Serval’s eyes twitched after hearing Dorian’s words.He planned to go all out, but after reminding himself of Dorian’s fearsome attacks, he forced himself to calm down by taking a deep breath.“Rumors said that twenty years ago, you were the second top talent of Longmen’s younger generation. Ordinary people are no match against you. This time, I admit defeat.“However, things won’t end this way!”Serval needed to talk big to quell his resentment.Swoosh!The sword shimmered in the air, and Serval’s body trembled. A scar appeared on his chest, and blood splattered everywhere. He coughed out more blood, stumbling back with a pale face.If he didn’t react to the attack quickly enough, he would’ve been dead!Serval didn’t dare provoke Dorian with his words anymore.He took a deep breath, wondering if he should get the Great Wall or his young master to take action…Anyone else wouldn’t be able to even scratch Dorian. He had been in hiding for twenty whole years; his strength was n
After Elaine was done beating up and scolding Serval…Serval spit out his blood before shifting his gaze towards Amos.“I was too weak, Young Master! I embarrassed the Smalt Sect! I’m sorry!“Not only did I keep failing, I lost the four Demon Monks as well! I even got the Eighteen Brazen hurt!“This is the biggest embarrassment to the sect in a thousand years! I’m willing to accept all punishment for this!“But I wasn’t just trying to survive! There’s something I should tell you!“Dorian was extremely respectful when he talked to Harvey. I suspect that Harvey must have some impressive identity!“We need to think twice before trying to assassinate or play tricks on him. Either we don’t do anything to him at all, or we make sure that he has no chance of retaliating.“As for Dorian, I’m afraid we’ll need a few Great Walls to take care of him. He’s too powerful.”“You want us to get the Great Walls?” Elaine exclaimed coldly.“Do you know what those people mean to the Smalt Sect?
“If word were to spread about this… Outside forces would consider us as weak. If that happens, then everyone would want a piece of the sect!”Thinking of Xyla’s situation and how the Smalt Sect being kept getting humiliated, Elaine’s pride was crushed.“The Smalt Sect naturally wouldn’t be scared of a man like Dorian…but there’s no need to give up on our thousand-year plan just for the sake of revenge.“You should understand the situation in the outskirts right now.“Even if we don’t talk about the Aenar Temple not siding with us, the Border Force, the top ten families, and the five hidden families… Harvey alone is enough to make our heads hurt.“If we can’t keep calm right now—if we’re still going to fight to the death because of this…“Dorian is nothing, but Longmen is standing behind him! Filth like Dorian is expendable. That was why we got Wesson to take action.“However, this made us realize that he’s been waiting for a chance to take revenge the entire time.“Longmen woul
Harvey didn’t know that Amos was making plans against him.After heading back to the No.1 villa, he looked curiously at Dorian in front of his seat. At the same time, he had a stack of documents about Dorian in his hand.The top talent of Longmen twenty years ago… Hiding and waiting for the longest time.Yet there was no information about Dorian’s swordsmanship, the thing that Harvey cared for the most.After casually flipping through the pages, Harvey handed Dorian a cup of tea with a smile. “You should be able to be the vice master of Longmen if you want to, Mr. Dorian. Why would you stay in a place like the outskirts?” he asked. “Young Master…” Dorian said after hesitating for a moment. “I stayed here because I knew Henrik would be back one day. I wasn’t able to deal with the traitor back then. I was soft. Now that he’s back, I must end the grudge myself.”Harvey froze.“Traitor? Can you start from the beginning? If I remember correctly, you and Henrik had a conflict becau
After a long moment of silence, Harvey finally spoke.“So you showed up today to sell me a favor… For me to spare Henrik?”Dorian’s body shivered, and he chuckled bitterly.“As expected of you, Young Master. It’s our first time seeing each other, but it doesn’t look like I can hide anything from you.“That’s right. After knowing who you are, I understood that Henrik’s comeback would be nothing but a joke.“However, he had his reasons for doing all this. I hope that you can give him a chance.”Harvey sighed.“I understand his pain…but no matter the case, betraying the country’s interests just simply isn’t allowed.“If he still respects the country when I see him, I’ll consider letting him go. But if he’s nothing but America’s lackey at that point…then he’s on his own.”Dorian’s expression kept changing for a moment. He held his arms together before walking to the balcony.Harvey didn’t say a word, and watched silently. He didn’t care about Henrik in the first place, but afte
“Young Master Amos,” he said casually. Harvey’s gaze was calm; he didn’t seem surprised by Amos’s appearance, nor did he show respect just because of the latter’s identity.“To be honest, it’s our first time seeing each other. My relationship with your sect isn’t exactly good, so just tell me what you want.“After all, it’s boring to beat around the bush for people like us… Don’t you think?”Amos smiled faintly. “How straightforward! As expected of you. I’m starting to regret not knowing you sooner.“It’s simple, really… I came to give you an explanation about last night.“Serval and the others caused you trouble, so I punished them and made them kneel in my courtyard.“This box is filled with the Smalt Sect’s treasures. It won’t be enough to compensate for what you went through, but it should be enough to show my sincerity.“I heard you’re well-versed in the art of killing. Not only are you good at killing, but you’re proficient at saving people as well.“I got hurt when I
“Is that so?”Harvey chuckled.“I heard the Nine Eyed Beads combined would grant everlasting life. I have the One and Nine Eyed-Bead. With the seven that you have, I’d have the full set.“I don’t have a lot of hobbies, but witnessing a miracle seems pretty nice.”Amos’s expression didn’t change; it seemed as if he had already foreseen the outcome.“Someone like you doesn’t believe in that, right?“If everlasting life is real, then why haven’t we seen anyone like that since the dawn of time? Even the founder of the Smalt Sect, the person who created the Nine Eyed Beads, passed away.“For the Smalt Sect, the Nine Eyed Beads are keepsakes.“Since you have two, then you should take good care of them. When you’re bored with them in the future, you’d be welcome to donate them!“As for things like everlasting life, it’s fine to just joke around with that…“But if you do actually believe in such a thing, you might get yourself fooled in the future! After all, even the strongest kings
“In the past, you could barely hold back the two energies since you weren’t a God of War yet.“But after you broke through, that changed. The two energies kept fighting, desperately trying to become one with your body.“Every time you try to suppress them, you’d waste a huge amount of stamina.“Despite your calm and impressive look… Once you lose control…”Harvey dropped his tea after that.The ground was immediately drenched, shards scattering all over. Amos’s eyes twitched after seeing that. “There’ll be a funeral for you.”Amos didn’t care about Harvey at first. With his background and history, he could crush someone like Harvey with ease.Yet, Harvey somehow revealed his biggest secret.He felt nothing but shock at this very moment.Even those closest to him didn’t know about this, but Harvey managed to see through it like it was nothing. Even his teacher from the Adenar Temple had no clue how to deal with the problem.Amos took a deep breath before smiling faintly. “
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
