“Aaargh!”Screams of pain were heard; the bald man rolled on the ground, twitching.His face bore a wretched expression; he was filled with disbelief, as he couldn’t believe that Harvey would actually pull the trigger.The others froze; they stared at Harvey, baffled. They didn’t understand why Harvey still dared to take action under such circumstances. They believed that he was being reckless.“Harvey York!” Rhea yelled. “How dare you do this to the people of the Martial Arts Alliance?! Do you want to die?”The people behind Rhea quickly pointed their firearms in Harvey’s direction.Bang, bang, bang!Harvey didn’t hesitate to pull the trigger again. His opponents were sent flying instantly. They held their wrists in pain.Seeing them completely defeated, Rhea’s expression worsened.“Who gave you the courage to do something like this? Don’t you know that you won’t be the only one suffering by doing this? Your entire family will join you as well!”Harvey smiled, then pointed t
“Fine. Since you like to kneel that much, then do it already,” Harvey replied.He moved his firearm, then pulled the trigger.Bang, bang!Rhea felt a sharp pain in her knees, and fell to the ground kneeling.Harvey then threw his firearm away.“Rachel,” he ordered, “take her with me to the peak of headquarters.”-Twelve o’clock at noon.Harvey took Rachel and Rhea to the peak of Heaven’s Gate’s headquarters. The place was used to organize grand events, and all sorts of battles within Heaven’s Gate would be held here. Many traces of battle along and trails of dark blood were all around. It was quite a terrifying sight.Cold wind howled. Harvey and the others reached an abandoned pagoda. Harvey crossed his arms as he looked calmly at Golden Sands and the clouds above.“You can’t kill me after all, Harvey! You’re just a coward!” Rhea screamed. “You’re scared of dealing with the consequences if you do kill me!”Rhea, whose legs were now crippled, raised her head and reveale
Harvey ignored Calvin, treating the latter as if he had no right to have his attention.Calvin chuckled wretchedly after seeing the calm look on Harvey’s face.“Right, Harvey! To thank you for such a big gift during my bachelor’s party…“I got someone to pick a tasteful coffin in the Golden Sands just for you. It’s made completely out of carbonized wood from the Northsea!“You’ll have a great time inside, I’m sure!”Calvin waved his hand; a few people of the Lowe family threw the coffin to the ground. The coffee was pure black; its gloomy-looking exterior made many people shiver.“I even picked a great spot to bury you. Your entire family will have nothing but destruction coming after that!“Right! When you die…“I won’t kill anyone that you’re close to. I’ll make their lives a living hell and watch them suffer instead!”Harvey finally raised his head to look at Calvin. “Just because of your words, the Lowe family won’t exist after this.”“Are you still pretending even right
“Keep being stubborn, Harvey!” Bryn snarled.“You’ll know what I’m capable of soon enough!“And keep your mouth clean when talking about Young Master Calvin!“He prepared a coffin and a burial spot just to keep your body intact!“Forget showing gratitude, but you’re still yapping away!“How did the country breed such an uncivilized bastard like you?!”“I don’t need the coffin. If you like it, you can hop in yourself,” Harvey replied. “I’ll find some people to bury you if you want, I guess.”“You…” Bryn was boiling with anger.Then, she remembered something.“Right! My sister went to look for you this morning. Where is she? Why isn’t she back yet?”Harvey smiled. “Your sister? Rhea? Sorry, but she’s already crippled…”“Heh! You did that?” Bryn was filled with nothing but disdain, thinking that Harvey was only capable of showing off. “My sister brought a lot of experts with her! You wouldn’t even get to lay a single finger on her! You…”Before she was done talking, Rachel mov
Bryn grew unhappier after hearing Harvey’s words.“Do you really think you’re still the representative of the country’s Martial Arts Alliance?“Let me tell you something! Your badge is completely useless now!“When you die, I’ll become the new representative!”Harvey glared at Bryn.“You don’t have the right, even after training for eight whole lifetimes. Don’t you understand your own limits?”Harvey glanced at the road when he sensed a strong aura getting closer.Meanwhile, Bryn was shivering in anger after hearing Harvey’s words. He was just too rude.Not only did he disrespect her and cripple Clyde and Rhea, her siblings… He never once cared for her identity, either.Based on her status alone, it didn’t matter if she was in Flutwell or the Golden Palace. Everyone would have to show respect. And yet, a dismissed representative was still talking big in front of her then.This was simply unforgivable! Her pride would be tarnished if she didn’t teach Harvey a lesson!“Your Ho
Layton greeted the others while ignoring Harvey, trying to create pressure that way. The others were very cooperative; Harvey looked as if he was completely isolated.Rachel frowned, but she didn’t say anything about it.A huge fight was about to happen, and psychological warfare was also a part of it. Since this was Heaven’s Gate’s headquarters and Harvey was on Layton’s turf, he could only remain passive.He crossed his arms, as if he didn’t care.“What’s with all the yapping, Layton? Are you done with your eulogy?”The crowd froze instantly; the bustling liveliness immediately became dead silent. Everyone was filled with shock as they turned to Harvey.‘This bastard doesn’t fear death!‘He’s still trying to provoke Mr. Layton now!‘He managed to gain footing that way, but he’s just digging his own grave!’“Not bad. Interesting…”Layton turned around before looking at Harvey.“You’ve got guts, even now… Whether you’re actually that brave or not, you have the right to die b
