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
Soren Braff glanced at Harvey York’s phone and saw Thomas Burton’s name on the screen.Soren did not pick up at first, but the phone rang several times.After remembering that Thomas was Harvey’s driver, Soren finally picked up the phone since he was worried that something might have happened.“Hello, Thomas. Master York’s in the restroom…”“This is bad! Those b*stards are in the hospital right now!Thomas did not even check who was the person on the other side of the call. Screams of utter chaos were constantly heard from the phone.“They said that they want you and your wife alive! They want you two to end up with a fate worse than death!“Get your wife out of here, Sir York!”‘They want them alive?‘A fate worse than death?Soren’s professional instincts made him jump up immediately.“Where are you?”“We’re still in front of the intensive care unit upstairs! They took Maya away, but…”Pfft!Sounds of a person coughing up blood were heard before a string of wretched lau
“Where’s Harvey York?“Where’s that b*stard hiding?“Get him out of here already!”Jinny’s feminine energy was mixed with the fierce look on his face at this moment.Maya Lee’s face was utterly swollen when she burst into tears. She had never experienced something like this in her entire life.“Stop f*cking crying already! Do you think I’ll treat you nicely just because you’re pretty?“I like strong men!Jinny gave Maya another slap across his face before he disgustedly let go of her.“Get this b*tch out of here. We’re finding Harvey next,” he said with a cold smile.Maya wanted to say that she was not Mandy…But her entire body was trembling out of fear. She could not even utter a single word.Just like a sheep completely surrounded by a pack of wolves, she was helplessly dragged to the elevator without any way of fending herself.The nurses standing not too far away were crying profusely. It was an extremely miserable sight.Thomas Burton gritted his teeth, trying to get
In a short moment, Soren Braff’s head was already covered in blood, and his face completely swollen.He was boiling with anger, but he was immediately pointed at by the firearms around him whenever he tried to retaliate.Thomas Burton kept struggling in the back.“Stop! He’s Director Braff!”“Oh? Is that so?“So what?Jinny smiled nonchalantly.“Not just him; we wouldn’t even care if the first-in-command came here himself!”Bam!Right when Jinny was about to step on Soren’s face, a bench was thrown at him out of the blue.Jinny’s expression changed before bracing both arms in front of him.The bench fell to the ground, but Jinny had to take a few steps back after taking the blow.He gritted his teeth in unbridled rage.“Which one of you did that to me?!”Sounds of slapping could be heard everywhere while Jinny was still completely infuriated.The men who were dragging Maya Lee were all sent flying.Harvey York’s figure could be seen kicking aside the people surrounding
“How dare you look down on Head Marlon like that, you b*stard?!“Do you want to die or something?!”A fierce man was boiling with anger. He could not stand the fact that his boss was getting belittled.He picked up a trash can before throwing it toward Harvey York’s face.Bam!Harvey kicked the trash can back without batting an eye, hitting the man in the head.The man’s head was covered in blood before he completely passed out.Harvey could not be bothered to talk any longer. While everyone was in utter chaos, he stepped forward and sent everyone flying with a single slap each.In just under a minute, the fierce men were all twitching on the ground nonstop.A simple movement was enough to show just how powerful Harvey actually was.“B*stard!”After seeing Harvey slapped his men aside, Jinny was filled with rage and fear.He could not believe that someone this impressive was in Golden Sands.After realizing Harvey was an expert martial artist, Jinny quickly pulled out his
“What? You’re not answering?”“We’ll do it again, then!”Bang!This time, Jinny pulled the trigger on Soren’s left arm.Soren revealed a miserable and enraged expression, but he said nothing and only gritted his teeth.The entire corridor was filled with the smell of blood and gunpowder.“One last chance.”Jinny pointed the barrel at Maya’s head, making her burst in tears again.“Are you coming or not?”“I know you’re good. I know you can fight…”“But no matter how fast you are, how many do you think you can save?”“If you keep resisting, they die!”Naturally, Jinny was experienced with such things.He knew how to deter capable fighters like Harvey.As for morals and justice, none of that mattered to him.All that mattered was taking Harvey down.“You b*stard! If you lay even a finger on him, I’ll make your life a living hell!”“I’ll make you regret coming into this damn world!”“I don’t care who’s supporting you! I’ll f*cking kill every single one of you!”Soren cov
