The door of the Law Enforcement Hall opened.The place was ten thousand square feet wide.All sorts of torture equipment were placed everywhere. Dark red trails with a foul stench could also be smelled on the equipment.Two people were lying on the ground while they were twitching, lying in a puddle of blood.The torturers were quite good at their job, though. Even though the people on the ground were subjected to heinous torment, their safety did not seem to be compromised either.That said, this was a lot more cruel.They would be better off dead at this point.When Harvey walked past the entrance, a few disciples pushed a woman with a beautiful figure outside.It was Shay Gibson.She seemed utterly unkempt. Her face had completely lost all color, but her stubbornness still showed.The disciples in charge of pushing her out were smiling faintly.“Mr. Kaysen! To prevent this woman, along with Prince and Darwin Gibson, from attempting suicide, I’ve administered drugs to weak
Compared to Ridge Thompson’s desires, it was clear that the mental cultivation technique and the Gibson family’s martial arts were more important to Kaysen Tapp. After all, those things would be able to make anyone become a God of War.In Kaysen’s eyes, he would do anything just to achieve that goal.Since Ridge was this perverted, he would not mind using him just to crush Shay Gibson’s spirits.He had interrogated too many people in his life. To him, a woman’s heart was easier to control than a man’s.Ruining a woman’s innocence was more dire than any punishment.Without a second thought, Kaysen glanced at Shay, smiling faintly.“I’ll keep it simple, Ms. Shay.“Either you spill everything out right now…“Or you stay with Mr. Ridge here until he’s done with you.“I’ll give you one minute to think this through!“Mr. Ridge is a ruthless man! He’d usually take two hours just to get through a single session! That’s a worse torture compared to any other punishment here!”Wretched
“I’ll also give you a choice!“Either you break every single one of your limbs and beg for mercy…“Or I crush your bones one by one, making your life a living hell!“Don’t you dare doubt me either! I am the warden of the Imperial Prison! I am King here!”Ridge Thompson waved his hand before eight guards stepped forward while cracking their necks.They were showing fierce expressions with firearms in hand.In their eyes, a scrawny man like Harvey York would almost be as easy to crush as a chick.Shay Gibson instinctively shivered. She had suffered a lot after being brought to the Imperial Prison. Even the arrogant person she was formerly would lose all color on her face after suffering this much.Harvey patted her head.“Rest now. It’s okay now.”Then, Harvey drew his thumb along his throat.The guards were taken aback by Harvey’s calm expression as he made the gesture.“Are you threatening us, kid?!” one of the guards exclaimed while coldly chuckling.“What a joke!“It do
“You just had to get yourself in trouble, huh?!“Then again, you came at just the perfect timing!Ridge Thompson coldly chuckled.“Everyone! Shut the door and let the dogs out!“Go together! Whoever takes him down, I’ll triple their promotion and reward them with 1.5 million dollars!”Along with Ridge’s order, dozens of guards around the place excitedly pounced forward with firearms in hand.Someone even went to shut the door.Harvey York exhibited extraordinary strength, but this was the Imperial Prison!Hundreds of guards were deployed all over!He would drown in spit if they wanted to kill him this way! There was no point to be scared of him!“Disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall! Take down this kid right now!” exclaimed Kaysen Tapp while holding his fidget walnuts.Dozens of disciples appeared after hearing that order. They did not have any firearms, but repeating crossbows with bright blue tips were seen in their hands. They were naturally prepared to kill Harvey at th
Sounds of gunshots were gone right as Harvey and Alani locked eyes.Rachel pulled the last trigger, gunning down yet another guard, before picking up another firearm and walking toward Harvey.She looked as if she would crush anyone who tried to go against Harvey.After seeing all the people lying on the ground powerless, Ridge and Kaysen’s faces immediately went pale. The prideful disciples wore horrible expressions as well.“Who the hell are you, kid?!” Ridge screamed. “Do you even understand the consequences of doing such a thing?! This is Heaven’s Gate’s headquarters! We have people who enforce the law here! How dare you show off here as you please?!”“No matter how good you are at fighting, can you beat the ten thousand disciples here? Can you beat the Eight Halls and thirteen branches of Heaven’s Gate?!” Kaysen yelled as well.“Going against us would mean going against all of Heaven’s Gate!“You’d be fighting the country’s Martial Arts Alliance along with all the sacred ma
Before Snake could say anything, Harvey calmly stepped forward. The tiles on the ground in front of him instantly cracked, and their shards flew all over the place.Fwoosh! In the blink of an eye, the so-called protectors of the Law Enforcement Hall were sent flying, clutching their chest. Some were completely knocked out after slamming into the corner of the wall, while others were shivering in pain.Everyone was crippled instantly.Kaysen and Ridge were shivering frantically, and their eyes kept twitching.‘This strength! He’s just too strong!’‘Even Quill at his peak didn’t seem that powerful!‘At this point, only the great elder and the second elder are capable of doing against him!’Snake kept changing expressions; she was still standing, but she knew full well that Harvey had spared her.His combat power was simply amazing!Snake froze instantly; she wouldn’t even dare move a single inch!Even the Great Protector, whom she idolized, didn’t seem capable enough to go
Kaiser shivered; if he wasn’t being forced to stand straight, he would’ve probably been kneeling on the ground or passed out already.While everyone was shocked by the Great Protector’s presence, Harvey only shrugged.“The Great Protector? Sounds impressive.“I wonder how much stronger you are compared to Kaysen.”The Great Protector squinted at Harvey.“You’re pretty cocky, kid!” he snarled.“Not only did you barge into a place like this to save a bunch of heinous criminals, but you even took advantage of the Heaven’s Gate’s higher-ups!“And now, you’re even ridiculing me!“Looks like you really don’t know just how powerful Heaven’s Gate really is, do you? Do you have any idea what the sacred martial arts training grounds represent?!”“They told me that already,” Harvey replied. “They’re kneeling right now. Are you doing the same or not?”“Kneel?” The Great Protector laughed, as if he heard the world’s greatest joke.“You have no chance for that anymore.“I gave you a chan
The Great Protector wanted to switch moves, but he was all too late.He had no choice but to commit, when at the next moment…Slap!The Great Protector felt a sharp pain on his face, and was sent flying. He slammed right into the steel door at the back.He quickly stumbled off the ground, pointing at Harvey; he wanted to say something, when blood gushed out of his mouth.The Great Protector was in despair; he felt nothing but sorrow. At this very moment, he felt a strong surge of energy sweeping around his body. He had to use his entire strength just to resist.Bam!He slammed his knees to the ground.He never thought that the young man in front of him was so terrifying. He trained for decades at hand, and yet, he was injured that easily.If Harvey had used a killer move, the Great Protector would’ve admitted defeat. The fact was, he only used a simple slap across the face.The Great Protector had no intention of fighting back at all at this very moment.The entire crowd w
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
