Dozens of men in suits rushed in and surrounded the entire box.A man wielding a golf club was leading the charge; he had a wretched look on his face, and murderous intent seeped out of his body.Julian’s face turned frosty. “We’re still drinking here, dammit!” “What the hell are you trying to do here?”“What do you think?!”The man in front waved his hand, his face filled with disdain.“We’re here to kill you off, of course!”The men pounced forward, flailing their golf clubs in the air; the entire place was in utter chaos.Julian’s body had grown a little weak after drinking a bit too much, so he couldn’t react to the entire situation in time.Irene, on the other hand, kicked the coffee table in front of her with her slender legs, knocking a few men to the ground.Instantly, she knew that their plan had failed.“We’re leaving!”Bam!The man in front charged forward and kicked her to the ground.He was naturally an expert martial artist.Irene was a skillful fighter,
Bam bam bam!After hearing their orders, all the men started smashing beer bottles at Julian York.Julian barely managed to block a few attacks but was still struck down after that.Bam!Then, the leading man slammed his golf club right on Julian’s back.A mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth before he kept twitching on the ground.“Stop! Stop right now!Irene Johnson was in a complete mess.“You’ll regret this!”Slap!The leading man slapped Irene in the face.“Regret?!“Sure I will!“Let me tell you something! You people from Country H have no right in front of us!“You think you can just show off here just because you have a little bit of money?!“You want Young Master Padlow to have a toast with you?!“You just want to grab him when he gets here, right?! He told us to take out every single person from Country H just before!“Go! Beat the sh*t out of them!”Dozens of men behind him wretchedly chuckled before they became more relentless and hasty with their at
“Why should I?!“I’m not even interested in you!”Rooster disdainfully crouched down and patted Julian York’s face before taking off his belt.“Your woman’s quite the looker. She has the body and an innocent look on her face. I like that a lot!“Since she’s so important to you, I’ll just go on her right in front of you so you can watch along…Rooster walked forward with a wretched smile before gesturing to the men so they would lift Irene Johnson’s butt.“Move!“Every single one of you!”Irene kept struggling.“You people are completely lawless! You won’t get away with this!”Rooster tore Irene’s black Balenciaga stockings apart with a heinous smile.“I’ll die happy if it’s right under this piece of meat!”Bam!Right when the men were about to take off their belts, the door was kicked open once again.A figure charged right in.Bam bam bam!A few men in front of the door were instantly sent flying. They could not even react to the situation at that moment.Harvey York
Rooster’s eyes kept twitching when he saw the sight. He wanted to step forward, but he realized that his body had constantly been trembling.Rooster barely managed to squeeze out his last bit of courage when he glared at Harvey York.“Who are you, kid?” he asked with a cold glare.He had been training in the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance for many years. He also had fought many experts in his lifetime.He had gone up against a lot of thugs in the Golden Triangle before as well, but it was his first time seeing someone as headstrong as Harvey.Bam!Harvey swung his feet forward without wasting a single second.Rooster instinctively blocked with his hands but was instantly snapped in half.He was sent flying into a marble pillar before sliding down slowly.Blood flowed from every single orifice. He was in extreme pain. He wanted to say something but could not utter a single word in the end.‘He’s insane!’Harvey’s strength was just terrifying. The crowd would not even da
Gael Padlow’s face darkened immediately.“Take down one more if you dare!”Slap!“Here you go. What are you going to do about it?”Gael was instantly driven mad. He was filled with unbridled rage after seeing Harvey York slap his subordinate around.This was not a challenge. This was pure provocation.A few beautiful women could not see Harvey’s face clearly, but they already decided he was just some country bumpkin judging from his clothes.‘How dare someone like him even challenge the likes of Young Master Padlow?’‘He must have a death wish or something!’‘This is the Lost City Bar, the biggest night attraction in Blackburn City!’‘Gael has the support from both the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance and the South Sea Martial Arts Alliance!’‘How dare a country bumpkin even try going against someone like that?!’‘What a joke!’‘Even movies aren’t written this way!’‘Even novels shouldn’t be written like this!’Harvey slammed Rooster’s head to the ground before kicki
Rhett Padlow casually nodded after hearing his son’s words.He took a step forward before glaring at Harvey York disdainfully.He took the cigar Gael Padlow had brought before lighting it up. After blowing out a puff of smoke, he squinted at Harvey and asked, “So, you’re the one who hurt my kid?“Since you’re quite the character yourself…“Kneel, apologize, and call me ‘Daddy’!“Then, break both of your arms.“Right, leave that woman here for me and my son to play with!“Only then I’ll let you off the hook for hurting my son!“If not, I’ll drown you in the goddamn ocean tonight!”Rhett was being a lot more arrogant compared to his son.Harvey lightly chuckled after seeing the conceited expression on Rhett’s face.“Vice Leader Padlow, right? You’re the vice leader of the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance. You’re a man with immense status…“Don’t you have principles? Are you not going to be reasonable about this? Doesn’t the law matter to you?“Why don’t you ask why I cri
