“This isn’t my money—this is just a small gift from my daughter.“She said she’s planning to use this money for her marriage. She wanted you to keep it.”Darwin smiled brightly; the amount wasn’t that much—it was just 1.2 million. The neat signature on the check made Harvey’s mouth twitch. If he really took the money, he’d be keeping Shay’s betrothal gift!‘This sly old fox!’Harvey quickly reached out to check for Shay’s pulse. He couldn’t be bothered to talk anymore.Shay trembled; her face turned bright red. It was her first time being so close to a man.Harvey pulled away soon after.“There shouldn’t be a big problem anymore. Make sure to take salt baths in the next few weeks. Also, remember not to use your energy. You’ll be back to normal after that.“Another thing: you better not take advantage of other people with your martial arts ever again!“As long as you’re cordial with everyone, you won’t get another relapse.“But if you’re still going to try showing off after
Shay gritted her teeth after hearing her father’s words.“I’ll do what I must, Sir York…” she said quietly.“I won’t make things harder for you. Just treat me as your maid.”Harvey had a sudden headache.Shay had a beautiful face, but she really wasn’t someone who should be pampered and spoiled. “Oh, Sir York! Are you heartbroken to let a beautiful woman like my daughter do labor work? Well then, how about this?”Darwin looked as if he was thinking for Harvey’s sake.“I heard you’re divorced. Do you have any plans to get married again?“Shay’s pretty headstrong, but she has a good body. She’s beautiful, too. I only have this one daughter…“I’ll leave all my wealth—”“Enough. Enough already…”Harvey’s head started twitching, and he quickly cut off Darwin.“For your sake, I’ll let Shay work here.“I don’t want to take advantage of you two, either. I’ll pay her just as much as I pay Castiel.“I’ll treat her like a man. She can stay as long as she works. If not, I’ll kick he
Darwin thought for a moment.“I think that may be the case.“He believes that there’s a problem causing the family to lose its descendants early.“The adults never managed to get past their sixties…“That said, this is just my speculation.“Mr. Gibson only wanted me to tell you that he finds you an interesting man, and that he wanted to see you because of that. “He’s probably not going to stand up for Prince Gibson.“If that was the case, he wouldn’t tell me to invite you.“He could’ve just ordered his best fighters to take you away.”Harvey nodded without saying a word.Whether Quill Gibson was planning to make friend or foe out of him, Harvey knew that he could take it.That said, he believed that a smart man like Quill wouldn’t go against such a prominent figure just because of a rich playboy.If that was the case, Quill wouldn’t be able to live up to his name.An hour later, the car arrived at an old villa on the side of Hulroy Lake.The villa was at least a few doze
Fearsome strength, a powerful family, and great support…Quill had everything at his disposal.People like him would naturally have high status and many admirers. Quill looked over, as if he had felt Harvey’s gaze.A strong aura seeped out of Quill and enveloped Harvey completely, trying to test him.Harvey crossed his arms, and smiled faintly. Quill froze; he started to add more of his aura.No matter how hard he tried, his aura would always collapse despite Harvey not doing anything.Quill was shocked. His aura went away like a receding tide.Bam!The young woman threw another punch, breaking a wooden dummy in two. She then excitedly turned around, as if she wanted to show off her skill.Harvey looked over, and chuckled bitterly.What a small world—the woman was none other than Penny.After thinking for a moment, Harvey finally understood.The Hermit Families were always banded together. Penny could walk freely around the Braff family’s residence, so it was only natur
Penny was boiling with anger.Before, she had already been embarrassed in the Braff family’s residence.When she was just about to give herself to Harvey…He stumbled out of the place without any warning.She didn’t know whether he was shy or a coward, but in her eyes, this was outright humiliating.Whenever she thought of him, she would grit her teeth in anger. She planned to look for Harvey at Fortune Hall a few times, but every single time, she gave up as soon as she stood at the entrance.Despite her education in the West, she was still quite timid.Her heart had been going through all sorts of conundrums for the past few days. Naturally, she blamed it all on Harvey.Seeing him show up with a pitiful sigh, she wanted to strangle him to death so badly.When Harvey saw her vengeful glare, he instinctively shivered. He quickly went behind Darwin to avoid her.This woman was just too troublesome. He didn’t want anything to do with her at all.Since he couldn’t afford to go
