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
“What are you trying to do here?!” Irene’s father was filled with rage.Their family had never encountered such humiliation, even after governing Longmen’s Hong Kong and Las Vegas branch for so many years. Morgan’s whereabouts were unknown, and now, his own daughter was forcefully dragged away.What were these people trying to do?“What’re we trying to do?” Carrie said calmly.“It’s simple. We’re looking for testimonies and evidence. I’m sure you can provide this for us, judging from the success of your family.”“I’ll give you half an hour to find evidence of your family conspiring with outsiders.”“If not, don’t blame me for prying the evidence out of your family!”The entire Johnson family’s expressions worsened after hearing Carrie’s words.Clearly, this woman was planning to frame them.“All of you will surely be punished for doing something like this on your own!” Irene’s father exclaimed.Slap!Carrie sent him flying with another slap on the face.“Punished?!”“G
There was only disdain in Harvey's eyes as he looked at the islanders. "I'm one of the best fighters in this generation. Your sword saints, Akio and Shinosuke, I've defeated all of them in one strike. I'm not afraid of them. Do you think I'm going to be afraid of you? All five of you should know that the Shinto Way's bloody wedding was all thanks to me, right? With so many battles before me, where did you get the idea and courage to believe that you can defeat me?" Harvey's words were calm, but his disdain was obvious.Normally, the Islanders would be enraged after hearing that. However, these five didn't even react to it. The Metal Ninja King that led them was especially calm. With a snort, he said, "I acknowledge that you're very strong, to the point that all six schools had been completely defeated. Quite a few people are by their inner demons the moment they hear your name."The problem is, do you think that the people from the six schools could represent the best of us? To
Harvey smiled and said calmly, "There's no need to apologize. Let's deal with these five before continuing our conversation."Geoffrey's smile widened. It was obvious that Harvey was pleased with how he dealt with the Islanders.Meanwhile, the expressions of the Five Elemental Kings darkened even more when they saw how Harvey and Geoffrey were chatting leisurely while ignoring them.The Metal Ninja King took a deep breath and said in a dark voice, "I never expected that despite so many, you still don't know your place, Geoffrey. Now that we Five Elemental Kings have appeared, it means you're going to die here today. You better consider if you should just surrender. Because if you do, at the very least we'll make sure you die in one piece. Or you can choose to fight until the end, until not even a bit of you is left…"As soon as the Metal Ninja King finished his speech, the other four Ninja Kings all drew out their longswords, the murderous intent in their eyes clear.Geoffrey nodd
When Harvey saw the throwing dagger, he frowned. "Ninjas from the Island Nation…?"Whoosh!At the same time, deafening booms filled the air. Suddenly, five ninjas in differently-colored uniforms appeared. They wore monster-shaped masks, looking vicious and terrifying.The moment they appeared, Geoffrey was bewildered."The five elemental kings of the Sky Plane?" he exclaimed. "The Sky Plane? Isn't there where the Island Nation said their gods reside? Does such a place really exist in reality?" Harvey asked. Even if Harvey himself was shocked at how terrifying the five ninjas were, he was still in the mood for gossiping."In our country, we have the Grand City, a place far above your world. The Island Nation had a similar place. The Island Nation called it the Sky Plane. Those who lived in the Sky Plane were just ancient beings who had reached the end of the Martial Path in Island Nation."Grand City and Country H's relationship isn't that good. Sometimes, Grand City would e
Harvey pretended not to understand Geoffrey's warning and just smiled. "Right. I wonder if you have anything else you want to tell me?"Seeing that Harvey was changing the topics, Geoffrey knew that Harvey didn't pay attention to his implied warning. He sighed in regret. All the young men nowadays were so prideful. When he finally encountered someone who seemed skilful, the man was in the end just more of the same.Originally, Geoffrey didn't want to talk with Harvey anymore. After Harvey asked him that question, Geoffrey hesitated for a while. Then, he treated it as a final gamble and gave a reply."Fine. Since I'm here anyway, I'll tell you about this too. There's another thing I want you to help me with, and that is to see if there is any Island Nation curse within me. I believe you must have heard a little about me in the past few days, so I'll make this short."After that battle, my lungs were injured. After a decade's worth of healing, I've managed to completely suppress
