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
“Yeah! Why would my fiance do something like that?!”“He told everyone to let you off the hook for the sake of the country and its people, too!”“He’s such a generous man! Don’t you think it’s shameful to slander him like that?!”“Besides, it’s your problem that Amber and the others were forced to be in deep sleep! That has nothing to do with us!”“Don’t think you can say whatever you want just because you have some fighters with you!”Clap, clap, clap!Harvey clapped, his face filled with admiration.“No wonder everyone’s calling you two the world’s best cheating couple!”“Looks like it’s all true, after all!”“It’s my first time seeing someone lie through their teeth like that.”Koen’s face darkened instantly.“You’ll pay for saying things like that, Harvey!”“Have you thought of the consequences for saying that without proof?!”Harvey smiled.“Proof? Didn’t you two idiots already give that to me?”“When did I say that Amber and the others were poisoned? When did I say
“Maiden Garcia had a chat with me today.”“She said that she wants me to join her. In exchange, she’ll give me ten billion dollars, three hundred acres of land, and the title of Brahmin!”“She told me you’re already on their side too.”“The royal family of India even gave you the title of Kshatriya!”“And for that, you got your cousin to fake an apology to Amber and the others in the Martial Hall.”“You made her mix the Life Elixir into the tea before she fed it to the young talents,” Harvey said calmly.“At the same time, the royal family agreed to give you the title of Brahmin if you keep devoting yourself to India while lurking in Country H.”“That said, they never expected Zoe to sell you out, no?”“Not only did she give me a lot of proof, but all the conversations you had with the Indians were recorded as well.”“Tell me. Aren’t you scared of dragging your entire family down for conspiring with the enemy?”“Huh?!”After looking at Harvey’s calm look on his face, everyon
Koen waved his hand, gesturing to his subordinates to shut the door.He then took a step forward and glared at Harvey.“As far as I know, it hasn’t even been a few weeks since you’ve known Amber and the others.”“I’m pretty sure the relationship between you people isn’t as close as you portray it to be.”“You’re here to get back at me for them? What a joke!”“In this day and age, every man fights for himself! Do you really think I’d believe your stupid lies?”“I know exactly why you’re here right now!”“As long as you ignore Amber’s incident and forget about what happened today…”“As long as you don’t say a single word about this…”“I have a check worth one hundred and fifty million dollars for you. Consider this a gift for our friendship!”Koen painstakingly pulled out a check.This was given to him by the Indians…Yet, he had to pull it out before he could even warm it up in his pocket; he was completely infuriated by this.That said, he had no other choice.If he didn’
Emily glared fiercely at Harvey.“Don’t think you can boss us around just because you have the footage!”“Don’t think that these people will side with you, either!”“Let me tell you something! They’re all related to me!”“No matter what we do, they’ll never stand on your side! Rather, they’d forget everything that ever happened!”Emily looked around her with a cold gaze.“Come on! Tell this young man what you saw and heard!”Naturally, Emily wanted to test Golden Palace’s authority and status in Flutwell.The guests exchanged glances before shaking their heads.“Nothing! We don’t know anything!”Emily's face darkened in an instant.“How could you not?! You saw this man here hurting everyone, didn’t you?!”“He even conspired with the enemy to poison Amber and the other young talents right in front of our faces!”“We need to take revenge for them!”The guests nodded in unison upon hearing those words.They weren’t idiots; more importantly, they had an extremely good relati
“Another thing: I’ll give you one day to bring me the antidote of the Life Elixir.”“If I still don’t see the antidote by then, I’ll make sure that you burn!”“Of course, you don’t have to believe me. You can try resisting, if you like.”“But if you do, you won’t get anything good out of it…”“Even if you’re from Golden Palace.”Harvey shot them a cold glare before walking out slowly of the door with his arms crossed.Koen gritted his teeth when he saw Harvey acting so arrogantly.“You think you’re impressive, Harvey?!”“You’re making us kneel on Flutwell’s Peak and bring the antidote?!”“You threaten Golden Palace too?!”“Who do you think you are?!”“Do you even have the right to do that?!”“Let me warn you! You’re dead when I report this to my brother Adrian!”“You’ll be the one ripped to shreds—not us!” Emily yelled, her face fierce.“You think Golden Palace is just bluffing?!”“It’s already too late for you to kneel!”“But we don’t have to deal with you right now…”
“First things first,” Harvey said calmly.“I’m the one who reported the incident. Amber and the others were poisoned.”Ansel chuckled bitterly.“Judging from what you told me, the tea they drank must’ve been digested for quite a while already.”“We’ll get Mr. Rudolph and his team to extract their gastric juices for testing.”“But even if we have proof, this is just physical evidence; we’re lacking any testimonies.”“We’ve already sent our men to talk to Koen and Emily.”“However, every single one of them was chased out of Golden Palace!”“At the same time, they’re accusing you of hurting people!”“Because of this, the incident was reported to the highest order; a few elders of the royal court sent word, saying that the country’s reputation is involved and that they want this incident solved as soon as possible.”“If Koen and Emily did poison Amber and the others and conspire with the enemy, they’ll be heavily punished!”“Golden Palace would be dealt with accordingly for cove
