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
“Is that so?“How dare you side with evil?!“You must have a death wish!”Monica couldn’t be bothered to say anything more; she took a step forward, and swung her sword right at Harvey.It was a terrifying sight.Her speed increased threefold, ready to cut Harvey in half.Shay hurriedly pulled out her nun chucks again, and stood in front of Harvey.Clang!Shay was sent flying once again; she only managed to stay on foot with Darwin’s help. Even so, blood still gushed out of her mouth.She was headstrong; she swallowed her blood and regained her footing, ready to take action once more.“You people from the Heaven’s Gate are as useless as ever, Shay!” Monica screeched. “Your family especially so! The Heaven’s Fist is just a joke to me!”Monica pointed at Shay, her eyes narrowed, and her expression filled with pride.“I’m warning you one last time: leave right now! Stop being an eyesore! If not, I can’t guarantee your survival!”The Islanders glared at Harvey, not bothered to
After all, everyone could see that against Monica, Shay was no different from a dying dog…And yet, Harvey was telling her to fight with her bare hands.How was this possible?!Everything felt like a dream!The Islanders looked at Harvey scornfully, as if they were embarrassed for him. Not just them—Darwin and Soren looked at each other in disbelief as well.‘He wants Shay to fight back?’‘How is that even possible?’‘Why is he that confident?’‘Even if he’s a God of War, he wouldn’t be able to do something like that, right?’‘Besides, Monica is on another level!’‘It’d be a miracle if Shay can touch her!’‘Harvey wants Shay to cripple Monica in three moves?’‘That’s just unrealistic!’At that moment, Monica’s expression turned scornful.She had seen quite a lot of ignorant and crazy people in her life…but it was rare for her to see someone on Harvey’s level.Everyone looked at Harvey as if they were watching an idiot making a fool of himself.They finally understood wh
