Harvey York tapped his head. He had already forgotten about the entire thing.As soon as the garden was done, Ostrane Bay’s title of having the best villas in Golden Sands would be immediately replaced after the land’s specialty was revealed.“Oh! I almost forgot why I called!Saul Robbins showed a faint smile.“Sir York! I called you today because a friend of mine’s in a great deal of trouble!“His mother had a case of food poisoning! She’s in a bad state right now!“All of the well-known doctors in the city tried to help, but to no avail!“I’d like you to try since you managed to save Chana Jackson in the first place…”Harvey suddenly froze.“Grandma Bolton?”“Impressive, Harvey!” Saul exclaimed.“That’s right! Azrael Bolton’s asking for a doctor all around the city! He’s also using his connections to seek out Senior Armstrong!“But since he’s in Wolsing, it’ll be hard for Azrael to find the man!“That’s why I’d like you to help.Harvey was a little surprised. He did no
Harvey York frowned.“It’s that bad?”Grandma Bolton only got food poisoning, so Harvey did not think it would be this hard to handle.Saul Robbins frowned.“It does seem that way at first glance, but it’s not the same.“Many experts did their best to look into her condition but found nothing.“Right. The police and the Food and Drug Administration had already interrogated the suspect, but she said that she got her goods from a distributor for cheap. The actual owner still hasn’t been found yet.“When the reports come out, Grandma Bolton will probably die already!”Harvey slightly changed his expression after hearing those words. He could not imagine how Lilian suffered during the interrogation.He never liked Lilian but did not want anything to happen to her for Mandy Zimmer’s sake.“Tell Soren Braff to treat the suspect better.“Don’t let her suffer too much.“I’ll do my best to help Grandma Bolton too.”Saul froze.“Is the suspect related to you?”“She’s my ex-mother-
That said, even the strongest man in the entirety of Golden Sands also seemed gloomy. He looked as if he was on the verge of losing control at this moment.“Filth!“Every single one of you!Azrael Bolton screamed at the doctor while pointing at him.“All she did was consume a counterfeit product! You told me that washing her stomach would help!“And then you tell me that she needed the antivenom!“And now you tell me that there’s something highly toxic in the product?!“You even sampled some of her stomach tissue and still can’t find anything!“My mother’s condition’s getting worse! When are you planning to tell me she’s in a dire situation?!“Talk!“Is there something wrong with your medical skills, or are you people useless filth in the first place?!“You act all high and mighty, as if there’s nobody in the world you can’t save!“Every single one of you is worse than the last at such a crucial moment!“I’m giving you one hour!“I want to see results and a treatment plan
“That said…”Before Saul Robbins could even say more, Harvey York had already waved his hand.“I know.“We’ll sit back for now.”“Now’s not the time for idle talk, everyone,” said Lochlan Anderson.“First, let me take a look at Grandma Bolton.”Azrael Bolton quickly nodded.“Right! Right this way!”Lochlan wasted no time bringing a group of assistants into the sick room.Every single corridor was filled with people.Harvey and Saul exerted a lot of effort just to reach the front.Lochlan had already checked for Grandma Bolton’s pulse.He thought he still had a chance to save her, but he was showing a horrible look with a frown.“I’ll be frank with you. I can try saving her…“But there’s less than twenty percent chance of her surviving.”‘Not even twenty percent?’The entire sick room was dead silent.Harvey frowned before he looked inside the sick room.A woman in her nineties was lying on the bed.She wore ordinary clothes then. She was occasionally showing a grimac
“That’s right. Grandma Bolton’s situation is out of the ordinary,” said Lochlan Anderson sternly.“I don’t have time to identify the poison. I have no choice but to pull it all out forcefully.“Her chances of surviving are slim if I do that.“But if I don’t, she’ll only last for the next three hours!“We won’t be able to find anything out with that short time.”Azrael Bolton froze after hearing Lochlan’s words.“Impossible!” he exclaimed while shaking his head with a trembling body.“My mother only has three hours left?!”The air immediately tensed. The medical experts were trembling in their boots, with cold sweat dripping down their foreheads.After all, it was their savior who said those words.They also wanted to ask for Oskar Armstrong’s help…But he would take three hours to travel all the way from Wolsing.It would be too late by then.Even if Oskar were on the line, there would still be no hope for Grandma Bolton.At this moment, the medical experts were trembling
Lochlan’s words were cruel; nobody would be able to accept such harsh facts.Despite that, nobody dared to question him.After all, Grandma Bolton’s life was at stake. Who would dare refute him?“No!”“There has to be some way!”“There has to be!”Azrael gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot.“That suspect must’ve been bribed! She poisoned my mother!”“She knows how to save her!”“Bring her here right now!”“I’ll question her myself!”“If she doesn’t give the antidote, I’ll kill her!”“I’ll kill her entire family, too!”“I’ll dig up her ancestors’ corpses and burn them to a crisp!”If ordinary people said this, people would see it as showing off and nothing more. Even if princes and young masters said such a thing, no one would believe it.But when Azrael said it, it didn’t seem like an empty promise.Many of the prominent figures there were dead silent. They all trembled in their boots, as if they actually saw Azrael’s threats coming true.“You’re an adult, Mr. Bo
