Teo got more excited. The more Harvey showed off, the quicker and more dreadful his death would be.Teo instantly jumped, pointing at Harvey with a cold smile.“Let me tell you something, Harvey! It’s useless for you to kneel now! Now that Ernie’s pissed, you’re in deep trouble for sure!”Lorel showed a prideful expression, and puffed up her chest.“Don’t think anyone would stand up for you after you die!“Even if Harlan knows that we did this… He wouldn’t dare make a sound about it, either!“A relative like him has no right to go against the four great tribes! His wife does seem a bit more capable, but would she even stand up for you?“Don’t think too much. Your fate’s been sealed at this point!”Lorel’s finger was almost right on Harvey’s head.“What are you doing, you stupid bitch?!”At that moment, Ernie finally came to his senses. He swung the back of his palm, slapping Lorel to the ground.Teo said instinctively, “You got the wrong person, Ernie! You…”Slap!Before h
Shocking!Unbelievably shocking!Ernie was kneeling in front of everyone!More importantly, he even asked Harvey to forget everything he said!Everyone could only hear their minds explode.Harvey, on the other hand, showed a calm expression. If it was any ordinary student, they Ernie would have crushed that student. ‘This guy’s probably used to taking advantage of people, huh…?’Harvey’s expression turned cold.“You want me to let you go?” Harvey asked. “You think you can learn your lesson if I do?”Ernie shivered before he instinctively slapped himself in the face.“I was wrong! I was arrogant! I took advantage of everyone!“I’m being sincere, Sir York! Please, give me a chance! There won’t be a next time! I promise!”After seeing Ernie’s timid expression, the crowd couldn’t say a single word even if they wanted to.Harvey calmly tapped Ernie’s face.“It’s good that you’re trying to change. But remember, everyone needs to atone for their wrongdoings. No matter the cost!
Slap!Before Teo was done talking, Ernie shivered, and grabbed Teo’s neck and slapped him.“Who told you to provoke Sir York like that?”Slap!“Who told you to take advantage of people instead of doing your damn studies?”Slap!“Who told you to come challenge Sir York?”Teo’s entire face was swollen, and blood trickled out the corner of his mouth. He covered his face, his entire body shivering.“Are you insane? Why would you submit to a man like that?“Aren’t you embarrassed? You should be dealing with Harvey instead of me!”Teo was filled with resentment.He didn’t understand why the mighty third young master of the Surrey family would have to be this humble.Even if Harvey was a capable man, there was simply no need to throw away dignity just to fawn on him.Roger’s eyes kept twitching as he watched everything unfold. His handsome face had completely lost all color.Lorel’s lips were trembling as well. ‘What is this guy actually capable of…?’“Still? You’re still talki
After seeing Ernie Surrey’s horrible expression, Harvey York came over with a grin and patted Ernie’s face.“Looks like these people don’t understand that you’re helping them…”Ernie’s heart skipped a beat. He realized Harvey already had him all figured out.He bitterly chuckled before lowering his head, speechless.Teo Fairman was furious seeing his cousin giving up like that.“Filth!“Ernie!“You embarrassed every single man in the outskirts today!“We’ll make sure to let everyone know about this! After that, we’ll see if your family decides to keep you!Then, Teo glared at Harvey before letting out a cold chuckle.“You’re dead, Harvey!“You’re dead for sure!“The head coach of the university’s Budokan, Mr. Garry, just returned from Wolsing!“Young Master Roger already called him!“He got word someone’s challenging the Budokan! He’s infuriated!“You’ll die a horrible death soon enough!”‘Garry Duncan’s coming?!’Besides Harvey, everyone else quickly changed their exp
While Roger Cobb was pridefully roaring…In under ten minutes, eight Land Rovers were seen charging forward.The huge cars were not driving that fast, but the dust trailing behind them was quite a fierce sight.The cars drove past the crowd before parking right in front of Roger and the others.Eight bald men stepped out when the cars stopped to a halt.They were all monks with golden scars on their heads.They glared coldly with their heads raised high. It was clear they had been training martial arts for most of their lives.A handsome young man, all robed in white, came out soon after.He smiled with a cold glare, letting anyone know he was a formidable opponent with an immense status.He was none other than Garry Duncan himself!Countless wealthy families considered him their guest of honor. He was someone who could shake the entire outskirts just by tapping his foot.Many students had studied under him before, so they instantly recognized him.The women were also looki
“Mr. Garry!”Roger Cobb and the others quickly came in front of Garry Duncan before respectfully bowing.“What happened, Roger? You had to call me for help?“With the Mammoth Branch, who would even dare go against you?” asked Garry gently.Roger agreed to let Garry teach him, but he had no intention of holding back either.After all, the Mammoth Branch was one of the four great tribes with immense power.Roger knew he called the right support after seeing Garry’s attitude.“Mr. Garry! This man has been showing off in the university’s Budokan, claiming that your teachings are absolute garbage!“Not only did he break Teo’s arm, but he also beat me down!“I was powerless! I need your help!”“Oh? My mixed martial arts is garbage?”Garry showed a hint of anger.He was one of the outskirts’ top ten talents…Everyone would have no choice but to respect him.He was even dubbed the king of mixed martial arts when he left the outskirts.And yet, someone dared to call his teachings
