Harvey thought about the situation.“Sure. Since you suggested it… We’ll do it your way.“I have time today. Let’s get everyone to meet up this afternoon.“The Storm Pavilion under the Indigo Mountain would be a good spot.“I’d like to see if we’ll finally bury the hatchet or not.”Prince nodded before leaving respectfully.At four o’clock in the afternoon, Prince drove to Fortune Hall to fetch Harvey. Then, he drove to Storm Pavilion. He only had little time to prepare, but he managed to get the Storm Pavilion sealed tight.Not a single soul could be seen near the place. It was hard not to arouse suspicion, but it was obvious that Prince’s control over Heaven’s Gate was still quite decent.“You should make things a lot bigger.”Harvey calmly smiled.“You need to get everyone to see this. If you’re not pompous enough, then you’re no different from an ordinary person.”Prince chuckled awkwardly.“You’re kidding, Sir York. Mr. Darwin taught me all this.“Right, we’re meeting
After hearing Harvey York’s words, Prince Gibson was in deep thought.The stone gambling site and Yamato’s incidents…They did not seem to have any correlation except for one thing.Arlet Pagan was the main target in both incidents.It would be nothing if this were purely a coincidence, but someone had to thoroughly investigate Harvey to see if this was premeditated.“Maybe…” Prince muttered.“That’s right.Harvey cracked a smile.“People with nothing to lose don’t fear the ones with power.“It’d be way easier to crush us with outside forces instead.“I’m afraid the talk between Miles Keaton and I isn’t that simple.”Prince’s expression instantly turned dark.He only wished for the talk to go through so he could relieve Harvey from some of his pressure…But the talk seemed almost hopeless.Right when Prince secretly heaved a sigh, two people came to the Storm Pavilion.“Representative York, Mr. Prince.“Young Master Miles and Mrs. Kora have been here for more than ten m
At five o’clock in the afternoon.After their walk, Harvey York brought Prince and Shay Gibson back to the Storm Pavilion.The place had been meticulously decorated. A lot of ancient calligraphy was also hung around the place.The yellow flower pear wood couch borrowed from the Pagan family’s experts was a tasteful touch.That said, just as Shay mentioned, the place was a mess.The coffee tables were shattered to smithereens.Teacups were also scattered across the ground.Some Heaven’s Gate disciples stood on the side with completely swollen faces.Three people were sat on the couch.Other than Miles Keaton and Kora, Harvey looked at the third person.The person was an elderly man who was clearly under five feet two. He was playing with a string of onyx with an unspeakably dignified aura.It was as if he could dictate anything that would happen with his words alone.It was clear that he was none other than Kalel Hoffman himself.Other than those three, a few people in trad
“And if I say no?” replied Harvey York.“No?Kalel Hoffman gave a light chuckle.“I never service anyone for free.“If you say no, then I’ll leave right now.“Don’t blame me for what happens after this.”“Is that so?Harvey smiled before making a gesture.“You can leave now.“Though, you’d need to pay up before you do.”Everyone froze.Clearly, Kalel was about to flaunt his strength before Harvey…But he did not expect Harvey to fight back.It was safe to say that Harvey was either insane or extremely courageous.After getting a closer look, Kalel did not think Harvey was insane at all.Miles Keaton smiled profoundly.“Representative York is a stern man who never shows respect to anyone, Mr. Kalel!“With his high status, why would he admit defeat before this many people?“You should just let him be.“I’ll make sure that you’ll have an explanation for all this.”Miles spoke casually, but his words were enough to incite a fight.Kora let out a cold scoff before furio
Kora showed an arrogant expression. Naturally, having a fiance who would stand up for her was a pleasing sight.Prince and Shay Gibson’s faces instantly darkened. They did not expect Miles Keaton to be this rude when he started speaking.Kalel Hoffman curiously stared at Harvey York. He wanted to see how Harvey was planning to deal with the situation.Harvey faintly smiled when he looked at Miles.“Since you’re this generous…“I’ll also offer you a deal.“If you grovel before me and have yourself recorded for me to bring it up whenever I feel bored…“I’ll revoke the bet made between Kora and I.“I’m a man of my word.“I have a good reputation.”Harvey thought Miles and the others were planning to talk things through…But since they were still acting all high and mighty, Harvey had no intention of continuing the conversation anymore.He decided to cut to the chase.If Miles would kneel for the sake of his woman, then Harvey would happily call off the bet.But if Miles were
“Enough!Miles Keaton seemed annoyed.“Enough idle talk!“How hard is it for you to kneel and apologize?!“Can’t you just do what you’re asked and resolve the damn problem?!“If you’re only trying to save face, then it’s even simpler!“I promise nobody will know about this other than the ones present here!“I can even give you benefits!“You want money, right?“Here’s a hundred and fifty thousand!“Remember to grovel longer after taking the money!“If not, I won’t let you off the hook if my fiancee gets angry!”Miles signaled for someone from behind to bring a suitcase. It was thrown right before Harvey York after it was opened.Papers of all colors were seen inside, but they were not actual money.They were all fake.Prince and Shay Gibson were showing horrible expressions.This was utter humiliation!“I didn’t expect the Council of Myth would be this stingy to use fake money…Harvey smiled.“That said, I’m not interested since I’m honest.“How about this? I’ll get
“What?!”Everyone immediately felt sluggish when they saw Miles Keaton cover his face while stumbling a few steps back.Naturally, nobody expected Harvey York would actually do anything.Not only did he ignore the threats of two sacred martial arts training grounds, but he did not even show any respect for Kalel Hoffman at all.This was clearly a lot worse than getting Kora to wash toilets!Kalel returned to his senses out of pure shock before glaring at Harvey.“Are you insane?!”“How dare you hit my man?!Kora was also furious.“I’ll fucking kill you!”She waved her hand, and the disciples of the Immortal Pavilion stepped out with fierce expressions.Without Harvey even saying anything, Prince Gibson waved his hand when dozens of Heaven’s Gate’s disciples showed up.They were all fully armed, completely suppressing the Immortal Pavilion’s disciples.The people of Heaven’s Gate were not as impressive but had the numbers and the firearms to suppress any expert they wished.
