Harvey York casually glanced at the picture.“Did you cripple him?“Or did you kill him?”“About that…Ledger York paused awkwardly.“You must be kidding, Sir York.“Amos aside, even the protectors at his side are Gods of War!“The maidens serving him are also unfathomable!“Other than that, he even brought thirty-six Brazen of Adenar Temple!“It’s said their Exorcism Formation can easily eliminate any God of War too!“I can’t just go up against people like that, Sir York!“Even if the York family does its best, we wouldn’t even be able to hurt let alone get close to them!”Harvey heaved a sigh.“You’re not telling me that this information is your so-called proof of loyalty now, are you?”“Why can’t it be?Ledger seemed determined.“You should know a prominent figure like Amos is completely secretive!“The people he brings and their strength are top secret as well!“We live in the age of information!“With enough information, you could stand your ground in the impend
Harvey York instinctively looked over before seeing a gorgeous woman. Even a single strand of her elegant hair would be enough to topple entire nations.Her clothes were completely crumpled as if they had been pulled around just before.Even her black stockings had holes in them.Her face was showing nothing but utter fear.‘Mandy?!’Harvey’s expression instantly changed before he could even figure out why Mandy Zimmer was there.Just as he was about to lift Mandy off the ground, a dozen figures appeared at the door.The person in front had his hands slung from his neck, yet his speech was powerful yet extremely arrogant.“Leave this damn place right now!“This place belongs to me, Welt York!”Ledger York froze before the cup in his hand fell to the ground.“Mandy!”Harvey quickly rushed forward before lifting Mandy.“What happened?” he asked quietly.He put his hand on Mandy’s wrist before his expression changed.Mandy was not just poisoned. She was also cursed.It was
His face was ashen, but his terrifying aura made it seem he could take down any opposition.Only powerful individuals would be able to hold such a powerful aura.“Are you insane?!Ledger York stood, trying to mediate the situation.“Don’t you know that I have this place booked?!“How dare you still show off before me?!“Do you want to die or something?!”“Bastard!”Welt York instantly kicked Ledger to the ground.“Do you think you call all the shots within the family?!“Times have changed!“If you don’t get out of here right now, I’ll kill you myself!”“You’re insane!“You’re completely insane!”Ledger burst out in anger.“How dare you disrespect me even though you belong to the family?!“I’m your senior!“Let me tell you something…”Thwack!Welt arrogantly kicked Ledger to the ground.“Even if my father’s here, I wouldn’t care!“Nobody’s allowed to stop Stinger from doing his business!”Clearly, Stinger knew who Welt and Ledger were.He curiously glanced at Ledg
Ledger York struggled to crawl back up before stumbling to Harvey York.“Don’t be rash, Sir York!“Don’t be rash!“That is Stinger!“The legendary God of War!“It won’t do you any good going against him!“It’s said he slaughtered many others on par with him with his bare hands!”“Bastard! Are you trying to ruin my business again?!”Welt York finally saw Harvey’s face.He feared Harvey but instantly became arrogant when looking at Stinger beside him.“You previously crippled me and broke my hands…“Do you want my legs too, or what?!“Let me tell you something! You fooled me before, but you won’t get so lucky this time!Welt gritted his teeth.He shifted his gaze toward Stinger before rolling his eyes.“Stinger’s here after all!” he exclaimed furiously.“This is Harvey, Stinger!“Not only did he cripple me, but he also went against the Young Master!“He’s planning to disrupt your business here!“He’s clearly trying to have that woman all to himself!”Stinger thought o
“You…“You psychopath!“How dare you do this to Stinger!“Don’t you know who he is?!”Welt York stood out to pamper Stinger with a furious look.The eight bald men from the back also stepped forward with cold expressions.These were monks from Adenar Temple. In addition to their combat strength, they were proficient in working together.The sects received information that Harvey York was a God of War, but these people did not care much.On one hand, they believed in their martial arts the most. Ultimately, all martial arts were born from sects.On the other hand, the information describing Harvey’s combat prowess was utterly exaggerated.The monks thought that despite being a God of War, Harvey must have gotten this far using drugs.These people, who had been training in martial arts since childhood, were not fazed at all.Even if Harvey did cripple Welt, the monks knew it would not be too difficult to take him down.The people around the monks retreated a few steps back.
