“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
Many people knew Adrian to be one of the most outstanding disciples in the Golden Palace’s outer circle, and that he had a chance to become the young lord of the sacred martial arts training ground.Adrian must’ve assigned Smoke to Koen in order to get the support he needed and gain total control of Golden Palace’s outer circle.Simply put, the engagement banquet represented Adrian’s absolute will.Not only did this mean that Adrian was determined to take over the entire outer circle, but he was also dead set on permanently dealing with Harvey and the others.If they only ruined Koen’s engagement, they would probably still have the chance to live. However, they were destined to die horrible deaths if they tampered with Adrian’s plans!Bam!An elderly man in a yellow robe took a step forward from the corner where he stood, and then pounced.He looked like an eagle diving down onto his prey, flying right toward Layne before swiping its claws.A killer move!The man was planning
Even though Smoke was filled with hate and resentment, he dared not cause any more trouble.He had no choice but to crawl to the side and make way for Harvey.He knew that if he continued challenging Harvey at this point, Rachel would definitely beat him to death.“Harvey! How dare you cripple my fiance’s subordinates?!”“You’re even here with a coffin! You’re ruining my engagement banquet!”Emily’s face darkened in an instant when she saw Harvey walking in.“You think we’re easy targets?!”“Go! Kill him!”No matter the case, Koen was still the Benett family’s son-in-law.Disrespecting him would mean disrespecting the Benett family.Thus, Emily had no choice but to take action.Besides, she was terrified of Harvey saying things that couldn’t be made public. She wanted Harvey dead as soon as possible.“Die!”Eight experts from the Benett family pulled out their golden swords and pounced at Harvey without hesitation.Bam!Rachel laughed nonchalantly. She grabbed the sword
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
Bart coughed out a mouthful of blood after being slapped. Even a few teeth were in the blood as he looked completely out of his element. He wanted to stand up and fight against Harvey until the end, but he finally discovered that his arrogance and power meant nothing before Harvey."Harvey! You've crossed a line!" Zoe finally could not sit still and threw the cup she held onto the floor. Then, she pointed his finger at Harvey and yelled, "Do you even know what you're doing? Don't you know we have hundreds of hostages? Do you think we're still fighting in an arena in Flutwell?"So what if you can fight? So what if you're the representative? The Second Caste succeeded in a military coup! We have millions of soldiers and countless weapons! No matter how powerful you are, do you think they're more powerful than modern firearms? Regardless of your influence, do you think it's enough to suppress a country? No matter how rich you are, can you buy the entire Country I?"I'm warning you now,
Argh!Bart screamed as he pulled out his dagger from its sheath, wanting to stab Harvey in the gut. However, Harvey would never give him that chance. He spun and kicked Bart in the head.Bart's figure shuddered before being thrown away and slammed into a marble pillar with a bang. The sound of a crack followed, and the marble pillar instantly formed cracks that looked like spider webs as Bart fell to the ground.Bart was emotionally shaken. He wanted to stand up, but he had only crawled up halfway. His legs gave way, and he crawled on the floor again.He was crippled?With just one hit, he was already crippled? Just what kind of a monster was Harvey? The elites from the Second Caste looked at Harvey with mouths agape. They were prideful of their strengths, and many had trained in the Three Great Temples. They all believed they were better than everyone else. Especially Bart, who was one of the prodigies of the Celestial Temple.But when Bart encountered Harvey, he could not even
Bart looked arrogant. The Second Caste had the entire Country I under control and had about a hundred hostages from the Xavier family. How was the pretty boy going to deal with him this way?It must be a joke!"Do something to you?" Harvey turned around and approached Bart. Before Bart could even react, Harvey already lightly patted his face."I'm the one who defeated your squad of so-called prodigies. I was also the one who kicked Julio out of Flutwell. The famous people in Country I are nothing to me. Do you think dealing with garbage like you is challenging for me? Ridiculous."Then, Harvey pulled out a paper towel and wiped his palm in disdain."You bastard…" Bart was instantly infuriated when he finally realized that he had just been slapped in the face by Harvey. He wanted to get the gun on the table to gun Harvey down when he suddenly remembered something. His expression darkened as he narrowed his eyes and glared at Harvey coldly."You're the representative of Country H M
"Watch your mouth, Bart!" warned Yvonne. "Do you really think you've already won? Do you really think no one can do anything about you?"Bart laughed arrogantly and puffed out a ring of smoke. "We are the Second Caste. We are now the rulers of Country I. We have armies amounting to millions and countless assets. Do something about us? I don't believe someone like that even exists. Maybe you can try to do something for me instead? I swear I'll kneel before you!"Bart snickered after he said that. Any man knew what he was talking about.Clap! Clap!At this time, the sound of someone clapping could be heard."I see… I didn't expect the Second Caste from Country I would be so powerful. But I'm not someone who believes in the word impossible… Maybe I can do something to you instead?" Harvey's indifferent voice echoed in the hall as he slowly walked inside, clapping his hands.Zoe's expression froze when she heard that voice. When she saw who was talking, she could not help but shudder
"I don't know whether you're cowards, but all I need to do is send word to Sword Camp about how you disrespect the Chief Instructor. Even if the Chief Instructor isn't here, Ethan from Sword Camp will teach you a lesson!" warned Yvonne coldly."You're using Ethan to scare me?" Bart blurted out a laugh. "Do you think I didn't know Ethan had just been issued a restraining order? Without the Ministry of Defense's orders, he wouldn't dare make a move on us. It's just business… But will your ministry allow it to become an all-out war? How ridiculous! If you're that good, you can kill me here. That way, I'll acknowledge you're at least respectable! What's the point of wasting your breath with me here!"Then, Bart took out a pistol and immediately threw it before Yvonne with an arrogant expression. Yvonne's expression turned dark. It was obvious that she did not expect Bart to be so mad."What? You don't know how to use a gun? Come here, I'll teach you how. All you need to do is to turn th
