“I’m fine, Ellen. I almost died, and my face and neck are hurting like Hell!”Eden was actual scum; he could clearly tell that Ellen was getting soft.He didn’t keep going against Harvey; instead, he used the opportunity to hold onto Ellen’s soft hand with a miserable look.“Did you know? All this pain is still nothing compared to the pain of losing you!”“If you forgive me, I’d be willing to get beaten to death or crippled, let alone endure this kind of pain!”“You’re extremely important to me!”Eden’s acting was immaculate.“Please give me another chance, Ellen!” he exclaimed.“My brother challenged that man for you even though he knew that he was a savage, Ellen!” Valery added quickly.“He still gave his all to fight, even if he knew that he was going to lose! Can’t you see how brave he is?”“Look at him!”“My brother’s been pampered his entire life!”“And yet, he was willing to give up his life just for you! Are you still not going to forgive him after this?”“A man is
Harvey looked at Ellen’s miserable expression, and nodded.None of this mattered to him, anyway.Ellen let out a sigh of relief after receiving Harvey’s answer.“I’m happy I got to know you, Harvey,” she said seriously.“I’m thankful you’ve been by my side as well.”“That said, I still want to be together with Eden.”She then walked toward Eden before putting on the Pigeon Egg Ring, a faint smile on her face.“If you do anything out of hand from now on, Eden, then don’t blame me for what happens next!”She then leaned into Eden’s arms with a fulfilled expression.“I got it!” Eden cried.“I’ll do everything my princess says!”Eden completely ignored the pain on his face before sweeping Ellen off the ground and kissing her cheeks.He then glared at Harvey, as if he had already won.‘Why’s a kept man like him trying to go against the young master of the Cobb family?’‘What a joke!’‘Doesn’t he know his limits?’Eden was planning to slap Harvey around to vent his anger afte
“Leave! We don’t welcome you here!”Eden had a prideful look when he saw Harvey’s “miserable” expression.“For Ellen’s sake, I’ll let you off the hook for now!”“That said, don’t blame me for what happens tomorrow!”Harvey glanced at Ellen without saying a word; he wasn’t going to go after Eden for her sake, but…If Eden was going to cause more trouble, Harvey wouldn’t mind dealing with Eden.“Harvey, wait!”When Harvey was about to leave, Ellen remembered something important.She waved her hand to gather the crowd. There was a brief hesitation on her face, but it was soon replaced with determination.“Eden’s my boyfriend. You’re a good friend of mine, Harvey, and so is Katy!”“I know you and Katy don’t think too well of the Cobb family. I know you’re planning to open up your business to go against them when they’re celebrating their anniversary.”“I know that you gave Katy the original formula for the Cobb family’s Silver Elixir, too…”“But for my sake, can you settle this
Harvey calmly rejected Eden’s offer.After hearing the obedient man daring to fight back…Ellen’s exquisite face darkened, and she frowned.She gritted her teeth and shouted at Harvey.“Since you’re being so heartless, Harvey! Fine… Since you won’t pay me any respect, then don’t blame me for what happens next!”“You won’t be getting the office building or my company’s help anymore!”“Tell your people to take everything away tomorrow—no, right now!”“I’ll smash up the entire place too! You won’t get anything from me!”“After all, I have to help my boyfriend and my future family. I can’t side with an enemy!”‘Take everything away?’‘Smash up the entire place?’Harvey stopped in his tracks, and shot Ellen a mystified look. After everything he had done for her, he thought she wouldn’t come to this…And yet, immediately after getting back together with Eden, she said all that without hesitation.Harvey smiled faintly at her. “Are you sure you want me to do that?”“Are you su
Harvey let out a sigh.In his eyes, Ellen was a reasonable person.Thus, he didn’t think that she could turn out like this for Eden’s sake.She was trying to take advantage of Harvey, yet she acted as if she was scolding him on her moral high ground.Harvey didn’t even know what to say.“I understand what you’re saying. I know the value of the formula!”Ellen’s pride rose up to greater heights after she was disrespected by Harvey; she had an extremely horrible look on her face.“That said, you should know that the formula in your hands still belongs to the Cobb family!”“Don’t you understand how shameless you are for stealing that formula and demanding money for it?!”“That’s right!” Eden exclaimed coldly.“Our formula was stolen forty years ago! I suspect that you were the thief from back then!”“If you don’t give us the formula, I’ll make you live the rest of your life behind bars!”“You hear that, Harvey? He’ll call the cops at any moment!” Ellen said earnestly.“You’re
“I’m giving you two hours! Clean everything up till then!”“Even if I smash up the entire store, I won’t let you use it!” Ellen exclaimed through gritted teeth.Eden burst out laughing.“You can’t be so wasteful, Ellen!”“Just give that to the family. We were planning to open up a massive flagship store, anyway.”“When that happens, you should come host the anniversary. We’ll show the entire city who the happiest couple here is!”Eden glared pridefully at Harvey.‘How dare a country bumpkin from Country H even go against me?!’ he thought angrily. ‘Does he have a death wish?!’Ellen glared at Harvey. She wanted to see how he’d react—she wanted to see if he was going to get angry or resentful about it.“Fine,” Harvey said calmly.He turned around and left right after.He didn’t even try to stall anybody. The way he acted made it seem as if Ellen and Eden were talking to a brick wall—it was a completely useless conversation.Ellen froze.She thought Harvey would show his true
Ellen nodded after hearing Eden’s words.If Harvey really had that formula, he would’ve been filthy rich by now! Why open up a shop with Katy in the first place?More importantly, Katy had been absent the entire time.Maybe Harvey was bluffing about opening up the store as well. Maybe he was just trying to grab Ellen’s attention so he could use her to make a comeback.After losing the chance, Harvey had no option but to leave with a broken heart. Ellen would probably not see his face ever again.Without hesitating, Ellen caressed Eden’s face with a tender look.“I’m sorry, Eden. You got hurt so badly because of me…”“This is nothing.”“For you, this pain means nothing. This is the symbol of my love for you!”“After this, we’ll love each other even more!”Eden flashed her a sad smile.“I won’t cause any more trouble to Harvey for your sake. The Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance, on the other hand…”“No matter what, I’m still a part of the organization. Harvey even beat me
“It’s fine if we leave, Sir York, but we really can’t bring all this with us. The workers can’t stand the weather, either. If we don’t find a storage place for everything, it’ll all be useless!”The disciples of Longmen’s Hong Kong and Las Vegas branches who came all the way here were heartbroken as they looked at the materials and the medicine.For the past few days, they put all their heart and soul into this.Harvey thought about the situation for a while.“Harper, take the workers to see if there are any other places for us to rent.”“It doesn’t matter how expensive they are. It’ll be better if we can buy it.”Ellen said that everyone had to leave the store on the same day, but it shouldn’t be a problem even if they didn’t make it past midnight.Harper quickly ran out with a few workers in tow.Harvey crossed his legs and sat in front of the store, looking calm all the way.Half an hour passed soon after.Harper came back with a horrible look, panting profusely.“Sir Yor
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,
