Harvey knew something about Casks in the martial arts world.Normally speaking, schools would choose a few women with extraordinary talent as support, or Casks. After using said Casks, they’d be crippled for the rest of their lives, or they’d simply die.Harvey couldn’t be bothered to deal with Miley because of their history…But for Lennon’s sake, he didn’t want to see her die either.Besides, people who look for Casks were naturally evil anyway.Harvey quickly took a step forward. “Leave her and go.”The joyful group froze, and looked loking at Harvey with disbelief.“Oh? Times sure have changed, huh? After all, people like this have no right to stand in front of us in America!”The man squinted at Harvey.“I’m in a good mood. I can’t be bothered to deal with you right now. Step aside.”“I know this woman. That’s why you can’t take her,” Harvey said. At this distance, Harvey could clearly tell that Miley was cursed. The curse seemed to have a similar effect like the one M
Harvey sighed, then stepped forward.Remi took off his belt, and pressed Miley onto a wall with a cold smile.“Hurry up, you people! Deal with that ignorant brat! I’ll let you all go at it when I’m done here! It’ll be quick!”He lifted Miley’s short skirt, a wretched look on his face.The tattooed man grinned deviously, and made a gesture. “Break his limbs. Keep him alive. Blame it on him when the girl dies!”The bald men started breathing rapidly; they cracked their necks as they walked forward, planning to take action.Bam!Without wasting a single second, Harvey kicked everyone down as soon as they got closer. The sounds of bones cracking were heard when he stomped on their arms.“Aaagh!”Screams of pain were heard, and the tattooed man’s expression changed; he didn’t think that Harvey was able to fight like that.However, he didn’t fear Harvey at all; he quickly pulled out his firearm and took off the safety, then aimed it at Harvey’s head.Clack!It was a shame; before
Remi stepped forward, chuckling arrogantly. “Enough struggling, kid.“My webs are infused with strong anesthetics. Not just any adult… Even an elephant wouldn’t be able to move an inch after getting hit!“I’m going to cut off every single part of your body, then break every single bone! I’ll make you watch yourself turn to mush!”Remi was just about to reach out to Harvey’s neck.Slap!He was instantly caught off guard, and suddenly spun midair; a mouthful of blood gushed out as soon as he smashed into the ground. A few teeth were mixed into the blood as well. It was a miserable sight.Remi was filled with disbelief.“Impossible! How are you fine? My web has poison from a Black Widow! This doesn’t make any sense!”Bam!Before Remi could finish his sentence, Harvey took a step forward and kicked him to the ground. At the same time, he rolled the web he caught into a ball and stuffed it in Remi’s mouth.Remi’s eyes rolled before he passed out.Harvey lifted Miley from the co
A few minutes later, Miley managed to recover slightly. She seemed more conscious than before.She slowly opened her eyes, then froze in place as if she understood something.After looking around the place, she finally saw Harvey and smirked coldly.“Sir York. If you’re interested in me, you should’ve just said so. You didn’t have to curse me in the first place.”Harvey was utterly speechless.“How ungrateful can you get?” he said, rolling his eyes.“If it weren’t for me, you would’ve been someone else’s Cask by now. But here you are, still here talking big.“You should know I’m not interested in a loose woman like you at all. You think I’d curse you in the first place?”“You…”Miley heaved her chest, furious, before coughing out a lot more blood. A fishy scent wafted in the air, and she became a lot more relaxed.She looked puzzled; then glanced at Harvey. She almost broke a tooth from grinding them in anger. There were other ways for her to release the blood, but Harvey use
“I already told your people that I was here when I saved your life. They’ll be here to raise a ruckus soon enough.”Harvey smiled.“If you’re scared, you can leave whenever you want. I won’t stop you.”“You…”Miley glared fiercely at Harvey before letting out a sigh.“Don’t worry. I won’t leave.“I’m not stupid. If I leave now, the Smalt Sect will just drag me back to be Emil’s Cask. It’s only normal, though. Followers of the Aenar Temple are just sacrifices, anyway.Miley sighed, the helplessness in her eyes evident. Harvey looked at her from the corner of his eye.“I don’t like you at all… But for Mr. Lennon’s sake, I’ll protect you as long as you stay behind me. Don’t worry.”Miley looked at him oddly, then sighed once more.“Your skills, strength, and background can make you into one of the top-rated people in the entire country… But you have a deadly flaw. Do you know what that is?”“What’s that?” Harvey asked calmly.“You’re too soft,” Miley replied.“Since ancient
“I’m sorry, Ms. Xyla! We ran into a bastard who took Miley away after taking us down!”The tattooed man seemed a little afraid, but he still mustered his strength to speak. His eyes kept twitching.“Right! He told us he was waiting in room number one! He told us to go to him if we dare!“Another thing—Young Master Remi’s with him too! The web Young Master Remi shot out was stuffed into his mouth as well! That man’s actually going to kill him!“It’s not that we’re powerless, Ms. Xyla! That man’s just ruthless! We can’t do anything!”The people there frowned after hearing the tattooed man’s words.‘The Smalt Sect has a powerful identity in the outskirts… Who would dare go against us in the first place? Is the man stupid? Or does he have a death wish?‘Besides, Young Master Remi belongs to Evermore! Evermore has always been discreet, but knowledgeable people would know just how strong the organization is!‘Any leader of the Twelve Earthly Branches would be able to form a top-rated
Xyla glared at Emil.It was clear that as Amos’s servant, she was an extremely smart woman. She could tell that Emil was making a fool out of her. However, she had no intention of exposing him.“Judging from the Smalt Sect’s strength and background in the outskirts… Even the five hidden families or the top ten families wouldn’t dare go against us here,” she said after finishing her tea.“And yet, someone’s challenging us here…? Have we been too discreet lately? Or is someone being a little too cocky?”Everyone looked at each other; nobody would dare say a single word.Xyla casually poured herself another cup of tea; she smiled as she looked at the flower patterns on the cup.“No matter the case, that man must have a death wish…”The tattooed man thought of something.“Ms. Xyla, I heard there’s a man named Master York who won the competition in the oasis. Not only did he keep challenging us, but he also humiliated Stefan before. Do you think that’s him?”“Are you talking about
Lupus felt like he could go against anyone.He waved his hand and pointed at eight of the Smalt Sect’s disciples, then strode out of the room fiercely. A few beautiful women came over to watch the show as well.Lupus started feeling more prideful.The staff and security guards who had no time to react were all instantly kicked down as soon as they got into the group’s way.A person who stumbled his way here on accident was lifted, then ruthlessly slapped around.The person froze; this was his first time seeing something so shocking.Bam!The door of the No.1 room was kicked open. The waiters serving at the door were kicked inside as well.Many people walked in fiercely.In front of everyone, the eight disciples of the Smalt Sect revealed unspeakable murderous intent. The beautiful women crossed their arms as they entered, patiently waiting for the show to happen.After getting everyone in the right mood, Lupus crossed his arms and laughed coldly.“You’re dead, you little bas
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
