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
The auditorium was completely cleared out.The security tape was used to make a perimeter of about a hundred square feet for each participant to fight in. A lot of blunt weapons were set on the side of the ring. From halberds to daggers, every single possible weapon could be seen there.Harvey York calmly walked toward the thirty-ninth ring.He squinted at the surveillance camera on top of him before looking at Kori on the forty-first ring. Then, he rested his hand on the ready button beside him.“This is actual combat, Harvey! It’s completely different compared to the theory test!”Kori tied her hair up in a ponytail while squinting her narrow eyes at Harvey.“You don’t even have a solid foundation in martial arts! You better not force yourself if you bite off more than you can chew!“After all, the Longmen disciples are no easy opponents.“You won’t even be able to cry about it if they somehow manage to kill you.“Everyone signed a death warrant anyway!”After being rejec
In truth, Jesse did understand Harvey somewhat. He knew from the very beginning that with Harvey's character, he would not have killed Wilhelm.The reason he threw Harvey into prison was to protect him, other than it being the Xavier family's order as well. But he did not expect something like this to happen outside.Not only Donald had died, but all the young men and women he brought back also mostly died. All of them died the same way. They could not even resist, all of them slain in one slash. It was as if the person who killed them possessed incredible power and was very familiar with them.Other than Liza, who left the residence at the time, all the people from the other three Martial Arts Alliance who came back from overseas had been killed.The information was from Wolsing's precinct. It was absolutely unbelievable to them that something like this would happen at the country's seat of power. That was why the precinct contacted Wolsing's Dragon Cell, hoping they could work to
"Or maybe you forgot who you are, Jesse. How dare you conspire with the Islanders!" When Jesse heard Harvey's words, he narrowed his eyes. Harvey's questioning was sharp and dug into his heart. However, from Harvey's angle, he was not exactly wrong.Jesse took a deep breath and said, "I'm not going to lie to you. The Xavier family as a whole has its own considerations, as well as my own personal thoughts."But you are gravely mistaken. The Xaviers aren't conspiring with the Islanders. However, we simply don't want you to go to our family and mess things up before Yvonne is married. So… Harvey, stay here."On the one hand, this is for Yvonne's own good if you really care about her. On the other hand, isn't this my way of protecting you too? You can't imagine just how many people outside want you dead…"Firstly, I can understand why because I exposed just how shameless families like you are, despite my own contempt for it." Harvey shrugged. "But I don't understand your second point.
"We meet again, Harvey. What? Do you think Dragon Cell's fried chicken is to your taste, so you came in for a stroll?"At the same time when Donald was being killed, Jesse walked into the Dragon Palace's interrogation room and watched Harvey enjoying his fried chicken meal with a hint of helplessness on his face."I didn't want to, but they got me with some concrete evidence, so I have no choice," Harvey said as he put down his fork before turning over to Jesse. "I've got a few things I want to ask you, but you're quite hard to get a hold of. But I think it should be quite easy to see you here, so I came in.""Questions for me?" Jesse asked, confused. "That's why you're here?""What else?" Harvey said with a shrug. "Oh, right. I also want to see whether Wolsing's Dragon Cell has already completely fallen and if they can still uphold their justice and prove the ingenuousness of the innocents."If you can't prove my innocence in the shortest possible time, then I believe that Dragon
Liza chuckled when he saw Donald, who was so confident in his abilities. "If you put some more effort into it, with your abilities, there's no doubt that Harvey will die a terrible death, am I right?"Donald rubbed his swollen face. "That little bastard hit my face until it's all swollen. Of course, I must get back at him a hundred, no, a thousand times! Otherwise, all this pain and humiliation will be for nothing."Liza bowed. "He deserves it all." "Alright, I'll get some rest. After everything, I can feel my bones aching," said Donald as he set down his glass and walked to his bedroom.But the instant he went inside, he turned around to look at Liza. "Contact Mitsuki and ask if the Island Nation still has any other evidence. If there's none, ask them if she can fabricate something concrete soon. If we want to make this case as solid as possible, we also need other evidence! And I believe they have already prepared it.""Understood!" Liza nodded and immediately left to arrange i
