“You know? What do you know?” Mandy replied angrily.“Blaine’s the young master of the John family!“He’s also Emery’s sworn brother! They’re really close!“Do you know who that is?“That’s the big boss’s son! If we’re in ancient times, then he’s a literal prince!“You’re going against someone like that, and you tell me that you know?!”Harvey shot her a playful smile. “The Braided Dynasty’s been dead for hundreds of years by now. That man’s no prince.”“Even if we don’t talk about that, don’t you know that the John family’s the only top-rated family in the entire city?”Mandy was infuriated.“Even your Kairi had difficulty dealing with the John family! You don’t actually think that you can go against them, can you?”Harvey smiled; right as he was about to say something, a horn could be heard not far away.The horn had always been the symbol of starting a war. The horrifying sound would make anyone freeze in fear.Harvey instinctively turned around.A group of people was s
The man with the horn froze upon realizing that the truth of the corpses was exposed. He started playing the horn faster.The corpses pounced right at Harvey.“The same trick won’t work twice.”Harvey stepped on a tile on the ground.Crack!It shattered into pieces, flying all over the place. The shards lodged right into the corpses’ throats.Small worms, invisible to the naked eye, started exploding.At the same time, the roaring corpses instantly went limp before falling to the ground, as if they had lost all strength.Harvey glared coldly at the man with the horn.Looking closely, he was the robed man with golden-rimmed glasses who followed around Cedric, constantly ridiculing Harvey.The man looked at the corpses lying all over the ground, his face a horrible expression.“Bastard! How dare you take out Young Master Cedric’s Iron Corpses?! Do you have a death wish?”The man twisted the bell of the horn, and a flurry of blue needles flew right at Harvey.Harvey narrowed
An hour later, at Golden Sands People’s Hospital.Harvey paced outside the emergency room with a stern expression, occasionally looking at the bright light at the entrance. He didn’t say a single word, nor did he try to rush anyone.Corpse Poison from the Seed Frontier was vicious. Harvey managed to seal Mandy’s arteries while also forcing most of the poison out of her body, but…Since she was just an ordinary person who took too much shock, she needed to be treated in the hospital.Mandy was probably safe, but he was still worried.He knew that if this wasn’t handled properly, there was a chance that Mandy would be crippled the rest of her life.“What happened here, you bastard?!“She was sent into the emergency room as soon as you took her away!“What did you do to her?!”Around half an hour later, Lilian and the rest of the Zimmers rushed all the way there.Before she tried to understand the big picture, Lilian was already blatantly insulting Harvey as soon as she saw him.
“That’s impossible,” Harvey replied.“I can assure you, Blaine’s involved. Your dear son-in-law’s trying to kill your daughter.”Lilian frowned, as if she was thinking of the possibility…But Aunt Witby burst in anger after hearing those words.“You’re trash! You’re insulting all the good people you’ve done heinous things to?!“Who do you think you are? How dare you slander Young Master John’s name!“Do you know who he is?“He’s the young master of the country’s top-rated circle! He’s a gentle and personable man who loves doing charity!“Have you no shame to slander such a man?!”Aunt Witby was infuriated.“This is Golden Sands! Do you know just how much trouble you’ll get yourself into for saying things like that?”“I don’t know about that,” Harvey replied. “I only know that everyone who did this to Mandy will pay!”Harvey suspected that Cedric did this out of jealousy, but…He could tell that the man with the golden-rimmed glasses had never laid hands on Mandy.This mea
Harvey went to Fortune Hall after leaving the hospital.Right as he entered, Darwin, Prince, and Shay rushed to the main hall with anxious expressions.Harvey frowned. Logically speaking, they were also from Heaven’s Gate and the Gibson family. Even the John family would have to show them respect.Something must’ve gone wrong.‘Did something happen to Quill?’“Is Quill fine?” Harvey asked without hesitation.Darwin quickly walked over.“He’s fine. It’s something else, actually.“The Lopez family, the Corpse Walkers, are here to challenge our branch!“Without the head, nobody’s here to take charge!“This is bad!“Rumors say that they sent an expert who’s halfway into becoming a God of War.“If we’re not careful, not only will the family’s name be tarnished, but so will Heaven’s Gate! It’ll be troublesome for Helm Gibson.“Sir York, should we accept the challenge or not?”—In the evening, on the road to the lakeside villa of Golden Sands’ branch of Heaven’s Gate.Harvey
