Gael Padlow showed a horrible expression when Katy Cobb completely maltreated the exchange student.He knew that he had no chance against Harvey York that day.“I admit defeat, Harvey, but there’s always plenty of time!“This woman can’t protect you forever!“I do want to see how long you’ll last like this!”He glared at Harvey while chuckling coldly, then slowly walked away.Nellie Padlow and the others scoffed.‘This outsider thinks he’s impressive just because he’s being kept by that woman…’‘There’s always time for him to suffer his fate anyway.’“Hold it!Harvey spoke up after being silent for a long while.“Did I say that any of you can leave?”Harvey’s invisible aura could be felt enveloping the entire place.He knew it would be best if he got Katy to protect him…But he finally managed to figure out her situation while listening in from the side.Judging from his way of doing things, he would not let Katy suffer for his personal gain.Everyone was showing odd lo
Nellie Padlow covered her face while she stood beside Gael Padlow.“You better know what’s best for yourself, Harvey York!“We’re already letting you off the hook for Ms. Cobb’s sake! We’re giving you a way out right now!“How dare you still ask for more?! You won’t like it if we do actually go all out against each other!”Nellie was filled with utter resentment.Not only did Harvey keep disrespecting him, he even managed to get away scot-free while slapping her around nonstop.For a prideful woman like Nellie, this was just unacceptable.After seeing Harvey recklessly challenging Gael, Nellie finally could no longer hold her feelings back.She hated kept men like Harvey the most.She believed he was just using Katy Cobb’s authority to show off!In Nellie’s mind, Harvey was no match compared to someone like Gael!She was sure Harvey would have died a thousand times already if he did not manage to hook up with Katy.“You want me to stop?”Harvey smiled faintly. He thought t
Boom!Gael Padlow was also a member of the Martial Arts Alliance. His teacher came from the South Sea Martial Arts Alliance, and his father was the vice leader of the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance.Not only was his family extremely knowledgeable in martial arts, but he was also quite a gifted man.As soon as he closed in on Harvey York, he instantly threw an immensely terrifying and fierce punch.The shame he endured because of Katy Cobb was all converted into energy that he dished out toward Harvey.According to his judgment, he was sure that every single one of Harvey’s bones would shatter, even if he did not die from the punch.“Die already!”Gael wretchedly chuckled when he pounced forward at lightning speed.The punch alone could kill a bull!To Nellie Padlow and the others, Harvey was scared witless.“You see that, Ms. Cobb?!“This is the man you chose. This is the Cobb family’s live-in son-in-law!“Other than a sharp tongue, what else can this man do?“He’s j
Gael Padlow’s face turned dark in an instant.“I’m Gael Padlow! I belong to the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance!“My teacher is the vice leader of the South Sea Martial Arts Alliance!“You’ll die for doing this to me!“You shall pay!”Gael spoke up when he was lying on the ground, paralyzed.Bam!“Move.Harvey York instantly kicked Gael aside. His body flew right into a wall before he passed out with blood spurting out of his mouth.“I don’t care who you have behind you. I don’t care what kind of power you have, either.Harvey stepped forward before patting Gael’s pale face.“I’m giving you one chance. Suspend the business.“If I find out that you’re here cheating money again, then don’t blame me for what happens next.”***Nellie Padlow and the others were completely ignored.Harvey kicked the disciples aside before getting in Katy Cobb’s car while keeping Ellen Moreno safe.Then, Katy drove over to the hospital under her family’s name. After sending Ellen to the
Katy Cobb showed a hint of disappointment in her eyes before she cracked a smile again.“I didn’t believe it when people said you were a jerk…“Now, I’m pretty sure that you’re exactly that.“You’re already gone as soon as you’re done playing. You’re completely hopeless.”Harvey York’s mouth twitched. He did not know what to say against Katy’s relentless flirting.After all, it’s always the hardest to accept a beauty’s grace.Harvey would not dare go against the love of such a domineering person.Harvey had no other choice but to change the subject.“Judging from the conversation between you and Gael Padlow, your family must be in deep trouble right now.“Other than the South Sea’s royal family, the three great families have the most extraordinary background.”Katy had no intention of hiding anything from Harvey.“Other than that, the high and mighty Martial Arts Alliance, the first and second-rated families, along with some of the small forces here, have been causing chaos
