Harvey York calmly hung up the phone before putting three fingers up in front of Daphne Lee, telling her he only needed three minutes.“Three minutes?Daphne scoffed after seeing Harvey’s movements.“Do you think you can show off just because you have someone putting up a show with you?!“It’s useless!“We’ve seen country bumpkins like you before! We won’t be tricked by such lame party tricks!”“If you’re that confident, we should just wait it out,” replied Harvey calmly.“Fine! I’ll wait!“If you can’t get out of the situation by then, I’ll deal with you myself!”Daphne crossed her hands while looking at Harvey with her nose.Harvey casually played with his phone when he saw news of Country H’s Martial Arts Alliance being the new great director of the World Martial Arts Alliance.Three minutes had passed, but nothing had changed.Daphne showed a disdainful look when she looked at her Cartier watch, that no one knew where she got it from.“Time’s up, country bumpkin. You’r
CEO Lee’s face darkened in an instant the moment he heard Harvey’s words.When Harvey was done, he quickly replied with a respectful bow, “Don’t worry, Sir York.”“I’ll give you a fair statement about this.”“From today onward, I’ll make sure that any person from Country H will never be treated unfairly!”Before Harvey could say anything, CEO Lee immediately started swinging his palm around.His movements were ruthless yet accurate, slapping Daphne and the others around till their faces were completely swollen.Bam!CEO Lee then kicked Daphne to the ground, stomping on her exquisite face right after.Daphne’s nose snapped in half; blood smeared her now hideous face. It was a miserable right.CEO Lee turned around and looked at Harvey respectfully.“Sir York! Is this enough for you?”“No.”Harvey smiled, as calm as always. “How are you going to deal with the thief using Blackburn City’s law?”“I understand.”CEO Lee nodded and waved his hand; many tall strong security gu
Security guards with loaded firearms were patrolling every single entrance.After Ellen made a few phone calls, the guards raised the lever for the car to head inside.The car arrived at the entrance of the main building. Katy had been waiting there for a while.Katy walked forward with a smile on her face after the car was parked.“Thank you for coming all this way, Sir York.”“I’m sorry I had to call you here like this.”Katy already knew about the four great Martial Arts Alliances pressuring Country H, along with all of Harvey’s efforts. She was filled with gratitude when Harvey came all the way here as soon as he could.Harvey smiled.“It’s no big deal, Head Cobb. We’re friends. No need to be this courteous.”“Enough with the formalities.”“Didn’t Elder Cobb’s condition get worse? Let me go take a look.”Katy frowned when Harvey mentioned the situation.“To be honest with you, I invited a lot of famous families here for my grandfather.”“Martial artists, well-known doc
“Miss Cobb!”The man in a white t-shirt went forward to greet Katy, and nodded at Ellen.There was a slight fluctuation in his eyes when he shifted his gaze toward Harvey.“Thank you, Young Master Padlow. Thank you, everyone.”Katy nodded at the crowd before turning to the man in the white t-shirt.“This is the protege of the South Sea Martial Arts Alliance, Gael Padlow.”“He’s pretty powerful and has a strong background as well.”Harvey nodded, not saying much. He looked back at Ellen; her face was bright red and she seemed quite anxious.After looking at Ellen, then at Katy and Gael, Harvey smiled faintly.He had figured something out.But before he could dwell on the thoughts, Katy took a deep breath and said, “Thank you all for putting all your strength into my grandfather’s condition for the past few days.”“That said, he still hasn’t gotten any better. Rather, he’s in worse shape than before.”“I’m not blaming anyone for this, but I think the attempts should stop here
“He’s just a young man! He doesn’t look like a doctor either, so he must be a martial artist.”“Even if he trained since he was in his mother’s womb, there’s no way he’s even better than the rest of us here.”“I suspect he’s a con artist! Who’s going to take responsibility if anything bad happens after this? Him? Or everyone else?”The crowd naturally had their own opinions about Harvey.After all, they all wanted Katy to look at them in a different light. However, they all failed miserably.Rather, an ordinary-looking young man managed to get Katy’s respect. This was completely unforgivable for Gael.Ellen was muttering to herself when she looked at Harvey; she didn’t blatantly insult Harvey, but she was clearly on Gael’s side.Harvey smiled calmly, stopping Katy from saying anything.He looked at Gael and said, “I’m not from any sacred martial arts training grounds, nor do I have any impressive background.”“I’m just an ordinary person.”“What gave you the courage to come h
“I’m no doctor. I don’t come from the sacred martial arts training grounds, either,” Harvey began calmly.“But I do know a bit of the art of killing. I can save people using that. Is there a problem?”“Of course there is!”Gael scoffed coldly.“I’m a martial artist as well! Of course I know about that!”“The problem is, you have to learn everything there is about it!”“Simply put, you need to be a genius with lots of experience to save someone using that art.”“If you think you’re actually capable, then show me what you’ve got!”“If you can’t, then you should stop lying to Miss Cobb. You’re just hindering us from finding a way to treat Elder Cobb!”“We’ll find a way to make Elder Cobb better using both medicine and martial arts soon enough!”Gael shot Harvey a challenging look before pointing at the treatment plans that everyone had put together on the table.“Why don’t we show an idiot like you the South Sea’s flawless treatment plan instead?”Naturally, to show that he wa
