“A Bioweapon?”Kellan gasped. He naturally knew what the thing was.“I didn’t think you people have ties with the Americans! Why would you get something that heinous here?”“Do you think I’ll just fold after seeing that?”“Even if you rip me to shreds and burn me up, I’ll never betray the head!”“Kill me already!”“If not, I’ll tear you b*stards apart!”“Interesting. I admire your tenacity.”The woman put away her makeup box before picking up the needle and tapping on it a few times.“Still, that tenacity is nothing to us.”“You’re an experienced man. You know that once we inject this into you, you’ll beg for mercy no matter how strong of a man you are!”“When that happens, you’ll do whatever we tell you to!”Kellan’s expression changed instantly. Sweat dripped down his face.After living in the underworld for so long, he knew exactly what the needle had in store.The American Bioweapon was combined with the Frontier Possession Technique.Once the fluid was injected, all
The woman smiled.“People like you can never imagine what Mr. Faceless has in store.”“You want to go against someone like him? How naive can you get?”“You should just give up now. Struggling does you no good, anyway.”“You’ll have people joining you soon too. Kairi and the others will kneel.”The woman crouched down, ready to inject Kellan with the needle.“Try me!”Kellan’s expression changed. He grabbed a piece of glass on the ground and swung it toward his neck.He’d rather die than become one of these people’s slaves.Bam!The woman quickly kicked the glass out of Kellan’s hand.She stepped on his chest, ready to inject the needle again.“Sigh…”A sigh could be heard.Harvey walked out with his arms crossed.This had nothing to do with him, but he had no choice but to take action after hearing that Kairi and Evermore would probably get involved in the situation.After all, this was one of the reasons why he showed up in Golden Sands.The woman and her companions
“The art of killing is an odd one, but this is just child’s play to me.”Harvey was as calm as ever.“I can deal with this in just three minutes.”The woman squinted, then threw Harvey a judgemental gaze.“So you want us to let you and Kellan go in return for doing us the favor, right?” she said, grinning.Harvey casually nodded.He didn’t want to fight if he could avoid it. After all, it’d be bad if he killed the people who were involved with Evermore.How was he supposed to get information out of those people then?“It’s quite an attractive deal, but I’m afraid I have to decline.”The woman smiled calmly.“That said, I’ll make your death a quick one since you’re being this nice.”Harvey narrowed his eyes. He thought the woman would agree to the deal instantly.Even if she had a deep grudge against Kellan, it’d be nothing compared to her own life.But since she declined so decisively, then she was clearly not forced into the situation.She had willingly brought this up
Faceless had a powerful high status within Evermore. He was the head of Golden Sands’ branch in the past.These people were his trusted subordinates—all of them were outstanding professionals within the organization.And yet, they couldn’t even take a single hit against Harvey.Harvey couldn’t care less about what Kellan was thinking, and casually dealt with the latter’s injuries before standing up.“Right. You’ll heal within three days. Find yourself a doctor to prescribe you some medicine whenever you’re free.”Kellan finally came to his senses.“I’ll cut to the chase, Sir York,” he said after stumbling off the ground.“From now on, just call me if you need anything at all.”“You’re too kind. I just did what I had to do. I’m responsible for what happened too, since I asked to meet you here,” Harvey replied.“Also, get your men here to clean this up.”“Are you coming with me? Or are you staying here?”“I-I’m coming!”Kellan took a look around before shivering instinctively
“Is it the way of everlasting life?”“That’s right.”Kellan was shocked that Harvey would get it right, but continued explaining the situation anyway.“Rumors say that because all ancestors of the Hermit Families have been kings in the past, they’ve looked for the exact same thing.”“And after the fall of the dynasty, these things would naturally fall into the hands of their descendants.”“Legends say that the way to everlasting life will be revealed once the secrets of the six Hermit Families are gathered together…”“Though, that doesn’t even exist.”“According to what I know, their so-called secrets are just things related to their families’ heritage.”“To ancient families, secrets like these cannot be leaked.”“After realizing Faceless’ true goal, under Kairi’s lead, the six Hermit Families banded together to attack him.”“Faceless turned from a hero into a prisoner in just a single day. He lost many of his men as well.”“That said, right as he was being sent to jail, the
“So you’re saying Faceless was the one behind the plane incident where someone was trying to kill Kairi with a C4…”“That’s right. He was probably involved with the ambush Kairi got in before, too.”“The Skeleton Gang were the ones taking action, but Faceless is definitely controlling them.”Kellan nodded.Many things seemed completely unrelated to each other…But after analyzing the situation, that was simply not the case.“Looks like it was right for me to come here,” Harvey said.Evermore took action as soon as he arrived.Either Harvey got extremely lucky, or Evermore’s luck finally ran out.“Alright. Enough of this.”Harvey tapped on Kellan’s shoulder.“Where are you going next? Let me take you there.”Kellan sat up straight.“I’m headed to the Regency Building,” he replied.Half an hour later, the car arrived in front of the place.This was one of Golden Sands’ important landmarks.The first four floors were a large shopping mall, followed by an office building up