Another seemingly reputable doctor looked at Harvey coldly. “Who let him in here? Get him out!”“Security! Where’s security?”Naturally, he thought that Harvey was a patient from the psychiatry department.He was certain Harvey was out of his mind.Azrael came to his senses, and glared coldly at Harvey.‘How dare someone cause trouble right now?’‘Does he want to die?’Saul quickly stepped forward to explain the situation.“Mr. Bolton, I brought him here. His name is Harvey York.”“My wife, Cliff, Director Braff, Mr. Pagan, and Ms. Jackson were all saved by him.”After hearing his words, the crowd felt slightly relieved.Azrael froze. A hopeful look bloomed on his face.“Are you a doctor? Can you save my mother?”Harvey showed a faint smile after making sure of the situation.“I’m not a doctor.”Azrael’s face darkened instantly when he heard that.Before he could retort, Harvey continued.“But I can save your mother.”Azrael’s eyes twitched. He didn’t know what Har
“Of course not. It wouldn’t do anything good,” Harvey replied.“I’ll drag Grandma Bolton’s soul back using geomancy.”“That way, I’ll force her back to life.”“Huh?”“Geomancy?”“Are you serious?”Lochlan looked at him, bewildered.“Are you insane?”“How dare you say something like that here! Do you think Mr. Bolton is crazy enough to let you do anything here?”“I can assure you that he’s just a conman, Mr. Bolton!”“Get him out of here!”“Stop disturbing me from saving the patient!”Azrael’s face darkened; he didn’t think a conman would show up here, of all places.Then he remembered that Saul was the one who brought Harvey here, and he hesitated.Judging from the relationship between the Hermit Families, Saul definitely wouldn’t bring Harvey here if Harvey wasn’t actually capable.Harvey ignored Lochlan’s outburst and looked at Grandma Bolton, his face grim. “If I’m guessing correctly, Mr. Anderson.”“You’re planning to stick three needles in Grandma Bolton’s body.”
Durandal and his men froze when they saw what happened, and their expressions darkened. While that long-haired man was frivolous, he was also a martial arts master.Before they could even react, Harvey had already snapped off the man's finger and fed it to the dog. That action was enough to stop Durandal and the others in their tracks, and even managed to silence the angry crowd.No one expected a man called a pretty face to be so brutal and decisive. At that moment, the men from Parkerville could feel the coldness radiating from Harvey. They couldn't stop the fear spreading in their heart."Darn it! How dare you hurt him?!""Do you have a death wish?""We're going to destroy your underground arena!"Everyone from Parkerville was filled with fury, wanting to retaliate. However, Harvey's calm expression was enough to scare them into silence. Durandal, the only person who knew Harvey's real identity, raised his hand to stop them. Then, he shot Harvey a cold look."What is the
"I believe someone outside the ring informed the young boxer. In short, this is no longer a one-versus-one battle! This is two versus one… No, perhaps even more! This isn't fair!"And then, Durandal raised his arm and shouted, "Tell me, friends! Is it against the rule for someone to use a high-tech method to instruct the young fighter in the middle of the match? Should they pay for all our losses?"While no one knew how Durandal could be so sure there was cheating involved, many saw that there was a chance for them to recover their losses. They knew who to support. All of them stood up and started yelling."Cheating! You're cheating!""Pay us! Pay us back!"Durandal continued to raise his arm. "We've already won this battle! However, the underground boxing ring was unable to accept their loss! Other than making them admit it, shouldn't we ask them to pay three times the money?!"All the spectators were excited and chorused brainlessly, "Three times! Three times!"They didn't car
As the Boxing Champion coughed out a mouthful of blood, it seemed to have caused a chain reaction. The blood vessels in his body began to bulge and explode, and blood began to flow out from his body. It was quite terrifying to watch, but from his bloodshot eyes, he seemed to have recovered some sort of clarity.He glared at the young fighter in front of him and collapsed on the ring, his eyes filled with disbelief."Ha… Didn't even break a sweat." The young fighter raised his hand, disdain on his face. His expression was calm, but everyone could see his arrogance."How is that possible?!" At that moment, there was only silence. No one expected the situation would change so quickly. The Boxing Champion had been defeated so quickly, many weren't sure what had happened. This had surpassed everyone's understanding.No matter if the audience was furious or in disbelief, the Boxing Champion had already fallen and the young fighter stood in the middle of the ring with a calm express
