An hour later. In the side hall of the John family’s manor, a handsome-looking man in a suit kicked Butler John ruthlessly to the ground.“Did Ansel really say that?”“Who gave him the courage?!”“Does he think he can do whatever he wants here just because he can fight?”“Did he forget that my uncle crippled his father with just a single move?!”“Does he think he can control the John family just because he’s the director of the Flutwell Police Station?!”“Ignorant fool!”The handsome man revealed an extremely cold expression.He was none other than the young master of the family, Elliot John!Dahlia was his sister.After hearing about the incident last night, Elliot had already planned to deal with the situation for his sister and reclaim the family’s dignity in the process. He didn’t care who was in the wrong at all.And so, he ordered the Northsea Tigers to take action. With Butler John, who had always done his job flawlessly accompanying them, Elliot thought it would be e
An elderly man in his fifties walked forward with crossed arms.The man was the head of the John family, Gavin John.He was Elliot’s father, and also the brother of the Golden Palace’s top talent.“Ansel means nothing.”“Even if he’s a God of War, he’s still no match for the Golden Palace.”“However, the Head Coach is not to be trifled with!”“We won’t talk about the Euro-American battle, but the one after—the first world war in the middle east.”“Because of the Head Coach, the Gods of War from other countries didn’t dare to step inside the borders of Country H. This alone should be enough to prove just how scary that man is.”“Before making sure of the Torres family’s relationship with that man…”“It won’t be wise to go against them right now.”“Let Ansel protect Harvey as he pleases.”“Why go against a man with such great support for someone you don’t even know?”Gavin looked bitterly at Elliot.“Next time, use your head instead of your emotions. Stop saying these stupid
Elliot John was enraged when he thought about an outsider completely disrespecting the John family.After all, he was on par with the three young masters from the Bauer family.He would rather die than be disrespected like this!That was why he was filled with rage after hearing about the incident.Gavin Bauer chuckled before patting Elliot’s shoulder.“Calm down.“Since Ansel Torres said he wanted to protect Harvey York, we’ll have to pay him some respect along with the people supporting him.“We won’t lay a finger on Harvey.“But that doesn’t mean other people won’t do it!“Harvey turned Freddy Garcia into a vegetable. He was the Celestial Temple’s top talent!“Tell me, if he was actually dead instead…“Will the Indians, who had constantly been suffering against Harvey, be able just to sit still?”Gavin showed a playful look as he explained the situation to Elliot.True upperclassmen should not just chase for what’s right ahead of them.They need to see it from a broade
Nine o’clock at night, at Flutwell People’s Hospital.Harvey York brought some fruits that he had picked before visiting Mandy Zimmer.After all, it was his own wife that had gotten injured. It was only natural for him to be this diligent.Lilian Yates could not stand Harvey, but he understood just how she would behave. Whenever he visited Mandy, he would always bring a huge check just to seal Lilian’s mouth shut. Lilian was a merciless woman, but it was good that she could let anything slide in the name of money. Harvey was able to keep his sanity during his visits because of this.After having a small chat with Mandy, Harvey left the fruits and walked away since he did not want to disturb Mandy’s rest.Because of the epidemic, Harvey carefully put on a face mask and reminded Mandy and Lilian not to leave the sick room so they would not get infected.When Harvey was going downstairs, the dedicated elevator opened.A doctor with a white coat and a face mask came out with a car
The doctor cracked a smile when the Indians started questioning him.“Don’t panic, everyone. I have my identification right here.“Please have a look.”The doctor brought out a laptop and handed it over to the Indians.The Indians let out sighs of relief after seeing the doctor’s actions. They were fully convinced that the doctor was legitimate.But the moment the Indians let their guard down, the doctor waved his hands, dropping every single can and bottle from the cart.A pungent smell slowly wafted after a small explosion was heard.The few Indians in front had no time to react to the situation. As soon as they inhaled the gas, they immediately fell to the ground while white foam came out of their mouths.The rest of the Indians changed their expressions before pulling their firearms out.“Don’t move!”“Who the hell are you?!”The doctor kept a straight face while hearing the threat. He waved his hands before scalpels flew right out from his sleeves.“Aaagh!”Screams of
But as soon as the doctor sat in the driver’s seat, his body froze.A scalpel was placed on his throat all of a sudden.“Good evening…”Harvey York poked his head out before showing a faint smile.When the doctor saw Harvey’s face, he could not react to the situation. He did not expect that he would meet the actual person.He quickly tried to reach inside his armrest for his firearm, but his body froze again after Harvey put some force into the scalpel.“That’s no good…Harvey smiled.“If you’re going to imitate me, at least try a little harder. I wouldn’t pull out a firearm that hastily.”The doctor showed a cold gaze in his eyes.“I didn’t want to kill you…“But now that you’re here…“I have no choice but to send you off.”“Send me off?” asked Harvey with a smile.“I’m the one with the upper hand here.“I don’t care about you killing Freddy…“But it’d be bad if you’re making me take the blame.”Harvey saw the entire operation but did not try to stop it. After all, he
