Salem crossed his arms, looking calmly at Harvey.He had a keen eye; he could instantly tell that the young man in front of him trained in martial arts. After all, could Harvey be this casual in front of him if that wasn’t the case?Even the consuls of the three great temples, who prided on their ability to connect themselves to a higher power, wouldn’t dare act this way.However, Salem still didn’t believe that Harvey was the one who defeated Creed and inadvertently caused his death.After all, Creed was still a King of Arms despite his shortcomings. A young man like Harvey simply wouldn’t be able to take out someone like that easily.“Forget it. You must be sent out here to test me. You people want to see if I’d actually dare kill someone! If you people want to see, then be my guest!”Salem’s eyes were filled with murderous intent as he glared at Harvey.The people from the high towers looked around them oddly. Conrad looked at Ernie, confused. Ernie was leaning on his chair
The place instantly got a lot colder; many were starting to shiver.Despite that, Harvey wasn’t phased by the murderous intent at all.“If you want to find the one who defeated Creed, then that’ll be me. If you want the one who took down Takai, then that’s still me. The one who made Stefan and Julie kneel is also me.”Harvey shrugged.“What? Still don’t believe me?”Everyone gasped after hearing Harvey’s confident words.“What? He’s Master York? How is that possible?!“Why is he talking about those achievements like it’s actually true? Ordinary people wouldn’t know about those things!”The people on the high towers froze; they didn’t know how to feel about Harvey’s words at all.Conrad recalled something. ‘That bastard! He was the one who sent me to jail after I went to the Surreys’ residence!’“Looks like you really want to die, huh?”Salem’s face darkened. It didn’t matter if Harvey was speaking the truth or not; he needed to kill Harvey immediately.“I do, but nobody’s b
“Since you’re telling me that you’re Master York… Then it doesn’t matter if it’s true or not!“For my master’s pride, and my brother’s revenge… I’d have to kill you no matter what!”Salem stomped on the ground, and his aura surged out. Nothing was happening in the eyes of ordinary people, but experts could tell that he was gathering all of his aura into his hand.At the same time, faint sparks could be seen traveling in between his fingers with a low hum.It was clear Salem was going all out.Harvey could die if the attack were to land.“What? Is that the legendary Electric Fist?!” Kyren was completely shocked.“Only a few people could achieve that since ancient times!“It’s said that after one takes in a lightning strike during a thunderstorm on top of a mountain, there is a chance to learn the move!“Salem managed that?!”“Is that…? Is that actually the Electric Fist?!” Raul was filled with disbelief.For martial artists, training one’s aura was a lot more important than
“What?! Even Raiden?!”Baylee was filled with shock.To show off their combat strength, America filmed a series of Hollywood movies for that. Raiden was one of the featured people in them.In that movie, Raiden was capable of achieving anything. He was probably not as good in reality, but his name was simply too influential!From this alone, it was enough to show just how terrifying Salem was.“This means…he’s finished?”Baylee covered her small mouth with a horrible expression.“Judging from Salem’s strength as a God of War, Harvey would never be able to go against him, even without the Electric Fist.”Raul sighed.“Harvey said Salem’s strength came from genetic enhancements… But martial arts is all about the end result, and not the process. Who would care how anyone got to this point?“The kid’s got moves…but he doesn’t realize that there will always be someone better. That’s how the world works, after all!”Raul, who was a skillful man, looked down on Harvey completely; h
‘One slap was enough to send an expert like Salem flying?!’Everyone’s jaws dropped; they couldn’t come to their senses at all. The people on the high towers looked thunderstruck. Ernie instinctively slapped himself in the face a few times to make sure he wasn’t dreaming.Who was Salem?He was an advanced God of War!Henrik’s top disciple, considered invincible in Chinatown! He managed to defeat the Northwest Demon with just a poke and a strike!And yet, he was sent flying by some ordinary man!Salem stumbled back up, a sluggish look on his face.No matter what, he was still a God of War. Despite that, he couldn’t hold himself against Harvey!This…This was unreal!This was simply insane!Salem felt a surge of sharp pain going through his body; he kept shivering, to the point he almost fell back on the ground.“You snuck up on him! You definitely snuck up on him!” Conrad exclaimed after coming to senses. “My senior is invincible! How could he lose like that?! Start again!
