Suddenly, a strong gust of wind blew in the hall.The entire place immediately felt colder.Many shivered in fear, and looked at Waylon.‘As expected from a geomancy expert!’Harvey remained calm, crossing his arms in a relaxed way despite being the target of the evil curse. “Interesting,” he said curiously, taking a step closer to Waylon. “Techniques from Country H, the Island Nations, and the South Sea. I didn’t think you’d be able to combine all of these so flawlessly.”“Though, you’re going a little too overboard.”“Not only are you trying to take my life, but you’re also trying to bind my heavenly soul to serve you for all eternity.”“Huh?”The people around were confused to hear Harvey’s words.None of them had experienced such a thing, but there had been few TV series that would talk about it.Such techniques were utterly heinous…And yet, Waylon used it all on a young man.“He’s ruthless!”“He’s actually trying to kill Master York!”“Master York’s an impressiv
Everyone was tense; they were sure Harvey would really die if this went on.Waylon chuckled coldly when he saw Harvey crossing his arms, looking calm.“Aren’t you going to find a solution to this?”“Once the evil energy gets in your body, even I won’t be able to save you!”Harvey smiled, still calm. He looked at the evil energy around him curiously, like it was a toy.“Do something, Master York!’Castiel panicked when he saw Harvey not doing anything. “This looks insane! If you can’t do anything about it, then just surrender!”“It’s not embarrassing at all!”It didn’t matter if Harvey lost; it didn’t matter if Fortune Hall was gone, either…Castiel was simply worried about his master!If Harvey died here, he wouldn’t know how to break the news!“Do something, Master York! Now’s not the time to show off!”“Yeah! You’ll win if you can break the curse!”“Stop pretending!”The customers had already acknowledged Harvey’s admirable character. They were all worried sick for hi
“Let me tell you something, Harvey! Even if you go easy on me, I won’t do the same for you!”“Your tricks won’t work on me!”Waylon waved his hand and walked to the table, ready to make a talisman for his curse removal.“Is that so? I’d like to see if your curse would work first, or if my fake kindness will get to you before that.”The evil energy had surrounded Harvey completely, but he didn’t seem affected by it at all.“Did you go easy on this b*stard, Master?” the middle-aged man asked, puzzled.“Even if he isn’t dead, he should be suffering by now!”“How is he still standing?”The man glanced at Waylon’s voodoo doll, then approached it.As soon as he touched the doll, he immediately fell to the ground and shivered. White foam leaked out of his mouth, and he wailed in immense pain.It was frightening. The middle-aged man was clearly experienced, but he was already in a sorry state as soon as he touched the doll.This was enough to prove just how ruthless Waylon’s method
“I…”Waylon choked; he knew Harvey was right.Harvey was already done with his curse removal. Waylon was already at a disadvantage.He stood up, gritting his teeth. He desperately held his body up while glaring at Harvey.“You were lucky you could remove my curse!”“But what’s with yours?”“I’ve already identified your curse! Why can’t I remove it?”“Your talisman could remove the curse I drew,” Harvey explained. “But you missed an important point: your curse and mine are very similar.”“While you deal with all those weird curses, there will be remnants. These remnants will form a Sickness Talisman.”“It won’t kill you, but with your skill, you won’t be able to deal with it.”Harvey looked at Waylon, whose eyes were twitching and expression was horrible.“Stop struggling. Give up already,” Harvey said, amused. “I see! I see now!”Waylon revealed a look of realization after thinking about the situation for a moment.He didn’t anticipate Harvey to set up another trap for
‘Impressive!’‘This is just impressive!’‘I’ve never seen a geomancy expert do that!’Many admiring gazes fell on Harvey. “Master York! That’s insane!”Castiel didn’t even know what to say.“Master York! Master York!” the crowd cheered, excited.The entire hall was shaking furiously.Harvey wiped his fingers with some tissues, then glanced at Castiel.“Get ready to close the shop and tear the sign down.”“Alrighty!”Castiel hopped outside happily, ready to tear down Volton Hall’s sign.Bam!At that very moment, the crowd split apart. A group of people in uniforms strode in.The leader immediately kicked Castiel to the ground.“Who gave you the courage to tear my father’s shop down?”It was a woman with short hair.She looked to be in her thirties. She had a graceful figure, and her uniform gave her an alluring charm.Her femininity aside, she exuded the aura of a proud elite. Many people were following her. Every single one of them bore fierce and prideful expressi
“Geomancy arts are the historical treasures of the country for over five thousand years!”“It’s used to help the people!”“Not to fight!”“Challenging people in this line of work is strictly prohibited!”“Which geomancy shop are you from, young man? State your name!”“I’ll use the law to punish you! I’ll have your shop closed immediately!”“You’re clearly unfit to be a geomancy expert for doing something so reckless!”“If I don’t teach you a lesson right now, you might hurt a lot more people the next day!”Amaia looked as if she was serving justice.She was showing a righteous expression, as if she was in the right.She was convinced everyone had no choice but to obey her—as if she was the queen of the world.Her companions glared at Harvey after hearing her words. Someone even called for more backup to close the Fortune Hall.Harvey smiled calmly.“What’s this? Are you telling me you’re just as shameless as your father?” he taunted. “Who are you calling shameless, you b
Amaia laughed.“Listen closely!”“I’m the captain of the housing department!”“I’m in charge of geomancy shops like yours!”“Are you ready to give up now?”“Why would he?” A calm voice rang from behind. “From now on, you are relieved from your position.”Waylon’s face darkened instantly when he heard those words.“Which one of you b*stards said that?” he yelled. “I’ll rip your mouth off!”“Me, Watson Braff,” Watson said. “Come at me!”‘Watson Braff?!’Amaia’s eyes twitched.She and the others quickly turned around and looked at the entrance.A few people were walking inside, led by a person in a wheelchair.He was a dignified man, though he looked a bit pale. ‘Watson Braff?’‘The director of the housing department?’Amaia was scared witless. She quickly ran toward Watson Braff. “Director Braff!”Slap!Watson didn’t hesitate to slap her immediately.“You were about to rip my mouth off, right?”“Come on, then!”“Now’s your chance!”Amaia’s eyes and mouth were t
“You seem well, but you should be resting at home right now. What brings you here?”Watson Braff showed a stern expression.“There’s no choice. Work’s been busy lately. I have to return to my post soon.“Before that, I wanted to thank you in person. After all, you did save me twice.”Harvey York smiled.“It’s all merely a coincidence. Don’t think about it too much.”Amaia Sacket could not help but tremble on the ground after hearing those words. She was filled with nothing but despair.After recalling her harsh words to Harvey, she wanted to slam her head on the ground so badly.“Right. I heard that you also did my brother a huge favor.”Watson remembered something.Harvey let out a chuckle.“Tell him that he’s being unprofessional. After all, that was supposed to be our little secret.”“Alright, alright.”Harvey talked to Watson about Soren Braff, as if they had some sort of secret…Amaia was completely stupefied after hearing the conversation.‘Why is this b*stard acti
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