Under Ronnie’s playful gaze, Westin’s eyes twitched frantically.He pretended not to see Ronnie, but the latter still showed up in front of him anyway.“What? Aren’t you going to apologize to your boss after embarrassing all the rich playboys here?!”“Did you forget how to give a proper greeting too?!”“Pretty cocky, I’d say!”Ronnie approached Westin and tapped the latter’s face.Westin, who was always acting all high and mighty, didn’t seem angry at all even though he was being thoroughly humiliated.Instead, he quickly stood up and started bowing.“I’m sorry, Boss! I didn’t see you!”Westin forced a smile, but it was clear that he was utterly terrified of Ronnie.It seemed he didn’t want to see Ronnie at all.“Oh? Has the young master of Deepsky Corporation become so cocky now?”“Were you pretending that you didn’t see me?”“Are you blind? Or are you looking down on me?”Ronnie pinched Westin’s face with a disdainful expression.“Come on! Smile for me!”The usually a
“Not bad! Not bad at all! We have such pretty ladies over here!”Ronnie immediately sized up Henley.“I have a whole box of 1982 Rieslings today, Ms. Johnson. Why don’t we have a good time tasting all that alcohol together?”“Right, I forgot to tell you. I don’t like people disrespecting me.”“If you say no, then you’re doing just that.”Ronnie then slid his hand on Henley’s thigh.“Oh! You’re so mean, Young Master Lee!”“I can’t drink that well! Two glasses are all I can manage…” Henley said shyly.After she was fired from her store, she had been throwing herself into everyone’s arms before becoming Westin’s girlfriend.That said, she didn’t feel despair at all; she seemed welcoming to the idea of leaving with Ronnie despite acting the other way.At her coy demeanor, Ronnie smiled from ear to ear.“She’s my girlfriend, Young Master Lee…”Westin quickly pushed Ronnie’s hand away.He didn’t like his girlfriend that much, but no man could stand being cucked.Besides, this w
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
"That's because the Empire produces most of the firearms we Second Caste used. Once they stop their services, we will lose access to those firearms in the short term. The First Case will use this chance to retaliate. If we ever reach that stage, the Second Caste is doomed. That's why we have no choice but to execute the Empire's orders."That's not the worst part. Unless we can completely go without the weapons produced by the Empire from within our army, otherwise… Harvey basically owns the Second Caste from now on. Crossing him is suicidal. In our current condition, the Second Caste doesn't have the resources to change the firearms from within our army. That's why, whether we like it or not, he basically owns us," said Bart, heaving a sigh. His expression darkened."Darn it… I told them I would rather cross the people from Country A than the people from Country H. Why didn't they believe me? They only regretted it after they had been thoroughly humiliated."When Zoe heard it, she
"Let's go!" Bart's expression darkened when he saw things had reached this stage. With a wave of his hand, he was going to leave with his underlings. He was filled with dissatisfaction.Today was supposed to be his day of glory. He was supposed to crush the Xaviers right under his boots. He was even prepared to have some fun with the women from the Xaviers. But he never expected one call from Harvey to be enough to turn his dreams into nothing. He was extremely dissatisfied.Zoe shuddered and was also about to leave. She wished Harvey could forgive her existence at this moment."Did I tell you that you can leave?" Harvey glanced at the group as they reached the entrance. "Don't forget, all of you have to give me an explanation that I'm happy with."Then, Harvey glanced at Zoe and said, "And you, Maiden. Don't forget your words so soon?"Zoe's expression darkened as she shuddered.Meanwhile, Bart immediately bent the knee on the floor with a loud thud. Then, he said in a bitter vo
Bart was completely stunned. "Sir, that's not what you said earlier! You gave explicit orders that…""What orders?" The voice coming from the other side was grim. "Do you understand what I'm telling you? Do as I tell you right now. Other than letting them know, I don't care whether you must cry or beg; you must gain the Xaviers' forgiveness. "Remember. If you fail, I'll kill all your family! This is not just my personal order but the collective will of the entire Second Caste. You must gain their forgiveness even if you were to sacrifice your own life!"After Mr. Garcia roared back at Bart, he angrily hung up. Obviously, there was pent-up anger in him, making him very furious and agitated. Unfortunately, it seemed that he could not resist it. That was why, even if he did not want to, all he could do was follow Mr. Garcia's orders.What happened?Bart, Zoe, and the others could not react as their eyes were fixed on the phone on the table. Their expressions were completely frozen.
