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
The market was not that big. The roads were not exactly spacious since there were no rules to follow.Besides the fact that Harvey York had no intention of avoiding the group in front of him, Kyren Pedler instantly noticed him while looking confused.“Why are you here?”Harvey did not mind the encounter too much. After all, Kyren must have come here for his own reason.It would be odd if he did not show up for the competition.Harvey gave a slight nod as a form of greeting.Kyren showed an odd look. He did not think Harvey would still be this indifferent even after seeing him here.Then again, he had other things to do.“I’m living in Saber Villa right now. You’ll know where it is after asking around.“Come over later.”Then, Kyren left with the others.Harvey could hear a mix of pride, disdain, and concern in Kyren’s words.He did not say anything about it, though. After asking the woman beside him the time and place of the competition, Harvey casually went there.When he
The stage was extremely tense. It was probably just as massive as a soccer field with a huge ring in the middle.High towers are built around the ring, probably for the prominent figures to be seated.Ordinary guests could only squeeze with the rest of the crowd, seeing as much as they could in the ring.Countless security personnel in black suits were moving around with firearms in hand, ready to shoot down anyone who would cause trouble.People had been gossiping around the place, but nobody would dare raise their voices either.After all, the competition was held only once annually.Not only would the competition be able to decide who would hold authority in the outskirts, but this was a place where anyone could take their revenge.Without immense background and support, arrogance would kill anyone in such a place.Harvey followed behind Harlan when a few bodyguards gave way. The ring and high towers could be clearly seen.Soon after, people started showing up.“The Klein
Two days ago, after Kyren Pedler showed up at his daughter’s birthday party, many people had already speculated that he was also here for the competition.The seated prominent figures immediately looked gloomy after seeing his face.Kyren smiled around him before finding his seat.Only an elderly man was standing behind him. This was enough to prove many things.Kyren quickly shifted his gaze toward a calm man.“Conrad Surrey?“I heard he’s under Henrik’s wing. Is he here to fight for him?” asked Kyren curiously.Mr. Takana gave a chuckle.“He means nothing to you anyway.“Even if Henrik were here, he wouldn’t be able to mess up your plans, let alone someone like Conrad.”Kyren lightly nodded before finally looking at Colby Thompson.He was the only person who showed up for the financial group representing the top ten families.He was wearing a haute couture shirt with his arms wrapping around two women, casually caressing their thighs and necks.He was smoking a thin, lon
Ernie Surrey gave Conrad Surrey a cold glare.“Do you think you can talk big like that just because you sided with castaways?!“I can take you out however I want!”Conrad chuckled before making a gesture.A man with dark skin in a sweatshirt stepped forward.His movements were simple, yet he managed to step into the ring from the high towers, seemingly as if he leaped a few feet ahead.Experienced people immediately understood that the man had terrifying strength.Ernie’s face instantly darkened. His combat skill was mediocre, but he could also tell what had just happened before him.The man’s simple move was enough to show his impressive skill!He was at least a King of Arms!“How confident are you, Uncle Samir?” he asked after taking a deep breath.Samir Surrey crossed his arms, looking like a mighty being.“Looks like he’s from South Sea.“They’re most proficient at Muay Thai.“Muay Thai is no secret martial art!“Why would I be scared of him in that case?”He slamme
Bam!A loud bang was heard as the two clashed.Samir was at a disadvantage, and stumbled backward with a horrible expression.Before he had a chance to react, the dark-skinned man instantly swerved ahead. Not just his limbs—every single part of his body became weapons of mass destruction, capable of initiating killer moves at any moment.“The Eight Limbs,” Harvey muttered to himself.At this point, the man had already perfected his martial arts.Harvey suspected the man to be genetically enhanced. If that wasn’t the case, he wouldn’t be so terrifying in the first place.Harvey knew Samir could see that as well; if Samir wasn’t careful, he’d lose everything.Samir had no choice but to take every single blow, hoping that he’d be able to find a weak point to strike in the process.However, the dark-skinned man kept throwing stronger and stronger attacks, as if he was on drugs.Everyone in the high towers were shocked. Nobody knew Muay Thai could look like that!Samir’s expressi
Ernie’s hand was trembling.As the Surrey family’s top talent, he studied in the Carrion Palace… Even if he wasn’t able to win, he should at least be able to hang on for a few fights.However, nobody expected him to be crippled instantly.Safe to say, the Surrey family’s reputation was completely tarnished.Ernie only wished for Harvey to show up and turn the tables for him.Yet, he wouldn’t dare make the call. He was afraid that his anger would be completely disregarded if Harvey were to decline.He had no choice but to hold his anger back, and glared coldly in front of him.The prominent figures around here simply had no interest in the Surrey family at this point.Bailey, who had met Harvey at the airport before, narrowed her eyes as she watched everything. “Samir’s an expert who has been studying in the Carrion Palace for a long time. How did he lose against a man using Muay Thai?”“Muay Thai is nothing, my lady. No matter how strong that man is, he’d only amount to a be
