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 wouldn’t be hard for Harvey to deal with the situation…But since Carver was confident that he’d be able to help, Harvey decided to keep quiet. He also wanted to see just how powerful Blaine was for Golden Cell to be this terrified.Half an hour later, Harvey showed up in front of Golden Cell’s entrance. According to the deal, Carver would give him an explanation of the entire situation the next day.That was why Harvey planned to wait and see just what would happen.That said, Harvey didn’t go back immediately after leaving the Golden Cell—he went to look for Kairi instead. After all, she understood just how powerful both the John family and Blaine were.After giving her a call to ask for her location, he called a cab to a private clubhouse.Kairi’s secretary, who had been waiting for a long while, respectfully led Harvey into a spacious room.Kairi was on a call with someone. She was standing on a balcony separated by a wall.“How?!” she exclaimed with a furious expression
“Now that the princes are coming back, I fear that the Patel family won’t have a lot of time to relax.” Kairi sighed. Harvey frowned. “Are you afraid of getting robbed off your position?”Kairi shook her head.“Not really. I’m a part of the main branch. Even if I’m not in charge, my position will still remain. At most, my words wouldn’t hold that much weight.“However, we finally managed to band together with the Hermit Families. With this, we can finally fight the John family.“Under such circumstances, the princes’ return will only cause infighting within the family…”“Sigh. If we’re not careful, the Patel family will lose its strength and become the John family’s vassals in the future.”Kairi was worried; she didn’t think that the Hermit Families would be able to go against the John family if the Patel family got in trouble.After all, Blaine was from the John family.Harvey pondered for a moment.“Was Blaine the one spreading rumors of your grandfather dying?“If it was
Vroom!Sounds of engines could be heard. Many cars parked in front of them, exuding terrible dominance.The people around the place were frightened, and quickly stepped away.The Patel family bodyguards instinctively pulled out their firearms.A dozen people in uniforms swarmed out as soon as the car doors opened. The person leading the group was a handsome man.It was Golden Cell’s second-in-command… Carver Ruiz!Carver ignored everyone else, and strode toward Harvey and Kairi with his subordinates.“Who are you people?” Kairi frowned, glaring at them. “Do you know what this place is?”Her bodyguards instantly raised their firearms, their expressions fierce.Harvey narrowed his eyes and looked curiously at Carver’s smug arrival. This man was playing both sides, after all.“Carver Ruiz of Golden Cell.” Carver smiled gently as he revealed his license to kill.“My position isn’t that high—I’m only the second-in-command.”Kairi narrowed her eyes after hearing about Carver’s
“Probably not.”Carver smiled.“But it’s still easy for us to kill a person or two. If not, what would happen to our reputation?”Carver then waved his hand.“Come! Take the suspect away!”A dozen men in red uniforms stepped up, with safeties off their firearms. Their faces were frosty, and they looked fully prepared to take a life away.“We’ll see if you dare!”Kairi glared coldly at Carver.“You use my name to bail Harvey out, and now, you’re slandering him and giving him bogus charges? Do you really think my position is just for show?!”Kairi wasn’t sure who was really behind the entire situation, but… She knew Harvey would be in a lot of danger for this. He had gone against too many people in the city.If he was actually locked behind bars, too many people would make sure it stayed that way.Following Kairi’s command, her bodyguards raised their firearms, looking grim. The air tensed up instantly.Carver smiled calmly as he looked at Kairi.“Of course I know just how i
Carver’s expression changed slightly; he was the man in charge of the situation, yet he felt suppressed by Harvey.“What? Are you unhappy?”Harvey remained calm.“Or are you saying that you’re regretting your decision now?“It’s useless for that. After all, recklessness always has its price.”Carver’s words were used against him. His expression turned horrible after hearing them.“Come on. Stop wasting time! I want to see who a double-crosser like you is hiding behind.”Harvey glanced at Kairi and made a gesture, before casually heading into the back of the Land Cruiser as if he were the actual master.Carver’s face turned gloomy. He managed to terrify a lot of people by using his position in Golden Cell. Even princes and young masters would kneel in front of him after hearing about the organization. They’d either beg for forgiveness, or desperately try to use their connections.Harvey’s reaction was out of the ordinary. Carver was bewildered, and wondered if he had done som
Blade frowned and said nothing when he heard Harvey's teasing. Not far away came the sound of spotlights being turned on. Giant spotlights immediately focused on their location from all around them, turning the place as bright as day. The Enforcer Division who just got out of the car narrowed their eyes, trying to adjust to the light."You're smart, and you're quite perceptive as well." At this time, one of the doors on the giant stone gate from not far away slid open, and dozens of figures appeared. The one leading them was a woman wearing a traditional garb, a fan in her hand.She looked like a seductress. Her eyes were filled with charm, and even just a glance from her was quite seductive. All the men and women behind her were wearing uniforms, bearing a stern expression. "Unfortunately, smart people normally don't last long here," the woman continued with a smile. Harvey shrugged. "I haven't asked you what this place is yet."The woman kept smiling. "Our place was quite
