Charlize was overjoyed; she believed she could regain her pride back through this. A man in his nightgown walked down the spiral staircase just as she was about to make the call. There were a few subordinates following him, but he was stubborn enough to walk on his own instead of relying on others.He was none other than the high and mighty head of the Foster family, Brayan.A man from the top-rated circle of the entire country would naturally have his own pride and dignity.“Father!” Amora rushed forward, and took his hand.Charlize and the others kneeled; they were shivering in fear, too afraid to make a single sound.Brayan sat casually in his chair, and took a sip of his black tea before finally speaking up.“It’d be embarrassing if we called the royal court for such a trivial matter.”Naturally, Brayan managed to keep himself under control with Mr. Davis’s help. He was holding a cross in his hand. For the time being, his expression was back to normal.“Father, I’m planni
While the Foster family pondered on whether they should wait for a few more days or not…Under the Indigo Mountain, an ancient manor beside the Hulroy Lake was brimming with lights. The place seemed to be destroyed after a huge battle; smoky trails could be seen all over.Looking closely, many bodyguards with firearms could be seen standing in the shadows of the building.The howling night winds made everyone shiver. In the deepest parts of the manor was an old-looking villa, decorated extravagantly on the inside.A fire burned brightly in a European-style fireplace.A massive round table was set in the middle of the hall. There were a few people leaning on a big, comfortable Italian couch. Blaine wasn’t present, but his associates were. They were all people who worked under Vaughn.Vaughn was playing with an ancient vase, making sounds of approval, as if he was interested in it. In front of him was none other than Nameless, sitting cross-legged, clad in a white suit.Two of
Vaughn grinned when he heard the killing intent in Nameless’s words.“As long as you’re happy with the documents provided.“Right! Young Master John told me something.”Hearing that Blaine was mentioned, Nameless slowly sat up straight despite his high and mighty attitude. “What is he asking?”“He said that the John family has suffered some losses recently, and they seem to all be connected to Harvey.“He’d only embarrass himself if he went against Harvey, who has a high status now.“It’d be better if you do it instead. He could clean up for you after that.”It was clear that Vaughn’s words had a different meaning; he sounded quite encouraging.Nameless froze. Then, he smiled.“I’d just be dealing with some bugs for Young Master John, anyway. It’s just business between us.”“It’s better to be more open-minded. You should know, Young Master John’s strength in the city isn’t something you can imagine.“The Patel family and the six Hermit Families, they’re all just worthless tr
“Not only are they strong and ruthless, but they’re all Kshatriyas of India as well!“Not a lot of people here has the guts to lay a finger on people like them.“After all, it’d cause an international dispute!”Nameless was proud.Vaughn was shocked by what he heard.“How unexpected! I didn’t think Mr. Faceless could get such people here.“Other than the John family, nobody else can suppress the Rakshasa Monks!“Kshatriyas could trample on so many people!”Nameless felt proud after hearing such praise.“Aside from that, I contacted the Abito Way as well. The outer elder was furious after hearing that his outstanding disciple was killed by such a despicable man.“Three experts of the Abito Way are on their way here after the outer elder told them to seek justice!”“Evermore, the Abito Way, and the Celestial Temple’s Rakshasa Monks…“With all of these people, Harvey and Julian are as good as dead.“Not just them, but I’ll trample the Patel family and the Hermit Families to t
While Vaughn and Nameless were having a heart-to-heart talk, Harvey received a video call in Fortune Hall.Kairi, on the other side, was wearing a short skirt. Her long, alluring legs could occasionally be seen. Even with Harvey’s strong willpower, he couldn’t help but be impressed by Kairi’s ability to lure him from afar. Sensing Harvey’s odd expression, Kairi smiled proudly before sipping some tea. “I called you for something important, Sir York.”Harvey gestured for Kairi to continue.“We kept a close eye on Nameless and the rest these past few days.“Evermore wouldn’t just give up after their loss here.“Blaine hasn’t taken any action, but Vaughn has visited him three times. Every time, he’d stay for at least three hours.“Judging from this, we can tell that even the Thompson family is probably involved with Evermore.“Also, there have been quite a lot of new faces entering the city. These people have one thing in common: they’re all martial arts experts.“They didn’t t
“According to the information we have, Faceless is still secluding himself abroad.“Apparently, he’s still trying to become a God of War and hasn’t come back because of that.“He did call three of the Celestial Temple’s Rakshasa Monks to Golden Sands. Not only are they Kshatriyas of India, but they also studied under one of the Three Great Monks, Julio Garcia.“After he defeated Dean Cobb, the South Sea’s God of War, his name spread far and wide. His disciples are naturally no pushovers while they’re riding his momentum.“I suspect that these Rakshasa Monks are leagues above the top fighters of the Island Nations’s younger generation, too. “These people stayed in Nameless’s manor as soon as they arrived. They might have received a price on their deal by now.“Other than that, the Abito Way has been taking action as well. Some of Matsuda’s associates from the same school have terrifying strength and skill. “Their swordsmanship is nothing short of immaculate.“These people have
Harvey shook his head.“You don’t have to. You’re in a deeper mess than I am. I can take care of myself.”Kairi smiled.“My dear Sir York, this isn’t about needing to do things. This is about our attitude.“Our enemies will naturally wait and see our reaction after leaking such information.“Do you think they’d come for you that easily if we didn’t send anyone for your protection?“They’ll only take action if they’re confident in completing the mission, despite the difficulty we set up.“If they see that it’s too easy to get to you, they might think we’re setting up a trap. If that’s the case, they might not proceed with their plan.”Harvey was completely speechless.“You’re just trying to use me as bait at the end of the day, right?”Kairi blinked.“What are you saying, Sir York?” she asked gently.“I’m sending my trusted subordinates to you for your sake!“The Patel family asked Heaven’s Gate to bring up a group of expert fighters, too.“We spent a lot of money to get g
The next day, everything went on as usual. A hundred number plates were handed out to the customers.With Harvey’s lead, work went on at a steady pace.When it was dinnertime, Leona got off from work and prepared a meal for Harvey.She was cooking roasted chicken, using a recipe that recently blew up on the internet. Aside from the freshness of the meat, the taste felt quite like an old home.For someone like Leona, who grew up in a city since childhood, making this was a rare experience.Harvey had experienced quite a bit; he had already tasted all sorts of things in his life. While he was leaning on his chair with a smile, he’d occasionally give pointers for Leona to improve.Kellan, Cliff, and the others went somewhere else to have their meal, as if they were giving Harvey and Leona space. Even Julian was dragged out of the place.Harvey could only smiled bitterly against such a plan.The others must’ve known about his divorce. That was why they were trying to help.Even so
