Dozens of people were standing inside.These people wore ordinary clothes, but fierce auras could be felt coming from them.Couches, coffee tables, and other things were completely smashed inside the main hall.A figure could be seen in the corner, coughing up blood while paralyzed on the ground. It was Prince Gibson.Harvey York glared coldly.‘Prince is already in this state when I’m not even gone for that long?’“Hey! Hey! Who are you people?! Who let you in here?!”“Oh? Isn’t this our dear Sir York? Didn’t you send yourself to your death at the peak of headquarters? Why did you show up here now?”“You didn’t run away from your fight now, did you?”“Let me tell you something! If you die, you should die there!”“Don’t you dare drag the Gibson family down with you!”A few members of the Gibson family spoke loudly after recognizing Harvey.Upon closer inspection, Harvey could tell that those people had already regained their strength since the drugs had already worn off.T
“Young Master Lance! Harvey’s here!” exclaimed one of the family members.“He didn’t fight the leader! He’s planning to high tail out of the place!“We’re telling him to kneel and admit to his faults before we bring them to Mr. Layton!”“What?!Lance Gibson froze before glaring at Harvey York.“How dare you?!“You challenged the leader himself, compromising the family’s safety, yet you didn’t fight him?!“You even came here to hide?!“We all know the leader’s a terrifying man!“But you should still go no matter what!“You’ll kill all of us for hiding here like a damn coward!”“What does any of this have to do with you?”“What are you saying?Lance glared at Harvey, looking annoyed.“Fine! It’s good that you’re here!“I heard that you only managed to perfect your martial arts by learning the Heaven’s Fist!“Write down everything you know about the mental cultivation technique to us this instance! I’m warning you! We’ll break a damn limb of yours for every word that you w
The crowd looked at each other.‘Who even was Lance Gibson?’‘He was Quill Gibson’s eldest son!’‘The current person in charge of the family!’‘Going against Lance would mean going against the entire family!’‘Along with the fact that Lance is about to ride on Mr. Layton’s success…’‘Harvey must have a death wish for hurting Lance right now!’“So what if you got hurt?Harvey crossed his arms, looking calm.“You’re the eldest son, but your father’s still lying in the coffin.“Not only are you not being a good son, but you’re also taking advantage of your brother!“You’re even planning to cling to the person who orchestrated your father’s death!“People like you should be beaten to death!“I wanted to help the Gibson family initially…“But since you’re being such cowardly filth…“I don’t think you’re worthy.“From now on, Prince will be in charge of the family.“Betrayers will be executed on sight!”Harvey gave everyone a calm stare.The higher-ups could not help but s
Bam!Lance Gibson swiftly threw a kick at Prince Gibson.“You traitorous fuck!“If it weren’t for you being in the family, I would’ve killed you by now!Then, Lance strode towards Harvey York.“Do you know how impressive I am now?“You won’t even get a chance to kneel.”Slap!Harvey swung the back of his palm forward without hesitation.“When did I say that I was going to kneel?”Lance was utterly stunned.He already rallied hundreds of experts to surround the hotel…And yet Harvey still dared to lay his fingers on him.“How dare you hit me, you bastard?!” exclaimed Lance instinctively.Slap!Harvey slapped Lance across the face once again.Another palm print could be clearly seen on his face.“What? Was the one before not strong enough for you?“You couldn’t feel that?“How about now?“Is it starting to hurt?!”“You…”Lance was filled with righteous fury.He actually did not expect Harvey to do it a second time.“Go! Every single one of you!” exclaimed Lance, w
Lance Gibson had no idea that Harvey York had already killed Layton Surrey…But he knew what it meant when Adler Lowe and Osman Bowie kneeled.The other members of the Gibson family were also filled with fear.To see such a sight before them and the fact everyone called Harvey by his title…This only meant one thing!Harvey’s identity as the representative of the country’s Martial Arts Alliance was undeniable!At this point, nobody could deny his title.No wonder Harvey dared to get involved with the Gibson family’s affairs!No wonder he dared to slap Lance in the face!With such an immense identity…Who in Heaven’s Gate would dare to lay a finger on him?Even the leader himself would not!Lance instinctively shivered.He thought he was just showing off his identity as the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance.“Sinner?”Harvey calmly glanced at Adler and Osman before approaching with his arms folded.“You finally know that you’re a sinner now?”Harvey stomped on
Naturally, Lance Gibson did not want to believe what he heard!He hoped that there was a chance for him to turn things around!Harvey York completely ignored Lance and looked at Adler Lowe and Osman Bowie.“The main perpetrator was caught, but what about the accomplices?”Adler and Osman instinctively shuddered.“The Lowe family and the Bowie family will be sent to the Imperial Prison for punishment!“We’ll accept any punishment we have to take!“Another thing! Osman and I will resign from our positions effective immediately!“Every property the Lowe family and the Bowie family own will be used for compensation!“You have full control!”Lance was about to pass out.He would have kneeled already if not for his last bit of courage.“That’s good enough. I’ll keep you two alive for now.“Then again, you’d still have to be severely punished,” said Harvey.Crack!Crack!Without Harvey saying another word, Adler and Osman snapped their arms in half.After seeing such a grueso
