Harley and Henley glanced at each other, shocked. A second later, a look of realization dawned on their faces. ‘No wonder Ronnie was at a disadvantage!’‘That b*stard snuck up on him!’‘That’s just shameless!’‘He’s a man, yet he’s doing something this underhanded?’‘He’s embarrassing all the men in the world!’Slap!Harvey wasted no time swinging his palm forward once more.Ronnie had no time to dodge; his body was sent flying again the moment he got off the ground.He slammed right into a table again.The whole scene was a complete mess.“I snuck up on you?”Harvey gave Ronnie another slap.“Do you honestly think you have the right to have me act like that?”“You’re just useless scum.”Ronnie desperately tried to dodge the slaps, but to no avail.He was sent flying once again.He tried getting up right after, but was immediately met by another slap on the face.Slap, slap, slap!A string of slaps could be heard, and then, Ronnie rolled weakly on the ground. His en
People like Ronnie couldn’t care about fairness; all Ronnie wanted was to win with overwhelming force.After all, he had both the background and the status to show off.This gave him the illusion that he was the most powerful figure among Golden Sands’ younger generation.He was convinced he’d be able to go against all the powerful families in just a decade.This was why he looked down on people like Saul and Kellan.Even the outstanding figures from the Hermit Families couldn’t enter his eyes. He didn’t find them worthy enough to compete against him.As for the leaders of the powerful families, Ronnie had only fear and respect for them, and nothing more.Such arrogance was why he thought he could crush Harvey like a useless worm.He believed he could achieve that without any effort.And yet… What happened?He was the one getting beaten up!In his eyes, the useless scum that was Harvey was looking down on him completely!The simple slaps were enough to make Ronnie question
“Kill you?”Harvey smiled.“You must be joking.”“I’m a good citizen. By now, I have quite a few awards from many cities!”“I wouldn’t do anything illegal.”“I can’t possibly kill you in front of everyone!”“This is a lawful society. I won’t allow myself to do such a thing,” Harvey went on casually.“I’m only here to stand up for my wife.”“You won’t be able to get away from your crimes that easily.”“You got someone to drug her, causing her to be hospitalized for so long.”“It isn’t wrong for me to break both your arms for that, is it?”After hearing Harvey’s words, Ronnie’s face was mixed with fear and anger.He kept trying to pull his hand away from Harvey’s foot, but he couldn’t do it no matter how much he struggled.“Enough, Harvey!”Harley couldn’t bear to watch any longer.She betrayed her own brother just to cling to Ronnie.She couldn’t watch as the person he relied on got his arms broken in front of her.It would make her look like a bad judge of character.
Harley looked smug and righteous as she crossed her arms. “Don’t be mistaken, Harvey!”She looked as if she had regained her courage.“That’s right! Money and power mean everything in this day and age!”“No matter how good you are at fighting, you’re still just a clown!”“You’re destined to be crushed!”A wealthy lady there finally found her spirit back, looking righteous.The people around raised their heads after hearing Harley’s words.Their wealth, background, authority, and support were beyond Harvey’s comprehension.Why should they be scared of him?Harvey couldn’t simply kill every single one of them! He’d be locked behind bars!He’d drag his family down before suffering a horrible death!“So what if you’re a King of Arms?”“Unless you’re a God of War, you can’t even beat these guns!”“There’s simply no way!”Everyone finally came to their senses.They had been blinded by Harvey’s strength for a moment.In reality, authority meant everything in this day and a
The frightened customers in the restaurant quickly moved away.The staff went stiff, not even daring to take a single breath.Naturally, they all recognized the man.The man leading the group was none other than Raylan Lee, chairman of Blazer Estate.As soon as he showed up, Kellan, who was having his tea on the first floor, quickly sent a text through his phone.Bam!There was a loud bang, and Raylan’s men immediately swarmed the second floor.They looked fierce and vicious.Raylan crossed his arms, his eyes behind his golden-rimmed glasses icy.When he walked toward the room, it was with the air of one who controlled everyone’s lives.Raylan was convinced he stood over everyone. When Ronnie saw Raylan, excitement colored his face. He was lying on the ground helplessly, his hands completely broken.“Father…”Life was like a competition of family backgrounds.It was already good enough that Ronnie wasn’t wailing for his father’s help.Seeing his own son in that sorry st
“Do you know what you’re doing here?”“Do you have an idea of the consequences you’ll bear for this?”“You’ll be in a lot of trouble if you keep going!”Raylan couldn’t be bothered to ask about Harvey and Ronnie’s personal conflicts.He knew just how much of a scumbag his own son was.If he got his men to pull out their guns while Harvey was stepping on Ronnie, Ronnie would be hurt in the crossfire.If that wasn’t the case, Harvey would’ve been dead already.“Is that so?”“Trouble, you say?”Harvey smiled faintly. “What kind of trouble would I get myself into, I wonder?”“Rather than that, don’t you want to know the kind of trouble your own son got himself into?”Raylan’s gaze grew sharper when Harvey provoked him.He sized up Harvey for a long time, then he spoke up again.“You hurt my son in front of everyone, breaking the law. You’re a bad influence!”“You’ll be locked behind bars for this!”“You’ll get executed!”Naturally, he wasn’t able to use force since his so