Just as Harvey was imprisoned because of Rita's testimony, Donald returned to his mansion with a pleasing smile.While he had lived overseas, he had plenty of assets in Wolsing.On the one hand, it was to make some money. On the other hand, it was to have a place to stay. And his favorite place was Arcadia Garden located in the third rim of Wolsing. It was not spacious and had three courtyards, and the architecture was quite old, as if it had not been renovated for decades.That being said, Arcadia Garden's design was quite old, but all the antique, the pottery, the statues… All of them were pretty valuable. If one were to live in a place like this, they would no doubt lose themselves in a life of decadence, becoming full of themselves.At this time, someone pushed open the door into Arcadia Garden with a creak.Then, Donald walked into the estate with a gratified expression, sitting on the sofa in the living room."Hahahaha! What a show! Isn't that Harvey quite bombastic? Isn't
"Now that we have all the evidence, why don't you just surrender?" Mitsuki looked at Harvey with a smirk.Harvey calmly replied, "Firstly, I have no interest in framing you Islanders. Because logically speaking, the weak will frame the strong. In my eyes, all of you Islanders are nothing. You're not even on my radar."Secondly, if I really want to kill Wilhelm, will I be so stupid to kill him just after he and I were in a scuffle earlier? Can't I wait for a few more days?"Thirdly, you showed a fingerprint and said all the evidence is clear. But you can lift my fingerprints from my residence and my office."Fourthly, you Islanders have just used Donald and Wilhelm to threaten me, so they'll make me give up on the duel. But when that fails, I'm suddenly accused of being a murderer, as if I'll go to prison at any time."There are too many coincidences. I believe the one who killed Wilhelm is someone from Island Nation, so that you can frame me.""Us? Framing you?" Mitsuki said as i
Harvey did not expect Charlotte to be willing to fight the Shinto Way for him until the very end. However, he did not want Charlotte to fight for him now.Looking at the crowd gathering around them, itching to get a fight and the people from Dragon Palace… Then he noticed Mitsuki's deep smile…Harvey sighed.He did not mind fighting the Islanders here.But if he fought with the people from Dragon Palace because of him, no matter who won, it would be a disgrace if news of this spread. Harvey raised his right hand and said, "Charlotte, no need to fight here. Didn't Mitsuki say she has enough evidence to the point that the officers from Dragon Cell are with her? If that's the case, then let's investigate. I believe I can prove my own innocence.Harvey ignored them and left the ICU.When Mitsuki and Donald saw what had happened, they looked and smiled deeply at each other and quickly followed him.-Half an hour later. In the interrogation room, Dragon Cell Wolsing branch.As th
When Harvey looked at how righteous Mitsuki was trying to portray herself, he was unsure how to react.Meanwhile, Donald immediately gave Mitsuki a thumbs up and said, "Just as expected from one of the three primary disciples of the Shinto Way, Mitsuki! Not only can you fight, but you're also guided by righteousness! With Mitsuki willing to preside over what's right, this means that there's still justice in this world. It also means that in Country H, those with power will still be punished!"Then, Donald gave Harvey a complacent smile, feeling that Harvey would have to submit even if he refused.Charlotte frowned when she saw what had happened.The Islanders were known for their particularity. They would never act rashly before they had all the evidence.However, from Mitsuki's reaction… Could it be that Harvey really did kill Wilhelm? But Charlotte instantly felt that it was impossible. For someone like Harvey, if he really had something against Wilhelm, he would handle it on th
"You…" Donald was so furious that he could not stop shaking. "You're making things up, Harvey! Even if I wanted to do something like that, I wouldn't have killed Wilhelm! He's a dear friend!"Then, Harvey said, "Does that matter to a person like you? You can even kill your own father as long as the price is right, much less someone unrelated to you."Donald could not stop shuddering when he heard that. However, he knew that Harvey was not completely wrong."Mr. Harvey, are all people from your country just like you? Refusing to admit to the crimes you commit? But I have proof that you're the one who killed the deacon!" A cold voice came from the other side of the corridor at this time."We went to the crime scene where William was murdered just now. We found a longsword with your fingerprint on it. This is the smoking gun. What else do you have to say?"Harvey turned and looked at the owner of the voice. He was one of the three primary disciples of Shinto Way, Mitsuki. She walked
