prepared anything before coming here?"Silvan took out a badge made of a special material, flashing it in front of Harvey. "The Absolute Decree! While it can only be used once, it will allow anyone to enter any place within Grand City! I think this is the perfect place to use this. Forget about the fact that you're not even the scion of Grand City just yet. Even if you are, you need to obey the Absolute Decree!"He waved his hand and commanded, "Alright! Go and get our target!"Whoosh!Before anyone from Earth Hall could move, Harvey took a step and immediately appeared right in front of Silvan. Before Silvan could react, Harvey slapped his face. Slap!The slap was loud, and it was powerful enough t
A simple sentence seemed to contain an endless amount of murderous intention, putting all the elites from the Earth Hall on their guard. Silvan's face became terrifyingly dark."I know you're powerful, Harvey. You crushed the Origin Fist's Mark and even defeated all the Island Nation's six schools in the past. There's no mistake that you're a true warrior. But think through this clearly. There are so many of us here, can you defeat us? Even if you can, what if the three halls combined forces? What if all 100,000 of Grand City's elites attacked?"I'm advising you here right now because I have some respect for your role as the Representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance. But if you still refuse to listen and want to force your way, we don't mind doing it until the end. You can try and attack any of us here. Let's see if the thousands of elites from the three halls will attack, and how many of us can you actually kill!" Silvan's handsome face turned brutal.If it was someone
However, Silvan couldn't simply leave like this or surrender. He gritted his teeth and instantly pulled out a gun from his waist. After disengaging the safety, he pointed at Harvey and said coldly, "I'm not here to waste my breath with you, Harvey. Take Tina here. I'll give you one minute. Otherwise, don't blame me for being callous! While you are indeed quite powerful, I trust that you know the people around you aren't that powerful!"36 men in black robes took a step forward. The weapons in their hands were not only aimed at Harvey, but also on Alexei and the rest.Harvey narrowed his eyes and smiled. "I do have the Tina that you're looking for, but I saved her out of the generosity of my heart as she was being pursued. However, something interesting about me is that when I save someone, I'll make sure to go all the way. Since she's now with me, I naturally need to ensure her safety."You can take her away. You can even put her in your prison. However, I need you to provide me w
Harvey played with the umbrella in his hand and said curiously, "You're with Dan?"When Silvan heard that, he said coldly, "Mr. Representative, do I need to repeat myself? I am Silvan of the Earth Hall. Now that I'm here, I am the warrant from Earth Hall as well as Grand City's law. And when I act, all will obey my orders. Even the Seven Families will cooperate with me without delay. Understand?"Harvey smiled. "And if I can't understand?"Silvan simply raised his hands.Clack! Clack!All 36 men in the black robes took out unique firearms and disengaged the safety, aiming in Harvey's direction."These weapons are specialized firearms Country A created against martial arts elites. Their bullets are created from toxins that could deal with True Warriors that Grand City has perfected. The ones with weapons are trained elites who with god-like accuracy and an iron will. If all 36 of them pull the trigger at the same time, even a living legend who has reached the level of uniting Man
Grand City looked quite mysterious under the cover of the night. The skies above were covered in dark clouds, with flashes of lightning visible occasionally—it was dazzling.Just when the butler of the Foster Residence was about to tell the staff to secure the gates for the night, sounds of car engines could be heard approaching from afar. Bright headlights swept over, and the staff instinctively narrowed their eyes. Eighteen Land Rover Defenders headed straight to the residence, surrounded by an unspeakable force. Thanks to the rain, one couldn't clearly see the figures within.However, each of the cars had red car plates, which was quite shocking to those in the know.It was Grand City's Purgatory Hall!The three halls of Grand City were the three institutions created for the city. The Heaven Hall was responsible for defense, the Earth Hall covered law enforcement, while the Purgatory Hall had dominion over execution.It could be said that among the Three Halls, while the Eart
