After letting out a sigh, Harvey gave Rachel a call so she would send the three top talents to the backyard.Right as Rachel was about to do so, a Toyota Alphard zoomed right toward the entrance before stopping immediately.A dozen people in traditional clothing got out of the car soon after, smug and prideful.They instantly pushed the crowd aside and charged forward without caring about the security screaming at them.“Young masters!”A mean-spirited woman in her thirties completely ignored the crowd scolding her when she strode to the front; she pushed a young girl down while she was consulting Amber about martial arts knowledge.“I saw online that there are a few impressive young masters who came to Martial Hall!” the woman exclaimed.“I heard you’re insanely strong and talented…”“But more importantly, you don’t hold back on anything when you teach! You don’t even take any of their money!”“I’ve been looking for two live-in instructors to teach my three-year-old baby boy
“M’lady! M’lady!”The people behind the woman were panicking.A man who looked like the butler stepped forward and pinched the cranky rich woman’s upper lip.“Please don’t let anything happen to yourself, M’lady!”“Our entire family relies on you!”“You little b*tch! Don’t you know that M’lady respects you enough for you to teach her child?!”“How dare you decline her request!”“You’ll pay if anything happens to her!”The butler took a step forward and slapped Amber on her beautiful face.The slap was loud and crisp.Frightened by the sight of the woman coughing blood, Amber completely forgot that she was a martial artist; she couldn’t even react to the slap.She felt completely sluggish.In the past, people would usually ask her politely to do something…It was her first time meeting such an unreasonable person out in the open.Philip and Albus were the same; they were top talents with impressive strength.But at the end of the day, they had little to no experience.A
“Harvey York?”“You’re the owner of the Martial Hall?”The butler sized up Harvey before chuckling coldly.“You’re the legendary man who’s been fishing for fame, the so-called master who’d do anything for money?”“I heard about it already. You raised the fees to at least fourteen thousand dollars for anyone to enroll here!”“You even limited the number of people to be enrolled per semester!”“You’re just hoarding the spots yourself so they seem more expensive than they really are!”“You’re squeezing money out of people!”“As a master, not only are you not thinking of the people—not only are you not trying to spread your martial arts to the entire world…”“You’re even racking your brains just to earn a quick buck!”“You people are disgusting!”The butler spat on the ground.“Do you know who M’lady is?!”“She’s a relative of Young Master Bierstadt from the Golden Palace, the sacred martial arts training ground!”“If anything happens to M’lady, Young Master Bierstadt will ch
“I refuse,” Harvey said firmly.“What did you say?!”The woman instantly raised her tone after hearing those words.“What right do you have to refuse?!”“Let me tell you something! You have no choice but to pay up, no matter what! There are people who’ll come for you if you don’t!”The woman was boiling with anger after seeing Harvey disrespect her so blatantlyShe then pointed furiously at Amber, Philip, and Albus, all the while coughing up blood.“And you three!”“Just admit you’re weak already!”“You think you can just start teaching people because you know a little bit about martial arts?!”“In reality, You’re nothing!”“You’re teaching the students a bunch of useless things. You’re being so picky with them too!”“Who do you think you are?!”“If I were you, I’d slam my head on the ground and kill myself by now!”“I’ll report you to the Martial Arts Alliance when I’m out of here!”“This is a scam! I’ll make sure that your reputation plummets!”The three young talents
Vroom!Ten minutes later, sounds of engines could be heard from outside. A row of SUVs were parked at the entrance.A group of strong-looking men in golden robes hopped out of the cars.They were all carrying swords on their waists and bore fierce expressions. A rascally-looking young man walked out from the crowd.He was about five feet seven; he had a head of dyed blonde hair and the flushed complexion of a drunkard.He had a gloomy yet dignified expression.The mean woman and the people behind her immediately swarmed the young man with simpering expressions.“You’re finally here, Young Master Bierstadt!”“Those b*stards completely disrespected you! They didn’t even care about Golden Palace!”“You need to help us!”“How many times have I told you to mention my name when you get in trouble?”“Nobody in Flutwell dares to go against me, Koen Bierstadt!”“What?! He’s Koen Bierstadt?!”After hearing the name, the crowd was immediately horrified.Koen was only an outer dis
“Enough of this nonsense!”“Do you think I care about stupid details like right or wrong?”“Nothing is greater than my reputation!”Koen was clearly annoyed.“Since you’re from Golden Palace as well, I’ll give you a chance.”Koen was already informed of what had happened.“Number one: give my cousin the money she wants!”“Number two: get those three little b*stards to work for her for free! What’s more, they have to do that for three whole years.”“Number three: make them kneel on the spot!”“You’ll come with me after that! I’ll let it slide when all of the conditions are met!”“If not, then don’t blame me for what happens next.”“You’re the ones in the wrong! You can’t do this!” Layne exclaimed in a trembling voice.“What? You’re going to talk reason with me?!” Koen instantly lashed out.“You think I’m scared to go against you people?!”“Even after I destroy this place and cripple the little b*stards, you’ll still have to do everything as I say!”“Golden Palace is eve
