“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
The restaurant patrons were completely shocked by the sight.Nobody thought that a man as tough as Holden Gibson would kneel.Typically speaking, anyone who went against him would suffer if they first did not die from it.And yet he was showing such a miserable sight.After seeing Harvey’s calm expression, everyone on the ground immediately labeled him as extremely dangerous.They were going against a truly powerful figure at that moment.When Rachel Hardy retrieved the badge, Harvey casually pocketed it and then stood up.He no longer glanced at Holden.But as soon as he reached the entrance, he stopped as if remembering something.“Kneel in front of Quill Gibson’s grave.“Reflect on the kind of person you are.“Make sure you know the things that you should be doing.”-After returning to the Gibson family’s residence, Alani Carlson stood at the entrance with a grim look.Shinsuke Yamamoto and the other Islanders also stood not too far away.After seeing Harvey, they ha
“I don’t care either way!“But I hope you’ll be more careful next time!Alani Carlson scowled.“This is the last time I’m reminding you! I hope you’ll cooperate with me to make the funeral run smoothly!”Harvey shrugged.“How do I do that?”“Simple!Alani had a righteous expression on her face.“Besides the mental cultivation technique, you’ll give me the leader’s badge for now!“Don’t you dare deny that you have it!“I received word that your bodyguard probably also has the technique, so you definitely do!“And with the badge here, you won’t be able to run around causing trouble outside!“That way, I’d be able to make sure that Mr. Quill’s funeral runs smoothly!“If you really respect Mr. Quill, you’d have to do as I say!“I won’t hurt you!”Alani strode forward with a serious look on her face.Harvey chuckled.“So, you’re saying…“That you want the mental cultivation technique right now…“Along with the badge?“That’s the only way to make sure Quill’s funeral goes
“What?! Not only did Holden not do the damn job, he’s also kneeling in front of Quill’s grave as we speak?!”“Everyone fears the seventh elder! How did he give up that easily?!”In the Lowe family’s main hall.The higher-ups of the Lowe family and the Bowie family were gathered there.At such a pivotal moment, the two families needed to stick together.That was why everyone was quietly waiting for Holden Gibson’s good news.In their minds, an outsider like Harvey York would have to suffer even if he did not die at the hands of a troublemaker like Holden.Maybe they would be able to see Harvey’s body then.They did not expect to receive such shocking news after waiting for so long.The families believed they had total control over Heaven’s Gate. This was no doubt an extremely embarrassing thing for them.“I heard that the leader’s badge Harvey has is actually real, Elder Adler!“Other than that, Quill also seemed to have passed down his technique to him!“Aside from the kid,
Adler Lowe’s words left everyone speechless.After looking at each other, they started to regain their confidence.Just like Adler said, this was Heaven’s Gate’s headquarters!Other than the Lowe family and the Bowie family, who else could take control of the sacred martial arts training ground?No matter how impressive Harvey York was, he could not flaunt his strength on someone else’s turf!Before they knew it, the people began to believe in themselves.They all looked at the Gibson family’s residence with an air of superiority, as if they could easily destroy it if they wished.“That’s right!“Harvey’s good at fighting, and he’s using the leader’s badge to show off!” exclaimed Osman Bowie.“But don’t forget! He’s only acting this way because he has something that belongs to Heaven’s Gate!“The mental cultivation technique belongs to us!“The leader’s badge also belongs to us!“If we get to the bottom of everything, the only things that are troublesome to us are things th
Along with Adler Lowe’s meticulous planning, the Lowe family and the Bowie family looked as if they were about to war machines against Harvey York.The chaotic situation became calm at that point.Everyone was showing righteous faces, ready to pounce at Harvey at any moment.This was the look of war!After seeing everyone relieved, Adler and Osman Bowie looked at each other before sighing with relief.They knew that Harvey was a formidable opponent. They feared this would cause their people to panic.What a blessing for them to use such a haphazard way to calm their people down!Adler and Osman were about to give a rousing speech to boost morale, when a loud bang at the entrance interrupted them.The wooden door was instantly kicked down, shocking everyone inside.“Who is it?!“How dare you kick the Lowe family’s door down?!”A bunch of enraged young men from the family rolled up their sleeves before strutting forward.The second they got close, they were instantly knocked
“Prince Gibson!“Did you not get a good night’s sleep last night?“Or are you still drunk?“Even your father wouldn’t dare say things like that! Are you still dreaming?!”The Lowe family and the Bowie family looked at Prince with disdain. His words seemed too crazy for them.“Looks like you won’t heed my warning after all.Prince showed a wretched look through his bandages.“Good!“That way, you’ll all die for sure!“I’ll be able to avenge my father!”‘We’ll all die?’‘Avenge his father?’The two families were infuriated by Prince’s pompous tone.When did a rich playboy from a rundown family even get the right to show off before the Lowe family and the Bowie family?“You finally managed to regain your life, yet you’re throwing it away again! You have nobody else to blame for this!”“We’ll send you straight to your father today!”The crowd coldly chuckled when they pulled out their weapons.Heaven’s Gate was a sacred martial arts training ground, so it was only natural
After hearing Adler Lowe’s orders, the families looked at each other and took a few steps back.Of course, they were also scared by Rachel Hardy’s skills.Since someone ordered them to stand down, the best they could do was to comply.The members of the family were all impressive people.They would just leave all the fighting and killing to their lackeys instead.On the wrong occasion, who would even dare stand out?With the right excuse, they would naturally give up immediately.Adler and Osman Bowie did not know they crushed the morale of the families’ higher-ups immediately after raising them.They would probably burst out in anger if they knew.Adler folded his arms in front of the crowd and gazed deeply into Prince Gibson’s eyes with a smile.“Since you’re here, I’ll give you a chance for our families’ sake.“Give us the technique your father stole…“And capture that bastard, Harvey York, alive!“That way, on behalf of the elder group, I’ll forgive the Gibson family f
"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