“You bastard…”Miles Keaton stumbled off the ground with his face covered in blood. His head was spinning nonstop as soon as he got back up.He was an expert martial artist but could not even dodge Harvey York’s seemingly simple slap.He could feel his brain popping out of his head after being slammed into the ground.At this very moment, he felt nothing but rage and resentment.He had always been arrogant, pampered, and clung to out of fear and respect.Even if he went to Wolsing or Mordu, many people would have no choice but to make him feel as comfortable as possible.And yet, nobody thought he would be slapped around like this in Golden Sands.Not only was his face completely swollen, he could not even dodge the attack.If word were to spread about the incident, he would not be able to survive in the future.He would probably turn into the biggest joke in the upper circle.Without a second thought, he was filled with unbridled fury.He instinctively stepped back to gain
Daichi smiled faintly and said, "I know very well that in the eyes of people like you, Islanders like us are detestable. Speaking with us, working with us, and even eating a meal with us is quite disgusting, right?"However, we must all learn to be patient. It has already happened for quite some time. Is there a point in rushing through these few minutes? It's better for us to share a good meal and have a chat afterward."Daichi slowly partook in the meal, putting a piece of fish into his mouth and chewing slowly. At the same time, he narrowed his eyes as he looked at Harvey, his eyes filled with subtle amusement.Daichi found the meal before him quite enjoyable. He also found himself quite satisfied looking at Harvey showing a hint of irritation."Looks like you really think that you have me under control," Harvey said coldly. "But I can tell you that by just sitting here, my patience is already at its limit. I have a habit, too. Rather than being threatened by someone, I prefer t
Harvey looked at Daichi coldly. "I don't think there's anything between you and me that we need to talk about."However, Daichi said passionately, "But I believe we do. This is not a place for us to speak of such things, though. I have prepared a table for us at the best restaurant serving Island Nation cuisine in Grand City. I invite you to dine with us. How does that sound?"Not only can we talk about what's happening at the Island Nation, Sky Plane's scenery, the Seven Families of Grand City…as well as what's currently going on with Ms. Mandy of the Jeans of Mordu!"Clack!Harvey immediately grabbed Daichi by the throat. "I dare you to say it one more time. Are you threatening me?"Daichi smiled faintly. "Threaten? You must be joking! Someone like me doesn't threaten anyone. However, Sky Plane does have a deal with the Jeans of Mordu. They will be sending out a representative, who turns out to be Ms. Mandy."However, Ms. Mandy doesn't know much about the situation in Sky Plane
Hearing the conversation between Harvey and Clarion, Hale wasn't sure what to say. He let out a long sigh and said, "Thank you, Mr. Harvey, Mr. Clarion. I won't waste my breath, then. Since you're willing to protect a cripple like me, I'll be in your care from now on."He took out a paper and pen from the bedside table and quickly drew a picture, then put it in front of him. "Mr. Harvey, this is the real location of the Chapter of Ascension. I know you're sincere in helping me. I can't repay you, so I can only offer you this. Please don't refuse it. This thing will only get me killed if I have it with me."However, if it's with you, you should be able to put it to good use. Consider it my goodwill. I… I hope you can accept this and give me a chance to repay your kindness."Hale then made a gesture and swore, "I swear, this is the real location where the Chapter of Ascension is hidden. This is not a death trap. Please trust me. Other than the Chapter of Ascension, there's also some
It was obvious that Hale's anger and sorrow had pushed him to the limit. He was already blaming Sky Plane for everything. Sky Plane had just earned him as a mortal enemy."My condolences, Hale." Harvey extended his hand and tapped Hale's shoulder. "The dead can't be brought back, so the most important thing now is to recover. Sky Plane is a difficult enemy."Clarion nodded as well. "Now that Susan is dead, Sky Plane will not let this slide. However, we'll need to get you a new identity after you recover. Only when you're safe and when you can live for yourself will you have the chance to have your revenge."I've just received news that everyone in Grand City knows who you are. All the other Sacred Lands will find out very quickly. In a short while, there will be countless people looking for you, for us. That's why you need to get ready. We're running out of time."When Clarion said that, the frigid light in his eyes glinted. He didn't need to send anyone to find out what was go
