The Range Rovers immediately stopped as soon as the distant voice echoed out.A large group of men in robes appeared after the car doors opened.The men instantly surrounded Lucca Bauer, Harvey York, and the others around them.Harvey squinted. He did not expect that Jeff Bauer would use the Longmen Warband’s authority.He only heard about half of Longmen’s branch leaders, along with the Inner and Outer Halls supporting Jeff…But after seeing the sight, he finally understood just how immense Jeff’s authority was.Without a doubt, Jeff’s power would definitely be on another level if he decided to go all out. Someone like Joseph would not even be able to compare.While Harvey was curiously watching the sight, a young woman in a black robe walked out of the passenger’s seat of the car in front.Not only did she have an attractive figure, but her cool expression also showed off her heroic figure.More importantly, an unspeakable sense of calmness and confidence could be felt when s
“This guy kept slandering me for no reason, claiming I forged your master’s keepsake. He pointed his weapon at me. He’s even planned to kill my entire family and burn my ancestors to a crisp…Harvey York seemed indifferent.“And all you did was cut his pay for six months?“As Jeff Bauer’s subordinate, are you just going to ignore me like that?“Can you sleep at night like this?”Arya’s face immediately darkened after hearing Harvey’s doubts.Lucca let out a cold chuckle.“Who do you think you are, you b*stard?!“We don’t need you to teach us how to do things!“Do you think you can take me down just because you have Eldest Young Master Bauer by your side?“Let me tell you something! I also belong to the Bauer family.“We all have the same blood, even if I’m just a relative!Lucca showed a wretched smile.“It’s already good enough for you that I’m not getting paid!“Lowly people like you have no right to even be mentioned in front of me!“I’ll let you go for Arya’s sake…
Harvey York did not even give him a chance to speak.He threw the blade in his hand right through Lucca Bauer’s throat.Pfft!Blood spurted out of Lucca. Constant gargling could be heard at that moment. It was obvious that Lucca was on the verge of death.After seeing what had happened…Joseph Bauer, who was trembling on the ground after being crippled, was filled with complete shock. He could not believe the sight before him.He did not expect Harvey to be this domineering.Crippling Joseph was nothing…But he even took Lucca’s life right before Arya without showing respect toward Jeff Bauer!Everyone could tell that even God would not be able to save Lucca’s life this time.At this moment, all that was left on his face was resentment, rage, and disbelief.He thought that Arya’s arrival would give him an out despite the fact that Harvey would get away unscathed. That way, he would at least be able to prepare himself before dealing with Harvey again…But he did not think Ha
“Harvey York! You b*stard!”Arya Johnson came to her senses then.She did not believe that Harvey would take Lucca Bauer’s life right before her.After all, she had been giving warnings, saying that this was her rule, Jeff Bauer’s rule…But Harvey could not be bothered.Arya was boiling with anger at that moment.That said, she had no other choice but to accept the truth.She was mad at Harvey for running his mouth however he pleased. If word about this incident spread, Jeff and Harold Bauer’s conflict would be exposed to the public!The conflict between the two would escalate because of this!Harold would even think that Jeff was intentionally provoking him!Jeff would most definitely not benefit from the situation if it escalated this way.Without a second thought, Arya really wanted to strangle Harvey at that very second.“Did you not hear what I just said?!” she exclaimed furiously.“I told you to let Lucca go!“We’re supposed to deal with him when he gets back! You h
Dozens of experts from the Longmen Warband instinctively raised their weapons after hearing Arya Johnson’s orders.All of them were showing fierce looks when they screamed at the experts of the Bauer family, forcing them to retreat.Some of Lucca Bauer’s trusted subordinates wanted to block the path, but they were immediately slapped aside by the Longmen Warband.Even if the experts were completely infuriated, they had no other choice but to make way.Three minutes later, Harvey York casually sat in his Toyota Prado before he made a gesture, signaling Arya’s men to send Lilian Yates to the hospital.Arya’s veins were bulging out of her forehead before she instinctively walked over.“What do you think you’re doing, Harvey?!“Did you not hear what I just said?!“Young Master Bauer prepared a banquet just for you!”“Go back and tell him something…” replied Harvey while he started his car.“Everything that happened just now was completely different than expected.“I don’t feel t
“Joseph Bauer’s completely crippled. Harold Bauer’s trusted subordinate was killed as well…“Jeff Bauer must be ecstatic at this point, right?“Because of this, Harold and I are forced to go against each other.“If I manage to cripple Harold because of this, Jeff can win the battle for the throne without even lifting a finger.Harvey York squinted with a calm look on his face.“Do you think that Harold meant to do all this? Or did Jeff trick him into doing this instead?”Rachel Hardy and the others looked at each other.Harvey was right.The entire incident seemed coincidental, but this was still a little too much.Both Lucca Bauer and Arya Johnson’s appearances seemed a little too deliberate.If this was all part of Jeff’s plans, then he was a lot more scheming than everyone thought.Rachel frantically twitched her eyes.“So, what should we do next, Sir York?” asked Rachel quietly.“Should we continue with Secretary Xavier’s acquisition plan?”“Of course. Why shouldn’t w
