“You brought an entire group of people to surround the garden villa, ruined the Lord Badge, and acted without restraint, but they are still fine.”“If you followed the procedure or even gave me a call beforehand, you would’ve been fine.“I definitely would’ve allowed you to keep going.“If you acted a little more civilized and stopped using such barbaric ways to do things…“I wouldn’t have said a word.“But you treated the Sentries of York, whom I respected for so many years, as a trump card to abuse your power.“You’re destroying the organization that I brought up for so long…“You truly disappoint me, Julian.”Marcel York looked at Julian York with pity.Julian seemed quite hesitant at this moment.At this moment, all the elites looked at each other before slamming their knees to the ground.“We were wrong! Please give us your punishment, Lord York!”Julian’s eyes were frantically twitching after seeing all of his subordinates kneel.He knew that if he kneeled in front o
“If you want to play games, I’ll play with you.“The five bullets that were removed represent respect of the five houses of the Yorks.“The last bullet is a statement for a man and a husband.“From now on, it’s all up to fate!”Marcel York then placed the revolver barrel against Julian York’s right shoulder.Soon after, he calmly pulled the trigger.Bang!With the sound of a loud gunshot, Julian trembled before his entire body was sent flying by a great force.The moment he slammed onto the ground, his body kept trembling incessantly. He wanted to scream in pain but barely held the urge behind his teeth.Julian was really unlucky, immediately taking a bullet on the first shot.Harvey showed a profound look as he glanced at Marcel.Admittedly, the lord of the Yorks was really quite capable, and he had an imposing aura surrounding him as well.Julian could not stop squirming on the ground. He wanted to crawl back up but could only struggle like a dying dog because of his two
“Number one, from now on, Abel York will be in charge of the Sentries of York. The original person in charge will be sent to the Law Enforcement of the Yorks for trial.“Number two, the Yorks’ garden villa will be listed as a forbidden area. Without my command, anybody who dares to set foot here will be killed on sight.“Number three, as the head of the Law Enforcement of Longmen, Harvey York is now an important guest here. His status is on par with mine.“Whoever goes against Harvey, goes against me!“Kill whoever tries to provoke him!”Marcel York then shifted his gaze toward Harvey, showing a hint of admiration.Harvey looked deep into Marcel’s eyes before showing a warm smile.“Thank you for your generosity, Lord York.”Harvey believed that this man must have known about the things he did in Hong Kong and Las Vegas recently.Even though he knew, he still gave Harvey an important title. This was his way of representing his stance.Margot Patel, the woman carrying the umbre
“I’m alright.”Selena Judd looked back at Marcel York with her brightly lit eyes. After a moment, a hint of regret was showing on her face.“I had let you down for the past ten years…“Because of our child, I’ve been depressed the entire time, but I had never considered your feelings.“You had sacrificed so much just to protect me.“And because of our child’s death, I didn’t want to have another one. That’s why Grandma York’s forcing you to accept that cheap son, Vince York!“Vince acquired so much power within the family because of this, putting you at so much risk now…“It’s my fault that you got to this point.”Marcel froze after hearing Selena’s words. He did not expect that his miserable wife could actually understand his troubles.His subordinates told him that Harvey York was able to cure Selena’s sickness. It seemed like that was the truth after all.After all, Marcel used so much of his connections to hire experts from all around the world to cure Selena’s sickness…
While Selena Judd was proposing the idea to Marcel York…In a secluded villa in Hong Kong’s outer ring.Lexie York jumped out of bed after hearing her ringing phone. After picking up the call, her expression instantly changed.She ran out of her room and knocked on Vince York’s door with a horrible look on her face.“This is bad!“Julian York was taken down!“When he went to kill the killer, he fought with the people in the garden villa!“That b*stard, Harvey York, was there too! Not only did he slap Julian in the face, he completely humiliated him!“Marcel even came back at such a crucial time!“He crippled Julian’s right hand himself!“He dismissed Julian and took him to the Law Enforcement of the Yorks for questioning!“Selena’s trusted subordinate, Abel York, is now in charge of the Sentries of York.“Harvey became Marcel’s VIP and has the same status as him now! If anyone goes against him, they’ll be killed off without mercy!“We can’t just sit here and do nothing, Vi
“I did give the order to Julian York.“But I only did it for the safety of the higher-ups, and that’s why I want the killer questioned.“That killer tried to assassinate Selena Judd!“As the young lord of the family, they can charge me for acting on my own accord at such a crucial time. Other than that, they can’t accuse me of anything!“I didn’t ask Julian to go against Selena, nor did I get the Sentries of York to do whatever they please!”Vince York sipped his water with a calm look on his face.“Besides, according to the intel I received, the killer was already dead!“Selena and Harvey came up with the rumors to dig a hole for me.“They didn’t expect that they’d get Julian instead…”Lexie froze. This was exactly what she was worried about, but what was there to worry about if there was nothing to be accused of?Vince chuckled before playing a video that his subordinate sent.In the video, the killer was being buried.Lexie finally let out a sigh of relief after seeing t
