“I came here to have a heart-to-heart talk with you about three things, Harvey.”Dean didn’t waste any time speaking up.“First, I’d like to thank you for coming all the way here just to lend a hand.”“Without you, I would’ve been six feet under. I don’t know what would happen to my dear granddaughter, either.”Harvey smiled.“You’re overestimating me. The Cobb family’s problem can only be solved by the people in the same family. An outsider like me would only make things worse.”Dean smiled back.“There are no everlasting dynasties, as there are no eternal undying families.”“When a family steps into a new generation, there will always be a price to be paid. The family can only continue on that way.”“With your help, the family will last for at least a century.”“Because of this, I decided to give you thirty percent of the family’s shares as thanks. Please take it.”Harvey wanted to decline, but he could only accept the gift after seeing Dean’s sincere expression.With his
Harvey didn’t know how to respond at all; he only smiled awkwardly after hearing Dean’s words.Dean started to feel a little ashamed too.Harvey chuckled awkwardly before quickly changing the subject.“Right, what’s the third thing you were going to mention?”Harvey looked at the Rolex watch on his wrist.They had been talking for around half an hour; Harvey had to board the plane as soon as they were done with the conversation.Without wasting any time, Dean gestured to Harvey to stop at a gazebo.“It won’t be much trouble for you, I think,” he said with a smile.“I do hope that you can help me deal with this one last problem.”“It’ll be hard for me to do anything if I can’t stand up. I believe that you’ll be able to do this for me, right?”Harvey frowned.“You’re an expert martial artist, Elder Cobb. You know your body best.”“You’ll fully recover in just six months. Don’t tell me that you can’t even wait that long.”Dean sighed.“It’s not that I can’t wait. Time waits
“These two things are enough for us to take action.”Dean frowned.“So you’re saying you’ve been keeping an eye on me for years…”“Well, of course,” the leader nodded with a smile.“The only God of War of the South Sea will naturally have a few sleepless nights. Someone already paid a great price just for you to die decades ago!”“We haven’t been able to take action ever since we accepted the mission.”“Katy had been keeping you safe even when you were basically crippled by the poison—we never had a chance to take action.”“Because of this, the Royal Court has been in the hall of shame for decades.”“Now that we finally have the opportunity, it’s better if we end things quickly, won't it?” the leader added, still smiling. “This is a good place, and the time isn’t half bad either. Today is destined to be your death anniversary.”The leader waved his hand and revealed a machete.The others coldly chuckled, and did the same.Faint blue glows could be seen on the machetes.Th
Harvey looked at the assassins with a sincere gaze.The leader chuckled coldly after hearing his words.“I have to admit. While your tone’s pretty dreadful, your offer is indeed a tempting one.”“That said, I know that a prominent figure like you is only trying to make fun of us for saying those things…”“But I also know that if we do accept the offer, you’d actually give us the money.”“After all, your plane’s about to leave. You wouldn’t want to waste any more time here.”“You may be powerful and confident, but you have dead weight by your side right now.”“What would happen to Dean if we actually started fighting?”“He’s recovered a little, but he can’t even move his legs right now. At this point, he’s just target practice for us.”“Even if you’re God, it wouldn’t be hard for the seven of us to deal with the God of War.”Harvey nodded.“You’re pretty smart. I was hoping that we could talk this out. It’s bad luck to fight, anyway. After all, you people work for money, and
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!The leader revealed a horrible expression and quickly moved his arms around to block the attack, edging backward at the same time.He was fast, but Harvey was way faster.Harvey appeared in front of the leader like a shadow before throwing another punch.Bam!The sound of impact against a hard object could be heard; the leader must’ve been wearing high-tech armor.That said, Harvey’s punch was as strong as an earthquake; he instantly crushed right through the armor and reached the leader’s chest.There was a loud crack, and his chest instantly collapsed.His body flew back three feet at the speed of lightning, and blood gushed out of his chest the moment he landed. He coughed out blood, his face pale. In just a single hit, the leader was heavily injured.Everyone was dead silent.“Interesting. As expected from the leader of the Seven Absolutes to be a peak King of Arms.”Harvey sighed as he looked at his palm.“I didn’t think I couldn’t kill you wi
