Everyone trembled after hearing Kyren Pedler’s words.Alvaro Osborne was incredibly exhilarated since he had previously trained in the Border Force.“I heard that the Head Coach himself is a living legend!“You’re a prominent figure who participated in that fight! Have you ever seen the Head Coach fight?”Kyren grinned.“It’s only about five years ago.“I naturally joined the fight since I hadn’t been a marquis long.“Then again, I didn’t see the Head Coach since I wasn’t in the front lines.“But to my knowledge, three out of five dukes of the Warrior Tribe lost against the Head Coach.“One of them even secluded himself after being defeated, claiming that he’d never come back out unless his combat strength progressed.“Judging from this, it should be clear how powerful the Head Coach was.“That’s why Master York can never be as good as a legendary figure like that.“That said, he’s still an extremely prominent figure in the outskirts’ younger generation.“I figured that if
A few Westerners walked out when the car doors opened.The person leading the group sized up Harvey York momentarily.“Mr. Kyren’s asking you to join him.”“Mr. Kyren? The Silver Knight?”Harvey seemed calm. He entered the car without hesitation.Half an hour later, the cars came to the edge of a desert.Hundreds of people stood with their arms folded. Judith Pedler’s father, Kyren Pedler, was in the middle of the crowd.He crossed his arms while looking at the sight before him. His white shirt fluttered in the sandy wind.Behind him, the elderly God of War looked at the sky while pondering something.“Please, Sir York.”A Westerner gestured without any intention of getting closer to Harvey.Hundreds of people around instantly looked at Harvey.Their eyes were radiating with power. Clearly, they were battle-hardened veterans.Ordinary people would be scared witless by the sight.Harvey, on the other hand, was unfazed. He calmly stepped forward until he was only a few step
Kyren Pedler stared deep into Harvey York’s eyes. He did not expect the young man before him to be this interesting.“Since you don’t want me to save the remainder of your dignity, I won’t respect you just because of my daughter either.“I’ll be frank.“You seem capable, but you’re nothing compared to the country’s top talents.“You don’t even have the right to be with my daughter, let alone anything after that.“I hope that you’d break all connection with her.“Of course, I’ll make it worthwhile for you.”Kyren waved his hand before his subordinate brought a briefcase over.Stacks of green were seen inside. Some of it even got caught in the wind in the process.“Here’s a million dollars. You should know that it’s enough for you to live the rest of your life comfortably.“Swear you’ll leave my daughter, and I’ll send you to the best school on the planet. Of course, I’ll also fund everything.“Consider this a repayment for everything you did to my daughter.”Kyren seemed det
Harvey York seemed shocked.“Only now you can tell? I thought I was being obvious!“Did you get your title by giving up your intelligence or something?”Kyren Pedler showed a hint of rage before quickly holding it back.“You’ve got guts, young man,” he said with a faint smile.“After all, the young ones would always think they’re above all.“They think they’re on top of the world.“It’s a shame. Proud people like you can only earn minimum wage after graduating.“If you can hold your pride back a little, maybe you could achieve something.“But if you think the world revolves around you, then you must be too naive.“You’re not worth my concern anymore.”Kyren turned around with his arms crossed.His subordinates also coldly glared at Harvey.“Young man, if you cast away your pride and do as my master says…” advised the elderly man, looking curious.“Maybe he’d give you a chance to become a successful person.“In your eyes, this may seem like humiliation.“But when you loo
“Right. Back to business. Did we figure out the whereabouts of the beads?”When he changed the subject, Kyren Pedler was looking at his documents on a laptop.“There are four with Aenar Temple right now.“Kronen Temple and Adenar Temple have one each.“The Two-Eyed, Three-Eyed, Four-Eyed, Five-Eyed, Six-Eyed, and the Seven-Eyed Beads are included.“The One-Eyed Bead is in the hands of a mysterious buyer.“The Eight-Eyed Bead seemed to be with the Higgs family, and the Nine-Eyed Bead with the Klein family.”“Tch! It won’t be right if I act before the Nine Eyed Beads are gathered. After all, this isn’t our turf. We should wait until the ceremony starts before we do anything,” said Kyren after briefly pondering the situation.“And the other thing?”“The competition between the four great tribes is about to start,” replied Mr. Tanaka.“Because of the forces arriving at the outskirts, the competition would be extremely massive.“According to our intel, Henrik Higgs, the man who l
“What’s the Border Force even doing?“Why are they letting someone like Kyren waltz in here?Dutch gave a bitter chuckle.“Our brother from Sword Camp doesn’t have the final say, Sir York.“Hannah Jean is the person in charge.“She is probably quite close with Kyren, so it would be easy to have him show up in the outskirts.”“Got it,” replied Harvey.“Since someone forgot about the previous arrangement, then I’ll have to give him a good lesson.”Dutch slightly nodded before he was reminded of something.“Right, Sir York.“Kyren probably came here all of a sudden to join the competition in a few days.”Harvey seemed curious.“The competition?”“You don’t know this, Sir York. To properly distribute everyone’s benefits, the four great tribes and the Wolven Tribe would hold a yearly competition.“Everyone can join.“The person who wins in the competition would be able to integrate all sorts of resources in the coming year.“It doesn’t matter what Kyren’s intentions are. He
