“Mr. Quill is a senior of the Golden Sands! Do you think you’re the king of the city for causing trouble at his funeral like this?!”Naturally, Blaine was prepared to make Harvey a scapegoat before anything else.“What? Are you fighting for the spotlight?”Harvey smiled.“As expected of a man like you. I thought you wouldn’t be coming today. I didn’t think you’d pull off something like this now!“Even so, I don’t want to spout nonsense with you too much today.“If you’re that unhappy… If you want justice, then come at me. I’m here for you.”After hearing his words, Wanda leaned closer toward Blaine with a pitiful look.“Young Master John! You need to help us!“Under Ms. Alani’s lead, us people from the World Civilization Department came here to look into the culture of the people here.“We only wanted to experience how the locals do their distinguishable burials here!“And yet Representative York kept being unreasonable, threatening to kill us!“Look here! Look at how many
Ordinary people would be scared witless with all that slander…However, Harvey only smiled. He crossed his arms, and approached Blaine. Then, before Blaine could react, he slapped Blaine. Slap!Blaine was sent flying, and slammed into the ground.Even if he was secretly an expert martial artist, he couldn’t react fast enough to prevent Harvey from hitting him. He thought he didn’t dodge because he got careless; he didn’t expect Harvey would do something like this to him.The crowd was dead silent.Who was Blaine again…?He was the young master of the John family! No matter how low-key he was, he was still one of the best young masters in the country. Yet, Harvey still dared to slap the man in the face under such circumstances…Who gave him courage?Azrael and the others looked surprised; they didn’t expect Harvey to be this fierce.Blaine touched his face, shocked. His face darkened instantly when he could feel his swollen face. He didn’t think that Harvey would hit him.
Harvey’s dominance made Blaine’s eyes twitch.Alani and the other women were shocked. Naturally, they didn’t think that Harvey would be more fierce than Blaine in such a situation.Blaine was one of the top ten families’ young masters! A prominent figure that everyone in Country H had no choice but to bow down to!And yet, he was completely suppressed by Harvey!Nothing made sense!Blaine’s guards were about to step forward, but they were instantly held back by the disciples pointing their firearms at their heads.The air immediately turned tenseThe guards knew they were quite good fighters, but they wouldn’t be able to survive if they went up against Heaven’s Gate.“Time’s almost up. You have thirty seconds.”Harvey looked at the Rolex on his wrist.“To be honest, I’d rather you not agree to my conditions. That way, I can crush you with all my might. After all, with our identities, we need a proper reason to do anything, right?”Blaine’s eyes twitched again, and his face w
“I’m sorry, Mr. Quill! This was my fault!“I apologize! I do hope that you can forgive me before you go!”Different from before, Blaine’s arrogance was replaced by a sense of humbleness. He didn’t seem like a young master at all then.Everyone was shocked, but they had to admit that it was quite impressive for him to be so flexible. Only a true elite like him could endure this much humiliation.Even Harvey started to show a playful expression when he looked at Blaine.A prideful and arrogant man would be easy to deal with, but… A flexible man who was prepared to endure any hardship would no doubt be tough to deal with.When Blaine was done apologizing, he finally stood.“We’re leaving!”He left, glaring at the group of people who came to cause trouble in the first place.“Did I say that they can leave?” Harvey exclaimed coldly.“What else do you want?!” Alani yelled.She and the rest glared furiously at Harvey. Blaine had already kneeled for their mistakes. Was Harvey actual
Blaine took a deep breath.“There’s a saying… What goes around, comes around.“It’s never too late to take revenge. I won’t let this go easily. I’ll make sure that Harvey gets the lesson he deserves.”Alani rolled her eyes at Blaine after hearing him skimping past the subject.“Why don’t you deal with him yourself, Young Master John? If you sneak up on him, he won’t know what hit him!“Of course, if you don’t want him dead, you should just go for the people around him! Not only would he suffer, but there’s also a chance he’d simply collapse!“That way, we’d win without a fight! I’ll make sure the higher-ups know of your achievements! They’ll…”Slap!Blaine swung the back of his palm across Alani’s face.She screamed in pain, and slammed into the corner of the car. Her body trembled profusely. An unspeakable force was hidden in the seemingly-simple slap.Alani covered her face with a bitter expression.“What are you doing, Young Master John?!“Don’t forget! Not only am I fro
Kairi approached Harvey and observed him up before sighing.“Thanks for everything for the past few days.“Blaine finally took action, but you managed to take him down twice. It’d be hard for you two to reconcile at this point.“Our battle with Blaine will be completely public now too.“He has Westley with him as well. He’s just a lackey for Emery, but he’s still a prominent figure who can do whatever he wants to in Wolsing.“Two slaps for two people. There’s a storm coming to Golden Sands soon enough…”Harvey put his cup down.“Isn’t this exactly what you hoped for?“The city’s situation is as clear as day. The wealthy families of Golden Sands need to pick a side now. Either the Johns keep their control, or the Patels will unite the entire city.“This is good for you, no? It’s always better to be decisive.“Things can only be handled neatly that way.”Kairi chuckled bitterly.“I do want things to end neatly… But you should know that I’m not able to take control of the situ
