“You all!”William Bell was shocked beyond belief.He genuinely could not believe that the friends that he trusted would use ways like this to force the truth out from him…“Quick, seize him!”A person from the Silvas ordered.At the next moment, William was in despair, his eyes shut tight and then jumped backward into the river.In his helplessness, this was his only choice. He did not have any other way out.After watching the whole video, Harvey York’s face had turned as dark as night.Bang!Harvey smashed a teacup beside him with his fist.The teacup made out of solid marble was actually shattered to smithereens by his fist, with the sound of clattering of the pieces on the ground.The murderous aura on Harvey had remained the same. At that moment, even the room felt like it had gotten colder.Harvey did not think that William would have something like this befell him after he had left Buckwood for the past three days.And to defend his grounds, William did not want to
On the next day.Harvey York had arrived at the Cloudes’ Media Company early in the morning.Harvey came to the office hall and saw Margie Cloude’s giant poster.Margie on the poster seemed gloriously radiant and charming, as if she were a goddess.“She’s just some family’s collateral relative. She was only a little-known on the internet during that time, not bad being able to get this far…“But selling out her own boyfriend, heheh…”Harvey looked at the poster closely and leaked out a smile as cold as ice.Yvonne Xavier on the side whispered, “CEO, I’ve set an appointment with Margie Cloude beforehand. It’s almost our turn.”“Oh, right,” Harvey said calmly.Since they were there for Margie, they should play by her rules. He was not in a rush anyway.Not long after, a receptionist walked over.“Mr. York, it’s your turn. Please come this way...”At the CEO’s office on the highest floor.A few security guards were stationed at the front door.After a thorough body search, H
“Impossible! This footage is fake! How could I possibly harm William Bell?!”Margie Cloude immediately denied the accusation.Harvey York leisurely stood up and said, “Right, I’ll be going then. Don’t regret it!”“Hold on, tell me what you want?!” Margie immediately asked.“What’s the point of me admitting that I did do it anyway?“You’re no better yourself! You don’t give footage like this to the police, but instead you try to blackmail me with this. You’re not a good person either!”Naturally, in her eyes, Harvey was already prepared to use the footage to threaten and blackmail her.She barely realized that Harvey only wanted to toy with her and let her taste the pain and helplessness that William suffered before he died.“One price, one hundred and fifty million dollars!” Harvey said with a smirk on his face.“What? One hundred and fifty million? You are mad! Why don’t you blackmail the Silvas instead?!” Margie screamed furiously.Harvey chuckled and said, “The Silvas have
“Could the footage possibly be fake…?”Jonathan Maxwell was the first to ask. He found it to be a bit unbelievable since there were quite a number of fabricated incidents as of late.Margie Cloude frowned and said, “I thought so from the beginning, but I repeatedly checked the footage while I was waiting for you all. It’s definitely real.”“So, that means once this footage gets out there, we’ll all be exposed?” The most timid one out of the three, Tommy Ray said with a frown at that moment.The last one named Ted Dunn nodded and said, “It’s not that big of a deal if we get exposed.“The problem is, if we did get exposed, so will the Silvas.“The Silvas would definitely end us for their family’s reputation. How could you all not know what kind of man Prince Silva actually is?”Jonathan frowned and said, “What do we do now?”Margie said helplessly, “That’s why I called you all here. Did you think I’d just invite you for no reason?”“There’s not many ways of dealing with this. Ei
Once everything was prepared, Margie Cloude did not anxiously call Harvey York in a hurry. She knew that being hasty would not get her anywhere.When the time was almost ripe—it was almost ten o’clock, she then gave Harvey a call.“Mr. York, I’ve prepared the money but these are all in cash. It’s quite inconvenient to bring it around.“I’ll give you the address of a private club. Remember, you must bring the original copy of the video here, and you have to promise that there are no other copies!“If not, I won’t hand you the money!”Margie sounded like she did not trust Harvey, but that all could be acted out—everything would seem more realistic.Harvey agreed to her terms.“Sure, wait for me there. I’ll see you in a bit.”After a moment, Margie sent Harvey the location through her phone.It was a private clubhouse, she had paid for the whole place at that time. All four of them were present.Because the chosen place did not have any relations to any of them.Picking a place
