‘How is this even possible?!’Everyone went dead silent.Their jaws instantly dropped!Harvey York’s actions were completely beyond everyone’s expectations. Everyone was filled with disbelief when they looked at the sight before them.Nobody thought that Harvey would be this arrogant, slapping Silas John aside.Silas was a young master of the John family, after all!He was just an adopted son of the head house, but some blood of the John family was still running through his veins!Even if he could not become the next successor, he was still Eldest Young Master John’s trusted subordinate!His status, identity, and power were far beyond anyone’s imagination!Countless rich and powerful people would usually pamper people like Silas!He was clearly superior!Other than the top-rated young masters and princes, who would dare disrespect someone like Silas?That said, the prominent figure was slapped aside on his very own cruise…Nobody could accept that.Grandma Cobb and the ot
Ellen Moreno was angry. Things were about to get really ugly.She felt that she had already been nice enough to Harvey York…She poured her heart out just to get Harvey a chance to survive. She even gave him an opportunity to fix his own mistake…And then what happened?Not only did he not cherish it, he even slapped Silas John himself.‘He’s just looking for his death at this point!’‘Who gave him the right?!’‘Who gave him the courage?!’‘Impressive! Impressive!”Silas was a seasoned man. He returned to his senses before coldly glaring at Harvey while suppressing his murderous intent. At this moment, he did not burst out in anger at all.“I’ve seen a lot of insane people back in the Golden Sands…“But even if they’re from the five hidden families or the top ten families…“They wouldn’t dare act this cocky before me!“Not only did you lose your only chance, but you also managed to get me really angry!Silas rubbed his slightly swollen face.“You’ll pay for your arroganc
“Heh! Young men these days are completely fearless!“Doesn’t he know how to show respect just because he’s a little capable?”At this moment, a person in a robe showed up on the second floor.She crossed her arms, revealing her majestic cleavage as she looked down at Harvey York.Her attire seemed quite antique, as if she was born from another timeline.Her tanned skin and calluses on her hands were enough to prove that she was an expert martial artist.The expert tapped on the railing before landing in front of Harvey with an elegant flip. After that, a hint of pride could be clearly seen on the expert’s face.After looking at the sword hanging on her waist, people started thinking that she was some sort of heroine seen in movies.The short-haired man was ecstatic when he saw the woman’s face.“Ms. Lowe! Quick! Kill them!“These b*stards are disrespecting Young Master John!”Trey Bierstadt took a step forward and glanced at the woman.“Step aside!” he coldly exclaimed.“D
“How dare you touch me, you little b*tch?! I’ll f*cking kill you!” exclaimed Trey Bierstadt coldly.Then, he pulled out his machete before Harvey York held him back.After feeling Silas John’s and the others’ looks of admiration, Ms. Kaylee Lowe felt utterly prideful.She pointed at the people in front of her with her nose with a cold smile.“Kneel already!”“Look closely, Harvey! This is Ms. Kaylee Lowe from the sacred martial arts training ground, Heaven’s Gate!“Not only is she an expert martial artist, but she’s also Young Master John’s personal bodyguard!“She’s killed more people than the meals you’ve had your entire life!”Ellen pitifully looked at Harvey.“It’ll be terrible if you make her angry…“I won’t be able to stop her if she’s dead set on killing you.”“The Heaven’s Gate?Harvey squinted at Kaylee.“You don’t know who I am? Do you really want to fight me like this?”“You’re just some representative of Country H’s Martial Arts Alliance, right?Kaylee showed
Silas John looked sternly when he saw the sight before him.Kaylee Lowe was an expert martial artist from Heaven’s Gate. She was one of the ten top talents of the entire sacred martial arts training ground.He paid a huge price just to have an expert like that by his side…But he did not expect Harvey York to slap Kaylee aside that easily.“Are you alright, Ms. Lowe?!”The bodyguards of the John family started panicking as soon as they came to their senses. They quickly stumbled off the ground and lifted Kaylee despite their injuries.Ellen Moreno’s eyes also kept twitching. The shock on her face was completely covered up with exquisite makeup.She could not wrap her head around Harvey’s boundless strength.“Tend to Ms. Lowe’s injuries right now!” exclaimed Silas promptly.“I… I’m fine!”Kaylee pushed the people around her to the side with a wretched expression on her face.She gritted her teeth when she glared at Harvey. She just could not believe that Harvey managed to tak
“How dare you?!”Kaylee Lowe gritted her teeth with a twisted look on her face.She wanted to fight Harvey York but immediately fell to the ground again before she could do anything. Her entire body was constantly trembling at this moment.Soon after that, she passed out.She was completely crippled.Harvey completely ignored the woman on the ground when he squinted at the second floor, waiting for the expert to show up.Unexpectedly, the terrifying murderous intent of the expert immediately went away.It was as if the person had never existed in the first place.“You’re insane, Harvey!”A dozen bodyguards were furious when they saw Harvey kicking Kaylee away.Even while there were still people being held in place by Harvey’s subordinates, they still raised their firearms at him without hesitation.It was as if they were ready to go down with him once and for all.“Do you know what you just did?!”“You can’t afford to go against Ms. Lowe!”Naturally, Ellen Moreno could no
