“Someone asked me to tell you that you’re not supposed to be here!“There are some people you can’t afford to go against, you country bumpkin!“Once you do, you’ll pay a hefty price!“The people around you were hurt this time, but it might not be the case next time!”The bald driver continued showing a playful look on his face.Harvey York’s gaze was as cold as ice.“You’re right. There are some people that you really can’t afford to go against.”The bald driver showed a cold smirk.“Are you still talking big at this point, Sir York?“This is all just the beginning!“You’re the one my boss is targeting!“You better be careful when you go out next time! Don’t bump into people like me next time!“Right! Your wife is at the Hearthstone Corporation, and your sister-in-law’s in the hospital, right?“Then, you better make sure that they’re safe!”The bald driver showed a wretched look on his face.“Who the Hell is behind all this?!” exclaimed Harvey.“Make a guess! Aren’t you
On the next day, early in the morning, the truck in front of the Martial Hall was finally towed away.Dillon Lee found a few renovation companies to immediately clean up the mess, hoping the Martial Hall would be up for business again.Harvey York had been standing sleepless inside the Martial Hall for an entire day.He did not like killing, but he knew full well that he could not hold back any longer when someone kept pushing his limits.If this continued, Mandy Zimmer and Xynthia Zimmer would probably be the ones in trouble, maybe even Yvonne Xavier, Kait Walker, Queenie York, or the others around him…“I heard that you got into an accident last night, Brother-In-Law! Are you alright?”Xynthia got word from somewhere as soon as she got out of the hospital. She immediately came to the Martial Hall afterward.She did not ask how Harvey acquired the Martial Hall nor about anything else besides for his own safety.“Don’t worry. I’m fine.“I’ll get you and your sister to stay her
“Next semester?The young man crossed his arms while walking inside the Martial Hall before he looked around the place.“Were you the one who got the bald driver killed?“Did you do that just to force me out?“I’m here now. What are you going to do? Take your revenge?“Or are you here to beg for mercy?”The young man kept looking around him in disdain…But his eyes lit up as soon as he saw Xynthia Zimmer, as if he was wide awake.“You’re finally here…Harvey York calmly raised his head to look at the young man.“So, you’re the person behind Wilbur Lee, Boden Osborne, and the bald driver, aren’t you?“I have a lot of enemies here in Flutwell. I know young masters from the Bauer family, the John family, and the mighty Indians trying to kill me…“I know all these people, yet I don’t know you.“Judging from that, you must be the legendary Clyde Osborne, Prince Osborne himself. Am I right?”Harvey had never met Clyde before, but he knew someone would show up after what happene
“You kept disrespecting me over and over again too. Have you ever thought about how angry I am?“You’ll have dire consequences if you anger me…“I know that Joseph Bauer suffered huge losses against you. I also know what happened to Elliot John and Frankie Garcia…“But that doesn’t mean an outsider like you is allowed to show off here!“There are people saying that your strength is terrifying and that you’re probably a God of War…Clyde Osborne calmly spoke in a low whisper.“But don’t forget. You’re in Flutwell right now.“You might be able to scare off other people, but you really can’t do much here in Flutwell.“You see, I’m a God of War myself…“That’s why you can’t scare me even if you’re one too!”Harvey York slightly squinted after hearing Clyde’s confident speech. He had no choice but to size up the prince once again.He was pretty surprised when he heard those words.‘This young man with a lavish lifestyle is a God of War?‘Did he also take drugs to get this far?’