“Let me tell you one more thing.”Harvey studied Gael calmly.“Someone must’ve come up with the same plan.”“However, the Cobb family would never allow this to happen.”“That’s right. Someone did come up with this before. My grandfather is a God of War and the best fighter in all of the South Sea. Only idiots would think to cripple his training!” Katy exclaimed coldly.“If so, what’s the point of inviting you people here?”Gael had a horrible look on his face.He was perfectly confident he’d be able to save Dean and win Katy’s heart at the same time, but his plan was no different than a sick joke to her.“Medicine and martial arts have the same origin. You all should understand this fact.”“If you want to succeed in these fields, only modesty can get you far.”Harvey didn’t want to let Gael go. He started going against the people who were planning to run their mouths in front of him.“None of you are modest enough for this. Rather, you’re all cocky people who only know how
After completely disrespecting the people there, Harvey gestured to Katy to lead him into Dean’s room.Gael and a few other so-called expert martial artists were boiling with anger, but they were curious to see if Harvey could actually save Dean.That was why they followed along too.Harvey ignored them completely.Katy knew it was the best time for Harvey to show his strength. So, she didn’t chase the crowd away.After arriving at a room about two thousand square feet wide, Harvey saw Dean lying on a yellow flower pear wood mattress.There was a lot of equipment strapped to his body, indicating his vital signs.Since he was a God of War, he wasn’t able to be injected with any medicine because of his thick skin.Dean had only survived this long because Katy had been painstakingly feeding him water every single day.Harvey felt extremely guilty after seeing Dean turn out this way for his sake.Katy took a step forward and grabbed Harvey’s right hand.“Sir York, you shouldn’t
"Have you forgotten your promises to my older brother? Are you going to turn back on your promises?" Coco reminded Zoltan since he had already chosen a side, there were things that he had to do no matter what he thought about it.However, Zoltan had completely ignored Coco. His expression changed a few times before he finally bowed and said, "My apologies, Mr. Harvey. I didn't recognize you for who you are."The moment Coco opened her mouth, Zoltan was 100 percent sure Harvey was indeed who he claimed he was. The Representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance, the Chairman of Country H Commercial Group, the Scion of Dragon Gate, Prince of South Light… But most importantly, he had utterly defeated Mark of Origin Fist and even the Second Branch owed him a great debt.All of this was enough for him to show respect toward Harvey.Most importantly, he was part of the Second Branch. He could choose to stand with Dan, but he could never go against the family's will. Otherwise, there wa
Crack!Zoltan heard a loud crack before he could even pull the Repeating Crossbow's trigger. Harvey had already snapped the Repeating Crossbow in half using just one hand after touching it.Harvey did not care about the disbelief on Zoltan's face. He raised his leg and immediately kicked him in his stomach. The attack was very powerful. While Zoltan was also a martial arts elite, he stumbled backward despite trying his best to keep himself under control.Coco, Tina, and the others all looked at this moment in surprise. While everything Harvey did so far had been arrogant, it was still quite challenging for them to believe he was still being so haughty before the person in charge of the Peacekeeping Agency.Typically, no one would have done something like this, even if they wanted to die. Harvey would pay an unimaginable price for all his arrogant actions thus far.Zoltan, who had just taken office, would not stop until Harvey was dead to protect his power and status. And just as e
Coco felt like she finally had someone to cling to when she saw Zoltan walking in with a stern expression, accompanied by his men with metallic weapons and Martial Arts Weapons on them.The fear on her face had disappeared entirely, leaving behind coldness and pride.She glanced at Harvey and said, "Zoltan, you're just in time. Belladonna Cult's Princess Vaida is sick again. Please send her to the mental health institute. Her sugar baby most likely took some sort of drugs… He even managed to injure Hereward and the others."Don't worry about this. Tell all your people to attack simultaneously and punish him according to our city's law. Remember, our city is a city of fairness. Punish them according to our laws. You can't show him leniency just because of Vaida!"Coco stood in the middle of the chamber with her hands folded in front of her chest. She stood there giving out commands, coming off as overbearing and egotistical. It was as if everything within Grand City was hers to comm
"You…" Vaida slightly frowned at Coco.Harvey smiled instead. "Vaida, now that things have reached this juncture, we can't end this right here. That way, we'll simply allow them to make their moves. Maybe they'll even think we've chosen to withdraw. That's why my principle has always been to stay put or make a bombastic move. If we don't completely crush their pride this time, they might even think they have some skills."Harvey had already decided that things had gone out of hand, and then he would have to make this end right here and now. This was called fixing the situation in one go and not wasting time."You're still going to act tough at this critical point, pretty boy?" Coco laughed angrily when she saw that Harvey still did not take her seriously. "I'm telling you this right now. I will get my revenge no matter the cost, even if my older brother will punish me because of what will happen. I will make you understand that you can't simply humiliate the Parkers and Parkerville!