“The entire Golden Sands knows about Quill Gibson’s death now.“The other five Hermit Families, the Patel family, and many other wealthy families in the city are preparing for his funeral!”“What about it?” asked Harvey York.“Blaine John knows about this too.Kairi Patel spoke in a strange tone.“He decided to send Mr. Quill his way in person.“The John family have prepared an extravagant gift. They’ll be at Heaven’s Gate’s headquarters in under half a day.”Harvey frowned. The outsiders may not know, but the relationship between the six Hermit Families and the John family was no less than destructive.‘Blaine’s coming to Quill’s funeral instead of celebrating his death?‘Something’s clearly wrong here…“Are you sure he’s coming to Heaven’s Gate’s headquarters?Harvey got on the video call and frowned at Kairi.“Hasn’t he learned his lesson after going through so much?“He’s still planning to show up before me?“Is he not scared of me slapping him to death?“Besides, wh
Quill Gibson’s funeral made a stir in Golden Sands.After all, the Gibson family had always had a good reputation in the city.Quill maintained order in Golden Sands’ underworld, preventing the people of the underworld from harassing ordinary citizens along with wealthy families.For many people, Quill was the city’s guardian angel.That said, it was shocking to hear Quill’s death came from an unjust trial.Prince Gibson’s rise to power also garnered a lot of attention.Since Prince had become the leader of Heaven’s Gate, the Gibson family’s status would surely skyrocket.It was safe to say that if Prince wanted, he could unite all Golden Sands’ forces.But if Prince were to side with the Patel family, there was a great chance that the John family, one of the top ten families, would be brought down in the fight.That was why many of the wealthy families decided to send their representatives to attend Quill’s funeral.Heaven’s Gate’s headquarters became a bustling place at thi
"That's right!" exclaimed Geoffrey. "You should come down now or let him get closer to check up on you!""Geoffrey, Neve. We have known each other for so many years. I know you don't want me to leave," replied Vaida, sighing. "But, do you think I'll believe you when you look for a random man to be my man of destiny? If a fake can replace the one I seek, I won't be trying to find him for three lifetimes, right?"Please, just ignore me and let me go in peace. Even if you can save me now, can you save me forever?"Obviously, while Vaida had a mental breakdown, she no longer recognized Harvey and forgot what had happened between them, but she was still a wise woman. She could tell that Geoffrey and Neve dragged Harvey here so that she would not die."Vaida! Don't forget that you're the daughter of the previous mayor! In my heart, you’re the real princess of Grand City!" Geoffrey roared. "I swore to him all those years ago that I would find the man of your destiny. I won't lie about som
"No! There is! Not only are you fated to cross paths, but such a fate is inevitable!" Geoffrey suddenly cried out. "Vaida, I managed to do as promised and found the man who is your destiny when I went to Wolsing last time! That's him! He's the man of your destiny! I won't have any objection even if you want to make your marriage official!"Geoffrey immediately rushed over to Harvey and pushed Harvey to Vaida. Harvey was stunned when he heard it, his eye twitching.What?Something about being the man of her destiny?Geoffrey did not give Harvey any time to react and winked at Harvey. "Mr. Representative, why don't you go speak with Vaida? The two of you promised to be together for three lifetimes before the Rock of Fate! You shouldn't miss each other now that you've been reunited!"When Harvey heard what Geoffrey had said, he was full of questions. Although he could understand every word, he did not understand what Geoffrey meant by that. Even Neve was so shocked that she subconsci
After Geoffrey had left, Harvey then walked into the courtyard. He looked around. Once he was sure there were no hidden cameras, he got into the bathroom and showered. Then, he changed into a new outfit.Too many things happened while he was on his way here, and he had to review everything. Only then would he be able to see the big picture of what had happened today.After that, he found the beverages meant for him. Then, he walked to the courtyard's edge, looking at the faraway scenery. The courtyard was built by the hills and a water source. In addition to the bridges and streams, he could see the plains in the mountains. He could even see the grass swaying as the wind blew.At the edge of the grassy plains were steep cliffs. The Fosters had built several gazebo-like structures there, which were quite terrifying. Harvey was curious and gave these cliffs a better look. That should be the edge of Grand City. He could see an endless ocean with crashing waves from here.Harvey could