“In the northwest region…“No matter how impressive or powerful you are…“You’ll have to follow the Osborne family’s rules!“Admit to your faults and be punished accordingly!“Since you killed one of my men, you’ll have to pay for that!“I’ll give you three hours to bring me the culprit!Clyde Osborne then glanced at Xynthia Zimmer behind the crowd before lightly chuckling.“Wash her up and bring her to me as well. I’ll have to play with her for a while…“Also, bring your wife tomorrow night.“Remember. Wash them up…”Xynthia trembled while her face completely lost all color.Boom!Harvey York showed an icy cold expression before he stepped forward and swung his palm toward Clyde’s face.Harvey did not want to fight in a place like this, but he would not forgive himself if he remained still after Clyde’s constant provocation.Harvey’s slap was as quick as lightning…Clyde coldly chuckled before he dodged the attack and swung his palm for a counterattack.The two palms c
That said, there was no way that Harvey York could just slap Clyde Osborne to death in front of everyone.Without a second thought, he had no choice but to control his temper.‘Why is it so hard to be the good guy nowadays?’If he did not consider the consequences of the situation along with his bottom line, he would have slapped Clyde to death by then.Xynthia rushed up instantly after thinking that Harvey was somehow internally injured.“Are you okay, Brother-In-Law?” she asked while propping Harvey up.Harvey shook his head.“I’m fine.Then, he calmly walked forward while squinting at Clyde with a cold expression.“Enough talk, Clyde!“You won’t get anything here!“You’ll have to give me a statement, though!“If not, then don’t blame me for what happens next!”“Interesting.”At this point, Clyde could not help but chuckle after seeing Harvey talk this big.He was only here to test the waters. He wanted to make Harvey kneel. He did not come here to kill anyone.More i
While Clyde Osborne was waiting to have a rematch against Harvey York during his peak, Jeff Bauer was quietly watching Harvey’s every single move…On the next day, early in the morning, Harvey immediately got Kayden Balmer to work right after waking up.Harvey did get the upper hand during his fight against Joseph Bauer, but this was not nearly enough.All the signs showed that Joseph did not give up at all. He was clearly planning for something big behind the scenes.Everything that had transpired recently seemed to be connected to him as well.Harvey decided to break Joseph’s backbone first to prevent Joseph, Clyde, and the others from joining forces out of desperation.On the one hand, he would be able to deal with his worries ahead of time. On the other hand, he would clarify the situation between the Bauer family and Longmen.Before Kayden even went out for long, Joseph was woken up by frantic footsteps while resting in his manor.“This is bad, Young Master Bauer! This is
The chain Budokans were Joseph Bauer’s biggest trump card.According to his calculations, he would be swimming in money yearly as long as the Budokans were still open.This was why he was able to remain calm after suffering such a significant loss in Flutwell’s new district.As long as the people of Flutwell were still around and everyone was still passionate about martial arts, the chain Budokans would still remain.Joseph would still be able to remain at his peak.Simply put, the business would be up for the rest of his life.But he did not expect that every single chain Budokan was in trouble at that moment. How did all the students pass out inside?Joseph knew full well that his fees were not cheap.The people who came to train in the Budokans were no ordinary people. All the people came from middle-class families, at least.Those people were not a threat alone, but it would be extremely terrifying if thousands banded together.Not just him, even the entire Bauer family w
Harvey smiled. "Aren't you afraid that it'll cause discord once your words reach back to Grand City if you praise me this much? I'm going to Grand City eventually."Geoffrey's eyes slightly narrowed when he heard it, and then he smiled. "It makes sense if you're going to the city. Since you're the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance, which makes you the mayor of Grand City, it's logical if you want to go there. But there's something you need to be mindful of. The Seven Families publicly acknowledged Dan as the scion of Grand City, and everyone thought he would become the representative."If you go to Grand City, everyone will see you as trying to usurp power whether you want it or not. When that happens, the two of you will never have peace until one of you is dead…""Dead?" Harvey smirked. "What makes him think he has the right to call himself Grand City's scion? If he wants to become the owner of Grand City, he has to reclaim his status and become a representative and not
Meanwhile, Sol moved a chair over for Harvey and made a cup of tea for him. Harvey drank the flower tea that had just been freshly brewed. After a drink, he said with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Geoffrey.""You saved me, so it's nothing strange for me to show you some appreciation," replied Geoffrey with a smile as he waved his hand. Then, Sol and Lune closed and covered all the windows and doors leading to the studies. Later, he said, "Harvey, I've prepared everything I need to. It's all in your hands now."In the next few days, he had already written down his own comprehension of his martial arts and those that he believed needed to be recorded, then passed them to Sol and Lune for safekeeping. Geoffrey was prepared for the consequences of his treatment."Alright. Since you have made the decision, then I won't delay this any further. But I suggest that we should make a video recording. That way, you will not only know what changes occur to your body but also what I did." Harvey sugge
"You heard it too, didn't you? I gave Victoria a call," Harvey said openly. "Victoria is the eldest princess of the Empire. She owed me one, so I asked her a favor. To her, something like this is easily within her powers."Yvonne was shocked. "You're actually familiar with the Empire's eldest princess?"Harvey smiled. "It's all in the past. Not to mention that this time, it involves the lives of many of your relatives. It's more convenient if the Empire is the one that makes the move."Yvonne gave it a thought and mumbled, "Sir, you probably need to repay her for a favor this huge, right? If you need anything, just let me know, and I'll have the Xaviers prepare them.""Well… There's no need to," Harvey said as he glanced at his phone screen with a message written in the Empire's script. "I guess this is all over once I find some time to treat her to a meal."When she heard it, Yvonne's expression instantly turned strange. But she was a smart woman; she knew there were things she s
