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
“I’m only showing you respect because of your father’s accomplishments!“If it were anyone else, I would’ve razed their entire family to the ground before turning the beautiful women into my playthings!“You think you’re impressive just because I’m giving you my respect? How ignorant can you get?!”Wesson slammed the table furiously.“I’ll give you ten minutes to do everything I tell you to! If not, I’ll make sure your whole family dies!”Wesson looked as if he had Kali under his control.“I’ll give you ten minutes too, then. Kneel, break your arm, then deal with whatever’s going on outside as an apology.”Before Kali could say anything, Harvey came in through the door.“If not, you and the people supporting you will pay a huge price.”‘Harvey?!’Kali froze; then, a hint of joy crossed her face. She knew just how impressive Harvey was; she was certain the Howell family would be saved.This was about Longmen. No matter how strong Harvey was, he wouldn’t dare get involved with
Who was Wesson?In Longmen, he was an extremely authoritative figure. His uncle was none other than Bryce Kennedy, the vice master of Longmen.After coming to the outskirts, his status rose to even greater heights. Both the higher-ups and disciples of the branch had no choice but to show him respect.This was why he managed to become the top vice branch leader of the outskirts’ branch at such a young age.His intention to become the branch leader was just to add on to his resume, so he’d get a position as a higher-up in headquarters in the future.Despite that, Harvey still went against someone like him.The people behind Wesson chuckled in disbelief.Harvey ignored them, and checked his watch again. “There goes another two minutes.”“What a show-off!” Wesson snarled, glaring disdainfully at Harvey.“Who do you think you are? I’m talking to a beautiful woman here! You have no right to speak up right now!“If I want to, you’d die in a car crash as soon as you walk out the fron
