“If you’ve got guts, let the Gibson family fight too!“Let us in!“We’ll rip you to shreds!”Darwin Gibson was completely enraged.Since the inner elder was there, not only was Golden Sands’ branch of Heaven’s Gate being suppressed, but the disciples were not allowed to participate either.Without Quill Gibson’s support, the Golden Sands’ branch would naturally go against Brodie Vaus.The situation was extremely dire because of this.Arlet Pagan quickly showed a cold expression as she spoke.“Are you winning because you actually have talent? Or are you just using underhanded tactics? You, of all people, should know that answer.“I thought you were a decent character, but you’re just as shameless as your father after all!“No, you’re even worse than him!“You’re filth who only knows how to play small tricks!”Nameless smiled faintly.“What’s the point of telling me all this, Ms. Pagan?“You people did things without considering the consequences. What does this have to do w
“If you people are really that impressive, then show the rest of your cards already! Win the fight!“Convince me that I lost, and I’ll even avoid you people when I see you!“But if not, I’m afraid you’ll have to do everything as I say.”Kairi Patel showed a cold expression. She was just about to lash out…But at this very moment, her secretary’s body trembled before picking up her phone.The secretary showed a horrible expression when she hung up.“This is bad, Ms. Patel!” she exclaimed bitterly.“Our remaining four experts were poisoned… They died at the same time.“We… We don’t have anyone else left to fight.”Kairi froze before she gritted her teeth with a fierce glare.“You shameless b*stard!”“Ms. Patel! You can’t just say that for no reason!“You don’t even have any proof that I did it!“Come! Let me guess! The people you hired must’ve been scared of facing Matsuda Taiha! That was why they poisoned themselves!“Oh my! I didn’t think filth in this country would rathe
The six Hermit Families weren’t able to do as they pleased, since the Braff family was involved with the government.And because of Heaven’s Gate, the Gibson family were of the same circumstance.It fell on Azrael, Golden Sands’s king of the underworld, to stand on the front lines in fighting Faceless Group and Evermore’s invasion.However, Kairi and the others requested him to stay behind. It wasn’t that Azrael was weak; if anything happened to him, they would all be done for.“I understand the situation we’re in, everyone,” Azrael said.“But right now, I have a chance to stop Faceless and Evermore’s return. I can fight for our future!“If I don’t do anything, Faceless will win. He’ll have a reason to come back.“If that happens, we’ll be in dire straits.” “I’ll handle it, then,” Kairi said, sighing. Her skills with poison were impressive. So much so, that everyone avoided her like the plague. If she used them, she would be criticized. Even so, it was much better than sen
Saul was shocked.“I know you’re capable, Harvey. I know that your subordinates are extraordinary as well, but have you considered this thoroughly?“Matsuda is one of the top ten experts among the younger generation in the Island Nations. His strength is nothing to scoff at. Not everyone can just go against him!“The Islanders are narrow-minded people. They’ll hate you if you decide to step up now.”“That’s right, Harvey,” Kairi said. “This is the underworld’s problem. You’re just a geomancy expert, so it’s not appropriate for you to take action now.”Kairi gave Harvey a look, signaling him to not waste his efforts.However, Harvey glanced calmly at Blaine.“It’s fine. There’s no need to hide anything at this point.“Since we couldn’t lure the big fish out, adding more bait would be good.”Harvey’s calm words were filled with confidence.Saul, Azrael, and the others exchanged glances before nodding. Since Harvey had already made his stance clear, there was no point for them t
Everyone was in shock; they looked as if they had forgotten how to breathe.Harvey was the only one who was calm. Nameless, Blaine, Kairi, and many others were completely stunned to see what was happening. A few beautiful hostesses slapped themselves furiously in the face to make sure that they weren’t hallucinating.Nonetheless, it still felt like an illusion.Even Brodie, the so-called fair judge, was baffled. He couldn’t believe his eyes. Who was Matsuda?! He was the successor of the Six Schools of Martial Arts and the Abito Way! He was one of the top ten most outstanding people of his country’s younger generation!He could overwhelm anyone with his strength alone. He could take out entire crowds if he really wanted to!And yet, a pompous playboy took him out with great ease.It was way beyond anyone’s expectations!Blaine pulled out his phone, planning to get someone to look into Julian. The tables were about to be turned. He wouldn’t allow that at any cost!He then loo
Naturally, Nameless and the others wouldn’t give up that easily.On the other hand, the people of Golden Sands finally managed to win. They wouldn’t want the fight to be for nothing, either.Matsuda narrowed his eyes, and started wondering if he really had been careless. If he actually went all out, he was sure that a rich playboy like Julian would be no match for him.Pride, reputation, and the Bushido Spirit…These were only things to fool idiots.Julian looked on calmly, smiling serenely. To him, this was just an opportunity to test his strength. He finally managed to get the York family’s ancient scripture. Naturally, he had to perform his best.The referees frowned and exchanged glances. In theory, they could disregard the fight since the hostess hadn’t announced the start of it yet.In reality, anyone with proper eyesight could tell that not only had Matsuda already lost, but he’d also lose his life if Julian really wanted it. Restarting the fight would mean disrespect