"That's because the Empire produces most of the firearms we Second Caste used. Once they stop their services, we will lose access to those firearms in the short term. The First Case will use this chance to retaliate. If we ever reach that stage, the Second Caste is doomed. That's why we have no choice but to execute the Empire's orders."That's not the worst part. Unless we can completely go without the weapons produced by the Empire from within our army, otherwise… Harvey basically owns the Second Caste from now on. Crossing him is suicidal. In our current condition, the Second Caste doesn't have the resources to change the firearms from within our army. That's why, whether we like it or not, he basically owns us," said Bart, heaving a sigh. His expression darkened."Darn it… I told them I would rather cross the people from Country A than the people from Country H. Why didn't they believe me? They only regretted it after they had been thoroughly humiliated."When Zoe heard it, she
"Let's go!" Bart's expression darkened when he saw things had reached this stage. With a wave of his hand, he was going to leave with his underlings. He was filled with dissatisfaction.Today was supposed to be his day of glory. He was supposed to crush the Xaviers right under his boots. He was even prepared to have some fun with the women from the Xaviers. But he never expected one call from Harvey to be enough to turn his dreams into nothing. He was extremely dissatisfied.Zoe shuddered and was also about to leave. She wished Harvey could forgive her existence at this moment."Did I tell you that you can leave?" Harvey glanced at the group as they reached the entrance. "Don't forget, all of you have to give me an explanation that I'm happy with."Then, Harvey glanced at Zoe and said, "And you, Maiden. Don't forget your words so soon?"Zoe's expression darkened as she shuddered.Meanwhile, Bart immediately bent the knee on the floor with a loud thud. Then, he said in a bitter vo
Bart was completely stunned. "Sir, that's not what you said earlier! You gave explicit orders that…""What orders?" The voice coming from the other side was grim. "Do you understand what I'm telling you? Do as I tell you right now. Other than letting them know, I don't care whether you must cry or beg; you must gain the Xaviers' forgiveness. "Remember. If you fail, I'll kill all your family! This is not just my personal order but the collective will of the entire Second Caste. You must gain their forgiveness even if you were to sacrifice your own life!"After Mr. Garcia roared back at Bart, he angrily hung up. Obviously, there was pent-up anger in him, making him very furious and agitated. Unfortunately, it seemed that he could not resist it. That was why, even if he did not want to, all he could do was follow Mr. Garcia's orders.What happened?Bart, Zoe, and the others could not react as their eyes were fixed on the phone on the table. Their expressions were completely frozen.
"Tsk. Didn't you say you just gave a call to the Empire? That's our suzerain! If there's really someone on top of the pyramid speaking on your behalf, we all had to obey!" Bart said, his words were spiteful once more."Maybe you should give her a call again? Tell her that the Second Caste is very scared, waiting for her to come and punish us. Or maybe, your phone is out of credit? Do you need more money to pay for your credits?" Bart then pulled out a 20-dollar bill and threw it at Harvey. What Bart just did made all the people from Country I laugh even more arrogantly.Zoe could not be bothered to waste her time anymore. Instead, she extended her foot before Harvey, signaling Harvey to kneel and lick the sole of her heel quickly. Otherwise, someone from the Xaviers would have to die again if time was up.Buzz…As the mockery climaxed, Bart's phone started to vibrate. Everyone instantly looked at him. Bart was also stunned and glanced at the screen of his phone. Then, he gave Harve
"What? Don't tell me the Victoria you called just now was actually Princess Victoria from the Empire? I suppose you must have gotten what you wanted if you could talk to her directly. I wonder what kind of orders she gave us? Did she tell us to be on our knees right now or tomorrow?" A smirk appeared on Zoe's face the moment Harvey hung up. She looked at Harvey as if she was looking at a clown running a circus."Oh, right, I need to remind you. In one hour, we will kill another member of the Xavier family. If she only contacts us after a long time, then the Xaviers will all die," said Zoe as she folded her arms in front of her chest and slowly approached Harvey. Then, she leaned closer to Harvey and said, "And here I'm looking forward to falling on my knees and calling you Daddy. So please, you better give me this chance."At this time, Zoe acted so seductively. If it were not because everyone here knew that Zoe and Harvey were enemies, some might even think that Harvey and Zoe might
"Seems like you didn't change at all, Maiden. You still wouldn't give up until your final moments," Harvey stepped forward and glanced at Zoe. She might look stern on the outside, but she was already shaken inside."You know full well that if I could give you the money all this time, it would mean that I have the evidence. Maybe the Second Caste didn't care about the betrayal and continued to use you because you have some value. But the moment I show all this evidence on the internet, a sinner like you will make everyone remember everything."Perhaps the First Caste, who is at a disadvantage right now, could use this as an initiative and retaliate. That's why if I were you, I would immediately turn tail and leave, then think of a way to convince the Second Caste to stop instead of wasting your breath here."Zoe smiled coldly. "You can stop threatening me now, Harvey. I confessed everything to my higher-ups a long time ago. So what if you can reveal all the evidence you have? It mean