"Tsk. Didn't you say you just gave a call to the Empire? That's our suzerain! If there's really someone on top of the pyramid speaking on your behalf, we all had to obey!" Bart said, his words were spiteful once more."Maybe you should give her a call again? Tell her that the Second Caste is very scared, waiting for her to come and punish us. Or maybe, your phone is out of credit? Do you need more money to pay for your credits?" Bart then pulled out a 20-dollar bill and threw it at Harvey. What Bart just did made all the people from Country I laugh even more arrogantly.Zoe could not be bothered to waste her time anymore. Instead, she extended her foot before Harvey, signaling Harvey to kneel and lick the sole of her heel quickly. Otherwise, someone from the Xaviers would have to die again if time was up.Buzz…As the mockery climaxed, Bart's phone started to vibrate. Everyone instantly looked at him. Bart was also stunned and glanced at the screen of his phone. Then, he gave Harve
"What? Don't tell me the Victoria you called just now was actually Princess Victoria from the Empire? I suppose you must have gotten what you wanted if you could talk to her directly. I wonder what kind of orders she gave us? Did she tell us to be on our knees right now or tomorrow?" A smirk appeared on Zoe's face the moment Harvey hung up. She looked at Harvey as if she was looking at a clown running a circus."Oh, right, I need to remind you. In one hour, we will kill another member of the Xavier family. If she only contacts us after a long time, then the Xaviers will all die," said Zoe as she folded her arms in front of her chest and slowly approached Harvey. Then, she leaned closer to Harvey and said, "And here I'm looking forward to falling on my knees and calling you Daddy. So please, you better give me this chance."At this time, Zoe acted so seductively. If it were not because everyone here knew that Zoe and Harvey were enemies, some might even think that Harvey and Zoe might
"Seems like you didn't change at all, Maiden. You still wouldn't give up until your final moments," Harvey stepped forward and glanced at Zoe. She might look stern on the outside, but she was already shaken inside."You know full well that if I could give you the money all this time, it would mean that I have the evidence. Maybe the Second Caste didn't care about the betrayal and continued to use you because you have some value. But the moment I show all this evidence on the internet, a sinner like you will make everyone remember everything."Perhaps the First Caste, who is at a disadvantage right now, could use this as an initiative and retaliate. That's why if I were you, I would immediately turn tail and leave, then think of a way to convince the Second Caste to stop instead of wasting your breath here."Zoe smiled coldly. "You can stop threatening me now, Harvey. I confessed everything to my higher-ups a long time ago. So what if you can reveal all the evidence you have? It mean
Bart coughed out a mouthful of blood after being slapped. Even a few teeth were in the blood as he looked completely out of his element. He wanted to stand up and fight against Harvey until the end, but he finally discovered that his arrogance and power meant nothing before Harvey."Harvey! You've crossed a line!" Zoe finally could not sit still and threw the cup she held onto the floor. Then, she pointed his finger at Harvey and yelled, "Do you even know what you're doing? Don't you know we have hundreds of hostages? Do you think we're still fighting in an arena in Flutwell?"So what if you can fight? So what if you're the representative? The Second Caste succeeded in a military coup! We have millions of soldiers and countless weapons! No matter how powerful you are, do you think they're more powerful than modern firearms? Regardless of your influence, do you think it's enough to suppress a country? No matter how rich you are, can you buy the entire Country I?"I'm warning you now,
