Lola Hoffman glanced at Harvey York before scoffing.“Saul told you about my first love too?“Come. Let’s have a drink.”Lola dragged Harvey into the manor’s living room.Harvey rolled his eyes before involuntarily following Lola inside.The room was quite dim, with only the fireplace in the corner radiating heat.Lola asked a few servants to prepare a few dishes and a bottle of Latour wine, then changed into her casual clothes before casually sitting opposite Harvey.Lola’s legs and deep cleavage were slightly visible. Her face seemed a lot more alluring with the alcohol affecting her.Harvey quickly looked away while swirling his glass around.“It’s unseemly for us to be drinking alone here, right?”Harvey bitterly chuckled when he touched his nose. He really did not want to tag along if it was not for Lola.Surely, there would be rumors spreading about a man and a woman being alone together.“Didn’t you want to mediate the situation between me and Saul?”Lola gave a fai
“I see.”Harvey York gave a light nod.In his opinion, the Hoffman family would be of little help.But since Lola Hoffman was only trying to help, he said nothing about it.Right when Harvey was about to finish his wine, his phone suddenly vibrated.After looking at the screen, he came beside the bed before picking up the call.“This is bad, Sir York!Prince Gibson’s serious tone was heard from the other side of the phone.“Kalel’s in trouble!”Harvey instinctively glanced at Lola before frowning.“He’s dead?”“No, but he’s completely crippled. He’s a vegetable now…“He’s being treated in the hospital at this moment.“We’ll probably get blamed for this.”Harvey let out an awkward chuckle.“I’ll be there right now.”-Half an hour later, Harvey arrived at the Golden Sands People’s Hospital.The place was surrounded by throngs of people.Other than the ones from Heaven’s Gate, there were also many others in traditional clothing.Harvey quickly approached Prince, compl
Harvey York let out a chuckle.“Not quite…“The technique I taught you isn’t legit anyway. I only completed the martial arts with the technique after comprehending the Heaven’s Fist.“A God of War would be able to replicate the Heaven’s Fist by tracing back Heaven’s Gate’s roots without much effort, let alone complete the martial arts.”“A God of War?!“In Golden Sands?!Prince Gibson’s expression changed.“Who else is capable of such a thing here?!”Before Harvey could answer the question, a group of people quickly arrived.Miles Keaton and Kora were standing in front.The two were glaring at Harvey, with rage showing in their eyes.“You bastard!“Didn’t we apologize already?!“Why would you cripple Kalel Hoffman then?!“You’re despicable!Miles pointed at Harvey, gritting his teeth.“Come! Take this killer down!“Don’t hold back!”The experts behind him were showing righteous fury.They would not dare get any closer to Harvey. They swiftly pulled out their firearms
A huge group of inspectors stood behind Rohan Hoffman.They were all carrying firearms while showing fierce looks.They were not that proficient at fighting, but they still represented the police along with the government.From a certain perspective, ordinary martial artists would not have the same level of deterrence that the inspectors had.Everyone was giving odd glares at Harvey York after hearing Rohan’s claims.Naturally, nobody expected Rohan to have the so-called evidence.Miles Keaton burst out laughing after seeing Rohan’s appearance.“Harvey York!“Do you hear that?!“This man is Rohan Hoffman!“He studied law back in university!“If a professional like him claims you’re guilty, then you’re nothing but that!”Harvey looked at Rohan while completely ignoring Miles.“Young Master Rohan, right?“Do you really have evidence to prove that I crippled Kalel Hoffman?”“So, it’s you…”Rohan sized up Harvey before recognizing his face. The two previously bumped into ea
Rohan Hoffman sized up Shay Gibson. His eyes immediately burned passionately after seeing her beautiful figure from her training.Then, he forced out a profound smile.“Shay, right?“I know that you’re with Harvey…“But it means something when I’m here showing off my family name!“I have evidence!“Harvey has no chance to refute!“You people better know what’s best for yourselves!“If you even try fabricating any evidence, you might just lose your damn lives!“I don’t like being ruthless against a woman, so it’s best that you don’t get yourself involved.”Shay glared coldly.“I don’t need you to teach me how to do things!“We, the people of sacred martial arts training grounds, have to need to submit to others!“Sir York is our important guest!“If I find out who’s accusing him…“Heaven’s Gate will ensure they get the punishment they deserve!“It doesn’t matter if they’re from the top ten families or the other sacred martial arts training grounds!”Shay’s cold expressi
Rohan Hoffman coldly chuckled at Harvey York.“Just confess, Harvey.“Stop making things more complicated for the police.“If you admit to your faults, you should be out of jail after twenty years or so.”Prince and Shay Gibson’s faces darkened instantly. They did not think that the evidence would be this concrete.The inspectors were also glaring at Harvey with serious expressions.If Harvey were to attempt anything funny, they would not hesitate to take action.Harvey smiled at Miles and Rohan after seeing the sight.“You really want me to be locked up, huh?“Then again, do you really think that’s enough for me to get thrown behind bars?“Isn’t that a little too rash?“If you people aren’t deaf, you should be able to tell that Kalel said I went against him.“That sentence alone can be interpreted in different ways.“In Kalel’s mind, the Storm Pavilion’s incident would probably make him say something like this.“I’m afraid you can’t achieve your goal with just the voicem