Harvey wasn’t fazed by Salem and Conrad’s denial at all.On one hand, he wanted to see the standards of America’s genetic enhancements. On the other hand, he didn’t mind wiping the floor with the two’s pride.Kyren frowned; he was impressed by Harvey’s performance, but he didn’t think Conrad and Salem’s words would bait him into fighting again.He couldn’t help but look down on Harvey ever so slightly.Harvey was a skillful man, but he was just an easily controlled young man.A bold thought came to Kyren’s mind when he looked at Harvey; something else was mixed in his shock as he looked into Harvey’s eye.Baylee wanted to say something when looking at Harvey, but she ended up keeping quiet.“These people are shameless! You’ve already won! There’s no need for you to fight them anymore!” Ernie yelled.However, Conrad truly thought that Salem only lost because of an accident. He took a deep breath before speaking up again.“No need to hold back, Salem! Give it your all!”Salem n
Kyren, who still had other thoughts in his mind, couldn’t stop his eyes and mouth from twitching.He suddenly understood. It wasn’t that Harvey was arrogant; Salem was just incomparable to him, no matter what!A cold shiver ran down Salem’s spine.‘How? How is that even possible?! Salem did everything he could! He even struck first! And yet, he lost so easily! That’s just…’“Oh! I’m sorry! I snuck up on you again!” Harvey seemed a little embarrassed. “Come on! Let’s redo the fight. It doesn’t count!”The people were completely shocked. They had never seen someone fight this way before.After all, those words meant completely different things since they came out of Harvey’s mouth!It wasn’t that Harvey wanted to rob Salem of any chance of coming back… He was just going easy on Salem!Conrad felt nothing but resentment towards an unreasonable man like Harvey.“Everyone! You all saw me sneaking up on Salem just now. For fairness’ sake, I’ve decided to fight him again.“After all
“You’ve sacrificed too much for Master Henrik’s sake, Salem!” Conrad said, excited.At the same time, he turned to Harvey and dragged his thumb across his neck, convinced Harvey was dead for sure.“Come on, then,” Harvey said calmly.Salem moved his body, and instantly appeared in front of Harvey with ease.It was the calmness of his movements that was extremely terrifying. In everyone’s eyes, Salem’s body didn’t seem like it existed at all.He threw a punch right at Harvey; the attack immediately shook the world. He waved his other hand, and a firearm slid out. At the same time, he pulled the trigger.It was hard to believe that an expert like Salem would be this shameless. It was already bad enough that he needed drugs to get to this state, but he even pulled the trigger in a battle of life and death.Everyone felt a cold shiver run down their spine after seeing this, and thought Harvey was destined to suffer a horrible death.Baylee sprang out of her chair. “Look out!”“Mas
Harvey narrowed his eyes. "Early?"Yvonne nodded. "Correct. According to our sources, he went to a rest stop about 10 miles away from Wolsing to pick up someone."Harvey was quite curious. "Who can make Linus so passionate to welcome? Who is this person?"Yvonne massaged her forehead. "Speaking of which, this man can be considered your subordinate in a way. Unfortunately, it's fate that he won't be under your control."Harvey narrowed his eyes. "Someone from the Sacred Martial Arts Training Grounds?""That's right. The scion of the Sacred Martial Arts Training Grounds in Parkerville, Dan Parker. Previously, he requested to marry someone from the Wright family, and the Wright family had officially responded. He'll soon be the son-in-law of the Wright family," Yvonne explained sternly.Harvey was slightly stunned. "The son-in-law of the Wright family? Which means…Sienna's fiancé?"Meanwhile, at the rest stop 10 miles away… The rest stop which was usually quite plain was lavishly
Harvey had been freed, but there was still some paperwork that needed to be done.Harvey was patient, as if he really wanted the key to the city and prevent Country A from trying to stir up another storm with him. He was very cooperative throughout the entire process.Only once all the paperwork was done did Soren sigh in relief. "Leave the rest to us, Harvey. In the next few days, stay discreet so no one will get you into any problem.""What? I've already proven that I'm innocent. What kind of problems will there be?" Harvey said curiously.Soren didn't want to hide anything from Harvey and said with a bitter smile, "I won't lie to you. While the people who died were from Country H, they had already obtained permanent residency in Country A, which meant that they were a part of Country A as well. Just today, Country A's side had already given us pressure through their embassy."Logically speaking, we have to find the culprit as soon as possible. However, all the evidence we've co
Ten minutes later, Soren personally asked Harvey to join him in the director's office. After a pot of hot tea had been brewed and poured, he sighed and said, "I'm so sorry for today. It's my subordinates' blunders. He did whatever he wanted already despite just being promoted. I'll be sure to make up to you."Harvey smiled. "I can understand that with your family's size, you'll inadvertently end up with a few people with questionable behavior. You better keep an eye on things and don't let one person ruin everything for you and your family. Wolsing is different from Golden Sands. You have to be extremely careful when you're here."Harvey's words were cold, but it was enough to make Soren think about it. Meanwhile, Garrick, who was standing there with his arms next to him, almost fell on his knees as he felt his legs lose strength. Since simple words from Harvey had already ended his future."Of course… It's best if someone can correct themselves after knowing the errors of their