Harvey York merely smiled.“Are you going to teach me a lesson? Are you even worthy of that?”“I don’t have to!Garry Duncan gave a cold chuckle.“I’ll give lessons to whoever I want in the outskirts!“Since you’re also a student at Oaklands University, I’ll give you a chance!“Grovel as an apology, break your legs, then crawl one loop around the university!“Only then I’ll consider letting you go!“If not, I’ll even get your dear friends into this!“I don’t care who they are. I’ll take out every single one if I have to!”Garry’s words were filled with an undeniable sense.He had no courage to speak that way in the big city…But he could do whatever he pleased in the outskirts.He did not believe someone else was stronger than him in the entire university.Even if there were, they could not go against the Kronen Temple anyway.Ernie Surrey felt his head instantly going numb after hearing those words.He heard of the things that Garry had done. He knew that Garry was a m
Harvey York actually hit Garry Duncan’s student right before him.Not only was Garry being completely disrespected for this…But the Kronen Temple as well!Garry crossed his arms, glaring coldly.“Kill him! I’ll take responsibility for this!”Eight of the monks stepped forward with cold gazes.Countless people held their breath. They believed Harvey was dead for sure!“Harvey York!” bellowed Roger Cobb furiously while covering his face.“I’ll get you a tombstone tonight!“You’ll be sleeping there soon enough!”Garry clapped his hands.“Haha! What a great disciple! Are you still generous enough to get him a tombstone?“Not bad at all…”“H… Harvey York?“Wait! Hold on!”Garry’s eyes suddenly twitched upon hearing that name.A sense of fear crawled into his heart.He finally took a closer look at that moment.His expression froze instantly after seeing Harvey’s face.The arrogance in him quickly dissipated, as if he were a wooden doll.The monks stopped in their tracks
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
Harvey's expression became cold as he watched Mrs. Hoffman. He was completely done with her.Mrs. Hoffman bit her lip and stared at Hale for a long time. "You're right! The one who sold you out is me. I sold your identity to other people, too. I'm also the one that almost got you killed. When I heard about the Chapter of Ascension in the morning, I was also the one who sent the message!"Hale's expression was one of bitterness and grief. He gritted his teeth and asked coldly, "Why?""Why?" Mrs. Hoffman scoffed, a hint of disdain on her face. "Why do you think I did this? Fine, I'll tell you. It's easy—after marrying you for so many years, I've never had a life of peace! We're either living in the streets or hiding! I didn't ask for a wealthy life. I just want a normal and peaceful life like any other ordinary woman! But I can't see us ever having that life! "If that's the case, why can't I gamble everything away? Why can't I sell you in exchange for wealth so I can have an e
Hale let out a bitter cry with a sorrowful expression. How could anyone expose that the person who slept next to them would be the one to stab them in the back?Hale whispered, "I simply didn't want that person to be you. You have been with me for so many years and have suffered so much. I've already treated you as my only family. If family like you betrayed me, it would do nothing but make me suffer."That was why I arranged such a test. I was hoping that Mr. Harvey would betray me once he knew who I really was and that I really did have the Chapter of Ascension. That way, I could continue executing my plans in peace."I didn't expect him to be completely uninterested in the Chapter of Ascension. Instead, you were the one who betrayed me again. It also meant that the one who turned me to Camellia and let her trace me was you…"Harvey didn't pin any blame on Hale after hearing what had happened. After giving it a thought, he said, "Normally speaking, we've just met for the first
"You… Hale! How…" Mrs. Hoffman crawled back up, her mind going black for a moment. She quickly pulled out her phone, about to make a call. Because she was too nervous, she kept on pressing the wrong numbers. She couldn't make that call.Harvey didn't say anything as he looked at this scene calmly.Meanwhile, Hale's expression began to change. There was a hint of sorrow in his eyes as he looked at the woman he loved. "Honey… Don't tell me that despite Mr. Harvey having no interest in the Chapter of Ascension, you let someone else get it instead? In short, you're the one that betrayed me… And has been betraying me…"A tear of blood formed from the corner of Hale's eyes as he spoke.Mrs. Hoffman, who was still trying to make that call, shuddered as she turned and looked at the man whom she had accompanied for many years.At the same time, someone pushed open the door. It was Clarion. He quickly walked into the room and leaned in next to Harvey, whispering, "Something happened