While Harvey York was asking Kayden Balmer’s help to accompany the doctor…At the John family’s house.Gavin Bauer was calmly sipping his tea.There were a few documents with information about Harvey, Joseph Bauer, and the Indians in his hand.After planning his schemes to deal with Harvey, he got someone to investigate all those people for him.He was quite surprised by the information he had gotten at that moment.He did not realize that Harvey had constantly been disrespecting the Indians and Joseph since he arrived in Flutwell.It was only natural for the John family to be at a disadvantage going against him.After all, the outsider, Harvey, was quite an enigmatic man.Right as Gavin was scheming with more plans, Elliot John walked in with a thin and long cigar in his mouth. He seemed pretty delighted at that moment.“We did it!“We did it, Father!Elliot was utterly excited.“We just got word! Freddy Garcia’s dead! That b*stard, Harvey, killed him!“The Indians there
Elliot John nodded lightly.“Don’t worry, Father! I’ve made every arrangement!”“Right. Can we trust the killer we sent out?” Gavin Bauer asked.“It’s fine! I also have arranged his escape!“He’ll leave the borders with one hundred and fifty million dollars when he’s done! He’ll be a wealthy man somewhere else!“With so many benefits waiting for him, there’s no chance he’d sell us out!” said Elliot with a confident look.Gavin nodded before leaving the place, but he turned around while squinting his eyes before he did.“I’ve been teaching you this all the time, Elliot!“We can only trust the dead!”Elliot froze before showing a faint smile.“I told you, Father. I have already made the arrangements.“The wealthy man will pass away in an accident soon enough.”***While the father and son were planning out their move, Kayden Balmer arrived.After giving him the hostage and telling him to get everything out of the doctor, Harvey York gave Ansel Torres a call.Harvey did not
None of the elites from Earth Hall had a problem with Wenzel's words. They all kneeled on the ground and said, "We understand the gravity of our crimes. We accept our punishment!"Meanwhile, Silvan's eye twitched as he forced a smile. "You're mistaken, Mayor! You've been away and didn't return in the past decade. You probably don't know what's happening in Grand City. Please listen to my explanation. I'm sure you'll be happy with it."Silvan was no fool. He knew very well that tonight, he might be made an example of if he wasn't careful. He had no choice but to choose to surrender so that he wouldn't be killed with one slap.Harvey said nothing but simply looked at what was happening without much interest. The others might be afraid of Wenzel, but he didn't feel anything."Grand City's current situation? Isn't it just someone wanting to hijack my authority while I'm away?" Wenzel said softly, but his words were frightening. "If I return any later, would you have a new mayor already
Rumble…The gigantic helicopter slowly landed on a platform right outside the entrance of the Foster Residence. The door slid open, and dozens of men in white robes walked out. Their faces were cold, as if they were machines or puppets. When they walked out, it was difficult to tell if they were even humans.Among the group, several men and women wearing masks could be seen among the men. While they weren't that eye-catching, they seemed to be surrounded by a formless, subtle aura of awe.Harvey gave them a look, and he could tell these men and women were extremely powerful. They were all elites at the level of True Warriors. All he could say was that Grand City was indeed very well established.A woman wearing Givenchy's exclusive collection and frameless glasses slowly walked out before standing aside, making way for a middle-aged man wearing a traditional garb. The man had a powerful figure and a handsome face. The outfit he was wearing was quite old, with a few patches here and
"Forget being on your knees and begging me, you're even threatening me," Harvey patted Silvan's face with the Absolute Decree. "Do you really think I wouldn't dare to kill you?""If you do, you wouldn't be wasting your breath now!" Silvan said with a cold smile, his expression brutal. "I'm warning you… You had better return the Absolute Decree to me in one piece, then kneel and beg for forgiveness and offer Tina to me. Then, maybe things will end here. Otherwise, you're going to pay for your mistake your entire life! At that time, not only you… Even those who stand with you will have to pay a price you can't even imagine!"Silvan had been given an order to take Tina away no matter what. That was his first aim.Of course, he couldn't simply let the part where he was humiliated be. He would get his revenge one way or another.Harvey smiled. "Really, now. Since you sound so confident, just bring it on. Let's see if your face is harder, or the Absolute Decree is harder…"When Silvan s
