“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
