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
“With you here, Sir York, those people have no chance!”“That said, they’re extremely cunning so you should be careful.”After reminding Harvey of the danger, Ansel changed the subject.“Right, Princess Wright knows about the situation as well. She’s furious about it too.”“She was angry about the young talents of Country H being in such a sorry state.”“It’s a shame that she has an extraordinary identity; she isn’t allowed to interfere.”“That was why she asked me to tell you something: if you need any help, as long as it’s within her power, she’ll do everything to lend you a hand.”As the Big Boss’s daughter, Sienna’s identity was quite extraordinary.If she was involved in such a controversial war, not only would she cause a huge uproar, but the Indians would probably find another excuse to blame on.But since Sienna asked someone else to send word, this was enough to show her feelings for her country and its people.“Thank the princess for me. Tell her that I can handle t
At six o’clock in the following morning, at the Flutwell Hospital.A harsh wind was blowing in the air.The tallest floor of the inpatient department was filled with the smell of alcohol and blood.Experts of Golden Palace’s outer circle were all lying on the sickbeds, covered in blood.They weren’t dead, but they were completely crippled.Some had a chance to recover after a few weeks, but most of them were fated to be ordinary people for the rest of their lives.Koen, Emily, and Smoke had gone through an entire night of surgery.One of Smoke’s hands was permanently gone.Koen and Emily’s legs couldn’t function any longer.Simply put, the three were crippled for life.“This is bullsh*t! There’s no way!”After waking up, Emily gritted her teeth in anger before she started bawling her eyes out.She was still a beautiful young woman the day before, but she had turned into a cripple in a blink of an eye.Who would be able to take in such a reality?Koen’s face was completely
“What happened, Koen?”Adrian lit up his cigar and blew out a puff of smoke, his expression horrible.“Who hurt you this badly? He even managed to cripple Smoke!”Naturally, he didn’t know anything aside from the fact that Koen and his fiance were crippled.“It’s Harvey York! The guy who owns Martial Hall!”“He had a strong bodyguard with him! Layne was with him too, that traitor!”“The bodyguard was just too powerful! Even Smoke couldn’t take a single hit against her!”Koen explained the entire situation soon.That said, he never said why Harvey showed up; he only emphasized Harvey’s arrogance and the tricks Harvey pulled.“Harvey? He’s the provincial champion of the Longmen Summit, is he not?”“How dare he go against the Golden Palace, on top of disrespecting the Indians?!”“We have a traitor to deal with as well…”“Interesting! Very interesting!”Dane revealed a cold smile, his eyes filled with murderous intent; he’d chase down every single person who laid even a single
Early in the morning the next day, Harvey arrived at Flutwell’s Peak.Bryce, Fisher, Damian, and a lot of other people were already there.There was a woman in the crowd who made Harvey take a few more glances.She seemed like she was twenty-eight at most; she had a slender body and long hair fluttering in the air. Added with her exquisite makeup, nobody would ever forget such an appearance.She radiated a feminine aura that compelled any man to glue their eyes on her.Anyone would desperately try to either conquer such a woman, or kneel in front of her and call her “queen.”That said, Bryce and the others didn’t look at the woman at all; they were showing horrible expressions, as if they were being greatly pressured.“Vice Master, Elder Steele. What’s the matter?” Harvey asked after taking a sip of the coffee that Rachel brought.“Are you worried about the fight?”“It’s fine. With me here, they can’t do anything .”“I was planning to take them out by myself in the first plac
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
