The higher-ups felt a chill run down their spines after seeing that.They finally realized that not everyone could just take the position of the branch’s head. Anyone in that position could die if not careful!Kanae laughed coldly, then charged right at Mandy. Naturally, he was planning to grab another hostage.Clack!But before he could get close, Harvey stomped on a tile. The shards flew straight ahead, forcing him back again.Kanae’s expression turned awful. The moment he stepped back, three more bodyguards fell to the ground, paralyzed, as soon as he waved his hand again.The bodyguards pounced ahead when they saw the sight; the whole place fell into utter chaos. After all, both Elodie and Reuben were already dead. If the bodyguards didn’t take down Kanae, they’d have to join the two. More than thirty bodyguards charged forward; these people had at least a bit of fighting experience and possessed impressive strength.Kanae laughed coldly, then he released his aura. Other
A loud slap was heard, and Kanae was instantly sent flying; he slammed into the ground, and the aura in him dissipated instantly.Islander expert martial artists…Karate geniuses…Bushido Spirit…All of these were destined to crumble before Harvey.Harvey smiled at Kanae, who was paralyzed on the ground. “If I were you, I’d stop moving right now. If you keep wriggling around, you might not get your life back.”Harvey then took out his phone.“Tch! Are you planning to call the cops?!” Kanae snarled. He had lost his strength to fight back, but he was still filled with disdain as he glared at Harvey.“It’s useless! I’m an Islander! I have diplomatic immunity!”Harvey slapped Kanae’s head.“Good point! If you didn’t remind me, I would’ve forgotten!“Spies like you are worth seventy-six thousand dollars here! You should be going with the Dragon Cell instead!”Harvey then dialed a number.“Hello? Dragon Cell? I’m here to report a spy and get my reward.”While Harvey was plannin
“Stay calm, Young Master Darby.”Blaine smiled faintly. “I gave you Kanae for you to protect yourself, not for you to fight Harvey.“We don’t know much about Harvey yet.“We’ll pay a great price for going against him right now.”Darby chuckled coldly. He raised his head to look at Indigo Mountain.“What else can he hide?“His title as representative probably doesn’t hold that much weight, anyway.“If he’s actually invincible, even if we don’t kill him, we can at least screw around with him, right?“More importantly, if we manage to find out his true identity by probing him, it’ll be easier for us to deal with him later!”Darby had a confident look on his face, as if he had everything under control.Blaine chuckled, and took a sip of his Black Tea. He admired Darby’s impatience quite a bit. It wouldn’t be appropriate for him to probe Harvey. It simply wasn’t his style.Letting Darby toy with Harvey would benefit him the most. Since Darby was only thinking of reclaiming hi
“If things get serious, it’d be bad if you got locked up again while Harvey’s completely fine.“You’re an important player of this game. If that actually happened, there’ll be a lot of trouble.”Blaine shook his head in regret. If he knew that Darby was such a useless teammate, he wouldn’t have bailed Darby out in the first place. People like that should just rot behind bars.“Get Kanae back!” Blaine ordered without hesitation. “It doesn’t matter what’s going on right now.“Call him back.“No, take him out of the country! Don’t let him show up in front of us ever again!“We’ll just pretend we don’t know him!”Darby looked at Blaine, puzzled. “You’re exaggerating things a little, aren’t you?” he said coldly. “He’s just a live-in son-in-law…”“Don’t get cocky, Darby,” Blaine replied.“Do you think a mere live-in son-in-law can sweep up your casino like that?“Do you think someone like that can just send you behind bars without warning?“You think he’s completely powerless,
Darby was shocked, but he was still an experienced young master.“Who are you people? Don’t you know that this is the Xavier family’s residence? I am Darby Xavier!”Bang!However, the people ignored Darby and pulled the trigger. There was a loud bang, and Darby’s phone exploded right in his hand.The flying shards of metal instantly scarred his whole body.Blaine scoffed; he waved his hand, grabbing the flying shards with ease. He then formed the shards into a ball, and casually threw it to the ground.The entire place was a complete mess. Darby’s eyes were twitching in rage; at this point, he was ready to fight till the bitter end.Based on his immense status, nobody would’ve dared to charge into his own house and treat him this way before…“If you move again, you’ll die!”Firearms were already pointed at Darby’s forehead before he could do anything. There was a good chance that these people would pull the trigger, judging from their methods.“Do you know who I am?!”Darby
Blaine waved his hand, and a golden badge on the table fell to the ground. The middle-aged man showed a horrible expression, filled with utter despair.‘He’s Blaine! The young master of the John family!’Nobody knew that he was actually a God of War!Despite his well-known reputation in Golden Sands, everyone only knew that he was a cautious and scheming man…Nobody even thought that he was a God of War in the first place!He was simply too discreet! He hid his strength so well!Dragon Cell had provoked someone they shouldn’t have!An hour later, at the entrance of a relatively quiet residence on Wolsing Road.Harvey looked at the place with an odd expression.He dialed Dragon Cell’s phone, but the call was hung up soon after. He got another call not long after, telling him to show up and cooperate with the investigation.After comforting Mandy and Xynthia, who were in shock, Harvey got Thomas to drive him there.If he didn’t know that Dragon Cell was a discreet organization