Jinny thought about the situation for a moment before finally deciding not to go against Harvey.“Take him out of here!” he ordered coldly.He planned to take Harvey away before looking for another chance to take Maya later.He already knew what she looked like anyway, so he wasn’t scared of her running away.Harvey was pushed into the trunk of the Toyota Prado, a firearm pointed on his head all the way.The car left the scene soon after.Thomas and Maya had pained expressions.Soren covered his arm and asked a nurse to bandage him. Then, he dialed a number on his phone.“Send word! Get the SWAT team!”…Half an hour later, inside a villa in the city’s suburbs.The classic-looking villa resided beside mountains and rivers.Tall walls surrounded the entire place. Electric wires, spotlights, and patrol officers could be seen everywhere. There were also many wolfhounds on guard.Those who didn’t know would think of the place as some sort of military garrison.In actuality, t
“You didn’t think we’d meet again so soon, huh?” Anthony burst out laughing as he held his head still.“Just like I said! You can’t afford to go against me!”“Not just now…”“You’d have no right to oppose me even after ten lifetimes!”“You’ve been acting tough back in the Royal Clubhouse! Why are you being so timid now?”Raven slowly dragged herself in front of Harvey and tapped his face a few times.“You damn b*stard! Do you think you’re impressive just because you can beat a few people at once?”“Let me tell you something!”“The waters here run deep!”“In Golden Sands…”“You have no choice…”“But to kneel!”“Besides, you’re just an ignorant young man! What right do you have to show off here?”“I’ll do it myself!”“You smashed my head with a wine bottle!”“I’ll break all ten of your fingers myself!”Raven took a drag of her cigarette and blew out a puff of smoke.“Trust me! I’ll make you feel real good!”A twisted chuckle escaped her mouth after she said those word
Daichi smiled faintly and said, "I know very well that in the eyes of people like you, Islanders like us are detestable. Speaking with us, working with us, and even eating a meal with us is quite disgusting, right?"However, we must all learn to be patient. It has already happened for quite some time. Is there a point in rushing through these few minutes? It's better for us to share a good meal and have a chat afterward."Daichi slowly partook in the meal, putting a piece of fish into his mouth and chewing slowly. At the same time, he narrowed his eyes as he looked at Harvey, his eyes filled with subtle amusement.Daichi found the meal before him quite enjoyable. He also found himself quite satisfied looking at Harvey showing a hint of irritation."Looks like you really think that you have me under control," Harvey said coldly. "But I can tell you that by just sitting here, my patience is already at its limit. I have a habit, too. Rather than being threatened by someone, I prefer t
Harvey looked at Daichi coldly. "I don't think there's anything between you and me that we need to talk about."However, Daichi said passionately, "But I believe we do. This is not a place for us to speak of such things, though. I have prepared a table for us at the best restaurant serving Island Nation cuisine in Grand City. I invite you to dine with us. How does that sound?"Not only can we talk about what's happening at the Island Nation, Sky Plane's scenery, the Seven Families of Grand City…as well as what's currently going on with Ms. Mandy of the Jeans of Mordu!"Clack!Harvey immediately grabbed Daichi by the throat. "I dare you to say it one more time. Are you threatening me?"Daichi smiled faintly. "Threaten? You must be joking! Someone like me doesn't threaten anyone. However, Sky Plane does have a deal with the Jeans of Mordu. They will be sending out a representative, who turns out to be Ms. Mandy."However, Ms. Mandy doesn't know much about the situation in Sky Plane
Hearing the conversation between Harvey and Clarion, Hale wasn't sure what to say. He let out a long sigh and said, "Thank you, Mr. Harvey, Mr. Clarion. I won't waste my breath, then. Since you're willing to protect a cripple like me, I'll be in your care from now on."He took out a paper and pen from the bedside table and quickly drew a picture, then put it in front of him. "Mr. Harvey, this is the real location of the Chapter of Ascension. I know you're sincere in helping me. I can't repay you, so I can only offer you this. Please don't refuse it. This thing will only get me killed if I have it with me."However, if it's with you, you should be able to put it to good use. Consider it my goodwill. I… I hope you can accept this and give me a chance to repay your kindness."Hale then made a gesture and swore, "I swear, this is the real location where the Chapter of Ascension is hidden. This is not a death trap. Please trust me. Other than the Chapter of Ascension, there's also some
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
