The subordinate brought out his phone as he spoke. There was quite a lot of footage inside.Not only were there clips of Harvey ordering food, he was even seen lying in his room without even putting the drapes on his windows down.There were also videos of the elites’ patrol path, clearly showing their positions.“Good! Very good!”“You think you’re that great, Harvey?”“Didn’t you beat the Sword Saint and take Head Bauer’s place?”“Why do you seem so tired now?!”“Without Dean’s support, I’d like to see how he can still put up a front!”Scarlett made another gesture, and everyone got out of their cars in an instant.Scarlett pointed at two of the team leaders.“Number One, take a few people with you to get in through the fire exits. Make sure you keep them covered.”“Number Two, take your people and guard the dedicated elevator. Nobody gets in or out.”“The rest, come with me to the rooftop garden to deal with those elites!”“We need that bastard Harvey alive! I want him
“Contact Head York right now!”“Quick! Call the cops!”The elites stumbled to the inner parts of the building. When Scarlett saw this, she smirked. ‘As expected for Harvey to be this useless!’‘Even the guards around him are cowards! They didn’t even come at us themselves, but they chose to call the cops?’‘How useless must they be to say something like that?’Scarlett wasted no time to swing the longsword in her hand. A cold smile hung on her lips.“Go!”Around thirty people unsheathed their longswords from their waists before pouncing forward.The presidential suite, located at the top of the Three Seasons Hotel, was about a thousand six hundred square feet.Scarlett and her subordinates surrounded the place in an instant.At this very moment, she felt that Harvey was just a lone fish in the barrel.But after suffering so many losses, Scarlett didn’t lose her caution completely. She gestured to everyone to pull out their handguns, before pulling out her own and taking th
A Shadow Guard swung his sword forward with all his might.Clang!Edwin did not try to dodge. He used both hands to swing his sword again. As he did so, a bright light resembling the moon’s glare flashed in the air.The Shadow Guard’s longsword split in half. Almost instantly, red spread all over his throat.The others gasped in horror at the terrifying sight. They instinctively tried to back away and use their firearms.Bang, bang, bang!Edwin slashed forward, emotionless. The Shadow Guards didn’t get a chance to run away, even with their firearms. Every single one of them covered their throats, eyes filled with disbelief, before falling flat on the ground.Edwin was unimaginably powerful.Dealing with so many experts with such ease wasn’t something an ordinary King of Arms could do.At this very moment, Edwin had finally stepped into the realm of being a God of War.After dealing with the guards, Edwin didn’t continue his rampage. He only glanced at Scarlett with a mocki
Scarlett only saw Harvey as a useless kept man.Thus, she thought that she had a chance to make a comeback if she could break up Harvey and Yoana.Harvey chuckled, amused.“You can’t possibly think there’s a point to agitate me with those words, right?” he asked coolly.“If I wanted you dead, you would’ve been dead by now. Why would I keep you waiting?”“What the hell do you want?!”Scarlett’s expression changed slightly.“Simple. Tell me who ordered you to kill me. I’ll need to have a word with whoever that is.”Harvey smiled.“I know that it’s most likely that idiot Vince…”“But if you want to let the Five Virtues Temple take the blame, I don’t have any objections either.”“After all, I’ve been thinking about visiting them for a long time now.”Harvey appeared calm and casual. Scarlett’s expression changed immediately.“You’re trying to hurt Vince?!”Harvey laughed again.“What’s with that surprise? He’s been sending so many people after me. It’s only natural I get
When Yoana arrived with her subordinates at the hotel, the place was already cleaned up. Even the blood between the floor tiles was long gone.Air fresheners had been mixed in the air along with the scent of sunlight, covering up quite a bit of murderous intent and the blood that had seeped in the air.In the garden, a long table filled with pastries stood in front of Harvey. The smell alone was refreshing and hunger-inducing.Harvey had no appetite for food, but he was calmly sipping his black tea.He gestured to Yoana to sit down after seeing her arrival.Harvey met quite a lot of women in both Hong Kong and Las Vegas. Zina, Leslie, Irene, and many others…But out of every single one of them, only Yoana could be considered to be his most trusted comrade.Yoana was very decisive in her actions. Harvey admired that fact.It was also why only people of the Dragon Palace’s branch showed up to help.Harvey believed Yoana would be able to deal with the situation properly, without
”We’re done with Mitchell, but regarding Scarlett…”Yoana knew Harvey had a way to fix this, but she still had to say it.“Everyone knows Vince is involved in this,” Harvey said calmly.“But there’s no point looking for him with this corpse.”“Judging from what we know about him, he’s definitely a shallow man who says whatever that benefits him. He won’t confess.”“He might even turn around and frame all of us while he’s at it. There’ll be bigger trouble if that happens.”“So, you mean…”Yoana frowned while her eyes frantically twitched.She had figured out what Harvey wanted to do, but the knowledge left her shocked.Harvey flicked a USB from his hand onto Scarlett’s corpse. “Even though the surveillance systems are completely destroyed, one of ours happened to take a video proving that Scarlett killed herself.”“We’ll send the corpse right to the Five Virtues Temple and upload the video.”“I think they’ll give us a fair statement soon enough.”Harvey appeared calm, but Yo
