“Father, Osman…”Calvin froze, then took a few steps forward.“You’re finally here! You need to help me!”Emory frowned; she bowed without saying a word.Osman’s eyes flashed upon seeing his daughter’s actions, but he didn’t say a word about it.Adler stepped forward and sized up Calvin; after making sure that his baby boy wasn’t hurt, he scanned the place.“Impressive! Truly impressive!“He came here all the way to headquarters just to disrespect our family!“I heard that he’s protecting the Gibsons as well!“That bastard’s pretty damn cocky, huh?“What of the Law Enforcement Hall and its protectors?“Didn’t they always call themselves the fiercest people of Heaven’s Gate?“Why not just rip that damn bastard apart?!”Calvin felt awkward; there were some things he didn’t have time to explain.Emory made a face.“There’s something you don’t know, Uncle…“That man, Harvey York, has the leader’s badge! He has the same authority as the leader!“Simply put, he’s currently t
“We even managed to get Quill killed!” Adler exclaimed.“Can a man with his teachings make a comeback, if he only has a mere badge?“Look. Why don’t we make him fight the Gibsons instead?”Osman froze, then burst out laughing.“Not a bad idea! Let’s do just that!“Back then, to take the position of the seventh elder, Quill’s brother kneeled in front of us just to become our sworn brothers!“If we tell him that he only has a few years left in his position… Do you think he could get that man’s head for us?”Adler smiled.“He wouldn’t do just that. After all, he’s always been a heinous man!”Adler and Osman understood it well.They were shocked by Harvey’s arrogance, but… They decided to hold back for the time benign.The reason was simple: they weren’t able to be as unreasonable as Calvin, since Harvey had the leader’s badge. Aside from that, they haven’t figured out Harvey’s true strength yet.Under these circumstances, it’d be better to use the man who’d sell out anyone jus
Even Lance Gibson, who had always looked down on everyone, realized that Harvey York was probably Quill Gibson’s student, let alone Clover Gibson.He would have to deal with Harvey even before he was up to full strength.He quickly repressed his other feelings and acted with only respect for Harvey.The other members of the Gibson family had no choice but to go along with it.Harvey gave a slight nod in response before showing a hint of sorrow while looking at Quill’s remains.After being thoroughly examined by the undertaker, Quill was pretty much the same as he was alive.It was safe to say that the underworld was a dangerous place.Even a prominent figure would be dead for many reasons, let alone an ordinary small fry.Country H was still in disorder…Despite the calm exterior, there was bloodshed brewing just under the surface.Harvey, who had only wanted to live a quiet life, was changing.For his country to prosper, he needed to head to Wolsing.‘The top ten families,
“The mental cultivation technique?”Harvey York crossed his arms and smiled faintly.“How are you sure that I have the technique?”Alani Carlson looked righteous.“I’ve looked through the Gibson family’s—no…“For the Lowe family and the Bowie family, I’ve been searching for it all over, but to no avail.“And yet you showed up. You also fight a lot better than an ordinary geomancy expert!“Quill Gibson even gave you the badge.“Who else other than you?”“Smart.“I do have the technique that you’ve been searching for.“That said, what right do the Lowe family and the Bowie family have for me to use that as a trade?“Judging from their attitude, it wouldn’t be impossible to think they’d immediately burn the bridges after getting the technique either.“That’s why I’m not doing it.Harvey squinted at Alani.“You just focus on finding a good spot for Quill. Leave the rest to me.“After all, you should be calling me your uncle. You won’t suffer if you would listen to me.”Ala
Harvey York chuckled after seeing Rachel Hardy’s shocked expression.“I do have something that fits as a technique, but nobody will believe me if I say it anyway.“After all, some things are not worth much once it’s put to light.“For something like this…Harvey sighed and changed the subject.“Based on Alani Carlson’s attitude, the Lowe family and the Bowie family aren’t going to give up without a fight.“Let’s find another place to have tea. We’ll wait for them to cause trouble there.“This is Quill’s final resting place. He deserves to be left in peace.”-About ten minutes later, Harvey and Rachel arrived at a restaurant near the Gibson family’s residence.This place specialized in authentic breakfast meals.Apparently, the owner of the place used to be a disciple of Heaven’s Gate from Hong Kong.No other place in the headquarters sold similar foods, so the business was booming.By the time Harvey and Rachel got there, the place was already packed.The two found a ran
Everyone was dead silent while seeing the sight, but no one would dare speak up about such injustice.Harvey York curiously watched before showing a faint smile.“Mr. Holden?”Rachel Hardy skimmed through the documents on her phone before comparing a picture to the middle-aged man.“He’s the seventh elder of Heaven’s Gate. He belongs to the Gibson family…” she said with a frown.“His name is Holden Gibson.”Harvey gave a stern look.“The Gibson family? Quill’s brother?”“That’s right. They have the same blood as well.“That said, Holden had never stood with the family since the beginning.“It’s said that he had done many of the Lowe family and Bowie family’s biddings just for his position as the seventh elder.“Safe to say that he’s a truly heinous man. He’d sell out anyone if it meant securing benefits for him.“I also suspect that he’s deeply involved with Quill’s death.”Harvey gave a quick nod, then glared coldly.“So, the Lowe family and the Bowie family sent him to