Harvey saw Geoffrey already waiting there when he alighted the car. When Geoffrey saw Harvey, he was apologetic about the entire matter. Harvey did not need to say anything, and Geoffrey walked over, saying, "Friend… No, Mr. Representative. We will give you an explanation that you'll be happy with."Feel free to stay in the Foster family's estate. If anything happens again, you do not need to say anything. Our family will take full responsibility for this!"Harvey sighed. "There's no need for this, Geoffrey. My visit to Grand City will affect plenty of people's interests. It's normal for them to try and stop me from coming no matter what.""It's not that you're affecting many people's interests. Most importantly, you have affected one faction's interests," Geoffrey said as he gestured and led Harvey into the estate. As he guided Harvey in, he said, "The entire Grand City now knows your reason for coming to Grand City is to take on the Three Halls. What you're doing is taking away
Harvey smiled. "It's fine. But you do have to give me an explanation. Of course, if you can't, I'll get one myself."After that, Harvey could not be bothered with the same topic. He looked at the stone door and asked, "Why don't you introduce this to me?"Neve was slightly taken aback but still answered, "You know that Grand City does not belong in this world. In short, it exists in its own pocket dimension. It was said that Grand City's creator created this pocket dimension after he had achieved unison with Nature and before he stepped into the void."This is one of the few entrances into the Grand City, but it's the only entrance that everyone from the city can use. If you have the city's entry pass, then you can freely travel in and out. Of course, if your ancestry is rooted in Grand City, you can also use it."Harvey nodded. He was quite curious… When one reached the end of the path of martial arts and reached unity between man and nature, would one have this kind of power? Cou
No matter how Harvey looked at Vaida, he could tell she was no ordinary warrior. Her decisiveness and style proved to him that she was highly experienced in battles. He could even see some signs of her being in the military.Harvey was even more curious about Vaida's identity when he thought of that.But he knew it was not the time to think about such things. Harvey picked up a gun from the ground amidst the chaos and started to aim and shoot in front of him.If Vaida's attacks were all about affecting a wide area, then Harvey's attacks were all about accuracy. While he looked casual, whenever he pulled the trigger, an enemy would flop in a crumpled mess after each shot. The long-haired man could only watch with a dark expression.Despite bringing along an army of assassins with heavy firepower, his forces were being decimated."Darn it…!" The long-haired man let out a roar. "Deploy the heavy weapons!"Before he could finish yelling, he shuddered. There was disbelief in his eyes.
After eliminating Ruins and Ashes, Harvey did not waste another second, slammed his foot into a table, and sent it flying with a smile. Contrary to everyone's expectation, he did not leave the fire escape. Instead, he jumped out of a window and immediately ruined the long-haired man's plans.However, it was obvious that there were guards outside the window as well. As soon as they saw Harvey appear, the armed men were only slightly stunned before they aimed their guns at Harvey and pulled their triggers.Harvey immediately side-stepped, grabbed the fire extinguisher the cafe prepared for an emergency, and started spraying it all around him. Half the street was instantly covered in white as the bullets missed their marks, but several tourists who did not manage to escape in time were hit. The tourists cried, and it simply made the assassins even more aggressive.In just a short while, all these people would lose their lives.Harvey's eyes turned cold when he realized how nonchalant
However, before the Islander woman could swing her sword down, she could feel a sharp pain on her throat as a red dot appeared. Then, she could even feel all her strength disappear. She collapsed to the ground in disbelief, unable to make a sound. It was obvious that this woman could not understand how she was killed even moments before she died.The waiters and tourists only realized what was happening when they saw this moment. They screamed as they quickly ran toward the exits, throwing the entire Lucky Café into chaos. Harvey ignored all the chaos, picked up the sword from the woman's hand, and continued walking with a calm expression. At this time, a long-robed man and woman walked toward him among the crowds. Both of them looked quite strange. The man was missing an ear, while the woman was missing an eye. However, their energy signatures were terrifying, and they seemed very powerful."It's the Golden Triangle's assassin duo, Ruins and Ashes!""I heard the two could even de
While Hyperborea was a small city, as it was located on the nape of Snowdrake Mountain, it was also one of the most famous tourist cities in the country. Around 30 million travelers came to Hyperborea throughout the year, enriching their economies. However, it was somewhat difficult to manage the city.More than 90 percent of the population here came from other cities. So, it was going to be difficult to find anything about anyone.Besides being a tourist city, Hyperborea was also a location where people from all walks of life congregate.Harvey glanced around as he sat in the corner. He noticed that other than travelers, most of the people here were foreigners who spoke with foreign accents. Many of them carried firearms in secret, and some were obviously trained in martial arts. This place was destined to be different from other cities.While it was a tourist city on the surface, this place hid an entire underworld.'No wonder Grand City set its entrance in a place like this. It
