Harvey quietly left Flutwell’s Peak soon after.For him, Rhea and the others to come out at such a crucial time wasn’t something so bad.At the very least, he finally found some time to save Amber and the young talents.The Life Elixir was a strange medicine, but it couldn’t be considered poison.The best way to save the three was for them to wake up naturally.According to Harvey’s deductions, even if the woman soaked her fingers in the Life Elixir for an entire day, the effects would be minimal.But since there was time now, Harvey would naturally try to wake up Amber and the others on his own.And so, he got Rudolph and his team to empty the three talent’s stomachs before providing them with IVs.He then poked at various parts of their bodies to stimulate their vitality.A whole day passed.Harvey left the young talents, completely exhausted. Just then, Rachel, who was still in Flutwell’s Peak, called him.The call didn’t matter; Harvey already knew what was going to happ
In just an hour, Harvey’s reputation plummeted and he became no different than a street rat.Many people gathered around Martial Hall, throwing rotten vegetables and eggs all over the place.If it wasn’t for Ansel summoning the police, the entire place would’ve been trashed.Even so, Harvey was still insulted relentlessly.People were either threatening to rip him to shreds, or demanding him to leave Country H immediately.Safe to say, Harvey was blamed for every single loss since the last four days.The provincial champions who had been beaten up and were insulted before, were now dubbed as the real heroes by the people.They believed the champions knew they were completely powerless against Zoe and the others…That the champions knew Harvey poisoned the young talents…Yet, the champions still fought with all their might against such odds!This was the unyielding courage everyone wanted to see!Layne, Kayden, and Harvey’s people were infuriated; they turned on their laptops
Regan narrowed her eyes without saying a word. Suddenly, she kicked the door of the Martial Hall open.Two beautiful female disciples stood beside her. They immediately spotted Harvey.“That’s him, Senior Green! That’s Harvey York!”“He’s the one who poisoned our junior and the other two young talents!”“Our reputation is completely ruined because of him!”“If we keep losing, Longmen will become the traitor of the entire nation!”“This b*stard is the one who caused all this!”The disciples kept insulting Harvey while gritting their teeth; they wanted to rip Harvey to shreds so badly.The crowd outside was showing glee upon seeing what was happening. ‘How dare this b*stard conspire with the enemy for his own gains?! He deserves to be dealt with by the Longmen Warband!’The inspectors in charge of maintaining the order were watching with bright eyes; they didn’t bother stopping the entire commotion.Harvey could be seen sipping his tea in the middle of the large hall.He put
Harvey looked curiously at the disciples infuriated for their junior, not giving a straight answer.It was a good thing for them to stand up for Philip. At least they were full of spirit…However, it was enough to show how stupid they were for being so easily used.Regan’s expression worsened after seeing Harvey’s mocking look.“If you don’t want to die here, then you better explain everything properly!” she exclaimed after taking another step forward.“If not, you won’t get a chance to get out of here alive!”“Let me tell you something! Only the Longmen Warband would be this reasonable right now!”“The Dark Hall and the Five Outer Halls will just take you out without a single word!”“We’re giving you a chance to explain yourself! Do you understand me?”“That said, it doesn’t mean that you’re allowed to show off!”“Stop pretending to be deaf and mute already! Fess up!”“Kneel and explain yourself!”“If you still won’t do it, then don’t blame us for what happens next!”Rega
Layne ignored the disciple and walked calmly toward Harvey.“Do you not understand me?!”The disciple was furious.Longmen Warband had a reputation to uphold!Yet, this many people were disrespecting them.“Senior Green! This woman is a disciple of the Golden Palace’s outer circle, Layne Naiswell. She’s that b*stard’s bodyguard!”“Layne Naiswell?”Regan chuckled coldly.“The legendary disciple of Golden Palace’s outer circle?”“Impressive! I’ll make sure to cripple you for being on Harvey’s side!”“Sir York.”Layne poured Harvey a cup of tea, still ignoring Regan and the others completely.“We’ve investigated the situation. These young’uns came here of their own volition.”“The master of the Longmen Warband might not know about this.”“At the end of the day, they’re only standing up for their junior. They’re a bit reckless, but it’s not their fault.”“We should just let them go.”Layne tried persuading Harvey. She admired Regan and the others coming here for Philip’s sa
Regan gritted her teeth.She didn’t want to believe that Harvey actually had the Longmen Law Enforcement Badge.“You actually think this is fake?”Harvey smiled calmly as he flicked his teacup to the badge.The badge then slid right toward Regan with a dazzling glare.“I suggest you take a close look, young lady.”“Don’t misunderstand me.”Regan shot him a stern look and then glanced over. Her mind exploded the instant she saw a few hidden marks to authenticate the badge. She immediately knelt, slamming her knees to the ground.She couldn’t remain calm any longer. The badge was undoubtedly real!Even a dominant woman like Regan couldn’t help but shiver.She didn’t know who Harvey actually was, but the badge was enough to prove his powerful status; Harvey was not someone Regan could afford to go against.If she didn’t kneel, she wouldn’t be the only one in trouble—the entire Longmen Warband would be dragged down as well.“I’m sorry, Sir York. This is all just a misunderstand
Damian nodded repeatedly.“I misunderstood you, Sir York.”“We know how you treated Regan and the others.”“I was being narrow-minded!”“How could a man like you conspire with the enemy for such small benefits?”“On behalf of the Eight Inner and Outer Halls, I apologize to you. I hope that you’ll do your best tomorrow!”Harvey smiled.“You’re too kind.”“I have responsibility for the young talents as well. I didn’t take care of them as promised.”“It’s only natural for all of you to doubt me and stop me from joining the fight.”“After all, we all have to look at the bigger picture. It’s not just about personal gain.”“But since we’re in a peculiar situation right now, I’ll take the initiative once more.”“I hope you all will trust me this time.”“At the end of the day, we’re all people of Country H. There’s no need for us to fight among ourselves. Our enemies will laugh at us if they know about this!”“As long as nobody’s dragging me down, it’ll be easy for me to crush th
Rhea flashed them a deep look. “At this point, it doesn’t really matter if we win the fight or not.”“But if we’re branded traitors of the country after letting Harvey in the ring, we’ll be finished!”“You people should know better than me about what’ll happen after that!”Fisher and Damian’s faces darkened in an instant.Bryce, who had remained quiet the entire time, finally spoke up.“That’s right. It looks like we’re about to lose, but we still have hope!”“That said, Harvey asked to join the fight even when he’s such a huge suspect.”“To put it simply, I just don’t trust him!”“I’d rather the remaining two champions lose…”“...than to let him fight.”“I believe he won’t turn the tides; he’ll surely embarrass every single one of us too.”“I’d choose to let Longmen lose than for him to show up.”Harvey narrowed his eyes; he glared at the stubbornly righteous Bryce and Rhea.To protect their own reputation…To prevent outsiders from turning the tides of battle…To sup
In truth, Jesse did understand Harvey somewhat. He knew from the very beginning that with Harvey's character, he would not have killed Wilhelm.The reason he threw Harvey into prison was to protect him, other than it being the Xavier family's order as well. But he did not expect something like this to happen outside.Not only Donald had died, but all the young men and women he brought back also mostly died. All of them died the same way. They could not even resist, all of them slain in one slash. It was as if the person who killed them possessed incredible power and was very familiar with them.Other than Liza, who left the residence at the time, all the people from the other three Martial Arts Alliance who came back from overseas had been killed.The information was from Wolsing's precinct. It was absolutely unbelievable to them that something like this would happen at the country's seat of power. That was why the precinct contacted Wolsing's Dragon Cell, hoping they could work to
"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