While the staff spoke, a few men in security uniforms came over with cautious looks when they glared at Xynthia Zimmer and the others.“We’re here to take over the chain Budokans originally from Flutwell’s business alliance.“We couldn’t inform you ahead of time because of time constraints…“But don’t worry. This is just a normal transfer of property rights. We won’t affect your work.”Xynthia obviously did her homework. She seemed like an experienced woman as soon as she spoke.“My name is Xynthia. Please tell your management about this so we can make a transfer.”Then, Xynthia’s assistant behind her handed over official documents for the staff to read.“You’re taking over the chain Budokans?”The staff seemed quite surprised, but she also knew what had happened the day before. She nodded before turning back inside without saying another word.Soon, a dozen people in traditional clothing walked out with an elegant-looking woman.The woman was none other than Jeff Bauer’s sev
“Enough talk!”Audrey Lopez instantly cut off Xynthia Zimmer with an annoyed look.“There are no misunderstandings, nor are there any friends here!“I don’t need to call anyone!“This is now Young Master Bauer’s property!“You people better get out of here right now! Stop affecting our business!“If not, I’ll tell Young Master Bauer to teach Harvey York a lesson he won’t forget!Audrey then waved her hand with a cold expression.“Come! Get them out of here!”A dozen security guards furiously rushed forward with firearms in hand.It was Xynthia’s first time seeing such a sight. After hesitating for a moment, she decided to comply for the time being.“We’re leaving!”Xynthia resentfully went back to the Martial hall.“Jeff Bauer bought every single property of Flutwell’s business alliance?Harvey’s eyes lit up after hearing Xynthia’s explanation.“There’s no rush. Let me make a phone call.”Harvey then gave Ansel Torres a call.Ansel froze. He immediately contacted the g
After Harvey managed to deduce Dan's aim and plan, he then started to think about saving Tina. It was not because Tina was important, but it was simply because after saving her, it would immediately destroy Dan and Coco's perfect plan and disgust them.Harvey believed that if he kept on destroying Dan's plans, no matter how tough he was, he would eventually break down. That was why Harvey had already asked Alexei to send people to keep an eye on Tina, resulting in that scene just now.Most importantly, only after Tina managed to get her life back after suffering a near-death experience would she be willing to fully cooperate with her interrogation.Harvey opened the door and walked over to Tina.Tina was already lying on the ground, face down. The blood she lost made her shudder; even her breathing was becoming so weak that people could hardly hear her. Harvey narrowed his eyes and gave her a good look before saying to Alexei, "Get the first aid kit from the car and then call an am
"Oh, Tina. If the princess wants you dead, no one will spare you. Isn't it better to just die peacefully?" sighed Willy as he looked at Tina in her terrible state. Then, he pulled out his silver pistol and aimed at Tina's forehead from afar inside his Land Cruiser. He was going to pull the trigger.Boom!At the critical moment, a Range Rover suddenly appeared from the side and rammed into the Land Cruiser. The Land Cruiser's chassis shook and almost flipped over.Willy, who was aiming at Tina with his pistol, instantly lost his aim.Very quickly, they crawled out from their Land Cruiser. While they were still holding on to their weapons, they had already lost their prideful demeanor. Willy, especially. As an heir in Grand City, he had never received this level of injury before. At that moment, his body shuddered in anger."Which fool did this to me?! I will… Crap!" Before Willy could even finish cursing, he already saw Alexei give him a smile from the driver's seat in his Range
Unfortunately, while the voice messages were sent out, the opposite side refused to accept them. Tina could only scream when she looked at the red exclamation marks. The pursuers in the cars behind her had also opened their cars' sunroofs and taken out their crossbows. When the bolts they launched hit the road, they immediately created holes in the road from the explosions.Thunderblasts!They were the Martial Arts Weapons, Thunderblasts!When Tina saw what they were using, Tina knew that Coco had given them strict orders. They would not stop until they killed her. If she wanted to survive, she had to find someone else to help her.When that thought crossed her mind, Tina immediately turned into a corner on the highway, heading straight toward the Foster Residence's direction. Willy's expression also turned cold when he saw Tina's car change direction as he sat in a Land Cruiser behind her.As one of Dan's right-hand men, he would definitely do his best despite Coco only asking hi