Rachel Hardy let out a laugh.“There’s something you don’t know, Sir York.“Heaven’s Gate has a long history, but their martial arts are mostly about using brute strength. It’s very different from the other sacred martial arts training grounds that have perfected their craft.“That’s why the other sacred martial arts training grounds have always looked down on Heaven’s Gate!“They don’t even have any authority regarding the country’s Martial Arts Alliance!“They’re only used to being kings of their own territory. At the end of the day, they’re just ignorant people.”“I see.Harvey York had a look of realization.“Ignorant fools. No wonder they’re so arrogant about everything.”Holden Gibson’s expression darkened as soon as Harvey spoke.The other patrons were also showing weird expressions.Harvey and Rachel were spot-on with their comments about Heaven’s Gate.Heaven’s Gate was one of the sacred martial arts training grounds, yet it had been at the bottom of the barrel.A
“My God…”The crowd was shocked after seeing someone beside Harvey York slap Holden Gibson away without much effort.With just a single glance, everyone could tell that Rachel Hardy was an expert King of Arms.“How dare you hit me, you bastard?! You…Holden staggered to his feet, shielding his face.“Don’t you know I’m the seventh elder of the elder group?!“Don’t you understand what’ll happen if you go against me?!”Rachel casually stepped forward and swung the back of her palm forward.Slap!“So what if I hit you?”Slap!“You think you’re so impressive?”Slap!“Have you thought about what will happen if you go against Sir York?”Slap!“You want Sir York to kneel, and this is all you can come up with?“Are you still daydreaming?“As a member of the Gibson family, not only have you completely embarrassed your own family working for the Lowe family and the Bowie family…“Not only are you a shameless traitor as the seventh elder…“Not only are you standing with your en
"You are really quite impressive, Ethan. But do you dare to go against the Ministry of Defense's orders openly? I suggest you better give your great elder a call. Or maybe wait for him to call you!" Lanny said as if she had gotten an ace in a hole."I'm worried that you'll accidentally cause a chain effect and lose everything," Ethan coldly replied as he stared at Lanny with a similar coldness in his eyes. To him, none of his leaders could compare with the importance of the chief instructor. But the problem was, he could not inform the great elder why he did this. That was why even someone resolute like Ethan could not help but frown.However, his expression quickly returned calm. "Looks like Grand City isn't as powerful. Not only can you do nothing to me, but you even have to use your favors and connections from the past to stop me. And now, I'm even more convinced that Mr. Harvey is innocent! So, my apologies, but tonight, I don't care who calls me… I'm not going to stop!"Then, E
"You have reasons?" There was fury in Lanny's eyes. "Then tell me, what reasons are they?"Ethan seemed disdainful. "With your status? You don't have the right to know what the reasons are."He did not make that up, though. Lanny really did not have the authority to know Harvey's actual status. "Alright, let's not waste our time. Tell your people to put down your weapons, raise their hands, and squat over there. All my friends here are very impatient. If both sides went into conflict and accidentally killed a few people…"Well. It's going to be categorized as a training exercise accident. We don't have to bear any responsibility for it."Ethan's words were calm, as if everything he said made total and natural sense."Ethan!" Lanny shuddered in anger. "Grand City and the Ministry of Defense have always kept a respectful distance from each other. Are you going to make Grand City your enemy just for this man over here? Have you considered the consequences and whether it was worth it?
Grand City was outside the usual system within Country H. However, the truth was that it was a place where all the Sacred Training Grounds congregated together. Whether it was Country H in its current form or when all the other dynasties ruled it, it had always been an untouchable faction.Not to mention that they were protected by the Seven Families as well as the other Sacred Training Grounds. If they decided to fight, the power Grand City could call upon could far surpass what others could have imagined.That was why Lanny believed they had a fighting chance even when they faced the legendary Sword Camp."Grand City's reputation really does precede itself. And you're really quite impressive yourself," Ethan said as he clapped his hands. "If it's someone else, they would be kneeling on the ground shuddering, right? Unfortunately, you forgot that we survived on real battlefields. We do not fear death. Besides the Chief Instructor, every soldier in this camp is a King of Arms! Even
Harvey slightly frowned. He was shocked that Ethan had arrived. He even brought 500 soldiers from the Sword Camp. Was he attempting to destroy the entire Forbidden Wasteland?The 500 soldiers immediately encircled the entire Forbidden Wasteland as Harvey calmly watched how things developed. All of them had a sword by their waist, and their right hand was at the hilt. While they had not pulled out their swords yet, they were exuding a malevolent aura around them.Harvey had trained each of them, and they had all gone to war with him in the past. When they saw that Harvey was completely unharmed, they were both filled with excitement and relief. However, because of their orders, none of them went to salute him."So, this is the famous Forbidden Wasteland of World City. It was said that the people who were imprisoned here could never leave. I wonder if the Sword Camp can leave this place in one piece?"Ethan, who was in his military uniform, jumped off from the helicopter in mid-air.
