Courtney Lloyd suddenly waved her hand, stopping Yasmin Osborne from talking before strutting forward in high heels.“What’s the chance of success, kid?” she asked coldly, her arms crossed.“A hundred percent.”“Tch! Young people nowadays…“Every single one of you only knows how to show off without doing any honest work!Courtney’s face was disdainful when she pointed at Harvey with her nose.“The people’s hospital already did the research. We need expert martial artists with medical skills to have a chance at curing Quincy!“I already contacted many expert martial artists, but they wouldn’t even dare come after hearing about the situation! They’re afraid of embarrassing themselves!“And yet a child like you is talking this big!“Do you really think we’d be fooled by some random nobody?“You would’ve been well-known in the martial arts world already if you’re actually as impressive as you claim you are! Everyone in Country H would’ve recognized you by now!“Then again, I don
Yasmin Osborne could not help but speak after hearing those words.“Courtney!“You’re just a doctor!“Do you even know martial arts?!“You should stop pretending!”“I don’t know martial arts, but I’m a good judge of character!“He’s a conman no matter how you look at him!”“Trust me, Neil! Sir York…”“Enough!”Neil Osborne looked stern when he made his final verdict.“I know I shouldn’t let someone like Harvey help. I don’t need you to remind me, Director Courtney.“I simply don’t believe a young man like him to be capable!“I would never trust a random nobody with my daughter’s life either.”After thinking of the previous incident with Harvey…If he could save Neil’s daughter, their relationship would be muddied even further.“I don’t know how you managed to get my sister’s trust, kid…” said Neil, coldly glaring at Harvey.“But I’m telling you this right now!“I don’t want anything to do with you!“We have nothing to do with each other, nor will we have anything to d
Neil Osborne chuckled out of rage.“Just you?“How arrogant can you get?”“The other experts only train in one martial art.“I’m proficient in a few, similar to your daughter.“Only I know just how complicated her situation is right now.“I do hope that you won’t regret your decision.“After all, there’s no medicine for that.”“Regret?Neil Osborne showed a cold yet calm expression.“That word doesn’t exist in my dictionary!“Are you telling me you’re the only one who can save Quincy?“What? Do you really think that you’re the best in the whole world?“You don’t realize you’re overestimating yourself!“You don’t even understand that there’ll always be someone better than you!“Let me tell you something! “The experts I invited are all higher-ups of the country’s Martial Arts Alliance! They’re all prominent figures in the martial arts world!“These people represent the pinnacle of the country’s martial arts!“I’ll make sure that you’ll open your eyes today!”Naturally
The man was the current master of Heaven’s Gate, Prince Gibson.As one of the masters of the sacred martial arts training grounds and a member of the Country H Martial Arts Alliance’s council, Prince’s fame in the martial arts world had been booming.Neil couldn’t help but come forward to welcome him.Before Prince could start showing off, he saw Harvey with the corner of his eye. He quickly stumbled towards Harvey. “Sir York! Why are you here?!”Courtney and the others showed horrible expressions when they saw Prince pampering Harvey. They didn’t expect the experts Neil invited would show so much respect towards Harvey.“Do your best,” Harvey said, without any intention of reproaching Prince and the rest. “It’s a rare opportunity to sell Mr. Neil a favor.”He then turned around before walking down the stairs. Prince, Layne, and Justin folded their arms in respect. “Have a safe trip, Sir York!”Neil’s face kept twitching. After a while, he finally spoke up. “Why are you th
“What should we do, then…?” Romina said, hesitant.“Nothing. Don’t try to erase the leads, and don’t let anyone find out that we already figured out the situation, either.”Harvey squinted outside the window.“Since we’ve found all this out easily, Neil and Yasmin would be able to do the same once they calm down. If we tell them about this now, they’ll think we hid the truth. After all, that man…”Harvey chuckled.Romina looked at him oddly; Harvey had already figured out Neil’s entire personality… And yet, that man was still trying to fight back.What a joke!“Right, how’s Quincy right now?” Romina asked. “She’s fine. I planned to help for Yasmin’s sake…but Neil wouldn’t let me. He cares too much about his reputation.“He got Prince and the others to help. I know those three; they wouldn’t be able to save Quincy, but it wouldn’t be hard for them to keep her alive.“If Neil begs for me to help, I’ll consider. But if he’s still going to be stubborn, then there’s no one to bla
Yasmin took a deep breath.“Everyone did their best yesterday.“Prince even brought Heaven’s Gate’s secret medicine to protect Quincy’s heart. Even then, they couldn’t deal with her cluttered energy in the end.“Quincy’s holding onto life for a little longer, but the problem’s still there.“I already told Neil to invite you in person…but he’s too proud to do that. He knows you’re his only hope of saving Quincy, too…”Harvey sighed.“Sometimes, one’s life depends on the thoughts of another. I’ll say again: I’m probably the only person who can save Quincy. You can let me know if I’m needed. I respect you, after all.”Harvey comforted Yasmin before changing the subject.“Right, Mrs. Yasmin. You didn’t call me just for this, did you?”Harvey understood Yasmin pretty well. There must’ve been urgent business; it was probably related to Longmen as well.If not, she wouldn’t have called in the first place. Quincy’s predicament was just small talk.“As expected of you to see through
This was the first time Longmen had ever encountered something like this.Harvey could tell this was the Smalt Sect’s doing. At the same time, he was almost sure that Amos started this.After all, things could be fabricated both ways.Those who’d do something like this would always prefer to make it seem like they didn’t.On the one hand, Amos could complete his goal flawlessly. On the other hand, he could use the opportunity to shift the blame to Stefan.Judging from this, Neil should be able to figure out the truth behind his daughter’s injuries.If not, Amos wouldn’t have taken action so quickly.Harvey ignored the commotion in front of him, and went to the side of the building according to Yasmin’s instructions.After making a call for a moment, Harvey saw Ernie sneaking out through a door crack. He started to panic, as if he was guilty of something, but immediately let out a sigh of relief after seeing Harvey’s face.“Sir York! Why are you here?” he asked instinctively.
“You’re the top vice branch leader of the outskirts’ branch, Wesson,” Kali said, glaring coldly at the man before her.“But don’t forget—you came from headquarters. Your strength and reputation are mediocre. You want to take a higher position? Keep dreaming!“Let me tell you something! I will never agree to your conditions! Are you going to leave yourself? Or do you want me to throw you out of here instead?”The man smiled, and crossed his legs.“Why say those hurtful words, Kali?“Since you know I came from headquarters, you should know I have a lot of connections and power.“Your father’s just a cripple at this point. Do you want him to stay as a branch leader? That’s not a good look now, is it?“After all, Longmen is one of the four cornerstones of the country. We can’t avoid getting into conflict. If a cripple’s going to lead thousands of disciples, I’ll be worried!“Besides, we don’t even know what’s going to happen to Mr. Neil’s daughter. Who’s going to take responsibilit