Shay wouldn’t dare say anything more, since Harvey had already made up his mind.She sent her father a text when Harvey wasn’t looking, telling him to prepare himself. There was about to be a lot of trouble.Half an hour later, the car parked outside the entrance of a lakeside villa. The villa was surrounded by mountains and water. It was a place for Heaven’s Gate’s branch to attend to their important guests.To receive such grand treatment was testament to the Corpse Walkers’ ability.After getting out of the car, Harvey looked around the place calmly. Many mahogany coffins and funeral cars could be seen. It was a gloomy sight.The smell of formalin was in the air. Undoubtedly, the place had already been converted into the Corpse Walker’s domain.Many people in Kurbus clothing showed up quickly, as if they had sensed Harvey’s arrival. They looked at him with vengeful glares.From the crowd, a man in a wheelchair appeared. He was the same man with the golden-rimmed glasses who
Shay’s expression darkened. She knew the Corpse Walkers were shameless, but she didn’t know that it was to this extent.Not only were they causing Harvey trouble, but they wanted to force him to his death.More importantly, if they had reason to send more men here, Harvey’s death would definitely be in vain. Even the Gibson family wouldn’t get an excuse to fight back.At Talon’s screams, more people in Kurbus clothing showed up. Their skins were slightly dark, and their heads were raised up high, as if they were brimming with light.Even ordinary people could tell that they were expert martial artists.Seeing their arrival, Talon chuckled wretchedly.“The people of Heaven’s Gate are immoral!“We’re here to spar and exchange martial arts, but this bastard slapped me in the face because he doesn’t like us!“He thinks he’s the head of Heaven’s Gate just because he has the badge!“How dare he take advantage of us?!”Talon bit his tongue and spat out blood, acting as if Harvey had
“Silence!“Don’t you know that Young Master Cedric’s having a nap right now?“Do you people want to die?!”Another group appeared; they had slightly darker skin as well, but they were wearing ordinary clothes.The person in front was a middle-aged woman with a vengeful expression. She was one of the four top experts of the Corpse Walkers’ younger generation, Paloma Lopez.Paloma quickly went to the front of the crowd. As soon as she saw her junior with blood covering his mouth and a palm print on his face, her expression worsened.“What’s the matter, Talon?“You coughed up blood? Someone slapped you? “Who would dare do something like this?!”Paloma was furious; not only was Talon her junior, but he was also the one she cared for the most. After seeing him injured, it was only natural that she’d burst in anger.“You’re finally here, Paloma!“I thought the world’s completely lawless at this point!”Talon made sure to stay in character the entire time. He jumped into Paloma’s
Harvey smiled. "It's fine. But you do have to give me an explanation. Of course, if you can't, I'll get one myself."After that, Harvey could not be bothered with the same topic. He looked at the stone door and asked, "Why don't you introduce this to me?"Neve was slightly taken aback but still answered, "You know that Grand City does not belong in this world. In short, it exists in its own pocket dimension. It was said that Grand City's creator created this pocket dimension after he had achieved unison with Nature and before he stepped into the void."This is one of the few entrances into the Grand City, but it's the only entrance that everyone from the city can use. If you have the city's entry pass, then you can freely travel in and out. Of course, if your ancestry is rooted in Grand City, you can also use it."Harvey nodded. He was quite curious… When one reached the end of the path of martial arts and reached unity between man and nature, would one have this kind of power? Cou
No matter how Harvey looked at Vaida, he could tell she was no ordinary warrior. Her decisiveness and style proved to him that she was highly experienced in battles. He could even see some signs of her being in the military.Harvey was even more curious about Vaida's identity when he thought of that.But he knew it was not the time to think about such things. Harvey picked up a gun from the ground amidst the chaos and started to aim and shoot in front of him.If Vaida's attacks were all about affecting a wide area, then Harvey's attacks were all about accuracy. While he looked casual, whenever he pulled the trigger, an enemy would flop in a crumpled mess after each shot. The long-haired man could only watch with a dark expression.Despite bringing along an army of assassins with heavy firepower, his forces were being decimated."Darn it…!" The long-haired man let out a roar. "Deploy the heavy weapons!"Before he could finish yelling, he shuddered. There was disbelief in his eyes.
