Mandy froze. “Talk? About what?”“Talk about what?” The man intentionally froze, then screamed to the crowd.“Listen to this! What’s this tone?“While working for the company, my dad got into an accident and was brought into the emergency room!“We’re here talking to her about compensation, but she’s acting all oblivious about it!“Are us workers just ants to you capitalists? Are our lives worth nothing to you?“Don’t we not get a chance to speak after hurting ourselves for your sake?“Aren’t you even going to talk to us? Are we not human to you?“We’ll call the cops on you for this! We’ll get the government involved, too!“We want your entire company bankrupt!”The patients and their families standing not far away glanced at Mandy and the rest, curious. Some people got an idea about the situation, and started gossiping up a storm.Someone even took out their phones to take pictures. After all, the big fuss would no doubt turn into big news.Harvey frowned at the people who
“That’s right! Mr. Lee is the pillar of our family! We all rely on him to survive!“You think you can just get away with thirty thousand dollars? What are you thinking?! “Let me tell you something! Mr. Lee’s in bad shape right now!“If he wasn’t hurt, he could’ve kept working for thirty more years! You think you can just get away with not compensating for that?”Mandy was speechless. It was her first time seeing someone this unreasonable.A higher-up couldn’t hold his anger back any longer, and yelled, “Mr. Lee’s sixty-three years old! Even with the country’s regulations, he can only work until he’s sixty-five. When that happens, he’ll retire! He can’t even work for thirty more years!”Slap!“Stop yapping!”The man took a step forward and slapped the higher-up to the ground.“Why does that matter to you?!“Who do you think you are? How dare you get involved?!“In any case, none of you get to leave unless we have a deal!”Click!Right as Harvey was about to step up, the li
The man froze; he narrowed his eyes as he sized up Harvey.“What? Are you trying to save the damsel in distress? Who are you? Tell me your name!” he exclaimed, cracking his neck threateningly. “Let me see if you have the right to get yourself involved!”“I’m Mandy’s husband,” Harvey replied.“Husband?”The man froze again, then revealed a profound expression.“I know now! You’re the legendary live-in son-in-law!“I heard you’ve never even touched your wife’s hand after being married for three years!“You might as well slam your head to the damn ground for being a man like that!“You’re giving me another chance? Do you have the right? Are you worthy?”The man spat on the ground.“Come on then, you filthy piece of crap! I’ll give you a chance, too! I’ll let you go if you lick this up clean!“If not, you’ll pay your price!“I want your wife to pay for my dad’s life!”The man waved his hand, and his scoundrel-liked family members walked forward.There were some women among th
Mandy was worried. If she knew that all this was going to happen, she wouldn’t have brought Harvey with her.Without a second thought, she quickly ran and held Harvey’s hand.“Forget it, Harvey. Lift him up and apologize to him. We’ll just pay a little more, is all.”The man chuckled wretchedly.“Money isn’t enough, pretty lady!“I heard you have a sister as well! The conditions are different now!“I want you and your sister to sleep with me for a month! If not…”Crack!Harvey instantly snapped the man’s wrist by stepping on it.A loud crack resounded; the man rolled on the ground, wailing like a dying pig.The horrifying sight turned the entire place dead silent.Nobody expected Harvey to be so reckless.The incident turned into an assault almost instantly.Harvey would have to live his life behind bars if he wasn’t careful.Mandy and the Zimmer Enterprise would probably have to pay a great price just to deal with the situation.Simply put, the entire situation was made
Before Harvey could say anything, the man had already fanned the flames.“He did this, Inspector Braff!“I was just asking for a reasonable compensation for my dad’s death!“It’s already bad enough that he’s not paying! He even slapped me and broke my hand!“He said that the city belongs to him!“You need to help us ordinary citizens, Inspector Braff!“We’re relying on you!“You’re our living legend, after all!”After hearing the man’s distorted truth, Inspector Braff’s face darkened. He squinted at Harvey.“Are you a gangster, kid? You’re pretty cocky, aren’t you?“How dare you assault and harm this man! You’d have to be locked behind bars for at least three years with any of these charges!“You’re in the hospital right now! Your sentence will surely increase because of this!“That said, I’ll make sure to speak up for you if you stop this instant.”Inspector Braff pulled out a pair of silver handcuffs, and threw it right in front of Harvey.The man and his family grinned
Inspector Braff frowned, then waved his hand. Another inspector jogged to check the surveillance footage soon after.After a moment, he returned with a horrible expression and whispered something into Inspector Braff’s ear.Inspector Braff pondered the situation before sighing.“I really want to believe you, kid…“But it’s a shame. The footage didn’t do anything to help.“You don’t have proof.“I’m sorry, but you’ll have to come with us!”Mandy’s expression changed after hearing those words.“Inspector Braff! I can prove what Harvey said was true!“Not only did Mr. Lee ask for fifteen million dollars worth of compensation, he even demanded me to sleep with him for a night…”Mandy’s face was bright red, but she still explained the situation for Harvey’s sake.“Harvey stood up for me. You should forgive him.”Inspector Braff froze, then sighed again.“I’d really like to believe you.“But even if what you’re saying is true… Him saying that to you during a loved one’s death c
