Harvey held his strength back on purpose to see just how powerful Cody had become with the hypnosis technique; he didn’t want to kill Cody by accident with a single slash.Cody didn’t realize this. He swung his knife at lightning speed, able to counter Harvey’s suppressed strength.Sounds of blades clashing could be heard constantly.Clang!After nine slashes, Cody looked as if he found an opportunity. He spun the knife in his hand and slashed it downward.The air started vibrating through the attack. Even the sound barrier being broken could be heard. Harvey raised his sword, effectively blocking the attack.But since he suppressed his own strength, he was forced back a few steps.Dahlia stepped back with a cold expression.She believed that Harvey was finished, but she still didn’t want to get dragged into the situation.“A God of War.”Harvey stood up straight with a surprised expression.“You’re barely a God of War, but you managed to maintain this power using hypnosis
Dahlia coldly chuckled as she watched the fight.“You’re finished, Harvey!” she screeched disdainfully. “That’s a legendary move from the Celestial Temple—the Phantom Sword! Your eyes won’t be able to see the truth!”“You have no choice but to die!”“I’d start begging for mercy if I were you!”“It’s not shameful to kneel in front of a stronger person, after all!”“A true gentleman knows when to give up!”“Of course, it’s another thing if Master Garcia decides to kill you or not after you kneel!”Everyone was chuckling wretchedly upon hearing Dahlia’s arrogant words.They wanted Harvey to perish, but they wanted to see him beg for mercy even more.Even Cody was laughing as he performed his move.He wanted to crush Harvey’s spirits—he wanted to see Harvey break into tears! As everyone was insulting Harvey relentlessly, Harvey only revealed a faint smile.“What a show-off.”“The John family is well-versed in martial arts, Dahlia. You have a deep connection with the Golden
“Quick! Protect Master Garcia!”“Don’t let that man kill him!”An Indian shivered before he returned to his senses. He held up his sword and stood in front of Cody.The others followed suit, trying to stop Harvey from doing anything.Harvey ignored the fierce-looking Indians completely and looked calmly at Cody.“If that’s all you have to show from your Mystic Arts…”“It sure doesn’t look like you’re going to get your way today.”Cody raised his head, his entire body still shaking; resentment could be seen on his pale old face.“Us Indians will always repay the favor! We’re not done with this yet!”“Are we not?”Harvey shrugged nonchalantly.“So you’re saying it’ll all be done if I deal with every single one of you here?”The Indians turned pale the moment they heard Harvey’s murderous tone.Privately, they were cursing Cody and his entire family.‘Why the f*ck are you still hell-bent on revenge now? Are you insane?! Now’s not the time to talk about something like that! E
For Harvey, nobody could stop him from killing Cody.Cody’s son, disciple, and so many of his people had been taken out by Harvey.There would be a lot of trouble if the situation wasn’t dealt with then and there.Harvey had no choice.“Do you have a death wish?!”Clara was infuriated upon hearing Harvey’s calm words.“You’re insane!”“Do you realize who you’re dealing with here?”“Do you know what the Golden Palace represents?”“Do you know who Master Garcia is to us?!”“We’re in the middle of the day!”“You’re being a little too arrogant!”“We haven’t even settled scores with you for killing Freddy yet!”“And now, you’re here beating people up again?!”“Not only are you being disrespectful to the deceased, but you’re disrespecting every single one of us!”“Who gave you such courage?!”Clara shot Harvey a frosty look as she lectured him.“On behalf of the Golden Palace’s Law Enforcement, I’m warning you…”“Surrender now and wait for us to deal with you!”“If you res
Harvey didn’t hesitate to humiliate Clara.Clara’s expression kept changing; she naturally understood full well what Harvey was saying.However, she chose to ignore him.“I’m not aware of that. Anyway, you have no proof for your words!” she snarled, glaring icily at Harvey.“It’s useless running your mouth in front of me!”“I can see you hurting people—you’re trying to kill people right in front of my eyes!”“Master Garcia is a servant of the Golden Palace!”“Not only are you ruining the reputation of the underworld…”“But you’ll also cause a diplomatic dispute and ruin Country H’s image!”“From this perspective, you’re the villain!”“Forget arresting you…”“You deserve to be shot dead at this point!”“I don’t care why you decided to do this! You need to drop your weapon and accept your punishment right now!”Clara was clearly challenging Harvey then and there.“Try to disobey me if you want!”“You’ll learn exactly why the Golden Palace is considered one of the sacred ma