Harvey narrowed his eyes as he looked at Lanny. There was only disdain in his eyes. "You said that you're doing everything by your law… But in truth, you simply want to make things worse. Despite looking like an agent of justice right now, what is happening right now is what you wanted the most."I'm the representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance, which makes me the mayor of Grand City in name. Whether you want to interrogate or set me up, all of you must consider the consequences of your actions. But what if I was the one that did it first? That would give you a reason to attack me, right?"I have to admit that it indeed worked in your favor, Lanny. But it also showed me the truth about Grand City! Rules and laws that have existed since ancient times? All of them were jokes and excuses!"Blade listened to Harvey with a dark expression, as if his beliefs were challenged. Meanwhile, Lanny remained calm. She breathed deeply and gave a cold reply, "Stop wasting your breath, Ha
All of Clarion's men exchanged looks. They did not want to but had no choice but to retreat. It was obvious that they could not simply watch Neve die like that. Harvey quickly motioned to Mandy, signaling for her to exit with her.Shortly after, they arrived at an empty space on the surface. An armed helicopter was waiting there. They had moved it here from somewhere, and it was also warmed up. Harvey took Neve hostage and was going to bring Mandy up into the helicopter.But before they could get any closer, hundreds of men and women in uniform appeared and surrounded them. They were all armed with weapons such as Rainstorm Needles and Royal Flushes, specially designed against martial arts masters. If they were used, the damage they could cause would be devastating."Do you really think you can escape, Harvey?" Lanny walked out from behind the crowd."I've indeed prepared a helicopter for you, but do you dare to go up? If you do, we have plenty of weapons to take it down so you can
Blade's expression turned extremely dark when he heard what Harvey had said. For someone like him, who had obeyed the laws of Grand City all his life, what Harvey had said was a hard pill to swallow. The point was that Harvey was right.While what happened looked like a coincidence, it resulted from Lanny's deliberate neglect. Was it not a joke for them to want Harvey to follow the rules when they themselves broke the rule first?However, Neve did not seem like she was threatened at all. She was already in a state of crazed fury, and she smiled. "You killed my fiance and then slapped me? Do you think you can leave just like this? Dream on! Even if I had to die today, I'll drag you down into the grave with me!"Crack!Harvey tightened his grip and snapped Neve's right arm. Then, he took the Rainstorm Needles and aimed them at Neve's head again. This simple action showed Harvey's determination.Neve almost let out a scream of pain as she could not stop shuddering from the pain of he
Neve, Lanny, and the others figured that once they captured Mandy, they would have it in the bag. They could do whatever they wanted to Harvey. However, they did not expect Harvey to respond with such fierceness."How dare you, Harvey!" After a moment of silence, Clarion finally reacted to what had happened. And as he waved his hand, everyone around him immediately rushed over. All of them raised the Rainstorm Needles in their hands, aiming at Harvey. It was as if they would turn Harvey into a beehive if he dared to make another move."How dare you touch me? Even my dad never hit me! You have a death wish! You're just a powerless representative! Even if you do have power, your demise is already determined after what you did openly just now!" Neve's face became twisted with anger."I might not be able to do anything to you if you don't touch me, but now that you did, no one in this world can protect you!" There was a crazed look on Neve's face. Obviously, she believed that Harvey wou
After Neve made her orders, all the men and women beside her revealed what was under their sleeves. They were all wearing the martial art weapons, the Rainstorm Needles. This was something ten times better than guns when targeting martial artists.However, Harvey ignored all of them and continued moving forward. He exclaimed coldly, "Stop! If any of you are going to continue to attack Mandy, I'm going to cripple you!"Neve gave an icy smirk. There was only disdain on her face as she narrowed her eyes at Harvey. "Who do you think you are, Harvey? Do you think you're in a position to make me stop just by telling me? Are you having heartaches for her? I'm going to hurt her right before you now!"Neve kicked Mandy to the ground and then stomped on her stomach. "You witch! Witch! Let's see who can stop you tonight! Durandal is already dead, and I don't want to live anymore! I'm not going to stop until you're dead!"Then, Neve revealed the Rainstorm Needles under her sleeves and put them
