“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
Layton was cursing in his heart, but he didn’t say anything out loud. After all, maintaining his status as an expert was always a good thing.If he killed Harvey, not only would his embarrassment not be announced to the world, but he’d be praised as being compassionate as well.Layton scoffed. Without hesitation, he pulled out the sword on his waist.He was a God of War! An expert martial artist!It was simply too degrading for him to pull out his weapon just for a small fry…However, the people of Heaven’s Gate were pridefully cheering their hearts out.“You’re dead! You’re dead, Harvey!”“Mr. Layton’s been honing his blade for decades! It’s an honor for you to see him in action!”“Who in the world can even defend themselves from Mr. Layton?!”As they cheered, Layton swung his sword right at Harvey’s head at the speed of light. Speed was the only way to long success. Naturally, a God of War like Layton knew that. He omitted all fancy moves, and dished out a flurry of swift
Meanwhile, Sol moved a chair over for Harvey and made a cup of tea for him. Harvey drank the flower tea that had just been freshly brewed. After a drink, he said with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Geoffrey.""You saved me, so it's nothing strange for me to show you some appreciation," replied Geoffrey with a smile as he waved his hand. Then, Sol and Lune closed and covered all the windows and doors leading to the studies. Later, he said, "Harvey, I've prepared everything I need to. It's all in your hands now."In the next few days, he had already written down his own comprehension of his martial arts and those that he believed needed to be recorded, then passed them to Sol and Lune for safekeeping. Geoffrey was prepared for the consequences of his treatment."Alright. Since you have made the decision, then I won't delay this any further. But I suggest that we should make a video recording. That way, you will not only know what changes occur to your body but also what I did." Harvey sugge
"You heard it too, didn't you? I gave Victoria a call," Harvey said openly. "Victoria is the eldest princess of the Empire. She owed me one, so I asked her a favor. To her, something like this is easily within her powers."Yvonne was shocked. "You're actually familiar with the Empire's eldest princess?"Harvey smiled. "It's all in the past. Not to mention that this time, it involves the lives of many of your relatives. It's more convenient if the Empire is the one that makes the move."Yvonne gave it a thought and mumbled, "Sir, you probably need to repay her for a favor this huge, right? If you need anything, just let me know, and I'll have the Xaviers prepare them.""Well… There's no need to," Harvey said as he glanced at his phone screen with a message written in the Empire's script. "I guess this is all over once I find some time to treat her to a meal."When she heard it, Yvonne's expression instantly turned strange. But she was a smart woman; she knew there were things she s
"That's because the Empire produces most of the firearms we Second Caste used. Once they stop their services, we will lose access to those firearms in the short term. The First Case will use this chance to retaliate. If we ever reach that stage, the Second Caste is doomed. That's why we have no choice but to execute the Empire's orders."That's not the worst part. Unless we can completely go without the weapons produced by the Empire from within our army, otherwise… Harvey basically owns the Second Caste from now on. Crossing him is suicidal. In our current condition, the Second Caste doesn't have the resources to change the firearms from within our army. That's why, whether we like it or not, he basically owns us," said Bart, heaving a sigh. His expression darkened."Darn it… I told them I would rather cross the people from Country A than the people from Country H. Why didn't they believe me? They only regretted it after they had been thoroughly humiliated."When Zoe heard it, she
"Let's go!" Bart's expression darkened when he saw things had reached this stage. With a wave of his hand, he was going to leave with his underlings. He was filled with dissatisfaction.Today was supposed to be his day of glory. He was supposed to crush the Xaviers right under his boots. He was even prepared to have some fun with the women from the Xaviers. But he never expected one call from Harvey to be enough to turn his dreams into nothing. He was extremely dissatisfied.Zoe shuddered and was also about to leave. She wished Harvey could forgive her existence at this moment."Did I tell you that you can leave?" Harvey glanced at the group as they reached the entrance. "Don't forget, all of you have to give me an explanation that I'm happy with."Then, Harvey glanced at Zoe and said, "And you, Maiden. Don't forget your words so soon?"Zoe's expression darkened as she shuddered.Meanwhile, Bart immediately bent the knee on the floor with a loud thud. Then, he said in a bitter vo
Bart was completely stunned. "Sir, that's not what you said earlier! You gave explicit orders that…""What orders?" The voice coming from the other side was grim. "Do you understand what I'm telling you? Do as I tell you right now. Other than letting them know, I don't care whether you must cry or beg; you must gain the Xaviers' forgiveness. "Remember. If you fail, I'll kill all your family! This is not just my personal order but the collective will of the entire Second Caste. You must gain their forgiveness even if you were to sacrifice your own life!"After Mr. Garcia roared back at Bart, he angrily hung up. Obviously, there was pent-up anger in him, making him very furious and agitated. Unfortunately, it seemed that he could not resist it. That was why, even if he did not want to, all he could do was follow Mr. Garcia's orders.What happened?Bart, Zoe, and the others could not react as their eyes were fixed on the phone on the table. Their expressions were completely frozen.
