“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
“You!Kalel Hoffman’s face darkened instantly.With his identity in the underworld, he had never been ridiculed like this in his entire life.This was simply unforgivable to him!“I’ll teach you a good lesson for the sake of your parents today!”Then, Kalel stepped forward before throwing a punch right at Harvey York’s chest.Bam!Harvey unhesitatingly kicked Kalel.Bam!Kalel slammed right into a pillar before he fell to the ground.He seemed wretched, with his face completely red. Blood spurted out of his mouth immediately after.He sustained internal injuries with just a single kick!Miles Keaton and Kora gasped in fear after seeing the sight.They knew Harvey was the representative of the country’s Martial Arts Alliance. They also heard he single-handedly took out all of India’s top talents.That said, they all believed that it was all just a big exaggeration.But after seeing Kalel, who had trained for decades, could not even defend himself against a single kick.M
Kalel Hoffman instinctively shivered after hearing Harvey York’s words.He returned to his senses before showing a horrible expression.At the same time, he started to regret mediating for the Council of Myth’s mess.“I’m pretty impatient.“I’m giving you three seconds.“Three, two…”Even before Harvey could say anything, Kalel took a deep breath when he knew that he could not go against Harvey anymore.“I’m sorry, Representative York!” he exclaimed with a wretched look.“At least you know when to give up. No wonder you’re still surviving after all this while.”Harvey derisively glared at Kalel.“That said, if you tell me you’re showing off with your title again…“I don’t care which family is supporting you. I’ll cripple you myself!“Do you understand me?”Kalel was shaking in anger. It was the first time he had suffered such losses.That said, a smart man would always know when to give up.Kalel would not even dare say a single word while he gritted his teeth, let alone
Harvey York sipped his tea.“One: you’re the leader of Heaven’s Gate. Surely I have to come along since you’ve invited me. This is my way of supporting you as well as to consolidate your position.”Prince Gibson froze momentarily.“Thank you, Sir York.”“Two: I wanted to see if the mighty Young Master Miles would also despise the John family after being disrespected like this.“After all, a young master who had been fed through a silver spoon his entire life wouldn’t handle such loss lightly.“He’d probably want to slap Blaine around while trying to strangle me to death at the same time.“If not, he wouldn’t be able to live with himself.”Prince froze before he understood the situation.“You’ve really thought everything through, Sir York! I’m impressed!“After this, no matter what kind of relationship the Council of Myth or the Immortal Pavilion has with Blaine…“Cracks will surely start to form between them.“Things like this aren’t repairable at all. It’d only turn worse
The current situation in Golden Sands was a lot different than before.The Patel family was busy fighting off the John family.Harvey York wanted Kairi Patel to get as much information as possible so she would not panic later.Kairi chuckled bitterly after getting the texts.She knew Harvey’s action had made the Golden Sands’ situation as clear as day…But the enemies would also move a lot quicker because of him.Simply put, the situation had become extremely tense.Harvey smiled back after seeing the look on Kairi’s face. After reviewing the situation momentarily, he decided to head to the Robbins family’s residence instead of heading inside.Seven o’clock at night.Harvey arrived at the manor entrance.Before pressing the doorbell, he could see a few more discreet-looking Lincoln limousines parked around.The cars were extremely low-profile, with windows at least seven layers thick. Even bullets would not be able to penetrate them.Judging from this, it was clear just how
Saul Robbins glared at Harvey York as if he could not read how miserable the whole situation was.Harvey let out a sigh.“Shall we have a drink outside?”“It’s fine. Come and have some tea with me in the study. You should also stay for a meal.”After seeing Saul’s miserable expression, Harvey just could not decline the invitation.The two came to a tower block inside the manor.The place was only a thousand square feet wide, with scriptures and antiques placed all over.Extremely well-known paintings from around the world were also hung on the walls.It was safe to say that even though the decoration was not all that special, the items here were quite valuable.After gesturing for Harvey to sit, Saul brought out a few antique bracelets before putting them in front of Harvey.“I heard you stood up for Arlet at the stone gambling site, Harvey.“You must be pretty experienced with gems.“What do you think about these?”Harvey casually picked up a bracelet before taking a few
Harvey York chuckled.“They probably just have good relations.”Saul Robbins looked bitter.“Of course, I know that!“But look at that bastard!“He has ulterior motives!“I don’t say anything about this to Lola, but this seems extremely fishy!“That’s why I need your help!”Harvey froze. The topic segued a little too quickly.“I’ll do anything to help. We’re family anyway,” replied Harvey after nodding.Saul smiled faintly.“That’s good to know.“If anything happens to me…“Take care of Lola and the child inside her.“That’s our only heir after all!”Then, Harvey frowned.“Who would even go up against the Robbins family?”Saul let out a chuckle.“It’s not that. Just the situation looks that way.“Golden Sands is a little too peaceful right now.“That said, the calm before the storm is usually the most terrifying part.“Nobody knows what’ll happen next…“But I believe you.“No one would dare go against you no matter what.”Saul must have had something in his mind
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