Safe to say, Penny had already lost before the fight even started.Everyone was dead silent.They all looked at each other, not knowing what to do.Harvey was just too fast!Speed was the only way to long success, after all…And yet, Harvey’s speed was way beyond anyone’s imagination!Even an expert like Darwin couldn’t see how Harvey moved.Quill was in slight shock; he managed to see Harvey’s speed. “You’re no match for me, Ms. Penny.”Harvey smiled faintly as he pulled his hand back.A faint fragrance lingered between his fingers.Penny’s face was bright red; her body shook, and she quickly stumbled back.Naturally, it was her first time being this close to a man.Harvey’s masculine aura was enough to make her shiver. She didn’t think that Harvey was this quick and skillful.She flung her hand, revealing an exquisite-looking firearm. She planned to fight Harvey to the death!“How dare you flirt with me like that, you bastard…?”She took off the safety of her firearm
“It’s fine,” Harvey said casually with a smile on his face.“You’re young; you look distant, but you’re headstrong.“Other than the fact that you’ve been living in the West and taking in too much of that culture, you’ve been training your hidden martial arts like you would any other foreign fighting skills.“Without a place to vent your energy, you’ll naturally be filled with fire…“Since you’ve been having bad luck with men, it’s normal for you to be boiling with anger.“Under such circumstances, all you’ve been thinking about is to lash out whenever you please.“It was instinct that you came after me.“It’s not that you actually hate me—you hate everyone equally.“Or rather, you hate all men equally.”Quill froze, and revealed a profound expression.“Heh, heh, heh! I admit, you’re quite proficient in geomancy arts…but I’m not a match against you in terms of martial arts either!” Penny said.She laughed coldly.“However, the Heaven’s Fist is one of the Heaven’s Gate’s best
Harvey glanced at Darwin after that.“You were almost completely paralyzed before. The Corpse Walkers were involved to a certain extent.“However, the Heaven’s Fist is also one of the causes.“You’re already hurting yourself just by training. Now, your body is inferior compared to an ordinary martial artist.“Once you get hurt, it’ll be hard for you to recover. The damage would probably increase, too…”Darwin’s expression turned horrible.“That’s right. I knew that the Twisted Palm couldn’t compare to the Heaven’s Fist, no matter how impressive the Corpse Walkers were. After all, the sacred martial arts training ground isn’t for show!“So that’s the real reason!“If I recall, out of the three forbidden martial arts by Heaven’s Gate, the descendants of the Heaven’s Fist would never go past their sixties…“Mr. Gibson thought this was because of our luck, but…“It’s the martial arts that’s the problem, after all!”Darwin didn’t even know how to feel at that moment.If Harvey w
"Grand City?" Harvey caught a crucial keyword from Yvonne's explanation. "Let's stop everything else. Tell me more about Grand City. Why haven't I heard anything about a city like this in this world?"Then Yvonne replied sternly, "Normally speaking, as the representative of Country H's Martial Arts Alliance, you must have known about Grand City. It is not a city that belongs to our world. It was said to belong only to martial artists. "It was said that not only was the city very prosperous and a place where martial arts flourished, but it was also said that there was a portal that led to another world in that city. It was also said that only one could comprehend the pinnacle of martial arts, uniting Man and Nature…"Harvey slightly frowned. "Uniting Man and Nature? That way, doesn't that make Grand City the holy land of all Martial Artists? Aren't they going to fight tooth and nail with everyone so that they could stay in a place like this?"Yvonne nodded. "That's right. Those who
"Maybe Dan really wanted to become the leader, or he needed many people and power. He never inherited the chivalry and benevolence of the previous generation. He did everything for profit," Ray explained. "Perhaps it's because Parkerville is the Sacred Training Ground with the deepest roots in the outside world. That's why the way Dan did things tyrannically affected the youths who went to martial arts schools and those who practiced their martial arts."According to George's estimation, the number of youths from their school who committed violent crimes across the globe had increased tenfold. Many of them had even joined the criminal underworld of their own volition. "And the worst part is, because of their relations with the Sacred Training Grounds, even Dragon Gate had no choice but to show some leniency. That's why it's very difficult to deal with Sacred Training Grounwithave such powerful influence in the outside world…""Difficult?" Harvey asked curiously. "How difficult?""
