“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 waved his hand, signaling Kali to send two more cups of tea. A cup was set in front of Amos.Harvey wasn’t fond of Amos. There was simply no point in fighting against a dying man, anyway.Amos slowly sipped his tea to calm his shock. He then looked deep into Harvey’s eyes.“What would you do to deal with a situation like this?”Amos showed a profound gaze, determined to see through Harvey’s every thought.“Simple.”Harvey shrugged.“Cripple your training. Start over. Don’t forget to not train in two different martial arts at once. Just pick one.“Either that, or you combine both energies into one. You’d need to invent a brand-new martial art with the fundamentals of the two you already learned, though. “Not only would that calm your energies, it’d take your skills to the next level. It might seem pretty difficult for you, however…”Harvey looked at Amos bitterly. “Either I cripple myself, or I combine my energies…”Amos let out a sigh.“You’re a smart man. You sho
Amos nodded at Harvey, then politely put his name card on the table before leaving with the others. He didn’t take away the gifts he brought over, either.“Is Amos’s condition really as bad as you say, Young Master?”When Amos and the others left, Dorian came out from the side wearing a janitor’s uniform and a face mask. People not paying attention wouldn’t even recognize him in the first place.Harvey sipped his tea with a smile.“If I exaggerate things, Amos would think I’m mediocre. If I undermine his condition, he wouldn’t be as shocked either. That was why everything I said was nothing but the truth.”Dorian frowned. “What if he actually showed you his secret martial arts? Would you help him, then?”“What’s wrong with selling a favor to the Smalt Sect? I’ve had a conflict with them, but it’s not like it can’t be fixed. If he hands me the seven beads and promises not to interfere with the outskirts’ affairs, so what if I help him?After all, balance is important.“It’s a sh
Ten o’clock at night, at the outskirts’ top people’s hospital…Harvey showed up at the ICU. Visiting Quincy’s room, he glanced through the door crack before leaving again.With Justin, Prince, and Layne’s help, she’d be able to survive despite not being able to fully recover.Judging from Neil’s attitude, Harvey wouldn’t be able to do anything unless the former gave in. If he still refused, Harvey wouldn’t want to cause trouble for himself either.Harvey went to a different building after leaving Quincy.There weren’t a lot of medical staff in the middle of the night. Other than a few doctors focusing on their monitors in the duty room, only the nurse’s desk and dim lights were seen.Right when Harvey was about to wake up the nurse who was dozing off, his eyes narrowed. He instinctively looked at the shadow on the side.The elevator lit up before the doors opened, and a figure with a black hoodie appeared soon after.The figure’s face was covered by a black face mask. Other tha
Before Harvey could do anything, the black figure instantly kicked the door open.He unleashed the Rainstorm Needles without even batting an eye at the people around him.Emil, who was lying on the bed, completely paralyzed, shivered before tilting his head to the side. No signs of life were seen on him any longer.The figure turned around, planning to leave.Right at this moment, a few Mutants in the room charged out after hearing about the attack.They instantly activated their abilities; some had their entire bodies turned green and gain immense strength. Some could shoot spider webs from the tip of their fingers, laced with deadly venom. Others could even control fire, as if they were actual wizards and witches.“Useless tricks!”The figure chuckled coldly, then waved his hand around; hidden weapons flew around the room, and two more Mutants fell to the ground. Scars could be seen on him.The figure pressed the railing of the balcony and flipped, landing on the floor below
The man’s pupils shrunk; he didn’t expect his Rainstorm Needles would miss. Before he said anything, Harvey casually plucked a needle off the wall and flicked his finger.Pfft!The needle went straight into the man’s chest.His body froze in disbelief when he saw this. He stumbled back before falling to the ground, and dark blood seeped out of his mouth.He raised his head to look at Harvey with a horrible expression. He didn’t understand why he’d be so powerless against Harvey.Harvey took a step forward and kicked the man down, then poked the man’s heart with the tip of his toes to prevent the venom from seeping in.“You’re pretty good, but I can still tell that you’re from the Smalt Sect no matter how much you try to hide it. Did Amos or Stefan send you?”The man’s eyes twitched after realizing that his identity was exposed that easily.“Enough talk, you bastard!” he exclaimed, glaring coldly at Harvey, having no intention of backing down.“Kill me if you dare! Let me tell
“Young Master!”When Amos was reading his book again, Elaine quickly approached him. She set down a cup of tea beside Amos before speaking up.“It’s arranged, Young Master! The hospital sent word! Emil’s dead! It’s done neatly, too!“The injuries on him were caused by Rainstorm Needles. Longmen’s outskirts branch is the only force that could acquire those weapons publicly!”There were other hidden sources who could get their hands on the weapon, but that wouldn’t be enough to serve as proof.Amos’s hand twitched lightly, and he revealed a surprised gaze. “You’re sure he’s dead? He died to the Rainstorm Needles?”“I’m sure!”Elaine nodded. “Don’t forget! We have people of our own in the hospital as well! Not only did the forensic experts confirm that, the medical staff did too! Here are the pictures.”Elaine pulled out a picture on her phone.Amos took a few glances before nodding inwardly.“He should be dead. Henrik would never lose his cool if Emil didn’t die. And if he does
The next day, six o’clock in the morning.The Verdant Funeral Parlor seemed extremely cold then.For the people of Country H, the atmosphere was the best time to send someone off.According to the legends, people who were sent off at this time would be reincarnated quickly.No matter how conceited Henrik Higgs was, he was still a citizen of the country.After an autopsy was performed on his son overnight, he was sent to the funeral parlor.Not only did Henrik book the whole parlor, but he also announced he would spend an entire week handling his son’s funeral.And if the murderer were to show up and come clean, he would only kill the main perpetrator.That said, he would not mind slaughtering all of the outskirts if that did not happen.At the same time, rumors of Henrik’s comeback after twenty years spread throughout the country’s martial arts world.The mutants who would not dare publicly show their faces were also brought here.Eventually, those people would definitely fi
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
