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
After returning to the No. 1 villa at Eden Mountain, Harvey York had nothing to do. He texted Mandy Zimmer, Yvonne Xavier, and a few others for a while before dozing off.After all, he could not rest well at the police station, no matter how calm he seemed. It was only natural to rest up after finally getting the chance.In the evening, the doorbell rang.Harvey freshened up himself before opening the door. Aria Surrey came inside with an elegant-looking lunch box.“You got all this time to get me takeouts?”Harvey gestured to Aria to sit.“You stayed at the police station yesterday. I figured you hadn’t eaten well since you didn’t go out today either.“I went to Wolsing Road and bought you some mutton chops.“It’s delicious. The meat is of good quality and not greasy either. It’s good for your body.”Aria opened the lunch box before the fragrant aroma wafted in the air.Harvey started chomping down on the food. He had not eaten anything for dinner yet.When Harvey was just
“He probably knows.”Aria Surrey thought about the situation for an instant.“Then again, Stefan has always been scared of Amos. After all, Amos excels both in knowledge and combat strength. Stefan never had a chance to fight against him.“But with the newfound strength, not only would Vaati worsen his relationship with his son if he intentionally talked him down, Stefan would probably become completely useless after.“Besides, the outskirts is in a dire situation right now.“You’re diverting attention to Stefan, but it doesn’t mean your conflict with the Smalt Sect would end just like that.“Because of Stinger and Xyla, Amos wouldn’t easily let you off the hook.“Vaati would probably try to benefit through this chaos too.No matter the experience or people skills, Aria would never be better than Harvey York.But before she came, she had already looked into the outskirts’ situation with Lennon Surrey. She would not have spoken this freely if that was not the case.“True. Peop
The next day, five o’clock in the afternoon.When he showed up at the Outskirts Courtyard, Harvey York held an exquisite box.This was a building for government officials. The outskirts was the capital of the Desert Province, and the building would hold most of the important officials here.As the second-in-command of the Desert Province, Neil Osborne had his independent courtyard.Harvey followed the address provided by Dutch Cobb before arriving at the courtyard.Two inspectors with firearms stood beside the entrance. One of them stepped forward and saluted Harvey after seeing his face.“Hello, sir.“This is private property. You’re not allowed entry.”Harvey smiled.“I’m looking for Mr. Neil. Please send word for me.“Tell him that I’m Harvey York.“I’m a friend of Dutch, the first-in-command of the Outskirts Police Station.”The inspector nodded slightly before hurrying into the compound.Around ten minutes later, he came back.“This way, please.”After walking past
Shortly, a ninja in black garb appeared not far away in front of them. He was the scout sent to investigate ahead. The scout's figure appeared right before Djinn. He bowed and said, "Lord Djinn."Djinn coldly asked, "How's the situation ahead?"The scout whispered, "I've confirmed that Geoffrey has joined the Grand City's Seven Families Joint Meeting. Three-fourths of the Universal Sect's elites had gone to the meeting. I have also confirmed that the place Neve stayed in, a courtyard at the back, isn't that strictly guarded. Our people have already hacked the security cameras in our route. We can immediately enter."Then, the scout quickly took out his tablet and showed Djinn some videos and pictures. Djinn looked at them and could not help but exclaim, "Good. Very good. Then let's do this together. Everyone, remember that we must finish this as quickly as possible. Our objective is to kill Neve and ignore everyone else. Understand?"Djinn's tone was low and serious."Yes!" All th
"That should work," said Coco after considering it. "I never liked Neve for the longest time. If we can pin her death on Vaida and Harvey, there's no harm to me at all. But we can't use anyone from Parkerville, so I'll need to make some arrangements…""No need for that," Dan said. "No matter how weak the Fosters are, they're still one of the Seven Families of Grand City. No one can touch them if one doesn't give them their all. It's best to get Sverker or Ghostface to kill her. I've been sealing all the entrances so far and not letting the people from Sky Plane enter. I believe they're very willing to cooperate if I simply ask for a favor."Dan gave it a deep thought after a while. Then, he smiled and said, "Right, I'll personally inform Clarion about this. Telling him that his beloved is in danger. I wonder, will it be Harvey's fault again if Clarion went to save her without making any preparations and ended up dying?"Coco's expression was merciless when she heard Dan's plans, thi
When Coco heard what Dan had to say, she gave him an expectant look. "Dan, when you finally become mayor, I'll be more than just the princess of Parkerville. I will be the princess of the entire Grand City! Let's see who dares to cross me then!"Then, Dan smiled gently at Coco. "It's good that you finally understand this.""But, the problem is that I still can't let this go! Vaida and Harvey have crossed a line! How could they slap a face as pretty as mine? How ridiculous!" Coco held her still-swollen face, looking vicious."Not to mention, Vaida even wanted me to reimburse her for all the profit I had already taken from the restaurant! But am I supposed to give that up? I can't bear the loss of face!" Coco said as a cold glint appeared in her eyes. It was obvious that she was never going to let it slide."Do you really want to get revenge?" Dan asked after giving it a thought. "The only person who could officially keep the Seven Families under control was the Hierophant. You can t
