A crisp sound rang in the air as Edwin took the slap right on the face.A red palm print appeared on his cheek, gleaming viciously. The wretched sight was a humiliating one, indeed.“Kaitlyn!” Edwin growled, having lost all his patience.The moment his voice came out, the Parson family’s bodyguards charged forward.They pointed their firearms at Edwin’s head.If Edwin were to make any sudden moves, they wouldn’t hesitate to pull the trigger.Harvey and Leslie exited the crowd as well.“You think you can just call my name as you please?”“You think you have the right for that?” Kaitlyn demanded, her tone disdainful.“The Mendoza family is just a first-rated family! You think you’re some hotshot here just because your sister has control over the Dragon Palace’s branch, don’t you?”“Did you forget that you only got this far thanks to the Hamilton family?”“You cling onto the Hamilton family, then you get close to Harvey…”“Does your family even have dignity?”“Let me tell you
Edwin’s eyes were twitching as he looked at Kaitlyn’s smug face. His right hand was trembling, but in the end, he never swung it.Or rather, he forced himself back with all his might.Slap!When Kaitlyn saw that Edwin was remaining still, she slapped him on the other side of his face.“Filth! You’re all bark and no show! You look impressive, but you can’t even do anything!”“You won’t even fight back after getting hit by a woman!”“Do you have no shame?!”“Do you?!”Edwin was completely humiliated by Kaitlyn.‘Even when he’s one of the young masters of Las Vegas, he wouldn’t even fight back against me!’‘How useless can he be?!’‘At this point, he should just die!’Edwin covered his face, blood beginning to seep out of his lips. He looked utterly miserable, presenting an extremely horrible sight.The people watching burst out laughing and clinked their glasses in amusement as they delighted in the show. Some were even filming the entire thing with their phones.A young ma
“Besides, that’s the Johnson family’s share. Not yours! You don’t even have the right to decide for them!”“Or are you saying that your master’s already too scared to come at us? Is that why he’s okay with such humiliating terms?”Kaitlyn glared coldly at Edwin. Clearly, she wanted to see how he would react so she could proceed with her plan accordingly.Yet, Edwin remained composed.“Enough nonsense, Ms. Parson. I’ll ask you again: are you willing to accept the conditions or not?”Kaitlyn got closer and sized up Edwin, before approaching him to whisper in his ear.“Of course I’m willing to accept such good terms. But what a shame! I didn’t take Ms. Johnson away!”“Even if I did… Since your master’s making such great efforts to save her, wouldn’t it be more fun if I just keep her here and watch the Johnson family part ways with him?”“Your master thinks he can cause such a big commotion in Hong Kong and Las Vegas just because he’s a little smart and talented?”“He’s being naiv
“So what if I am?”“So what if I want to disrespect you?”Kaitlyn strode back to her couch calmly before sinking in it, crossing her legs haughtily.A faint smile hung on her lips as she looked at Edwin with a glare filled with contempt. “Are you about to lash out after trying so hard to swallow all that humiliation?”“Or are you going to hit me now?”“Go on! Try it!”“I’d love to see how you’ll do it!”“You…”Edwin was about to take a step forward when orderly footsteps could be heard from behind.Several uniformed people, armed to the teeth, surrounded the entire courtyard.Yoana, who was dressed in the same uniform, emerged out of the crowd with grand steps.“You dare touch someone from my family, Kaitlyn? Have you asked yourself this?”“Can you bear the consequences for doing such a thing?!”Yoana’s expression worsened when she got a glimpse of her brother’s swollen face and tattered clothes.“Oh mt! Isn’t this the lady of the Mendoza family, Helm Yoana Mendoza hers
Yoana’s pretty face became ice-cold, and her deadly frown could freeze ice. Louis’s slap had crossed her line.She represented Hong Kong and Las Vegas’ Dragon Palace branch, as well as Harvey’s interests.She would never allow herself to be slapped in the face that easily.In retaliation, she whipped out her elegant firearm.“You really think my title as helm is just for show, Louis?” she exclaimed, her voice an icy hiss.“Do you think I won’t kill you?”At her behest, her subordinates leaned forward with the safeties of their firearms off and aimed right at Louis.However, this deterrence was clearly useless against Louis. He glanced at Yoana, fearless, and snarled, “You barged in Emerald Club and challenged Kaitlyn’s authority! Of course you need a slap in the face!”“Let me tell you something, Yoana…”“Your title might be able to scare most people, but it can’t scare me! You think you have the right to stand up for your brother?!”“Dream on!”“Looks like you’re ready to g
