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
“The Heaven’s Fist is a forbidden martial art for both the Gibson family and Heaven’s Gate!“Without this, how is the family supposed to maintain the position within the sacred martial arts’ training ground?”Penny was worried. For a family of martial artists, martial arts that could be passed down between generations was far more important than many other things.Quill looked at her with a horrible expression.“From now on, nobody in the family will be allowed to practice the Heaven’s Fist!“Those who do will be considered as traitors!”Quill was a decisive man; in his eyes, his family’s life was a lot more important than the martial arts. That said, he was still heartbroken when he said those words.After all, the Heaven’s Fist had been passed down for hundreds of years. Yet, it had to end with him.Even so, those who trained in it couldn’t even go past their sixties.He believed he should be determined about the decision.Penny became sluggish.She had spent quite a few y
“You’d even provide us with the very thing that our martial arts have been missing!“You’d be saving so many disciples of the Gibson family.“I’ll never be able to return the favor!“If you don’t mind, let’s become sworn brothers!“We’ll start right now!“Now, you’re the senior of all disciples of the Golden Sands’s Heaven’s Gate branch!“Whoever offends you will be offending me.“Whoever goes against you will be going against me, too!”‘Sworn brothers?’‘Senior of the Heaven’s Gate?!’The people froze in place; they couldn’t come to their senses.Harvey did the same.Penny as well.Darwin couldn’t even believe what he just heard; if this was true, Harvey’s status would be a lot higher than his!The other higher-ups looked at each other; they wanted to stop this from happening, but they knew full well why Quill decided to do this.They’d be insane if they didn’t pull such a prominent figure to their side!“I’ll treat your silence as agreement, Harvey.“We from the unde
The Gibson family watched with puzzled gazes as they were bestowed another senior.They couldn’t wrap their heads around it.Judging from Harvey’s status, he wouldn’t be benefitting anything from this situation. In fact, Quill and the Gibson family would.“Hahaha! Good! You really are an honest man!”Quill burst out laughing.“Come here, Penny! Come greet your senior!”Penny walked forward, her previously prideful expression completely gone.“Senior…”She didn’t even know what expression she should have. Before, she wanted to force Harvey to marry her no matter what.But now, since there was seniority involved, there was no chance for that anymore.More importantly, with Harvey’s status, she had no other option but to show him her respect. Just that alone drove her to the verge of passing out.Darwin stepped forward, smiling. “Mr. York…”Compared to Penny, he was filled with admiration.Harvey was quite speechless. “Just call me by my name, Darwin. I can’t get used to you