“Why should we get close, and not the other way around?” Harvey said, still calm.“Help me send an invitation to her, saying that the prince of South Light is asking Lady Judd out for a meal.”Yoana froze slightly at Harvey’s look of determination.She couldn’t help but frown.“I don’t understand why we need to see Selena at such a crucial moment, Harvey.”“Because it’s almost Madam York’s birthday, the Yorks have been keeping a close eye on Lady Judd. She won’t be allowed to go anywhere.”“They need to make sure that she’ll acknowledge Vince as her son.”“Forgive me for being frank, but you’re only challenging the Yorks from Hong Kong by inviting Lady Judd out right now.”“I don’t recommend this.”“It doesn’t matter,” Harvey replied.“Even if we do nothing, that doesn’t stop Vince from trying to kill us.”“Precisely because of Madam York’s birthday that he might not do anything rash, all so he can keep his position.”“But once he rises to power, he’ll definitely come at me
On Taiping Mountaintop, inside the Parson family’s villa.Matthew Flynn and Ellis Parson sat in front of each other with horrible looks all over their faces.Quinton York, who was sitting cross-legged while sipping his tea, sat across them.After playing with his new phone and sending a text, he then smiled faintly at Matthew and Ellis.“We’re all one of the Four Masters of Hong Kong, after all. Are you going to do business with me or not?“If you do, you’re one of ours from today onward. When I rise to power, I won’t forget about the things you’ve done.“But if you don’t, all I need to do is inform Vince York that you betrayed him.”Naturally, Quinton was the one who had sent the text to Harvey York.Matthew’s expression changed slightly after hearing Quinton’s words.“You’re threatening us using Vince?” he coldly exclaimed after some time.“Are you insane, Quinton?!“You think Vince is going to believe you?!“You’re just his lapdog!”“We’ve been his brothers for so many
Daichi smiled faintly and said, "I know very well that in the eyes of people like you, Islanders like us are detestable. Speaking with us, working with us, and even eating a meal with us is quite disgusting, right?"However, we must all learn to be patient. It has already happened for quite some time. Is there a point in rushing through these few minutes? It's better for us to share a good meal and have a chat afterward."Daichi slowly partook in the meal, putting a piece of fish into his mouth and chewing slowly. At the same time, he narrowed his eyes as he looked at Harvey, his eyes filled with subtle amusement.Daichi found the meal before him quite enjoyable. He also found himself quite satisfied looking at Harvey showing a hint of irritation."Looks like you really think that you have me under control," Harvey said coldly. "But I can tell you that by just sitting here, my patience is already at its limit. I have a habit, too. Rather than being threatened by someone, I prefer t
Harvey looked at Daichi coldly. "I don't think there's anything between you and me that we need to talk about."However, Daichi said passionately, "But I believe we do. This is not a place for us to speak of such things, though. I have prepared a table for us at the best restaurant serving Island Nation cuisine in Grand City. I invite you to dine with us. How does that sound?"Not only can we talk about what's happening at the Island Nation, Sky Plane's scenery, the Seven Families of Grand City…as well as what's currently going on with Ms. Mandy of the Jeans of Mordu!"Clack!Harvey immediately grabbed Daichi by the throat. "I dare you to say it one more time. Are you threatening me?"Daichi smiled faintly. "Threaten? You must be joking! Someone like me doesn't threaten anyone. However, Sky Plane does have a deal with the Jeans of Mordu. They will be sending out a representative, who turns out to be Ms. Mandy."However, Ms. Mandy doesn't know much about the situation in Sky Plane
Hearing the conversation between Harvey and Clarion, Hale wasn't sure what to say. He let out a long sigh and said, "Thank you, Mr. Harvey, Mr. Clarion. I won't waste my breath, then. Since you're willing to protect a cripple like me, I'll be in your care from now on."He took out a paper and pen from the bedside table and quickly drew a picture, then put it in front of him. "Mr. Harvey, this is the real location of the Chapter of Ascension. I know you're sincere in helping me. I can't repay you, so I can only offer you this. Please don't refuse it. This thing will only get me killed if I have it with me."However, if it's with you, you should be able to put it to good use. Consider it my goodwill. I… I hope you can accept this and give me a chance to repay your kindness."Hale then made a gesture and swore, "I swear, this is the real location where the Chapter of Ascension is hidden. This is not a death trap. Please trust me. Other than the Chapter of Ascension, there's also some