“I’m not the same as you.”Harvey looked calmly at Koen.“I stomp on countless young masters with malicious intent all the damn time. This is getting really annoying for me.”“That said, I wouldn’t mind dealing with another if you have a death wish.”“Golden Palace can’t help you here.”Harvey pointed at the mean woman, his face cold.“Besides, I changed my mind.”“I want that woman to grovel in front of my friends as an apology. I want her to beg for their mercy.”“If she doesn’t do that, I’ll cripple her myself. You have my word!”“Even God can’t get her out of this!”“Oh?”Koen chuckled, filled with unbridled rage.“You’ve got guts, young man!”“You’re saying that you’ll go against me?!”“I understand having a little bit of ego because of your accomplishments…”“But there aren’t a lot of people as cocky as you!”“I can turn you into a damn porcupine if I want to! Don’t believe me?!”Koen waved his hand, and the people behind him fiercely pointed their crossbows at H
“Interesting. Really interesting…”Koen clapped, his face cold.“Not bad. Not bad at all.”“It’s my first time seeing someone insulting me and slapping my men away in Flutwell!”“Impressive!”“Enough yapping. Are you making her kneel or not?” Harvey said, not wasting a single second.“Or would you rather me teach her how to do things instead?”“What the f*ck?! I can’t believe you’re cockier than I am!”Koen was cackling out of pure rage; his expression was completely twisted as he laughed out loud.“Let me tell you something, kid! My people will not apologize!”“On the contrary, you’ll have to kneel in front of her house for three whole days!”“If not, I’ll make sure to come for you sooner or later!”“You have no chance no matter how strong your support is!”“I’m giving you thirty seconds to think about it. Kneel and crawl out of the entrance, then keep kneeling there!”“If you don’t, I’ll break every single limb you have!”“And if you resist, I’ll kill you on the spot!”
In Djinn's understanding, Neve was just your usual run-of-the-mill blue blood in Grand City. How did she know so much? How could she learn that they were coming and made preparations for them?Neve coldly answered, "Of course, I can't foretell what will happen. But what if someone wanted to do me a favor and told me to pay more attention? What do you think of the possibility of this person being the same person as the one who told you to come here?""Told me to come here?" Djinn's expression changed. "That damn fool Da…"Then, he suddenly realized what was happening. "You tricked me, woman?!""Tricked you?" Neve spoke with a smile. "I'm not tricking you. But, the person behind me has already foreseen everything.""The person behind you?" Djinn's eyes twitched again. "Just who is this person behind you? Is it her?""No. Sis Vaida is here just to protect me. Oh, right. Her name is the Swarm Queen."When hearing this name, Djinn's eyes grew wide. As one of the elites of Sky Plane,
To the Islanders, whether it was killed or be killed, it did not matter much. During the Warring States, their entire civilization almost became extinct.This was nothing at all.However, all the elites who accompanied Djinn were elites from Sky Plane. To think that they died terribly… How could it not make him fearful? Djinn thought that while it would not be a walk in the park to complete this mission, he still needed to put in some effort.But he never expected that all the people he took with him had all crumpled on the ground, dead. They were Kings of Arms elites. Whether it was the swordsmen from the Origin Sword Style or the ninjas from the Origin Ninjustu, they were all the backbone of their respective schools. Each one of them required a lot of time and effort to train.He did not expect them to all die in such a terrifying manner. All he had left to say was this woman in white was simply too frightening.But when faced with his question, the woman in white did not say an
This changed Djinn's expression. Then, he finally saw the name of the drama. There was only one word shown. Ambush.The moment Djinn saw that word, his expression turned extremely dark."Something's wrong! Hear my orders, everyone! Take your drugs and attack with full force! Kill Neve Foster!" Djinn was also someone quite decisive. Once he noticed something was amiss with the current situation, he did not retreat and even quickly gave his orders.At this point, they were no longer in a position to retreat. As he made his orders, all the ninjas and swordsmen pulled out the longsword by their waists. All of them were ready to pounce at their target.But no matter how strong they were, they could not stop themselves from making war cries, as if they did not care about their own lives. However, the expected battle to the deaths did not occur at all. When the Island Nation elites cried out, the white figure in the living room reappeared in a flash.At this time, the Island Nation elite