“Shut up!”The leader sent Dean a cold glare after hearing his words.“What right does an old dog like you have to lecture us?!”“If it wasn’t for you coming to our headquarters, killing the most promising people that could become Gods of War and severing our lineage, the Royal Court wouldn’t have ended up like this!”“What a shame! Hundreds of years worth of history destroyed, all because of an old b*stard!”“Even without this mission, we’ll make sure that you’re dead!”The other members of the organization were furious when they heard their leader’s words; they wanted to rip Dean to shreds so badly.Without question, Dean’s rise as a God of War was blatantly threatening the Royal Court’s existence.If not, they wouldn’t have been thinking about him for the past thirty years.Harvey looked curiously at Dean.‘Didn’t think that he was this impressive back then…’‘That’s only natural, though; any God of War had to be a legend one way or another.’“Just do what you have to do
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!Two and Three pounced at Harvey at the same time.A piercing sound of the air crackling could be heard, as extremely strong currents could be heard from them.In a blink of an eye, the two were already in front of Harvey.He remained calm despite it; he was even showing a hint of disdain.“You’re coming at me together?”Harvey smiled faintly, and swung his palms forward with a steady speed.Fwoosh!Two and Three were twitching their eyes frantically. Harvey’s slaps looked simple, but a terrifying power was hidden within them.In their eyes, the seemingly-ordinary slaps were infinitely expanding.Their heads started to feel numb; they felt like they were about to explode.Simply put, they only had such a reaction when they were in utter danger.“Die!”Two and Three screamed in unison; they knew they had no choice but to charge.Their machetes swung at the same time, hoping to keep Harvey’s slaps away.Slap!Slap!Loud slaps could be heard.Two
After seeing the Seven Absolutes swarming Harvey at the same time, Dean yelled weakly, “Look out, Sir York!”“It’s fine.”Harvey stepped forward casually.The first three killers pounced at Harvey at the same time; their attacks were as fierce and dominant as mountain tigers.Three machetes swung right toward Harvey.Harvey stepped back and calmly flicked his fingers, and swung his palm. Slap, slap, slap!The slaps easily snuck right in between the blades, hitting the killers’ faces.They quickly covered their swollen faces, stumbling back.“A God of War!”The leader finally realized Harvey’s true strength.“Kill him now!” he screamed frantically.Naturally, the killers were extremely envious of Harvey’s achievements despite his young age.At the same time, the fear in their hearts amplified.Two instantly swung his machete to the side; the attack looked like a surging wave crashing right into Harvey.This was one of the Seven Absolutes’ killer moves—the Surging Tide.
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,
To the Islanders, whether it was killed or be killed, it did not matter much. During the Warring States, their entire civilization almost became extinct.This was nothing at all.However, all the elites who accompanied Djinn were elites from Sky Plane. To think that they died terribly… How could it not make him fearful? Djinn thought that while it would not be a walk in the park to complete this mission, he still needed to put in some effort.But he never expected that all the people he took with him had all crumpled on the ground, dead. They were Kings of Arms elites. Whether it was the swordsmen from the Origin Sword Style or the ninjas from the Origin Ninjustu, they were all the backbone of their respective schools. Each one of them required a lot of time and effort to train.He did not expect them to all die in such a terrifying manner. All he had left to say was this woman in white was simply too frightening.But when faced with his question, the woman in white did not say an
This changed Djinn's expression. Then, he finally saw the name of the drama. There was only one word shown. Ambush.The moment Djinn saw that word, his expression turned extremely dark."Something's wrong! Hear my orders, everyone! Take your drugs and attack with full force! Kill Neve Foster!" Djinn was also someone quite decisive. Once he noticed something was amiss with the current situation, he did not retreat and even quickly gave his orders.At this point, they were no longer in a position to retreat. As he made his orders, all the ninjas and swordsmen pulled out the longsword by their waists. All of them were ready to pounce at their target.But no matter how strong they were, they could not stop themselves from making war cries, as if they did not care about their own lives. However, the expected battle to the deaths did not occur at all. When the Island Nation elites cried out, the white figure in the living room reappeared in a flash.At this time, the Island Nation elite
Shortly, a ninja in black garb appeared not far away in front of them. He was the scout sent to investigate ahead. The scout's figure appeared right before Djinn. He bowed and said, "Lord Djinn."Djinn coldly asked, "How's the situation ahead?"The scout whispered, "I've confirmed that Geoffrey has joined the Grand City's Seven Families Joint Meeting. Three-fourths of the Universal Sect's elites had gone to the meeting. I have also confirmed that the place Neve stayed in, a courtyard at the back, isn't that strictly guarded. Our people have already hacked the security cameras in our route. We can immediately enter."Then, the scout quickly took out his tablet and showed Djinn some videos and pictures. Djinn looked at them and could not help but exclaim, "Good. Very good. Then let's do this together. Everyone, remember that we must finish this as quickly as possible. Our objective is to kill Neve and ignore everyone else. Understand?"Djinn's tone was low and serious."Yes!" All th
