Harvey looked at the crow charging at him curiously. The moment the crow landed on his body, he calmly flicked his finger.Poof!A yellow talisman flew out of his hand, and the crow suddenly disappeared. The talisman slowly fell to the ground, then turned to ashes. He calmly blew the charred smell from his fingers. “This is all you can do? That won’t do…”“Impossible!”The elders’ faces froze; they screamed inwardly, shocked. ‘That’s a Shikigami!‘A Shikigami! From the Island Nations!‘How did Harvey break it with just a talisman he casually drew just now?!‘This is completely nonsensical!‘When did the Masato family’s techniques become this weak?!’“Do you think this is impossible?” Harvey scowled. “I don’t understand. You’ve all always been weak, but you’re so keen on showing off. Are you just into role-playing?”Pffft!The elder in front was on the verge of coughing up blood.The eight elders of the family were almost a thousand years old combined…Yet, someone lik
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!The remaining seven elders waved their hands, throwing out their talismans in an instant.All sorts of wretched shapes resembling different things appeared in the air. Foxes, pythons, and even a cyclops appeared. Harvey sighed, then flicked his finger again.Poof!The seven elders started coughing up blood, their bodies trembling instinctively.“Witchcraft! What did you do?!”The leading elder was boiling in anger.One elder wasn’t able to do anything to Harvey… But now, even seven of them weren’t able to scratch him either.“Slander! This is slander!” Harvey exclaimed.“I just learned this from the Book of Changes!“This is a blatant geomancy art, but you’re saying that this is witchcraft?“How shameless can you people get?”“The Book of Changes?”The elders looked at each other.Legends say that the Book of Changes had many forms, including alchemy and geomancy arts. There was a team in the Masato family in charge of researching the Book of Cha
Seeing the change in Harvey, the elder’s expression kept changing. He brought his sword toward Harvey’s throat at the speed of light.Harvey flicked his finger right at the blade without any intention of evading it.Clang!A loud sound was heard; the elder took a few steps back, his entire body shivering. A shriek was suddenly heard from the Demon Sword.Harvey wiped his fingers disdainfully while standing in place, as if he touched something disgusting.The elder exploded in anger; he leaped into the air before bringing down his sword once again. He was an onmyoji, but he had deep understanding of the Island Nations’ martial arts as well.His attack was similar to the Shindan Way’s killer move.However, Harvey couldn’t even remember the name of the move, let alone care. He stomped the ground; the bricks there shattered, and flew everywhere.Bam, bam, bam!The elder kept attacking; he sliced the bricks apart. Harvey flipped in the air, and kicked at him.Bam!The elder was t
“Enough is enough, Harvey!”After seeing everyone else slapped aside, the elder in front stumbled off the ground and pointed his sword at Harvey.“I’m still the elder of the Masato family! I am true royalty, with royal blood!“Even in the Island Nations, I’m still a figure revered by a lot of people!“Us mighty Islanders cannot be humiliated by someone like you!”Harvey crossed his arms. “Kneel, and I won’t kill you.”“You want me to kneel?!”The elder was boiling with anger. Furious, he laughed. “Who do you think you are, you bastard?“You really think you can do whatever you want just because you’re the representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance and Longmen’s young master?“Not a single person in the entire country can make me kneel!“Not even your Head Coach!“The Masato family would rather die than beg for our lives!“We’re onmyojis, but we also have Bushido Spirit!“My spirit will not allow you to do such a thing!“Us Islanders will not take humiliation ligh
More importantly, Harvey was only using his palm.If he used any move from the sacred martial arts training grounds, the elders would’ve admitted defeat.After all, Country H’s martial arts were unfathomable.Even so, Harvey’s attacks were simple. His speed was simply extraordinary.Every single slap seemed weak, but the face of the elder was now completely swollen. He kept stumbling backward.“Come on! You’re a prominent figure of the Island Nations!“Tell me honestly!“Even with your Bushido Spirit, all you can do is kneel, right?”Harvey kept slapping the elder around until he was forced to crawl on the ground again.The other seven elders froze in place. They wouldn’t dare move an inch, and immediately kneeled on the ground.‘Are you kidding? His slaps are just horrifying!’“How dare you insult the Island Nations?! You…”The elder shivered for a moment before stumbling back to the ground again.After seeing Harvey come closer, his eyes twitched. He finally slammed his