It was obvious that Hale's anger and sorrow had pushed him to the limit. He was already blaming Sky Plane for everything. Sky Plane had just earned him as a mortal enemy."My condolences, Hale." Harvey extended his hand and tapped Hale's shoulder. "The dead can't be brought back, so the most important thing now is to recover. Sky Plane is a difficult enemy."Clarion nodded as well. "Now that Susan is dead, Sky Plane will not let this slide. However, we'll need to get you a new identity after you recover. Only when you're safe and when you can live for yourself will you have the chance to have your revenge."I've just received news that everyone in Grand City knows who you are. All the other Sacred Lands will find out very quickly. In a short while, there will be countless people looking for you, for us. That's why you need to get ready. We're running out of time."When Clarion said that, the frigid light in his eyes glinted. He didn't need to send anyone to find out what was go
"No matter what happened, she treated me well all these years. Even if I were to kill her, I want her to die with some dignity. As for the trouble from Sky Plan and her… I'll give you an explanation you'll be happy with. Please permit me," Hale said, not caring for the wounds on his body even when he was kneeling on the floor.Clarion looked stern. If he were to bring in a spy like Susan, it would help him immensely in his career. If they got her into the interrogation room and asked her proper questions, they could get valuable answers from her. That was the only value she had left.However, Clarion also knew why Hale framed it that way. She was still his wife, even when she had already betrayed him. Rather than letting someone like Clarion take her away right now and live a torturous life that she wouldn't be able to tell day by night, he'd prefer to kill her right now. That way, Susan would be able to die peacefully.But how should he choose? Clarion was having a headache rig
Hale's expression was one of shock.Susan was the same.Hale didn't expect Sky Plane's plan to be so vicious. They wanted the Chapter of Ascension and to use the chance to plunge Grand City into chaos.Susan was shocked about how accurate Harvey's guesswork was. If it wasn't because she knew that someone like him would never have a connection with Sky Plane, she would even think that he might have a hand in setting up the trap that looked like it was simply a string of coincidences.Otherwise, how would he have known everything in such detail?Clarion looked at Harvey with more admiration. While he looked like just an ordinary man, whether his power or perception was far beyond them.Hale slowly closed his eyes, forcing himself to calm down for a long time.Then, he turned and looked at Susan and muttered, "Now that we have reached this juncture, I don't think that there should be any more secrets between you and I. Just one question. Did everything happen exactly as Mr. Harvey
"Or maybe, in your subconscious, you do realize that something isn't right. Maybe you simply feel that it's better for her not to know about some things. That way, things will be safer for her," Harvey said with a shrug. "However, the truth is that she didn't get anything from you at all until yesterday, isn't it?"Hale nodded. "You're right. I did have some doubts about her in my mind, that's why I did tell her everything except the Chapter of Ascension."Hale seemed to reminisce about something else before giving a painful smile. "And then, as time passed by, I no longer suspected her. But I'm worried that it'll get her killed, so I chose not to say anything. I believed that as long as I said nothing, we'll be able to live a peaceful life! No one expects that in the end…"Hale signed, looking hopeless when he said that.However, Susan simply smiled icily. "Stop your crocodile tears, Hale. You never trusted me, so stop saying that you love me!"Hale smiled bitterly. He didn't w
Clarion was stunned when he saw Mrs. Hoffman was still trying to argue her way out."Even the way you argue is the same as the Origin Ninjas. Seriously?" Harvey smirked. "Right, I heard that the Origin Ninjas would leave the mark of a petal on the most private spot so that it was easier for them to identify each other. You must have seen it, right, Mr. Hoffman? Of course, I believe she'd definitely say it was just a tattoo that she had while she was in her youth."Unfortunately, I believe that Grand City has plenty of records. It should be quite easy for us to find the evidence we need. That's why, Mrs. Hoffman… Is there really a need to deny it anymore now that we've reached this point?"Mrs. Hoffman shuddered a little. She didn't expect that Harvey would be able to easily see through all her disguise. Most importantly, he even knew about the most damning evidence on her. In a situation like this, continuing with the argument really was pointless."You… You…!"At the same tim
Harvey said calmly, "You smell like one of them."Whoosh!Before Harvey could finish, Mrs. Hoffman immediately pounced at him. In midair, she waved her hand and threw a string of knives.All her blades were blue in color. They looked very pretty, but if they scratched one's skin, one could easily lose their lives if they weren't sent to the hospital immediately.Clarion was shocked when he saw what was unfolding. It was obvious he didn't expect Harvey's words to help them identify Mrs. Hoffman's real identity and forced her to attack.Still, that was quite normal. Thinking back about it, Mrs. Hoffman's calmness during this whole ordeal showed that she was not a normal woman.The power she suddenly showed was within their expectation, and they could understand it too.However, this exact revelation was making things more painful for Hale. It hurt him even more than finding out that his beloved wife sold him out. Clank! Clank! Clank!Harvey pulled up a small fruit knife and thr