“Hahahaha!”“Filth will always be filth!”“You’re all just trash!”“Look at yourselves!”Louis kept laughing maniacally as he gloated at Edwin and the others’ sorry state.“You people dare to show off in front of me?!”“You’re the ones bringing justice?!”“Hah! I haven’t even thrown my babies out yet, but you’re all already this terrified!”“If I really did it, you would’ve all burst into tears by now!”“All of you are really useless!”“The Mendoza family? The Clarke family?”“Stop joking around!”“You only got your statuses because nobody’s there to steal your spot!”“You think you’re so awesome to the point you’re on par with people like us?!”“Are you even worthy?!”Louis tapped Edwin on the face, arrogance seeping from his every pore. Helena and other beautiful women covered their mouths and giggled snidely.After tonight, both the Clarke and the Mendoza family would turn into Hong Kong and Las Vegas’s biggest jokes.Edwin shot a deadly glare at Louis. If only th
“Number two: if you don’t want to die, kneel and give yourself ten slaps in the face. Apologize as you should, and only then I’ll let you off the hook.”“Choose how you want to play. I’ll stick with you till the end. How’s that sound?”Harvey’s tone was very casual, as if he had Louis by the neck.Louis’s eyes frantically twitched before he released his murderous intent.“Who the hell are you?!”He wanted to send Harvey flying with a kick, but he realized that Harvey had his hand clasped like a handcuff.If Harvey used a little more force, the grenade in his hand would fall to the ground. If that were to happen, everyone would be dragged down and die together.Thus, Louis didn’t dare do anything rash.“It doesn’t matter who I am. What’s important here is your choice.”Harvey exerted slightly more force as he went on speaking nonchalantly.“If you really can’t choose, I’ll do it for you.”A loud crack could be heard from Louis’s hand after Harvey exerted more strength into hi
Louis’s expression changed constantly, his arrogance long gone.This was utterly humiliating for him.He had roamed the Dark Island and was well-known for being fearless.Yet, at this moment, he was completely suppressed by another person.The man turned out to be a lot more ruthless than him. The grenade would explode at any second, and people were really going to die.Louis thought that he didn’t fear death, and that he could scare everyone off with this fact.But today, the man that showed up out of nowhere made him realize the fear in his heart.His arrogant and domineering attitude was built upon his lack of fear toward death.But after having no control over the entire situation, after realizing that there was a chance he would perish in someone else’s hand…Just like everyone else, he would instantly give up without breaking a sweat!This realization twisted Louis’s face into a horrible expression of fear.“You’ve got guts, kid! Are you one of Mendoza’s men?! State yo
"Treason! This is treason!" Joven roared as he immediately assigned a crime to Harvey. "It's true the Country H Martial Arts Alliance's Representative is always the mayor of Grand City, but they must first go through all the necessary procedures first as well as obtaining the support of the Seven Families!"At most, you're just a candidate. You're not really the mayor of the Grand City! You're already calling yourself the mayor of this city before you have even become one, and you're even challenging the Peacekeeping Agency's authority! If you're really going to do this by the book, I can assure you that the Peacekeeping Agency will not vote you in!"And now, I will arrest you for treason!"Joven waved his hand, and the uniformed officers from the agency pulled out their repeating crossbows. From how aggressive they were, it was obvious that they were going to take Harvey down—even kill him."If I want to become the mayor of Grand City, I don't need anyone's agreement, and I don't
"You're the one that needs calcium! Our backbone is fine, thank you very much!" The short-haired woman was enraged. "Do you think someone narrow-minded like you can get cocky just because of a small victory? Do you know how powerful Sky Plane is? Do you know how weak you are? You're so narrow-minded! Forget about the strongest Origin Fist student, Mark, you can't even beat me! I'm telling you right now, you better…"Before she could even finish, Harvey frowned and immediately slapped her away. She was too noisy, and she wasted everyone's time!There was only silence when they saw Harvey slap the woman away.The Peacekeeping Agency in Grand City was in a unique position. They stood outside the normal hierarchy. Not only did they represent the will of the seven families, but they also represented the authority within Grand City.While many criticized Joven for becoming the spokesperson for Sky Plane, many would still fervently support him no matter where he went. Other than havin