"Tell me, then," Harvey said without missing a beat."Firstly, I want to once again apologize to you on behalf of Grand City for the damage to your reputation," Geoffrey said sincerely. "After what's happened, the Grand City will make adjustments so this won't happen again."Harvey smiled. "There's no need to apologize. I don't really care whether you make any adjustments after this."But what Harvey didn't mention was that once he had the time, he would personally make those adjustments himself."Regardless, all of this was our fault. I've already warned them. If they get into trouble with you again without any reasons, then there's no need for you to do anything. I'll personally break their legs," Geoffrey said earnestly."Secondly, I want to thank you. Durandal is a junior I have high hopes for. I have spent a lot of effort on him. Because you have the power to overturn decisions, it's the reason I can openly continue the investigation as well. I hope one day, we can finally fi
When Harvey heard Mandy mention the word merciful, he sensed something was wrong. But something like this wasn't so easy to explain. Just when Harvey was going to change the subject, the screen for the security cameras in the living room showed a black Lincoln Extended. The windows for the back seats weren't rolled up, revealing the face of someone especially old.When Harvey saw that face, he was stunned and stood up. "Mandy, rest here. I'll be back soon.And then, he was already at the entrance of the estate. He quickly waved his hand, telling Rachel's men to step back for now. Then, he walked over to the window and said with a smile, "Long time no see, Mr. Geoffrey. You look as good as ever."As soon as Harvey said that, the door opened. Eight middle-aged men wearing robes slowly got out and spread to four corners. After that, an old man got out. His breathing was a little ragged, and anyone could tell that his lungs must have suffered some injuries in the past. Even then,
Mandy whispered, "If that's the case, you'll officially intervene in everything that has to do with Grand City. They have too many resources and too much power… I'm very worried if an outsider would suddenly intervene…"Harvey patted Mandy's head and said calmly, "Don't worry. In truth, from the moment I became the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance, it's already fated for everything to end like this. Even if what happened today didn't happen, something else will. Since it's only a matter of time, other than to deal with them as they come, the best way to deal with this is to be on the offensive."It's fine. You don't have to worry too much. With my personality, even if I really do take over Grand City's three halls, I'll simply find someone else to take over for me and stay behind the scenes. If I do that, as long as Grand City knows what to do and not make an enemy of me, it's going to be a happy ending for everyone involved, right?"Mandy said nothing after that, and cha
Not only was Geoffrey the leader of the Universal Sect, but he was also one of the Seven Predecessors of Grand City. For him to be able to join this joint trial, it proved that he had a lot of power and could decide plenty of things. When Geoffrey saw Samuel dumping the biggest trouble on him, he took a deep breath. A faint smile appeared on his old and wrinkled face.He looked at Harvey, who was enjoying the show thus far, and said, "Mr. Harvey, everyone here is demanding that I pass on to you all the power and organizations we have beyond Grand City. Are you interested in them? Allow me to introduce them to you. Outside of Grand City, we have three halls. Heaven, Earth, and Purgatory. They manage everything that is related to the Grand City outside of the city itself. Once you have these powers, you can never be separated from us…""I want it." Harvey didn't even finish for Geoffrey to finish and agreed to it. "As per the bet, I want all the authority. I will give Grand City seve
"Currently, Country H is a country ruled by law. It's no longer a country that is ruled by an emperor. In this era, even the ruler could be judged by the same laws as the commoners. It's an era when the law's justice must be preserved at all costs. If Grand City frames Mr. Harvey, then they can frame someone else next time. In order to prevent something like this from happening, it's time to rectify Grand City's status and special rights."Jesse and Specter were among the best of the young generations within the Four Pillars. While their words couldn't represent the current leaders of the Four Pillars, they represented the voices of the younger generation.And from how Samuel and Lexie said nothing, their silence also represented their attitude in certain circumstances. In this case, all Four Pillars wanted to remove Grand City's special privileges.Harvey narrowed his eyes when he saw this. He knew someone else was pulling the strings. Earlier, he thought it was either Dan, Emery,
