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
“Oh? Are you calling people?“You’re getting backup now?Harvey York calmly smiled.“Then, I’ll give you ten minutes.“I’ll kneel if the person you calls manages to scare me.“If not, you and your baby boy will have to kneel instead!”Gael Padlow and Rhett Padlow’s faces instantly turned dark before they looked at each other with wretched smiles.Obviously, they both knew who was coming.Vroom!In just ten minutes, the door was kicked open once again.A group of people in robes walked inside with cold expressions.A middle-aged man was standing in front.His face was as sharp as a blade, with a scar showing from the corner of his left eye to the right side of his chin.Not only did the scar not hurt his facial features, but his fierce attitude was also emphasizing it. It was apparent that he was an extremely prominent figure.Harvey squinted at the person while Julian York frowned behind him.“Sir York, this is the leader of the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance, Chas
“I’m not scared of whoever’s behind you either. I’ll dig out every single person who’s on your side!“I’ll make them all pay!”Chase Smith was being extremely dominant. He was prepared to crush anybody in his way.Harvey York took a sip of his wine before showing a faint smile.“As expected from Leader Smith. What a majestic and dominant man!“If I heard you correctly, you’re planning to take advantage of everyone here, right?”“Damn straight I am!” exclaimed Chase with a cold look.“You’re not happy about it?“Then, come at me!“I’ll let you have a taste of your own blood!Chase then pointed at Harvey.“Stand up and show me your face!”The beautiful women felt weak when they saw the sight.‘He’s too strong!’‘Leader Smith’s so dominant! That’s what a real man looks like!’Harvey crossed his arms and legs while raising his head with a disdainful look.The crowd scoffed when they saw the sight.‘What the Hell?!’‘Is he still trying to show off?!’‘He has a death wish
“This kid’s just a kept man, Leader Smith! Why are you hitting your face in front of him?” asked Rhett Padlow instinctively.Slap!Before Rhett even finished talking, Chase Smith instantly swung the back of his palm across Rhett’s face.Rhett crashed into the marble wall once again. He could not crawl back up for the longest time.“Why did you hit me, Leader Smith?!”The others were surprised when they saw the sight. They did not understand why he hit himself and Rhett when he was supposed to be there to help the Padlow family.Gael Padlow was shocked.“Did you have too much to drink, Leader Smtih? You’re supposed to go against this b*stard here, not my father…”Slap!Chase also sent Gael flying to his father. The two lay flat on the wall without moving a single muscle.Harvey York squinted with a profound look on his face.“Looks like your reputation isn’t good enough in the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance, Leader Smith.“Not only did your subordinates follow suit whe
Chase Smith showed a respectful look while completely ignoring everyone else.“I didn’t teach them well enough, Sir York! It was my fault!”Harvey York swirled his wine glass around and took a sip.“Do you think I’ll just let you go because you said that?”Harvey was completely looking down on Chase at this moment.“What are you doing, Leader Smith?!”“How can you just lower your head in front of a man from Country H like that?!”“He’s just a country bumpkin!”“Why are you so scared of him?!”“He’s just Katy Cobb’s kept man!”“We were scared of her only because she was still with the Cobb family previously!”“Why should we be scared of a savage like him now that Katy broke off with the family?!”“As for Dean Cobb, he still hasn’t shown himself after the kid treated him!”“This is all just a trick!”“We don’t have to be afraid!”Gael Padlow thought Chase was afraid of Katy and Dean. He believed that this was the only reason why he was this terrified.He thought he should
"Of course, I know you don't want to be a woman like them," the man with the slicked-back hair said as he played with a lighter in his left hand, with a confident expression. "That's why, after giving it some thought, I'm willing to give you another way out. It's the same condition as before. If you're willing to come with me, not only will I give you your dignity and endless wealth, I can make you enjoy the joys of being a woman. See? Even your mother sold you. There's no harm for you to come with me!"The man, who was called Royce Yates, revealed a malicious smile. Although a man like him had toyed with plenty of women, he never really had the chance to be with a beauty who shared a deep connection with him.It did not make him feel disgusted at all. The blood relation they shared made him feel excited. To someone like him, the more taboo something was, the more excited they would be.The bodyguards standing behind Royce revealed a relishing smile when they heard it. The only thin
Ten minutes later, Harvey and Tyson left the estate's gate. After that, Tyson stepped on the gas and they quickly headed to a hotel in the countryside of Wolsing.Harvey even made a few calls during the journey. George quickly sent in new information he had gathered."Sir, people from Country A hold the shares of the Geraldton Hotel in the countryside. This hotel benefits from some kind of extraterritoriality. Those who came to this place were either the wealthy or the powerful. You might have some recollection about the person who has the majority of shares in this hotel. It was the Yates of Country A."After what happened in South City earlier, they stayed silent for a while before extending their influence in our country again. The Geraldton Hotel is their family's stronghold in our country. Your ex-sister-in-law, Xynthia, is related to the Yates. This time, the Yates used their relationship with your ex-mother-in-law Lilian to invite Xynthia to their talent show in this region.