Rhett Padlow showed a cold look before he opened his eyes.“I wanted to deal with this as an ordinary father, kid!“I can’t be bothered to fight someone like you anyway…“But since you’re still this unapologetic…“Then don’t blame me for what happens next! You’ll know the consequences of going against the Padlow family soon enough!”Rhett slowly took off his jacket and handed it to a woman beside him before cracking his neck. He did seem like quite the experienced fighter at this moment.Screams and cheers of excitement could be heard all over the place. Nobody here had seen Rhett throw any punches before. They were all exhilarated when they finally got the chance to witness his greatness.After waving at everyone, gesturing for them to calm down, Rhett lunged forward before appearing right in front of Harvey York and throwing a kick.The power and speed of the kick were overwhelming. It was clear just how strong Rhett actually was.Boom!Rhett did not hold back at all. He us
Harvey York’s movements were swift, making Gael Padlow and the others change their expressions while instinctively taking a few steps back.Gael was utterly shocked. He could feel a terrifying aura from Harvey’s slap.“Hyah!”Rhett had no time even to dodge the attack.He could only scream and cross his arms in front of him to brace himself.That said, it was all useless in front of Harvey.As soon as Rhett put his guard up, Harvey’s slap immediately landed on his face at lightning speed.Slap!Rhett felt a sharp pain on his face before he blacked out.He slammed right into the people behind him like a dead dog.A dozen people were knocked to the ground. It was a horrible sight.Gael was knocked off as well. His arms covered in plasters were hurting badly. If nobody were there to lift him, he would not be able to get up on his own.Rhett slammed right into the marble wall, instantly forming cracks similar to a spider web.His body then slowly slid down as he showed a horri
Daichi smiled faintly and said, "I know very well that in the eyes of people like you, Islanders like us are detestable. Speaking with us, working with us, and even eating a meal with us is quite disgusting, right?"However, we must all learn to be patient. It has already happened for quite some time. Is there a point in rushing through these few minutes? It's better for us to share a good meal and have a chat afterward."Daichi slowly partook in the meal, putting a piece of fish into his mouth and chewing slowly. At the same time, he narrowed his eyes as he looked at Harvey, his eyes filled with subtle amusement.Daichi found the meal before him quite enjoyable. He also found himself quite satisfied looking at Harvey showing a hint of irritation."Looks like you really think that you have me under control," Harvey said coldly. "But I can tell you that by just sitting here, my patience is already at its limit. I have a habit, too. Rather than being threatened by someone, I prefer t
Harvey looked at Daichi coldly. "I don't think there's anything between you and me that we need to talk about."However, Daichi said passionately, "But I believe we do. This is not a place for us to speak of such things, though. I have prepared a table for us at the best restaurant serving Island Nation cuisine in Grand City. I invite you to dine with us. How does that sound?"Not only can we talk about what's happening at the Island Nation, Sky Plane's scenery, the Seven Families of Grand City…as well as what's currently going on with Ms. Mandy of the Jeans of Mordu!"Clack!Harvey immediately grabbed Daichi by the throat. "I dare you to say it one more time. Are you threatening me?"Daichi smiled faintly. "Threaten? You must be joking! Someone like me doesn't threaten anyone. However, Sky Plane does have a deal with the Jeans of Mordu. They will be sending out a representative, who turns out to be Ms. Mandy."However, Ms. Mandy doesn't know much about the situation in Sky Plane
Hearing the conversation between Harvey and Clarion, Hale wasn't sure what to say. He let out a long sigh and said, "Thank you, Mr. Harvey, Mr. Clarion. I won't waste my breath, then. Since you're willing to protect a cripple like me, I'll be in your care from now on."He took out a paper and pen from the bedside table and quickly drew a picture, then put it in front of him. "Mr. Harvey, this is the real location of the Chapter of Ascension. I know you're sincere in helping me. I can't repay you, so I can only offer you this. Please don't refuse it. This thing will only get me killed if I have it with me."However, if it's with you, you should be able to put it to good use. Consider it my goodwill. I… I hope you can accept this and give me a chance to repay your kindness."Hale then made a gesture and swore, "I swear, this is the real location where the Chapter of Ascension is hidden. This is not a death trap. Please trust me. Other than the Chapter of Ascension, there's also some