After hearing Vince York’s confident words, Lexie York smiled from ear to ear.She stretched her body and chuckled.“So, we don’t have to do anything right now, is what you’re saying? We’re just going to sit back as Third and Fourth Brother fight to the death?”“No. There’s something that needs our attention,” Vince replied while showing a warm smile.“No matter what, I was the one who ordered Julian York to detain the killer.“I’d have to take responsibility for what happened to him.“If I do nothing, the third house will surely have opinions about me.“That said, I don’t think there’s a need to save him either…“Sometimes, it’s better just to put on a good show. Let them know that I did my best.“After all, putting on a good show is the easiest thing to do in the entire world, don’t you think?“I do want to see how strong this Lord York is when he goes up against the completely fractured Yorks of Hong Kong…“If he lets Julian go after we plead for him, what’s the point of
At the Yorks’ garden villa.Because of the series of incidents that happened last night, Selena Judd was worried about Harvey York’s safety. She forced him to stay inside the garden villa for the time being.Harvey rejected the offer but to no avail.After all, compared to the cold and desolate place like the Three Seasons Hotel, the garden villa at least felt a bit human.Besides, Harvey had a feeling that what had just happened was just an opening show.He had no intention to leave. He wanted to see everything to its end.After waking up, he checked his phone for emails.George Zabel sent over some new information all the way from Mordu.According to his intel, Mandy Zimmer rose to power within Mordu, but her position was quite unstable.To ensure the stability of her people and be respected by the higher-ups of the Jean family, she had been doing her best.Harvey was relieved to hear about Mandy’s growth and was also quite worried about how hard she had been working.But
"Treason! This is treason!" Joven roared as he immediately assigned a crime to Harvey. "It's true the Country H Martial Arts Alliance's Representative is always the mayor of Grand City, but they must first go through all the necessary procedures first as well as obtaining the support of the Seven Families!"At most, you're just a candidate. You're not really the mayor of the Grand City! You're already calling yourself the mayor of this city before you have even become one, and you're even challenging the Peacekeeping Agency's authority! If you're really going to do this by the book, I can assure you that the Peacekeeping Agency will not vote you in!"And now, I will arrest you for treason!"Joven waved his hand, and the uniformed officers from the agency pulled out their repeating crossbows. From how aggressive they were, it was obvious that they were going to take Harvey down—even kill him."If I want to become the mayor of Grand City, I don't need anyone's agreement, and I don't
"You're the one that needs calcium! Our backbone is fine, thank you very much!" The short-haired woman was enraged. "Do you think someone narrow-minded like you can get cocky just because of a small victory? Do you know how powerful Sky Plane is? Do you know how weak you are? You're so narrow-minded! Forget about the strongest Origin Fist student, Mark, you can't even beat me! I'm telling you right now, you better…"Before she could even finish, Harvey frowned and immediately slapped her away. She was too noisy, and she wasted everyone's time!There was only silence when they saw Harvey slap the woman away.The Peacekeeping Agency in Grand City was in a unique position. They stood outside the normal hierarchy. Not only did they represent the will of the seven families, but they also represented the authority within Grand City.While many criticized Joven for becoming the spokesperson for Sky Plane, many would still fervently support him no matter where he went. Other than havin
"Don't you know what laws you have broken?" Joven snorted coldly, his face filled with arrogance. "Harvey, there's no need for you to act this way."Harvey's expression was cold. "I'm new to Grand City so I don't understand much about your so-called laws, but I'm also not interested in knowing them. But since you said I broke the law, as the Chief of the Peacekeeping Agency, you need to explain it to me, right?"Before Joven could say anything, the short-haired woman cut in coldly, "Harvey York. You intentionally targeted Sky Plane, a fine neighbor to Grand City. You intentionally used something as shameless as calling the Islanders weaklings to start a conflict between Country H and the Island Nation."You wanted to start a war between the two nations because of your personal vendetta. This is your crime…and an unpardonable one! Does it feel good when you put on the banner calling the Islanders weaklings? Do you think you're brilliant because you managed to defeat the practitioners