Shortly, a ninja in black garb appeared not far away in front of them. He was the scout sent to investigate ahead. The scout's figure appeared right before Djinn. He bowed and said, "Lord Djinn."Djinn coldly asked, "How's the situation ahead?"The scout whispered, "I've confirmed that Geoffrey has joined the Grand City's Seven Families Joint Meeting. Three-fourths of the Universal Sect's elites had gone to the meeting. I have also confirmed that the place Neve stayed in, a courtyard at the back, isn't that strictly guarded. Our people have already hacked the security cameras in our route. We can immediately enter."Then, the scout quickly took out his tablet and showed Djinn some videos and pictures. Djinn looked at them and could not help but exclaim, "Good. Very good. Then let's do this together. Everyone, remember that we must finish this as quickly as possible. Our objective is to kill Neve and ignore everyone else. Understand?"Djinn's tone was low and serious."Yes!" All th
"That should work," said Coco after considering it. "I never liked Neve for the longest time. If we can pin her death on Vaida and Harvey, there's no harm to me at all. But we can't use anyone from Parkerville, so I'll need to make some arrangements…""No need for that," Dan said. "No matter how weak the Fosters are, they're still one of the Seven Families of Grand City. No one can touch them if one doesn't give them their all. It's best to get Sverker or Ghostface to kill her. I've been sealing all the entrances so far and not letting the people from Sky Plane enter. I believe they're very willing to cooperate if I simply ask for a favor."Dan gave it a deep thought after a while. Then, he smiled and said, "Right, I'll personally inform Clarion about this. Telling him that his beloved is in danger. I wonder, will it be Harvey's fault again if Clarion went to save her without making any preparations and ended up dying?"Coco's expression was merciless when she heard Dan's plans, thi
When Coco heard what Dan had to say, she gave him an expectant look. "Dan, when you finally become mayor, I'll be more than just the princess of Parkerville. I will be the princess of the entire Grand City! Let's see who dares to cross me then!"Then, Dan smiled gently at Coco. "It's good that you finally understand this.""But, the problem is that I still can't let this go! Vaida and Harvey have crossed a line! How could they slap a face as pretty as mine? How ridiculous!" Coco held her still-swollen face, looking vicious."Not to mention, Vaida even wanted me to reimburse her for all the profit I had already taken from the restaurant! But am I supposed to give that up? I can't bear the loss of face!" Coco said as a cold glint appeared in her eyes. It was obvious that she was never going to let it slide."Do you really want to get revenge?" Dan asked after giving it a thought. "The only person who could officially keep the Seven Families under control was the Hierophant. You can t
"He might look like a simple man, but every time he benefits from something, it's always because of good luck. But when someone is always this lucky, then the luck becomes part of his power. In the past, I also believed that I could easily crush him. But the result? Just how much have we lost in Grand City? "Clarion, Durandal… Other than these two, how many more must we sacrifice? How many people must we lose? That's why when we're targeting him, whether we choose peace or war, we must think things through and consider the consequences. Otherwise, we might be in huge trouble if we're careless…"Obviously, Dan was learning from his past mistakes. After failing multiple times, he had a deep understanding of Harvey. Even if her most beloved sister was utterly humiliated, even if Parkerville was humiliated entirely, Dan still believed that he needed to be careful about this. Since no one could tell who would come up on top if this continued."Fine. Since we can't secretly attack or get
Just when Harvey and Alexei were shocked at the truth Vaida had revealed, Coco was back in her home. Not only was Coco still awake, but she was also pacing around Dan's room with an angered expression."Of course, I know he's the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance and also know that he's Vaida's so-called man of destiny. He even humiliated Sky Plane at the training hall earlier. And then, he even made that traitor Clarion turn on you after what happened at the casino."But are we supposed to be scared of him because of all this? Kill him! Kill him now! I believe with your power, you have all the means to make him suffer and die in Grand City! What right does an outsider have to show off like that in Grand City? Are you kidding me?!"Coco no longer had the charm and grace when she was outside. All that was on her beautiful face was a vengeful expression. She wished she could stomp on Harvey right now and kill him using her high heels.Dan ignored her and simply drank the ho
When Coco heard what Harvey had said, her face twisted in anger. She wished she could pounce at him and tear his flesh with her teeth. But the last of her conscience made her suppress her anger.All these years, she called herself the princess of Grand City and openly said she could one-up all the women in this city, becoming the so-called number one lady. As for Vaida, the former number one? Coco did not pay her much attention and simply treated her as a mental patient who was not even worth her time.But now, she needed to apologize to Vaida?At that moment, all Coco could feel was her utter suffocation. But if she refused to apologize, Harvey would not let her be. He might even slap her again.Meanwhile, if she called reinforcements from Dan and Parkerville, it might not be enough to suppress this fool. Not to mention, this might make her the laughingstock of Grand City.When those thoughts crossed her mind, Coco decided to suppress her anger and end this situation. Once this w