To Clara, naturally…Harvey was just a small fry. She was infuriated that someone like that dared to question her authority.Feeling that her pride was being challenged; she unsheathed her sword covered in jewelry before pointing it at Harvey’s throat.“Grovel and surrender!” she coldly exclaimed.“I’ll kill you if you don’t!”“Idiots…”Harvey scoffed. Just then, the sound of an engine roaring could be heard from outside again.Clara was about to lash out, but she and the people behind her stopped; their eyes twitched slightly upon seeing the license plate of the Bentley behind them.The exquisite license plate came from Wolsing, a clear sign to everyone that the people inside were extraordinary people.Sienna, who was clad in a dress, stepped out of the car with an icy expression.A few men in black were following beside her.These men were a lot different than the bodyguards she had before. They all raised their heads up high, their expressions similarly icy.A badge with
“You think you can just come and go as you please, you b*stards?!”Cory was infuriated when he saw Harvey about to leave. He thought Carla was spooked. “We’re not done here! We…!”An expert from the Dragon Guard stepped out after a long silence. He casually picked up a sword on the ground and flicked it with his finger.Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!Dozens of shards flew right into the Indians’ throats in an instant.“Ngh!”Screams of pain could be heard—Cory and the others covered their throats as they lay on the ground, their faces the picture of horror. Disbelief and rage could be seen in their eyes.They didn’t think that the expert could kill them so easily. They had no other choice but to glare at the expert, helpless.Sienna opened the car door for Harvey, as if she didn’t see anything happen at all.“Come, Sir York. You’re disrespecting me if you don’t have this meal with me.”Harvey sighed and made a gesture to Rachel before getting in Sienna’s car.As the Bentley le
“Flutwell’s new district is the first big deal for Young Master Bauer’s alliance.”“It’s said that the district has both the Holy Mountain and the Holy Lake surrounding it. Not only is the scenery extraordinary, but the location of it is quite strategic as well!”“A geomancer master said that those who live here would definitely be extremely talented!”“Young Master Bauer is creating a whole new district for the nobility; perhaps even the first hot real estate in Country H’s northwest region!”“Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine houses will be sold! That is all that remains for the district’s property!”“Since the houses are not for investment, Young Master Bauer will sell the property of the second phase at a low price tomorrow morning.”“The original price was twenty-one thousand dollars per ten square feet, but now, it’s been reduced to fourteen thousand dollars!”The journalist on the screen appeared terribly excited. Clearly, he had been bought off by Joseph. He wou
George briefly hesitated before continuing and said, "I also noticed something other than this. The Island Nation embassy was preparing for a wedding. From the looks of it, tonight would be the wedding."From my informants, the people getting married are Yvonne and Shingen."Geroge paused momentarily before continuing, "From what I heard, Yvonne lost her parents a long time ago, and Sheldon brought her up. However, Sheldon is still imprisoned within the Xavier of Wolsing's ancestral land. I heard that if Yvonne refuses to marry, then Sheldon will die."Only now did Harvey manage to connect the dots. For example, why did Yvonne leave without saying a word? For instance, why would Yvonne suddenly marry another man? When the thought crossed his mind, Harvey extended his right hand, slammed the table, and said, "From now on, you have the authority to use everything I have. But you must get Sheldon out before the wedding tonight."George was stunned. "Sir, please do anything rash! That'