There was a moment of deep thought on Geoffrey's face. After a moment, he asked Neve, "Neve, tell me about a few verses regarding your training technique that involves mental strength. I'll give it a look."Neve hesitated momentarily, leaned closer to Geoffrey's ear, and whispered a few sentences. Geoffrey's expression changed as he listened to those words. He closed his eyes and simulated it carefully in his mind.After a long while, Geoffrey opened his eyes and coldly said, "From today onward, stop practicing Servitas' mental cultivation technique. You have to give up all of it. Also, seal the remaining Six-Paths Fragrance and send them to Dragon Cell for analysis. See if there's anything inside that is hallucinogenic…"Then, Geoffrey remembered something else. "Did your teacher personally teach you all the mental cultivation techniques?" A hint of tension flashed through Geoffrey's eyes when he asked the question. If Servitas really did intentionally teach Neve a technique with s
After hearing what Harvey had to say, everyone exchanged glances. Lune and Sol were very experienced, and they quickly zoomed into the video recording and started to check the details. After carefully scanning it, everyone noticed Neve's action was extremely mechanical, and her eyes were completely blank. Even her actions activating the Rainstorm Needles were extremely puppetlike.When Neve saw this, she was shocked. "How can I fall under someone else's control like this? I'm trained in Servitas' school of martial arts, and it demands extremely high mental mastery. How can I fall into someone's control so easily? Not to mention that one doesn't have to use the Six-Paths Fragrance to control me, right? But most importantly… I've never fallen for someone's mind control until Harvey appeared… Could it be that it's you who are controlling me?" Neve immediately turned to look at Harvey, looking vigilant.Harvey rolled his eyes. "What's the point of me doing that?""So you can get my gran
"Stop! Everyone, stop!" When Lune and Sol saw what was happening, they were stunned and stopped right before Harvey. They knew Geoffrey's condition, so they were very sure that it was Geoffrey's inner demon going wild just now."Drop all your Rainstorm Needles right now! We can decide everything once Mr. Geoffrey is awake!" Lune ordered the men and quickly checked the mobile that was already set up nearby, wanting to see what was happening."Are you stupid, Lune? Didn't you see that my grandpa is almost dead because of him? Sol, stop them right now! Do it! Kill Harvey! Kill whoever dares to stop you!" Neve screamed, on the verge of a breakdown.The dozens of security guards exchanged glances and hesitated and did not dare move when they saw how chaotic it was in the study."We'll see who's behind this right now!" Lune had already grabbed the phone, and he immediately projected what the phone had recorded onto the wide-screen TV in the study.Soon, they all saw how Neve appeared at
Harvey instinctively kicked Geoffrey's chair when he narrowed his eyes, looking at what was happening. There was a bang, and the chair fell to the ground. The silver needles from the Rainstorm Needles flew past where the two of them were just moments ago, striking the big desk.Instantly, a big hole appeared on the desk, and corrosive liquid flowed out. It was terrifying. However, Neve blankly raised her right hand. Just as Harvey was about to make his move, Geoffrey appeared right before Neve and grabbed her right hand tightly, his expression brutal."How dare you… I have raised you for twenty years! And now, you want to kill me? Time to die!" As Geoffrey said that, he moved Neve's arm and aimed the Rainstorm Needles in her sleeve right on her own forehead.Harvey blinked, and he instantly knew what was happening.Because of Neve's assault, the inner demon within Geoffrey clawed its way out. Geoffrey had already lost control. Meanwhile, Neve started to regain some clarity from the
Harvey smiled. "Aren't you afraid that it'll cause discord once your words reach back to Grand City if you praise me this much? I'm going to Grand City eventually."Geoffrey's eyes slightly narrowed when he heard it, and then he smiled. "It makes sense if you're going to the city. Since you're the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance, which makes you the mayor of Grand City, it's logical if you want to go there. But there's something you need to be mindful of. The Seven Families publicly acknowledged Dan as the scion of Grand City, and everyone thought he would become the representative."If you go to Grand City, everyone will see you as trying to usurp power whether you want it or not. When that happens, the two of you will never have peace until one of you is dead…""Dead?" Harvey smirked. "What makes him think he has the right to call himself Grand City's scion? If he wants to become the owner of Grand City, he has to reclaim his status and become a representative and not
Meanwhile, Sol moved a chair over for Harvey and made a cup of tea for him. Harvey drank the flower tea that had just been freshly brewed. After a drink, he said with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Geoffrey.""You saved me, so it's nothing strange for me to show you some appreciation," replied Geoffrey with a smile as he waved his hand. Then, Sol and Lune closed and covered all the windows and doors leading to the studies. Later, he said, "Harvey, I've prepared everything I need to. It's all in your hands now."In the next few days, he had already written down his own comprehension of his martial arts and those that he believed needed to be recorded, then passed them to Sol and Lune for safekeeping. Geoffrey was prepared for the consequences of his treatment."Alright. Since you have made the decision, then I won't delay this any further. But I suggest that we should make a video recording. That way, you will not only know what changes occur to your body but also what I did." Harvey sugge
"You heard it too, didn't you? I gave Victoria a call," Harvey said openly. "Victoria is the eldest princess of the Empire. She owed me one, so I asked her a favor. To her, something like this is easily within her powers."Yvonne was shocked. "You're actually familiar with the Empire's eldest princess?"Harvey smiled. "It's all in the past. Not to mention that this time, it involves the lives of many of your relatives. It's more convenient if the Empire is the one that makes the move."Yvonne gave it a thought and mumbled, "Sir, you probably need to repay her for a favor this huge, right? If you need anything, just let me know, and I'll have the Xaviers prepare them.""Well… There's no need to," Harvey said as he glanced at his phone screen with a message written in the Empire's script. "I guess this is all over once I find some time to treat her to a meal."When she heard it, Yvonne's expression instantly turned strange. But she was a smart woman; she knew there were things she s