Harvey York had no intention of causing trouble.Even if the sects planned to go against him, he would not do anything before they acted.Since Stinger planned to use Mandy Zimmer to further his martial arts…Then, he naturally would not let that go.“What? Are you threatening me and Stinger?”Welt York took a deep breath, forcing to compose himself.“Do you want me to give you an explanation?“I’ll give you that right now!”Welt pulled out his firearm before taking the safety off, ready to point it at Harvey’s head.Bam!Harvey swept his hand on the table when a pegwood flew straight into Welt’s wrist.“Aaagh!”A scream of pain was heard. Welt’s hand was so painful that it felt like it was cut off.The firearm in his hand dropped to the ground before it misfired.The bullet grazed his scalp. His face was showing utter shock.“Come! Kill him off!” he exclaimed, pointing at Harvey with his other hand.“I’ll take full responsibility!”The monks looked at each other befor
“You talk too much.“If you’re that impressive, then come at me already.Harvey York tilted his head.“You have eight other monks. You’re a God of War yourself.“If you fight me seriously, you might just hurt me and reclaim your pride.“I’ll even let you make the first move.”Welt York was completely infuriated after hearing those words.“Stinger!“That bastard doesn’t even respect you!“Kill him!“Attack simultaneously! If eight monks aren’t enough to help you, then we’ll get all thirty-six!“That arrogant bastard will surely die!”Stinger glared at Welt.“You’re a disciple of Adenar Temple. How are you this naive?” he replied coldly.“Master York has control over half of the outskirts!“Do you think a prominent figure like him will be taken down that easily?“If you go against him, you go against the four great tribes and the Wolven Tribe.“What will you do when all those forces decide to come at you?”Stinger took a deep breath before showing an unbelievably calm s
“Stinger, right?” asked Harvey York coldly while wiping his hand.“You talk a lot about your young master and your sect…“You even brought up my identity and promised me a lot of benefits…“Straight up, you’re telling me to kneel in front of Amos and be his lackey, right?“And if I don’t, you people wouldn’t hesitate to take me out either.“What? Do you think I’m scared?“You people attacked first! I only came to the rescue!“Yet you decide to twist the truth!“You even implied I’m using my identity to suppress you!“If that’s how you do things around here, then I’m happy to play along!Harvey crossed his arms while disdainfully glaring at Stinger.“I order you to kneel and slap yourself as an apology to Mandy.“You don’t have to do it, but I’ll use my identity as the representative to suppress your sects with the country’s sacred martial arts training grounds!“I’ll even promise them I’d resign after they support me! They’d be free from all restrictions after that!“We’l
Daichi smiled faintly and said, "I know very well that in the eyes of people like you, Islanders like us are detestable. Speaking with us, working with us, and even eating a meal with us is quite disgusting, right?"However, we must all learn to be patient. It has already happened for quite some time. Is there a point in rushing through these few minutes? It's better for us to share a good meal and have a chat afterward."Daichi slowly partook in the meal, putting a piece of fish into his mouth and chewing slowly. At the same time, he narrowed his eyes as he looked at Harvey, his eyes filled with subtle amusement.Daichi found the meal before him quite enjoyable. He also found himself quite satisfied looking at Harvey showing a hint of irritation."Looks like you really think that you have me under control," Harvey said coldly. "But I can tell you that by just sitting here, my patience is already at its limit. I have a habit, too. Rather than being threatened by someone, I prefer t
Harvey looked at Daichi coldly. "I don't think there's anything between you and me that we need to talk about."However, Daichi said passionately, "But I believe we do. This is not a place for us to speak of such things, though. I have prepared a table for us at the best restaurant serving Island Nation cuisine in Grand City. I invite you to dine with us. How does that sound?"Not only can we talk about what's happening at the Island Nation, Sky Plane's scenery, the Seven Families of Grand City…as well as what's currently going on with Ms. Mandy of the Jeans of Mordu!"Clack!Harvey immediately grabbed Daichi by the throat. "I dare you to say it one more time. Are you threatening me?"Daichi smiled faintly. "Threaten? You must be joking! Someone like me doesn't threaten anyone. However, Sky Plane does have a deal with the Jeans of Mordu. They will be sending out a representative, who turns out to be Ms. Mandy."However, Ms. Mandy doesn't know much about the situation in Sky Plane
Hearing the conversation between Harvey and Clarion, Hale wasn't sure what to say. He let out a long sigh and said, "Thank you, Mr. Harvey, Mr. Clarion. I won't waste my breath, then. Since you're willing to protect a cripple like me, I'll be in your care from now on."He took out a paper and pen from the bedside table and quickly drew a picture, then put it in front of him. "Mr. Harvey, this is the real location of the Chapter of Ascension. I know you're sincere in helping me. I can't repay you, so I can only offer you this. Please don't refuse it. This thing will only get me killed if I have it with me."However, if it's with you, you should be able to put it to good use. Consider it my goodwill. I… I hope you can accept this and give me a chance to repay your kindness."Hale then made a gesture and swore, "I swear, this is the real location where the Chapter of Ascension is hidden. This is not a death trap. Please trust me. Other than the Chapter of Ascension, there's also some
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
