“Alright. That’s enough for today, Maiden Garcia.“Go back and tell Axel Garcia something for me.“Schemes don’t work like this. If he wants to make empty promises, at least show the real stuff first.“People aren’t stupid nowadays.“I have had no interest in your offer since the beginning, but I am interested in you.Harvey York held Zoe Garcia’s hand quietly before taking back his card with a profound smile.“Maiden Garcia, some of the things you’re promising me are just too good to be true. Those things are simply out of reach…“But not the Martial Hall.“We’ll still welcome you with open arms when you’re ready!“I don’t go back on my word…”Then, Harvey chuckled before walking away.Zoe’s mouth twitched when she was utterly enraged. She quietly put her hand back in her bag soon after.A card slipped out without a sound.Right when Harvey retrieved his card, he snuck another into Zoe’s hand.Zoe glanced at the Black Card in the corner of her eye with a hesitant look.
Harvey York frowned. He could tell that this was the Indians’ doing without even doing any investigation.Safe to say that they were extremely scheming, carrying out two underhanded tactics simultaneously.That said, Harvey knew Axel Garcia would not dare kill off Amber Levine and the others to prevent the people of Country H from cursing him. After all, this would be too obvious.That was why Harvey was not that worried.“Did anyone suspicious go to the Martial Hall today?” asked Harvey after giving a thought about the situation.“Not really, but those troublemakers from the Golden Palace did.“Though, they weren’t here to cause trouble. They came to apologize to Amber and the others.“The mean woman even groveled right in front of the three…”“The Golden Palace?”Harvey frowned. He instantly knew that something was wrong.After all, they picked such a peculiar time to visit.Harvey quickly called a cab before heading back to the Martial Hall.Harvey arrived before thirty
“That said, if this is really the potion we’re talking about, the only way Amber Levine and the others turned this way is because they ingested something.“But the disciples of Longmen’s Law Enforcement are in charge of everything we eat and drink here. There’s no way they’d suddenly turn against us either.“Did they eat or drink anything that the outsiders brought in?”“The outsiders brought in…?”Layne Naiswell’s expression changed.“Tea…”“What?” Harvey York instinctively looked over.Layne’s expression instantly worsened.“About the people who came to apologize. The mean woman poured three cups of tea for the young talents while kneeling on the ground.“She said that drinking the tea would mean that they forgave her. If they didn’t drink the tea, she’d keep kneeling on the ground forever…“But the tea leaves and the water are ours. How…?”Harvey’s face darkened before he let out a huge sigh.“It’ll be extremely easy for them to poison those three.“For example, they
At ten o’clock at night. The Golden Courtyard.This place belonged to Flutwell’s sacred martial arts training grounds, the Golden Palace, and was also an important stronghold for their prominent figures.Rain was pouring outside, but the courtyard was still flooded with bright lights and people walking all over the place.Decorations were placed all over the main hall. It was indeed a dazzling sight.After all, this was the engagement banquet of the Golden Palace’s top outer disciple, Koen Bierstadt himself.His partner was none other than the daughter of an elder from the Golden Palace.Safe to say that this was quite a strong alliance.Koen invited many friends in the martial arts world to join the banquet.A banquet like this was where people from the upper social circle socialized and made friends.Even though many people here were martial artists, they were all fashionable.The women wore dresses from luxurious brands while showing off their limited-edition bags and acce
Emily Benett had a slender body with her hair tied into a bun. Her neck was also completely covered in jewelry.A diamond as big as a pigeon egg was hanging on her finger, dazzling every single woman around her.Without looking closely, people would actually think of the two as a golden couple.Koen Bierstadt burst out laughing when the people in front of him were pampering him and Emily while giving toasts.“Please, everyone! I’ll drink with you! Don’t make it hard for Emily!”“I’ll drink for her as well!”Koen happily drank Emily’s glass of 90-point wine.Emily showed a sweet smile after seeing the sight.“You’re too kind, Koen. I regret not being able to meet you sooner.”“Hahaha! Stop showing off your love in front of all of us!”“Come! Come! Let’s drink! We wish you a happy marriage!”The young masters and wealthy ladies had a toast before they downed their wine with a smile on their faces.“There’s something I heard previously, Young Master Bierstadt.”“Harvey York,
After being afraid of people catching on to something, Koen Bierstadt quickly stood up and showed a warm smile.“The conflict between Harvey York and me isn’t that serious anyway.“I don’t want to talk about that incident anymore.“Besides, people like us wouldn’t care about such trivial things like taking revenge.“No matter the case, Harvey has done much for the country by participating in the fights.“For my sake, please don’t look for him for more trouble.“As for how he’ll end up, that’s for him to decide.”The young masters and wealthy ladies nodded in unison after hearing Koen’s words.“You’re so generous, Young Master Bierstadt!”“We’re the narrow-minded ones for even saying something like this!”“Harvey did all those heinous things and went against so many people. He deserves to be punished anyway! There’s no need for you to do anything!”“Alright. Enough about this. Let’s eat and drink to our heart’s content!Emily Benett stood up to change the subject before she
But after the initial shock, everyone showed disdainful looks.The name started to ring a bell. They quickly came to their senses soon after.‘Isn’t he one of the top talents fighting against the Indians?’It was a shame that everyone in Flutwell believed that other than Amber Levine and the young talents, the others were utterly useless.They thought Harvey York only got lucky because the Indians did not come to Flutwell before to challenge him.If not, he would have been done for by then.‘How dare he even cause trouble here?’‘Who does he think he is?’‘A God of War?’Koen Bierstadt and Emily Benett’s faces darkened instantly.They did not expect that Harvey would show up at such a crucial time.Not only was he challenging the couple, but he was also challenging the entirety of the Golden Palace!Harvey crossed his arms as he walked inside through the rain.Soon after, eight disciples of Longmen’s Law Enforcement calmly walked in.They were carrying a black coffin when
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!In just a single moment, a string of golden knives flew out in fierce succession.A quick and ruthless attack!Many disciples of Golden Palace fell, screaming in pain as they tumbled down, rolling on the ground while covering their wrists.Harvey was impressed. It seemed like Layne had recovered quite a bit.If that wasn’t the case, she wouldn’t be able to make such a spectacle.“What?!”The remaining disciples of Golden Palace were shocked.They all knew who Layne was, but they never imagined that she was actually this terrifying!Layne pulled out a long, thin golden sword.She took a step forward and then jumped right past the disciples at lightning speed; the disciples all stumbled back and immediately held their wrists.In just a single move, all of them succumbed to defeat!The disciples all came from the same sacred martial arts training ground, but Layne was simply way out of their league!She threw her sword away right after.A disciple, wh
