“Maiden?”“Those robes…”“The Five Virtues Temple?!”“You’re Teal Leithold?!”Harvey stared at the woman who had her whole body revealed to him, confused beyond anything. He never expected to land right where the Maiden was.Looking at such a clean and beautiful face, Harvey finally understood why this woman was called a Maiden.Judging from her looks alone, she was no different than an angel.Was Akio’s big plan consisted of Harvey landing in the Maiden’s bath so he could see her in all her glory?If that was the case, shouldn’t Akio fear Vince beating him to death?If Harvey remembered correctly, Vince was interested in Teal as well.Teal’s bright eyes flashed with a hint of fear. She forcefully calmed herself down before shifting her gaze toward Harvey.After a moment, she finally recognized the pervert that had suddenly showed up in her bath.“Harvey York?!” she exclaimed coldly.“What?! This man is Harvey?!”“He’s the one who’s been disrespecting the Five Virtues T
Just then, Teal emerged fully dressed. She was so breathtaking, really did seem like an actual angel.Her cold eyes gazed right into Harvey’s eyes. She began coldly, “Before, you wanted us to give you a statement about Scarlett.”“Logically speaking, I should be killing right now for barging into my bath.”“But we do owe you a statement.”“We’ll call a truce here, unless you have any other opinions.”“Huh?!”The disciples all went slack-jawed at Teal’s words.They couldn’t believe the Maiden brushed off such a big thing that easily.The statement that they were supposed to give Harvey would be resolved as well.Then… Who was the one suffering the biggest losses?!Some of the disciples glanced at Teal, their eyes twitching frantically.Was the Maiden interested in the man that had been going against the Five Virtues Temple?Harvey was rendered speechless as well.He had no idea what this heavenly woman in front of him was thinking…Nevertheless, he still felt that he was i
“If you can get out of Hong Kong within twenty-four hours, the Five Virtues Temple will let you off the hook for your past actions. We’ll even let you in on some benefits…” Teal continued, her tone cold and stern.Yet, Harvey could only laugh.“This is only the second time we’ve met. Isn’t that right, Maiden?”“Do you really hate me that much?”“Do you want me to get out of Hong Kong this badly?”“That’s right!”“Ever since you came here, Hong Kong has been constantly changing. Cracks are starting to form in the Yorks of Hong Kong.”Teal took a cup of tea from one of the disciples and took a sip, her cold expression unchanging.“The stability of the Yorks is what keeps Hong Kong and Las Vegas standing.”“Your existence will cause great trouble here, so I hope you can get out of here as fast as possible.”“This is for the sake of the Yorks…”“As well as for both Hong Kong and Las Vegas.”“If you leave now, we can kill three birds with one stone. It would be great for everyon
“The Head Coach is a brilliant man! His aura could shake the entire earth!”“He’s the living legend of Country H’s military force!”“How dare you call yourself that?!”“Don’t you know that you already tainted that name just by saying it?!”Teal’s gaze on Harvey was filled with ridicule and disdain.“Because of that, I hate you to the core!”“If it weren’t for me stopping myself from killing innocents…”“You wouldn’t even get the chance to get out of here!”Harvey shrugged.“Everything I said was the truth. It’s up to you whether you want to believe me or not.”“Hmph! If you’re still talking like that now, you really must be an irredeemable man.”Teal’s face was colored with a hint of rage. The Head Coach was clearly her idol. She would never let anyone tarnish the name of that wonderful man.She took a step back and snarled icily, “Take this man away! Throw him out of Hong Kong whether he likes it or not!”“Send word! If Harvey dares to call himself the Head Coach, or shows up in Hong
“People say you’re good at talking. I can see that now.”“If a God of War from Country H tells me this, I would’ve believed him.”“But you’re used to betraying others. Your promises are nothing but nonsense!”“Tell me. How should I believe you now?”“I’m just a dying old man, but I know that my country and Country H should rely on each other.”“True, there had been some conflict between us. But now, it’s all under control!”“On the other hand, us people from Nanyang will probably live horrible lives in the future if you Islanders achieve your goals. Am I right?”Akio sighed when he saw that there was no way for him to convince Dean.“So you’re saying you’re willing to walk down this path till the bitter end?” he asked calmly.“If that’s the case, then come at me!”“I’ll send you to your death!”Akio flashed Dean a grim glare. At the same time, his desire to kill Harvey became a lot more apparent.It wasn’t that long ago when Harvey arrived in Hong Kong and Las Vegas.Yet i
Clang!Akio had no choice but to swing his sword to block Dean’s attack.The swing was enough to force Dean to retreat, while also denying him the chance to kill Akio.Alas, the same swing forced Akio to cough up a lot of blood.He took a few deep breaths to stop the pain, but his hatred toward Harvey only continued to grow deeper.Seeing Akio’s wretched expression, Dean said, “You’re not even as good as Miyata. He could at least exchange a few moves with Sir York.”“But you?”“You can’t even take a single hit! You’re already scared sh*tless by Miyata’s death!”“That’s why you weren’t able to dodge Harvey’s blade!”“And now, his blade will be the death of you!”Akio laughed coldly.“Harvey’s just some random mutt!”“If I wasn’t leaving my country in a hurry and got carried away…”“That kid wouldn’t even get the chance to scratch me!”“When I get back to my country and train for another year or two, I’ll let that bastard know just how powerful I actually am!”Dean sighed.