Yoana Mendoza’s expression changed when she stood beside Harvey York.“Sir York, this is Rylee Patel.”Harvey squinted before showing a faint smile.“The once prosperous family during the ancient times?”“That’s right…”While Harvey and Yoana were talking to each other, the big-bellied man stepped out, desperately trying to get some attention.“Perfect timing, Ms. Patel!“Not only did this kid barge into the cruise, he even beat people up and took some people hostage! Ms. Lowe was crippled because of him too!“He’s completely disrespecting you and your family!“He’s also disrespecting us! You need to set things right for everyone here!“We’re heading to America because of your family’s grand invitation. We let go of everything just to get on the cruise!“You need to stand up for us now that we’re being taken advantage of!”The other guests also spoke up in unison, as if their reputation was saved with Rylee’s presence.After hearing those words, Silas John squinted before
“You’re talking reason to me now?“Fine! I’ll play along!“Ms. Patel, right? Are you not going to ask why I’m taking the Cobb family away?“Don’t you want to know what they did?“Or are you saying you’ve decided I’m already guilty after hearing the Moreno family’s words?”Rylee Patel let out a cold chuckle.“I don’t care if they committed arson or murder…“But I’m in charge of protecting them as long as they stay on the cruise!“Nobody has the right to flaunt their strength before me like this!“You can call the cops or file a complaint, but you don’t have the right to show off!“Besides, your actions are violating Country H’s laws!“Simply put, you should give up now before you get gunned down!”Harvey just smiled.“I heard that the people from the Patel family have no right to get involved with Hong Kong and Las Vegas business.“No matter how impressive you are, you have no say in this situation!”“Is that so?”Rylee stepped forward before whispering into Harvey’s ear
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
Harvey's expression became cold as he watched Mrs. Hoffman. He was completely done with her.Mrs. Hoffman bit her lip and stared at Hale for a long time. "You're right! The one who sold you out is me. I sold your identity to other people, too. I'm also the one that almost got you killed. When I heard about the Chapter of Ascension in the morning, I was also the one who sent the message!"Hale's expression was one of bitterness and grief. He gritted his teeth and asked coldly, "Why?""Why?" Mrs. Hoffman scoffed, a hint of disdain on her face. "Why do you think I did this? Fine, I'll tell you. It's easy—after marrying you for so many years, I've never had a life of peace! We're either living in the streets or hiding! I didn't ask for a wealthy life. I just want a normal and peaceful life like any other ordinary woman! But I can't see us ever having that life! "If that's the case, why can't I gamble everything away? Why can't I sell you in exchange for wealth so I can have an e
Hale let out a bitter cry with a sorrowful expression. How could anyone expose that the person who slept next to them would be the one to stab them in the back?Hale whispered, "I simply didn't want that person to be you. You have been with me for so many years and have suffered so much. I've already treated you as my only family. If family like you betrayed me, it would do nothing but make me suffer."That was why I arranged such a test. I was hoping that Mr. Harvey would betray me once he knew who I really was and that I really did have the Chapter of Ascension. That way, I could continue executing my plans in peace."I didn't expect him to be completely uninterested in the Chapter of Ascension. Instead, you were the one who betrayed me again. It also meant that the one who turned me to Camellia and let her trace me was you…"Harvey didn't pin any blame on Hale after hearing what had happened. After giving it a thought, he said, "Normally speaking, we've just met for the first
"You… Hale! How…" Mrs. Hoffman crawled back up, her mind going black for a moment. She quickly pulled out her phone, about to make a call. Because she was too nervous, she kept on pressing the wrong numbers. She couldn't make that call.Harvey didn't say anything as he looked at this scene calmly.Meanwhile, Hale's expression began to change. There was a hint of sorrow in his eyes as he looked at the woman he loved. "Honey… Don't tell me that despite Mr. Harvey having no interest in the Chapter of Ascension, you let someone else get it instead? In short, you're the one that betrayed me… And has been betraying me…"A tear of blood formed from the corner of Hale's eyes as he spoke.Mrs. Hoffman, who was still trying to make that call, shuddered as she turned and looked at the man whom she had accompanied for many years.At the same time, someone pushed open the door. It was Clarion. He quickly walked into the room and leaned in next to Harvey, whispering, "Something happened
