Harvey held his phone up with a small smile.“Of course there is.“These people here wouldn’t lay a single finger on me.“Your fake power will be stripped away soon enough!”Kensley laughed coldly.“Stop pretending, Harvey!“Your own ignorance is making you naive!“What’s that? You’re going to remove me from power?“Are you even worthy?”Harvey chuckled. “Seeing you acting this impressive, I wonder if you’ll stay the same later…”“Keep pretending!” Kensley scoffed. “Do you think you can do anything to me? Let me tell you something! If you could actually do something like that, I’ll even strip just for you!”Harvey smiled. “I’m sorry, but I’m not interested in you at all.”“You…” Kensley was shivering in anger.Harvey calmly dialed a number, then turned on speaker mode. An old yet dignified voice could soon be heard from the other side.“This is the Martial Arts Alliance’s office. What seems to be the problem?”“I don’t care who you are, but I’m Harvey…” Harvey began. “I
“That’s right!”Cedric clapped, a smile on his face.“The Corpse Walkers sincerely came here to look into investments, yet this nobody trampled all over us!“We need someone like Ms. Kensley to protect us and uphold justice!“Don’t worry! We’ll visit the Martial Arts Alliance ourselves later.“The Corpse Walkers are a family of martial artists! Surely, they’ll show their respect to us!“Nobody can remove Ms. Kensley from her position!”Naturally, it’d be best for Cedric if Kensley took out Harvey on her own.Not only would the problem be solved permanently, but Cedric’s relationship with Blaine would also deepen.“Harvey…”Kensley took a deep breath, and hung up the call. She glared coldly at Harvey.“Forget the representative of the Gangnam Martial Arts Alliance, I won’t give in even the leader calls!“Since you dare hurt the Corpse Walkers and ruin the city’s interests, you’ll have to pay the price!“Besides, I have a good relationship with Longmen as well!“Let me tell
“Goddaughter? Kensley?”Justin’s eyes twitched.“I would never do that to you, Sir York! You know me!“I’ll agree to let my own daughter be your mistress if that’s what you want!”Harvey’s expression darkened. “Enough of that nonsense!”Justin coughed.“Kensley calls herself a direct descendant of the Quinlan family, but she’s just a bastard!“She doesn’t have much status in the family. If she does, she wouldn’t be siding with Blaine!“Blaine was the one who got her to be my goddaughter in the first place.“Don’t worry! If that bitch uses my title or Longmen’s name to take advantage of people outside, I’ll make sure she gives you a fair statement!”Justin hung up on the call. Right after that, Kensley’s phone started ringing.Kensley looked at the screen, and her face completely lost all color.Naturally, her dear godfather called.The call alone was enough to show that her relationship with Longmen was severed.Harvey looked at Kensley with a small smile.“As expected f
Kensley gritted her teeth.“What do you want, Harvey?” she asked coldly.“Judging from your face, you wouldn’t give me a proper explanation. In that case, I’ll just do it myself!”Harvey took a step forward, and swung the back of his palm across Kensley’s face.Kensley stumbled back, a bright red palm print now seen on her face.She looked at Harvey in disbelief, but she wouldn’t dare say a single word, as if she was scared of getting slapped again.“This one’s for taking advantage of people using the Martial Arts Alliance’s name!”Slap!Harvey stepped forward and slapped Kensley in the face again.“This one’s for using Longmen’s reputation to do whatever you please!”Slap!“This last one’s for you siding with evil without any regard!”When he was done slapping her around, Harvey then kicked Kensley to the ground.“Leave!” he roared.“You…”Kensley was covering her face. She wanted to talk back at Harvey, but she instinctively shivered when she saw his calm expression. S
After getting justice for Mandy, Harvey immediately went to Darwin and the others. He told them to send experts for Mandy and her family’s protection twenty-four-seven.There was no solid proof, but Blaine’s involvement in this was heavily implied. The man’s methods and patience couldn’t be compared to any ordinary man. He’d most likely try to take out Harvey again.However, with the experts of Golden Sands’ branch of Heaven’s Gate, Harvey believed that Blaine wouldn’t be as blatant as he was before.And so, the next few days were quite peaceful.When Harvey went to fetch Mandy out of the hospital, he explained the situation to Lilian as well.Surprisingly, Lilian didn’t scream at Harvey’s face this time. Naturally, she had already received word about the situation.Elodie and her mother must’ve looked for Lilian for trouble the same night.When Harvey was pondering whether he should go to the John family himself, Watson called. He told Harvey that the Brarff family’s ancestra
Just like Watson Braff said, the room was completely empty.But after a while, Harvey York could smell a hint of fragrance similar to incense in the room.Harvey squinted at the purple light and briefly thought about the situation before heading outside.Then, he showed up in front of Eliel Braff a few minutes later.Eliel was sitting on a chair with a miserable look. He would occasionally let out a few coughs when his breathing got faster.“You’re here, Master York…” he said with a gentle expression.Soren Braff was also there.“Master York! Please! Take a look at my father!”Eliel glared at Watson before speaking.“Master York’s a busy man!“You’re wasting his time by calling him here!”Soren and Watson looked at each other with glum looks.After all, they were worried that Eliel was actually cursed.Then again, there were some things that just could not be said since the elderly would usually get this stubborn.Harvey smiled as he sat in front of Eliel.“I’ve been doz
