“You bastard!”Kensley was boiling with anger after hearing Harvey’s words, but she still didn’t lose control of herself. After taking a deep breath, she went to the deeper part of the hall to inquire about the situation.Compared to before, this part of the castle was chillingly cold. There was a lot of dried blood splattered all over the ground, making it clear that this was the actual place of interrogation.Harvey nodded in admiration, then casually sat down with his legs crossed before telling Carver to bring him some tea.People who didn’t know any better would think that he was the actual warden of the place.Carver hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Kensley.Kensley scoffed coldly, then waved her hand.Someone brought a cup of hot tea, but the quality of it could have been a lot better.Harvey didn’t mind it; he picked the cup up with a small smile, waiting to see what Kensley was preparing for him.Kensley chuckled, and picked up her vibrating phone. After that,
“Don’t you know why they’re here, Harvey?”Before Shay and Prince could reply, Maisie flashed Harvey a gentle smile. “Golden Sands’ branch of Heaven’s Gate followed Aung and killed him while he was drunk, all because you ordered them to!“Shay and Prince are witnesses! We’re about to get proof, too!“I’m telling you right now! You’re finished!”Harvey frowned, then instinctively looked at Prince.Shay quickly shook her head.“Don’t listen to her, Sir York! The branch does have people outside your family’s house to keep them safe! We’re law-abiding citizens! We wouldn’t do something like that!”Maisie laughed coldly.“Fine! I won’t keep running my mouth if that’s what you think.“Master Aung has no family since he’s a monk. “However, there’s another person you killed who does!”Maisie then clapped her hands.Creak…A wooden door on the side swung open, and a middle-aged man in his fifties with some white hair walked out.A beautiful young woman followed beside him.The
Bam, bam, bam!Prince was about to fight back, but the experts of the Faceless Group were all too powerful. They quickly held him down without any effort at all.“Stop! This is Golden Cell! How dare you hit him!”Shay screamed in anger, but everyone ignored her.Harvey narrowed his eyes; as he was about to take action, Faceless revealed a thin and long silver tube. His expression immediately turned grim. He suddenly remembered the Council of Myth’s killer move—the Royal Flush.It wouldn’t be hard for him to evade the attack, but Prince and Shay would most likely die in the explosion.Faceless was secretly threatening Harvey.“Stop! Every single one of you!”After shaking off Golden Cell’s guards, Shay stepped in front of Prince, spreading her arms wide.“Enough of this! No matter what happens, it’s wrong to beat people up like this!”Shay was an arrogant lady in the past, but she had become a fair and just woman after taking a lesson from Harvey. After all, she would get into
The people of the Golden Cell were also coldly glaring at Harvey York.The Golden Cell was a prominent force. As subordinates of one of the country’s cornerstones, even princes and young masters of the Golden Sands would have to pay their respects.‘He wants to do things his way?‘Is he actually insane?’Carver Ruiz’s eyes twitched again. He could tell that Harvey was not just any ordinary man.No matter how powerful they were, ordinary rich playboys would never dare act so confident!Judging from Harvey’s attitude, he could not even be bothered by the Golden Cell!‘He’s doing it his way?‘Where did he get the nerve to say such a thing?’Harvey stepped forward before squinting at Flawless.“Order your men to stop, then kneel as an apology.“You have three seconds. If you don’t, I’ll cripple you after that.“Even your father’s Royal Flush won’t be able to save you.”Flawless instinctively froze after hearing Harvey’s words, but she did not believe the prisoner before her co
Harvey York still dared to act arrogantly despite being in such circumstances.Nobody else would have the courage to do such a thing.A mere inmate managed to suppress everyone around him just with his aura alone?What a joke!Then again, he seemed so handsome at that very moment!Many people started to believe that he was actually Representative York himself!Ordinary people would never do something like this in the first place!Carver Ruiz’s eyes twitched again. He started to regret his actions more at that moment.If he knew Harvey was that kind of man, he would not have done such a heinous thing to pamper Kensley Quinlan.Right as he was figuring out a way to make up for his mistakes, Maisie Xavier froze before she burst out in anger.“Are you people dead or something?!“Are you just going to watch as this prisoner does whatever he pleases?!“Take him out already!“Where are your guns?! Bring them out right now!”After looking at each other, the people in red uniforms
Flawless screamed in anger, signaling for the experts to pull out their firearms and kill Shay and Prince Gibson on “accident.”Harvey York casually patted Flawless’ face.“That’s just not right, Ms. Flawless.“You’d let your men shoot their guns by accident?“This is entirely different than my situation!“And do you believe it? From now on, if even a single strand of hair gets pulled off their bodies, I’ll make sure you repay it tenfold.“I know that you don’t fear death. You wouldn’t hesitate to take revenge for your brother by giving up your own life…“But I believe that it’ll be just a shame if you die without killing me.“So, do you really want to play the game?”Harvey’s words made Flawless change expressions constantly. In the end, she did not give the order.Faceless took a deep breath before hiding his Royal Flush while lightly shaking his head.The experts all deftly stepped back after seeing his actions.Prince and Shay, whose faces were utterly swollen, walked b
“You…Flawless was furious.“Then, kill me if you dare!“Why are you stalling now?!”Harvey York raised Flawless’ chin before slapping her aside.“Enough. Let them pass.“You people are clearly together.“If you don’t do as I say, I’ll take you out first!”A bright red palm print was showing on Flawless’ face as she gritted her teeth.Maisie Xavier showed a horrible expression while gripping her firearm when she glared at Harvey. She had no intention to release anyone.“Right. There’s something that I forgot to tell you…Harvey smiled faintly.“Flawless’ injuries aren’t that bad. I avoided her vital spots when I shot her.“That said, it can’t be helped that all firearms get a little rusty. If she doesn’t get a tetanus shot soon, she might lose both her legs after this.“She’d be wheelchair-bound for the rest of her life.“I don’t mind though.“But if the rest of you don’t, we can definitely waste hours just standing here.“I’m not in a hurry anyway.”Flawless’ eyes tw
“Your wife, sister-in-law, classmates, friends, and colleagues…“Every single person who knows you will certainly die!“It wouldn’t be exaggerating to say that your entire lineage is done for!“They’ll even look for people related to you, who don’t even know who you are, and kill them off!“You better think about this! Don’t ruin your entire life just for the sake of your temper!“More importantly, would you dare kill Flawless right before us?“If you don’t do it, you’ll still be found guilty if you can’t prove that you’re not the murderer!“When that happens, not only will you tarnish your reputation, but your identity’s reputation, along with the country’s Martial Arts Alliance, will go down with you!“Because of you, the country’s Martial Arts Alliance might even be exiled by the entire world!“When that happens, there’s no need to talk about being one of the directors of the world’s Martial Arts Alliance…“If the country doesn’t get blacklisted for this, then it’s already
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