Brodie was filled with righteousness.Those who didn’t know any better screamed in unison, demanding a rematch.Julian ignored Brodie and glanced curiously at Matsuda, as if he was ready to take action.“I’m talking to you, you bastard! Do you understand me?“Let Matsuda go right now!“If you don’t, if Matsuda even gets a scratch, we have the right to disqualify Golden Sands!”Nameless spoke up after seeing Brodie fearlessly standing up for him.“Elder Brodie! I think people who disobey the rules should just be killed immediately!“The fight just now obviously didn’t count!“If there aren’t enough enforcers here, I have plenty to spare!”Nameless clapped, and a few men in suits and firearms walked out with threatening grins.Seeing them being so shameless, Harvey decided to trample on them completely. “I told you already, Julian.“You should be quick and ruthless with your attacks! Show your opponents your power!“Don’t give them a chance to make excuses!“Come! Give th
Matsuda took a deep breath, then walked toward Julian. He held his breath and stared down at Julian. He didn’t hold back.He quietly waited to cut down Julian, so he could reclaim his lost honor.Julian looked listless and bored, as if the entire situation had nothing to do with him.The hostess stepped up, worried. After seeing Matsuda nod, she exclaimed, “Begin!”“Die!” Matsuda screamed in fury. The blade in his hand turned to lightning, charging right ahead without pause. The sound of a crashing wave and a beast’s roar was heard.It felt as if his blade had engulfed the whole ring.Ripples were even forming in people’s wine. It was enough to show just how terrifying of an attack it was.The beautiful hostesses were going limp in fear; their faces had completely lost all color. It was their first time seeing such an impressive being, after all!That said, Julian remained calm as he faced the attack. Everything he experienced in Hong Kong and Las Vegas had turned him fearl
Rumble…The hammer's power was unleashed at this time, and it was hurled at the enemy before it with a surge of lightning. Harvey calmly slammed it with his palm.Bang!Every time they clash with each other, an unimaginably powerful sonic boom would occur, causing the entire plaza to be struck with catastrophe.Bang!The ninth time the hammer was struck down, Harvey's expression turned dark and he side-stepped the attack. He instantly avoided a bolt of lightning and then slammed his palm right into Raiden's chest.There was a bang, and Raiden's body trembled before he was hurled away immediately. The electricity around his hammer instantly dissipated, and he crashed into an electric pole like a ragdoll. He looked flustered. He struggled to get up and wanted to take out the Royal Flush he hid under his belt, but Harvey instantly appeared next to him and kicked him.Bang!Raiden was once again sent flying through the air, falling to the ground together with his hammer. His bo
Harvey still didn't relax and continued to make a roll.Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!The assassins with the Royal Flush continued their attacks. Very quickly, all the assassins wearing their military uniform fell to the ground, dying with a peaceful look on their faces.This also proved just how powerful the Royal Flush was. That weapon could kill even the True Warriors of legends. The ordinary assassins didn't stand a chance.At this time, Harvey had already confirmed the location of the assassins using the Royal Flush. He immediately headed straight to the entrance and raised the repeating crossbows in his hand. Then, he aimed on top of a streetlight right outside the entrance and pulled the trigger.Whoosh!The masked man standing on the street light with the Royal Flush in hand couldn't react in time. He immediately let go of the Royal Flush in his hand. A dagger slid out into his hand and he immediately jumped right on top of the street light, heading straight for Harvey, the dag
The assassin who opened the door of the fridge couldn't even cry out as he felt a pang of pain in his neck before crumbling to the ground without making a sound.All the assassins were stunned. Before they could reach, Harvey's figure appeared and the knives in his hand began to dance. Blood splattered everywhere as a few more people slumped to the ground noiselessly.However, these assassins were indeed quite skilled. When they were ambushed, one of them managed to escape the room to call for help. As he did that, all the assassins scattered around the café instantly assembled in this location."Fire! Right now!"As if they knew just how powerful Harvey was, the people outside didn't care if the assassins inside were still alright. The moment they were in position, all of them raised the guns and repeating crossbows in their hand and pulled the trigger as they aimed into the kitchen.Harvey's expression was calm. He kicked on a steel trolley outward, then immediately took a step
