The middlemost building had hundreds of years of history, but the entire place surrounding it was filled with ditches and slush since it was not maintained.A huge hole was seen in the middle of the building.A head was hanged right under it.The Heaven’s Gate even sent a group of disciples to guard the place.Naturally, they did not want the Gibson family or the people involved to have a chance at retrieving the head.Harvey York showed a horrible look. At that very moment, flames were burning in his eyes.He waved his hand when he was about to step forward with Rachel Hardy and the others.But then, a beautiful figure appeared.She also had an air of dominance.Harvey froze as soon as he saw the woman.The woman seemed too beautiful even to be considered human. She seemed more like a fairy of some sort.“Who is she?” Harvey said with a frown on his face.Rachel briefly looked at her laptop before finally replying, “If I’m correct, this must be Quill Gibson’s foster daught
“How dare you try to take Quill Gibson’s damn head in our presence?”The bald man twirled his sword around with a disdainful glare.“Don’t you know this is a heinous crime?!“Quill stole the Lowe family’s energy regulation technique! He deserves to be punished!“His head is here to make an example!“The people who try to take it are also guilty!“The great elder and second elder gave the order as well!“No matter how powerful the people are…“We kill whoever tries to disobey the rules!“That’s why, young lady! No matter how beautiful you are, I suggest you kneel and let us toy with you before sending you to the Law Enforcement Hall to accept your punishment!“If not, you’ll have to die here!“You’ll die horribly at that!”The bald man whistled before letting out a cold chuckle.The other disciples pulled out their long swords and pointed them at Alani Carlson and her bodyguards.Alani calmly raised her head before her bodyguards pulled out their firearms with legal docume
“In any case…“Quill Gibson’s already dead!“So what if you’re angry about him?“Even if your rage isn’t quenched after his death, you can’t just humiliate his body like this!“It’s already bad enough that you’re not properly burying his body, yet you’re here to drive us away?!“Your actions don’t even reflect the country’s five-thousand-year-old civilization! Where are your manners?!“I’ll report this to the World Civilization Department! They’ll show the world about just how hypocritical and uncivilized you people are!”Harvey York smiled faintly.“She’s bringing up the World Civilization Department?“Looks like she has quite an immense status in the Island Nations…“Is she really Quill’s foster daughter?”Rachel Hardy frowned.“Without a doubt.“Then again, she might also be a spy from the Island Nations.”Harvey showed a profound look when he squinted at the sight.“The World Civilization Department?The bald man seemed a little unfamiliar with the name before showi
“Oh? Looks like you’re planning to cut me down with that long sword!”The bald man glared disdainfully after seeing Alani Carlson’s actions.“Come! I’ve already heard of the Six Schools of Martial Arts!“I wonder which one you’re from!“The Shinkage Way? The Nen Way? The Shindan Way?“I’ll acknowledge you if you can actually cut me down!“But if not, you’ll have to do my bidding tonight!”The bald man swung his sword around when his aura suddenly erupted.He was not a King of Arms but could still hold his own in a fight.His companions cheered joyfully after seeing the sight, leaving him to fight Alani alone.The Islander bodyguards cautiously stood outside.Without Alani’s order, they would not dare pull the trigger as they pleased either.Naturally, the high and mighty Islanders could only give up in front of true evil.Alani looked horrible as her eyes twitched nonstop.She was strong. It would be a walk in the park for her to take out a man of that level.But after t
Derek Lowe was showing an expression as cold as ice.As the captain of Heaven’s Gate’s law enforcement and a part of the Lowe family, he was already an expert with weapons.The Islander bodyguards looked tough but had not had much combat experience since they were from the Way of Water.At that moment, they were easily suppressed by Derek’s dominance.“Drop your weapons.Shinsuke Yamamoto stepped in front of Alani Carlson.“If you keep provoking us, I’ll make you understand what it means to have Bushido Spirit!“You should know that we’ll have to end our lives if we don’t keep the lady safe!“Since that’s the case, we’d rather die fighting you instead!”“Bushido Spirit?Derek wretchedly chuckled.“You people should’ve killed yourselves after losing the Second World War then!“Kneel! Stop wasting my time!”Derek waved his hand before someone pulled the trigger again.Pfft!An Islander bodyguard instantly fell to the ground, looking terrified.Alani was utterly enraged.
