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
‘What the hell?‘The Great Protector?‘The head of the Law Enforcement Hall?‘And the warden of the Imperial Prison?‘They’re all prominent figures of Heaven’s Gate!‘Why would they show up here now?‘Why are they being so respectful?‘Even Quill wasn’t able to get these people to act this way!’Devon’s eyes twitched, and he instinctively let go of his sword.His men weren’t idiots, either; they knew they were going against someone way stronger than them. They quickly stumbled out of the way before hiding in the corner.“Not bad. You’re pretty early,” Harvey said, looking at the Great Protector and the others.“I’ll remove your restrictions for a while, but they won’t disappear easily. “You’d need me to remove it every year.“If not, you’ll turn into cripples.”Harvey stepped up, and patted the four. “I hope you know how to do chores.”The surging energy in their bodies shrunk, and they could barely feel it.While the Great Protector and the others were relieved, and
His hands were tied up, and there was a stinky sock in his mouth. It was a miserable sight.However, his vengeful gaze was enough to show that he hadn’t fully given up yet.Harvey nodded; a Longmen disciple pulled the sock out of Ricky’s mouth.“You bastard! How dare you?“Don’t you know that this is completely heinous?“You kidnap me, Ricky Lowe?!“Do you even understand the consequences of your actions?!”Ricky gritted his teeth while he screamed his lungs out.“Let me tell you something! I belong to Heaven’s Gate!“My status in the family is only inferior to Calvin!“I can get your entire family destroyed for doing this to me!”Harvey looked at the Great Protector and the rest. “Looks like your methods are pretty flawed. This young master here doesn’t know what situation he’s in right now.”“This is my fault! I apologize!” the Great Protector said respectfully.He then stomped Ricky’s leg, snapping it in half.Kaysen came forward and snapped his other leg as well. Ridg
"In other words, you don't have to worry about this. I'll take care of it," Zayden said. "As for the Ninth Branch, that's the fruit of your labor. At least, I don't see anyone has the right to replace you as the head. Unless you have made a very serious mistake, your status as the head of the Ninth Branch is guaranteed. Remember, never say something like giving up your spot as the head ever again."Top families like the Jeans of Mordu have their own rules. There are certain positions that can't be taken just because you wanted to, and there are those that you can't leave just as easily as well."Mandy was stunned after she heard Zayden's criticism of her. Then, she nodded. "Understood. Thank you for your lesson, sir. I will do everything I can in the service of the family."Mandy wasn't that surprised to see that Zayden was willing to make a personal appearance. Since Kyros didn't show any respect to the Jeans of Mordu, Zayden needed to make a show of force once things reached thi
After about half an hour, Mandy finally saw figures appearing at the entrance. She grew a little uneasy. She put down the phone that she was using to work, and stood up."Ms. Mandy, Mr. Zayden is now ready to see you." Ms. Judd smiled and signaled Mandy to come with her. The estate might look quite small, but in actual fact, the entire land surrounding it was considered part of the estate. Without someone leading the way, no one could find their destination.Very quickly, Ms. Judd took Mandy to the Storm Pavilion in the garden. This place was quite warm, and it made Mandy feel quite relaxed. In the middle of the pavilion was a table with several plated snacks. They were all things that could be found in the countryside, like peanuts and carrots. Other than that, there was a bowl of barley.A man around fifty years of age was just getting ready to eat when he raised his head and smiled at Mandy. "Why are you here, Mandy? Aren't you supposed to be in Wolsing handling the Ninth Bra
Purdue Mountain, Mordu.A brand new Mercedes-Maybach drove into an ancient estate on the hill of the mountain. As it was close to the ocean and the temperature quickly dropped during the fall season, other than some coldness from late autumn, the estate also carried a certain frigidity.Mandy got out of the car wearing a thin jacket, looking at the ancient structures within the estate. Some of them were centuries old, and no one could tell how long they had existed. However, the buildings looked like they were newly constructed. The Jeans of Mordu would renovate and repair the buildings once every three months, as well as install the newest technology.Just that alone was evidence of how important this place was for the Jeans of Mordu. The truth was that this was the residence of the patriarch of the Jeans of Mordu, Zayden. He had been extremely discreet these past years.Normally, the patriarch of the Jeans of Mordu would stay here. All his words and actions would decide the ent