There was a smile on Lexie’s beautiful face.“Seniority-wise, you’d have to call me Aunty.“I wouldn’t murder someone for the sake of silencing them!“I know the Islanders are scheming people, and you’re a young man with almost no experience!“That was why I showed up to kill these people!“I saved you! Even if you’re not going to thank me, at least don’t slander me like that!”Lexie showed a pitiful expression when she looked helplessly at Harvey. Both her face and figure were no less than impeccable. Any man would be fooled by her cutesy act.Harvey squinted at Lexie, then smiled. “As expected from the lady of Dragon Palace.“Not only are you a good shot, but you’re good with words as well.“I’m no match for you, after all.“That said, you’re a little slow.“The elder already told me what I needed to know.“We’re not done with this!”Harvey turned around with his arms crossed on his chest.Two people from Dragon Palace immediately stood in front of him, blocking his p
While still pondering, Harvey returned to Fortune Hall.Castiel and the others didn’t know that he had gone through a life-and-death situation. They quickly served Harvey a cup of tea as soon as he walked in.“Where’s Mandy?”Seeing the place so empty, Harvey glanced at the back hall.Castiel hesitated for a moment.“Mrs. Zimmer wanted to tell you something.“She came to say goodbye.“If you’re willing to head to Wolsing with her, you can call her anytime.”Harvey froze; Mandy did mention going to Wolsing, but he didn’t think that she’d be in this much of a rush.Harvey looked in the direction of Mordu.He wouldn’t believe it if Mandy’s departure had nothing to do with the Jean family or the top ten families. She probably didn’t know that she was already being used as one of the trump cards against him.The people closest to him would hurt him the most, after all!Leona came out, and looked at Harvey with an odd expression. “Are you really going to Wolsing, Sir York? Fortun
“As for Peyton, I don’t think this has anything to do with him either.“He was either set up…“Or he was forced.“After all, the character of these old folk isn’t something that the young ones can just imitate.”Harvey told Kairi everything that happened, as if he wasn’t the one who experienced it first-hand.Kairi frowned.“Your impressive fighting skills will only make Blaine want to kill you more.“You have a close relationship with the Patel family and the six Hermit Families.“Without any of us realizing it, you’ve become the spokesperson for our interests.“The John family wants Golden Sands for themselves. Blaine will not rest until you die.”“If he’s really involved with Evermore and the Island Nations, I won’t let him off the hook,” Harvey replied.Kairi took a deep breath, nodding. “By the way, I heard Mandy’s about to go to Wolsing.”Harvey burst out laughing.“Is that being advertised everywhere? How does everyone know about this?“Don’t worry; she’ll leave wi
Jackson's eyes narrowed when he heard what Clarion had said, but he said nothing else. He gave Harvey an apologetic smile and then ordered his men to temporarily take Harvey into the prison at the back. While it was nothing more than symbolism, Blade knew that Clarion simply wanted to use this chance to disgust Harvey.Just when Harvey was going to be taken away, Clarion pulled out his mobile and dialed a number. Shortly after, the door was once again kicked open with a bang.Then, Durandal's companions appeared with anguished expressions. They were led by a long-haired man and a woman in a face mask. Once they entered the courtroom, the woman removed her mask. She was so sorrowful as if her husband had passed away.As for that long-haired man, while he had lost a finger and had his hand bandaged, there was a malevolent aura coming from him."Mandy! How could you kill my fiance?! I'll kill you!" The woman was instantly filled with rage the moment she saw Mandy. She immediately ran
