Stinger showed an indifferent expression with an unspeakably gloomy gaze.Along with the change in his aura, the air immediately became colder, as if someone had turned on the air conditioner, making everyone instinctively shiver.Ledger York’s eyes twitched when he was filled with regret.No matter how strong the York family was, it had no right to be involved in a conflict of this caliber.The family simply was not worthy to go against Harvey York or the sects.The family was just too powerless.Playing both sides to reap all rewards would probably cause untimely destruction.Harvey calmly looked at Stinger. No matter how horrible Stinger’s face looked, he only faintly smiled when he pulled his hand up.“You have five seconds.“I do hope that you’ll cherish the time.”“You…Stinger briefly glared at Harvey before showing a furious and gloomy smile.“Good! Very good!“I’ve been roaming the underworld for many years now! I’ve killed countless Gods of War and Kings of Arms
Ledger York trembled.“This is a misunderstanding! That’s it!“I’ve always been honest with you!“Welt doesn’t know what’s good for him! He’s siding with Adenar Temple to go against you!“I’ll give you an explanation for this!”Bam!Harvey York kicked Ledger to the side before coming to Mandy Zimmer’s side and giving her water.At the same time, he placed his hand on Mandy’s wrist to circulate her blood.“What happened here, Mandy?” he whispered when Mandy was mostly recovered.“Weren’t you supposed to head back to Wolsing?“How did you get yourself in this situation?”Mandy thought of what had happened. She had been cautious already but did not expect her bodyguards to be completely outmatched either.She was cursed without even realizing that.“I was naive.”Mandy took a deep breath before describing the situation.“Welt asked to see me.“He said there’s a way for me to obtain the Eyed Bead I sought for.“Then again, he wanted to strike a deal with me.“After seeing
“Other than being Young Master Amos’ right-hand man…“He’s also the Great Wall of Adenar Temple! His strength is on par with a God of War!“Adenar Temple’s been discreet all these years, but it’s definitely stronger than Aenar Temple!“Everything Stinger said about himself is also true!“It’d be easy for him to slay Gods of War, let alone Kings of Arms.“I’m afraid you’re in big trouble now, Sir York.”Harvey York stepped forward before tapping on Ledger York’s face, putting more force on his palm every time.“So, you sold me out because the sects are powerful, and Stinger’s strong…“Since I went against the sects, then it’s only natural that I have ways to put them to the ground.“I won’t kill you today, but I want you to relay something for me.“It doesn’t matter if you tell Amos or Stinger…“They better make sure they know what’s good for themselves.“If not, I wouldn’t mind turning every single sect into a graveyard.”-“Who does that bastard think he is?!“How dare
“I don’t have a way to cause Harvey trouble directly…“But Ledger, that old bastard, decided to go against you too!“I’ll take down the York family!“The family will become Young Master Amos’ lackey!“Consider that as repayment for you and Young Master Amos.“I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if I didn’t do that!“After all, I…”Crack!Before he could finish his sentence, Stinger reached out to grab Welt York’s neck while slowly applying more force over time.“Guh!“What are you doing, Stinger…?”Welt’s face was as pale as a ghost. He desperately tried to struggle but could only make noises from his mouth.“Do you really think I’m just a gullible child?“I know exactly how to deal with the situation and get an explanation back! I don’t need you to teach me how to do things!“You introduced Mandy to me…“Your master even got Harvey all the way here.“You think that I’d treat this as just a coincidence?“For the sake of your loyalty toward the young master, I ignore
About an hour later, Harvey York’s phone vibrated when a surge of texts came through.Harvey glanced before entering the lobby’s tea room using the presidential suite elevator.Dutch Cobb had already come with a stack of documents. As soon as he saw Harvey’s face, he respectfully bowed before him.Harvey chuckled before telling the staff to prepare two cups of tea. The two then had a joyful chatter.“How’s the investigation going?”Dutch showed a strange expression.“The sects have more than a thousand years’ history, Sir York. Information about them is extremely complicated. Separating the truths and lies in the documents would be hard.“Another thing, I’m afraid that you need to be more specific about which sect you’re trying to investigate so I can gather more information.”Harvey shrugged.“The York family got me to meet Stinger.“We didn’t have a pleasant time together.“Not only did I make Stinger kneel as an apology, I also made him slap himself many times.“It doesn
“Though, that’s just a generalization. In reality, there are many different sects in India as well.“Back then, only the Azure, Smalt, and Falvous Sects existed.“After a series of battles, the Azure Sect were defeated and forced to retreat from Country H.“The Falvous Sect ended up victorious and earned the right to promote their ideologies in the center of the country.“The Smalt Sect was also defeated. Only a single monk out of hundreds from the sect was left wandering around the country.“The monk didn’t choose to leave the country. He inadvertently stumbled to the outskirts.“Back then, the place was still considered a barbaric land. People from the mainland looked down on this place altogether. Only primitive concepts of worship originated from a place like this.“The monk combined his sect’s beliefs with the concept and created a newly distinct Smalt Sect.“The sect he created is located right at Scuva Mountains, where Adenar Temple currently resides.“It’s said he crea
“We’re not even at the interesting part yet.Dutch Cobb gave a chuckle.“The three great temples have made a deal to keep them as one.“The consuls of each temple will be chosen as the young master of the Smalt Sect for every generation.“Every young master would have a high chance of becoming the new master.“Simply put, this is how the three great temples’ power is regulated.“According to the rule, the person to become the next young master should be Stefan.“But for some reason, Adenar Temple was pretty adamant, claiming that Amos has already reincarnated three times, and he’s suspected to be the reincarnation of the Smalt Sect’s founder.“Because of this, most of the Smalt Sect’s higher-ups support Amos instead.“Stefan was unhappy. Aenar Temple was also furious, but they had no choice but to hold back their anger.“The Smalt Sect only seems united as a front…“But when the nine beads are gathered, the three great temples will finally combine forces once Amos’ identity
Amos smiled while squinting at the sight before him.“I am Amos Augustus. I have a meeting with Commander Hannah.”The red light on his head instantly disappeared. The steel doors, which were once locked tight, slowly slid open.Amos showed a faint smirk as he stepped forward with his arms crossed.His path was unobstructed. Not a single soldier was seen around him either.It was as if the base was completely empty.Then again, Amos knew there were at least a hundred firearms pointed at him at this very moment.If he did something out of line…He would be filled with holes the next second.That said, Amos did not mind the danger at all. He slowly walked forward when he finally came to the edge of an artificial lake.It was an extremely luxurious feature in the middle of a desert. However, to maintain the lake, which required copious amounts of water, a lot of resources and manpower were needed.For that, the artificial lake made the entire place much more lively, calming peo