Captain Santiago glanced at Harvey—now, there was fear in his eyes. The director’s office called and said only one thing—Harvey was good friends with Soren.‘The first-in-command’s friend?’Captain Santiago wouldn’t dare go against someone like that, even if he did have all the courage in the world.Raylan’s face twisted into a horrible expression after hearing Captain Santiago’s words.“What did you say?”“You can’t do this?”“You’re the enforcer of the law! What do you mean, you can’t do this?”“If you don’t take down a criminal like him, us good citizens won’t even bother contributing to the city anymore!”However, Captain Santiago shook his head apologetically before leaving with his subordinates as quickly as he could.That left Raylan seething with rage. Right as Raylan was about to speak, Harvey immediately cut him off.“Who told you to leave?” Harvey said to Captain Santiago.Captain Santiago’s eyes twitched frantically. Then, he glared at Harvey.“What do you w
Men in suits stepped forward, armed with guns and steel pipes, about to attack.But right at that moment, Raylan’s phone suddenly rang.He didn’t want to pick up at first, but he had no choice after seeing the name on the screen.His eyes twitched frantically, and a horrible look settled on his face.When he finished the call, he took a deep breath and glared resentfully at Harvey.“It’s a misunderstanding.”“Just a mistake!”Harley, Henley, and the others’ hearts skipped a beat; they had a bad feeling about the situation.Captain Santiago made the same face just before.Ronnie was filled with disbelief.“Father, what…?”Several men in suits gritted their teeth.“Just say the word, and we’ll take him out!” they said to Raylan. “We’ll just have to run after that!”Naturally, they knew Harvey was no ordinary man.If not, Raylan wouldn’t even make that expression in the first place.That said, the men would sacrifice themselves for the sake of their boss.Raylan clenched
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,
Argh!Bart screamed as he pulled out his dagger from its sheath, wanting to stab Harvey in the gut. However, Harvey would never give him that chance. He spun and kicked Bart in the head.Bart's figure shuddered before being thrown away and slammed into a marble pillar with a bang. The sound of a crack followed, and the marble pillar instantly formed cracks that looked like spider webs as Bart fell to the ground.Bart was emotionally shaken. He wanted to stand up, but he had only crawled up halfway. His legs gave way, and he crawled on the floor again.He was crippled?With just one hit, he was already crippled? Just what kind of a monster was Harvey? The elites from the Second Caste looked at Harvey with mouths agape. They were prideful of their strengths, and many had trained in the Three Great Temples. They all believed they were better than everyone else. Especially Bart, who was one of the prodigies of the Celestial Temple.But when Bart encountered Harvey, he could not even
Bart looked arrogant. The Second Caste had the entire Country I under control and had about a hundred hostages from the Xavier family. How was the pretty boy going to deal with him this way?It must be a joke!"Do something to you?" Harvey turned around and approached Bart. Before Bart could even react, Harvey already lightly patted his face."I'm the one who defeated your squad of so-called prodigies. I was also the one who kicked Julio out of Flutwell. The famous people in Country I are nothing to me. Do you think dealing with garbage like you is challenging for me? Ridiculous."Then, Harvey pulled out a paper towel and wiped his palm in disdain."You bastard…" Bart was instantly infuriated when he finally realized that he had just been slapped in the face by Harvey. He wanted to get the gun on the table to gun Harvey down when he suddenly remembered something. His expression darkened as he narrowed his eyes and glared at Harvey coldly."You're the representative of Country H M
"Watch your mouth, Bart!" warned Yvonne. "Do you really think you've already won? Do you really think no one can do anything about you?"Bart laughed arrogantly and puffed out a ring of smoke. "We are the Second Caste. We are now the rulers of Country I. We have armies amounting to millions and countless assets. Do something about us? I don't believe someone like that even exists. Maybe you can try to do something for me instead? I swear I'll kneel before you!"Bart snickered after he said that. Any man knew what he was talking about.Clap! Clap!At this time, the sound of someone clapping could be heard."I see… I didn't expect the Second Caste from Country I would be so powerful. But I'm not someone who believes in the word impossible… Maybe I can do something to you instead?" Harvey's indifferent voice echoed in the hall as he slowly walked inside, clapping his hands.Zoe's expression froze when she heard that voice. When she saw who was talking, she could not help but shudder
"I don't know whether you're cowards, but all I need to do is send word to Sword Camp about how you disrespect the Chief Instructor. Even if the Chief Instructor isn't here, Ethan from Sword Camp will teach you a lesson!" warned Yvonne coldly."You're using Ethan to scare me?" Bart blurted out a laugh. "Do you think I didn't know Ethan had just been issued a restraining order? Without the Ministry of Defense's orders, he wouldn't dare make a move on us. It's just business… But will your ministry allow it to become an all-out war? How ridiculous! If you're that good, you can kill me here. That way, I'll acknowledge you're at least respectable! What's the point of wasting your breath with me here!"Then, Bart took out a pistol and immediately threw it before Yvonne with an arrogant expression. Yvonne's expression turned dark. It was obvious that she did not expect Bart to be so mad."What? You don't know how to use a gun? Come here, I'll teach you how. All you need to do is to turn th
