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
Ricky kept changing expressions, as if he had something to say.But he understood that the Lowe family would chase him to the ends of the earth, even if Harvey spared his life.Harvey glanced calmly at Ricky; he naturally knew what a small fry like that was thinking.“Take him away. Give him half an hour. Dig a deeper hole if he doesn’t give us anything useful.The Great Protector and the others nodded respectfully before quickly dragging Ricky away.Devon, who had been watching everything, instinctively shivered.He wanted to scream at Harvey and the others to let Ricky go; after all, it was a blatantly humiliating thing for him to watch everything unfold in front of his eyes.That said, he wasn’t an idiot. He knew that he’d end up more horribly than Ricky if he said a single word.Even the Great Protector, Kaysen, and Ridge would be enough to make his life a living hell, let alone Harvey.Alani suddenly spoke up at this moment.“Isn’t that a little overboard, Sir York?“Ri
Harvey looked calmly at Ricky, and signaled Rachel to turn on the camera.“Talk. You have one chance.“Hopefully everything you say now is exactly the same as what you told them.“I’m a civilized man. I don’t want to kill you, but you better not toy with me.”Seeing Harvey’s calm expression, Ricky instinctively shivered. If the Great Protector frightened him, then Harvey’s expression was enough to make him feel nothing but despair.“I’ll talk… I’ll tell you everything,” he said after taking a deep breath, his voice hoarse. “Quill came to headquarters to deal with the outer elder being killed.“The Lowe family and the Bowie family finally had a chance to deal with him. So, they requested to retrieve the leader’s badge.“But Quill declined, and a huge fight happened after that.“The great elder and the second elder were no match against him.“After the fight, the Lowe family and the Bowie family’s reputation went completely down the drain. The cheers for Quill to become the ne
Before Devon could come to his senses, he instinctively slammed his knees to the ground.When he looked at Harvey, it felt like staring in the face of God. The weak defenses in his heart crumbled at this very moment.“Of… Of course…“Young Master Calvin told me to come…“He received reports.“The person who had the mental cultivation technique came back to the Gibson family’s residence.“He’s a step ahead of everyone…”Devon didn’t have a single thought of retaliating against Harvey. It couldn’t be helped; what could he even amount to when Ricky himself kneeled?“Where’s Calvin?” Harvey demanded. Devon’s eyes twitched.“He’s in the Heaven’s Hotel… He’s having a bachelor’s party with Ms. Emory. The prominent figures of Heaven’s Gate’s younger generation are there as well…”“So everyone’s gathered together, huh…?”Harvey smiled, then glanced at Alani.“I’ll be visiting Young Master Calvin. Are you coming?”Alani’s eyes twitched, and she showed an odd expression. “I’ll pass
In the middle of the hall, there was a handsome man in a robe with a string of red agate stones.He had a feminine appearance, and was smiling. The stones in his hand were unscratched; it was a proper heirloom treasure indeed. The bracelet would be worth hundreds and millions of dollars if it were to show up in an auction, yet he was just casually playing with it in his hand.This man was none other than the young master of the Lowe family, Calvin Lowe!There was a woman leaning on him as well.She was wearing a Chanel evening dress while flaunting her deep cleavage. A diamond necklace of at least ten karats was hanging on her beautiful neck. It was quite an eye-catching sight.The woman was the protagonist of the bachelor’s party, Emory Bowie.The two were a match made in Heaven!“Come! Let’s have a toast, Young Master Calvin!“I didn’t think that our brightest jewel of Heaven’s Gate would be taken by you! I’m jealous!“Sigh! This is just torture at this point!”“This is t
At the end of the day, the so-called party was an unofficial meeting.Everything was organized just so everyone would know that Calvin would be taking full control after the marriage between the Lowe and the Bowie family.He would be the one representing Heaven’s Gate in the future.Simply put, his reputation represented the reputation of Heaven’s Gate as well.And yet, someone dared to go against him!It was simply shocking.But soon, the people’s faces were filled with nothing but disdain. Whoever dared to go against Calvin then would surely suffer a horrible fate!Calvin and Emory’s expressions changed; they didn’t think someone would cause any trouble to them at such a crucial moment.Not only was this a challenge to them, but it was also a blatant show of disrespect toward both their families.Calvin’s beautiful face revealed a hint of murderous intent; scratches began to form on his agate stone bracelet as he fiddled it around.Several Longmen disciples blocked the entr
Harvey looked at Calvin, and let out a long sigh.“I expected as much.“So you won’t give me an explanation, is what you’re saying.“Well then, I’ll just take it myself.”Harvey said calmly, his arms still crossed.Calvin’s eyes suddenly twitched, even though he was filled with confidence.He thought Harvey might’ve had a trick up his sleeve. Anyone who could think would know the consequences of barging into a place like this.If Harvey still dared to do such a thing despite that, then surely he wasn’t just a man with a death wish!At the same time, Calvin was a little uneasy; he didn’t know what Harvey had to get the courage to demand his explanation.“Go!” Calvin ordered. “Take down this rebel!”Many elites of the Lowe family stepped up, holding their swords. No matter the case, the Lowe family was still a family of martial artists with a high position within Heaven’s Gate.The elites’ eyes lit up, and they raised their heads; they were clearly no ordinary fighters, to say
Harvey crossed his arms as he drew closer, ignoring the elites writhing on the ground.His movements weren’t fast, but every single step he took was filled with power.His aura grew stronger and stronger, gripping the hearts of all those around him. Everyone looked at each other; normally speaking, only an expert martial artist would even do something like this.However, Harvey didn’t have the skills at all! He was just a geomancy expert showing off with a badge!“Heh! You took down dozens of my men with a gun… Do you think you can flaunt your strength in a sacred martial arts training ground just because of that?”Calvin crossed his arms, and chuckled coldly.“I’ll show you what it means to be invincible! I’ll let you know that there’s always someone better than you out there!“Break their legs, Cullan! Throw them to the dogs after that!”The people around gasped immediately after hearing that name.“What? Cullan Lowe?! The legendary man who mastered both the Golden Shield an
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
