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
At the Heaven’s Gate People Hospital…Harvey quickly sent Darwin and the others here instead of home.Shinsuke and the others were waiting there, but as long as they didn’t accomplish their goal, the Gibson family would be safe. Harvey didn’t have to worry because of that.However, Darwin and Prince’s injuries were all too heavy. Even if Harvey managed to keep their hearts and lungs, they still needed surgery to get better.Shay was fine enough; she’d be safe as soon as the drugs to weaken her body wore off.The hospital was still bustling even this late at night. As Heaven’s Gate’s dedicated hospital, the doctors hired here were all professionals. Not only were they proficient with physical injuries, but internal ones as well.Oddly, nobody came to treat Darwin and Prince even after ten minutes of Harvey bringing them here. The two nurses who were on standby were happily chatting with each other, as if nothing happened.Seeing that, Rachel couldn’t help but step forward.“Can
Darwin and Prince needed emergency rescue since they were badly injured; Shay on the other hand was mostly fine.Harvey got Shay a can of soda, then told Rachel and the disciples to keep an eye on the emergency room.“What happened when you came all the way here, Shay? Why did you three fall to the Law Enforcement Hall that easily?”Harvey believed that with Darwin’s personality, he’d definitely bring experts beside him. Even so, they all suffered a lot of losses before being locked up.If it wasn’t for Harvey, they would’ve died without even knowing why.Shay took a deep breath.“We had thirteen assassinations on us the moment we left Golden Sands. The hundred experts we had were already missing when we arrived at headquarters.“We ran into Heaven’s Gate’s Forbidden Army at the front gate.“They said that they knew what happened to us, so they wanted to save us and provide us protection… “We knew something was wrong, but we couldn’t just go against the Forbidden Army, eithe
The next day…After staying in the emergency room for an entire night, Darwin and Prince finally managed to wake up. However, they still needed to rest here for the time being.Harvey gave hundreds of thousands more to move them to the hospital’s biggest VIP ward, and arranged a few Longmen disciples to keep the two safe.It was already past ten when everything was settled.Harvey felt a little tired after staying up the entire night.The rest returned to the Gibson family’s residence.Quill’s funeral was already being arranged by Shinsuke.Seeing the fake smile on Shinsuke’s face, Harvey didn’t speak up about him telling Kaiser to help. Of course, he only wanted to make sure that Shinsuke didn’t do anything out of line. Plus, he didn’t trust Kaiser that much.It’d be best for the two to go against each other.Alani frowned when she saw how Harvey did everything; she was afraid he’d end up reaping the spoils. She went to a corner, and sent out a text she had already made befor
In the past, the Gibson family was powerful. With Quill’s protection, the family gained authority in Heaven’s Gate.But now…Devon chuckled.‘How ignorant can this family get?‘The Gibson family’s done for! Why can’t they see that?‘How dare they get an outsider to barge into the Imperial Prison!‘They got Darwin and Prince out, too!‘They’re lawless!‘That’s fine. The Forbidden Army had no excuse to search the Gibson family’s residence for the mental cultivation technique before…‘But now, we can do whatever we want!’Without a second thought, Devon showed a stern expression before he pointed at Lance and Clover.“You two! Give us the culprit who barged into the Forbidden Place!“If not, you’ll be charged for hiding criminals too!“That alone is enough of a reason for me to kill off your entire family!”Devon chuckled wretchedly.“Go! Question and capture anyone necessary! Kill anyone who tries to resist!“This is my order! Nobody else can change that!”Before the F
Devon was shivering in anger after hearing those words.“You want to die, you bastard?!”He only came here after receiving a secret report. A disciple of Quill outside of the family managed to take Darwin and the others away.That disciple also had the mental cultivation technique.It was why Devon came with his men as soon as possible. Not only was he planning to crush the Gibson family, but he was also planning to obtain the technique and become a God of War.He wouldn’t just leave because a nobody came out to insult him.What a joke that would be!“Go! Take them all away! Kill everyone who resists!”Devon changed his expression, and furiously waved his hand.The Gibson family went pale, and they all felt like screaming at Harvey. But before they could, Rachel took a step in front of Harvey, ready to go against the Forbidden Army.Bang, bang, bang!Loud gunshots were heard; Rachel took action without holding back. The Forbidden Army couldn’t even react as she grabbed two f
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