"You…" Royce gritted his teeth, wishing he could slap Harvey. However, he knew that Harvey did this intentionally to take revenge against them, giving him a so-called choice. Harvey did it to completely humiliate both him and Kyros.Harvey also wanted to use this matter to create a crack in the Wright of Wolsing and the Yates of Country A's relationship during their honeymoon period. The problem was, Royce didn't have a choice. If Harvey truly decided to do whatever he wanted, then both he and Kyros would be in deep trouble.Royce gritted his teeth for a long time before finally slowly bending his knee and said, "I'm sorry…"Harvey immediately raised his foot and kicked Royce to the floor. "I know you're not sincere in your apologies, but I'll still accept it with mercy. But remember—if you want to do something in the future, do it for me. If you do anything to the people close to me again, even your gods can't protect you."And then, Harvey grabbed Xynthia's hand and left. H
As the leader of the top ten families, the Wrights of Wolsing had their own duties and responsibilities. They needed to maintain the high and mighty image of the top families in the hearts of the commoners.Once this was fully exposed, perhaps the people from the precinct and Dragon Cell wouldn't take any action against the Wright family, but Emery might personally eliminate him in the name of justice to protect the family's reputation.Since Emery hadn't truly become the leader of the family yet, Sienna was still present to challenge him.If Harvey really decided to reveal this without a care, then Sienna would use this chance to make things worse for Emery. Especially during an inner struggle, a microscale change can sometimes cause a big enough change.Of course, the most important part of this was that Kyros worried this would really affect Emery's ascension. That was more important than Harvey's wanton actions.Even Royce's expression also became pale. It was true that he was
It was obvious Kyros had mastered the way to threaten someone using the people close to them. Or perhaps, it was easier to say that few people could escape the laws of what he had said. Few people could be an island in this world.In short, Kyros had never treated Harvey as someone he had to take seriously even in his subconscious. He was from the Wrights of Wolsing, the leading family of the top ten families.Blaine, Hector, Dan, and the other scions within their ranks might make it worth his time, but Harvey was definitely not one of them."Oh, you're offering me a lesson," Harvey chuckled as he heard his words."I'm not giving you a lesson. I'm simply telling you that there are rules in this world that you can't escape no matter what," Kyros said sincerely. "For example, it might make you feel good to hit my head until it's bleeding, but now that you've calmed down, don't you feel any regret about it? Didn't you feel lucky that I'm still alive? Otherwise, how do you think this w
"These two titles might be enough to scare countless others to submission," Kyros said with a smirk. He then lit up a long cigar and puffed out a smoke ring. "But to us Wrights of Wolsing, that's pointless…"Harvey calmly said, "So that won't work, then?"Kyros smirked. "For the time being, yes. Maybe you can show us some other things, see if they can scare me too…""I think this should be able to scare you." Harvey couldn't be bothered with continuing this conversation. He grabbed a glass ashtray and then slammed it on Kyros' head.There was a bang, and the ashtray shattered as blood sprayed.After what Harvey had done, the arrogant Kyros was instantly in a bad state. Blood was dripping from his forehead, making his face look brutal."What?!" Royce looked at Harvey in disbelief as his mouth opened wide, as if he didn't know how to react. Kyros' companions and his bodyguards were all similarly stunned. No one expected Harvey to attack when the negotiation went sideways.It wasn'
"If you ask me, I don't mind making concessions. If you can call one of the direct descendants from the Jean family to come over and offer an apology, I can consider this matter over. Otherwise, just the Jean family's reputation alone isn't enough. But even then, can the Ninth Branch ask any of them here?" Kyros' face was filled with contempt.It was true that being one of the top ten families was very impressive, but the difference in status between a direct descendent and a descendent from a branch family was quite wide. Someone from the ninth branch of the Jeans of Mordu wanted to force someone from the direct branch of the Wrights of Wolsing to back down?They must be joking.Xynthia wasn't sure what to say at this time, as she had run out of words.At this time, Harvey interjected calmly, "You know what's really going on when it comes to who's being right and wrong. Since Xynthia wants to settle this peacefully, I'm willing to take that route as well. But looking at how fo
Kyros' words carried a hint of laziness and brazenness. It was as if the entire Wolsing had already been crushed under the Wrights' heels. It was as if no one would doubt their strength.After he said that, the man called Raiden revealed a cruel smile and waved his hand. All the other men and women, clad in exotic outfits, moved out of the way, each with a gun in hand. They immediately locked down the entire restaurant. Some of them even calmly revealed their permits and showed them to everyone.In a place like Wolsing, it was almost impossible for someone to possess any firearm legitimately. That alone was enough to explain a lot of things."You're scared now, aren't you?" Royce said coldly as he dialed another number. Another group of security guards rushed in and immediately blocked all the exits. It was clear they weren't going to stop until someone was dead.This could explain a lot of things indeed.However, Harvey didn't think too much about this and simply smiled. Meanwh