"You!" Liza was so furious that she seemed to go berserk as she kept pouncing at Rachel. Unfortunately, Rachel had already realized that her lower half was defenseless. No matter how she attacked, Rachel would only focus on her legs.After exchanging blows, Rachel used a chance to kick Liza in the stomach. Liza let out a scream as she was immediately thrown out. When she dropped to the ground, the burst of internal energy and the drug after-effects made her twitch on the ground, and she could not get back up after some time."See? This is the price you pay for your revenge," Harvey signaled Rachel to stop as he looked at Liza and gave a sigh. "The power of martial arts comes from training for a long period. You, or should I say, the person behind this all, had the wrong understanding. They all think that you, after using the genetic drug, would be able to kill me with your increased power."Unfortunately, it was meaningless. In front of absolute power, your fake power meant absolute
"Everything was an act that you directed yourself! Your acting is so good that even I almost believed all of this!" Liza could not be bothered by Harvey's explanation as she was drowned in her own rage. "Someone like you can lie to the entire world, but you can't lie to someone as smart as us! All the other overseas Martial Arts Alliance will fight you till the end! We won't allow someone like you to have such a high position within the Alliance!"And then, Liza pulled out the one last syringe and stabbed it into herself. Then, she moved. She roared as she pounced toward Harvey's location.Bang!Charlotte instinctively stepped before Harvey, using her hands to block Liza's attack wave. However, she did not expect that after Liza had injected herself with so much drug, not only had her power increased, but her entire combat capabilities also had improved.Charlotte, who could normally crush Liza, was forced back after one single punch. She only stopped after she slid almost 30 feet
"Are you stupid, Liza?" Charlotte stepped forward, glaring coldly. "Even Dragon Cell proves Harvey's innocence; someone tried to frame him! But here, you accuse him of being the culprit without any evidence? Are you joking? Or do you think that the Martial Arts Alliance doesn't kill!"Then, Charlotte placed her right hand on the hilt of her longsword, as if she would fight if Liza refused to back off. Rachel also stepped forward, and a throwing knife appeared in her hand as she glared at Liza with icy eyes."Do you think I'll believe whatever you say?" Liza said coldly as she laid her dark eyes on Harvey. "Not only did this bastard personally kill Wilhelm, but once he's exposed, he even lets his underlings kill Donald and the others by imitating him! You left so much evidence, so you befuddled the investigation! So you can let yourself off the hook!"Liza smiled coldly. "Harvey, you can deceive others, but you can never deceive me! There are plenty of ways within the community of th
Harvey narrowed his eyes. He was pretty surprised that someone would attack him at this critical moment. Could it be that just as Jesse had mentioned… There were plenty of people who wanted him dead.Bang!But before the pickup truck could reach Harvey, a Benz SUV rammed right into its side as it rushed out from another alley. The truck was hit so hard that it lost control and swerved into a nearby tree.The driver of the Benz SUV did not stop. Instead, he pressed on the gas again, damaging the pickup truck even more. The SUV driver jumped out only when the pickup truck's fuel tank caught on fire.Harvey gave the driver a look. It was Ray.It was obvious that Ray was still as careful after so many years when he first joined Harvey. Even at this time, he still kept his cards close to himself. Otherwise, even if Harvey did not die, he would still be in so much trouble.Harvey nodded at Ray. He was going to check who was inside the pickup truck when someone kicked the windshield ope
Once all the paperwork had been completed, it was already seven at night. When Harvey left the prison, he saw many had already been waiting for him outside.In addition to Charlotte and Prince from the Country H Martial Arts Alliance, Tyson, Ray, George, and Rachel were present. From a certain perspective, they were Harvey's greatest supporters within Country H.After Harvey got into prison, they used everything in their repertoire to prove Harvey's innocence. It was something worth celebrating, and they felt fortunate now that Harvey was released.Other than Harvey's crew, Mandy was also there.She gave Harvey a smile from some distance away. The worry on her face also disappeared. Harvey gave Mandy a nod. Initially, he was going to greet her, but he saw a Toyota van parked not far away from the corner of his eye. The van's windows were all tinted black, but Harvey could sense someone familiar looking at them.He suddenly realized who was inside the van. At that moment, he stoppe
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
