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,
At the main hall, Mandy Zimmer’s face had become swollen from the beating, and her mouth was filled with fresh blood.Cecilia Zachary and Angel Quinn did not have it easy either, forced to the ground by the thugs.The other students were shocked. Although they thought Nia Howell went a bit too far, nobody was willing to talk her out of this. Even admirers of Mandy at that moment were shaking in their boots.There was no point. Nia was bloodthirsty. If any of them had spoken up, they would’ve had their heads on pikes.“That worthless sack of trash live-in son-in-law isn’t back yet? This is his wife! He’s not even protecting his wife. Are we supposed to do it for him?”“Who knows if he bailed on her after seeing this. What sort of honor does a live-in son-in-law have? Even if he was here, will he be able to handle the situation?”“Jamie’s from the Brooke family even. Ah, Mandy’s completely screwed this time.”“It would be great if things could end like this. What if the thugs…”T
“Darling… It’s all my fault… I shouldn’t have gone… Are you okay? Are you hurt?” Harvey was shaking as he spoke, regretting that he left to the point where he was choking.Mandy could hardly open her eyes. Looking at Harvey in front of her gave her a sense of security. She smiled.“Honey… I… I’m okay.”That was the first time she had spoken like that in three whole years of marriage between the two, but Harvey didn’t realize it.He slowly lifted Mandy off the ground, face growing darker by the second.The thugs who were holding down Cecilia and Angel pushed them away when they saw one of their own getting beaten up like that. They rushed toward Harvey, balling their hands into fists.The thug at the front laughed.“Worthless trash, you’re still protecting your wife even with your stature? We’ll do her in front of you when we’re done! Heheheh…”The other thug coldly laughed. They were Liam Stone’s men. Don’t mention a live-in son-in-law, they wouldn’t even bat an eye on a regula
“You’ve got some moves, you worthless sack of trash. But do you have any idea who owns this place? Causing such a ruckus, you won’t be able to get out of here alive today!”Jamie Brooke smiled, not noticing Liam Stone was sitting on the ground of the entrance, face as pale as paper.Harvey let Cecilia and Angel take care of Mandy and walked toward Jamie with an expression as cold as ice. He swiped an ashtray on one of the tables and smashed it on Jamie’s face.Crack!Jamie’s face was swollen after the impact, a few of his teeth even fell out of his mouth.“You… How dare you hit me? A live-in son-in-law like you, do you want to die?!”Jamie covered his face immediately, both terrified and surprised at the same time.“You dare hit my man like that?! You worthless sack of trash, the audacity!” Nia Howell rushed toward Harvey like a madwoman, ready to slap Harvey across his face.Harvey swung his right hand toward Nia’s face and knocked her to the ground.“I never hit women, but
Nia Howell’s surgerized face had been beaten badly, all twisted up.Kane Brooke walked toward her and took a quick glance. Rage started to build up inside him.He wanted to have fun at Jamie Brooke’s house that night. Who would’ve thought that Nia would turn out like this? Kane’s mood was ruined.Kane’s sight landed on Jamie, who was also incapacitated.“What happened?” Kane coldly asked.“We’re finished! We’re finished! That’s Kane Brooke from the Brooke family!”“Harvey’s a fool! Now he can’t even get away!”“Kane had always been the perverted one. Not only Harvey will be facing the consequences, Mandy and the girls will be defiled too…”The group of students were shaking like leaves on a tree branch. Kane Brooke from the Brooke family was a ruthless man. His name was well known, just uttering it was enough to frighten most people to death. Not to mention, he was standing here at this very moment, full of rage.“Sigh, this is why people need to understand what they are capab
“Boss Liam, I paid the money due this month. What are you…”Kane Brooke was frightened. He was not afraid of boasting in front of Harvey York, but in front of Liam Stone, he was nothing but a wimp.Liam’s eyes were as cold as ice, even more intimidating than Kane. Liam said nothing, and kicked Kane down to the ground.“Boss Liam, what are you…”Kane was shocked. He opened his mouth, not knowing that this action would be the death of him.“You two are going to get me killed today!”Liam roared, and then went for Jamie Brooke to give him a beating. Jamie rolled all over the ground, crying non-stop.Nia Howell froze. She hurried in front of Jamie and shielded him.“Boss Liam, have you got the wrong people? We’re not the ones that beat up your men…”Liam paused, and then yanked Nia’s hair. Using his other hand, he began slapping her face repeatedly for a couple dozen times.“You nosy woman! Showing off my name everywhere, while hitting on some lowlife from the Brooke family with
Liam Stone was now Tyson Woods’ younger brother. Honestly speaking, he did not even have the right to be Harvey York’s younger brother. It was not easy for him to stay alive. He knew what he was supposed to do and what he was not supposed to do at this moment. Harvey did not expose his identity, so he naturally did not dare to do so as well. He clearly knew how he was supposed to deal with the Brooke family. If he did not satisfy Harvey’s demands that day, he could not begin to imagine the kind of death he would need to face… “W-What’s going on? Liam, are you giving up on the Brooke family?”“That’s impossible! Liam has been protecting the Brooke family for so many years. We have a solid relationship with each other. How could he mysteriously give up on us?”“Could it be that Harvey is an accomplished person?”“No way, he’s a worthless piece of trash. How could he be accomplished? I have a feeling that Liam’s switched sides to the Zimmer family…”“The Zimmer family is the only