Despite his calm demeanor, Harvey York gave off an air of danger as he stepped out.Derek Lowe and the other disciples were all looking miserable, their eyes twitching.Alani Carlson and Shinsuke Yamamoto looked at Harvey with disapproving expressions.Naturally, they did not know the capabilities of the man who had just shown up.“Tch tch tch…”Derek quickly came back to his senses before showing a sheepish grin.“What? Are you also here to retrieve Quill Gibson’s body?“Seems like he had quite a lot of connections back in Golden Sands after all!“Then again, did everyone forget he was only that impressive because of Heaven’s Gate’s support?“What a shame! You people should at least look into the people he offended!“That said, you should just kneel now that you’re here!“We’ve been sitting here for the longest time! We at least need to show some results, right?“Kneel!”The other disciples were chuckling wretchedly. Some were twirling their repeating crossbows before poi
Then, Harvey York carefully took Quill Gibson’s head.“Don’t worry.“I’m going to make sure that the truth comes to light, no matter what!“The Lowe family and the Bowie family will be with you after that.“You won’t be alone.Then, Harvey gave a Longmen disciple a box made of flower bear wood with Quill’s head in it.“Send people to find the rest of Quill’s body. Find the best people to put him back together. I want him to leave this world with his honor intact!“Find out where Darwin Gibson and the others are as well.”Rachel Hardy waved her hand before Derek Lowe and the other disciples were slapped to the ground and captured for questioning.How straightforward!Compared to Alani Carlson and the others’ fearful approach, Harvey and the others were just as direct as they could be!Alani and the others felt downright sluggish. They did not expect anyone to dare act this arrogant in Heaven’s Gate’s headquarters.Her eyes lit up when she saw Harvey and the others leave.“H
Alani Carlson approached Harvey York with a faint smile after seeing him walking away.“You’re just going to leave me like this? Are you sure you won’t regret your decision?“I can be pretty useful, you know.”“Do you even know where the Gibson family’s ancestral home is?“What about the remaining numbers of their family?“Or why did the Lowe family and the Bowie family even frame Mr. Quill in the first place?”Harvey lightly tilted his head.Alani swelled with pride after seeing the sight.“I know all that!“If you let me stay, I’ll deal with Mr. Quill’s grievances!“We’ll also shed the truth of the incident!“Well? Would you like to work together?“If we don’t, you might not even get to bring Mr. Quill home!”Harvey faintly smiled while looking at the proud woman before him.“Lead the way,” he said while waving his hand.Alani was as proud as a peacock when she smiled at Harvey, as if she won the fight.Shinsuke Yamamoto showed a serious expression while standing behi
At this time, Lanny was standing at the highest spot in the Forbidden Wasteland with her hands behind her back, but her mind was filled with helplessness.They were in huge trouble now!If only they invoked the Grand City's laws and rules, then they had a 100% chance of giving Harvey the guilty verdict. And if she managed to invite everyone on her list and everyone from the Four Pillars were their own, then she could still somewhat manipulate the outcome.But when Lanny was making her calls, she noticed that everyone important she managed to contact either immediately hung up on her or totally ignored her calls.Someone like her had always been able to catch the drift. And from these details, she could tell that while the Four Pillars might not stand with Harvey, they would be completely neutral when it came to dealing with this.If things develop that way, then the chances of convicting Harvey was a 50% chance.Lanny wanted to leave and get reinforcements from Grand City. But sh
"Dan! There's no need for you to be so pretentious and act like you're innocent!" Besides the sternness in Sienna's voice, her tone was sharp, as if she wanted to turn Dan into minced meat.Dan pretended to think about it a little before smiling, "Oh, don't tell me you're here for that Harvey? I believe an outsider wouldn't affect our relationship, would it?"Sienna coldly replied, "I can understand your fury when someone from Grand City died, and that person is your cousin. That's why I didn't stop you… I even supported you when you said you wanted to take Harvey away for an investigation. Because I believe that, as the Young Master of Parkerville, you will naturally learn everything you can about this."But I didn't expect that your sight could be so narrow… It is so narrow that it defies my expectations. You haven't even started the investigation yet and have already set up a trap for him? And you even drew the attention of the Sword Camp and the leader of Dragon Cell? You're rea
The Xaviers. Wolsing.Nashon was playing chess by himself. Sitting across him was Jesse with a grim expression. "I'll represent Dragon Cell to go to the Forbidden Wasteland this time. What are your orders?"Nashon's hand lifting a chess piece was stopped momentarily before saying, "What do you mean by orders? Dragon Cell represents justice in our country. Since we're attending it as part of the joint trial, of course, we need to be just and fair. Not only must we do this, but we also can't turn this into our weakness. Our relationship with Harvey is quite close. If there are any doubts in the verdict, not only will it be bad for us, but it will also be bad for Harvey."Jesse's expression was dark before he replied, "Is it possible for Harvey to actually kill Durandal?"Nashion calmly asked, "What are your thoughts?"At the same time, at the Yorks of HL Casino in HK City. Lexie had just finished bathing and putting cream on her body to exfoliate the dead skin. At this time, an old-