"That's for me to know and for you to find out. If you're not going to make a choice soon, I'm going to do that for you." Harvey extended his hand and patted Silvan's face with the Absolute Decree.Silvan's eyes narrowed. Only at this time did he realize why Dan had forced him to make his move even if he had to spend that precious one chance. The way Harvey did things was simply too overbearing and couldn't be prepared for."Put down the Absolute Decree!""What you're doing is forbidden in Grand City!""This is outrageous!"All the Earth Hall elites yelled, furious.Alexei used this chance to get closer to Harvey and whispered, "Big bro, you should pay more respect to the Absolute Decree. If you keep this up, you might anger all Seven Predecessors if you're not careful."Silvan smiled coldly. "You hear that, Harvey? You humiliated Grand City by stealing the Absolute Decree. You're in big trouble now."Harvey smiled. "You don't have to worry whether I'm in trouble or not. You
"No one can say that I won't be the future mayor of Grand City. As long as I have the possibility of becoming the mayor, what you do know is insubordination!" Harvey sneered. "Are you brave enough to touch me?""Really now?" Silvan snapped, his face frosty. "Do you think I haven't prepared anything before coming here?"Silvan took out a badge made of a special material, flashing it in front of Harvey. "The Absolute Decree! While it can only be used once, it will allow anyone to enter any place within Grand City! I think this is the perfect place to use this. Forget about the fact that you're not even the scion of Grand City just yet. Even if you are, you need to obey the Absolute Decree!"He waved his hand and commanded, "Alright! Go and get our target!"Whoosh!Before anyone from Earth Hall could move, Harvey took a step and immediately appeared right in front of Silvan. Before Silvan could react, Harvey slapped his face. Slap!The slap was loud, and it was powerful enough t
A simple sentence seemed to contain an endless amount of murderous intention, putting all the elites from the Earth Hall on their guard. Silvan's face became terrifyingly dark."I know you're powerful, Harvey. You crushed the Origin Fist's Mark and even defeated all the Island Nation's six schools in the past. There's no mistake that you're a true warrior. But think through this clearly. There are so many of us here, can you defeat us? Even if you can, what if the three halls combined forces? What if all 100,000 of Grand City's elites attacked?"I'm advising you here right now because I have some respect for your role as the Representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance. But if you still refuse to listen and want to force your way, we don't mind doing it until the end. You can try and attack any of us here. Let's see if the thousands of elites from the three halls will attack, and how many of us can you actually kill!" Silvan's handsome face turned brutal.If it was someone
However, Silvan couldn't simply leave like this or surrender. He gritted his teeth and instantly pulled out a gun from his waist. After disengaging the safety, he pointed at Harvey and said coldly, "I'm not here to waste my breath with you, Harvey. Take Tina here. I'll give you one minute. Otherwise, don't blame me for being callous! While you are indeed quite powerful, I trust that you know the people around you aren't that powerful!"36 men in black robes took a step forward. The weapons in their hands were not only aimed at Harvey, but also on Alexei and the rest.Harvey narrowed his eyes and smiled. "I do have the Tina that you're looking for, but I saved her out of the generosity of my heart as she was being pursued. However, something interesting about me is that when I save someone, I'll make sure to go all the way. Since she's now with me, I naturally need to ensure her safety."You can take her away. You can even put her in your prison. However, I need you to provide me w
Harvey played with the umbrella in his hand and said curiously, "You're with Dan?"When Silvan heard that, he said coldly, "Mr. Representative, do I need to repeat myself? I am Silvan of the Earth Hall. Now that I'm here, I am the warrant from Earth Hall as well as Grand City's law. And when I act, all will obey my orders. Even the Seven Families will cooperate with me without delay. Understand?"Harvey smiled. "And if I can't understand?"Silvan simply raised his hands.Clack! Clack!All 36 men in the black robes took out unique firearms and disengaged the safety, aiming in Harvey's direction."These weapons are specialized firearms Country A created against martial arts elites. Their bullets are created from toxins that could deal with True Warriors that Grand City has perfected. The ones with weapons are trained elites who with god-like accuracy and an iron will. If all 36 of them pull the trigger at the same time, even a living legend who has reached the level of uniting Man
Grand City looked quite mysterious under the cover of the night. The skies above were covered in dark clouds, with flashes of lightning visible occasionally—it was dazzling.Just when the butler of the Foster Residence was about to tell the staff to secure the gates for the night, sounds of car engines could be heard approaching from afar. Bright headlights swept over, and the staff instinctively narrowed their eyes. Eighteen Land Rover Defenders headed straight to the residence, surrounded by an unspeakable force. Thanks to the rain, one couldn't clearly see the figures within.However, each of the cars had red car plates, which was quite shocking to those in the know.It was Grand City's Purgatory Hall!The three halls of Grand City were the three institutions created for the city. The Heaven Hall was responsible for defense, the Earth Hall covered law enforcement, while the Purgatory Hall had dominion over execution.It could be said that among the Three Halls, while the Eart