"I quietly applied to Country A's top-ranking universities to become an exchange student. Last night, I received a call from Irving Sixth Academy saying that there would be an interview for me. Thinking that it was a rare chance, I came. I didn't expect that the so-called interviewer was Linus."I knew something was amiss, so I made an excuse and left. I didn't expect to fall into their trap the moment I stepped in. Luckily you're here, otherwise… Otherwise…" Sia was filled with terror after that. She remembered how Linus and Clarion looked at her. She knew how it would end if she fell into their hands."I see," Harvey nodded. It looks like Linus didn't give up and instead set his eyes on the Xavier family's family members." Harvey narrowed his eyes when he said that.While he was unsure about Linus's entire plan, he had some ideas. Linus most likely formulated this trap to make Parkerville and the Xaviers of Wolsing mortal enemies."You can't tell my cousin about this, Harvey…" Si
Linus took a deep breath after hearing what Clarion had to say. But after that breath, he asked with great difficulty, "But Clarion, if we simply let it go like this, how are we supposed to survive in our social circle? We would become laughing stocks. This will become a mark that we can never remove from our reputation!"Clarion looked at Linus and said, "The wheel of fortune never stops spinning. Can he remain with such strength all the time? Once I make my report, I believe Dan will help us with this."Linus nodded repeatedly and said with a fawning expression. "Let's see… Maybe I should leave now and find a chance to get Sia here. I'll make sure you spend your night comfortably tonight! Since you have set your eyes on her, we can't let her fall into someone else's hand, can we? Not only do you get to have fun, but you can even humiliate Harvey completely!"He wants to become justice itself, right? After we do that, let's see what kind of justice he is!" Linus cackled lecherously
Then, slaps echoed as Clarion respectfully said, "I'm sorry, Ms. Xavier. I'm drunk today. I'm sorry from the bottom of my heart!"Many people around could not help but widen their eyes. They did not know how to act. Not only did Clarion bend his knee, but he also slapped himself twice without hesitation and immediately apologized. He felt like a completely different person compared to how he used to work in the past. Even Linus was shocked. This was different from how he initially planned. This was completely different than what he had planned!Typically, Clarion would simply attack now that they had reached this point. No matter who won or lost, Harvey and Parkerville would become mortal enemies! But… What was this? Clarion bent the knee, slapped himself, and apologized. This was so humiliating!""Let's go!" After Clarion apologized, he immediately stood up and waved his hand, leaving. He did not care about the disbelief everyone was having. But no one noticed the brewing storm i
Linus's eyes narrowed. He did not expect Harvey to be this stubborn. Meanwhile, as this was Clarion's first interaction with Harvey, he knew little about his tendencies. In a malicious tone, he asked, "Punishment? What kind of punishment?""Simple," Harvey said with a faint smile. "According to the rules of the Alliance, those who harass women without cause are to face the Punishment of Three Blades and Six Holes!"Clarion's expression immediately darkened. "You dare, Harvey?"All the elites behind him glared at Harvey with murderous intent."You can try and see if I'll really do it." Harvey waved his right hand in the air. The dagger from one of Clarion's bodyguards was immediately pulled out of its sheathe and flew right into Harvey's hand with a sharp "schwing." Harvey slowly walked toward Clarion with the dagger in his hand, his expression calm."What's with the egotism, you pretty face!" All the young women of wealth on the balcony were angered at how arrogant Harvey was. T
Harvey calmly asked Clarion, "How?"Clarion said with a dark expression, "I will personally report this to our Young Master, Dan. He will face you in battle."It was obvious to someone like Clarion that it was normal for them to act with such arrogance. No matter where they go, the hosts should treat them respectfully and fulfill all their needs. He did not expect that he simply left the group to have some fun. Not only was it enough to make him lose interest, but he was also humiliated.He simply could not take this lying down!"What? You want to ask your seniors for help with something so minor?" Harvey glanced at Clarion. "There are so many of you, and you also had an army of electrifying mutants. If you attack me simultaneously, you might be able to defeat me. Won't you give it a try?"Linus could hear Harvey's mocking tone and immediately said, "He's just too arrogant, Clarion! Attack him! I refuse to believe we can't beat rubbish like him when we're this many!"Clarion cold
"Arrogant?" asked Harvey with a smile. He would not let Clarion get away with anything since he seemed so hostile. He immediately walked over and kicked Clarion to the ground. "There's nothing arrogant about that? This is arrogance!""What?!" Everyone gasped in shock when they saw what happened. Harvey walked over and immediately kicked Clarion to the ground before any one of them was prepared.Clarion was one of the main heirs of the Parker family from the Sacred Martial Arts Training Ground. From a certain perspective, his status was even higher than Linus's. However, did Harvey simply ignore all of that and beat him up?None of them was able to react to it.At that moment, there was an indescribable silence permeating. Everyone felt their mouth and throat getting dry. They were not too sure what to say. Only Ray seemed to treat it as a natural occurrence. That was his boss for you."Harvey! How dare you attack him?! Don't you know who he is? You can still live if you attack me,
"Not only did you not leave, you even continued to terrorize our country. Unfortunately, your luck ran out, and you're once again in my grasp," Harvey said coldly."In your grasp? This time, you're the one in my grasp!" Linus denied, glaring at Harvey venomously. It's time to clear the books for everything you did! How dare you injure me to this extent! Once the precinct's men arrive, we'll see you explain this to them! ""Come! Call the police! Report to them that someone here is harassing me because he has political pull and is attacking a foreigner! I want this man to suffer!"It was obvious that Linus wanted to imprison Harvey. After that, he had plenty of ways to kill him."Sure. Call the cops, then," Harvey said shruggingly. "It was true that I hit someone, but someone was drugging young women who had just come of age. That's a more serious crime, right? I'll be inside for a few days, but a certain someone will probably stay here for quite some time before permanently unable
