Harvey York quickly sized up the monks.“While you can still speak, let me ask you this.“If you’re that confident in your young master…“Then, why isn’t he here to stand up for you?”If Blaine John actually showed up, it would be easier for Harvey to deal with the trouble once and for all.“You want Young Master John to deal with a small fry like you?The leading monk shook his head mockingly.“What are you thinking?!“My name is Tosu! Remember my name when you’re on Death’s door, kid! Maybe you’ll get a chance to be reborn after that!”Tosu was just about to take action…But right as he stepped forward, his face instantly froze. Harvey’s hand was already on his neck.It was dead silent.Nobody thought Harvey was able to be this fast and powerful.After all, speed was the only way to long success.Tosu froze before letting out a sigh.“I was wrong!“I truly misjudged you!“I didn’t think you’d be a King of Arms! A peak King of Arms at that!“Truly terrifying skill fo
Harvey York calmly looked back before relaxing his grip.“Do you have something to say?” he asked, looking at Tosu standing on the side.Tosu showed a horrible expression.He was an expert martial artist. Judging by Harvey’s decisiveness, he could immediately tell that Harvey was a formidable opponent.After looking at his brothers, completely shocked by Harvey, he had no choice but to show a bitter smile.“I give up!”“Fine. Break an arm and a leg, then tell me all you know about Evermore,” replied Harvey.“I’ll let you live if you do.”It did not matter to Harvey if he killed these small fries or not.As long as he could gather more information about the organization.A monk with two scars on his head was utterly furious.“Do you think you’re impressive just because you have a firearm, kid?!“Those are useless against me!”Bang!Harvey pulled the trigger at the monk before he could even say anything else.A bullet flew straight through his chest before he fell to the g
Harvey York calmly sent a text to Kairi Patel before speaking.“Now you’ll tell me everything, right?“Of course, you can also choose to keep quiet.“I already sent a text to Kairi, though. I’m sure you know who she is.“I believe there’ll be countless ways to make you speak after that.”“We don’t know much about Evermore anyway,” replied Tosu.Tosu trembled in his boots. He knew just how terrifying the Poison Fairy was.“We don’t even get to meet Young Master John that often.“We’d usually get orders from Esther John.”Harvey looked curious.“She’s from Evermore as well?”“That’s right. She also has quite an immense status in the Golden Sands. That’s why we, the people from sacred martial arts training grounds, even listened to her in the first place.“She’d also supply the elixirs we consume and our monthly rewards.”Harvey frowned.“So, what’s Blaine to Evermore then?“Is he the head of the organization or what?”“I only know he’s in a high position with many subordi
Everyone was gathered here.Lilian Yates, Simon Zimmer, Mandy Zimmer, Gabriel Lee, Avery Foster, Silas John, and Alma John were present.Other than Xynthia Zimmer, the people involved with the family were seen inside the house.Harvey York could not help but envy Xynthia, who left for Mordu at such perfect timing.It would be such a headache to see the sight, after all.“How dare you come back?!Lilian’s dear son, Gabriel, immediately spoke.“Look at your father! He almost had a stroke before he came back home!“If he weren’t sent to the hospital on time, you would’ve been the culprit!“Yet you still come back despite that?!“What do you want?!“Do you want food or something?!”Naturally, Gabriel was fearful of Harvey and Azrael Bolton’s relationship.But he was already filled with rage after being disrespected so many times. With Simon and Lilian’s protection, he was obviously going all out.He believed that no matter how impressive Harvey was, he could not go against hi
“Not only did he reject Young Master Bauer for you, she even kept saying good things about you, hoping I’d accept you!“She didn’t want me to embarrass you!“She wants you to remarry her soon!Lilian Yates spoke up in a cold tone.“How can you be this ungrateful when Mandy treats you so well?!“Do you even have a heart?!“How can you sleep at night like this?!“I don’t care if the money belongs to you or that b*stard of a woman!“In any case, you have no right to keep the gem to yourself!“Hand over the Augustea right now!”Mandy Zimmer wanted to speak up but hesitated. She quickly texted Harvey, telling him to hand over the gem so they would get remarried sooner.Harvey glanced at his phone before shaking his head in front of Mandy.It was not that he did not want to comply. He simply did not want to drag the entire family down.Mandy showed a horrible expression after seeing the look on Harvey’s face.She believed that Harvey had a change of heart. She thought that he w
“More importantly, do you think you can even come back alive if someone actually came for the Augustea?“You would’ve died countless times by now!Lilian Yates looked gloomy. Naturally, she did not believe a single word Harvey York just said.Harvey heaved a sigh. He could not just tell everyone about Evermore.That said, he did not want to lie to Mandy either.“Give me some time!” he said with a stern expression.“I’ll tell you the truth when the time comes…”“Enough!Mandy Zimmer immediately stood up after hearing Harvey deny everyone an explanation.“Just tell it to me straight, Harvey! Are you going to give Kairi the gem?!“Say it!“I won’t stop you!“You can’t be lying to me about this!“I want to believe you, but you’re giving me nothing to trust right now!”“Can’t you just trust me on this?” whispered Harvey.Mandy seemed bitter.“I do trust you! I texted you to give my parents the gem so we can get married again!“I even promised them that!“I told them you’ll
Harvey York showed a stern look in front of Simon Zimmer while he was briefly thinking about the situation.“I really can’t give you the gem, Dad…“But I can give you something of the same value.“It’s not an Augustea, but it’s no worse than it.”Harvey grabbed the copper coin he got from Tosu’s van before setting it in front of Simon.The coin was not clean, nor was it wrapped nicely. It looked just like any ordinary coin.Simon was boiling with anger.Other than his greed like no other, he was infuriated because of Harvey’s attitude.He believed Harvey was just fooling him with something he found in a random stall.‘This is completely unforgivable!“You little b*stard, Harvey!“Do you think I’m blind just because I can’t appraise anything?!“That thing probably cost a dollar from some random stall!“How dare you use that to trick me?!“You’re telling me this is on par with the Augustea?!“You don’t care about me at all!“Why are we still keeping that man here, Mandy?!
