Xyla and the others froze, and finally understood.Talking to Harvey was just a waste of time.It’d be way easier to cripple him instead. His life would be in their hands. He’d have no choice but to obey!“Fuck!”The man chuckled coldly; he naturally knew who Welt was.He stood up; as soon as he did that, his muscles started to bulge and his white coat instantly exploded. His well-defined muscles instantly turned green. His eyes were bloodshot eyes, and he looked as if he had lost his rationale.He charged right toward Harvey, and the simple move was enough to shake the entire earth.This was a Giant—a type of Mutant from America.Harvey watched him curiously; changing one’s muscles through genetic science resembled divine power. Genetic science was a little stronger than what Harvey initially thought.Even so, he had no intention of taking action; all he did was show a little interest.Romina’s expression changed, and she waved her hand; she and a dozen sacrificial soldiers
Bam, bam, bam!A single glance was enough for the man to stumble back.He created quite a lot of distance from Harvey, too.Everyone could tell that the seemingly invincible being was scared witless, as if he had met his arch-nemesis.Xyla and the others were dumbfounded; they didn’t know what was going on.Normally speaking, this man would never be scared of anything. After all, Giants were made with Northern European Berserkers as inspiration. They were mindless killing machines with no sense of fear.And yet, this man seemed horrified.‘What’s going on? Harvey didn’t do anything, did he?‘He only gave a single glance! What’s there to be scared about?‘What a joke!’An unbelievable thought came to Xyla’s mind.She knew Harvey was a capable man…but no matter how strong he was, one’s strength could only be determined after getting into a fight.Harvey only looked at the Giant, and the Giant stumbled back.This didn’t make sense!“Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!”The man came to his se
Not only did a mere fork penetrate the defenses he prided himself in, he was also left in a life-or-death situation.Instantly, his face went pale. He fell into a corner, panting for air. No matter how resentful he was, he had no other choice but to remain still.Everyone was shocked to see it.‘A fork?! All he used was a fork!‘That was enough to take down a Mutant? That man’s completely invincible!‘That’s… That’s just insane!’Welt’s entire body was shivering in fear as soon as he saw this.He knew Harvey was scary, but not to this extent. Judging from what happened, it’d be all too easy for Harvey to take him out.He instantly retreated to the back of the crowd without saying a single word.Harvey probably didn’t care about him at first… But if Harvey decided to kill him on a whim, he wouldn’t get a chance to survive.“How dare you cripple our important guest?! You have no laws!”Xyla quickly calmed herself down after her initial shock.Having seen everything, she could
Clack!Harvey instantly crushed the teacup in his hand.Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!Shards flew out everywhere, piercing the wrists of the disciples who were preparing to pull the trigger.Excruciating pain traveled throughout their entire body, turning them numb. At this point, they couldn’t even hold their firearms straight, let alone pull the trigger. Loud clacks resounded as they dropped their firearms to the ground.Seeing this, Xyla’s face turned awful. She was just about to pull out her firearm, but Harvey had already pointed his at her head while wrapping it with some tissues.“These firearms are interesting… As soon as I pull the trigger, your head’s going to blow up like a watermelon, right?”Harvey toyed around with his firearm as he slowly stepped forward with a faint smile.Xyla’s head was covered in cold sweat, and she gritted her teeth. “You wouldn’t dare!”More people rushed into the room with fierce expressions, holding the same type of firearm. However, nobody da
At the same time, inside a coffin made out of golden-silk phoebe wood in the bar’s warehouse…When Xyla made a noise with her prayer wheel, someone exhaling could be heard. Soon after, a horrifying aura seeped out.A loud bang came, and the coffin was pushed open from the inside. From inside, a scrawny-looking elderly man in a yellow robe sat up. He had sluggish eyes, and the corner of his mouth was slightly rotting; he looked like a walking corpse.If it wasn’t for his occasionally raising chest, people would treat him as an actual zombie.His body moved, and he flew out of the coffin like a ghost.At the same time, in the No. 1 room…Harvey smiled at Xyla as soon as he felt a strange, creepy aura.“You told me that times have changed. It’s the age of firearms, no? What’s the point of getting an expert to help you, then?”Xyla chuckled coldly.“You think you’re impressive, don’t you? You think you’re invincible, right? You think firearms don’t work against you!“Well, I’ll m
Harvey grew curious when he sensed the aura locking onto him.The Smalt Sect’s tricks had exceeded his expectations. The sect wouldn’t be as complacent as some of the sacred martial arts training grounds, either. They were used to their tradition, but they could also accept things of modern society. Terrifying forces like these would be difficult to deal with.There was a reason the sect could survive for more than a thousand years.While Harvey was thinking about the situation, a figure in a yellow robe stepped into the room from the window.His robes were worn out, and the beads hanging on his neck were filled with blood and scars. His hands were folded together, and he glanced at Harvey with a grim expression.With a getup like that, he wouldn’t even need to wear makeup for a horror movie.The tiles where he landed instantly turned to dust, leaving only two faint footprints.Horrifying! How horrifying!The disciples of the Smalt Sect instinctively stepped back.Even a few
American firearms were clearly extraordinary; firearms designed to combat expert martial artists and Mutants would surely have better firepower compared to the ordinary ones.With the terrifying sound and the energy of the shot, ripples could be felt around the entire room.Seeing that, the Demon Monk took a few steps back.Harvey smiled faintly, and blew on the barrel of his firearm.“You’re not bad with the firearm, kid.”The Demon Monk felt a sharp pain, and saw a red mark on his palm. He flicked his hand to dissipate all the residue energy before chuckling wretchedly at Harvey.“You managed to get the upper hand with a weapon, but I’ll still rip you to shreds in the end!”He was convinced that without the special firearm, Harvey would’ve died to his move.“Is that so?” Harvey said, smiling. The Demon Monk scoffed coldly, then pounced forward in another direction before throwing a punch.Seeing that, Harvey calmly turned his firearm and pulled the trigger.Bang, bang, ba
Everyone’s jaws dropped. Romina, who had already experienced Harvey’s strength, couldn’t believe what she saw either.‘That’s no ordinary martial artist! That’s a Demon Monk of the Smalt Sect! He managed to send an expert of that caliber flying with a single slap?‘That… That’s just too much…’The Smalt Sect’s reputation instantly went down the drain after everything that happened. It was a shame; the disciples weren’t as excited compared to before, neither did they have any thirst for revenge.An unspeakable chill went down everyone’s spine, making them shiver and grit their teeth in fear. Their souls were frozen stiff.“Go! What are you waiting for? Go right now! Kill him!”After freezing in place for a long while, Xyla snapped out of it and gritted her teeth. She knew she had to kill Harvey then and there.The Demon Monk, a Mutant from America, and Emil, the man who Amos had been trying to get closer to…If she didn’t accomplish her goal and let all this happen… Even if sh
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
