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
“You’re calling the cops?“You want the government to bring you justice?Harvey York chuckled before clapping his hands.“Fine. Since you think you have the power to do that, I’ll play along!“I do want to see if someone like you is in the right or if I’m actually standing up for what’s right!”Xyla Garcia instantly scoffed after hearing Harvey’s words.Ever since she started studying, she knew it was extremely difficult for the police to advocate for the right things.She waved her hand, signaling her people to cut off every single exit from Harvey.It was clear in her mind that the Smalt Sect had many ways to deal with him if he were locked behind bars.A group of men in uniform showed up in less than ten minutes.Those people were showing stern expressions after seeing the injured lying on the ground with scattered firearms.Anyone could tell that there was a big fight going on here.The people in the room were quickly apprehended.Harvey did not resist at all. He allow
“So, you’re saying that person would abuse his authority because of the Smalt Sect?” asked Harvey York curiously.This was an unexpected surprise.Harvey wanted to deal with the Smalt Sect himself, but it would have been nice if the Osborne family had dealt with them first.The man had not gone against Harvey before, but it would be expected for him to cause trouble judging from Harvey’s conflict with the Osborne family back in Flutwell.Dutch Cobb briefly thought about the situation.“Judging from the Osborne family, this is an excellent opportunity to sell a favor to the Smalt Sect. Because of this, they’re most likely to cross a few lines.“But the man spent a great deal of effort to build his immense reputation. If he abused his power, his reputation would be immediately thrown out of the window.“That’s why I have no clue what will happen next.”Harvey took the glass of milk Dutch offered.“It’s not that hard, actually,” he said after taking a few sips of milk.“Since he
Harvey York gave a shrug.“I stood up for what’s right. I lent aid when someone needed help the most.“Is your second-in-command not planning to award me with anything?”Rae Higgs sighed.“You did do that, but you clearly went overboard.“You’re not deemed guilty, but you won’t be awarded either.”Harvey smiled when he signed the documents.“Looks like that man’s impartial after all.“Judging from the Osborne family, even if they can’t kill me, it wouldn’t be challenging to make things complicated for me.“Either he’s truly a saint or the most heinous man there is…”Rae was dead silent. She did not know how to respond to that.Dutch Cobb let out a sigh before showing a confused gaze.“Mr. Neil is upholding his reputation…“But, it’s safe to say he’s completely gone against the Smalt Sect and the Americans.“Provoking America isn’t that big of a deal, but he’d be in deep trouble for going against the Smalt Sect.”Harvey tapped on Dutch’s shoulder.“Don’t worry. No matter
“Cough cough!”Light coughs came from behind Miley Surrey.Stefan Augustus stepped forward with a strange look.He folded his arms as he briefly glanced at Harvey.“Thank you for this, Sir York.“If it weren’t for you, I’d turn into the Smalt Sect’s biggest joke. Maybe even the entirety of the outskirts.”Stefan gritted his teeth.Miley was his woman, no matter what.And yet Xyla Garcia still decided to make her accompany Emil Higgs.Not only was Stefan being utterly disrespected, he was also being treated like a cuck!For any man, this was completely unforgivable.“You’re too kind.Harvey smiled.“The enemy of my enemy is my friend.“My hostility toward you has completely gone after our last meeting.“That said, I’m unsure if I should say this…”Stefan paused before looking around him.“Please, speak your mind.”Harvey crossed his arms when he stepped forward.“I met Xyla and Stinger recently. They are all Amos’ people…“Judging from their actions, I could tell the
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
