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
“Oh? Aren’t you scared to ask?Rylee Patel chuckled playfully.“I can tell you if you really want to know!“Queenie York herself has my back!“The next successor of the Yorks of Hong Kong!“Are you scared now?!“You should kneel already if that’s the case!”Harvey York cracked a smile.“Queenie? I’m so scared! It looks like I’ll have to give my dear sister a call now…“I don’t have a lot of talents, but I sure do have quite a number of talented people around me.“Each of them is also more capable than the last.”“Are you still pretending?!“How long are you planning on putting up the facade?!Rylee showed a disdainful expression on her face.“You’re nothing in front of me! What can your sister even do in this case?!”Harvey dialed a number with a smile before turning on the speakers.A gentle tone could be heard from the other side of the phone.“Did you get in trouble again, Harvey?“Oh, Queenie. There’s someone here that doesn’t believe that you can stand up for me
After ridiculing Rylee Patel enough, Harvey York stepped forward before putting her phone in her hand and lightly patting her on the face.What goes around, comes around!Rylee’s eyes frantically twitched when she tried her best to stay away from Harvey. She held her phone tightly but had no courage even to answer the call.Harvey squinted when he saw the sight.“What? Are you scared now?“You can’t even pick up a phone call?”“Let me tell you something, Harvey! Don’t think you’ll have your way with me just because you have Queenie York by your side!“I’m not scared of you!” exclaimed Rylee with a fierce look.“I’m here to protect my family’s interests. I also stand with the law!“Reason is on my side!“I’m not scared of you!”Silas John came to his senses before he showed a faint smile.“Ms. Patel’s right. The world needs fearless people who obey the law like her to protect us innocents!“Don’t you worry! The John family stands beside you!“Queenie wouldn’t dare provoke
“Big Brother? What’s the matter?”Elias Patel came to his senses. There were only a handful of people who had his phone number. He could tell Harvey York’s voice through the other side of the phone.“It’s been a while, Elias. I didn’t want to bother the successor of the Patel family in the first place…“But I got into minor trouble.“I needed to call you!“Do you know of a person named Rylee Patel?“Not only is she trying to take me down, but she’s also saying you requested this yourself.“Did you start getting cocky as soon as I left Mordu or something?”“Rylee?Elias froze before showing a cold expression.“Of course not! That’s not the case at all!“I’ve always respected you since we first met!“Rylee’s just a useless relative of the Patel family!“She’s been using the family name to take advantage of everything and do whatever she wants!“Don’t trust a word the b*tch says!“Don’t worry! I’ll call her right now to teach her a lesson!”Elias immediately hung up his ph
“I’m sorry, Sir York!” apologized Rylee Patel while biting her lip.“I still can’t hear you. What did you say?” asked Harvey York with a curious look.“I’m really sorry, Sir York!” exclaimed Rylee.“If an apology’s enough, then what’s the point of cops in the first place?Slap!The hope in Rylee’s heart finally shattered into pieces.Her pride was utterly crushed when she slammed her knees before Harvey.“I was wrong, Sir York! This was all my fault!“I was being ignorant!“I was narrow-minded!“Please! Just pretend this never happened!“Please spare me!”Rylee also did not hesitate to show her sincerity…She kept slapping her own face until it was completely swollen.Her righteous and dominant attitude completely dissipated.Her heart was only filled with resentment and helplessness…She knew that she had no other choice.Not only would she lose her glory and riches…Without Harvey’s forgiveness, her entire family would be instantly killed off.Not just Queenie York
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