After Coco gave out her order, all the elites beside her took out their Rainstorm Needles and immediately pounced at Harvey's location. While these weapons were quite rare outside, they were common in Grand City.Harvey frowned slightly. He was not worried about his own safety, but he did not want Alexei and Vaida to be caught in the crossfire. He immediately glanced at Alexei and said, "Take care of Vaida, and don't come close."And then, Harvey charged into the crowd immediately.He first grabbed an elite by the neck, picked him up like a sandbag, and then brutally hurled him away.Bang!After that loud noise, around seven elites had to retreat as they started coughing blood. As for the Rainstorm Needles in their hands, Harvey had all crushed them under his foot before they could even use it. In less than ten seconds, the so-called elites had all fallen to the ground.In short, the bodyguards that circled Coco meant nothing to Harvey. After finishing with them, Harvey glared at
"Hereward Parker! Get your arse here and kill him! Kill him quickly!" Coco was overwhelmed with fury at this moment. The air of superiority around her was gone, her expression replaced by feral rage. Then, she pointed at Harvey as she gritted her teeth, her voice sounding demonlike.Whoosh!The moment she finished saying that, a figure jumped in from outside the window of the Supreme Chamber. He was so quick that he appeared right before Harvey in the blink of an eye. He did not waste any time and simply raised his hand, punching his fist toward Harvey's face.Unceasing Gate Style, Unshackled Fist.While the attack looked like it had no power behind it, there was an indescribable sharpness behind that attack.When Alexei saw what happened, his expression changed. "Hereward? That martial arts fanatic? Be careful, big bro! You shouldn't underestimate his power!"Tina smirked when she heard what Alexei said. "Since you know who Hereward is, then you should know how powerful he is. H
Harvey didn't let Coco get off scot-free. Instead, he walked up to her with a blank expression and slapped her directly across the face.Slap!Coco let out a painful cry; she immediately flew backward, slamming into a wall opposite the door with a loud bang.Harvey then took out a wet paper towel to wipe his fingers and said calmly, "Why don't you guess if I'm bold enough to kill you?"Coco held her face as she stumbled to her feet, staring at Harvey with wide eyes. The pain on her face aside, she was filled with disbelief and indescribable fury. She couldn't believe there was someone in Grand City not afraid to move against her and even dared to assault her directly.There was no difference between this and having a death wish!She was the princess of Parkerville! In her own family and among the Seven Families of Grand City, she was already standing at the top of the hierarchy. How could Harvey stand up to her? What leverage did he have against her?"What?!"Tina and the othe
"I'm warning you! You better grovel at her feet right now and slap yourself a hundred times so that this is over! Otherwise, you're going to die a horrible death!" Tina yelled as she bared her teeth at Harvey, as if wanting to shred him into pieces.It was clear that to Tina, since she couldn't do anything to Vaida, she could at least take it out on Harvey, right? She was very familiar with the heirs of the powerful families within Grand City. Harvey was very unfamiliar to her and didn't look like someone important at all.Even Coco was sizing Harvey up from head to toe. "You should know your place," she said coldly. "There's a hierarchy in this world, and there are rules you shouldn't touch. There are also people you shouldn't offend so easily. In other words, when you want to step in for someone else, you should also see just how much strength you have. Otherwise, you might lose your head before you can even do anything."Both sides had completely turned against each other tod
Despite his fear, Alexei finally stood up and yelled at Coco and her entourage. "Senior Vaida is fine! You can't do whatever you want! Do you really think you can act as you please with the Belladonna Cult?!"Harvey shot him a surprised glance. He wasn't expecting Alexei to be courageous enough to speak out like that. Vaida remained silent; she only looked at Coco coldly, as if wanting to see what Coco was going to do next."Who do you think you are, Alexei? Since when do you have any power to decide whether Vaida is sick? Only the doctors are qualified to do that," Coco sneered. "And only the doctors who work for the Parker family, at that. Now, take Vaida to the mental health institution. Stop wasting our time!" Coco presented herself assertively, as if she was going to use this excuse to admit Vaida into the institution.What of the consequences?With Parkerville's influence in Grand City currently, they didn't have to care about the consequences. Before Coco's men could