"Don't you know what laws you have broken?" Joven snorted coldly, his face filled with arrogance. "Harvey, there's no need for you to act this way."Harvey's expression was cold. "I'm new to Grand City so I don't understand much about your so-called laws, but I'm also not interested in knowing them. But since you said I broke the law, as the Chief of the Peacekeeping Agency, you need to explain it to me, right?"Before Joven could say anything, the short-haired woman cut in coldly, "Harvey York. You intentionally targeted Sky Plane, a fine neighbor to Grand City. You intentionally used something as shameless as calling the Islanders weaklings to start a conflict between Country H and the Island Nation."You wanted to start a war between the two nations because of your personal vendetta. This is your crime…and an unpardonable one! Does it feel good when you put on the banner calling the Islanders weaklings? Do you think you're brilliant because you managed to defeat the practitioners
Harvey didn't react too much when he saw the man wearing the gray robe. However, Rachel was on high alert and stood next to Harvey with a frown. When Harvey noted what she was doing, he asked interestedly, "You know who this man is?""From the information I've gathered last night, this man is one of the persons in charge of Grand City's Peacekeeping Agency, Joven Greene. He's responsible for keeping the peace between the seven families. He's not that strong, but he represents the will of the seven families."When he handles the disputes between those from the Grand City and outsiders, he's usually very decisive. It's said that his relationship with the Islanders is quite good. Not only have they offered him several women, but they have also given him plenty of money and resources."The Island Nation must have pressured him regarding the matter of the cloth. It's normal to use such a relationship at a critical time…"After hearing what Rachel had to say about Joven, Harvey had s
After what had happened, the Dragon Gate training hall once again became Grand City's topic of conversation. The Islanders, other than gaining the title of being weaklings, also gained the reputation of being shameless.In just a few short hours, news of everything disgusting the Islanders did today quickly spread throughout Grand City. Anyone in Grand City with a conscience knew who to protect at a time like this.The Islanders, known for their haughtiness, became extremely unwelcome in Grand City. They didn't have any standards at all when taking actions and didn't even care about their reputation.Meanwhile, the Peacekeeping Agency was getting a headache as well. They had no choice but to increase their manpower and stop the Islanders from doing whatever they wanted after causing such a huge commotion. At the same time, they also asked Harvey to take the cloth down.Harvey didn't mind it much. The cloth in front of the training hall could be easily removed, but the resentment th
Everyone's eyes were on Harvey, wanting to see how he would solve this problem. The boy even gave Harvey a middle finger before hooking it, provoking him.Harvey simply looked at the boy curiously while enjoying his coffee, as if the boy was a clown. He could tell that the boy had trained in the Empty Hands Technique for a bit…and he really meant a little bit.If Harvey really did make his move, the boy would die instantly. Should that happen, things would become even more complicated. This was a truly despicable scheme. The Islanders' plots were just as appalling as ever.Harvey felt fortunate that he already knew that the Islanders' schemes could be quite vicious, so he had already made the necessary preparations.When the Islander with the mustache saw that Harvey didn't plan to attack nor kneel to surrender, he scoffed. "Are you scared? Or are you surrendering? Say something! Otherwise, attack! Do you think you're an ostrich and you can just hide your head in the sand? You ar
As he said that, the Islander switched on his phone and started streaming the event. It was obvious he wanted to see how Harvey was going to react to this.If Harvey agreed to fight ten warriors in one go, then the people he had arranged would swarm him and kill Harvey.If Harvey refused, then he would verbally humiliate Harvey.In other words, he had made full preparations for today.Harvey calmly drank a cup of tea and clapped. Rachel, who was fully prepared, walked from the back of the crowd. She turned on her phone and played a video clip on the TV screen. In the clip, it was obvious that Hale was the one who claimed Harvey could fight ten to one, not Harvey."What? Since when must our representative bear responsibility for something he has never said? If someone said he can fight 100 to 1 suddenly, should he fight a hundred men at the same time?" Rachel said.While fighting ten to one was something simple to Harvey, he wasn't interested in being involved in a plot the Island
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
