Cedric gave the order calmly.If this was Kurbus, he was certain he wouldn’t need to do so much to kill a person.Harvey was the representative of the Patel family and the six Hermit Families, as well as the acting head of Heaven’s Gate. It was only natural for Cedric to call for backup.After Harvey killed and hurt so many people, he would need to pay the price!Not only would Cedric be able to take out Harvey, but he could also use the opportunity to attack Penny’s pride and get a chance to be with her.Upon hearing Cedric’s command, experts in Kurbus clothing appeared from everywhere. Some were standing on walls and trees. Others were hidden in the shadows of the building. They all bore grim expressions, as if they could kill a person at any moment.Aside from them, there were also many security guards with firearms blocking Harvey and Shay’s path, all of them looking fierce.Sounds of coffins being opened were heard as well. The Corpse Walkers were planning to use their grea
Cedric and the others’ expressions changed slightly.Nobody thought Harvey would be this disrespectful toward Elodie.‘She’s trying to help him!‘Why is he being so ignorant?‘Does he have a death wish?’A few expert Corpse Walkers cracked their necks as they stepped forward. They were a lot more powerful than the previous Corpse Walkers. They felt confident enough to take out Harvey.“Hold on, Young Master Cedric. No matter the case, he’s still the Jean family’s live-in son-in-law! Give me a chance, I’ll convince him!” Elodie said, as soon as the experts stepped out.In reality, she wanted to trample on Harvey even more.Cedric nodded with a faint smile, and watched with curiosity. Elodie took a step forward with a righteous expression.“I know you’ve already given up on yourself, Harvey!“You’re challenging Young Master Cedric just to show off your worth!“You’re desperately trying to get Mandy to stay with you!“But you need to know that no matter how impressive you ac
“You little bastard! Do you want to die?!”Even at this moment, Harvey was still flaunting his strength. The elder was furious to see it.“Is your ego too much to handle? If you keep insulting Young Master Cedric like this, I’ll kill you myself!” he roared. “You’re really not scared to die, huh?” Harvey sighed, and swung the back of his palm forward.Slap!The elder was sent flying, and covered his face in disbelief. He couldn’t believe Harvey dared to do this to him.Cedric took a step forward, narrowing his eyes. “You’ve got guts, Harvey! To do this right in front of me, do you have a death wish? You…”Slap!Harvey slapped Cedric to the ground; he couldn’t be bothered to talk to Cedric anymore.“Are you only going to give me a proper explanation after I take action?”Everyone was shocked. They were filled with utter disbelief, mind blown. Harvey seemed very casual as he swung his palm forward…However, he had slapped Cedric, of all people!Nobody thought he’d dare go
“Impressive! You’re more impressive than I thought!”Cedric was an experienced man.As soon as he came to his senses, the rage on his face was instantly replaced by a brewing murderous intent.“I’ve seen a lot of rich playboys back in Kurbus, I’ve seen young masters in Wolsing, and I’ve met a lot of so-called rich families abroad as well…“But I have to admit, it’s my first time seeing someone as arrogant and suicidal as you.“Not only did you miss out on the chance Elodie tried to give you, but you’ve made me furious as well.“Did you know? People who anger me will suffer quite a bit.”Cedric pulled out his cigar, lit it up, and took a deep drag.“You’ll have to pay for this. At this point, it’s useless for you to regret your decisions.”Harvey smiled faintly. “Since you’re so impressive, why don’t you show me what you’ve got?“Let me see just how powerful you are!“Let’s see if you can scare me off!“I’ll tell you this right now, I’ve destroyed many scumbags every singl
“The times have changed. I didn’t think a nobody like you would dare to go against Young Master Cedric!”A figure came out of the courtyard; he looked like a man in his thirties, dressed in ordinary clothing. He didn’t have striking features, but a terrifying aura could be felt on him.The Corpse Walkers were exhilarated when they saw him.“You’re here, Mr. Gepard!“Quick! Take out this bastard here! He’s defying the Corpse Walkers!“With a rare talent like yours, nobody else can compete!”He was the man most likely to become a God of War of the Corpse Walkers’ younger generation. He was more powerful and terrifying compared to the second elder, and was also Cedric’s strongest guard.With Gepard, Cedric believed he could do whatever he pleased in the Forbidden City.“Harvey, right? I’ve seen your files. You’re impressive, but you’re not enough to defeat me.“I don’t care if you’re in the right or not. All I know is that you’ve provoked Young Master Cedric.“He’s in a bad mood
