“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
Not only was Harvey completely void of terror, but he was even showing a pitying expression.Seeing that, Jinny approached him fiercely.“You’re a prisoner here, you b*stard! What’s the point of showing off now?”Raven chuckled coldly.“Are you saying that we took a shortcut?”“You’re the one who did just that!”The beautiful women laughed their stomachs off after hearing Raven’s words.After all, Harvey was still acting so arrogantly despite him already being a prisoner.They thought that the live-in son-in-law was simply ignorant.They started waving their phones around, waiting for the moment Harvey finally kneeled.“I’m getting a little annoyed by you right now, kid!”Jinny marched toward Harvey with a mocking expression.“Grovel for mercy, and I’ll plead to Head Marlon for your life!”“Maybe we’ll let you have seconds after we get a piece of Mandy!”Naturally, Jinny wanted to reclaim the pride he lost at the hospital before.“Move!”Harvey immediately sent Jinny fl
Everyone there trembled the moment they heard that. Panic colored their faces. Harvey looked calmly at Jinny and the others.“Looks like your time’s up.”All the beautiful women looked at Harvey in shock.They didn’t expect Harvey to be this accurate.The entire villa was now in complete chaos. Every single door was blasted open by explosives.The place was quickly surrounded—nobody had the chance to run away.Anthony, who had been acting all high and mighty moments ago, was frozen stiff.“How did the police get here?”“Who gave them the courage?”“Don’t they know whose turf this is?”“Do they want their jobs taken away from them?”Raven instinctively tried to call for help, but she quickly realized that the signal was cut off.“So what if the SWAT team’s here? Someone even said he was the director of the police station before!”“Do they think I’m easy to fool?”Jinny soon came to his senses. He was furious.“Don’t be scared, brothers! We’ll go out together!”Naturall
Raven and Anthony didn’t understand why someone like Harvey would be friends with Soren.He was from the Braff family, after all!More importantly, with Soren’s identity, why would he mobilize the SWAT team just for an ordinary man?‘Who is this guy?’Raven and Anthony’s faces darkened instantly.They realized that they were done for.The beautiful women were starting to panic as well. After seeing Harvey’s gaze, the disdain on their faces immediately turned into fear.He was clearly no ordinary man if the director of the Golden Sands Police Station would show up himself to save him.Bam!Soren swung his leg forward, breaking both of Jinny’s legs without hesitation.The sight immediately made Anthony pass out. Raven and the beautiful women’s faces lost color after seeing what happened.“Take them all back for questioning.”“Arrest or kill them as planned.”Soren looked at them with a cold glare. “The government has already given us orders to prevent organizations like th
Harvey smiled.“Just pretend I don’t exist at all.”Harvey then asked Soren to take him home.While on the road, Harvey frowned.“Right. I haven’t seen Marlon yet, though. How are we going to deal with him?”He had never met Marlon before; judging from the villa’s situation and Jinny’s way of doing things, though, it was clear that Marlon was a lawless outlaw. People like him weren’t easy to deal with at all.Mandy would be in deep trouble if Marlon was kept alive.“We’ll definitely go after him sooner or later.”Soren revealed a gloomy expression.“That said, I don’t have enough evidence to make sure he doesn’t come back out.”“He’ll only be locked for a few years.”“Since he rarely gets himself involved in all the heinous crimes he’s been working on in secret, he has connections from this city all the way to Wolsing.”“These people won’t be able to stop him from being charged, but they’ll definitely do everything in their power to keep him alive.”“That said, I’ll do my
In the middle of the night, a grim look settled on Marlon’s face.After a long while, he finally took a deep breath.“We’re going to Wolsing!”He believed he would rise to power again even if he left Golden Sands.The driver and bodyguards froze. Immediately after, the car turned into another direction.Marlon knew the police were stationed at airports and train stations just to wait for him.He wasn’t even planning on going via the highway. He decided that open roads were the safest option.Vroom!When the car arrived at the edge of Indigo Mountain, two cars crashed into each other, blocking the road out of the Golden Sands.A man and a woman were arguing about who should take responsibility for the accident.Since they didn’t move the cars away, the only way out of the city was blocked off.Marlon’s driver had no choice but to stop the car and wait.Marlon was panicking; he couldn’t wait any longer. He knew he’d be in deep trouble if the police were called here.Marlon d
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
