Mandy sighed.“But judging from Elanor’s attitude, she wouldn’t give up that easily.”“If she gets reckless and starts convincing Jeff to fight us…”“We’ll be in a lot of trouble, won’t we?”Naturally, Mandy understood Elanor’s behavior quite well.Harvey smiled.“The Bauer family is split three ways. Every single young master was chosen by the master himself.”“Naturally, they’re not ordinary people.”“Or rather, they’re definitely smart people.”“Of course, our tactics might be useful, but it might not make Jeff give in that easily.”Mandy froze.“So, do you mean…?”“We have to act fast, of course.” Harvey smiled.“But there’s no rush.”“We gave him three days.”“If he still doesn’t know how to choose…”“I’ll just teach him again.”…Harvey put the thought to the back of his head and focused on the Longmen Summit for the time being.Early in the following morning, Harvey showed up at the Flutwell Gymnasium for the provincial qualifiers.The event looked a lot mo
A man in a suit walked out soon after. He had a stubble, similar to someone from the Island Nations.He was a lot taller than the people there. A fierce and dominant aura could be felt on him.Harvey glanced curiously at the man. Then, he realized that the man looked quite similar to Larisa.He could tell that the man was none other than Bowen Lee, the branch leader of Longmen’s Flutwell branch.A few officers read out a bunch of nonsense before introducing the jury and examiners.After that, Bowen walked on stage and looked calmly in front of him.“Aside from the strength to walk the underworld…”“Everyone knows that the most important thing is to learn the Art of Killing from different schools and curses.”“The goal is to not teach you how to kill, but to have the strength to protect yourself when met with odd situations!”“That’s why this test will be a lot different than before!”“By my judgment, I have someone here who was cursed by something unknown!”“It’s why she’s i
Everyone exchanged glances upon hearing Bowen’s words.This was the Longmen Summit—it should be a place to brawl to one’s heart’s content.Why were they forced to treat someone, of all things?Even so, Bowen’s words made a lot of sense. Hence, nobody dared to refute him.Even Fisher couldn’t help but rub his head. He was unsure if he should try to talk Bowen out of this or remain silent.Kori, on the other hand, was filled with glee. Her eyes fell on Harvey immediately. She was certain Harvey would never be able to pass a test like this!Even if Harvey had been practicing martial arts when he was still in his mother’s womb, he wouldn’t be able to deal with a curse.After all, the underworld was an extremely dangerous place full of the unknown.Imagining Harvey embarrassing himself and getting disqualified, Kori felt exhilarated.“Right! Begin!”Bowen took a step back, his expression stern, and gestured to everyone to keep quiet.The first examinee was a short-haired woman.
At this very moment, Bowen was seething with anger.His impatience and love for his daughter had him completely infuriated.Right as Harvey was about to step out, Bowen let out a hollow laugh. “Every single one of you is a top talent of the Longmen Summit!”“Yet, none of you can do anything about this?!”“You’re all trash in my eyes!”“You won’t even know how you’d die if I send you all to the underworld!”“If you can’t even deal with such a simple problem, then why don’t you just die?!”The examinees’ expressions worsened after hearing Bowen’s words.They all came from extraordinary families, and they wanted to retaliate after Bowen called them trash…But after reminding themselves of Bowen’s identity, they had no choice but to sit back down and keep silent.On the one hand, they were intimidated by Bowen’s power and status…On the other hand, they had no power to save Larisa.Fisher wanted to say something, but he couldn’t utter a single word after seeing Bowen’s infuri
“Leave! You have no right to do anything to Larisa!”Harvey stared calmly at Bowen. Then, he nodded. “Fine. I won’t save her if you don’t let me.”“That said, I still need to take the test. Give me something else to do.”Bowen scoffed coldly.“You want another test?”“There’s no need for that!”“Every single one of you is useless, anyway! There’s no chance any of you will pass!”“From now on, every examinee of this batch will be disqualified!”“Leave! Every single one of you!”“Leave, and never come back!”Harvey’s gaze turned as cold as ice after hearing Bowen being this unreasonable.Gossip could be heard all over the place.Nobody could hear the conversation between Harvey and Bowen, but they heard Bowen loud and clear when he said that he was going to disqualify every single examinee in the hall.Fisher couldn’t hold his feelings back any longer. He stepped out.“It’s inappropriate for you to just disqualify Harvey like that, Branch Leader Lee.”“Besides, he seems
“Since Branch Leader Lee’s already made his decision, you should just leave!”“You’re already disqualified, anyway! Stop being so persistent!”“You’ll only waste everyone’s time!”The examiners started to up after hearing Bowen’s words.They looked as if they were trying to teach a young man a lesson.“Fine. If that’s the case…”“I’ll quit on my own volition!”Harvey’s gaze turned as cold as ice as soon as he saw the arrogance on Bowen and everyone else’s faces.“That said, Bowen…”“Let me tell you something.”“Her body is filled with evil energy because she entered a haunted house.”“And because she was shot by a prop firearm, she is now in deep shock, causing the evil energy to flow straight into her soul.”“Ordinary means won’t be able to save her.”“There are only three people in Country H who can save her.”“And in Flutwell, only I can do that.”“If not saved, she’ll have to live the rest of her life this way.”Harvey wiped his fingers with some tissues. Then, he t
Ansel was an experienced man—he knew there was no way to cure his subordinate through normal means.Thus, he went to Longmen’s Flutwell branch for help, hoping that they would save his subordinate.Bowen was experienced as well, but he couldn’t do anything about the man’s state since he wasn’t well-versed in the Art of Killing.Ansel had been asking so-called experts of Flutwell the entire night, but to no avail.Bowen thought that Ansel had shown up to ask for his help. Who knew that Ansel immediately walked past him and the crowd, and made a beeline straight to Harvey?Before anyone could even react to the situation, Ansel apologized to Harvey. “I didn’t mean to disturb you today, Sir York.”“But my subordinate’s in a terrible state!”“I’ve thought about it for a long time. At this point, in all of Flutwell, only you can help him!”“That’s why I came here!”“While we were trying to go after a group of grave robbers, my subordinate became like this after getting struck by
Harvey reached out and checked the man’s pulse. Then, he poked the man’s chest.“How dare you, you b*stard?!”Bowen was boiling with anger upon seeing this. “Don’t you know that the acupoints of the heart are off limits?!”“How dare you?!”“You’ll hurt him!”Bowen reached out, trying to grab Harvey’s hand.Naturally, he didn’t want Harvey to save the man.He wanted to cause trouble.Slap!Ansel was infuriated; he instantly slapped Bowen to the ground without hesitation.“B*stard!”“Don’t get in Sir York’s way! He’s trying to save my subordinate!”“Aaargh!”The crowd gasped upon seeing Bowen slapped aside.After all, he was the branch leader of Flutwell’s Longmen branch. He clearly had a lot of support.Even though Ansel was the director of the Flutwell Police Station, his reputation within the government was well-maintained—there was never any bad news about him.The sight of him beating someone down was something no one had ever imagined. The slap was a lot more d
