At Victoria Harbor, Vince’s phone suddenly rang as soon as he sat in his office.His expression changed repeatedly after he picked up the call. After some time, a horrible expression settled on his face.“What’s going on? Did the assassination fail as well?” Lexie said, frowning.Vince’s face darkened in an instant.“Not just that, but the killer from the House of Phantoms was caught alive too.”“I was informed that the killer’s unconscious right now. They haven’t got anything out just yet.”“Selena already gave Lord York a call, so he’ll dispatch a few interrogation experts.”“If anything goes according to their plan, they’ll connect the dots to us sooner or later.”“Even if there’s no solid proof, it’ll affect my plans badly.”“The rumors might just stop me from rising to power.”Vince couldn’t help but rub his temples in displeasure. He never expected things would become this troublesome.His plans to kill Harvey failed. On top of that, Selena was still alive as well.At
The so-called Sentries of York was quite similar to a law enforcement agency within the Yorks of Hong Kong. Or rather, it was an organization that focused on violence.Not only was it in charge of protecting the important figures within the family, but it was also responsible for dealing with the dangers within the family’s inner circle.Simply put, the Sentries of York are in charge of doing proper jobs…But they also had to do all the dirty work.To maintain the organization’s combat strength, every single member would have to fight on battlefields outside the country’s borders for half a year.They were highly dangerous, with every single one of them possessing unimaginable strength. Ordinary bodyguards of the Yorks could never come close to them.A fierce-looking man with slickback hair and clad in a white suit led about fifty Sentries of York to the entrance of the villa.Harvey, who had never left since the morning, stood in front of the gate and watched them with eyes fil
However, Harvey stood right in front of the entrance and blocked Julian’s path.Julian glared coldly at Harvey, frowning.“I don’t care who you are.”“I don’t care where you come from, either.”“Good dogs don’t bite.”“Now move!”Harvey didn’t get angry even after hearing Julian’s arrogant tone. He glanced at Julian with a faint smile, full of interest.“You don’t know who I am?”“You’re the one who stopped Dean from killing your master Akio behind the Taiping Mountain’s forbidden area, right?”“You’re clearly his servant, judging from how you prevented Akio from dying.”“And now you pretend you don’t know me?”“Is there a point to all this charade?”Julian grew utterly enraged at Harvey’s taunts.“Shut up!”Julian only took action and helped Akio to repay a favor to Vince, similar to what he was doing right now.Alas, he never imagined he would be thoroughly exposed by Harvey after trying so hard to conceal his identity.It was Julian’s first time meeting Harvey, but h
“What? You’re unhappy with this?”Harvey took a step forward and tapped Julian’s face a few times.“If you’re unhappy, kill me already!”“Do you have the guts for that?”Julian’s eyes kept twitching at Harvey’s look of indifference.He couldn’t hold back his urge and pulled out his firearm before placing it right on Harvey’s forehead.“Shut up, Harvey!”“Let me tell you something…”“This is the Yorks’ turf!”“In our turf, you do as we say! It doesn’t matter who the f*ck you are!”“You don’t have the right to show off here!”“I don’t care if the killer injured you, nor do I care if you’re planning to question her!”“I’m only asking you this: are you handing her to us or not?!”“If not, then don’t blame me when you end up dead!”“I know you can fight, but can you defend yourself against all these guns?!”About fifty Sentries of York immediately pointed their firearms right at Harvey.They would turn Harvey into mincemeat once Julian gave the order.Harvey stood calmly, h
The Sentries of York were filled with both horror and disbelief. Meanwhile, Julian was beside himself with rage.He waved his hand furiously as he let out a cold laugh.“Since Harvey won’t show us respect, we’ll just detain him!”“Kill anyone who tries to resist!”The sentries twitched their eyes slightly at the order. They were terrified, but they had to move nevertheless.They pointed their firearms at every single weak point on Harvey’s body.They were slowly approaching Harvey, as if they were scared that Harvey would suddenly fight back and kill them in an instant.“Did I say that you could move?” Harvey asked, nonchalant, as he took a step forward.Even just a few simple movements from him were filled with unimaginable pressure.A strong aura could be felt crushing the entire sky, forcing the sentries a little closer to the ground.It felt as if their act of pointing firearms at the man before them was utter blasphemy.Julian’s expression worsened after seeing his subo
Julian’s eyes twitched slightly. He seemed to have realized this fact as well.He immediately held his anger back and spat coldly, “True, Selena is the lady of the family. But if I remember correctly, she had already revoked her authority ten years ago because of the loss of her child.”“If you want to prove that we broke the rules, you’d have to prove that she’s still the so-called Lady Judd first and not just some sick woman.”“I knew you wouldn’t give up that easily.”Harvey smiled before waving at Abel.Abel froze for a moment. Then, he brought a golden badge and placed it in Harvey’s hand.Harvey slammed the badge into Julian’s face with all his might.“Open your eyes and look closely!”“This is the Lord Badge! Your lord gave this to his wife!”“This badge alone represents the lord himself!”“Now, how are we going to punish you for going against your superiors?”“You think you can just waltz out of here with the killer and raze the garden villa?”“Let me tell you somet
Harvey’s tone sounded quite calm, but it had enough power to pressure everyone on sight. The elites were terrified to take a step forward, let alone pull the trigger.No one doubted Harvey’s strength at that very moment.After all, he was able to kill off Miyata. It wouldn’t be hard for him to deal with Julian, who had only trained to use firearms and not martial arts.Julian finally came to his senses when he was pinned to the ground.His eyes kept twitching, and his face was twisted in an ugly look. He didn’t expect Harvey to actually be this crazy.The man was clearly at a disadvantage, but he still dared to smack Julian in the face!On top of that, Harvey kicked Julian straight to the ground!Julian stared directly into Harvey’s eyes.‘No wonder a powerful man like Vince is scared of this guy…’‘It’s not that he fell out of power. This man is just too domineering!’Julian was certain that even the princes and young masters from Country H wouldn’t even dare act this way!