Gepard thought Harvey was scared after seeing his moves.“Now you’re scared!” he exclaimed, casually crossing his arms. “Don’t waste my time! I like being straightforward. Kneel, or die!”“You don’t know how strong Mr. Gepard is, Harvey!” Elodie said, pretending to be concerne for Harvey.“It’s said that he went up against ten expert martial artists at the same time, and won! He’s invincible!“He killed many Corpse Walkers who defied him, too! You better know what’s good for you!“Listen to me! Kneel already!“I’m telling you this for your own good!”“Well? Are you kneeling or not?” Gepard demanded arrogantly. “Are you? If you make me take action…”“You have no right to that.” Harvey immediately cut off Gepard, infuriating the latter.At the same time, he didn’t waste any time and took a step forward, swinging his palm toward Gepard. Speed was the only way to long success.Harvey’s slap seemed powerless and slow…“How dare a mere son-in-law even go against me?” Gepard spat w
“If you anger him…“He’ll make you suffer with just a single word!”Gepard chuckled coldly.“I’m so scared!” Harvey said mockingly.Sensing Harvey mocking him, Gepard laughed angrily. “You truly are an ignorant man, Harvey! Don’t you know what the Martial Arts Alliance means?“If we only talk about something recent, Representative York led the country’s Martial Arts Alliance and became one of the directors of the world’s Martial Arts Alliance!“Do you know how impressive Representative York is?“Well, my teacher is his right-hand man!“I’m basically a rising star to him!“If you go against me, you go against my teacher!“You’d be offending Representative York and the Martial Arts Alliance! You’ll be going against the country’s martial arts world!“You’re dead!”After hearing Gepard’s words, the Corpse Walkers glared at Harvey righteously.They all knew how impressive of a man Representative York was.Not only did he take down the arrogant Indians, but he also took contr
Pffft!Gepard spat out blood and slammed to the ground, his body twitching. He mustered his strength to get back up, but to no avail.His expression changed, and he screamed in anger, “What did you do to me, you bastard? What did you do?!”Harvey wiped his fingers with some tissues, not even raising his head.“You’re a martial artist yourself. Can’t you tell? You’re a cripple now. Live the rest of your life in a wheelchair.”“What?!”Gepard’s expression changed instantly. He desperately tried to stand up to fight Harvey to the death. Just as he was about to stand, he fell to the ground again. His body ached all over.Not only did Harvey cripple his martial arts, but he also severed Gepard’s connections to his veins. From then onward, he wouldn’t be able to lift even a single finger.“How dare you cripple Mr. Gepard, you bastard?”The Corpse Walkers were enraged; they pointed their firearms and crossbows right in Harvey’s direction.“Do you know what you just did, Harvey? Do y
Janus ignored the handprint on his face, and said loudly, "You're right, Mr. Emery! Someone like me who can't even succeed on his tasks deserves to be hit!"Emery sighed. "Janus, since when have I punished you for failing your tasks? Have you ever slacked off when I told you to do something?"Janus replied decisively, "I've always given it my all when I perform my duties!"Emery said, "Since you did your best, it doesn't matter whether you succeed or fail. You will always be one of mine. Humans make plans and the gods laugh, after all. If I can't even take something as small as this, what kind of a leader am I?"However, it's also true that you have failed. It won't be just if I don't punish you for your failure. Those who succeed will be rewarded, while those who fail will be punished. Let's see… I own an estate in the Summer Isles, located in the P Ocean. No one has managed it for a long time now."My punishment for you and your men is that you must all head to the Summer Isles
"I am disloyal for not being able to bear my master's burden when I am a retainer. I am unjust for not being able to alleviate my master's misery when I am a follower. And I have simply made even more mistakes when I accidentally let news of this slip out, and all the media have come to witness this when I'm begging for forgiveness…"In other words, everything that has happened right now is because of me! I've come to beg for forgiveness when I'm scared of accepting my punishment because I've failed! And what I did right now has caused Mr. Emery even more problems!"I have sinned!" Janus yelled; his face was filled with sincerity, and each word he uttered was laced with pain. If Harvey hadn't known that Tyson and his men had left Janus and co there, he would have thought everything Janus said was genuine.When even Harvey could be deceived by such an act, everyone else believed everything that Janus had said. At this time, everyone who was kneeling yelled, "All of us have erred!