Bam!The Robbins family’s front gate was rammed open when the sky barely turned bright.A Lamborghini charged right inside.A deep trail was left in the lawn when the car swerved itself to a halt.Security guards charged out from every direction.Some of them pointed their firearms at the car, afraid that the driver would do something rash again.Before they did anything else, a woman in a short black Chanel dress and stockings kicked the car door down before strutting out.“Lola, you ungrateful bitch!“Get the fuck out of here right now!“If I don’t see your face soon, I’ll raze the entire damn place down!”The driver was Kairi Patel herself. Her face was filled with rage when she glared at the main building.“Who’s causing trouble this early in the morning?!” someone screamed before anyone reacted.“This is the Robbins family’s property!”Lola Hoffman was quite temperamental since she was carrying a child, not to mention that she had just woken up.She was in a terrible
“You’re still pretending?!“You’re still pretending even now?!Kairi Patel showed a cold expression.“Then, I’ll tell you!“I’ll tell you exactly what happened!“Rohan Hoffman’s your first love, right?!”Lola Hoffman frowned.“Harvey York told you?”“Nobody told me! I found that out myself!” replied Kairi coldly.“Last night, your dear Rohan was working with the John family!“They found some so-called evidence…“And dragged Harvey to the police station for questioning!“He’s being locked up for forty-eight hours!“Rohan announced that he’d find solid evidence to ensure Harvey stays in jail!“Harvey’s been nothing but nice to you, and this is how you repay him?!”“What? Harvey’s in jail?“Rohan said all that?Lola finally sobered up after hearing those words.“What happened?”“You’re still asking that?” Kairi exclaimed angrily.“Kalel Hoffman from your family got involved with Miles Keaton and Harvey’s incident and suffered because of it!“And after he got disabled,
Shortly, a ninja in black garb appeared not far away in front of them. He was the scout sent to investigate ahead. The scout's figure appeared right before Djinn. He bowed and said, "Lord Djinn."Djinn coldly asked, "How's the situation ahead?"The scout whispered, "I've confirmed that Geoffrey has joined the Grand City's Seven Families Joint Meeting. Three-fourths of the Universal Sect's elites had gone to the meeting. I have also confirmed that the place Neve stayed in, a courtyard at the back, isn't that strictly guarded. Our people have already hacked the security cameras in our route. We can immediately enter."Then, the scout quickly took out his tablet and showed Djinn some videos and pictures. Djinn looked at them and could not help but exclaim, "Good. Very good. Then let's do this together. Everyone, remember that we must finish this as quickly as possible. Our objective is to kill Neve and ignore everyone else. Understand?"Djinn's tone was low and serious."Yes!" All th
"That should work," said Coco after considering it. "I never liked Neve for the longest time. If we can pin her death on Vaida and Harvey, there's no harm to me at all. But we can't use anyone from Parkerville, so I'll need to make some arrangements…""No need for that," Dan said. "No matter how weak the Fosters are, they're still one of the Seven Families of Grand City. No one can touch them if one doesn't give them their all. It's best to get Sverker or Ghostface to kill her. I've been sealing all the entrances so far and not letting the people from Sky Plane enter. I believe they're very willing to cooperate if I simply ask for a favor."Dan gave it a deep thought after a while. Then, he smiled and said, "Right, I'll personally inform Clarion about this. Telling him that his beloved is in danger. I wonder, will it be Harvey's fault again if Clarion went to save her without making any preparations and ended up dying?"Coco's expression was merciless when she heard Dan's plans, thi
When Coco heard what Dan had to say, she gave him an expectant look. "Dan, when you finally become mayor, I'll be more than just the princess of Parkerville. I will be the princess of the entire Grand City! Let's see who dares to cross me then!"Then, Dan smiled gently at Coco. "It's good that you finally understand this.""But, the problem is that I still can't let this go! Vaida and Harvey have crossed a line! How could they slap a face as pretty as mine? How ridiculous!" Coco held her still-swollen face, looking vicious."Not to mention, Vaida even wanted me to reimburse her for all the profit I had already taken from the restaurant! But am I supposed to give that up? I can't bear the loss of face!" Coco said as a cold glint appeared in her eyes. It was obvious that she was never going to let it slide."Do you really want to get revenge?" Dan asked after giving it a thought. "The only person who could officially keep the Seven Families under control was the Hierophant. You can t
