“Besides…“You just crippled Jakai! Actually, I’d applaud you if you kill him!“That old fox had been doing whatever he pleases because of his status as an outer elder, and the number of disciples he has.“Not only did he let his daughter marry an Islander, but he even turned his back on the country for them.“The sacred martial arts training grounds find him utterly shameful.“If it weren’t for all those stupid rules we have, I would’ve crippled him myself already!”Quill didn’t have a good impression of Jakai at all. He chuckled coldly, as if the situation didn’t matter to him.“I should be thanking you instead.“That old b*stard only came to take my authority away.“There are too many Islanders here. There are a lot of benefits to side with them, too. That was why Jakai planned to support the Island Nations using the Golden Sands’s Heaven’s Gate branch.“Simply put, I would’ve been killed if you didn’t cripple him!“Judging from this, I owe you!”Harvey froze, then smile
“Should we just give him a chance to plot against us?“You must be joking, Harvey!“He’s a peak King of Arms! You’re already showing a lot of respect by keeping that man alive!“You don’t need to worry about this at all.“You should just focus on not getting killed by his disciples.“As for the so-called pressure, I can handle it easily.”It was a big incident, yet Quill wrote it off without a care in the world. It looked as if he could deal with the situation with ease if he really wanted to.“I’ll leave it up to you, then. Thank you for that.“That said, I have to tell you something.“If you get hurt because of this…“I’ll destroy Heaven’s Gate myself.”Harvey smiled; his casual words were filled with murderous intent. Quill froze, then looked deep into Harvey’s eyes.“You reassured me, telling me I wasn’t being hasty to pick a side.“Well, the situation won’t get to that point!“Don’t you worry!”Quill laughed while clapping his hands.“Come, now! Let’s not talk abou
Ding!At this moment, Darwin’s phone suddenly rang.The ear-piercing ringtone broke the silence of the night, startling Darwin and the higher-ups.Darwin haphazardly answered the call, and placed the phone beside his ear. His eyes twitched, and the phone soon fell to the ground.Quill glanced calmly at him. “What’s the matter?”Darwin’s face turned slightly pale. “Jakai’s dead…” he replied, trembling. ‘Dead?!’A few simple words were enough to silence everyone. Everyone held their breath—the whole place was emerged in pin-drop silence. The higher-ups suddenly looked as if they had been rotting in the ground for three whole days.Quill, on the other hand, casually held his cup, his arms crossed. “Chaos is coming to the Golden Sands…”…Early the next morning, Harvey glanced at his phone as soon as he woke up. He saw dozens of phone calls on his screen.Harvey calmly called a few of them back, and soon found out about Jakai’s death.He then called Soren to make sense
Soren was speechless.Jakai was a prominent figure. Heaven’s Gate supporting him was no easy opponent to deal with, either. More importantly, he had deep connections with the Island Nations. The Islanders would surely use this opportunity to cause an uproar.Simply put, Golden Sands was in deep trouble.Soren and the entire Braff family would definitely suffer a lot of pressure soon enough.He had received a phone call from Wolsing this morning, telling him to solve the case as soon as possible so the people from the Island Nations or Heaven’s Gate wouldn’t get a chance to take action.“I looked into the situation, Sir York. This old bastard had quite a lot of enemies!“Some of them are peak Kings of Arms, too. They’re fully capable of killing Jakai with one hit.“That said, they all have alibis to prove that they had no time to assassinate him in the first place.“Besides, they aren’t so quick as to be able to do this immediately after hearing about Jakai getting crippled.“I
“They also know about my relationship with Quill.“I’d get in trouble if Jakai died, and Quill would surely stand up for me.“With his protection, the six Hermit Families would probably be dragged into the situation too, since they’re always together.“With that, all of Golden Sands’s forces would have no choice but to go against the Heaven’s Gate and the Island Nations.“The culprit’s mission would be complete after that.”Harvey looked thoughtful. “The culprit’s goal isn’t to kill Jakai or me.“They’re planning to enter the game.“With a strong impact, of course.“There can only be one person with such methods and timing…”Darwin and Soren locked eyes; they didn’t think that Harvey had already figured out this much.“Who is it?” Soren asked after a short moment.“Faceless of Evermore,” Harvey replied.Darwin and Soren shivered, and their faces turned dark. It was only a speculation and there was no solid proof, but it was highly probable that Faceless was actually behin
“If that wasn’t the case, a thousand of you would be no match against my father!”Monica’s face was frost. “Alright, enough talk!“Kneel and break every single one of your limbs, then castrate yourself!“After that, stay with my father’s grave for a whole week!“I’ll decide how to deal with you when my husband’s back!”Monica had an arrogant expression, as if she was convinced Harvey had no choice but to obey her every single order.Her companions were all screaming fiercely at Harvey, desperately wanting to tear him apart.The Nobita family, with their aristocratic titles, would usually act high and mighty. When had they given in before?When did anyone dare go against them?And yet, a mere man from Country H crippled their young master, then killed their mistress’s father!What a joke!Harvey waved his hand to stop Soren and Darwin, then glanced at Monica with a small smile.“You’d rather become traitors of your own country than be an honest person? You want me to bre
Monica was infuriated to see Harvey’s dismissive attitude.Her beautiful eyes narrowed as she glared at Harvey.“You’ve angered me, Harvey!” she exclaimed furiously. “You’ll end up horribly for this!”Monica took a step forward and put her hand on her long sword, ready to unsheathe it at any moment.“Don’t do anything reckless, Monica!”Shay stepped up, looking awful. “We don’t even know how Jakai died yet! Can you take responsibility for causing Sir York this much trouble? Do you even have proof?!”“Proof?”Monica chuckled coldly; she didn’t care to show Shay any face at all.“When did you people get the right to talk back to me?“Let me tell you something!“Nobody can keep Harvey safe today!“He’s destined to be crippled!”Naturally, Monica believed that she had already given Harvey a chance to atone by breaking his own limbs. Had he done so, he could least survive a few more days.Not only did Harvey not cherish the opportunity, but he also disobeyed her completely. A
Harvey glared back at Monica. “Idiot.”“You bastard! How dare you insult me?” Monica screamed in anger. She was brimming with unbridled fury.A frosty aura seeped out of her, and she pressed her hand on her long sword. As she slowly closed up her fingers, a fierce aura resembling a massive tornado burst all over the place.It was a terrifying and shocking sight.Even Soren froze from confusion; he didn’t expect Monica to get so much stronger after inheriting the Nobita family’s martial arts!Darwin couldn’t help but feel impressed; Jakai must’ve taught her everything he knew. Her strength had already increased at an exponential level. Not just Shay—even Darwin knew he was no match against Monica.“As expected for the mistress to be this fierce!”“Looks like she’ll break through as a God of War in under three years!”“The Island Nations will have another one soon enough!”“All hail the Island Nations!”Her companions looked at her, awed. They didn’t think that Monica was actua