Murderous intent spread all over the place.The sentries’ faces were fierce, and they looked ready to take action at any moment.Julian’s face had completely lost all color. He barely managed to stop himself from screaming.A wretched smile hung on the corners of his mouth.“You’ve got guts, Prince York!”“You dare break my hand?!”“That’s the only thing you dare to do, anyway!”“You can’t kill me!”“Do you know what that means?”“It means you’re scared!”“You can’t play this game with me!”“Let me tell you something: if you have the guts, kill me right now!”“If not, I’ll definitely bite you back!”“I’ll grab the killer after that!”“You can see for yourself if you have any other choice!”A crazed smile played on Julian’s lips.His hand was clearly broken, but his twisted expression made it as if he was high on drugs. Harvey narrowed his eyes at Julian. He had to admit that the guy in front of him was quite capable. A bit insane, too.Louis from the Four Masters of
"Enough. There's no point staying here. This place is cold and lifeless. Let's return to Wolsing. We can have something hot together. I also have something I want to talk with you about," Samuel said as he patted Harvey's shoulder. Then, Samuel wanted to take Harvey with him."Nah," Harvey suddenly said. "I need to send Mandy back home first. Maybe over a cup of tea with milk to warm her body and stop her from shaking. We can go out another time."Everyone was stunned after they heard what Harvey had just said. How could Harvey reject an invitation from someone important like Samuel? Just… Who was he?But before they could even recover, Neve suddenly grabbed a hand crossbow from one of her followers and pointed it toward Harvey. It was clear that she was still upset. The madness on her face was tinged by vengefulness and pain as she shouted, "I know you're more important than any of us, Mr. Samuel! I know someone like you can ignore all the laws in this world! But where's justice in
It was obvious that Lanny had no choice but to say that. Since if she did not do that, not only would she ruin the Bennett family's reputation, but the entire Grand City's reputation would also be tarnished.""Oh, right. You're called Lanny? And you're threatening me with your predecessor? Are you from White Peak by any chance?" Samuel asked curiously.Lanny gritted her teeth and replied, "That's right. I'm from White Peak, one of the Seven Families of Grand City."Samuel smirked and said, "I have dueled Ares Bennett three times, and he lost to me three times. If I wanted to, I could have slain him immediately the last time if I wanted to. That's why Ares has to call me Mr. Samuel whenever he sees me on the street and listens to me. You're just a greenhorn from White Peak… And you're pretending to be something special before me?"Samuel did not bother showing Lanny any respect. "Not to mention, everyone here has a good head on their shoulders. What really happened and what the trut
"It's all a misunderstanding, Mr. Samuel!" said Lanny with a darkened expression."But just now, I heard something about fighting to the last man, and there were so many weapons being used here that were targeted against martial artists. Are you telling me there's a misunderstanding? Do I look like a fool?" Samuel gave a cold smile and waved his hand.A formless wave of energy instantly rolled against Lanny's men. Lanny and the others were shocked and used everything they could to block this attack, which took them by surprise.But it was useless.In just an instant, all the Grand City's youths did everything they could, but all of them had to take three steps back as they coughed out a mouthful of blood.Some distance away, some men with longbows and crossbows also grunted as they fell to the ground.In just a simple attack, the Forbidden Wasteland's defenses instantly crumbled.Perhaps this was what they meant by invincibility.No one from Grand City dared stand beside Harvey
The man who came wore a white robe with a cold expression. He looked around and spoke clearly, "I heard someone say my young master has committed murder. I'm here to see if any evidence and witnesses are saying so. If I find any of them are fake, I'll slay those and their families who claim so!"He said it casually, like an old man making a comment while sweeping the streets. However, everyone here could feel their heart skipping a beat.There was only silence.Even Ethan's gaze froze for a moment. That was because he sensed an aura from the old man, which was extremely close to the chief instructor.He was an elite!As for the rest of those from Grand City, they were all stunned. The old man was able to hover in the air. This could only be done when one had become one with nature! Could it be that other elites who were not from the Grand City had reached the same level?Even Lanny, who boasted that a great power supported her, could not help but watch, her expression pale and in