Harvey didn't react too much when he saw the man wearing the gray robe. However, Rachel was on high alert and stood next to Harvey with a frown. When Harvey noted what she was doing, he asked interestedly, "You know who this man is?""From the information I've gathered last night, this man is one of the persons in charge of Grand City's Peacekeeping Agency, Joven Greene. He's responsible for keeping the peace between the seven families. He's not that strong, but he represents the will of the seven families."When he handles the disputes between those from the Grand City and outsiders, he's usually very decisive. It's said that his relationship with the Islanders is quite good. Not only have they offered him several women, but they have also given him plenty of money and resources."The Island Nation must have pressured him regarding the matter of the cloth. It's normal to use such a relationship at a critical time…"After hearing what Rachel had to say about Joven, Harvey had s
After what had happened, the Dragon Gate training hall once again became Grand City's topic of conversation. The Islanders, other than gaining the title of being weaklings, also gained the reputation of being shameless.In just a few short hours, news of everything disgusting the Islanders did today quickly spread throughout Grand City. Anyone in Grand City with a conscience knew who to protect at a time like this.The Islanders, known for their haughtiness, became extremely unwelcome in Grand City. They didn't have any standards at all when taking actions and didn't even care about their reputation.Meanwhile, the Peacekeeping Agency was getting a headache as well. They had no choice but to increase their manpower and stop the Islanders from doing whatever they wanted after causing such a huge commotion. At the same time, they also asked Harvey to take the cloth down.Harvey didn't mind it much. The cloth in front of the training hall could be easily removed, but the resentment th
Everyone's eyes were on Harvey, wanting to see how he would solve this problem. The boy even gave Harvey a middle finger before hooking it, provoking him.Harvey simply looked at the boy curiously while enjoying his coffee, as if the boy was a clown. He could tell that the boy had trained in the Empty Hands Technique for a bit…and he really meant a little bit.If Harvey really did make his move, the boy would die instantly. Should that happen, things would become even more complicated. This was a truly despicable scheme. The Islanders' plots were just as appalling as ever.Harvey felt fortunate that he already knew that the Islanders' schemes could be quite vicious, so he had already made the necessary preparations.When the Islander with the mustache saw that Harvey didn't plan to attack nor kneel to surrender, he scoffed. "Are you scared? Or are you surrendering? Say something! Otherwise, attack! Do you think you're an ostrich and you can just hide your head in the sand? You ar
As he said that, the Islander switched on his phone and started streaming the event. It was obvious he wanted to see how Harvey was going to react to this.If Harvey agreed to fight ten warriors in one go, then the people he had arranged would swarm him and kill Harvey.If Harvey refused, then he would verbally humiliate Harvey.In other words, he had made full preparations for today.Harvey calmly drank a cup of tea and clapped. Rachel, who was fully prepared, walked from the back of the crowd. She turned on her phone and played a video clip on the TV screen. In the clip, it was obvious that Hale was the one who claimed Harvey could fight ten to one, not Harvey."What? Since when must our representative bear responsibility for something he has never said? If someone said he can fight 100 to 1 suddenly, should he fight a hundred men at the same time?" Rachel said.While fighting ten to one was something simple to Harvey, he wasn't interested in being involved in a plot the Island
Once Harvey was at the Dragon Gate training hall, he narrowed his eyes.A huge crowd was right outside the entrance of the training hall. He counted at least a thousand of them with just a glance.They were all either martial arts elites or mutants. None of them were normal human beings.Of course, these people were mostly here to watch the show.There were also plenty of Islander men and women in their traditional summer garbs. All of them looked quite eager. Harvey could tell from first glance that they were either from Sky Plane or had the right to enter Grand City due to being at the top of the social pyramid in the Island Nation. All of them were filled with anger and resentment after Harvey chided them as weaklings. They were here to try and reclaim their dignity.When Harvey appeared, all of them instantly turned around. The anger within their eyes is apparent."Harvey York! Are you sure you want to go your own way? You're quite brave to challenge the entire Island Natio
"Dominating the Veiled Sanctuary?" Harvey asked Alexei curiously.Alexei scoffed. "Many years ago, a prodigy was born in the Veiled Sanctuary. He was said to be just a servant born into a small family. However, his powers grew exponentially after he accidentally learned martial arts."He became a King of Arms when he was 18, and then a True Warrior at 22. After that, he secretly stole the martial arts techniques from all the schools and mastered them. Finally, when he was 30 years old, he created his own martial art technique that had never appeared in the Veiled Sanctuary—the Technique of Elephants and Dragons."It's said that those trained in this technique can possess the power of ten elephants and ten dragons. They can forcefully tear apart space itself and step into the void, reaching unity between Man and Nature. Unfortunately, he has too little influence in Veiled Sanctuary. He stole too many secrets from the different schools, causing him to offend the higher-ups."In the