Blaine took a deep breath as if to calm the unusual throbbing of his body, before respectfully taking a step forward.“I’m here to see you again, Aunt.”“I told you many times, Blaine. I’m a monk now. You may call me Master Mograine.”The monk turned around before glancing at Blaine with an annoyed look. She was glaring fiercely, but her eyes were still a captivating gaze.Blaine smiled.“You’ll always be my aunt. It doesn’t matter if you’re a monk or not. This place is yours to stay for as long as you want.Master Morgraine chuckled, then rubbed Blaine’s head.“It’s been a while since you came here. Is something troubling you?”“Not only are you one of the four elders of the Immortal Pavilion, but you’re also a miracle doctor who even countless wealthy families couldn’t get,” Blaine said.“It wouldn’t be exaggerating to say that you have a high status. With my identity, I wouldn’t dare show up all the time! You might just hate me if I come too much!” he added.“You’ve been a
“I hope you can use your status to have a word with Representative York. I’ll be able to apologize in person after that.“I’m being sincere, Aunt! I can take any punishment!“I just hope that Representative York can stop making things hard for the Johns… I can’t drag the family down with my mistake alone…”Blaine looked as if he was ready to change.Master Mograine slowly sat down before sipping her tea.“Representative York? The man who defeated all of India’s top talents in Flutwell? He’s in Golden Sands?”Blaine sighed.“There are things that you don’t know, since you’re secluding yourself.“Not only is he here, but he’s also been causing trouble in the entire city.“Heaven’s Gate underwent a complete change of power because of him.“He even killed Layton because of this.”Blaine casually explained everything Harvey had done in a mere few sentences. He didn’t imply anything, nor did he add his feelings into the equation; it was just a casual explanation.After a long tim
None of the elites from Earth Hall had a problem with Wenzel's words. They all kneeled on the ground and said, "We understand the gravity of our crimes. We accept our punishment!"Meanwhile, Silvan's eye twitched as he forced a smile. "You're mistaken, Mayor! You've been away and didn't return in the past decade. You probably don't know what's happening in Grand City. Please listen to my explanation. I'm sure you'll be happy with it."Silvan was no fool. He knew very well that tonight, he might be made an example of if he wasn't careful. He had no choice but to choose to surrender so that he wouldn't be killed with one slap.Harvey said nothing but simply looked at what was happening without much interest. The others might be afraid of Wenzel, but he didn't feel anything."Grand City's current situation? Isn't it just someone wanting to hijack my authority while I'm away?" Wenzel said softly, but his words were frightening. "If I return any later, would you have a new mayor already
Rumble…The gigantic helicopter slowly landed on a platform right outside the entrance of the Foster Residence. The door slid open, and dozens of men in white robes walked out. Their faces were cold, as if they were machines or puppets. When they walked out, it was difficult to tell if they were even humans.Among the group, several men and women wearing masks could be seen among the men. While they weren't that eye-catching, they seemed to be surrounded by a formless, subtle aura of awe.Harvey gave them a look, and he could tell these men and women were extremely powerful. They were all elites at the level of True Warriors. All he could say was that Grand City was indeed very well established.A woman wearing Givenchy's exclusive collection and frameless glasses slowly walked out before standing aside, making way for a middle-aged man wearing a traditional garb. The man had a powerful figure and a handsome face. The outfit he was wearing was quite old, with a few patches here and
"Forget being on your knees and begging me, you're even threatening me," Harvey patted Silvan's face with the Absolute Decree. "Do you really think I wouldn't dare to kill you?""If you do, you wouldn't be wasting your breath now!" Silvan said with a cold smile, his expression brutal. "I'm warning you… You had better return the Absolute Decree to me in one piece, then kneel and beg for forgiveness and offer Tina to me. Then, maybe things will end here. Otherwise, you're going to pay for your mistake your entire life! At that time, not only you… Even those who stand with you will have to pay a price you can't even imagine!"Silvan had been given an order to take Tina away no matter what. That was his first aim.Of course, he couldn't simply let the part where he was humiliated be. He would get his revenge one way or another.Harvey smiled. "Really, now. Since you sound so confident, just bring it on. Let's see if your face is harder, or the Absolute Decree is harder…"When Silvan s