“That’s it?” Harvey said disdainfully after Layton kept missing him.“Ignorant brat!”Layton scoffed, then changed into his other killer move.The Crackling Fist!Layton’s aura expanded around his fists; he wasn’t looking for power this time, but speed.Confident in his muscles, he shook his fists forward without pause while ignoring his defenses. It was a fierce sight. Even so, he couldn’t leave even a scratch on Harvey.Seeing Harvey calmly evading all the punches while standing in place, Layton was infuriated.He was a God of War, an experienced martial artist. His reputation would be tarnished if the world knew he couldn’t land an attack on someone inferior.Without hesitation, he tore off his sleeves, and his arms trembled. The pieces of fabric flew right at Harvey, as if they were hidden weapons.Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!Against such offenses, Harvey only stepped to the side.Layton quickly rushed toward Harvey, as if he knew Harvey’s next move; he revealed a wretched s
Layton frowned as he looked at Harvey, not showing any other reaction.Bryn and the others looked as if they realized something.‘I thought Harvey was actually capable! So that’s what’s going on!’‘If Layton didn’t go easy on him, he would’ve been dead by now!’‘And yet, he’s still acting like he’s actually impressive! What a shameless bastard!’‘Normally speaking, he should’ve admitted defeat after realizing how generous Layton was being!’Zaid stood not far away from Bryn, and chuckled.“All sacred martial arts training grounds know that Heaven’s Gate is fighting for justice and to uphold the reputation of the country’s Martial Arts Alliance. Hopefully, we’ll get another representative in Gangnam after this fight.”Bryn quickly understood what he was saying.“Don’t worry, Young Master Zaid. Who else can that be but you?“When I become representative of the Martial Arts Alliance, I’ll get the sacred martial arts training grounds to recommend you!”Zaid flashed her a profoun
Maya was slightly stunned. However, she had always been very trusting of Harvey. She didn't say anything and quickly prepared the contract.When Durandal saw what was happening, he smiled coldly and immediately signed his name.Just as Harvey was going to sign his name, Mandy's expression turned dark and said, "Harvey, why don't we bet my hand? This is a Ninth Branch affair. It didn't have much to do with you in the first place."Harvey could sense Mandy cared about him and smiled. "Don't worry, I'll be fine. Not to mention, certain things are unavoidable. You and the Ninth Branch are simply taking hits on my behalf. Trust me, I can manage this."Mandy hesitated a little and wanted to say something, but before she could, Durandal already said coldly, "Enough with the mushy nonsense. If you can't take a wager like this, I'm more than happy to let you both lick my boots a hundred times. After that, we'll call it even!"Harvey patted Mandy's shoulder and picked up the pen to sign his
"Your underlings are either Boxing Champions or Sword Champions. While they all sounded terrifying and their names quite stylish, and sound like they can defeat everyone that stands before them…" Harvey began coolly."Everything you did is so you can take all of the Ninth Branch's money, isn't it? If that's the case, why waste everyone's time? Let's do it decisively. We'll settle everything in one go. Of course, if you're scared, you can tell me too. I won't force you."Harvey shook his head and looked at Mandy. "This is boring, Mandy. Let's go, he's just a coward. I wonder where this spoiled brat comes from? He's scared of getting smacked by his own hand if he loses a few pennies. There's no need to waste time with people like this."When Mandy heard it, she said, "That's right. There's no need to waste time with rubbish."Durandal smiled coldly when he heard how they were mocking him. "No need for such sarcasm. I'm telling you right now, I'm not afraid of playing a game like th
"If you're sober, bend your knee to the ladies and apologize, or I'll kill you!" Harvey snarled.The long-haired man was arrogant, but it was obvious for all that Harvey was even more so. All the spectators were shocked. It was the first time they saw someone acting so arrogant.The long-haired man finally realized what had happened; he held his face and yelled, "You idiot! How dare you touch me?"Harvey gave him another slap. "So what if I do? Can't I afford to? Do you want me to hit you a dozen times?"The long-haired young man didn't expect Harvey to make a move despite the current circumstances, and was completely stunned. He held his completely swollen face and screamed, "How dare you touch me! Kill him! I want him ground to dust!"Clang!Just as the men and women wanted to stand and attack Harvey, Durandal put down the teacup in his hand with a clang. He waved his right hand and said, "All of you… Are you blind? Can't you see that this is Ms. Mandy Zimmer, the leader of t