"Really? Is Janus that loyal to me?" Emery laughed. "If that's true, I won't let those loyal to me weep or bleed. Unfortunately, he'll need to suffer a little more. Some things just won't work as well until a bit of time passes. Go and hint at Janus that he and I will be a king and retinue…"…A short while after Harvey had met up with Vaughn, George sent Harvey a message. It included a picture of Janus and his men lying in front of the Wright residence, as well as many reporters appearing.George only wanted to report this to Harvey, but after Harvey had seen what was happening, he immediately made his way to the Wright residence. He looked at the chaos slowly unfolding in front of him with great interest.Moments after he had arrived, black vans appeared not that far away. Many powerfully built men in black suits got out of the vans with sorrowful expressions. They kneeled on one knee in front of the residence.Janus and his men had all been helped up after their injuries ha
While Harvey and Vaughn forged their alliance, Betty's phone started to vibrate as she was at the Wright Manor. Once she picked up the call and listened to the report, she couldn't care less about the rules and rushed into Emery's study immediately. "We have a situation, Mr. Wright! It's Janus and his men! Janus and the core members from his branch have all been crippled! While I have no proof that it's Harvey, I highly suspect that it's him or his men."The worst part is, someone left Janus and his branch in front of your estate! Many have noticed this, and some of the reporters are already heading this way. We need your orders, Mr. Emery!"Betty looked distraught. Emery's right-hand man had been crippled and left right in front of his residence. It wasn't a simple humiliation tactic—it was a psychological challenge aimed at him. Betty knew just how cold Emery was. She was worried he would make the wrong choice, which could lead to undesirable consequences.Emery, who was in
Even though Vaughn was making a fuss, Harvey paid the former no mind. He picked up the last piece of mini tart from the stand and stuffed it into his mouth. He burped and then narrowed his eyes at Vaughn, smiling. "Vaughn, why can't you understand something so simple when you're now one of the scions with the highest chance to lead your family?"You need to stay calm when something important happens. If you keep on yelling in front of me, other than showing me just how anxious and indecisive you are, it's completely useless," he said, picking up his cup of coffee."You have some understanding about me, so I'm going to be straight with you. I don't care what Hector did in the past, but ever since I was in Wolsing, he kept plotting against my ex-wife and even planned to pin the blame on me. I believe killing him is a fitting retaliation."I'm very busy right now. It gets very annoying when a fly is buzzing around me all the time. Of course, the official records stated that Hector at
Gate Pavilion, Wolsing.A tiered stand displaying an assortment of pastries stood in front of Vaughn accompanied by a pot of hot coffee, its strong fragrance permeating the air. However, Vaugn had no appetite at all despite the tasty snacks in front of him. Harvey, who was sitting in front of him, had his full attention.Harvey sat opposite Vaughn, enjoying the pastries and coffee. "The food here is quite nice, Vaughn. I wouldn't have come here myself. Normally, I prefer to get something from the streets. If it isn't because I'm expecting a guest like you, I wouldn't have booked this private room that needs a minimum spending of 1,000 dollars."The corner of Vaughn's eye twitched. He then said coldly, "Enough with the chatter. You should know that if I tell the Thompsons that you're here in Gare Pavilion, hundreds of men would appear to try and kill you."Harvey… Just how brazen can you be? How dare you kill Hector! Don't tell me you really think that as one of the top ten fami
The Thompson family manor used black and white as the main decorative colors.All the Thompsons, as well as those in charge of huge corporations and companies, arrived at Wolsong from around the world.They were astonished by Hector's death. However, it also opened opportunities for many ambitious family members. Originally, the one who would oversee the Thompson family had already been decided. All everyone needed to do was to become obedient followers. Now that an opportunity had presented itself, everyone wanted to find a way to rise.The Thompson family manor was located within an estate in the countryside. At this moment, Vaughn from the main branch got out of a Bentley sports car. Just as he was about to go through the entrance of the estate, a black Toyota Alphard slowly approached him and flashed its light at him.Vaughn frowned. He looked at the car plate silently.Very quickly, the Toyota Alphard stopped right next to him. An indistinct man, one who couldn't be recog
Harvey looked at the short-haired woman."Do I need to repeat myself? Emery's name means nothing to me. Alright, now that I'm done with Janus, it's your turn right now. Are you going to do it yourself? Or should I have my men do it instead?"Harvey then pulled out his phone and dialed a number. Very quickly, Tyson led his men inside and started to clean up the estate. After giving Harvey a salute, he then took Janus and the others away.Harvey could tell that Tyson and his men were becoming more and more professional."Sir, I've just received news that Emery had left Pamela's home half an hour ago. He's probably the one who arranged for Janus to be here, but according to his personality, he didn't care much about the details—only the results. And the result he will get this time is going to disappoint him very much," George said."Also, Hector's funeral is confirmed to be three days later," he added. He had entered the estate shortly after Tyson and his men left to report his fi
The bullet was going to hit Harvey right in the forehead, but Harvey couldn't even be bothered to look at it and simply raised his left hand. His index and ring finger came together. There was a screech as he caught the bullet with his fingers, smoke still surrounding them.He simply stood there, his expression still the same as before. Meanwhile, Janus' expression darkened."This is nice. Unfortunately, you can't bring out its full power," Harvey said as he looked at the bullet between his fingers. Then, he threw the bullet in Janus' direction.The bullet made a whistling sound as it glided in the air like a bolt of lightning. It was surrounded by an aura so powerful that it was able to consume the very heavens.The short-haired woman subconsciously cried, "Run, boss!"Janus had a very dark expression on his face. As an elite warrior, he knew very clearly there was no place for him to run in a condition like this. If he would get hit no matter where he went, then the only chanc
