“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
Louis’s eyes twitched frantically. He was a very persistent man, but he still felt powerless when facing Harvey.“Are you really not scared of dying?!” he exclaimed, his tone grim.“Of course I am. Who isn’t?”“But I’m just some nobody. What about you?” Harvey said calmly.“You’re one of Four Masters of Hong Kong, the invincible fighter who roams the Dark Island. You have a bright future ahead of you!”“If we die together, I’d have nothing to lose.”“When I die, everyone will forget about me.”“But they’ll remember you for being a clown who died for the sake of vain pride!”The two were talking casually, but Helena and the others behind them had their eyes twitching frantically.One madman was already scary enough.But two of them were simply terrifying!They were on the verge of leaking their pants at this very moment.Louis sighed and tried to relent.“I have to admit, Kid. You’re bold! You’re strong! I admire you!”“I’ll admit defeat for this!”“I apologize!”“I was
Ding, ding, ding!The grenade fell onto the ground and rolled a few times, but it didn’t explode. Instead, it remained swaying in one spot.The crowd was drenched in cold sweat, shivering in fear.“Ah. It didn’t explode?”“Sorry. This one must’ve been broken.”Harvey showed a look of surprise before casually pulling out another grenade on Louis’s chest and taking off the safety pin.“I’ll let her go! I’ll give her back right now!”Before Louis could react, Kaitlyn immediately jumped out of hiding and screamed her surrender.Nobody wanted to die. Kaitlyn even less so, especially after having such a close shave with death.Her life had been smooth sailing. Of course she wouldn’t want to die a dog’s death here!Louis took a deep breath, his face horribly twisted. At the same time, he could smell the foul stench emitting from his body.He wanted to slam his head on the ground so badly.He never thought he would be this scared in his entire life.With a phone call from Kaitly
Louis’s face had almost sunk to the ground at this moment. Sensing the murderous intent on Harvey, he gritted his teeth and forced himself to choke out the words, “I’m sorry.”Harvey smiled after hearing those words. Slowly, he raised his leg and released Louis. Louis didn’t get up instantly, either.He knelt, his back straight as he leveled Harvey with a scornful look. He looked just like an untamed beast.“Harvey? So you’re that Harvey?!”“Good! I’ll remember everything today!”“You should know that there are always people stronger than you, Harvey!”“I’ll definitely settle scores with you for what happened tonight!”Harvey chuckled.“Do you know what I hate the most? People who talk big!”Harvey immediately grabbed Louis’s neck.Without hesitation, he shoved the grenade without a safety pin right into Louis’s mouth!“Since you talk so big, you better keep this in.”“If you talk again, you shouldn’t blame me if this baby explodes!”Harvey reached out and tapped Louis’s
Lexie wasn’t focused on any of this at all. She pondered over the situation before asking, “Is he that bold? He threw the grenade on the ground?”“The safety pin’s off, right? Why didn't it explode?”Vince sipped his tea before replying.“Someone checked the grenade after the whole thing passed. Turns out, it was broken. The explosives inside were in truth faulty.”“I don’t know if that brat’s lucky enough to get a broken grenade, or if he already knew about it…”“But his actions took the crowd by surprise.”Vince then played a video on his phone and watched it with Lexie.The two could see how the entire thing played out.After rewatching the video about three times, both of them let out quiet sights.It didn’t matter how Harvey did it, but he had total control over the situation as soon as he stepped inside Emerald Club.Lexie sighed again as she glanced at the screen, looking forlorn.“This guy has such good luck with women…”“Yoana, Leslie, and now Irene…”“All three h
#Edwin seemed slightly different compared to before.His previous frivolous, rich playboy attitude was replaced by stern severity. Never had he looked so serious in his life.Harvey was relieved. It seemed the lesson that night was worth it, after all.“You’ve been pushed around the entire night. Why don’t you take some rest?” he suggested.He then poured himself a cup of tea before taking a sip.Edwin trembled when he saw Harvey.“I found some more info to tell you about, Sir York,” he began, sounding quite hesitant.“But since you were resting, I didn’t want to bother you.”“Thanks for your hard work,” Harvey said.“It’s nothing.”Edwin shook his head, waving off the praise.“I couldn’t sleep, anyway.Harvey chuckled.“Can’t sleep? Are you still angry? Or are you vengeful now?”“Neither.”Edwin shook his head again.“While I was still with the Sword Camp, you said that I needed to face my own heart to have real courage. That way, I’d be able to climb the ranks and ris
At this moment, everyone from the Johnson family was sitting in the brightly lit living room with grim looks. They seemed to be waiting for something.Nobody mentioned anything about welcoming Irene home.Bang!In the midst of their unease, a loud sound could be heard from the front door.Immediately after, several black vans appeared. Disciples of the Longmen’s Law Enforcement stepped out of the cars, armed and dangerous. They looked ready to kill. The Longmen disciples who were in charge of guarding the Johnson Residence looked quite startled, not daring to make any sudden moves.The disciples of Longmen’s Law Enforcement scoffed derisively before surrounding the entire place.Carrie emerged, her face filled with valiant righteousness. She strode forward haughtily, followed by her equally arrogant subordinates. “What are you doing?” Irene demanded instinctively.Slap!Carrie ignored her and sent her flying with a slap on the face.She then took out her phone and sized
