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
Douglas Higgs did not seem too troubled, judging from his demeanor.“No need for all that trouble, Ms. Elaine,” he replied calmingly, with a cold tone.“I know everyone my brother met after he came here. I also know everything that has happened.“You already lost Ms. Xyla for my brother. She’s still locked behind bars even now.“We, the people from Chinatown, aren’t unreasonable either.“We won’t blame the Smalt Sect for this.“As for my brother’s assassination, there’s no need for further proof.“He was killed by Rainstorm Needles.“In the outskirts, the only organization that could publicly acquire the weapon is Longmen itself.“Other than that, surveillance footage revealed that Harvey was at the hospital last night.“The truth is already out.“Someone told me Harvey must have an immense identity in Longmen…“But I don’t care who he is! Since he killed my brother…“He’ll pay even if he’s the young master himself!”Douglas looked cold despite his calm demeanor.His gaz
“The license represents the country’s special operating rights.“Not only can you open up businesses in the country, but you’d also get discounted for taxes.“Besides, the Smalt Sect even managed to get fifty legal firearm documents to ensure your benefits.“I do hope you’ll be happy with this.“Please, calm down while you still can!”Elaine Garcia waved her hand before someone brought over a folder. Then, she respectfully handed the folder to Douglas Higgs.Everyone seemed extremely confused when seeing the sight.The fierce Americans showed passion in their eyes.Even Douglas started to hyperventilate.Chinatown may seem impressive, but to the higher-ups of America, they were only second-rated.After all, the people of Chinatown were not full-blooded Americans.If it had not been for expert martial artists like Henrik Higgs controlling the place, the citizens of Country H would have been in a worse spot.A capitalist country like America would only be respected with subst
