“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
“The Heaven’s Fist has always been passed down to people of the Gibson family, right?” asked Harvey York calmly.“When did this become the Lowe family’s technique?”“There’s something you don’t know, Sir York,” Alani Carlson whispered.“The Heaven’s Fist is only passed down from the family, but they only possess the training method.“Rumors say that the Lowe family’s mental cultivation technique has not been shown to the world for over a hundred years!“And yet Mr. Quill managed to treat his paralysis through his technique completely!“It was clear that the Gibson family managed to get the Lowe family’s technique!“This means that the family would surely rise in ranks in Heaven’s Gate!“Once Mr. Quill perfects his technique, he’d become a God of War!“His position as the next head of Heaven’s Gate would be solidified!“That was why the Lowe family and the Bowie family didn’t hesitate to take action. Since they desperately wanted to rise to power, they immediately framed Mr. Q
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