“Give the Augustea to Father, and we’ll get married right now!“Lose the chance, and we probably will never get another!Mandy Zimmer showed a bitter expression.“Are you really this reluctant?“Did you have a change of heart?“Tell me! Tell me right now!”Harvey York hesitated. He wanted to tell Mandy about Evermore but knew he would drag the entire family down if he did.He heaved a sigh. He planned to explain the situation as soon as Mandy calmed down.“Do you think this is a market or something?!“Do you think you can just come and go as you please?!“Kneel and apologize to Mandy and her parents before you leave!”Silas John, who had been watching the show, finally revealed his true color.He stood up with a righteous look while smiling at Harvey.“In any case, you can’t just do whatever you want here?“Don’t even try to leave until you slam your knees to the ground!”Then, he stepped in front of Harvey, blocking his path with a playful glare.Harvey frowned.“Step
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
Harvey's expression became cold as he watched Mrs. Hoffman. He was completely done with her.Mrs. Hoffman bit her lip and stared at Hale for a long time. "You're right! The one who sold you out is me. I sold your identity to other people, too. I'm also the one that almost got you killed. When I heard about the Chapter of Ascension in the morning, I was also the one who sent the message!"Hale's expression was one of bitterness and grief. He gritted his teeth and asked coldly, "Why?""Why?" Mrs. Hoffman scoffed, a hint of disdain on her face. "Why do you think I did this? Fine, I'll tell you. It's easy—after marrying you for so many years, I've never had a life of peace! We're either living in the streets or hiding! I didn't ask for a wealthy life. I just want a normal and peaceful life like any other ordinary woman! But I can't see us ever having that life! "If that's the case, why can't I gamble everything away? Why can't I sell you in exchange for wealth so I can have an e
Hale let out a bitter cry with a sorrowful expression. How could anyone expose that the person who slept next to them would be the one to stab them in the back?Hale whispered, "I simply didn't want that person to be you. You have been with me for so many years and have suffered so much. I've already treated you as my only family. If family like you betrayed me, it would do nothing but make me suffer."That was why I arranged such a test. I was hoping that Mr. Harvey would betray me once he knew who I really was and that I really did have the Chapter of Ascension. That way, I could continue executing my plans in peace."I didn't expect him to be completely uninterested in the Chapter of Ascension. Instead, you were the one who betrayed me again. It also meant that the one who turned me to Camellia and let her trace me was you…"Harvey didn't pin any blame on Hale after hearing what had happened. After giving it a thought, he said, "Normally speaking, we've just met for the first
"You… Hale! How…" Mrs. Hoffman crawled back up, her mind going black for a moment. She quickly pulled out her phone, about to make a call. Because she was too nervous, she kept on pressing the wrong numbers. She couldn't make that call.Harvey didn't say anything as he looked at this scene calmly.Meanwhile, Hale's expression began to change. There was a hint of sorrow in his eyes as he looked at the woman he loved. "Honey… Don't tell me that despite Mr. Harvey having no interest in the Chapter of Ascension, you let someone else get it instead? In short, you're the one that betrayed me… And has been betraying me…"A tear of blood formed from the corner of Hale's eyes as he spoke.Mrs. Hoffman, who was still trying to make that call, shuddered as she turned and looked at the man whom she had accompanied for many years.At the same time, someone pushed open the door. It was Clarion. He quickly walked into the room and leaned in next to Harvey, whispering, "Something happened