The three sat down when the servants brought over some tea.“First off, I’ll have to congratulate you both,” said Harvey York before sipping his tea, smiling faintly.Watson Braff and Soren Braff frowned.“What do you mean by that?“What’s there to congratulate about?”“Eliel has a purple aura moving around his forehead. Along with his treasure room filled with the same aura…“If my guess is correct, he’s probably about to head to Wolsing to become one of The Nine Elders!“If this succeeds, the Braff family’s status will be on par with the top ten families.“The Jean family might also be forced out of their position.“Shouldn’t we be celebrating that?”Watson and Soren froze.“Are you serious?!” screamed Watson with a crackly voice.Harvey nodded.“I’m at least ninety percent sure.“This is probably why Eliel’s worked up about it, too.“Since ancient times, there has never been a moment where someone’s rise to power is smooth sailing.“Eliel’s destined to head to Wolsin
“The royal court is a boat going against the current! You have no choice but to move forward!“Since Big Boss already intends for you to rise, the people looking to steal that position wouldn’t just sit and wait for your reply!“Besides, you might not lose even if you decide to fight in Wolsing.“But if you don’t go, it wouldn’t be hard for those people to cause trouble here, judging from the forces there.”Eliel Braff froze before he showed a look of realization.He was a prominent figure in the royal court. He understood that fact himself.He was just oblivious since he was involved in the current situation.After taking a deep breath, Eliel showed a prominent gaze while looking at Harvey York.“Are you confident in my success there?”Harvey glanced at the clear purple aura lingering on Eliel’s forehead before smiling faintly.“Your position will be stable.“The Braff family will be listed as one of the top ten families.“You’ll be a huge success in Wolsing.“I’ll also h
"You are as well-spoken as they claim, Mr. Representative," Blade said coldly. "I wish he didn't die, since I watched him grow up. However, the fact is, he's dead. We have enough evidence to prove that you caused it. So, let's not waste our time and come with us. This is better for all of us."Yvonne's expression darkened. "Blade, is it? I don't care who you are, but my boss never lies. If he said that he didn't kill that man, then this has nothing to do with him. Don't pin the blame on someone innocent!"Blade looked at Harvey icily. "We wish that he could be innocent too. If that's the case, that's an even better reason for you to come with us. Since he's being suspected, he should come to prove his innocence at the very least."Yvonne snapped, "You think very highly of yourself! You can make anyone the suspect because you say so? You can take anyone with you because you want to? Do you know that he's also the representative of the Country H Martial Arts Alliance? In some way, he'
The security guards at the entrance finally reacted to what was happening. They started to call for reinforcements when they saw Yvonne's sportscar was stopped.The range rovers' doors were kicked open, and dozens of men and women clad in traditional Country H's garbs got out. The one leading them was a square-jawed man with a deep scar on his face. It was obvious he had survived a terrible battle against death once.He ignored all the security guards and quickly approached Harvey and Yvonne."Stop them!" Yvonne called out. She pushed the door open and got out of the car. "Who are you? What do you want?"The security guards from Sky Corporation quickly ran over. Dozens of people had started to gather around Harvey. In terms of numbers, they were finally able at an equal level.In truth, anyone from the other side should be able to easily defeat the bodyguards from Sky Corporation. Harvey, who knew this very clearly, also opened the door and walked to Yvonne's side. He looked at th
After Harvey was done with the Ninth Branch and sent Mandy home, he left. Mandy had shown him that she cared, but there were a lot of problems between them. They didn't even have to look for it—Lilian's existence alone was a constant thorn in their eyes. Unless Lilian chose to stop being a problem, Harvey had no interest in becoming the Zimmer family's son-in-law again. After leaving the Zimmer family, Harvey wasn't in a rush to go home. Instead, he went to Sky Corporation's HQ. He was surprised to see that the light in the CEO's office was still lit.Harvey arrived at the door and saw a beautiful woman still working quietly at the desk. He had just wanted to go in before hearing Yvonne's voice. It sounded like she was on a call. "Investigate it. We have to investigate this no matter what! Even if he's not going to ask about it right now, we still have to do it. What will happen if Mr. York wants to blame someone?"After that, Yvonne hung up."What happened?" Harvey asked as h