"150 million isn't enough?""1.5 billion?"Everyone gasped the moment they heard what Harvey had to say. At the same time, many people turned and looked at him at the same time. Aside from shock and disbelief, they looked like they were looking at a fool.Everyone could see that Durandal had already completely decimated this underground fighting pit. The Ninth Branch had lost hundreds of millions of dollars by now. No matter how sharp Maya's tongue was, it couldn't hide the fact that they had lost a lot of money.So when Harvey took the initiative and said something like that, many simply thought it was for their pride. Everyone knew that at this time, one should surrender and not scream in defiance. The men and women around Durandal all stared at Harvey. They didn't feel scared or excited, simply scornful.Mandy wanted to say something, but after hearing Harvey, she decided to keep silent and let him take control of everything. She believed that he could help her."Madam! Sir
Maya looked horrified. She was the one organizing things for the Ninth Branch. This fighter was already the most powerful the Ninth Branch had, but she didn't expect him to act like a complete newbie.As for Durandal, he picked up his teacup and sipped it. His phone screen was showing a game. It was obvious the fight in front of him had already been decided…and he was bored. A mobile game was even a better time killer than this.In some way, this was truly a way of showing how high and mighty he was.Meanwhile, a woman wearing a coat next to Durandal looked at the fight with scorn. It was obvious that the fight in front of her wasn't that interesting.After exchanging blows, the fighter from the Ninth Branch had completely lost his advantage. The Boxing Champion spun and broke his right arm in one strike.Crack!Before he could even scream, the Boxing King swooped right in front of him, then grabbed his head before punching him with all his might.Pfft…Blood immediately came o
"It was clear that this so-called champion had won countless matches. Otherwise, the spectators wouldn't be so excited when they saw him. Some of the women roared and screamed as if they were on cloud nine. The air was full of passion and excitement, as if this champion could really defeat everyone under the sun.Mandy frowned as she looked at the scene, and said slowly, "That's the elite fighter Durandal brought here. From the way he fought, he was indeed someone who had been fighting in underground fighting rings like ours for a long time. He calls himself the Boxing Champion, and has already won five bouts today. He has won at least 75 million dollars from us.""I see… He's a money printer…" Harvey looked at him and nodded. "From the surface, he's a peak King of Arms. If he let himself go, I believe he might be able to fight against those close to True Warrior."Mandy nodded before continuing, "He's just one of the elites Durandal brought with him. Other than him, there's the K
The VIP seats opposite Maya had a group of men and women chatting loudly in plain clothing. All of them looked arrogant, and the way they looked down on others seemed second nature to them. A bald man was in the center of it all. He was wearing a simple white jacket and a pair of outdated cloth shoes. When he sat there, he looked like he was shifting between a state of awareness or sleep."This is the man leading the challengers. All of them called him Mr. Parker." Mandy's eyes immediately fell on this bald man as she explained. It was obvious that while she wasn't here all the time, she knew a lot about the underground boxing gym.Harvey then asked calmly, "He's so easily identifiable. You really can't find anything about him at all?""Nothing. But to him, money is nothing but a number," Mandy sighed. "He didn't look anything unique, but from the limited edition Richard Mille watch he's wearing? That watch is called a 'Billionaire's Watch'. Just that alone is proof enough of how
"Even if they're really from another world, they wouldn't be anyone ordinary. They're dressed simply, but we could tell they're no ordinary people. They looked at all the other guests like they were ants, as if they stood on top of the world. Speaking of which, the one who led them was someone with the last name Parker…"At this point, Mandy found it difficult to continue the conversation. Not only did she lose so much money, but she wasn't even sure who she lost to. It was a total humiliation!"Parker… Not ordinary people… Looking down on everyone…" Harvey narrowed his eyes. "Someone from Parkerville?"A few days ago, Harvey had just humiliated Clarion. In the days that followed, Clarion seemed to have completely disappeared. It didn't fit his modus operandi. Harvey started to suspect that the Parkers of Parkerville were behind this.Most importantly, they could anger him through Mandy. It seemed not everyone from Parkerville was brainless. At the very least, they were quite goo
Mandy kept mum.Harvey sighed. "Fine. Let's not talk about closing the underground boxing ring. Explain to me what has been going on lately. Just how much have you lost?"Mandy took a deep breath to calm herself down and sat opposite Harvey. She picked up her coffee and finished it in one gulp before saying with a sigh, "Because of what happened with the real estate earlier, the Ninth Branch can't simply open up new markets in a short time. We're bleeding money every day. "I realized the Ninth Branch can be supported by just the underground boxing ring. Unfortunately, even our profit from the ring is falling. One of our shareholders gave us the idea to allow guests to bring their own fighters rather than simply betting on fighters. That way, it becomes a competition between the host and the guest."A few days ago, a group of guests came with eight elites and wanted to bet with the underground boxing ring. They said they'll be betting 7 million dollars a match. I didn't want to agr