“That’s him,” Harvey replied.“If he’s not enough, then call Watson instead.“If he’s not enough, then call Eliel.“I’m sure they’ll guarantee I won’t do anything reckless or resist arrest in any way.“How does that sound?”Harvey shrugged casually.Inspector Braff and the other inspectors looked thunderstruck. They didn’t think Harvey would just name three people who could easily suppress them like that. Inspector Braff knew Harvey had a deep connection with the people he named without even making any phone calls.“What? You didn’t bring your phone?”Harvey smiled, and took his phone out.“Why don’t you have a listen here?”Slap!Inspector Braff took a deep breath before stepping forward and slapping the phone out of Harvey’s hand.“I don’t care who you are, nor do I care who you have supporting you!“But I’ll arrest the king himself if I have to!“Nobody gets to trample on the country’s dignity!“There’s still time if you come with me right now! If not, you’d have to
Vaughn had the aura of a rich playboy, but his white uniform made him appear quite refreshing.More importantly, the badge on his shoulder had one more line compared to Soren’s.Soren instinctively looked over, and his face darkened. “Inspection Division of the Royal Police Station?”Everyone looked at each other after hearing the unfamiliar name.The inspectors around Soren came to their senses, their expressions changing instantly.People from the Inspection Division had powerful authority. The division would usually remain extremely discreet. Their existence was almost never known.However, they had the right to govern the directors of each city’s police station. Simply put, they were the higher-ups breathing down the directors’ necks.“Good eye.”Vaughn casually pulled out his pitch-black credentials, and threw it in front of Soren.“It’s a good thing that you know.“Director Braff. For the sake of your massive family business and respect towards the Thompson family, I’
"I'll give you ten minutes to walk out of there without your clothes on! If you do that, I won't kill anymore of your bodyguards. If you're still not here in ten minutes, then I'm sorry, but the flames will consume you. I'll remember to visit you at your grave next year!" Sora laughed strangely after that.Everyone who heard his laughter could only feel a chill in their bones as they felt disgusted. Mandy's expression became even darker. She did not refuse him immediately, though. While she knew he was playing a game of cat and mouse, those ten minutes might just be enough to save them.-At the same time. Outside of the manor. Sora and his group of confidantes had already arrived at the entrance of the manor. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the terrace. After he waved his hands, his confidante spread out and sealed the remaining entrances.Next to Sora was a swordsman with a mustache. His eyes were full of spirit. It was obvious that he was an elite, the kind who could crush al
"Watch out!" It was at this time when Seven suddenly pulled Mandy over to the side, as his expression darkened. At the same time, one of the pieces of ballistic glass shook and fell on the floor. Then, bolts that seemed like rain stormed into the terrace, falling right where Mandy was standing.If it was not because of Seven's quick actions, Mandy might have already become a human pincushion. She was immediately covered in cold sweat. While she had personally grown and become a successful businesswoman, she had never been in many of these kinds of life and death situations.Whoosh!It was as if the people outside had noticed an opening, they continuously fired the Repeating Crossbow. As they did that, one of the bodyguards who could not dodge in time collapsed on the ground as he held his thigh. A bolt pierced through his thigh, and he immediately lost his ability to fight.Mandy quickly said, "Quick! Drag him over! It's too dangerous over there!"The two bodyguards trembled, and
"Ms. Mandy, you should run now! Run from the back! I can still hold them up for about 15 minutes!" Seven said in a bitter voice as he peeked outside from the door's gap from inside the manor. "If you don't, we won't be able to escape once they rush in. We're almost out of ammo. If we don't fight our way out, we'll all end up dead!"Mandy hesitated a little when she saw how Seven was becoming somewhat concerned and said, "Sure. We'll leave from the back door. But they're here for me. I can't escape. All of you should go and I'll cover you!"Mandy's expression was resolute. Seven was slightly stunned before saying, "Don't joke about something like that, Ms. Mandy. While I'm not one of your followers, but as a bodyguard of the Jeans of Mor'du, there's no way I can escape before you have safely retreated. If I do that, not only will I be unable to face the family, but I also won't be able to face myself and stay in this world!"All the bodyguards exchanged looks and said, "That's right,