Everyone was still filled with mixed expressions as both sides clashed. To the Boxing Champion, he had already won countless fights. There was no need for him to be afraid of a young man.Meanwhile, the young fighter had great confidence. Nothing could shake him.The moment both sides clashed, dust and dirt burst from the floor. Everyone was shocked by their murderous intent.Their fists met. At that instant, they fought in the most brutal and primal way. They kept crashing into each other as they battled. The muted sounds of their attacks could be heard from outside the ring. The ring, though made of solid wood, began to crack open from the impact of their attacks. Everyone watched with bated breath, excitement etched on their faces. No one expected that the young man who looked like he was going to get beaten down in one punch would have so much endurance.It was way too thrilling! Too exciting!The two moved faster and faster. Very quickly, normal people couldn't even see h
When Harvey heard Mandy's agreement to his plan to close down the place, he immediately snapped his finger. A young man smaller and leaner than the Boxing Champion slowly walked out from the back.He wasn't surrounded by a malevolent aura like the Boxing Champion, and he didn't beat his chest like a drum either. He simply waved his hand around in a dull way, like he was only doing this as part of his job. When the spectators saw this, all of them booed.When some of the spectators who were hoping for a chance to turn their luck around saw this, they couldn't help but start to curse.What was the Ninth Branch doing?Why did they pull out a kid like this?Were they getting him killed?Meanwhile, Durandal and the others all glanced at each other before cackling madly. They were all from the Sacred Training Grounds, so they could see the young man was indeed someone special. But no matter how special he was, the difference in power couldn't be so easily overcome.There was only one
One hour later, Harvey once again appeared at the VIP seats. Durandal and the others had been waiting for them. When they saw Harvey appear, they grinned. "One hour is over, pretty boy. Can we start the battle now? Looking at how confident you are, maybe you should consider fighting yourself. If you're willing, I can tell the Boxing Champion to just use one arm."It was obvious that not only did Durandal want to use this chance to test Harvey's power, but he also wanted to get him killed.Harvey smiled. "There's no need for overwhelming firepower. Even your father couldn't make me fight him, let alone your underling."Durandal's eyes turned incredibly cold when he heard that. Just as the atmosphere in the VIP seats was becoming fired up, the atmosphere around the ring was also becoming more tense.They hadn't even fought yet, but both sides were already staring down at each other apprehensively. It would be quite intense once the fight really began.Very quickly, Durandal took a
Harvey ignored all of them, but simply looked at all the fighters. In the end, Harvey's eyes fell on a young man of about eighteen years old. It was obvious he had just come of age, and he had trained his body well. From his physique, Harvey could tell that his martial arts abilities were quite good too.Harvey could tell immediately that the young man probably had an extraordinary upbringing to have such power at such an age. He might be a core student who came out from a Sacred Training Ground to train.Most importantly, the other fighters either looked at Harvey warily or in envy. Only he looked at Harvey peacefully, as if everyone in this world were ordinary people.Harvey gave Maya a look, and Maya quickly introduced him. "Sir, this is a servant that a member of the Ninth Branch picked up from under the bridge. He's mute, but he's extremely loyal. When we realized he has great talent in martial arts, we decided to turn him into a fighter."Harvey narrowed his eyes. What kind
Maya was slightly stunned. However, she had always been very trusting of Harvey. She didn't say anything and quickly prepared the contract.When Durandal saw what was happening, he smiled coldly and immediately signed his name.Just as Harvey was going to sign his name, Mandy's expression turned dark and said, "Harvey, why don't we bet my hand? This is a Ninth Branch affair. It didn't have much to do with you in the first place."Harvey could sense Mandy cared about him and smiled. "Don't worry, I'll be fine. Not to mention, certain things are unavoidable. You and the Ninth Branch are simply taking hits on my behalf. Trust me, I can manage this."Mandy hesitated a little and wanted to say something, but before she could, Durandal already said coldly, "Enough with the mushy nonsense. If you can't take a wager like this, I'm more than happy to let you both lick my boots a hundred times. After that, we'll call it even!"Harvey patted Mandy's shoulder and picked up the pen to sign his
"Your underlings are either Boxing Champions or Sword Champions. While they all sounded terrifying and their names quite stylish, and sound like they can defeat everyone that stands before them…" Harvey began coolly."Everything you did is so you can take all of the Ninth Branch's money, isn't it? If that's the case, why waste everyone's time? Let's do it decisively. We'll settle everything in one go. Of course, if you're scared, you can tell me too. I won't force you."Harvey shook his head and looked at Mandy. "This is boring, Mandy. Let's go, he's just a coward. I wonder where this spoiled brat comes from? He's scared of getting smacked by his own hand if he loses a few pennies. There's no need to waste time with people like this."When Mandy heard it, she said, "That's right. There's no need to waste time with rubbish."Durandal smiled coldly when he heard how they were mocking him. "No need for such sarcasm. I'm telling you right now, I'm not afraid of playing a game like th
