These people carried an extraordinary aura; it was clear that they were experienced men who had been through battlefields.Louie slowly walked towards the crowd in front of him.He was about five-foot-nine; he had a handsome face with short hair, and exuded an unspeakable dominance.He wore a dignified expression as he walked past the crowd. He was dressed in a damaged uniform without any shoulder badges.Despite this, those acquainted with him knew that he was enlisted in a legendary troop.In that troop, Louie, originally a rich playboy, turned into a King of Arms and developed a calmer personality. After leaving the troop, he quickly took control of the Northsea branch and became the prince.The first thing he did after rising to power was to recruit every single retired soldier as a part of the Northsea branch’s guards.Even though their economical strength and background was inferior compared to the Wolsing and overseas branch…They were definitely the most powerful in ter
Louie Patel froze after hearing Harvey York’s words.The voice seemed too familiar to him.But his logic told him that the voice had no purpose of being here in the first place.That man would not become the family’s live-in son-in-law!Before Louie made sure, Harvey stepped forward and lightly patted his face.“Answer me.“What should you be doing now?”Louie, who was showing a high and mighty look, instantly froze before showing utter excitement.After a while, he immediately stopped talking.He knew there was definitely a reason for the man before him showing up as the family’s live-in son-in-law.He would do everything to hide the man’s identity no matter what.The people behind Louie were angry after seeing Harvey pat his face.“How dare you talk to the prince like that, you bastard?!“Don’t you know he’s Prince Louie of the Northsea branch?!“Do you want to die?!“And besides, don’t you know what day is today?! Don’t you know what this place is?!“We’ll rip your d
Louie Patel quickly turned around before slapping the people behind him.“How dare you talk to the man like this?!“Slap yourselves!”The people instantly kneeled before slapping themselves in the face.At the same time, Louie stepped out before glaring at Dalton Patel.“How dare you disregard the law, hiring people to kill others?!“Dalton Patel!“What sort of punishment do you think you deserve?!”Everyone felt downright sluggish.Typically speaking, Louie was supposed to side with Dalton to take out Harvey York.But the man completely disregarded his family and sided with logic, demanding Dalton for a proper explanation. The family was rendered speechless after hearing those words.Dalton froze before he coldly chuckled.“I didn’t think you’d also side with the Mordu branch, Louie!“Looks like the main branch also gave you a lot of benefits!“Then again, did you think you can change anything with Elias and Kairi Patel on your side?“Your people will all die if I give
Bam!Dalton Patel’s palm was just about to make contact with Louie Patel’s face.But Harvey York stepped in front of Louie and grabbed Dalton’s arm before it could.Then, Harvey casually swung it aside as Dalton stumbled back. His handsome-looking face was showing a horrible expression.The experts of the Wolsing branch were looking gloomy when they rushed forward.They had already been quite dissatisfied with the live-in son-in-law since the very beginning.Slap slap slap!Harvey quickly slapped the experts of the Wolsing branch to the ground.The experts grunted in pain when their firearms slipped out of their hands. It was a miserable sight.Then, Harvey wiped off his fingers with some tissue.“Louie knows how to behave after learning my lesson, Dalton.“How dare you try to lay a finger on him in my presence?“What? You don’t respect me or something?”Dalton squinted for a moment before clapping his hands.“You’ve got guts, alright!“It’s the first time someone’s ever
“I’ll take advantage of a live-in son-in-law however I want!“If I don’t, they’ll think I’m a total loser!”Harvey York nodded.“You flaunt your strength when I try to speak reason with you…“Since you want to play it this way, I’ll play along!”Harvey casually pulled out a badge before throwing it to the ground.Everyone’s gaze shifted over before their pupils shrunk.The leader’s badge of Heaven’s Gate!The holder of the badge had the same authority as the leader himself!Dalton took a deep breath and gave a stern look.He soon regained his composure.“Quill Gibson gave you this?“The badge bears the same authority as the leader…“But you don’t actually think that you can show off just with this, right?“That simply isn’t enough!”The crowd laughed and gave Harvey strange looks.The acting head of the Heaven’s Gate branch was impressive.But not as impressive compared to the Patel family.At most, Dalton was only paying his respects for Heaven’s Gate.He did not th
“I’ll let you leave with your limbs intact! This is the most I can offer you!Dalton Patel took a deep breath to calm himself.“If you don’t go now, you’ll miss your chance!”“I’m curious! Who do I need to be to make you kneel?” Harvey wondered.“Unless you’re a prince or young master from the top ten families or the four cornerstones…“Nobody else has the right to make me kneel!”“Oh!”Harvey nodded before throwing out his final badge.‘Longmen’s young master!’Dalton was so lethargic after seeing the badge.‘How?!‘How does a man like him have three identities?!‘The last two are flukes, but the last one is definitely official!‘He’s Longmen’s young master!‘The young master of one of the four cornerstones!‘Thousands serve under him!‘He represents the Eight Inner and Outer Halls! All thirty-six branches of Longmen will heed his command!’Simply put, Harvey’s words alone would take Dalton down!Dalton, who had been keeping his cool the whole time, suddenly felt ove
“Looks like my third identity’s pretty effective here!”Harvey York stepped forward before patting Dalton Patel’s face.“Maybe I should just do the same next time I want to take advantage of someone, huh?“People might think I’m a loser if I talk too much.”Then, Harvey crossed his arms as he made his way to the main platform.“What are you trying to do, Harvey?!Dalton’s eyes twitched nonstop.“Your status is immense, but you involve yourself in the Patel family’s matters!“You’re embarrassing the Longmen!”“When I speak reason with you, you talk to me about power,” replied Harvey.“And when I show you power, you start speaking reason to me again!“Do you think the whole world revolves around you?!”“If you’re being this arrogant, I’ll have to report you to the royal court!” exclaimed Dalton with a gloomy tone.“Are you avoiding the question? You’re getting scared, huh?“So, you’re saying that you can’t do anything to me even if I take advantage of you?”Harvey stepped
“You sent Alfred and Rudy Patel to assassinate me!“You wanted my head as a sign of their loyalty!“All I did was cripple the Wolsing branch, and you’re already in a bad mood?Harvey York sent Dalton Patel flying with another kick. He tumbled around before slamming right into a marble pillar with blood spurting out of his mouth.“Are you happy now?!“Who else wants to speak about this?!The crowd was dead silent!Everyone was filled with utter shock!If they did not see the sight for themselves, they would not believe the family’s infighting would turn out this way because of Harvey alone.The people who felt disdain toward Harvey could not help but fear him at this point.Even if Harvey was destined to be retaliated against…The sight alone was enough to fill everyone with disbelief!The wealthy ladies, thinking of Dalton, glanced at Harvey with surprise.“Come!”Harvey hooked his finger before Kairi Patel.Kairi smiled gently before stepping up and wrapping herself in
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