“That’s right! Give us the original footage, or we’ll break your legs and then we’ll kill you!” Ted Dunn threatened.Naturally, their own interests were being threatened by this incident, hence why those people were acting as one.Harvey York’s smile on his face started to turn colder and clapped his hands.“Not bad, this is interesting. So William Bell was threatened and bribed into submission like this by you people back then?“And you’re trying to send me to see him?”Margie Cloude coldly said, “Harvey, we’re giving you a chance. If we can take out the filth, then we can take you out too!”“I’m so scared!” Harvey said mockingly.“Since I’m so scared, I didn’t bring the original footage here. Instead, I let another person bring it for me, he’s about to arrive.”“What? You didn’t bring it with you?”Margie and the others were shocked. They took everything into account, but not the fact that Harvey would not bring the original footage with him.“Whatever, just kill him for no
“Are you all taking this matter too lightly? You bring in five so-called killers from a gang to kill my CEO? Are you even kidding me?”Tyson Woods raised his head and stared at Margie Cloude and the others.A gang boss on his own turf would have a certain bearing.After he spoke, he sent shivers up the spines of Margie Cloude and the others.Margie and the others were quivering while shifting their gaze simultaneously toward Tommy Ray .He was the one that hired the killers, but who knew that they would be finished off this easily?Tommy then helplessly said, “I relied on so many connections to even find the killers from gangs. Who knew they were this weak?!“Besides, even if they were strong, how would they even be useful in a situation like this?!“You’re the one to blame. I really wanted to just hand the money and be done with it! What are we supposed to do now?!”Margie looked at the worthless sack of trash that was Tommy and Jonathan Maxwell along with Ted Dunn shivering
On the next day.At the Silva Manor, a coffin was sent to the front entrance and wreathes were decorated around it.The area around the Silva Manor belonged to the Silvas, that was why nobody else was alarmed.But the Silvas soon knew.The Silvas were a traditional and ancient family, things like this were taboo for the family.Soon after the information was passed down, Leon Silva that was doing his morning practice had gotten the news.He took a bath leisurely, then dressed in a suit and came to the front entrance.A throng of people were crowded at the front entrance of the Silva Manor at that moment; everyone in the family was showing faces as dark as night, especially the elderly. They had almost fainted in a fit of rage.But what was inside it? Who even knew about this?“Who sent this? Does anyone know?”Leon slightly frowned. He was not scared of things like this, but he still felt that it was ominous.The most important part was that it had been years, even the Yorks
Harvey smiled. "It's fine. But you do have to give me an explanation. Of course, if you can't, I'll get one myself."After that, Harvey could not be bothered with the same topic. He looked at the stone door and asked, "Why don't you introduce this to me?"Neve was slightly taken aback but still answered, "You know that Grand City does not belong in this world. In short, it exists in its own pocket dimension. It was said that Grand City's creator created this pocket dimension after he had achieved unison with Nature and before he stepped into the void."This is one of the few entrances into the Grand City, but it's the only entrance that everyone from the city can use. If you have the city's entry pass, then you can freely travel in and out. Of course, if your ancestry is rooted in Grand City, you can also use it."Harvey nodded. He was quite curious… When one reached the end of the path of martial arts and reached unity between man and nature, would one have this kind of power? Cou
No matter how Harvey looked at Vaida, he could tell she was no ordinary warrior. Her decisiveness and style proved to him that she was highly experienced in battles. He could even see some signs of her being in the military.Harvey was even more curious about Vaida's identity when he thought of that.But he knew it was not the time to think about such things. Harvey picked up a gun from the ground amidst the chaos and started to aim and shoot in front of him.If Vaida's attacks were all about affecting a wide area, then Harvey's attacks were all about accuracy. While he looked casual, whenever he pulled the trigger, an enemy would flop in a crumpled mess after each shot. The long-haired man could only watch with a dark expression.Despite bringing along an army of assassins with heavy firepower, his forces were being decimated."Darn it…!" The long-haired man let out a roar. "Deploy the heavy weapons!"Before he could finish yelling, he shuddered. There was disbelief in his eyes.