The atmosphere within the car fell into absolute silence. Blade extended his head and opened the sunroof, allowing the fresh air to enter the car. He took in the fresh air, but no one could tell his thoughts.Harvey smiled as he once again closed his eyes and rested. To him, the destination for this journey meant nothing.Very quickly, the car drove until night. During this journey, the car stopped three times. They would always rest, have a meal, and get a toilet break at a temporary supply base that had been established beforehand. Blade had maintained his silence and said nothing.As for Harvey, it was life as usual for him. He would eat when he was supposed to and sleep when he had time to. It was so that everyone could maintain their energy.Harvey even took a hot shower in one of the supply bases and got to wash his clothes. The members of the Enforcement Division that kept watch over him looked at him strangely. It was obvious it was their first time meeting a criminal lik
Blade was slightly stunned when he heard it and took in a deep breath, as if he was suppressing something he was feeling. Then, he said slowly, "The Grand City is also called the Grand City that Didn't Belong to the World. Those from the Grand City had been called many names. Wizards, alchemists, immortals… In a place like ours, we have rules and laws coming from bygone eras. After existing for so long, people from our city understand that only by following these rules and laws will we be able to protect the Grand City."Harvey smiled. "So, to you, even if you know the order you're going to execute is wrong, you'll still do it no matter the cost, right?""It's easy for one person to make a mistake," Blade said. "It's even easier for someone to make a mistake when one speculates. This is an order that was made based on the rules and regulations. The chances of it being a mistake are very low…"Even if I have some thoughts, I'd rather do as I'm ordered by Grand City. As for whether
Half an hour later, Harvey got into the back seat of a Range Rover after he packed a few sets of clothes. During this time, not only did he have to console Yvonne not to do something rash, but he also had to arrange for something else. He even had the time to order some pasta through delivery.While he still didn't know what Grand City had prepared for him, he knew that he should get ready. He had to give it his all this time. Grand City was not an opponent he could simply ignore.Once he was in the Range Rover, Harvey took the best seat that once belonged to Blade. He even adjusted the seat so he could sleep for a while.The next morning, Harvey woke up and downed a mouthful of carbonated water. He rubbed his eyes and looked around him from the car window. The car was already driving through an ancient forest. But because the car's performance was just that excellent, he felt like he had been driving on flat land.After taking a look, Harvey looked at Blade next to him. Blade's
"It's alright, Yvonne. Don't get mad. If you get angry because of something like this, then you've lost," Harvey said as he shook his head. He stopped Yvonne, who was on the verge of exploding."The people from Grand City have a way of doing things due to how they believe that they're better than everyone else. Not following their laws would ruin their reputation, so I'll go with them," Harvey said as he narrowed his eyes.He knew very well that this was a plot against him. It wasn't just about Durandal's death, it was also because he had offended Dan. The day Harvey became the representative, someone had already plotted against him. For everyone's sake, Harvey decided to make a move.While he wasn't afraid of Grand City, it didn't mean that everyone else wasn't fearless of Grand City either."Don't be rash…" Yvonne said, shivering. Harvey patted her hand a while and then looked at Blade's cold expression with great interest. "I can tell that you're not someone who lies and y
"Firearms?" Blade smiled coldly when he saw this, and looked at Yvonne with a sneer. "There's something you probably didn't know, girl. All of my followers here are martial arts elites, and they're wearing the silk armor that Grand City produced. This armor makes them untouchable by blades or the elements. If you don't do anything rash, it's fine. But if you do, your men will die. Here's my advice. Don't get all of them killed just because of one person."And then, he commanded coldly, "Do it."Eighteen elites from the Enforcement Division took a step forward when they heard his command, looking calm."I don't believe that you're not afraid of a gun!" Yvonne grabbed a gun and pointed it at Blade.However, Blade didn't react even when faced with Yvonne's madness. He simply walked over to her, held the gun in her hand, and then pointed it at his forehead. "Come on. If you don't believe it, give it a try. Pull the trigger and see if you can kill me."Yvonne's eyes widened when
"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