At three o’clock in the afternoon, Ernie Surrey had been waiting outside the No.1 villa in a Land Rover.After entering the car, Harvey York could see an elderly man in his fifties.Other than Wildcat and Ernie’s subordinates, Lennon and Aria Surrey were absent.“Sir York, Grandfather said that Conrad is an unreasonable man. He let me handle everything in the competition since he needed to remain on guard in the outskirts.”Ernie showed a respectful expression.“Another thing. Let me introduce you. This is our top expert of the Surrey family, as well as my uncle, Samir Surrey.“Uncle Samir, this is Master York.”Samir, who had been resting his eyes, suddenly glared at Harvey.After seeing Harvey’s youngish impression, he gave a cold scoff before casually closing his eyes again.Ernie felt extremely awkward after seeing the sight. His uncle had been training in Carrion Palace for the longest time. Lennon Surrey also put a great deal of effort into getting Samir here.It was on
After driving in the desert for nearly two hours, the car finally arrived at the oasis.A vast lake surrounded the place. It seemed like paradise.Since the place was not governed for the longest time, only a few rules existed there.That said, Ernie Surrey and the others were quite familiar with the roads here. The car arrived at a small villa soon after.A few guards with firearms were patrolling the area. They immediately took their safeties off, looking cautious after seeing the convoy drive over.After Ernie made a call, a dark-skinned, stocky middle-aged man came out of the villa.“I’ve been waiting, Young Master Ernie.”The man came over with a smile.Ernie glanced at the man before speaking.“Sir York, Uncle Samir, this is the boss of a small gang here, Mr. Hart. He’s considered our contact here.”“You’re too kind! I’m just a nobody before you anyway!”Mr. Hart shook his head.If he needed to survive in a lawless place like this, he required the background and suppo
Blade took a deep breath. He remembered his own duty and stood in front of Clarion, shielding him. Then, he said with a cold expression on his face, "Madam, Mr. Zeon, my apologies. However, as I'm currently the Assistant Hallmaster and Clarion is my superior, it's my duty to protect him. May I ask how he offended the two of you to the point that he pressed the red button?"Blade put on the face of someone who was only doing his job. He was loyal to his duties.Clarion's expression changed. He did not realize that Blade was a Jackson. However, since Blade chose duty over his personal ties, it was enough to calm Clarion down.Whoosh!At the moment when everything was at a standstill, Zeon suddenly stepped forward and appeared right before the crowd. He immediately slapped Blade's face.Slap!He slapped Blade so hard and loud that Blade stumbled backward as he was not on his guard and almost fell on the floor. Luckily, Clarion reacted quickly and helped Blade up. Otherwise, Blade wo
"I'll give you one last chance to answer me. If you refuse, it won't be my fault for not showing you any mercy." Camellia's pretty face became colder as she stared at Clarion before waving her right hand.After what she did, she saw all the security from Platinum Casino stepped forward, as if they were ready to make a move at any time.Clarion smiled. "Looks like not only have you captured him, it doesn't sound like you're going to release him at all. Looks like I mean nothing to you madam!"Camellia sat down back on the sofa as she folded her legs once more. She raised her chin as she looked at Clarion, coldly saying, "You're right. You mean nothing to me. What? Are you going to go mad? Do it, then! Show it to me! I'm curious to see just what our Young Master Clarion Parker can do to make a scene!"Clarion took a deep breath and coldly replied, "Don't blame me for this, then!"After that, Clarion's right hand pulled out a small red button and pressed it.Vroom!As soon as he di
"All your casino shares?" Camellia stroked her chin as she gave Clarion a meaningful smile. "If I remember, they all add up to hundreds of millions of dollars, and the interest you gain annually is also quite substantial. Without that, your worth as the heir of Parkerville will drop significantly."Looks like Hale probably saved your life. Otherwise, you wouldn't have paid such a price for a garbage like him," Camellia's eyes were judgmental when she said those words. She stared at Clarion curiously, wanting to see something from his actions and expressions.Unfortunately, Clarion maintained his cool and indifference."Madam, it'll take a long time to talk about the relationship between us. Hence, there's no need for me to explain everything here. All I want to ask is, will you accept this trade?"Camellia once again walked over to Clarion's side and bent closer, whispering in his ears. "Of course I'm willing, since you're offering me so much. Unfortunately, since I don't have Hale
