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
“You’re staying.”Master Mograine let out a cold chuckle.“I’m just an outsider, but my family still belongs in the world.“I haven’t left ever since I joined the sacred martial arts training ground because I couldn’t let my family go.“You people are my worst obstacles!“It’s only natural to do something for you this once.“I’ll show Representative York just how deep the waters run in Golden Sands!“Even the sacred martial arts training grounds have no choice but to humble themselves!“What’s the point of that man’s existence when all he can do is flaunt using the Martial Arts Alliance’s name?“I’ll make sure he gets a good lesson!”Blaine John gave a horrible expression.“That’s no good…“You haven’t fought in many years.“Harvey York was capable of killing Layton Surrey!“Legends say that he’s also on par with a God of War…“This is just…”Master Mograine scoffed.“Do you think I’m not capable of the same thing?”“I know you’re a God of War, but…”“There won’t be
Right as Blaine John left with the badge, Harvey York resumed his job as a geomancy expert at the Fortune Hall.Castiel Foster was already panicking since he was the only one tending to the customers.With Harvey back, the morale of the entire place was instantly raised again.After three days of peace and quiet, Kade Bolton showed a horrible expression when he came to the Fortune Hall from Heaven’s Gate’s headquarters.“This is bad, Sir York,” he said, quickly walking towards Harvey.“It’s only normal for something to happen in the city now, right?Harvey spoke while drawing up a talisman for a customer.“Did someone challenge your family?”Kade shook his head.“No, but someone was looking to cause trouble to the Pagan family.”Harvey froze. He quickly wiped his hand with wet wipes before leading Kade to the back.“Tell me more.”Harvey cut to the chase.“There’s something you don’t know, Sir York. Other than having the biggest appraisal businesses in the city, the Pagan
“That said, a woman in traditional clothing showed up at the site on an afternoon.“She easily found twelve tempest-type gems, then announced that nothing was left to find in the first batch.“Nobody believed her at first, but the next dozens of customers couldn’t even find a gem the size of their pinky!“Then, the customers stopped after that.“The next day—yesterday, the woman came again when the second batch of stones showed up.“She easily found another twelve gems before announcing the same thing.“Nobody dared to challenge her anymore.“Seventy percent of the stones that could be turned into piles of gold were instantly recognized as garbage that nobody would bother to examine.“Today’s the third day.“According to the plan, we’ll be releasing our final batch.“If that woman comes again, I’m afraid…”Arlet Pagan was helpless.It would be nothing if the woman only found a few gems; not only would it hype the atmosphere, but the customers would also be in a craze after
Ten o’clock in the morning.With Harvey York and Kade Bolton’s lead, they came to an antique stone gambling site.The place was renovated into a stadium that could hold thousands of people.Taller and taller balconies could be seen all over the place.The stadium was divided into three sections.Two sections were filled with stones everywhere, but only a few people walked around. The places were completely desolate, to say the least.The remaining part of the stadium had workers placing stones along with their respective price tags.This was clearly where the third batch was going.Many people were gathered here while happily chatting in high spirits.For the people well-versed in the scene, only specific types of gems could grab their attention.Harvey and the others came to the VIP area, and they looked in front.A group of people in traditional clothing stood not far away from them.They were all standing with serious looks.The woman in the middle was wearing a purple
Along with Kora’s movements, a few men in black hopped down from the balcony before shoving the crowd aside to get to the stones.The stones varied in size. Some looked smooth and plump, while others were simply deformed.The men in black did not waste a single second. After paying for the stones, they immediately got the smiths to start working.“Gems! Gems! Gems!”The crowd was exhilarated when they saw the sight.The women screamed in excitement, as if they had never seen money before in their entire lives.The place completely heated up in an instant.“The same thing happened twice before, but nobody noticed it the first time,” whispered Arlet.“But on the second time, everyone’s attention was completely captured.“This time…”Arlet shook her head with a hint of helplessness showing between her furrowed brows.The Pagan family had no choice but to remain passive since Kora already made her move.Their reputation would be tarnished entirely if the family did not act at a
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
