“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
Two people entered. The person in front had his arms crossed, while the one in the back held a body bag that was constantly wriggling.After seeing the sight, the Mutants instantly approached to question the people, but they were instantly slapped aside.The Mutants were sent flying before they could even react to the situation.“Who’s causing trouble at my brother’s funeral?!” exclaimed Douglas Higgs after raising his head.“Do you want to die or something?!”Elaine thought of something before smirking faintly with her head lowered. Then, she gave a look at the monks behind her, signaling them not to make any moves no matter what.She smiled brightly after recognizing the people who entered.It was Harvey York!The strong Mutants looked at each other before charging forward with furious howls. Their skin instantly turned green as they grew in size. They instantly appeared in front of Harvey before throwing out punches the size of boulders.The Mutants could not be bothered to
The Mutants expressed their indignation after hearing those words.A few of them with shields also pulled out their small hammers with prideful expressions.It was clear that if the conversation went wrong, they would immediately beat Harvey York to a pulp.Elaine Garcia stepped forward as if she was trying to mediate the situation.“Sir York! Mr. Douglas! Calm yourselves! You need to stop!“This is a funeral parlor! This is where the dead come to rest!“No matter the case, you should show some respect to the Smalt Sect! Don’t start anything here, alright?“If there’s some sort of misunderstanding, the sect’s willing to mediate.”Elaine kept giving Harvey looks, as if she was willing to act as a peacemaker.“What? Are you insane?Harvey did not reciprocate the feeling at all.“Are you telling me I made an honest mistake by accidentally killing Emil?“Are you making me pay the price before burying the hatchet?”Elaine smiled. She did not expect Harvey to be this straightfor
“Fool you?Harvey York chuckled before glaring at Douglas Higgs as if he were a clown.“Even your subordinates are screaming at him, saying he’s the murderer.“Why are you still pretending then?!“Let me tell you something…“This is the man who killed your brother. You can compare his face and stature with the surveillance footage you have.“You can also check for his fingerprints from the remaining Rainstorm Needles.“You can even compare the scars of your dear brother with the needles.“Since you’re all talented people, it shouldn’t be hard to do all that, right?“In any case, I’ve already brought your brother’s killer along with evidence here…“I did everything I could at this point.“Even if you don’t treat me to a cup of tea, the least you can do is thank me.”Harvey smiled brightly.The Mutants looked at each other.Harvey’s explanation and the evidence he provided were more than enough to prove his innocence.“Right…Even before the Mutants could return to their
The Mutants glared at Harvey York with murderous intent after hearing Douglas Higgs’ remarks.Naturally, they would go all out if given the order.Harvey glanced at Douglas, who was looking righteous.“I’m sorry, but these are as real as it gets.“Do you think I fabricated all of it?“Do you think you people deserve this kind of treatment from me?“You don’t even have the right.”Everyone was dead silent.Harvey’s calm words were filled with nothing but disdain.The Mutants showed righteous fury, but at least they understood one thing.Harvey would not fabricate anything.Elaine Garcia’s expression changed.“You’re crossing the line, Harvey!“Not only don’t you have solid proof, you won’t even try to explain your situation!“This proves nothing but the fact that you’re guilty!“Apologize to Mr. Douglas and explain everything!“There’s still time to fix everything!“As long as you come clean, Mr. Douglas won’t make things more complicated for you!“You have Smalt Sect’