"You are really quite impressive, Ethan. But do you dare to go against the Ministry of Defense's orders openly? I suggest you better give your great elder a call. Or maybe wait for him to call you!" Lanny said as if she had gotten an ace in a hole."I'm worried that you'll accidentally cause a chain effect and lose everything," Ethan coldly replied as he stared at Lanny with a similar coldness in his eyes. To him, none of his leaders could compare with the importance of the chief instructor. But the problem was, he could not inform the great elder why he did this. That was why even someone resolute like Ethan could not help but frown.However, his expression quickly returned calm. "Looks like Grand City isn't as powerful. Not only can you do nothing to me, but you even have to use your favors and connections from the past to stop me. And now, I'm even more convinced that Mr. Harvey is innocent! So, my apologies, but tonight, I don't care who calls me… I'm not going to stop!"Then, E
"You have reasons?" There was fury in Lanny's eyes. "Then tell me, what reasons are they?"Ethan seemed disdainful. "With your status? You don't have the right to know what the reasons are."He did not make that up, though. Lanny really did not have the authority to know Harvey's actual status. "Alright, let's not waste our time. Tell your people to put down your weapons, raise their hands, and squat over there. All my friends here are very impatient. If both sides went into conflict and accidentally killed a few people…"Well. It's going to be categorized as a training exercise accident. We don't have to bear any responsibility for it."Ethan's words were calm, as if everything he said made total and natural sense."Ethan!" Lanny shuddered in anger. "Grand City and the Ministry of Defense have always kept a respectful distance from each other. Are you going to make Grand City your enemy just for this man over here? Have you considered the consequences and whether it was worth it?
Grand City was outside the usual system within Country H. However, the truth was that it was a place where all the Sacred Training Grounds congregated together. Whether it was Country H in its current form or when all the other dynasties ruled it, it had always been an untouchable faction.Not to mention that they were protected by the Seven Families as well as the other Sacred Training Grounds. If they decided to fight, the power Grand City could call upon could far surpass what others could have imagined.That was why Lanny believed they had a fighting chance even when they faced the legendary Sword Camp."Grand City's reputation really does precede itself. And you're really quite impressive yourself," Ethan said as he clapped his hands. "If it's someone else, they would be kneeling on the ground shuddering, right? Unfortunately, you forgot that we survived on real battlefields. We do not fear death. Besides the Chief Instructor, every soldier in this camp is a King of Arms! Even
Harvey slightly frowned. He was shocked that Ethan had arrived. He even brought 500 soldiers from the Sword Camp. Was he attempting to destroy the entire Forbidden Wasteland?The 500 soldiers immediately encircled the entire Forbidden Wasteland as Harvey calmly watched how things developed. All of them had a sword by their waist, and their right hand was at the hilt. While they had not pulled out their swords yet, they were exuding a malevolent aura around them.Harvey had trained each of them, and they had all gone to war with him in the past. When they saw that Harvey was completely unharmed, they were both filled with excitement and relief. However, because of their orders, none of them went to salute him."So, this is the famous Forbidden Wasteland of World City. It was said that the people who were imprisoned here could never leave. I wonder if the Sword Camp can leave this place in one piece?"Ethan, who was in his military uniform, jumped off from the helicopter in mid-air.
Harvey narrowed his eyes as he looked at Lanny. There was only disdain in his eyes. "You said that you're doing everything by your law… But in truth, you simply want to make things worse. Despite looking like an agent of justice right now, what is happening right now is what you wanted the most."I'm the representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance, which makes me the mayor of Grand City in name. Whether you want to interrogate or set me up, all of you must consider the consequences of your actions. But what if I was the one that did it first? That would give you a reason to attack me, right?"I have to admit that it indeed worked in your favor, Lanny. But it also showed me the truth about Grand City! Rules and laws that have existed since ancient times? All of them were jokes and excuses!"Blade listened to Harvey with a dark expression, as if his beliefs were challenged. Meanwhile, Lanny remained calm. She breathed deeply and gave a cold reply, "Stop wasting your breath, Ha