Harvey York showed a profound expression on his face before he lightly chuckled.“Is it really that bad? Are you not even confident enough to keep me here?“Or are you saying you don’t want to share your earnings with me when everything’s all set and done?”“It’s not that it’s bad. I know you don’t like getting yourself in trouble,” replied Katy Cobb while looking at Harvey.“I’m already really grateful for you treating my grandfather’s wounds.“I shouldn’t be asking for more help.“Here are three first-class tickets for the plane tomorrow at eight in the morning.“I’ll invite you here again when everything’s settled. I’ll make sure to treat you kindly when the time comes.”Then, Katy set a letter in front of Harvey and looked deep into Harvey’s eyes before leaving.Harvey put his hand on the letter as he showed a faint smile behind Katy’s back.“Things are getting interesting. I’ll visit Elder Cobb tomorrow morning. If nothing’s going on, I’ll head back after that…”Harvey
“You offended Young Master Padlow just for the sake of a random stranger?”“And then you say he’s the family’s live-in son-in-law?”“How shameless can you get?”“Don’t you care about the family’s reputation?!” Eden screamed in rage.“Don’t you know that we’ve become Blackburn City’s biggest joke, all because of you?!”Eden couldn’t stop himself from rising and slapping Katy in the face.Katy couldn’t react quickly enough, and felt a sharp pain soon after.A bright red palm print could be seen clearly on her elegant, yet swollen face.Valery and several elders didn’t stop Eden at all; they expressed glee when they saw Katy slapped in the face.“I can handle my own problems. I don’t need you to teach me how to do things.”Katy endured the pain and rage in her, and took a deep breath; she knew her actions would definitely give the second and third house a reason to come at her…Still, she didn’t think that Eden and the others would be this quick to take action.“We’re not teac
Katy’s face was completely swollen after she was slapped around a bunch of times.The Cobb family were gossiping up a storm at the sight.“Katy’s such a troublemaker! She’s already hurt us once by hiding herself in Hong Kong and Las Vegas just because she didn’t want to marry someone!”“And then this happens! Does she want the entire family dead?!”“Senior Padlow’s really angry because of this! If he breaks off every single collaboration of the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance with us, we’ll be losing hundreds and millions of dollars at minimum!”“Can Katy even bear the responsibility at this point?”“We all call her the master of the head house, but this is how she repays us!”The crowd kept shaking their heads.A few elders of the houses bore cold expressions; they were naturally disappointed in Katy’s actions.Katy took a deep breath.“I’ll deal with the supply rights, Eden. Now let them go…”“You’re dealing with it?”“With what? With your damn face or body?”Eden h
Sverker smiled at Harvey, as if he had sensed Harvey staring at him. Then, he turned to look at Ghostface once more. "If you want me to do something about this, there won't be any problems. But remember. After this, I will lead all the operations in Grand City. The Origin Ninjas will be my subordinates."Ghostface's expression darkened a little, but he promptly replied, "That's fine. I agree on everyone's behalf.""Good. Remember your promise."After that, Sverker took another step forward. He immediately landed and stood on the hilt of one of the longswords impaled into the ground. His hands were behind him, looking like a peerless grandmaster.He proudly looked at Harvey before chuckling and asked, "You're the representative of the Country H Martial Arts Alliance, Harvey, am I correct? I heard you're the most powerful man in the alliance. But now that I get to see you in person, you look quite ordinary. Even if you're strong, you probably don't have the brain power since you walk
After giving it a few more looks, Harvey ignored the surroundings, and his gaze fell on Ghostface's figure ahead.When Ghostface had reached about a few hundred feet into the forest, he suddenly raised his hand, and a small repeating crossbow appeared in his hand. He did not even turn around and immediately pulled the trigger at where Harvey would be.Whoosh!Harvey's expression was calm. When he saw the bolts flying toward him, he simply stomped his foot on the ground. The rocks fired upward and instantly deflected all the bolts.Ghostface's expression changed once more when his attack was deflected, and he quickly retreated. Ghostface was escaping increasingly faster because it was obvious that he knew he would die a terrible death if he ended up in Harvey's hands.Harvey narrowed his eyes as he followed Ghostface without rushing. That was because Ghostface's actions were too intentional, as if he was worried that Harvey would not follow him at all. That was why, despite Harvey
Ghostface instantly slammed to the ground. He got on his knees and coughed out a mouthful of blood after a long time, and only then did he stand up with a dark expression."Gah!"When he stood up, blood was trickling from the edge of his lips. His chest was heaving visibly, and he was in a terrible state. He was critically wounded by one hit, and that alone could tell just how powerful Harvey was.Meanwhile, Harvey could not be bothered to waste his breath with Ghostface anymore. He instantly jumped out and slammed his fist once again.Whoosh!Suddenly, a few ninjas appeared from their surroundings. It was obvious they saw Ghostface was at a disadvantage. But they were kicked away by Harvey when they had just gotten close. The ninjas from the Island Nations meant nothing when faced with Harvey when he was being serious."Quick! Use the Martial Arts Weapons!" Ghostface's expression darkened once more when he saw Harvey was unstoppable and yelled out to his subordinates. Ghostface