When Jessica saw how Harvey glared at the assassins and gunners with dark eyes, her expression changed again. While she was considered part of Grand City and was also trained in martial arts, she knew she couldn't fight off so many people.She was not a King of Arms or a True Warrior. How could she stop an assault from so many sides? When the thought flashed through her mind, she held on to Harvey and said, "Harvey, if you can protect me and my family, I can tell you everything. Everything I did was ordered by Dan. Other than Dan, Emery is also part of this, and I have proof!"They have two objectives. They want you to become a permanent enemy of Sienna. They're going to even find a chance to make it look like Sienna ordered this and overtake her completely!"Harvey glared at the group and said, "I can understand why Emery wanted to overtake Sienna, since familial love is a joke in such wealthy families. But I thought Dan was courting Sienna. Why is he doing that?""Because Dan c
Jessica noticed that while Harvey was simply having a friendly chat, he had almost revealed all her activities when she was in Wolsing. She knew very clearly that once he told everything to the Wrights and the Yates, not only would they kill her, but they would also kill her entire family.Most importantly, he was able to easily deduce that Dan was behind her. That filled Jessica with horror. She was terrified by how direct Harvey was and knew everything that had happened.The last person that made Jessica feel like this…It was her employer, Dan. Just when Jessica was hesitating if she should sell Dan out, Harvey suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at the corridor not far away. Several kids were running around in the corridor. It was quite noisy, especially in a quiet atmosphere like this.Many passersby simply glanced at the children and didn't give them another look. But for some reason, Harvey felt like there was something wrong. Then, he smelled something like tobacco.
"Or maybe you're thinking that after working a little bit harder for a while, you'll be able to leave the country and live under the radar. Then, you can go to Country A and live the life you want? Your parents have already been sent over, right?"No matter what happens, Dan treats those who work for him well. But… There's something I don't understand. You're willing to leave your home permanently just because he treats you well? You're willing to give him your undying loyalty just like that? Is it worth it?" Harvey asked as he put his cup of latte down on the table with a curious expression.The ordinary young woman shuddered slightly before raising her head. She gave Harvey a look and said, "Are you talking to me, sir? Do we know each other?"Harvey smiled. "We don't, but I'm pretty sure you know me. Or should I say… It's exactly because you know me that you went to Country A and persuaded Royce to come to Wolsing. Whether it's the 150 million dollars given to Lilian or lying to X
The next day…What happened to Geraldton Hotel was being reported on the news. It was about how an underground criminal empire in Wolsing was being swept by the authorities. Harvey didn't expect things to go so out of hand. At the same time, he now knew that no matter what the Yates of Country A wanted to do, they wouldn't be able to make any moves in the short term after what happened.There was another rumor that Kyros alone had borne the brunt of the crimes for the Wright family. The Wrights of Wolsing had removed his name from the family and that was enough to settle things. They were also not part of the media report.It was easy for one to see that a compromise had been reached by all the factions involved. Otherwise, if the Wrights of Wolsing really wanted to get involved, no one could estimate how this would develop.Just as Harvey was reading the news, his phone buzzed. Yvonne's stern voice came from the other side. "Sir, I've managed to investigate everything clearly.
Just as Harvey was thinking about who was behind this, his phone suddenly started to buzz. He picked it up—there was only one message."Interesting," Harvey said with a deep smile as he read it. "It's George. After his investigation, the one leading the task force has a really clean background. However, when he was at university, he was fully sponsored by a charity fund belonging to the Jeans of Mordu."After his graduation, the speed he gets promoted is also much faster than his peers around the same age. No matter how I looked at it, someone had been giving him a boost. However, is this the result of Mandy going over to Purdue Mountain? It doesn't look like Zayden, as the patriarch of one of the top ten families, wants to calm things down…"Feels like he wants to make things even worse. How is this going to benefit the Jeans of Mordu?"Yvonne narrowed her eyes slightly. "At the very least," she said, "there are two ways they can benefit from this. Firstly, it's to clarify their
The next day.The estate in the third ring of Wolsing.Harvey had originally planned to go to Mordu at night when Mandy called him. She told him everything that happened in Geraldton Hotel had been settled. Zayden's side would make a move and demand a direct explanation from them for what happened.Harvey was quite shocked when he heard this.The leader of the Jeans of Mordu had been too discreet, so much so that this was the first time he heard about this name. But the problem was, Harvey didn't believe that the Jeans of Mordu who had been making things difficult for Mandy all this while would suddenly make a move without cause.However, Mandy kept on telling Harvey that everything was over. She would keep Xynthia in Mordu for a few more days. Once the dust had settled, she would then send Xynthia back to Wolsing.Hearing Mandy so confident with herself, Harvey decided not to say anything else. That being said, he still her Mandy that if anything happened, she must tell him imme