"Ha! What an idiot! Who does he think he is? If he really is someone important, why is he even here?" Snowe sneered.The only emotion Snowe had for Harvey was disdain. She despised men who have no capabilities at all the most.Garrick and the others went to the main hall of the precinct. Everyone from Country A had been told to go home. At this moment, a row of cars with flags drove toward the entrance of the precinct. Judging from the car plates and the flags on the car, it was obvious the person inside the car was someone important within the police force. Very quickly, the door was opened. Garrick and the others saw the most important and newly promoted man within the police force in Wolsing—Soren Braff, ranked two within the Braff family.There were several high-level members of the police force with him in white uniforms, and all of them exuded an incredibly powerful presence. The moment Garrick and the others saw Soren appearing, they quickly greeted him with a smile."Wh
Hearing Harvey's conversation, the beautiful female officer said in disdain, "What? Are you pretending to contact someone from the Braff family? Do you think that's enough to scare the director? Our director is someone important within the family! If you really know the people from the Braff family, why wouldn't he know you?"I'm telling you right now. If you really did call someone from the Braff family, I, Snowe Leo, will eat this phone right in front of everyone!"In the beginning, Garrick was taken aback as well. But after he quickly glanced at the number on the screen, he smiled coldly. "You probably didn't know this, but aside from the number of my family's patriarch, I've saved the number of everyone important in the family. Do you want to trick me using just a random number? You're quite bold!""Really, now?" Harvey said with a smile. "At the very least, you know that you don't have the right to know his number. In that case, I'll help you delete that number. It won't be g
"Ha… I'm the director of the precinct in the Third Ring, and I'm not worth your time?" Garrick was so angry that he was laughing. "You made yourself sound like you're someone very capable. Come on, show me just how capable you are right now!"Garrick immediately grabbed his phone and tossed it at Harvey. "Come on, make a call! If you can find someone who can overpower me, I'll bend my knee right now."The other two officers also looked at Harvey as if they were looking like a fool. "Forget the fact that you're just an ex-live-in son-in-law… Even if you really did become a CEO through your own abilities, what is there to be proud of?" the female officer said with a smirk. In her eyes, Harvey was just a loser. If a man like him wanted to pursue her, he would have already kicked him to the rub.Harvey didn't waste his breath and immediately picked up the phone, giving Eliel Braff a call. Very quickly, the call came through and a stern voice came from the other side. "Who is thi
"Your deduction is quite interesting. Sounds like a detective show, to be honest," Harvey said calmly. "Unfortunately, I have a clear conscience. Why should I admit to a crime I never committed?""Not you?" The female officer slammed the table again. "If you didn't do it, why are you so willing to cooperate with us? You're telling me it isn't because you're feeling guilty? Harvey York, you have to understand that the crime you committed is very serious, especially when the person you killed is from Country A!"If the Embassy sends a specialist to interfere with this investigation, you're going to be in trouble. You better confess when the precinct can still help you. Otherwise, I'm afraid there's nothing you can change no matter how much you regret it in the future."Their phones would buzz every once in a while, which meant new information coming in. From the new information, not only was Harvey the live-in son-in-law of the Jeans of Mordu, one of the top ten families, but he was a
"A lawyer?" Garrick scoffed. "Forget about a lawyer, it's pointless even if you find a wizard! I've already read your information. The CEO of Sky Corporation? Maybe in other cities, the CEO of a public company deserves some respect, but don't forget that this is Wolsing, the country's seat of power! There are plenty of CEOs walking around here!"When you're in Wolsing, it doesn't matter who you are, or what kind of special identity you have. Those who commit crimes here will be punished! You won't be given any special treatment!"Garrick then looked at Harvey as if he had an advantage over him. "Confess the crimes you've committed! That way, I can grant you some leeway. Otherwise, you'll suffer a terrible death!"Harvey merely looked at Garrick briefly and said, "You didn't interrogate me, and you didn't show me any evidence. All you do is to tell me to confess. I must say, you're quite tough. But aren't you afraid of accidentally offending the wrong people here in Wolsing, especial
Yvonne frowned slightly when she realized what Garrick meant. "Director, my boss isn't a suspect. He's only here…""Whether he's a suspect or not isn't up to you or me. It's up to the law and the evidence," Garrick said, glaring at Yvonne. His gaze became somewhat sleazy, and he began to scheme how he could use this scenario to throw this beautiful woman into his bed.He continued to say righteously, "Ma'am, I'm warning you. You better not interrupt our investigation. Of course, if you have something to say, you can always lodge a complaint to the office."After that, he waved his hand, and the two officers behind him led Harvey into the interrogation room. Seeing what had happened, Yvonne hesitated a little before sending out a message quickly on her phone.This was something quite serious. If Harvey went in because of this, it would be quite troublesome for the Xavier family as well. Unfortunately, it wouldn't be convenient for the Xaviers to do anything…Meanwhile, Harvey w
