“The hidden families and the Hermit Families were, in a sense, together.“They’re different from the newly rising top-rated families. They’ve all been surrounded by loom and gloom. It’s only natural for them to stick together,” the woman said calmly.“That said, old institutions die hard. This is why the waters here run deep.“Even forces from Wolsing and Mordu can’t infiltrate that easily!”People were praising the people of Golden Sands and Julian’s fighting skill, but…The mature-looking woman chuckled disdainfully. To her, a country bumpkin would always remain a country bumpkin. Small impressive moments wouldn’t change that.“There’s too much useless filth in such deep waters,” she said. “These people are just pretending to be strong in Golden Sands. If we’re outside the borders, I could crush them with one finger!”People from the top ten families would always flaunt their strength as they pleased. Even the Patel family was nothing to this mature-looking woman.“Don’t say
“For people like us, that much is just chump change…“But losing isn’t fun at all!”The young man cracked his neck, revealing a wretched expression.“You’re not as patient as your brother at all, Vaughn!” Kensley said.Vaughn looked like he was going to take action if Blaine approved it. Kensley seemed quite upset at Vaughn.“Are you teaching Young Master John how to do things?” she snarled. “Stop trying to cause trouble, Kensley.”Vaughn smiled. “Young Master John will never look up to you if you run your mouth like that.“You should just give up!“After all, the Thompson family and the Quinlan family are both from the top ten families. Our families will be happy if we get married together!”“You bastard…”Kensley was filled with utter disdain and rage.For people like them, love and marriage meant nothing. They were just into benefits.Blaine was destined to become the John family’s successor in the future.No matter how impressive Vaughn was, he still had a young ma
The fights that came afterward weren’t suspenseful at all. Without any strength to pressure Julian, Nameless could only get his experts to fight.He hoped to deal with Julian with sheer numbers. If that was the case, the Faceless Group would have a chance to win.It was a shame Julian was a completely changed man after obtaining the ancient scripture.He could mimic Harvey’s movements, sending anyone flying with a single slap to the face. His demonstration of pure speed was amazing, too.With power like that, he’d still seem impressive in everyone’s eyes no matter how lazy he looked.This was an age where strength meant everything.Seeing Golden Sands making such a strong comeback, Brodie was filled with resentment.He kept trying to look for faults, but that couldn’t change the fact that Julian took out every single one of his opponents with a single slap.In the end, Julian stood in the middle of the ring while smoking his cigarette calmly.Brodie’s face was ugly; he despe
In the crowd, Kairi slowly stood up.She raised her red wine glass at Nameless, smiling.“We’ll send a team of lawyers to deal with the procedures, Young Master Nameless.“I hope you’ll provide us with absolutely everything you have.“If there’s even a grain of rice missing, we’ll order an execution on you!“A prominent figure like you wouldn’t let yourself suffer over something so trivial, right?“Of course! What a great reminder, Kairi. I’ll thank you and your family for that!”Nameless glared coldly at Kairi as he said those words through the cracks of his teeth.He waved his hand, and strutted out of the place.Kairi smiled, then waved her hand. A few experts of Golden Sands followed Nameless out, planning to beat up him and his group in broad daylight.The referees all left right after getting their paychecks as well. The leader of the referees, Brodie, bumped shoulders with Harvey together with a group of Heaven Gate’s expert fighters trotting behind him.Harvey was
Harvey glanced at Julian.“Are you pretending to be an idiot or something?“He came here to force my hand.“He could charge me for assaulting a referee.“With that, the fight results will be immediately invalid.“They can even gun you down if they want to. Don’t believe me?”Julian held his breath, and looked around with narrowed eyes. As expected, there were people whose hands were on their waists. Some were ready to take off the safeties of their firearms.It was clear that if Julian or Harvey took action, the experts of Heaven’s Gate would have a plausible reason to fight back.This was the underworld. It was important always to have a just cause.If Brodie took action without regard for anything, he’d be showing his allegiance with Nameless and the Islanders. He’d be in deep trouble if that were to happen.Julian frowned after realizing that fact.“I didn’t think that old dog would be this sly…”Harvey smiled calmly.“It’s fine. Brodie wouldn’t let things end this way,
The air tensed up immediately. No matter how strong of a front Kairi put up, her face was still bright red.Harvey felt awkward as well.‘I came all the way here to help, and all you people care about is this? How unreasonable…’“Alright, enough! No matter the case, I’m still considered a citizen here. We’re all brothers, so it’s only natural that I helped.”Harvey smiled.“Besides, we only had to deal with a bunch of Islanders and traitors today. It’s really not worth mentioning at all.”Harvey’s confident words made Kairi and the others smile.Blaine was just about to head outside when he heard the conversation.Maisie glared at Harvey, filled with utter disdain.‘As expected from a country bumpkin! What a narrow-minded and prideful man, showing off when all he did was use someone else’s strength!’In Maisie’s eyes, Harvey had absolutely no talent. If he wasn’t lucky enough to have Julian by his side, he would’ve died by Brodie’s hands by now.‘How dare he say those things
“What?! Dreaming?”Amora swayed in shock. Her face had completely lost color.She was a top student. Normally speaking, people with this kind of condition were a little abnormal.Before she could rise to power, she desperately needed Brayan’s support.If Brayan lost control at this moment, forget rising to greater heights. The relatives who were interested in her position would rip her to shreds. They’d make her suffer the consequences of Brayan’s disorder.She would lose everything, and maybe turn into a prisoner in the end.Upon reaching this realization, Amora trembled so much that she almost passed out. The higher-ups in the video call looked at each other. Having heard news of Brayan’s odd disorder unintentionally, ideas filled their heads.Bam!Amora quickly hung up. She could only see darkness. The higher-ups in the call came from different factions of the Foster family. This meant that Brayan’s disorder was out of the bag!No doubt, a storm was coming to the Foster
After a moment, priests in uniform entered. A few of them waved their crosses around. Some even brought a grail filled with holy water, for Brayan to drink.A faint light could be seen on his forehead after that. He quickly regained his consciousness.Even so, the usually high and mighty Brayan was drenched in cold sweat. His entire body was shivering. It was clear just how much fear and pain he was dealing with.Amora was suddenly reminded of Harvey’s words.“He wouldn’t be able to sleep at night after three days.“After five days, he’d start having hallucinations during the day.“A week later, his limbs will be limp, as if he’s paralyzed.“A few weeks later, he’ll finally die of exhaustion.”Amora thought Harvey was just acting like a clown and said all that nonsense after his lies were exposed… She didn’t think that everything he said would be true!To her, geomancy arts were just things to fool the public.Her father’s condition was probably just a coincidence.However,
