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
It would be better to see everything through.Harvey York did not outright decline Prince Gibson’s request. He changed into a different jacket before heading out. Soon after, the two reached the entrance of Heaven’s Gate’s headquarters.While on the road, Prince had already warned Harvey about the prominent figure who would show up.They were expecting Azrael Bolton, the leader of the six Hermit Families’ representative group.After all, he was the most suitable senior of the Hermit Families to lead Quill’s funeral.The others were either unfit to do so or just simply busy.Harvey also looked up to Azrael. After all, it was quite respectful for him to show up in person just for Quill’s funeral.If that were not the case, a prominent figure like him would not leave Golden Sands as he pleased.After all, he held grudges against countless people. Leaving his place would be extremely unsafe.Besides, he had made a lot of preparations before coming here.Without much confidence in
Bang bang bang!The guards instantly changed expressions when they fired in the direction of the figure without question.At the same time, the expert martial artists circled out to keep Azrael Bolton and the others safe.Harvey York frowned while seeing the sight. That person must have been hiding in the same spot for more than twenty-four hours.‘They hid that long just for that one shot?‘Is it really that crucial to kill Azrael?’Boom!A loud explosion was heard while Harvey was still thinking about the situation.An arrow exploded when one of the stray bullets hit it.If the arrow landed in front of the crowd, many people would be dead or badly injured.“A hidden weapon from the Island Nations.Harvey scowled.“Damnit!”The shooter quickly stumbled out of the place after missing the target, revealing the C4 explosives strapped all over his body.He dashed right toward Azrael and the others without any hesitation.But before he could get any closer, his body was alre
“Golden Sands will be taken over by the John family, by Blaine John.”Azrael Bolton was speaking calmly when he said such shocking words.“From a certain perspective, the decisive battle for the city was initiated because of Quill Gibson’s funeral.“At first, the six Hermit Families and the Patel family didn’t have a good chance at winning…“But because of you, our chances have significantly improved!”Harvey York smiled quietly.From the moment he arrived at Golden Sands, he was already deeply involved with the city’s situation.After all, he came to track down Evermore.That said, it was a little surprising that Azrael also knew of the organization.“That’s why Blaine decided to act now.“Instead of saying that he’s going for the Hermit Families and the Patel family, I should tell you that he’s probably coming for all of us, Harvey.“Since this is such a good opportunity, he’ll surely target you as well as the rest of us.”Harvey briefly thought about the situation.“Doe
Harvey York gave a sigh when he looked in Wolsing’s direction.Who would have thought the battle for Golden Sands was just a fight for the throne?He momentarily thought about the situation.“Since Emery Wright’s involved in the situation, then why are Evermore and the Islanders also here?“Doesn’t he know that the Big Boss totally despises them?”Azrael Bolton’s following words completely shocked Harvey.“Big Boss doesn’t want to govern the country.“In his eyes, Country H belongs to everyone.“After all, only the virtuous can have the Big Boss’ position.“That was why the battle occurred in the first place.”Harvey was rendered speechless.“People who don’t know might think of you as one of Country H’s elders, Azrael…“Are you being serious right now?”“Of course I am.”Azrael looked serious.“Eliel Braff told me after he got drunk.“He’s been unhappy with Emery for the longest time as well.“It’d be trouble for him to go to Wolsing.”Right when Harvey was about to
Blaine John glanced at the man before smiling faintly.“Of course, the place is no match against Wolsing, Young Master Westley.“Then again, it’s still a first-rate city with a thousand years’ history.“More importantly, this is the mighty Heaven’s Gate’s headquarters we’re talking about!“If the people here know about us putting down the place, we’d be in big trouble.”Westley Wright disdainfully chuckled after hearing those words.He was just a relative of the Wright family and one of Emery Wright’s subordinates…But since he came all the way to Golden Sands, it was clear that he also represented Emery.Even someone like Blaine would have to pay his respects, let alone other people.A woman in a dress behind Westley smiled with a judgemental and disdainful glare.The others were also showing ridicule.Naturally, they were all filled with superiority since birth since they came from Wolsing. They would naturally look down on such a place.‘So what if this is a sacred marti
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
Jackson's eyes narrowed when he heard what Clarion had said, but he said nothing else. He gave Harvey an apologetic smile and then ordered his men to temporarily take Harvey into the prison at the back. While it was nothing more than symbolism, Blade knew that Clarion simply wanted to use this chance to disgust Harvey.Just when Harvey was going to be taken away, Clarion pulled out his mobile and dialed a number. Shortly after, the door was once again kicked open with a bang.Then, Durandal's companions appeared with anguished expressions. They were led by a long-haired man and a woman in a face mask. Once they entered the courtroom, the woman removed her mask. She was so sorrowful as if her husband had passed away.As for that long-haired man, while he had lost a finger and had his hand bandaged, there was a malevolent aura coming from him."Mandy! How could you kill my fiance?! I'll kill you!" The woman was instantly filled with rage the moment she saw Mandy. She immediately ran
Shortly, Blade escorted Harvey through the door made of rock. They followed the staircase down and into an underground area. It was quite spacious down there, and it was probably formed naturally. Plenty of man-made structures were built within the underground space.However, these buildings must be at least hundreds of years old. The lights added afterward suggest this was some kind of underground city.Harvey was quickly dragged to a place that looked like an ancient court. There was a sign board saying "Justice" on top, and three different kinds of guillotines were placed there. Bronze, silver, and gold. The ground under the guillotine seemed to be dark from the color of dried blood. One could faint by just watching the dried blood.It was obvious that countless people had died under these guillotines in the past few centuries. Harvey was unfazed by them. Instead, he found a bench and sat down, enjoying the sights of his surroundings.Those who were informed would know that he w
After a long while, Harvey sighed and said, "If that's the case, can you let me see the original files and conversation with the nurse? I also wanted to know just what kind of evidence the people from the Forbidden Wasteland believed was real."When Lanny heard Harvey's request, she coldly replied, "I'm sorry. But we haven't reached that part of the procedure yet. We know that you might be someone at the True Warrior level. It would be easy for an elite like you to assassinate or mislead someone. That's why, before we can confirm their safety, we won't show you any of the evidence or witness."Harvey shrugged. "I do have the power of a True Warrior. If I wanted to, I could easily kill everyone standing here.""I know," Lanny answered coldly. "But will you? No one is an island in this world. If you do that, all your friends and family will die because of you. Grand City will also categorize you as the most dangerous criminal and will do everything we can to kill you."You know all o
