Half an hour later. Inside Golden Sands’ top hospital.Toyota Prados of the same color charged right toward the entrance.Soon after, dozens of rogueish men walked out of the cars.They were all dressed in black suits with various hairstyles and colors.They exuded a domineering aura.The security guards instinctively moved away after seeing them.Beautiful nurses around the place stepped back with their mouths covered, afraid those people would approach them.A man with a leopard tattoo on his face alighted from the furthest car in the back.He showed a cold glare and a fierce expression, as if looks could actually kill.His incomparable dominance was also deliberately showing through his aura.He casually held a cigar and lit it up, completely ignoring the no-smoking sign while strutting inside.He blew puffs of smoke and catcalled the beautiful staff, like he was just enjoying the scenery.His face immediately darkened when he arrived in front of the intensive care unit.
After all, Raven Keaton would not get the chance to survive in Golden Sands if Harvey York was left alive.“Not bad. You did well,” replied Marlon Lee.“Where is he?”“In Oak Crest Hospital!” exclaimed Raven.“He must’ve taken that b*tch there to purge her stomach.”Marlon nodded before snapping his fingers.“Jinny.”An androgynous man with a tattooed face walked up with a bright smile.“Do you want me to look for that fool, Boss?“I’ll take him out for Anthony!”“Take him out?Marlon let out a chuckle.“Don’t make it any easier for him.“Bring him back here. I’ll teach him a good lesson. I’ll show him who he can and cannot go against in a place like Golden Sands.”***At eight o’clock in the evening, Harvey admitted Mandy Zimmer into the emergency room.She needed her stomach to be purged from the drugs and alcohol.It was good that Mandy did not drink that much. All she needed was to be put on an IV drip since she was a little dehydrated.Harvey asked for three sick
“Hurry! We need a blood transfusion!”“We need to wake him up!”“This is bad! His heart stopped! We need to do manual resuscitation!”The sounds of medical staff constantly echoed. The atmosphere of the entire main hall tensed up immediately.Inspectors stepped out of the ambulance, ready to clear out the place.“B*stard! Goddamnit!”Soren Braff completely lost his cool when he kept screaming, as if to vent his resentment and rage.“What’s going on, Director Braff?“What happened here?Harvey York walked up to Soren with a confused look.“How did this happen to Watson…?”“Harvey? Master York?Soren was just about to tell someone to chase Harvey off when he saw his face. His entire body trembled before showing a hopeful look on his face.“Save my brother, Master York! You’re definitely able to! Please!”Harvey frowned.“At least tell me what actually happened! I can’t do anything if you don’t!”Soren gritted his teeth with a twisted expression before heaving a huge sigh.
The first aid tent was opened as the alarms went off.A doctor with a dozen medical staff walked out with their hands in front.Their faces were covered with face masks and goggles when they lightly bowed.“I’m sorry, Director Braff. We did our very best.“You need to prepare yourself.”The doctor did not know what to feel at that moment.She knew who Soren Braff was. That was why she knew that she would have the chance to be in the Braff family’s good graces. Her reputation would definitely skyrocket after that as well.The hospital would even compliment her and give her a promotion.But since she had no means of saving Watson, these things would naturally have nothing to do with her.“No! My brother’s not dead! He can’t die! He can’t!Soren gritted his teeth.“You need to go back in there! Do everything you can!“I’ll shut down the damn hospital if you can’t bring him back!”Naturally, Soren could not accept the fact his brother died for him.The doctor sighed.“It’s n
Beep beep beep!Along with Harvey York’s movements, the flatlined heartrate showing on the monitor started responding again.Watson Braff was slowly recovering.But soon after, before the crowd’s gazes, the beating heart rate was gone again.The people who were exhilarated felt lost immediately after.Only Harvey remained calm. He knew that Watson needed time to recover.It was only normal for him to be weakened like this because of blood loss.Harvey started poking at different parts of Watson’s body, enhancing his blood flow.“What is this? You got a response from him, and now you’re just massaging him?The doctor was filled with rage after seeing the sight.On the one hand, she was completely embarrassed by the shock she felt just now. On the other hand, she was enraged that Harvey exposed why she was unwilling to save Watson.“There’s no saving Mr. Braff!“It seemed like he was recovering after you screwed around, but that was just for a brief moment!“What’s the point
Harvey York looked calm while doing his own thing, completely ignoring the doctor.The doctor showed a cold look, thinking that what she said was right.“We have the youngest and most outstanding medical staff here! We’re professionals!“We already announced Mr. Braff’s death! Even God wouldn’t be able to save him!”The beautiful nurses on the side took their masks off while coldly glaring at Harvey, thinking he was just here to cause trouble as he pleased.“People should always remain humble,” replied Harvey.“You can’t do it, but that doesn’t necessarily mean I can’t.“There’s always another person better than you. You should understand that.”“I can’t do it?The doctor immediately lashed out after hearing those words.“Listen to me, kid! I’m not a con man like you!“I’m the top doctor of the Oak Crest Hospital, Maren Failes!“My teacher is none other than Oskar Armstrong himself!“I’ve been in the profession for almost five years! I’m also the newly-appointed vice direc
“You’ve had asthma since high school, right?” Harvey York asked.“You must’ve been practicing Taichi before realizing that!“And ever since then, you’ve abandoned doing sports even!“You claim you’re a professional, yet you can’t deal with that problem yourself? How are you this shameless?”Maren Failes’ prideful expression froze after hearing Harvey expose such a thing about her.“How did you know that?!”Maren looked horrified. She took quite a lot of asthma medication and had a lot of non-invasive surgeries…And yet what happened?Nothing.This was her biggest secret. She would run into the restroom whenever she had an asthma reaction so no one could tell…But she did not expect Harvey to point that out without knowing anything about her.Everyone would start doubting her medical skills now.Harvey did not stop trashing Maren after seeing the shock on her face.“Can’t you see the gap between us?“I can exactly discern your ailment, and you tell me I can’t save Watson B
Soren Braff quickly rushed forward before covering up Watson Braff’s artery with an excited look on his face.“He’s alive! I can’t believe this!”He could not even properly articulate his thoughts at this very moment.Every single apparatus strapped to Watson was rapidly displaying numbers, showing that his vitals were completely normal.Maren Failes and the others were in utter disbelief.‘He’s alive?’‘That’s insane!’‘How…’‘How is this possible?!’Harvey York calmly walked toward Maren before raising her chin.“Make sure you deal with everything else.“Head to Fortune Hall when you’re done.“I’ll be needing a few hands there, after all.”***An hour later, Harvey sat on the chair at the hospital’s entrance with his eyes closed.It was not hard to bring Watson back, but it demanded a lot of energy from him to accomplish such a feat.After all, he was using techniques that he gathered from the battlefield.He was just waiting for the news, hoping that Watson could be
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