"That should work," said Coco after considering it. "I never liked Neve for the longest time. If we can pin her death on Vaida and Harvey, there's no harm to me at all. But we can't use anyone from Parkerville, so I'll need to make some arrangements…""No need for that," Dan said. "No matter how weak the Fosters are, they're still one of the Seven Families of Grand City. No one can touch them if one doesn't give them their all. It's best to get Sverker or Ghostface to kill her. I've been sealing all the entrances so far and not letting the people from Sky Plane enter. I believe they're very willing to cooperate if I simply ask for a favor."Dan gave it a deep thought after a while. Then, he smiled and said, "Right, I'll personally inform Clarion about this. Telling him that his beloved is in danger. I wonder, will it be Harvey's fault again if Clarion went to save her without making any preparations and ended up dying?"Coco's expression was merciless when she heard Dan's plans, thi
When Coco heard what Dan had to say, she gave him an expectant look. "Dan, when you finally become mayor, I'll be more than just the princess of Parkerville. I will be the princess of the entire Grand City! Let's see who dares to cross me then!"Then, Dan smiled gently at Coco. "It's good that you finally understand this.""But, the problem is that I still can't let this go! Vaida and Harvey have crossed a line! How could they slap a face as pretty as mine? How ridiculous!" Coco held her still-swollen face, looking vicious."Not to mention, Vaida even wanted me to reimburse her for all the profit I had already taken from the restaurant! But am I supposed to give that up? I can't bear the loss of face!" Coco said as a cold glint appeared in her eyes. It was obvious that she was never going to let it slide."Do you really want to get revenge?" Dan asked after giving it a thought. "The only person who could officially keep the Seven Families under control was the Hierophant. You can t
"He might look like a simple man, but every time he benefits from something, it's always because of good luck. But when someone is always this lucky, then the luck becomes part of his power. In the past, I also believed that I could easily crush him. But the result? Just how much have we lost in Grand City? "Clarion, Durandal… Other than these two, how many more must we sacrifice? How many people must we lose? That's why when we're targeting him, whether we choose peace or war, we must think things through and consider the consequences. Otherwise, we might be in huge trouble if we're careless…"Obviously, Dan was learning from his past mistakes. After failing multiple times, he had a deep understanding of Harvey. Even if her most beloved sister was utterly humiliated, even if Parkerville was humiliated entirely, Dan still believed that he needed to be careful about this. Since no one could tell who would come up on top if this continued."Fine. Since we can't secretly attack or get
Just when Harvey and Alexei were shocked at the truth Vaida had revealed, Coco was back in her home. Not only was Coco still awake, but she was also pacing around Dan's room with an angered expression."Of course, I know he's the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance and also know that he's Vaida's so-called man of destiny. He even humiliated Sky Plane at the training hall earlier. And then, he even made that traitor Clarion turn on you after what happened at the casino."But are we supposed to be scared of him because of all this? Kill him! Kill him now! I believe with your power, you have all the means to make him suffer and die in Grand City! What right does an outsider have to show off like that in Grand City? Are you kidding me?!"Coco no longer had the charm and grace when she was outside. All that was on her beautiful face was a vengeful expression. She wished she could stomp on Harvey right now and kill him using her high heels.Dan ignored her and simply drank the ho
When Coco heard what Harvey had said, her face twisted in anger. She wished she could pounce at him and tear his flesh with her teeth. But the last of her conscience made her suppress her anger.All these years, she called herself the princess of Grand City and openly said she could one-up all the women in this city, becoming the so-called number one lady. As for Vaida, the former number one? Coco did not pay her much attention and simply treated her as a mental patient who was not even worth her time.But now, she needed to apologize to Vaida?At that moment, all Coco could feel was her utter suffocation. But if she refused to apologize, Harvey would not let her be. He might even slap her again.Meanwhile, if she called reinforcements from Dan and Parkerville, it might not be enough to suppress this fool. Not to mention, this might make her the laughingstock of Grand City.When those thoughts crossed her mind, Coco decided to suppress her anger and end this situation. Once this w