"He might look like a simple man, but every time he benefits from something, it's always because of good luck. But when someone is always this lucky, then the luck becomes part of his power. In the past, I also believed that I could easily crush him. But the result? Just how much have we lost in Grand City? "Clarion, Durandal… Other than these two, how many more must we sacrifice? How many people must we lose? That's why when we're targeting him, whether we choose peace or war, we must think things through and consider the consequences. Otherwise, we might be in huge trouble if we're careless…"Obviously, Dan was learning from his past mistakes. After failing multiple times, he had a deep understanding of Harvey. Even if her most beloved sister was utterly humiliated, even if Parkerville was humiliated entirely, Dan still believed that he needed to be careful about this. Since no one could tell who would come up on top if this continued."Fine. Since we can't secretly attack or get
Just when Harvey and Alexei were shocked at the truth Vaida had revealed, Coco was back in her home. Not only was Coco still awake, but she was also pacing around Dan's room with an angered expression."Of course, I know he's the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance and also know that he's Vaida's so-called man of destiny. He even humiliated Sky Plane at the training hall earlier. And then, he even made that traitor Clarion turn on you after what happened at the casino."But are we supposed to be scared of him because of all this? Kill him! Kill him now! I believe with your power, you have all the means to make him suffer and die in Grand City! What right does an outsider have to show off like that in Grand City? Are you kidding me?!"Coco no longer had the charm and grace when she was outside. All that was on her beautiful face was a vengeful expression. She wished she could stomp on Harvey right now and kill him using her high heels.Dan ignored her and simply drank the ho
When Coco heard what Harvey had said, her face twisted in anger. She wished she could pounce at him and tear his flesh with her teeth. But the last of her conscience made her suppress her anger.All these years, she called herself the princess of Grand City and openly said she could one-up all the women in this city, becoming the so-called number one lady. As for Vaida, the former number one? Coco did not pay her much attention and simply treated her as a mental patient who was not even worth her time.But now, she needed to apologize to Vaida?At that moment, all Coco could feel was her utter suffocation. But if she refused to apologize, Harvey would not let her be. He might even slap her again.Meanwhile, if she called reinforcements from Dan and Parkerville, it might not be enough to suppress this fool. Not to mention, this might make her the laughingstock of Grand City.When those thoughts crossed her mind, Coco decided to suppress her anger and end this situation. Once this w
"Have you forgotten your promises to my older brother? Are you going to turn back on your promises?" Coco reminded Zoltan since he had already chosen a side, there were things that he had to do no matter what he thought about it.However, Zoltan had completely ignored Coco. His expression changed a few times before he finally bowed and said, "My apologies, Mr. Harvey. I didn't recognize you for who you are."The moment Coco opened her mouth, Zoltan was 100 percent sure Harvey was indeed who he claimed he was. The Representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance, the Chairman of Country H Commercial Group, the Scion of Dragon Gate, Prince of South Light… But most importantly, he had utterly defeated Mark of Origin Fist and even the Second Branch owed him a great debt.All of this was enough for him to show respect toward Harvey.Most importantly, he was part of the Second Branch. He could choose to stand with Dan, but he could never go against the family's will. Otherwise, there wa
Crack!Zoltan heard a loud crack before he could even pull the Repeating Crossbow's trigger. Harvey had already snapped the Repeating Crossbow in half using just one hand after touching it.Harvey did not care about the disbelief on Zoltan's face. He raised his leg and immediately kicked him in his stomach. The attack was very powerful. While Zoltan was also a martial arts elite, he stumbled backward despite trying his best to keep himself under control.Coco, Tina, and the others all looked at this moment in surprise. While everything Harvey did so far had been arrogant, it was still quite challenging for them to believe he was still being so haughty before the person in charge of the Peacekeeping Agency.Typically, no one would have done something like this, even if they wanted to die. Harvey would pay an unimaginable price for all his arrogant actions thus far.Zoltan, who had just taken office, would not stop until Harvey was dead to protect his power and status. And just as e
Coco felt like she finally had someone to cling to when she saw Zoltan walking in with a stern expression, accompanied by his men with metallic weapons and Martial Arts Weapons on them.The fear on her face had disappeared entirely, leaving behind coldness and pride.She glanced at Harvey and said, "Zoltan, you're just in time. Belladonna Cult's Princess Vaida is sick again. Please send her to the mental health institute. Her sugar baby most likely took some sort of drugs… He even managed to injure Hereward and the others."Don't worry about this. Tell all your people to attack simultaneously and punish him according to our city's law. Remember, our city is a city of fairness. Punish them according to our laws. You can't show him leniency just because of Vaida!"Coco stood in the middle of the chamber with her hands folded in front of her chest. She stood there giving out commands, coming off as overbearing and egotistical. It was as if everything within Grand City was hers to comm
