“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