Durandal raised his eyebrow when he heard Harvey's provocation. He was quite shocked that Harvey was able to see through everything with such ease, but he didn't show much of it. He simply said coldly, "No one can order me around. I simply didn't like you. So? Go on! Kill me if you're really as powerful as you make it sound."Harvey sighed. "I'm trying to talk some sense into you, but you refuse to listen to reason. I never said I wanted your life. All I want is your hand. Since you refused to choose the option I'm giving you, I suppose I'm going to take what's mine."Harvey took a step forward, grabbed Durandal's right hand, and then twisted it.Snap!There was a snap, and Durandal's right arm was twisted into an irregular shape. Durandal suppressed the pain inside of him, but he was also quite shocked. He never expected that, despite being a superior martial artist, he would be completely useless when facing Harvey. The moment Harvey attacked, forget resisting—he didn't even
Durandal and his men's faces changed when they saw how calm Harvey was. They looked at Harvey with shock. It was obvious they didn't realize that Harvey had already made all sorts of preparations. He was ready to set them up all along—all he needed was for them to be in position.Meanwhile, Mandy and the rest of the Ninth Branch's senior members looked enlightened. They finally realized why Harvey was so confident. He had already found out the Boxing Champion's weakness!Meanwhile, the young fighter was also very prideful. Once he knew his opponent's weakness, he would do everything he could to become victorious.In short, this was not just a mere match. Before both sides began fighting, both sides had already planned and executed their strategies.Durandal's eyes narrowed. He didn't continue to verbally defend himself, and simply glared at Harvey. "I didn't expect that you've got quite the brain…"Harvey smiled. "I love it when others underestimate me. Because, that way, I can
Durandal and his men froze when they saw what happened, and their expressions darkened. While that long-haired man was frivolous, he was also a martial arts master.Before they could even react, Harvey had already snapped off the man's finger and fed it to the dog. That action was enough to stop Durandal and the others in their tracks, and even managed to silence the angry crowd.No one expected a man called a pretty face to be so brutal and decisive. At that moment, the men from Parkerville could feel the coldness radiating from Harvey. They couldn't stop the fear spreading in their heart."Darn it! How dare you hurt him?!""Do you have a death wish?""We're going to destroy your underground arena!"Everyone from Parkerville was filled with fury, wanting to retaliate. However, Harvey's calm expression was enough to scare them into silence. Durandal, the only person who knew Harvey's real identity, raised his hand to stop them. Then, he shot Harvey a cold look."What is the
"I believe someone outside the ring informed the young boxer. In short, this is no longer a one-versus-one battle! This is two versus one… No, perhaps even more! This isn't fair!"And then, Durandal raised his arm and shouted, "Tell me, friends! Is it against the rule for someone to use a high-tech method to instruct the young fighter in the middle of the match? Should they pay for all our losses?"While no one knew how Durandal could be so sure there was cheating involved, many saw that there was a chance for them to recover their losses. They knew who to support. All of them stood up and started yelling."Cheating! You're cheating!""Pay us! Pay us back!"Durandal continued to raise his arm. "We've already won this battle! However, the underground boxing ring was unable to accept their loss! Other than making them admit it, shouldn't we ask them to pay three times the money?!"All the spectators were excited and chorused brainlessly, "Three times! Three times!"They didn't car
As the Boxing Champion coughed out a mouthful of blood, it seemed to have caused a chain reaction. The blood vessels in his body began to bulge and explode, and blood began to flow out from his body. It was quite terrifying to watch, but from his bloodshot eyes, he seemed to have recovered some sort of clarity.He glared at the young fighter in front of him and collapsed on the ring, his eyes filled with disbelief."Ha… Didn't even break a sweat." The young fighter raised his hand, disdain on his face. His expression was calm, but everyone could see his arrogance."How is that possible?!" At that moment, there was only silence. No one expected the situation would change so quickly. The Boxing Champion had been defeated so quickly, many weren't sure what had happened. This had surpassed everyone's understanding.No matter if the audience was furious or in disbelief, the Boxing Champion had already fallen and the young fighter stood in the middle of the ring with a calm express
Everyone was still filled with mixed expressions as both sides clashed. To the Boxing Champion, he had already won countless fights. There was no need for him to be afraid of a young man.Meanwhile, the young fighter had great confidence. Nothing could shake him.The moment both sides clashed, dust and dirt burst from the floor. Everyone was shocked by their murderous intent.Their fists met. At that instant, they fought in the most brutal and primal way. They kept crashing into each other as they battled. The muted sounds of their attacks could be heard from outside the ring. The ring, though made of solid wood, began to crack open from the impact of their attacks. Everyone watched with bated breath, excitement etched on their faces. No one expected that the young man who looked like he was going to get beaten down in one punch would have so much endurance.It was way too thrilling! Too exciting!The two moved faster and faster. Very quickly, normal people couldn't even see h