“I’m warning you! You better be honest and spill everything out! If you don’t, I’ll cut your damn tongue out piece by piece!”Harvey let out a sigh after hearing those words.“I’m a good citizen. I’ve been awarded a medal for that, too.“It’s already bad enough that you’re not rewarding me the same!“And now, you’re threatening me too?“Do you think I’m the prime suspect?“You probably don’t even act the same way with Blaine or Darby now, do you?”Harvey smiled, and put his cup down. He sized up the two people in front of him, curious.The woman suddenly stopped speaking, and glared coldly at him. The man, on the other hand, burst out laughing.“You must be joking, Mr. York!“It’s our honor for you to report this to us!“We’re happy to lend aid to our citizens.“But you should know, not everyone can have access to this organization.“Why don’t you tell us how you did it?“It’d be hard for us to cooperate if you don’t. You understand me, don’t you?”Naturally, the man and
Harvey glared coldly at them. Dragon Cell was one of the country’s four cornerstones, yet…They were involved in such shady business.Harvey was impressed with Blaine as well. At this point, it was probably impossible to deal with the situation using only Kanae.“Alright, Mr. York.” The man smiled gently. “My partner is a little grumpy today. No need to get scared. Can you describe the entire situation?“The more detailed, the better…“If you tell the truth, I’ll plead for a lesser sentence for you when the time comes.”His soft tone didn’t seem threatening at all… And yet, his seemingly harmless words felt more destructive.Harvey squinted at the two in front of him, leaning on the chair. It seemed there was a need to clean up the organization.That said, he wouldn’t mind telling the truth.The man and woman revealed horrible expressions after hearing Harvey’s words. They didn’t think that Harvey would still tell the truth under such circumstances.If they went with the usu
It was obvious that Hale's anger and sorrow had pushed him to the limit. He was already blaming Sky Plane for everything. Sky Plane had just earned him as a mortal enemy."My condolences, Hale." Harvey extended his hand and tapped Hale's shoulder. "The dead can't be brought back, so the most important thing now is to recover. Sky Plane is a difficult enemy."Clarion nodded as well. "Now that Susan is dead, Sky Plane will not let this slide. However, we'll need to get you a new identity after you recover. Only when you're safe and when you can live for yourself will you have the chance to have your revenge."I've just received news that everyone in Grand City knows who you are. All the other Sacred Lands will find out very quickly. In a short while, there will be countless people looking for you, for us. That's why you need to get ready. We're running out of time."When Clarion said that, the frigid light in his eyes glinted. He didn't need to send anyone to find out what was go
"No matter what happened, she treated me well all these years. Even if I were to kill her, I want her to die with some dignity. As for the trouble from Sky Plan and her… I'll give you an explanation you'll be happy with. Please permit me," Hale said, not caring for the wounds on his body even when he was kneeling on the floor.Clarion looked stern. If he were to bring in a spy like Susan, it would help him immensely in his career. If they got her into the interrogation room and asked her proper questions, they could get valuable answers from her. That was the only value she had left.However, Clarion also knew why Hale framed it that way. She was still his wife, even when she had already betrayed him. Rather than letting someone like Clarion take her away right now and live a torturous life that she wouldn't be able to tell day by night, he'd prefer to kill her right now. That way, Susan would be able to die peacefully.But how should he choose? Clarion was having a headache rig
Hale's expression was one of shock.Susan was the same.Hale didn't expect Sky Plane's plan to be so vicious. They wanted the Chapter of Ascension and to use the chance to plunge Grand City into chaos.Susan was shocked about how accurate Harvey's guesswork was. If it wasn't because she knew that someone like him would never have a connection with Sky Plane, she would even think that he might have a hand in setting up the trap that looked like it was simply a string of coincidences.Otherwise, how would he have known everything in such detail?Clarion looked at Harvey with more admiration. While he looked like just an ordinary man, whether his power or perception was far beyond them.Hale slowly closed his eyes, forcing himself to calm down for a long time.Then, he turned and looked at Susan and muttered, "Now that we have reached this juncture, I don't think that there should be any more secrets between you and I. Just one question. Did everything happen exactly as Mr. Harvey