The electric door of the car opened slowly, revealing Vince. He walked under the rain with a black umbrella shielding him, heading towards the Ferrari.He knocked on the car, signaling Lexie to roll down the window.Lexie quickly returned to her senses. Seeing Vince’s tender smile, she was unsure how she should feel. Complicated emotions surged in her.It took her a long while before she decided to open the car door. Immediately, she threw herself into Vince’s loving embrace. “I failed, Vince,” she whispered.“I couldn’t convince him, nor was I able to deal with him…”“I kept calling him filth…”“But at this point, I’m just like him…”Unbeknownst to Lexie, Vince’s face held a disdainful look.Contrary to his expression, he reached out to lightly caress Lexie’s head.“According to my news, that guy barged into the Five Virtues Temple’s forbidden grounds and met Teal,” he said calmly.“Akio wanted to use the Five Virtues Temple against him, but that plan must’ve failed,” Lexi
“If that’s really the case, then I can’t trust you after all!”“All these years, I’ve misjudged you!”Lexie raised her head and glared at Vince with a grim look.She didn’t expect Young Lord York himself to lose his mind to this extent for the sake of a mere woman.“This isn’t about being reckless, Lexie. All of Hong Kong and Las Vegas knows that the Five Virtues Temple stands behind me,” Vince calmly replied.“Even if Harvey and Teal only met by sheer coincidence, our fragile alliance with the Five Virtues Temple will crumble if someone decides to spread rumors about this. This is all the more possible when considering Teal’s status.”“Besides, as a man, I cannot allow anyone to tarnish my dignity!”“I’d rather die than let that man be with Teal.”Lexie reached out and caressed Vince’s handsome face gently.“You’d rather die?” she whispered after a long pause.“That isn’t something a noble like you should be saying, Vince.”“This is a crucial moment in your life. You need t
Meanwhile, Sol moved a chair over for Harvey and made a cup of tea for him. Harvey drank the flower tea that had just been freshly brewed. After a drink, he said with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Geoffrey.""You saved me, so it's nothing strange for me to show you some appreciation," replied Geoffrey with a smile as he waved his hand. Then, Sol and Lune closed and covered all the windows and doors leading to the studies. Later, he said, "Harvey, I've prepared everything I need to. It's all in your hands now."In the next few days, he had already written down his own comprehension of his martial arts and those that he believed needed to be recorded, then passed them to Sol and Lune for safekeeping. Geoffrey was prepared for the consequences of his treatment."Alright. Since you have made the decision, then I won't delay this any further. But I suggest that we should make a video recording. That way, you will not only know what changes occur to your body but also what I did." Harvey sugge
"You heard it too, didn't you? I gave Victoria a call," Harvey said openly. "Victoria is the eldest princess of the Empire. She owed me one, so I asked her a favor. To her, something like this is easily within her powers."Yvonne was shocked. "You're actually familiar with the Empire's eldest princess?"Harvey smiled. "It's all in the past. Not to mention that this time, it involves the lives of many of your relatives. It's more convenient if the Empire is the one that makes the move."Yvonne gave it a thought and mumbled, "Sir, you probably need to repay her for a favor this huge, right? If you need anything, just let me know, and I'll have the Xaviers prepare them.""Well… There's no need to," Harvey said as he glanced at his phone screen with a message written in the Empire's script. "I guess this is all over once I find some time to treat her to a meal."When she heard it, Yvonne's expression instantly turned strange. But she was a smart woman; she knew there were things she s
"That's because the Empire produces most of the firearms we Second Caste used. Once they stop their services, we will lose access to those firearms in the short term. The First Case will use this chance to retaliate. If we ever reach that stage, the Second Caste is doomed. That's why we have no choice but to execute the Empire's orders."That's not the worst part. Unless we can completely go without the weapons produced by the Empire from within our army, otherwise… Harvey basically owns the Second Caste from now on. Crossing him is suicidal. In our current condition, the Second Caste doesn't have the resources to change the firearms from within our army. That's why, whether we like it or not, he basically owns us," said Bart, heaving a sigh. His expression darkened."Darn it… I told them I would rather cross the people from Country A than the people from Country H. Why didn't they believe me? They only regretted it after they had been thoroughly humiliated."When Zoe heard it, she
"Let's go!" Bart's expression darkened when he saw things had reached this stage. With a wave of his hand, he was going to leave with his underlings. He was filled with dissatisfaction.Today was supposed to be his day of glory. He was supposed to crush the Xaviers right under his boots. He was even prepared to have some fun with the women from the Xaviers. But he never expected one call from Harvey to be enough to turn his dreams into nothing. He was extremely dissatisfied.Zoe shuddered and was also about to leave. She wished Harvey could forgive her existence at this moment."Did I tell you that you can leave?" Harvey glanced at the group as they reached the entrance. "Don't forget, all of you have to give me an explanation that I'm happy with."Then, Harvey glanced at Zoe and said, "And you, Maiden. Don't forget your words so soon?"Zoe's expression darkened as she shuddered.Meanwhile, Bart immediately bent the knee on the floor with a loud thud. Then, he said in a bitter vo