"He might look like a simple man, but every time he benefits from something, it's always because of good luck. But when someone is always this lucky, then the luck becomes part of his power. In the past, I also believed that I could easily crush him. But the result? Just how much have we lost in Grand City? "Clarion, Durandal… Other than these two, how many more must we sacrifice? How many people must we lose? That's why when we're targeting him, whether we choose peace or war, we must think things through and consider the consequences. Otherwise, we might be in huge trouble if we're careless…"Obviously, Dan was learning from his past mistakes. After failing multiple times, he had a deep understanding of Harvey. Even if her most beloved sister was utterly humiliated, even if Parkerville was humiliated entirely, Dan still believed that he needed to be careful about this. Since no one could tell who would come up on top if this continued."Fine. Since we can't secretly attack or get
Just when Harvey and Alexei were shocked at the truth Vaida had revealed, Coco was back in her home. Not only was Coco still awake, but she was also pacing around Dan's room with an angered expression."Of course, I know he's the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance and also know that he's Vaida's so-called man of destiny. He even humiliated Sky Plane at the training hall earlier. And then, he even made that traitor Clarion turn on you after what happened at the casino."But are we supposed to be scared of him because of all this? Kill him! Kill him now! I believe with your power, you have all the means to make him suffer and die in Grand City! What right does an outsider have to show off like that in Grand City? Are you kidding me?!"Coco no longer had the charm and grace when she was outside. All that was on her beautiful face was a vengeful expression. She wished she could stomp on Harvey right now and kill him using her high heels.Dan ignored her and simply drank the ho
When Coco heard what Harvey had said, her face twisted in anger. She wished she could pounce at him and tear his flesh with her teeth. But the last of her conscience made her suppress her anger.All these years, she called herself the princess of Grand City and openly said she could one-up all the women in this city, becoming the so-called number one lady. As for Vaida, the former number one? Coco did not pay her much attention and simply treated her as a mental patient who was not even worth her time.But now, she needed to apologize to Vaida?At that moment, all Coco could feel was her utter suffocation. But if she refused to apologize, Harvey would not let her be. He might even slap her again.Meanwhile, if she called reinforcements from Dan and Parkerville, it might not be enough to suppress this fool. Not to mention, this might make her the laughingstock of Grand City.When those thoughts crossed her mind, Coco decided to suppress her anger and end this situation. Once this w
"Have you forgotten your promises to my older brother? Are you going to turn back on your promises?" Coco reminded Zoltan since he had already chosen a side, there were things that he had to do no matter what he thought about it.However, Zoltan had completely ignored Coco. His expression changed a few times before he finally bowed and said, "My apologies, Mr. Harvey. I didn't recognize you for who you are."The moment Coco opened her mouth, Zoltan was 100 percent sure Harvey was indeed who he claimed he was. The Representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance, the Chairman of Country H Commercial Group, the Scion of Dragon Gate, Prince of South Light… But most importantly, he had utterly defeated Mark of Origin Fist and even the Second Branch owed him a great debt.All of this was enough for him to show respect toward Harvey.Most importantly, he was part of the Second Branch. He could choose to stand with Dan, but he could never go against the family's will. Otherwise, there wa
Crack!Zoltan heard a loud crack before he could even pull the Repeating Crossbow's trigger. Harvey had already snapped the Repeating Crossbow in half using just one hand after touching it.Harvey did not care about the disbelief on Zoltan's face. He raised his leg and immediately kicked him in his stomach. The attack was very powerful. While Zoltan was also a martial arts elite, he stumbled backward despite trying his best to keep himself under control.Coco, Tina, and the others all looked at this moment in surprise. While everything Harvey did so far had been arrogant, it was still quite challenging for them to believe he was still being so haughty before the person in charge of the Peacekeeping Agency.Typically, no one would have done something like this, even if they wanted to die. Harvey would pay an unimaginable price for all his arrogant actions thus far.Zoltan, who had just taken office, would not stop until Harvey was dead to protect his power and status. And just as e
Coco felt like she finally had someone to cling to when she saw Zoltan walking in with a stern expression, accompanied by his men with metallic weapons and Martial Arts Weapons on them.The fear on her face had disappeared entirely, leaving behind coldness and pride.She glanced at Harvey and said, "Zoltan, you're just in time. Belladonna Cult's Princess Vaida is sick again. Please send her to the mental health institute. Her sugar baby most likely took some sort of drugs… He even managed to injure Hereward and the others."Don't worry about this. Tell all your people to attack simultaneously and punish him according to our city's law. Remember, our city is a city of fairness. Punish them according to our laws. You can't show him leniency just because of Vaida!"Coco stood in the middle of the chamber with her hands folded in front of her chest. She stood there giving out commands, coming off as overbearing and egotistical. It was as if everything within Grand City was hers to comm
