“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
Harvey looked calmly at his watch before dialing a number on his phone.“There’s someone called Wesson in Longmen, right? He committed multiple crimes, disobeyed his superiors, and took advantage of the people. Deal with it.”Then, Harvey hung up.He had called Rachel. Even though she wasn’t with him, she was still in charge of the Longmen Law Enforcement Hall. A task like this wasn’t difficult for her at all.After all, the law enforcement hall had a high status in the Inner and Outer Eight Halls, and the thirty-six branches. As long as they abided by the rules, even the Elder Group wouldn’t dare question them.They started looking into Wesson soon after.To Wesson, Harvey was just trying to show off in front of him. He had an immense reputation and identity within Longmen; there was no way he’d be scared of someone like Harvey.The beautiful women were looking at Harvey as if he was a clown. They thought Harvey’s acting was a little too much.‘Who is Wesson?‘Forget the fact
After a few phone calls, Wesson showed a horrible expression.‘It’s real! The law enforcement hall has actually issued a warrant to capture me!‘They said Rachel was behind this too! The law enforcement squad has no choice but to obey!‘Three minutes to hand over my duties is already respect enough… I’ll be finished if I’m not careful!’A beautiful woman who kept looking down on Harvey quickly changed her expression, and hurriedly went to Wesson’s side.“What do we do now, Young Master Wesson? This kid probably has connections with the law enforcement hall!” she said nervously. “So what? The law enforcement hall’s at the top of the Eight Inner and Outer Halls, but that doesn’t matter. There’s no point for you people to be scared!“Let me tell you something! Even if I give up right now, the law enforcement squad wouldn’t dare lay a finger on me!”Wesson scoffed coldly at the beautiful woman before sizing up Harvey and Kali.“You have your tricks…but it’s useless! Your people c
Not just Wesson, even the people behind him froze.Kali’s jaw dropped when she saw everything happen; she was filled with disbelief.Even though Wesson was quite arrogant because of his position, he was at least a smart man. He understood soon enough.This was probably Harvey’s doing.Kali boasted about Harvey’s identity just before, and there was Bryce’s attitude… All of this was enough to show just how terrifying Harvey actually was.Wesson’s eyes twitched for a moment. He had no choice but to give up.“I’m sorry, brother! I was ignorant! Please! Be the better person and let me go!“To show you my apology… Not only will I remove myself from the position, but I’ll also deal with everything that’s been going on outside.“I’m only asking you to let me go. Let’s show each other some respect! We’ll bury the hatchet here! How does that sound?”Wesson believed that he was already sincere enough to be this humble.His actions instantly made the beautiful women freeze.They didn’t
Despite that, it was nothing but Wesson’s impulsive thoughts.He knew the law enforcement squad outside would never give him any respect if he decided to fight. As a member of Longmen, he knew just how the law enforcement squad did things.If his own uncle wouldn’t dare protect him, every single crime he committed would be dug up one by one.The law enforcement hall would deal with every single crime accordingly; he’d suffer a horrible death if that actually happened.Of course, there was something important: Bryce being scared off that easily was proof of Harvey’s powerful authority.Wesson wouldn’t be able to go against someone like that, even if he tried for the rest of his life.Without a second thought, he took a deep breath and slowly stood up, forcing himself to bend his knees.Even so, the last bit of his pride wouldn’t allow him to do such a thing.“Kneel, or get out of here already. I don’t have time to play with you,” Harvey said.Kali wanted to say something after
When Wesson and the others fled, Harvey casually sat in front of Kali.Ernie froze for a moment, before waving his hand for someone to send over some tea.“Thank you for helping me again, Sir York.”Kali seemed anxious and embarrassed when looking at Harvey.“Wesson’s a tough one to deal with. You’re powerful, but… This might cause you more trouble.”Harvey shook his head, smiling.“It’s nothing. I can deal with him however many times I want to. If he’s smart, he’ll know not to go against you or me from now on.”Kali didn’t know what to say after hearing Harvey’s determined words.Naturally, she could tell that Harvey had an impressive identity. But she was a smart woman; she wouldn’t speak up about it if Harvey didn’t want to.After casually having some tea while chatting with each other, Harvey encouraged Kali to deal with the situation here before leaving the place.He didn’t express any opinion when Kali gave thoughts about strengthening Longmen’s outskirts branch. After
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