Bart was completely stunned. "Sir, that's not what you said earlier! You gave explicit orders that…""What orders?" The voice coming from the other side was grim. "Do you understand what I'm telling you? Do as I tell you right now. Other than letting them know, I don't care whether you must cry or beg; you must gain the Xaviers' forgiveness. "Remember. If you fail, I'll kill all your family! This is not just my personal order but the collective will of the entire Second Caste. You must gain their forgiveness even if you were to sacrifice your own life!"After Mr. Garcia roared back at Bart, he angrily hung up. Obviously, there was pent-up anger in him, making him very furious and agitated. Unfortunately, it seemed that he could not resist it. That was why, even if he did not want to, all he could do was follow Mr. Garcia's orders.What happened?Bart, Zoe, and the others could not react as their eyes were fixed on the phone on the table. Their expressions were completely frozen.
"Tsk. Didn't you say you just gave a call to the Empire? That's our suzerain! If there's really someone on top of the pyramid speaking on your behalf, we all had to obey!" Bart said, his words were spiteful once more."Maybe you should give her a call again? Tell her that the Second Caste is very scared, waiting for her to come and punish us. Or maybe, your phone is out of credit? Do you need more money to pay for your credits?" Bart then pulled out a 20-dollar bill and threw it at Harvey. What Bart just did made all the people from Country I laugh even more arrogantly.Zoe could not be bothered to waste her time anymore. Instead, she extended her foot before Harvey, signaling Harvey to kneel and lick the sole of her heel quickly. Otherwise, someone from the Xaviers would have to die again if time was up.Buzz…As the mockery climaxed, Bart's phone started to vibrate. Everyone instantly looked at him. Bart was also stunned and glanced at the screen of his phone. Then, he gave Harve
"What? Don't tell me the Victoria you called just now was actually Princess Victoria from the Empire? I suppose you must have gotten what you wanted if you could talk to her directly. I wonder what kind of orders she gave us? Did she tell us to be on our knees right now or tomorrow?" A smirk appeared on Zoe's face the moment Harvey hung up. She looked at Harvey as if she was looking at a clown running a circus."Oh, right, I need to remind you. In one hour, we will kill another member of the Xavier family. If she only contacts us after a long time, then the Xaviers will all die," said Zoe as she folded her arms in front of her chest and slowly approached Harvey. Then, she leaned closer to Harvey and said, "And here I'm looking forward to falling on my knees and calling you Daddy. So please, you better give me this chance."At this time, Zoe acted so seductively. If it were not because everyone here knew that Zoe and Harvey were enemies, some might even think that Harvey and Zoe might
"Seems like you didn't change at all, Maiden. You still wouldn't give up until your final moments," Harvey stepped forward and glanced at Zoe. She might look stern on the outside, but she was already shaken inside."You know full well that if I could give you the money all this time, it would mean that I have the evidence. Maybe the Second Caste didn't care about the betrayal and continued to use you because you have some value. But the moment I show all this evidence on the internet, a sinner like you will make everyone remember everything."Perhaps the First Caste, who is at a disadvantage right now, could use this as an initiative and retaliate. That's why if I were you, I would immediately turn tail and leave, then think of a way to convince the Second Caste to stop instead of wasting your breath here."Zoe smiled coldly. "You can stop threatening me now, Harvey. I confessed everything to my higher-ups a long time ago. So what if you can reveal all the evidence you have? It mean
Bart coughed out a mouthful of blood after being slapped. Even a few teeth were in the blood as he looked completely out of his element. He wanted to stand up and fight against Harvey until the end, but he finally discovered that his arrogance and power meant nothing before Harvey."Harvey! You've crossed a line!" Zoe finally could not sit still and threw the cup she held onto the floor. Then, she pointed his finger at Harvey and yelled, "Do you even know what you're doing? Don't you know we have hundreds of hostages? Do you think we're still fighting in an arena in Flutwell?"So what if you can fight? So what if you're the representative? The Second Caste succeeded in a military coup! We have millions of soldiers and countless weapons! No matter how powerful you are, do you think they're more powerful than modern firearms? Regardless of your influence, do you think it's enough to suppress a country? No matter how rich you are, can you buy the entire Country I?"I'm warning you now,