Shortly, Blade escorted Harvey through the door made of rock. They followed the staircase down and into an underground area. It was quite spacious down there, and it was probably formed naturally. Plenty of man-made structures were built within the underground space.However, these buildings must be at least hundreds of years old. The lights added afterward suggest this was some kind of underground city.Harvey was quickly dragged to a place that looked like an ancient court. There was a sign board saying "Justice" on top, and three different kinds of guillotines were placed there. Bronze, silver, and gold. The ground under the guillotine seemed to be dark from the color of dried blood. One could faint by just watching the dried blood.It was obvious that countless people had died under these guillotines in the past few centuries. Harvey was unfazed by them. Instead, he found a bench and sat down, enjoying the sights of his surroundings.Those who were informed would know that he w
After a long while, Harvey sighed and said, "If that's the case, can you let me see the original files and conversation with the nurse? I also wanted to know just what kind of evidence the people from the Forbidden Wasteland believed was real."When Lanny heard Harvey's request, she coldly replied, "I'm sorry. But we haven't reached that part of the procedure yet. We know that you might be someone at the True Warrior level. It would be easy for an elite like you to assassinate or mislead someone. That's why, before we can confirm their safety, we won't show you any of the evidence or witness."Harvey shrugged. "I do have the power of a True Warrior. If I wanted to, I could easily kill everyone standing here.""I know," Lanny answered coldly. "But will you? No one is an island in this world. If you do that, all your friends and family will die because of you. Grand City will also categorize you as the most dangerous criminal and will do everything we can to kill you."You know all o
Durandal had to be dead. There was no mistake about it. And this had nothing to do with Parkerville and Grand City. They also found incriminating evidence regarding Harvey's "attack" on Durandal and the evidence fit.Who were the ones who wanted to target Harvey that badly? And why? Why did they want to make him an enemy of Grand City?Harvey's expression was severe as he thought about that. Could Evermore be behind this despite not appearing for so long? If that was true, what relationship did Evermore and Grand City have?Harvey glanced at Lanny when he was thinking about those questions and said, "Whether it is your Enforcement Division or the Forbidden Wasteland, all of you are smart people. None of you are fools. Can you really not see that there is someone else interfering with this? Or have you already seen it but didn't want to admit it and tried to kill me using this opportunity? "As long as you're not the one setting me up, after you killed me, you'll then cry a tear of
To Lanny, as long as the city could convict Harvey, he would become someone she could do whatever she wanted to him. That was why she was in no rush. She could make Harvey regret ever getting born once he was convicted since there was no need for her to drag herself into this, even if she wanted to kill Harvey."Prosecute me?" Harvey could not help but laugh when he saw how Lanny looked like that was how he would end. "I can leave here openly in less than 24 hours. I wonder how you'll look afterward.""Do you want to leave? Dream on." Lanny glared coldly at Harvey. "I'm going to show you the evidence that will damn you. In the hospital where Durandal was killed, we found security footage. In that footage, it clearly showed you killing Durandal and the entire process… It even got your face. A young nurse in the hospital could also prove that you were the one who killed him."In short, we had both witnesses and evidence. Harvey, I understand what you were thinking. Did you believe we
"Fool!" Lanny's expression became even darker after hearing Harvey's words. In Grand City, she was akin to a goddess. Countless people wanted to pursue her romantically. But Harvey said that she belonged to the streets? That was not something she would stand for!The moment that thought crossed her mind, Lanny cried, "Slap him! Slap him until he can't speak!"All the men and women behind Lanny prepared to put their firearms on Harvey's head once they heard Lanny's orders. Some of them even pulled up their sleeves. It was obvious that they wanted to slap Harvey. And from the looks of it, they would not stop until Harvey's face was swollen.Looking at the scene, Harvey did not care much and simply looked at Lanny with intrigue. He was thinking that if Lanny's men touched him, then he would have a good reason to slap her pretty face into oblivion. While he would not usually hit women, some liked to cross the line.Blade suddenly stepped forward despite his silence when he saw how both
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