Mandy Zimmer was slightly confused to see Liam Stone behaving so respectfully in front of her. She could not figure out why Liam would treat her with such high regard. Could this be because of Harvey York?The problem was that Liam was not treating Harvey in any special way. She thought that she was just overthinking.Liam must be acting this way because of the Zimmer family.While Mandy was still mulling over the situation, Harvey had spoken coldly, “Someone had beaten up my wife earlier and thought of wreaking havoc with my wife and her girlfriends. This person even wanted me to kneel and crawl out of here…”Murmurs were heard amongst the crowd.Harvey said this in a plain and nonchalant manner. Liam was about to kneel himself but did not dare to do so when he saw the warning flashed across Harvey’s eyes. He remembered Tyson Woods’ orders for him. Harvey was an extremely low-profile person. If he dared to expose Harvey’s identity, he would be inviting death himself.After drawi
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,
To the Islanders, whether it was killed or be killed, it did not matter much. During the Warring States, their entire civilization almost became extinct.This was nothing at all.However, all the elites who accompanied Djinn were elites from Sky Plane. To think that they died terribly… How could it not make him fearful? Djinn thought that while it would not be a walk in the park to complete this mission, he still needed to put in some effort.But he never expected that all the people he took with him had all crumpled on the ground, dead. They were Kings of Arms elites. Whether it was the swordsmen from the Origin Sword Style or the ninjas from the Origin Ninjustu, they were all the backbone of their respective schools. Each one of them required a lot of time and effort to train.He did not expect them to all die in such a terrifying manner. All he had left to say was this woman in white was simply too frightening.But when faced with his question, the woman in white did not say an
This changed Djinn's expression. Then, he finally saw the name of the drama. There was only one word shown. Ambush.The moment Djinn saw that word, his expression turned extremely dark."Something's wrong! Hear my orders, everyone! Take your drugs and attack with full force! Kill Neve Foster!" Djinn was also someone quite decisive. Once he noticed something was amiss with the current situation, he did not retreat and even quickly gave his orders.At this point, they were no longer in a position to retreat. As he made his orders, all the ninjas and swordsmen pulled out the longsword by their waists. All of them were ready to pounce at their target.But no matter how strong they were, they could not stop themselves from making war cries, as if they did not care about their own lives. However, the expected battle to the deaths did not occur at all. When the Island Nation elites cried out, the white figure in the living room reappeared in a flash.At this time, the Island Nation elite
Shortly, a ninja in black garb appeared not far away in front of them. He was the scout sent to investigate ahead. The scout's figure appeared right before Djinn. He bowed and said, "Lord Djinn."Djinn coldly asked, "How's the situation ahead?"The scout whispered, "I've confirmed that Geoffrey has joined the Grand City's Seven Families Joint Meeting. Three-fourths of the Universal Sect's elites had gone to the meeting. I have also confirmed that the place Neve stayed in, a courtyard at the back, isn't that strictly guarded. Our people have already hacked the security cameras in our route. We can immediately enter."Then, the scout quickly took out his tablet and showed Djinn some videos and pictures. Djinn looked at them and could not help but exclaim, "Good. Very good. Then let's do this together. Everyone, remember that we must finish this as quickly as possible. Our objective is to kill Neve and ignore everyone else. Understand?"Djinn's tone was low and serious."Yes!" All th
"That should work," said Coco after considering it. "I never liked Neve for the longest time. If we can pin her death on Vaida and Harvey, there's no harm to me at all. But we can't use anyone from Parkerville, so I'll need to make some arrangements…""No need for that," Dan said. "No matter how weak the Fosters are, they're still one of the Seven Families of Grand City. No one can touch them if one doesn't give them their all. It's best to get Sverker or Ghostface to kill her. I've been sealing all the entrances so far and not letting the people from Sky Plane enter. I believe they're very willing to cooperate if I simply ask for a favor."Dan gave it a deep thought after a while. Then, he smiled and said, "Right, I'll personally inform Clarion about this. Telling him that his beloved is in danger. I wonder, will it be Harvey's fault again if Clarion went to save her without making any preparations and ended up dying?"Coco's expression was merciless when she heard Dan's plans, thi
