“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
"Or maybe you forgot who you are, Jesse. How dare you conspire with the Islanders!" When Jesse heard Harvey's words, he narrowed his eyes. Harvey's questioning was sharp and dug into his heart. However, from Harvey's angle, he was not exactly wrong.Jesse took a deep breath and said, "I'm not going to lie to you. The Xavier family as a whole has its own considerations, as well as my own personal thoughts."But you are gravely mistaken. The Xaviers aren't conspiring with the Islanders. However, we simply don't want you to go to our family and mess things up before Yvonne is married. So… Harvey, stay here."On the one hand, this is for Yvonne's own good if you really care about her. On the other hand, isn't this my way of protecting you too? You can't imagine just how many people outside want you dead…"Firstly, I can understand why because I exposed just how shameless families like you are, despite my own contempt for it." Harvey shrugged. "But I don't understand your second point.
"We meet again, Harvey. What? Do you think Dragon Cell's fried chicken is to your taste, so you came in for a stroll?"At the same time when Donald was being killed, Jesse walked into the Dragon Palace's interrogation room and watched Harvey enjoying his fried chicken meal with a hint of helplessness on his face."I didn't want to, but they got me with some concrete evidence, so I have no choice," Harvey said as he put down his fork before turning over to Jesse. "I've got a few things I want to ask you, but you're quite hard to get a hold of. But I think it should be quite easy to see you here, so I came in.""Questions for me?" Jesse asked, confused. "That's why you're here?""What else?" Harvey said with a shrug. "Oh, right. I also want to see whether Wolsing's Dragon Cell has already completely fallen and if they can still uphold their justice and prove the ingenuousness of the innocents."If you can't prove my innocence in the shortest possible time, then I believe that Dragon
Liza chuckled when he saw Donald, who was so confident in his abilities. "If you put some more effort into it, with your abilities, there's no doubt that Harvey will die a terrible death, am I right?"Donald rubbed his swollen face. "That little bastard hit my face until it's all swollen. Of course, I must get back at him a hundred, no, a thousand times! Otherwise, all this pain and humiliation will be for nothing."Liza bowed. "He deserves it all." "Alright, I'll get some rest. After everything, I can feel my bones aching," said Donald as he set down his glass and walked to his bedroom.But the instant he went inside, he turned around to look at Liza. "Contact Mitsuki and ask if the Island Nation still has any other evidence. If there's none, ask them if she can fabricate something concrete soon. If we want to make this case as solid as possible, we also need other evidence! And I believe they have already prepared it.""Understood!" Liza nodded and immediately left to arrange i
Just as Harvey was imprisoned because of Rita's testimony, Donald returned to his mansion with a pleasing smile.While he had lived overseas, he had plenty of assets in Wolsing.On the one hand, it was to make some money. On the other hand, it was to have a place to stay. And his favorite place was Arcadia Garden located in the third rim of Wolsing. It was not spacious and had three courtyards, and the architecture was quite old, as if it had not been renovated for decades.That being said, Arcadia Garden's design was quite old, but all the antique, the pottery, the statues… All of them were pretty valuable. If one were to live in a place like this, they would no doubt lose themselves in a life of decadence, becoming full of themselves.At this time, someone pushed open the door into Arcadia Garden with a creak.Then, Donald walked into the estate with a gratified expression, sitting on the sofa in the living room."Hahahaha! What a show! Isn't that Harvey quite bombastic? Isn't
"Now that we have all the evidence, why don't you just surrender?" Mitsuki looked at Harvey with a smirk.Harvey calmly replied, "Firstly, I have no interest in framing you Islanders. Because logically speaking, the weak will frame the strong. In my eyes, all of you Islanders are nothing. You're not even on my radar."Secondly, if I really want to kill Wilhelm, will I be so stupid to kill him just after he and I were in a scuffle earlier? Can't I wait for a few more days?"Thirdly, you showed a fingerprint and said all the evidence is clear. But you can lift my fingerprints from my residence and my office."Fourthly, you Islanders have just used Donald and Wilhelm to threaten me, so they'll make me give up on the duel. But when that fails, I'm suddenly accused of being a murderer, as if I'll go to prison at any time."There are too many coincidences. I believe the one who killed Wilhelm is someone from Island Nation, so that you can frame me.""Us? Framing you?" Mitsuki said as i
Harvey did not expect Charlotte to be willing to fight the Shinto Way for him until the very end. However, he did not want Charlotte to fight for him now.Looking at the crowd gathering around them, itching to get a fight and the people from Dragon Palace… Then he noticed Mitsuki's deep smile…Harvey sighed.He did not mind fighting the Islanders here.But if he fought with the people from Dragon Palace because of him, no matter who won, it would be a disgrace if news of this spread. Harvey raised his right hand and said, "Charlotte, no need to fight here. Didn't Mitsuki say she has enough evidence to the point that the officers from Dragon Cell are with her? If that's the case, then let's investigate. I believe I can prove my own innocence.Harvey ignored them and left the ICU.When Mitsuki and Donald saw what had happened, they looked and smiled deeply at each other and quickly followed him.-Half an hour later. In the interrogation room, Dragon Cell Wolsing branch.As th
When Harvey looked at how righteous Mitsuki was trying to portray herself, he was unsure how to react.Meanwhile, Donald immediately gave Mitsuki a thumbs up and said, "Just as expected from one of the three primary disciples of the Shinto Way, Mitsuki! Not only can you fight, but you're also guided by righteousness! With Mitsuki willing to preside over what's right, this means that there's still justice in this world. It also means that in Country H, those with power will still be punished!"Then, Donald gave Harvey a complacent smile, feeling that Harvey would have to submit even if he refused.Charlotte frowned when she saw what had happened.The Islanders were known for their particularity. They would never act rashly before they had all the evidence.However, from Mitsuki's reaction… Could it be that Harvey really did kill Wilhelm? But Charlotte instantly felt that it was impossible. For someone like Harvey, if he really had something against Wilhelm, he would handle it on th
"You…" Donald was so furious that he could not stop shaking. "You're making things up, Harvey! Even if I wanted to do something like that, I wouldn't have killed Wilhelm! He's a dear friend!"Then, Harvey said, "Does that matter to a person like you? You can even kill your own father as long as the price is right, much less someone unrelated to you."Donald could not stop shuddering when he heard that. However, he knew that Harvey was not completely wrong."Mr. Harvey, are all people from your country just like you? Refusing to admit to the crimes you commit? But I have proof that you're the one who killed the deacon!" A cold voice came from the other side of the corridor at this time."We went to the crime scene where William was murdered just now. We found a longsword with your fingerprint on it. This is the smoking gun. What else do you have to say?"Harvey turned and looked at the owner of the voice. He was one of the three primary disciples of Shinto Way, Mitsuki. She walked
"Donald! You're from Country A! Now that you're here from your so-called cultured country, you should understand something simple… You need to provide proof for everything to determine one's crime!" Charlotte spoke to Donald with an icy stare."For you to accuse our representative Harvey of murder without any proof, what you're doing is slander! I understand you're angry because you lost a close friend, so I don't blame you for the outrage. But if this happens again, don't say I didn't warn you!" Charlotte said that and placed her hand on the hilt of her sword, as if she was willing to fight if they refused to back down.After Charlotte had done this, plenty of figures appeared all over the hospital. It was obvious they were all enforcer students from the alliance. When they saw Charlotte had many more people on their side, Donald and his entourage were furious. They glared at Charlotte brutally, as if wanting to attack, but chose not to since Charlotte had more people on her side.