The young man in the white suit was not that old. He was at least in his mid-twenties. However, his cheeks were somewhat red. It was obvious that years of excessive drinking and womanizing have left him too depleted for anything to be able to help him. But even then, he still looked in front with greed and obsession, as if wanting to push the woman in the manor to the ground and tear her apart.It was obvious that this man was the scion of the Origin Sword Style, Sora Yamamoto.Sora did not think much about the death of the Origin Sword Style elites. He did not even feel much about their death, as if their death had nothing to do with him."Sir, it's not that the woman is strong. It's the simple fact that no one expected her to have the Royal Flush with her… And she has plenty of it too. From the results of us testing her, the woman isn't saving the Royal Flush for something else when she had her bodyguards use them. I suspect that she had an unlimited supply of it.""You idiot!" S
"Too weak," Harvey sighed. In the next instant, he lifted his right foot and planted it on a broken piece of rock. Instantly, the rock shot out and headed straight to Sverker's throat. It was obvious that Harvey did not wish to leave the Origin Sword Style's number one elite alive."You fool…!" Sverker's entire soul was shuddering as he could feel Death coming for him. He let out a roar and all the energy within his body started to flow, wanting to use that to stop Harvey's attack. However, his thoughts were faster than he could act.The moment he wanted to fight back, he could feel the taste of blood in his mouth. The small rock had already pierced through his throat. In that instant, Sverker's thoughts instantly stopped as he lost the strength to struggle. Then, he collapsed on the ground just like that.There was anger, despair, and even doubt in his eyes.He could not believe that as an elite of the Origin Sword Style, as one of the few most powerful men in Sky Plane, how he en
When the palm strike was going to reach Sverker, Harvey changed his palm strike into a finger strike. He flicked his finger at the edge of the blade.Clank!"Gah!"Sverker seemed shocked as his body shook. There was even blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. He was in a terrible state as he took a few steps back."Mr. Sverker!" All the women cried out at the same time, with shocked expressions. They could not believe that not only did Harvey manage to easily block the legendary Three Slashes, but most importantly he was able to force Sverker some distance back with just the flick of his finger!He was beyond terrifying!"Damn you, kid! Do you think this is my full power?" Sverker's temper was at boiling point after the continuous failures as he gritted his teeth. "I will send you to Hell with all three slashes fused into one!""I better be the one sending you to Hell. I'm already bored with your sword technique," replied Harvey casually. Before Sverker could even attack,
"Your life is worth so little and you want to drag us along to hell? Who do you think you are? All of you are just the same! Selfish to the core!" the woman yelled at Harvey. It was clear that no matter what Harvey did, she wouldn't like it.Harvey glanced at her and said, "We can forget a moment about how your Mr. Sverker is the one who wanted to die alongside me out of shame and anger, let's talk about you. Who else can you blame but yourself by wasting time here instead of running? Not to mention, he can't do anything to me even if he can slash time and the universe."You have overestimated Sverker. He's nothing but trash. I simply wanted to see how powerful the Sword Style Origin's technique is." Harvey then gave Sverker a look. "But at this level, I can easily dispel it with just one strike.""You…" Sverker was so angry that he shuddered. He wasn't going to waste any more time. He gritted his teeth and once again slashed at where Harvey was standing."Timely Slash!"A
"Is that right?" Harvey asked the woman.He looked at Sverker's dark expression."Oh, he's being that nice? Why not give me a few more concessions? Why don't you go easy on me and miss all three slashes?""Damn you! Damn you all!" Sverker's expression turned dark by Harvey's snickering. He pounced forward again. In just an instant, he already appeared before Harvey. His body suddenly swayed and separated into eight afterimages; all of them instantly slashed from all eight directions."Earthly Slash!"Whoosh!As Sverker made that attack, a screeching sound filled the entire marsh. Sverker attacked Harvey like a flash of lightning. The moment the blade almost reached Harvey, a dreadful aura expanded from it, as if a black light was covering the surface of the blade.The attack seemed to have come from the depths of Hell itself, carrying the wrath of countless ghosts.Harvey's expression was cold as his fist turned into a palm strike, and he attacked straight ahead. His attack w
"Idiot!" Sverker smiled coldly as his figure flashed as he pounced forth like a bolt of lightning. The sword in his hand was immediately pulled out from its sheath, like a shooting star across the sky.Compared to the attack just now, this attack was simply and much more direct. There wasn't even much strength behind it. However, those in the know would know that an attack like this was the most powerful.Sverker believed he could easily kill Harvey on the spot."So what if you defeated all the six schools? So what if you defeated all the prodigies from Country I? So what if you defeated Mark?" Sverker smiled coldly as he attacked. "All the so-called True Warriors were joking to me… Because I am the one who kills True Warriors!" Sverker smiled coldly as he unleashed his first strike."Heavenly Slash!" A scarlet light suddenly flashed through Sverker's blade. Harvey raised his head; the attack that was going to split the sky had arrived. Before the blade even reached h