Janus quickly hopped off the Jeep Wrangler, his face full of excitement. "Boss, news from the front! The Dragon Gate's leader went to save Harvey, but because Lanny and her clique forced Harvey and the others, Harvey personally said he would accept a joint trial from five factions. Other than Grand City, all Four Pillars would be there. Whether he was guilty or not would depend on this trial!"When Emery heard that, he calmly asked, "Then, why are you so excited?"Janus walked over with his hand next to him. "Boss, he had been going against us for so long. Isn't it great if he's dead? Not only Grand City, but other than Dragon Gate, who sided with him, do you think the other three pillars would stand by him? The moment that he asked for a joint trial, his fate had already been sealed.""Oh, you…" Emery sighed as he could not help but squint his eyes. "Then, what's the reason for your presence here?""To give the Dragon Guards the orders!" Janus swiftly replied. "Everyone knows you'
Samuel's expression darkened. But just before his face was going to turn red in rage, Harvey stopped and waved his hand, signaling to Samuel there was no need to respond. Then, he calmly said, "Never. Are you saying that if I want to prove my innocence, I should go through the procedure and follow the rules and laws?"Neve smiled coldly. "That's right. Are you bold enough to do it? If you're not, then we…""Of course I do. Why not?" Harvey immediately cut Neve off. "However, not everything has to go through your laws and regulations. If we're going to do this, then we'll make it completely open and fair. Other than Grand City, all the Four Pillars will be there too. Dragon Gate, Dragon Palace, Dragon Cell, Dragon Guards… I want to be judged by all five sides."Do you dare accept this? If the verdict is that I'm guilty, then I'll kill myself on the spot without any hesitation. But if I'm innocent, then I will use my power as Country H's Martial Arts Alliance's representative to take
"Enough. There's no point staying here. This place is cold and lifeless. Let's return to Wolsing. We can have something hot together. I also have something I want to talk with you about," Samuel said as he patted Harvey's shoulder. Then, Samuel wanted to take Harvey with him."Nah," Harvey suddenly said. "I need to send Mandy back home first. Maybe over a cup of tea with milk to warm her body and stop her from shaking. We can go out another time."Everyone was stunned after they heard what Harvey had just said. How could Harvey reject an invitation from someone important like Samuel? Just… Who was he?But before they could even recover, Neve suddenly grabbed a hand crossbow from one of her followers and pointed it toward Harvey. It was clear that she was still upset. The madness on her face was tinged by vengefulness and pain as she shouted, "I know you're more important than any of us, Mr. Samuel! I know someone like you can ignore all the laws in this world! But where's justice in
It was obvious that Lanny had no choice but to say that. Since if she did not do that, not only would she ruin the Bennett family's reputation, but the entire Grand City's reputation would also be tarnished.""Oh, right. You're called Lanny? And you're threatening me with your predecessor? Are you from White Peak by any chance?" Samuel asked curiously.Lanny gritted her teeth and replied, "That's right. I'm from White Peak, one of the Seven Families of Grand City."Samuel smirked and said, "I have dueled Ares Bennett three times, and he lost to me three times. If I wanted to, I could have slain him immediately the last time if I wanted to. That's why Ares has to call me Mr. Samuel whenever he sees me on the street and listens to me. You're just a greenhorn from White Peak… And you're pretending to be something special before me?"Samuel did not bother showing Lanny any respect. "Not to mention, everyone here has a good head on their shoulders. What really happened and what the trut
"It's all a misunderstanding, Mr. Samuel!" said Lanny with a darkened expression."But just now, I heard something about fighting to the last man, and there were so many weapons being used here that were targeted against martial artists. Are you telling me there's a misunderstanding? Do I look like a fool?" Samuel gave a cold smile and waved his hand.A formless wave of energy instantly rolled against Lanny's men. Lanny and the others were shocked and used everything they could to block this attack, which took them by surprise.But it was useless.In just an instant, all the Grand City's youths did everything they could, but all of them had to take three steps back as they coughed out a mouthful of blood.Some distance away, some men with longbows and crossbows also grunted as they fell to the ground.In just a simple attack, the Forbidden Wasteland's defenses instantly crumbled.Perhaps this was what they meant by invincibility.No one from Grand City dared stand beside Harvey
The man who came wore a white robe with a cold expression. He looked around and spoke clearly, "I heard someone say my young master has committed murder. I'm here to see if any evidence and witnesses are saying so. If I find any of them are fake, I'll slay those and their families who claim so!"He said it casually, like an old man making a comment while sweeping the streets. However, everyone here could feel their heart skipping a beat.There was only silence.Even Ethan's gaze froze for a moment. That was because he sensed an aura from the old man, which was extremely close to the chief instructor.He was an elite!As for the rest of those from Grand City, they were all stunned. The old man was able to hover in the air. This could only be done when one had become one with nature! Could it be that other elites who were not from the Grand City had reached the same level?Even Lanny, who boasted that a great power supported her, could not help but watch, her expression pale and in