"Tsk. Didn't you say you just gave a call to the Empire? That's our suzerain! If there's really someone on top of the pyramid speaking on your behalf, we all had to obey!" Bart said, his words were spiteful once more."Maybe you should give her a call again? Tell her that the Second Caste is very scared, waiting for her to come and punish us. Or maybe, your phone is out of credit? Do you need more money to pay for your credits?" Bart then pulled out a 20-dollar bill and threw it at Harvey. What Bart just did made all the people from Country I laugh even more arrogantly.Zoe could not be bothered to waste her time anymore. Instead, she extended her foot before Harvey, signaling Harvey to kneel and lick the sole of her heel quickly. Otherwise, someone from the Xaviers would have to die again if time was up.Buzz…As the mockery climaxed, Bart's phone started to vibrate. Everyone instantly looked at him. Bart was also stunned and glanced at the screen of his phone. Then, he gave Harve
"What? Don't tell me the Victoria you called just now was actually Princess Victoria from the Empire? I suppose you must have gotten what you wanted if you could talk to her directly. I wonder what kind of orders she gave us? Did she tell us to be on our knees right now or tomorrow?" A smirk appeared on Zoe's face the moment Harvey hung up. She looked at Harvey as if she was looking at a clown running a circus."Oh, right, I need to remind you. In one hour, we will kill another member of the Xavier family. If she only contacts us after a long time, then the Xaviers will all die," said Zoe as she folded her arms in front of her chest and slowly approached Harvey. Then, she leaned closer to Harvey and said, "And here I'm looking forward to falling on my knees and calling you Daddy. So please, you better give me this chance."At this time, Zoe acted so seductively. If it were not because everyone here knew that Zoe and Harvey were enemies, some might even think that Harvey and Zoe might
"Seems like you didn't change at all, Maiden. You still wouldn't give up until your final moments," Harvey stepped forward and glanced at Zoe. She might look stern on the outside, but she was already shaken inside."You know full well that if I could give you the money all this time, it would mean that I have the evidence. Maybe the Second Caste didn't care about the betrayal and continued to use you because you have some value. But the moment I show all this evidence on the internet, a sinner like you will make everyone remember everything."Perhaps the First Caste, who is at a disadvantage right now, could use this as an initiative and retaliate. That's why if I were you, I would immediately turn tail and leave, then think of a way to convince the Second Caste to stop instead of wasting your breath here."Zoe smiled coldly. "You can stop threatening me now, Harvey. I confessed everything to my higher-ups a long time ago. So what if you can reveal all the evidence you have? It mean
Bart coughed out a mouthful of blood after being slapped. Even a few teeth were in the blood as he looked completely out of his element. He wanted to stand up and fight against Harvey until the end, but he finally discovered that his arrogance and power meant nothing before Harvey."Harvey! You've crossed a line!" Zoe finally could not sit still and threw the cup she held onto the floor. Then, she pointed his finger at Harvey and yelled, "Do you even know what you're doing? Don't you know we have hundreds of hostages? Do you think we're still fighting in an arena in Flutwell?"So what if you can fight? So what if you're the representative? The Second Caste succeeded in a military coup! We have millions of soldiers and countless weapons! No matter how powerful you are, do you think they're more powerful than modern firearms? Regardless of your influence, do you think it's enough to suppress a country? No matter how rich you are, can you buy the entire Country I?"I'm warning you now,
