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
The gentleman froze before he let out a cold chuckle.“Not bad, kid. You’re pretty smart.“Then again, you should know that smart people usually die quickly…“You know too much. You have no other choice but to die.”The gentleman squinted around him.He thought Harvey York had already set up an ambush, but he was only sitting still while waiting for his demise.Thank goodness for him.“I know quite a bit…“But I’ve never been one to seek death.Harvey steadily wrote something on the piece of paper…“Through all the ups and downs, the sun will still rise nonetheless.”Those words were filled with a hint of malice and endless dignity. A single glance would stupefy any ordinary person.“Keep pretending!The gentleman was filled with disdain after seeing Harvey’s actions.“There’s only one thing left for you to write, your damn will!“How will you write it?“I should remind you! You should just donate your stuff to an orphanage!“Young Master Nameless will come for your en
“Call the cops?!The gentleman sized up Leona Foley before letting out a cold chuckle.“You’re just a little b*tch who can do nothing but seduce the men around you!“Call the cops then if you want!“I’ll chop my head off just for you if the cops even do your bidding!“Do you think I’d just show up without preparing myself?!“Beautiful women like you really are stupid, huh?!“Useless filth!”The gentleman started cackling.Leona showed a horrible expression when she turned on her phone while gritting her teeth.She realized there was no signal around the place.Naturally, those people had already jammed the signal before showing up.They had made every single preparation they could.After seeing Leona’s despaired look, the gentleman spotted a smile as he waved his hand.“We don’t have that much time!“Send them their way!”Almost a hundred men slowly unsheathed their swords simultaneously.They took small steps as they inched closer, mustering their energy while showing
The gentleman frowned at the sight.“It’s just an illusion! Don’t be scared! Go!“Kill them! They’re finished!”A few men leaped in the air while gritting their teeth.Leona Foley frowned when she flicked the cinnabar in the air.Fwoom!The air lit up in flames. The men who pounced forward were horrified by the sight before they were completely blinded. They were wailing in pain nonstop when they crashed onto the ground.Before the others reacted, Leona quickly became accustomed to the situation. She quickly waved her cinnabar in the air again, conjuring a flame wall.“Aaagh!”A dozen men were trapped by the wall. They were rolling on the ground while screaming, hoping to extinguish the fire caught on them.In just a few seconds, the place was a giant mess.Bam!The gentleman’s expression instantly changed when he saw a piece of paper flying right toward his face. He retreated as quickly as he could before falling flat on his face.What a miserable sight.There were only
The others also quickly pulled out their hunting firearms with fierce gazes.Naturally, they did not want to use such weapons if they could…But they would not mind filling Harvey York with holes since he wanted to die so badly!“Do it!”The gentleman waved his hand and gave the order. He could not be bothered to spout any more nonsense.The look on his face was as pompous as it could have gotten.Swoosh swoosh swoosh!Howling winds were heard outside at this very moment.The men’s throats, hearts, and other spots on the men were blood red.They all fell to the ground, with resentment on their faces.Some of them were struggling on the ground but to no avail.The men were all incapacitated!In under a minute, the killers that the gentleman brought were all done for!The gentleman’s eyes were twitching constantly. He instinctively looked back, trying to figure out what happened.Dozens of figures could be seen standing on the walls.A twenty-seven-year-old woman with a pr