"Or maybe, in your subconscious, you do realize that something isn't right. Maybe you simply feel that it's better for her not to know about some things. That way, things will be safer for her," Harvey said with a shrug. "However, the truth is that she didn't get anything from you at all until yesterday, isn't it?"Hale nodded. "You're right. I did have some doubts about her in my mind, that's why I did tell her everything except the Chapter of Ascension."Hale seemed to reminisce about something else before giving a painful smile. "And then, as time passed by, I no longer suspected her. But I'm worried that it'll get her killed, so I chose not to say anything. I believed that as long as I said nothing, we'll be able to live a peaceful life! No one expects that in the end…"Hale signed, looking hopeless when he said that.However, Susan simply smiled icily. "Stop your crocodile tears, Hale. You never trusted me, so stop saying that you love me!"Hale smiled bitterly. He didn't w
Clarion was stunned when he saw Mrs. Hoffman was still trying to argue her way out."Even the way you argue is the same as the Origin Ninjas. Seriously?" Harvey smirked. "Right, I heard that the Origin Ninjas would leave the mark of a petal on the most private spot so that it was easier for them to identify each other. You must have seen it, right, Mr. Hoffman? Of course, I believe she'd definitely say it was just a tattoo that she had while she was in her youth."Unfortunately, I believe that Grand City has plenty of records. It should be quite easy for us to find the evidence we need. That's why, Mrs. Hoffman… Is there really a need to deny it anymore now that we've reached this point?"Mrs. Hoffman shuddered a little. She didn't expect that Harvey would be able to easily see through all her disguise. Most importantly, he even knew about the most damning evidence on her. In a situation like this, continuing with the argument really was pointless."You… You…!"At the same tim
Harvey said calmly, "You smell like one of them."Whoosh!Before Harvey could finish, Mrs. Hoffman immediately pounced at him. In midair, she waved her hand and threw a string of knives.All her blades were blue in color. They looked very pretty, but if they scratched one's skin, one could easily lose their lives if they weren't sent to the hospital immediately.Clarion was shocked when he saw what was unfolding. It was obvious he didn't expect Harvey's words to help them identify Mrs. Hoffman's real identity and forced her to attack.Still, that was quite normal. Thinking back about it, Mrs. Hoffman's calmness during this whole ordeal showed that she was not a normal woman.The power she suddenly showed was within their expectation, and they could understand it too.However, this exact revelation was making things more painful for Hale. It hurt him even more than finding out that his beloved wife sold him out. Clank! Clank! Clank!Harvey pulled up a small fruit knife and thr
Harvey's expression became cold as he watched Mrs. Hoffman. He was completely done with her.Mrs. Hoffman bit her lip and stared at Hale for a long time. "You're right! The one who sold you out is me. I sold your identity to other people, too. I'm also the one that almost got you killed. When I heard about the Chapter of Ascension in the morning, I was also the one who sent the message!"Hale's expression was one of bitterness and grief. He gritted his teeth and asked coldly, "Why?""Why?" Mrs. Hoffman scoffed, a hint of disdain on her face. "Why do you think I did this? Fine, I'll tell you. It's easy—after marrying you for so many years, I've never had a life of peace! We're either living in the streets or hiding! I didn't ask for a wealthy life. I just want a normal and peaceful life like any other ordinary woman! But I can't see us ever having that life! "If that's the case, why can't I gamble everything away? Why can't I sell you in exchange for wealth so I can have an e
Hale let out a bitter cry with a sorrowful expression. How could anyone expose that the person who slept next to them would be the one to stab them in the back?Hale whispered, "I simply didn't want that person to be you. You have been with me for so many years and have suffered so much. I've already treated you as my only family. If family like you betrayed me, it would do nothing but make me suffer."That was why I arranged such a test. I was hoping that Mr. Harvey would betray me once he knew who I really was and that I really did have the Chapter of Ascension. That way, I could continue executing my plans in peace."I didn't expect him to be completely uninterested in the Chapter of Ascension. Instead, you were the one who betrayed me again. It also meant that the one who turned me to Camellia and let her trace me was you…"Harvey didn't pin any blame on Hale after hearing what had happened. After giving it a thought, he said, "Normally speaking, we've just met for the first
"You… Hale! How…" Mrs. Hoffman crawled back up, her mind going black for a moment. She quickly pulled out her phone, about to make a call. Because she was too nervous, she kept on pressing the wrong numbers. She couldn't make that call.Harvey didn't say anything as he looked at this scene calmly.Meanwhile, Hale's expression began to change. There was a hint of sorrow in his eyes as he looked at the woman he loved. "Honey… Don't tell me that despite Mr. Harvey having no interest in the Chapter of Ascension, you let someone else get it instead? In short, you're the one that betrayed me… And has been betraying me…"A tear of blood formed from the corner of Hale's eyes as he spoke.Mrs. Hoffman, who was still trying to make that call, shuddered as she turned and looked at the man whom she had accompanied for many years.At the same time, someone pushed open the door. It was Clarion. He quickly walked into the room and leaned in next to Harvey, whispering, "Something happened
