“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
“Harley, you…”Westin didn’t expect his own sister to jump ship as well. He was completely infuriated to the point where he was about to cough up blood. He couldn’t even say a single word.“Smart. Real smart…”Ronnie burst out laughing.“Not only is your sister real pretty, she’s smart too…”“How about this? You should come with me!”Harley’s eyes lit up.“Thank you for the opportunity! It’s my honor!”Naturally, Harley knew that Deepsky Corporation was on the verge of bankruptcy. If she didn’t find someone to cling to soon enough, she’d have no way to enjoy the rest of her life in glory and riches anymore.After seeing the horrible look on Westin’s face, Ronnie burst out laughing and put his hands around the two women.“Come on! If you two make me happy, I’ll make you two my goddaughters!”“You two get a hundred and fifty thousand dollars every single month!”“Now, start calling me Daddy!”“Daddy…” Harley and Henley said shyly.Harley already knew just how powerful Ronni
Henley and Harley glanced over, then saw Harvey with a knife.“Harvey…”The two froze instantly.Westin recognized that face as well.He couldn’t accept the fact that he bumped into Harvey during the most humiliating moment of his life. He wanted to hit his head against a wall so badly.The two women who were about to leave tugged on Ronnie’s arms before pointing at Harvey and whispering quietly into his ears.Ronnie brought his people closer with playful looks on their faces.Westin was scared witless. He thought the crowd was after him again, and he quickly stumbled out of the place.He was completely infuriated, but he knew full well he was no match against Ronnie.He’d suffer a horrible death if he stayed any longer.Bam!Right as Harvey was preparing to cut his steak, Ronnie immediately kicked a chair straight at him.Harvey stepped back, evading the chair with ease.A loud bang could be heard as the chair slammed into the table.It was a complete mess. The entire me