Tina was no fool. The moment she saw the sleeping drugs, she saw through everything. What Coco's secretary asked her to write was not some complaints but her farewell note. With that note and her death, it would be enough to drag Harvey and Vaida into the mud.Tina knew very clearly about this because she had done something similar, treating others as pawns. However, she would never willingly become someone else's pawn, especially when she had to sacrifice her life for someone else's hand on this game board.When she was writing the complaint halfway, Tina made an excuse about her needing to go to the bathroom to compose herself. But at the window, she already saw some people outside planting some evidence while removing their traces.She shuddered. She could sense the cold hand of Death around her throat. She immediately escaped through the window and immediately ran to her own car, leaving without looking back.However, Coco's secretary made his preparations as well. The moment T
"Let's not talk about whether they fail or succeed," said Harvey with a sigh. "From what happened last night, Dan was going to fight me until the end. Next, he was going to manipulate another group to try and kill me again. Unless I leave Grand City, give up on the Three Halls, and my identity as the representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance, all this is never going to stop…"Vaida gave Harvey a thought and asked, "Then, what are you going to do next? If you want to leave, I can send you away."Harvey shook his head. "I haven't completed my objective for coming to Grand City yet. No need to rush. Not to mention, Dan is quite petty, which means that he isn't suitable to become the mayor of Grand City. This city is very important to Country H. While I'm not interested in becoming mayor, I wish the person who becomes the mayor is someone who can serve the country and its people."Hearing Harvey's words, there was a strange glint in Viada's eyes before she said with a smile, "If
The moment the name appeared in Sverker's mind, he opened his mouth with a hoarse voice. "You're… you're the Ministry of Defense's… living legend… The Chief Instructor?!"When Ghostface heard that name, he shuddered with an expression of total disbelief.Impossible!How was it possible!He was the scariest nightmare for the Island Nation and even Sky Plane itself!Harvey sighed and no longer looked at Sverker. Instead, he turned to look at Ghostface and narrowed his eyes. He smiled and said, "Ghostface, let me ask you a question. What is one plus one equal to?"Ghostface instinctively replied, "Two…'"Ha…" Harvey let out a long sigh with a face of regret. "You and Sverker are the same. Both of you have the same problem. You know too much…"In the next moment, the longsword in his hand instantly shattered into fragments and shot in two different directions. A simple action managed to clear the location of any murderous intentions as Ghostface and Sverker both held their throat a
"It's almost my turn, right?" After Harvey parried Sverker's attack easily, Harvey made his move and jumped into the air. The longsword in his hand swung down.The most powerful martial arts in this world were the ones that were the fastest.This attack was not complex at all, but just one look was enough to strike fear into one's heart. Especially Ghostface. When he saw Harvey's attack, there was an indescribable fear within him. He had a feeling that, if Harvey wanted, he could easily kill him on the spot.And then, he also understood that when Harvey was fighting him, he probably did not even use 70% of his full power."Will of the Blade!" When Harvey saw the attack, Sverker's expression also turned into shock. He had practiced the use of a sword for many years, but he never awakened to the Will of the Blade. He did not expect that Harvey would have awakened to it despite his young age!Whoosh!Sverker did not dare to face such a simple but terrifying attack head-on. All he co
Sverker smiled at Harvey, as if he had sensed Harvey staring at him. Then, he turned to look at Ghostface once more. "If you want me to do something about this, there won't be any problems. But remember. After this, I will lead all the operations in Grand City. The Origin Ninjas will be my subordinates."Ghostface's expression darkened a little, but he promptly replied, "That's fine. I agree on everyone's behalf.""Good. Remember your promise."After that, Sverker took another step forward. He immediately landed and stood on the hilt of one of the longswords impaled into the ground. His hands were behind him, looking like a peerless grandmaster.He proudly looked at Harvey before chuckling and asked, "You're the representative of the Country H Martial Arts Alliance, Harvey, am I correct? I heard you're the most powerful man in the alliance. But now that I get to see you in person, you look quite ordinary. Even if you're strong, you probably don't have the brain power since you walk
After giving it a few more looks, Harvey ignored the surroundings, and his gaze fell on Ghostface's figure ahead.When Ghostface had reached about a few hundred feet into the forest, he suddenly raised his hand, and a small repeating crossbow appeared in his hand. He did not even turn around and immediately pulled the trigger at where Harvey would be.Whoosh!Harvey's expression was calm. When he saw the bolts flying toward him, he simply stomped his foot on the ground. The rocks fired upward and instantly deflected all the bolts.Ghostface's expression changed once more when his attack was deflected, and he quickly retreated. Ghostface was escaping increasingly faster because it was obvious that he knew he would die a terrible death if he ended up in Harvey's hands.Harvey narrowed his eyes as he followed Ghostface without rushing. That was because Ghostface's actions were too intentional, as if he was worried that Harvey would not follow him at all. That was why, despite Harvey