After eliminating Ruins and Ashes, Harvey did not waste another second, slammed his foot into a table, and sent it flying with a smile. Contrary to everyone's expectation, he did not leave the fire escape. Instead, he jumped out of a window and immediately ruined the long-haired man's plans.However, it was obvious that there were guards outside the window as well. As soon as they saw Harvey appear, the armed men were only slightly stunned before they aimed their guns at Harvey and pulled their triggers.Harvey immediately side-stepped, grabbed the fire extinguisher the cafe prepared for an emergency, and started spraying it all around him. Half the street was instantly covered in white as the bullets missed their marks, but several tourists who did not manage to escape in time were hit. The tourists cried, and it simply made the assassins even more aggressive.In just a short while, all these people would lose their lives.Harvey's eyes turned cold when he realized how nonchalant
However, before the Islander woman could swing her sword down, she could feel a sharp pain on her throat as a red dot appeared. Then, she could even feel all her strength disappear. She collapsed to the ground in disbelief, unable to make a sound. It was obvious that this woman could not understand how she was killed even moments before she died.The waiters and tourists only realized what was happening when they saw this moment. They screamed as they quickly ran toward the exits, throwing the entire Lucky Café into chaos. Harvey ignored all the chaos, picked up the sword from the woman's hand, and continued walking with a calm expression. At this time, a long-robed man and woman walked toward him among the crowds. Both of them looked quite strange. The man was missing an ear, while the woman was missing an eye. However, their energy signatures were terrifying, and they seemed very powerful."It's the Golden Triangle's assassin duo, Ruins and Ashes!""I heard the two could even de
While Hyperborea was a small city, as it was located on the nape of Snowdrake Mountain, it was also one of the most famous tourist cities in the country. Around 30 million travelers came to Hyperborea throughout the year, enriching their economies. However, it was somewhat difficult to manage the city.More than 90 percent of the population here came from other cities. So, it was going to be difficult to find anything about anyone.Besides being a tourist city, Hyperborea was also a location where people from all walks of life congregate.Harvey glanced around as he sat in the corner. He noticed that other than travelers, most of the people here were foreigners who spoke with foreign accents. Many of them carried firearms in secret, and some were obviously trained in martial arts. This place was destined to be different from other cities.While it was a tourist city on the surface, this place hid an entire underworld.'No wonder Grand City set its entrance in a place like this. It
After what Vaida had said, Harvey had no choice but to unlock the door. However, when Vaida glanced at the rear-view mirror, she said, "You get down!"Harvey had no choice but to shrug when being aimed with the repeating crossbow and got out of the driver's seat. Vaida quickly drove on the mechanic's truck and left like the wind. Shortly, several Toyota Prados appeared once more and headed straight toward the truck.Harvey looked at the scene and narrowed his eyes, seeming to be in deep thought. Then, he pulled out his mobile and dialed Geoffrey's personal number.When Geoffrey answered the call, he curiously asked, "What is it, friend?"Harvey replied with a smile. "Hello, Geoffrey. I'm supposed to be the mayor of Grand City, but the second I've arrived in Hyperborea, assassins are already here to kill me. And the person who wants to kill you and me is the same person.""You're in Hyperborea?" Geoffrey's voice became tense. "Who's the one who wants to kill you?""Ellena," stated
But just because Harvey was knowledgeable, it did not help. Several other plateless Toyota Prados drove in. All the windows from the passenger's side had been rolled down, showing individuals wearing military uniforms with heavy weapons in their hands.Harvey cursed as he immediately scouted around, thinking what he could use at a time like this.Vaida gave Harvey a look and showed off the repeating crossbow in her hand, then she quickly aimed and pulled the trigger.Whoosh!Silver bolts of light were fired at the cars, immediately piercing the Toyota Prados drivers. Then, there was an explosion. The Prados instantly turned into balls of fire as the vehicles were blown up.Harvey clicked his tongue. "These must be the legendary Thunderblasts. These are nice… They are more powerful than your usual weapons."Vaida coldly exclaimed, "Stop wasting your breath and start driving!"Harvey smiled and immediately hopped into the mechanic's truck and rammed through the chain fence surroun
Just when Harvey did not know how to respond, Vaida suddenly walked into the cockpit from behind. First, she glared at Harvey, then responded with Ellena's solemn voice. "It's done."When the person heard this voice, it was obvious that the man heaved a sigh of relief. "Land the plane on the last runway near the edge, then retreat immediately. Remember, don't leave any unfinished business behind. Our conversation is over." Then, the tone became engaged before it was completely cut off.Meanwhile, Harvey quickly took control of the plane's yoke and landed the plane successfully on the runway. The plane landed successfully. However, with one look outside, he suddenly frowned and said, "Something's not right. Go!"Then, Harvey dragged Vaida along with him and ran to the plane's emergency door. He opened the door and immediately jumped out.At this time, all the passengers in the first-class cabin finally got hold of themselves and started screaming and yelling. Instantaneously, the en
All the other passengers could only watch the sudden turn of events with mouths agape. It was as if they could not believe just how terrifying Vaida was. Even Harvey narrowed his eyes. He already knew that Vaida was a powerful martial artist and one that was close to losing control. But only now did he realize that the woman was trained in the legendary Basilisk Palm.It was a unique martial art from the tribes. While it was not exceptionally powerful, it was extremely venomous. Just one strike could make an elite like Ellena from Servitas lose power and control of her body, explaining just how terrifying this technique was.Before Harvey could say anything, Vaida had already picked up the revolver on the ground and immediately fired at her arms and legs. Then, she dislocated Ellena's jaw, making sure that Ellena could not kill herself no matter what.Vaida's directness made Ellena's eyes filled with rage. She could not believe that she still lost despite being in a situation wher