After eliminating Ruins and Ashes, Harvey did not waste another second, slammed his foot into a table, and sent it flying with a smile. Contrary to everyone's expectation, he did not leave the fire escape. Instead, he jumped out of a window and immediately ruined the long-haired man's plans.However, it was obvious that there were guards outside the window as well. As soon as they saw Harvey appear, the armed men were only slightly stunned before they aimed their guns at Harvey and pulled their triggers.Harvey immediately side-stepped, grabbed the fire extinguisher the cafe prepared for an emergency, and started spraying it all around him. Half the street was instantly covered in white as the bullets missed their marks, but several tourists who did not manage to escape in time were hit. The tourists cried, and it simply made the assassins even more aggressive.In just a short while, all these people would lose their lives.Harvey's eyes turned cold when he realized how nonchalant
However, before the Islander woman could swing her sword down, she could feel a sharp pain on her throat as a red dot appeared. Then, she could even feel all her strength disappear. She collapsed to the ground in disbelief, unable to make a sound. It was obvious that this woman could not understand how she was killed even moments before she died.The waiters and tourists only realized what was happening when they saw this moment. They screamed as they quickly ran toward the exits, throwing the entire Lucky Café into chaos. Harvey ignored all the chaos, picked up the sword from the woman's hand, and continued walking with a calm expression. At this time, a long-robed man and woman walked toward him among the crowds. Both of them looked quite strange. The man was missing an ear, while the woman was missing an eye. However, their energy signatures were terrifying, and they seemed very powerful."It's the Golden Triangle's assassin duo, Ruins and Ashes!""I heard the two could even de
While Hyperborea was a small city, as it was located on the nape of Snowdrake Mountain, it was also one of the most famous tourist cities in the country. Around 30 million travelers came to Hyperborea throughout the year, enriching their economies. However, it was somewhat difficult to manage the city.More than 90 percent of the population here came from other cities. So, it was going to be difficult to find anything about anyone.Besides being a tourist city, Hyperborea was also a location where people from all walks of life congregate.Harvey glanced around as he sat in the corner. He noticed that other than travelers, most of the people here were foreigners who spoke with foreign accents. Many of them carried firearms in secret, and some were obviously trained in martial arts. This place was destined to be different from other cities.While it was a tourist city on the surface, this place hid an entire underworld.'No wonder Grand City set its entrance in a place like this. It
After what Vaida had said, Harvey had no choice but to unlock the door. However, when Vaida glanced at the rear-view mirror, she said, "You get down!"Harvey had no choice but to shrug when being aimed with the repeating crossbow and got out of the driver's seat. Vaida quickly drove on the mechanic's truck and left like the wind. Shortly, several Toyota Prados appeared once more and headed straight toward the truck.Harvey looked at the scene and narrowed his eyes, seeming to be in deep thought. Then, he pulled out his mobile and dialed Geoffrey's personal number.When Geoffrey answered the call, he curiously asked, "What is it, friend?"Harvey replied with a smile. "Hello, Geoffrey. I'm supposed to be the mayor of Grand City, but the second I've arrived in Hyperborea, assassins are already here to kill me. And the person who wants to kill you and me is the same person.""You're in Hyperborea?" Geoffrey's voice became tense. "Who's the one who wants to kill you?""Ellena," stated
But just because Harvey was knowledgeable, it did not help. Several other plateless Toyota Prados drove in. All the windows from the passenger's side had been rolled down, showing individuals wearing military uniforms with heavy weapons in their hands.Harvey cursed as he immediately scouted around, thinking what he could use at a time like this.Vaida gave Harvey a look and showed off the repeating crossbow in her hand, then she quickly aimed and pulled the trigger.Whoosh!Silver bolts of light were fired at the cars, immediately piercing the Toyota Prados drivers. Then, there was an explosion. The Prados instantly turned into balls of fire as the vehicles were blown up.Harvey clicked his tongue. "These must be the legendary Thunderblasts. These are nice… They are more powerful than your usual weapons."Vaida coldly exclaimed, "Stop wasting your breath and start driving!"Harvey smiled and immediately hopped into the mechanic's truck and rammed through the chain fence surroun
Just when Harvey did not know how to respond, Vaida suddenly walked into the cockpit from behind. First, she glared at Harvey, then responded with Ellena's solemn voice. "It's done."When the person heard this voice, it was obvious that the man heaved a sigh of relief. "Land the plane on the last runway near the edge, then retreat immediately. Remember, don't leave any unfinished business behind. Our conversation is over." Then, the tone became engaged before it was completely cut off.Meanwhile, Harvey quickly took control of the plane's yoke and landed the plane successfully on the runway. The plane landed successfully. However, with one look outside, he suddenly frowned and said, "Something's not right. Go!"Then, Harvey dragged Vaida along with him and ran to the plane's emergency door. He opened the door and immediately jumped out.At this time, all the passengers in the first-class cabin finally got hold of themselves and started screaming and yelling. Instantaneously, the en
All the other passengers could only watch the sudden turn of events with mouths agape. It was as if they could not believe just how terrifying Vaida was. Even Harvey narrowed his eyes. He already knew that Vaida was a powerful martial artist and one that was close to losing control. But only now did he realize that the woman was trained in the legendary Basilisk Palm.It was a unique martial art from the tribes. While it was not exceptionally powerful, it was extremely venomous. Just one strike could make an elite like Ellena from Servitas lose power and control of her body, explaining just how terrifying this technique was.Before Harvey could say anything, Vaida had already picked up the revolver on the ground and immediately fired at her arms and legs. Then, she dislocated Ellena's jaw, making sure that Ellena could not kill herself no matter what.Vaida's directness made Ellena's eyes filled with rage. She could not believe that she still lost despite being in a situation wher