"No matter what happened, she treated me well all these years. Even if I were to kill her, I want her to die with some dignity. As for the trouble from Sky Plan and her… I'll give you an explanation you'll be happy with. Please permit me," Hale said, not caring for the wounds on his body even when he was kneeling on the floor.Clarion looked stern. If he were to bring in a spy like Susan, it would help him immensely in his career. If they got her into the interrogation room and asked her proper questions, they could get valuable answers from her. That was the only value she had left.However, Clarion also knew why Hale framed it that way. She was still his wife, even when she had already betrayed him. Rather than letting someone like Clarion take her away right now and live a torturous life that she wouldn't be able to tell day by night, he'd prefer to kill her right now. That way, Susan would be able to die peacefully.But how should he choose? Clarion was having a headache rig
Hale's expression was one of shock.Susan was the same.Hale didn't expect Sky Plane's plan to be so vicious. They wanted the Chapter of Ascension and to use the chance to plunge Grand City into chaos.Susan was shocked about how accurate Harvey's guesswork was. If it wasn't because she knew that someone like him would never have a connection with Sky Plane, she would even think that he might have a hand in setting up the trap that looked like it was simply a string of coincidences.Otherwise, how would he have known everything in such detail?Clarion looked at Harvey with more admiration. While he looked like just an ordinary man, whether his power or perception was far beyond them.Hale slowly closed his eyes, forcing himself to calm down for a long time.Then, he turned and looked at Susan and muttered, "Now that we have reached this juncture, I don't think that there should be any more secrets between you and I. Just one question. Did everything happen exactly as Mr. Harvey
"Or maybe, in your subconscious, you do realize that something isn't right. Maybe you simply feel that it's better for her not to know about some things. That way, things will be safer for her," Harvey said with a shrug. "However, the truth is that she didn't get anything from you at all until yesterday, isn't it?"Hale nodded. "You're right. I did have some doubts about her in my mind, that's why I did tell her everything except the Chapter of Ascension."Hale seemed to reminisce about something else before giving a painful smile. "And then, as time passed by, I no longer suspected her. But I'm worried that it'll get her killed, so I chose not to say anything. I believed that as long as I said nothing, we'll be able to live a peaceful life! No one expects that in the end…"Hale signed, looking hopeless when he said that.However, Susan simply smiled icily. "Stop your crocodile tears, Hale. You never trusted me, so stop saying that you love me!"Hale smiled bitterly. He didn't w
Clarion was stunned when he saw Mrs. Hoffman was still trying to argue her way out."Even the way you argue is the same as the Origin Ninjas. Seriously?" Harvey smirked. "Right, I heard that the Origin Ninjas would leave the mark of a petal on the most private spot so that it was easier for them to identify each other. You must have seen it, right, Mr. Hoffman? Of course, I believe she'd definitely say it was just a tattoo that she had while she was in her youth."Unfortunately, I believe that Grand City has plenty of records. It should be quite easy for us to find the evidence we need. That's why, Mrs. Hoffman… Is there really a need to deny it anymore now that we've reached this point?"Mrs. Hoffman shuddered a little. She didn't expect that Harvey would be able to easily see through all her disguise. Most importantly, he even knew about the most damning evidence on her. In a situation like this, continuing with the argument really was pointless."You… You…!"At the same tim
Harvey said calmly, "You smell like one of them."Whoosh!Before Harvey could finish, Mrs. Hoffman immediately pounced at him. In midair, she waved her hand and threw a string of knives.All her blades were blue in color. They looked very pretty, but if they scratched one's skin, one could easily lose their lives if they weren't sent to the hospital immediately.Clarion was shocked when he saw what was unfolding. It was obvious he didn't expect Harvey's words to help them identify Mrs. Hoffman's real identity and forced her to attack.Still, that was quite normal. Thinking back about it, Mrs. Hoffman's calmness during this whole ordeal showed that she was not a normal woman.The power she suddenly showed was within their expectation, and they could understand it too.However, this exact revelation was making things more painful for Hale. It hurt him even more than finding out that his beloved wife sold him out. Clank! Clank! Clank!Harvey pulled up a small fruit knife and thr