A sharp, piercing pain immediately filled Harvey's entire being as he felt a huge needle had stabbed into his left arm. While there was no actual injury, the pain was excruciating. But the pain was not physical, it was from deep within his soul.When Ghostface saw Harvey's expression, he widened his eyes as he once again spat more fresh blood from the tip of his tongue on the doll, and the doll convulsed even harder. After that, Ghostface could only let out a cold laugh as he once again picked up the needle and this time, pinned it on the doll's chest.A shapeless pain began to spread in Harvey's being, and this time, it was heading straight to his chest.Harvey's expression changed again. Just what kind of a curse was this? How could it have had such an effect? As the needle went deeper, Harvey could start to sense the pain in his chest. He suspected that when the needle completely went into the doll, his heart would burst open.At that moment, even Harvey had to sign in admiratio
As the gigantic fireball flew straight toward Harvey, he could feel that even the humidity in the air had completely evaporated. The scent of scorching heat permeated the air. Harvey retreated again and again. With every step he took, he would kick a few pieces of rocks right at the fireball, trying to make the fireball collapse on itself.Thud! Thud! Thud!The ball of fire that was rolling toward Harvey exploded before it could get close to him in the end due to the surging of the air currents. However, all the surrounding plant life had been scorched into dust by the powerful heatwave, as if someone had detonated an explosion in the scene.Harvey's eyes narrowed when he saw what had happened. This technique had already surpassed what one would normally call martial arts. It was bordering close to fantasy. It was the first time Harvey saw a killing technique like this.And so, Harvey retreated once more and maintained a safe distance between himself and Ghostface before looking cu
Clang!The dagger instantly shattered into pieces and shot out in all directions. Some even sliced century-old trees in half. After shattering the dagger, Harvey's fist did not stop. It continued to crash forward inevitably, surrounded with aura.Ghostface's expression immediately changed, and a ghost mask instantly appeared on his face, his aura once again strengthening.Crack!But before his aura could reach his height, a crack appeared on the ghost mask, which was cut into two. With Harvey suppressing Ghostface's aura, his ace in the hole was completely useless and meaningless."Impossible…" Ghostface muttered as he could feel the cold sweat on his skin and the hairs on his arm standing up. He continuously hurled all kinds of weapons with his hands. Daggers and darts were thrown repeatedly, and his figure kept retreating backward, wanting to stop the attack with everything at his disposal.Clang!The sounds of metal being shattered rang again. His resistance was futile. In th
Whoosh!As one of the most outstanding elites among the Origin Ninjas, Ghostface had always been extremely decisive in his actions. Before he had even finished speaking with Harvey, a dagger had already appeared in his hand. His figure flickered, and the dagger went straight for Harvey.Harvey whipped his right hand out, as if he was already expecting Ghostface would ambush him, and a branch from a tree that he took parried Ghostface's dagger.Clang!As their weapons clashed with each other, a loud clang rang. Harvey's figure wavered a little bit while Ghostface's figure was flung into the air, and he landed where he started.Ghostface was shocked that Harvey could deflect his ambush with just a tree branch. With a cold smile on his face, the aura around him became even more intense. While Harvey was quite powerful, he himself was not that weak either. Those who had reached this stage had an indomitable fighting spirit.Harvey was also quite surprised when he saw Ghostface's batt
This moment caused Djinn's expression to twist in shock as he instinctively took half a step backward. The dread on his face was obvious. Who could expect that the attack he put all his might… An attack that was so terrifying did nothing at all.Before Djinn could regain his footing, the Swarm Queen's figure moved again, and the blade in her hand slashed.Djinn's figure paused as his footsteps froze, and fear spread in his eyes. That was because the Swarm Queen's blue blade had already pierced into his chest.Spurt!Fresh blood spurt out from his wound. However, the blood was not scarlet red, but a brilliant blue…"You…" Djinn's expression twisted when he saw what happened. He was not suffering… He could not even feel the pain. Then, his body slowly began to sway before crumpling on the ground. His life was slowly being drained away.Djinn seemed to remember something.He blew his final breath and said, "You… You're Belladonna Cult's Guardian… The cult's most powerful ace…"-
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,
