‘The car broke the sword from the Island Nations?!The blade was built from the highest-grade materials owned by the military.Money alone could not buy such things. People who owned these were naturally prominent figures with extraordinary identities.That said, all these only gave the right for Colson John to be slightly surprised.Harvey York faintly smiled at him. His gaze was profoundly stern and calm when he remained silent.“I know that you’re quite capable, Harvey…”Colson took a huff of his cigar.“I know you also have a pretty good relationship with Kairi Patel.“That said, do you really think you have the right to go against the John family just because of that?“Kairi’s just a woman. Do you think one can make the Patel family stand with you?“Ultimately, you’re just a live-in son-in-law who got kicked out by the Jean family’s ninth branch.“You have no right to fight us.“If I want to, I can make you die a horrible death just by moving a finger.”Colson showed
Harvey York smiled.“You should just kneel instead. It’ll save a lot of work.Harvey glanced at the watch on his wrist.“Since you’re the second eldest young master, I’ll give you two minutes to consider.“If you don’t, I’ll make you do it myself!”Colson John let out a sigh before showing a smile back.Sasaki could not help but step forward with a cold chuckle.“This can’t do, Young Master Colson. This kid’s just too good at showing off!“I’ve been in the city for so long, yet this is the first time I’ve seen someone like this!“I want him!Sasaki pointed his broken sword at Harvey’s nose.“I don’t have that much patience, kid!“I’ll give you one minute!“Bring Silas!“If you don’t, I’ll kill off every single friend and family you have in front of you before ending your life!”Along with Sasaki’s movement, the people in golden thread suits swarmed out.The beautiful women lit their thin, long cigars before blowing out puffs of smoke, thinking that Harvey was just bluff
Compared to Colson John’s extraordinary aura, Harvey York seemed like a poor sob.Harvey squinted before showing a faint smile.“So, are you saying you’ll take advantage of me?”“That’s right! Can you do anything about that?!” replied Colson with a stern expression.The beautiful women blew out puffs of smoke before bursting out in laughter.‘He’s still pretending now?!’‘What’s the damn point?!’Sasaki Tairo strutted forward with his broken sword.“You fool!“You’re still not going to kneel?!“You’re still not bringing Silas out?!“Do you want me to lash out or what?!”The people in golden threads chuckled wretchedly.Bam!At this moment, the sounds of engines could be heard from both sides of the alley, completely shaking up the silent night.Almost everyone was attracted by the loud sound.Colson and the others instinctively looked over with a cold expression.He wanted to see who was causing him trouble at that moment.His eyes frantically twitched when he saw the
“Who the hell are you, Harvey?!Colson was not an idiot. His extraordinary capabilities were enough to show that.After all, only the most talented could climb the ranks of the John family.As the top man inferior only to Blaine John, ordinary people could not imagine Colson’s either.He knew that there must have been some information he had gathered wrong.“I’ve never heard of such a prominent figure like you in the city before,” he said after taking a deep breath.Naturally, he was a pretty experienced man as well.But it was unbelievable for him to hear of such a well-known man in the city.More importantly, he could see Cliff Saban, Kellan Ruiz, Luca Robbins, and the others standing in the crowd.Those people would usually greet him politely.And yet, he seemed invisible to them at that moment. They were all politely standing beside Harvey as well.He had no choice but to reassess Harvey.“No matter the case, Golden Sands is still an ancient city.“There are thousands
The sight completely shocked everyone’s minds.The beautiful women gasped and screamed in fear. They would not dare look down on Harvey York anymore.Harvey took a step forward before calmly stepping on Sasaki Tairo’s leg.A loud crack could be heard.“Kneel!”Harvey’s calm words sounded like a sacred order that everyone had no choice but to obey.Colson John was boiling with anger.“Harvey York!”Crack!Harvey nonchalantly broke Sasaki’s other leg.“Are you kneeling or not?”“Yes! Yes!”“We’ll kneel!”The men in golden-threaded suits all kneeled after seeing Harvey’s fierce glare.They quickly dropped their weapons before they slammed their knees to the ground.After all, nobody would dare talk back against such a fierce fighter.If they could survive, so what if they gave up?So what if they kneeled?Without Harvey saying a word, Kellan Ruiz and the others walked up before crippling the men and throwing them out to the street while they wailed in pain.The imposing
“Expert?Harvey York casually smiled before hooking his finger in front of Colson John.“Come. Let me see what you’ve got.”Colson was utterly infuriated when he charged forward with his blade shining brightly.“Ending Slash!”The killer move was taught to him by Evermore. It was said that it could kill anybody slightly above the user’s level.Along with the fact that Colson was a beginner King of Arms, he was extremely confident in his skills.He believed that other than Quill Gibson and Azrael Bolton, he could outmatch anybody in Golden Sands!He did not even care about Blaine!That said, Harvey swung his palm forward in the very next moment!Slap!All that nonsense was nothing to Harvey.In Colson’s eyes, his light disappeared as soon as he saw Harvey’s palm.Only an ever-expanding palm could be seen before his eyes!He felt a sharp pain before he slammed right into the ground. A bright red palm print was clearly showing on his face when his longsword flew into the dis
Sasaki Tairo completely froze when he sat on the ground.He was not surprised that Harvey York was able to beat him. He was just furious at most.But it was way beyond his expectation to see Colson John being sent flying that easily.In his eyes, Colson was on par with the Top Ten Talents of Kendo!And yet this happened…Slap!Harvey stepped forward before swinging yet another slap.Colson twitched on the ground momentarily before coughing out blood mixed with a few of his teeth.He mustered his strength to stand up, but his entire body kept convulsing.Only he knew that after getting slapped around so many times, his dignity, ego, and everything else collapsed almost immediately!Harvey raised his hand again with a cold expression.Bam!Colson slammed his knees to the ground without hesitation.He was afraid!Deeply afraid!***On the next day, at seven o’clock in the morning.Alma John walked out of the White Swan Hotel with a refreshed look.Not only did she deal w
Alma John saw the figure on the ground before she was filled with disbelief.The person was none other than Colson John himself!The usually high and mighty young master, a truly prominent and invincible figure who would only lower his head before Blaine John, looked no different than a dead dog!“What happened to you, Colson?Alma instinctively stepped forward after getting such a huge shock, wanting to lift Colson off the ground.“You’re the second young master of the John family! You represent the family’s glory!“You can’t just kneel like this!“What happened here?!Colson did not say a word when he showed a vengeful look, wanting to strangle her to death so badly.If it was not for Alma and Silas John conspiring to take advantage of a woman…Silas would not have been missing by now.Colson would not have suffered such humiliation.If he could choose again, he would definitely stay away from Silas’ business.“Why are you here, Harvey?!“Why are you sitting in my broth
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