It was obvious that Hale's anger and sorrow had pushed him to the limit. He was already blaming Sky Plane for everything. Sky Plane had just earned him as a mortal enemy."My condolences, Hale." Harvey extended his hand and tapped Hale's shoulder. "The dead can't be brought back, so the most important thing now is to recover. Sky Plane is a difficult enemy."Clarion nodded as well. "Now that Susan is dead, Sky Plane will not let this slide. However, we'll need to get you a new identity after you recover. Only when you're safe and when you can live for yourself will you have the chance to have your revenge."I've just received news that everyone in Grand City knows who you are. All the other Sacred Lands will find out very quickly. In a short while, there will be countless people looking for you, for us. That's why you need to get ready. We're running out of time."When Clarion said that, the frigid light in his eyes glinted. He didn't need to send anyone to find out what was go
"No matter what happened, she treated me well all these years. Even if I were to kill her, I want her to die with some dignity. As for the trouble from Sky Plan and her… I'll give you an explanation you'll be happy with. Please permit me," Hale said, not caring for the wounds on his body even when he was kneeling on the floor.Clarion looked stern. If he were to bring in a spy like Susan, it would help him immensely in his career. If they got her into the interrogation room and asked her proper questions, they could get valuable answers from her. That was the only value she had left.However, Clarion also knew why Hale framed it that way. She was still his wife, even when she had already betrayed him. Rather than letting someone like Clarion take her away right now and live a torturous life that she wouldn't be able to tell day by night, he'd prefer to kill her right now. That way, Susan would be able to die peacefully.But how should he choose? Clarion was having a headache rig
Hale's expression was one of shock.Susan was the same.Hale didn't expect Sky Plane's plan to be so vicious. They wanted the Chapter of Ascension and to use the chance to plunge Grand City into chaos.Susan was shocked about how accurate Harvey's guesswork was. If it wasn't because she knew that someone like him would never have a connection with Sky Plane, she would even think that he might have a hand in setting up the trap that looked like it was simply a string of coincidences.Otherwise, how would he have known everything in such detail?Clarion looked at Harvey with more admiration. While he looked like just an ordinary man, whether his power or perception was far beyond them.Hale slowly closed his eyes, forcing himself to calm down for a long time.Then, he turned and looked at Susan and muttered, "Now that we have reached this juncture, I don't think that there should be any more secrets between you and I. Just one question. Did everything happen exactly as Mr. Harvey
"Or maybe, in your subconscious, you do realize that something isn't right. Maybe you simply feel that it's better for her not to know about some things. That way, things will be safer for her," Harvey said with a shrug. "However, the truth is that she didn't get anything from you at all until yesterday, isn't it?"Hale nodded. "You're right. I did have some doubts about her in my mind, that's why I did tell her everything except the Chapter of Ascension."Hale seemed to reminisce about something else before giving a painful smile. "And then, as time passed by, I no longer suspected her. But I'm worried that it'll get her killed, so I chose not to say anything. I believed that as long as I said nothing, we'll be able to live a peaceful life! No one expects that in the end…"Hale signed, looking hopeless when he said that.However, Susan simply smiled icily. "Stop your crocodile tears, Hale. You never trusted me, so stop saying that you love me!"Hale smiled bitterly. He didn't w
Clarion was stunned when he saw Mrs. Hoffman was still trying to argue her way out."Even the way you argue is the same as the Origin Ninjas. Seriously?" Harvey smirked. "Right, I heard that the Origin Ninjas would leave the mark of a petal on the most private spot so that it was easier for them to identify each other. You must have seen it, right, Mr. Hoffman? Of course, I believe she'd definitely say it was just a tattoo that she had while she was in her youth."Unfortunately, I believe that Grand City has plenty of records. It should be quite easy for us to find the evidence we need. That's why, Mrs. Hoffman… Is there really a need to deny it anymore now that we've reached this point?"Mrs. Hoffman shuddered a little. She didn't expect that Harvey would be able to easily see through all her disguise. Most importantly, he even knew about the most damning evidence on her. In a situation like this, continuing with the argument really was pointless."You… You…!"At the same tim
Harvey said calmly, "You smell like one of them."Whoosh!Before Harvey could finish, Mrs. Hoffman immediately pounced at him. In midair, she waved her hand and threw a string of knives.All her blades were blue in color. They looked very pretty, but if they scratched one's skin, one could easily lose their lives if they weren't sent to the hospital immediately.Clarion was shocked when he saw what was unfolding. It was obvious he didn't expect Harvey's words to help them identify Mrs. Hoffman's real identity and forced her to attack.Still, that was quite normal. Thinking back about it, Mrs. Hoffman's calmness during this whole ordeal showed that she was not a normal woman.The power she suddenly showed was within their expectation, and they could understand it too.However, this exact revelation was making things more painful for Hale. It hurt him even more than finding out that his beloved wife sold him out. Clank! Clank! Clank!Harvey pulled up a small fruit knife and thr