"That's for me to know and for you to find out. If you're not going to make a choice soon, I'm going to do that for you." Harvey extended his hand and patted Silvan's face with the Absolute Decree.Silvan's eyes narrowed. Only at this time did he realize why Dan had forced him to make his move even if he had to spend that precious one chance. The way Harvey did things was simply too overbearing and couldn't be prepared for."Put down the Absolute Decree!""What you're doing is forbidden in Grand City!""This is outrageous!"All the Earth Hall elites yelled, furious.Alexei used this chance to get closer to Harvey and whispered, "Big bro, you should pay more respect to the Absolute Decree. If you keep this up, you might anger all Seven Predecessors if you're not careful."Silvan smiled coldly. "You hear that, Harvey? You humiliated Grand City by stealing the Absolute Decree. You're in big trouble now."Harvey smiled. "You don't have to worry whether I'm in trouble or not. You
"No one can say that I won't be the future mayor of Grand City. As long as I have the possibility of becoming the mayor, what you do know is insubordination!" Harvey sneered. "Are you brave enough to touch me?""Really now?" Silvan snapped, his face frosty. "Do you think I haven't prepared anything before coming here?"Silvan took out a badge made of a special material, flashing it in front of Harvey. "The Absolute Decree! While it can only be used once, it will allow anyone to enter any place within Grand City! I think this is the perfect place to use this. Forget about the fact that you're not even the scion of Grand City just yet. Even if you are, you need to obey the Absolute Decree!"He waved his hand and commanded, "Alright! Go and get our target!"Whoosh!Before anyone from Earth Hall could move, Harvey took a step and immediately appeared right in front of Silvan. Before Silvan could react, Harvey slapped his face. Slap!The slap was loud, and it was powerful enough t
A simple sentence seemed to contain an endless amount of murderous intention, putting all the elites from the Earth Hall on their guard. Silvan's face became terrifyingly dark."I know you're powerful, Harvey. You crushed the Origin Fist's Mark and even defeated all the Island Nation's six schools in the past. There's no mistake that you're a true warrior. But think through this clearly. There are so many of us here, can you defeat us? Even if you can, what if the three halls combined forces? What if all 100,000 of Grand City's elites attacked?"I'm advising you here right now because I have some respect for your role as the Representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance. But if you still refuse to listen and want to force your way, we don't mind doing it until the end. You can try and attack any of us here. Let's see if the thousands of elites from the three halls will attack, and how many of us can you actually kill!" Silvan's handsome face turned brutal.If it was someone
However, Silvan couldn't simply leave like this or surrender. He gritted his teeth and instantly pulled out a gun from his waist. After disengaging the safety, he pointed at Harvey and said coldly, "I'm not here to waste my breath with you, Harvey. Take Tina here. I'll give you one minute. Otherwise, don't blame me for being callous! While you are indeed quite powerful, I trust that you know the people around you aren't that powerful!"36 men in black robes took a step forward. The weapons in their hands were not only aimed at Harvey, but also on Alexei and the rest.Harvey narrowed his eyes and smiled. "I do have the Tina that you're looking for, but I saved her out of the generosity of my heart as she was being pursued. However, something interesting about me is that when I save someone, I'll make sure to go all the way. Since she's now with me, I naturally need to ensure her safety."You can take her away. You can even put her in your prison. However, I need you to provide me w
Harvey played with the umbrella in his hand and said curiously, "You're with Dan?"When Silvan heard that, he said coldly, "Mr. Representative, do I need to repeat myself? I am Silvan of the Earth Hall. Now that I'm here, I am the warrant from Earth Hall as well as Grand City's law. And when I act, all will obey my orders. Even the Seven Families will cooperate with me without delay. Understand?"Harvey smiled. "And if I can't understand?"Silvan simply raised his hands.Clack! Clack!All 36 men in the black robes took out unique firearms and disengaged the safety, aiming in Harvey's direction."These weapons are specialized firearms Country A created against martial arts elites. Their bullets are created from toxins that could deal with True Warriors that Grand City has perfected. The ones with weapons are trained elites who with god-like accuracy and an iron will. If all 36 of them pull the trigger at the same time, even a living legend who has reached the level of uniting Man
Grand City looked quite mysterious under the cover of the night. The skies above were covered in dark clouds, with flashes of lightning visible occasionally—it was dazzling.Just when the butler of the Foster Residence was about to tell the staff to secure the gates for the night, sounds of car engines could be heard approaching from afar. Bright headlights swept over, and the staff instinctively narrowed their eyes. Eighteen Land Rover Defenders headed straight to the residence, surrounded by an unspeakable force. Thanks to the rain, one couldn't clearly see the figures within.However, each of the cars had red car plates, which was quite shocking to those in the know.It was Grand City's Purgatory Hall!The three halls of Grand City were the three institutions created for the city. The Heaven Hall was responsible for defense, the Earth Hall covered law enforcement, while the Purgatory Hall had dominion over execution.It could be said that among the Three Halls, while the Eart