When Clarion saw how Camellia pushed her face closer to his face, he had to use so much effort to stop himself from immediately slapping her.Harvey's expression was also getting colder as he stared at Camellia. He had to admit it. If she was willing, she could easily make many people furious. That was why Harvey calmed himself down even more and was not rushing to make his move. Instead, he calmly observed Clarion, wanting to see how he would deal with this.He believed this simple confrontation would make Clarion grow quickly. It would be a good thing if there was someone who could compete with Dan among the heirs of Grand City.Slap!When Camellia saw that Clarion would not touch her, she smiled coldly and once again slapped Clarion on the face."Pathetic! You really are useless! No wonder Dan openly admitted that someone like you is not qualified to be his right-hand man!" Camellia publicly humiliated Clarion's character and dignity.A man who would not even resist was worse
"I also know why you captured Hale. But madam… A simple thought is all it takes. If Hale had mastered the so-called Chapter of Ascension, he would already be invincible in this world. He wouldn't fall into someone's grasp so easily," said Clarion as if he was explaining Camellia for her own good."Not to mention that possessing the Chapter itself is simply going to bring you trouble. I'm also saving you by taking Hale away. I hope you'll agree to my decision. This is really for your own good."Camellia let out a cold laugh when she heard Clarion's reasoning. "Judah, aren't you a little too confident of yourself? You attacked my people, threatened me to release the man, and said this is for my own good? Since when has Parkerville stopped practicing martial arts and started to teach acting skills instead?"Camellia walked over and immediately slapped Clarion on the face. "You fool! Do you think I will act for your sake?"Slap!Clarion could not help but take a few steps back, his fa
"Clarion, you've always been a good boy. You can always read the atmosphere whenever you do something," Camellia said to Clarion with a sweet smile. "The reason you came to my Platinum Casino must be because you're ready to pass your position in Earth Hall back to my son, correct? If that's the case, I don't mind accepting it. But if it's something else, my apologies then. I don't have the strength to care about anything else now that I'm too worried about my son."Zeon gave Clarion a dry smile. "You do understand what she's talking about, right? Now, quickly give us the power over Earth Hall. That way, we have some room for discussion. Otherwise…"Then, Zeon put something thumb-sized on the coffee table. Quite a few people raised their eyebrows when they saw what it was. It was the Martial Art Weapon, Thunderblast!That bastard really was quite crazy. He did not even prepare any precaution when handling something like the Thunderblast, walking around with it so recklessly. Was he n
Before Clarion could even decide, Neve already forced her way forward and shielded Clarion behind her. She yelled at Zeon, "Stop pushing it, Zeon! Enough is enough! Do you really think you can have your way with us?!"Zeon gave a wicked smile and wanted to say something when Camellia, who had been watching things unfold, clapped her hands. She instantly attracted everyone's attention, and her delicate voice rang. "Zeon, that's enough. Clarion is still a member of Grand City, regardless of what had happened. We've raised him for so long, he wouldn't kneel and grovel before another man just because he was being waved at, right?"Trust him. He won't be such a doormat, will he? Not to mention that if you let him lick your shoe, he's going to ruin it. This is something I bought for you from Givenchy, so stop wasting it. Not to mention, if Mr. Otto finds out about this, what would you do if he fainted? You have to pay some respect to our elders, alright?"Then, Camellia gave Clarion a dee
"Now… Do you think I won't have the guts to kill you?" Zeon then spun the pistol in his hand using his finger and then pointed it at Clarion's forehead again. He thought he looked cool doing that.Then, his finger slowly tightened around the trigger, and the spring in the trigger was pulled tight, ready to fire. Even Clarion, who fancied himself as someone who did not fear death, could feel his breathing becoming rapid.It was obvious that Zeon really wanted to kill Clarion as his murderous intention flared.While it was well known that White Peak was filled with all kinds of madmen, they did not expect Zeon to be so terrifying when he lost his mind!Neve already wanted to step forward to stop it, but the muzzle on her head made her scared of making any sudden moves. Meanwhile, Harvey simply looked at what was happening calmly.Now was not the time to make a move. Others might believe that Zeon would really pull the trigger, but Harvey understood much about these heirs who were al
Clarion cleared his throat as he caught everyone's attention before bowing at Camellia. "Hello, madam. Please forgive me for dropping by unannounced."Before Camellia could even say anything, Zeon already smiled coldly at him. He stood up and walked over to Clarion and patted Clarion's face as he said in an icy tone, "And you do realize you're not invited? If you want to apologize, show us your sincerity. You can start with prostrating. I believe the madam won't put too much blame on you."All the men and women sneeringly looked at Clarion. It would be rare to see the heir from a huge family in Grand City prostrate. Quite a few already instinctively pulled out their phone, wanting to take photos of it.When Neve saw what had happened, she frowned. "Are you an idiot, Zeon? Why do you think Clarion will kneel?""He won't?" Zeon scoffed, pulled out a pistol, and immediately put the muzzle on Clarion's head. "Now, will you kneel?"Clarion was also someone with a temper. He glared at Z
