“You’re marrying me to your daughter?!” Harvey exclaimed in shock. “Do you respect your daughter at all? She’ll come back to life just to spite you for this, you know?”“You…!”Andie was about to black out after the constant provoking. She didn’t think Harvey’s tongue would be so sharp.She panted heavily while pointing at him, then dialed some numbers on her phone.The other women looked at Harvey as if he was an idiot.‘How dare he anger Mrs. Andie like that? He must have a death wish!’Vroom!All of a sudden, a G-Wagon parked at the front door.The car had exuded a fearsome aura, as if it could ram anything in its path with ease.The door opened, and a few people came out. It was Stefan and his posse.Andie and the others froze after seeing that. However, they weren’t that surprised.Andie knew that Amos had come to the budokan before this. She didn’t care much for young talents like Stefan.Then, an old monk could be seen behind him.Andie’s eyes twitched, and she qu
“Aaah!”Andie and the others were shocked by Vaati’s words.This was a lot more shocking compared to him having the Smalt Sect’s badge.After all, only a person could confirm the authority of the badge.Judging from those words, Harvey had gained the support of a Great Wall.It didn’t matter if Harvey was actually strong or not. With Vaati on his side, he’d be completely invincible.Courtney had downplayed her situation to prevent herself from being too embarrassed. Because of that, Andie and the others believed that Harvey only got Amos’s support because he begged for it.Seeing this, everyone realize that not only did Harvey have Vaati’s support…but even the Great Wall himself respected him quite a bit.Andie went a little stiff after figuring that out. After all, this meant Harvey wasn’t to be trifled with.“Your help will not be forgotten, Sir York!” Stefan looked at Harvey with passionate eyes.“I’ll put your gift to good use! Don’t worry! When I rise to power, you’ll
Andie and the others left for the ICU of the people’s hospital, their heads hung low.Neil and Yasmin showed up as well. Their faces were grim as they looked into the sick room.Around ten minutes ago, Quincy’s condition worsened again; she let out a few mouthfuls of blood, and the energy inside her kept crashing into a few of her bones, breaking them in the process.Quincy wanted to struggle, but she simply wouldn’t dare; she had no choice but to hold onto the white blanket as she shivered in pain.It was a miserable sight; she looked as if she was about to die at any moment.“It’s okay. Your father’s here. It’s alright…”Neil wanted to hold onto his daughter’s hand, but he was afraid of her condition worsening.“I’ll find a way for you to recover! Believe me! You need to hold on!”Neil hesitated for a moment before looking at Courtney, who was standing not far away from him.“Will sedatives help with Quincy’s condition? She might exhaust herself completely if this keeps up,”
“We can only ask for Harvey’s help, right?”Andie exploded, showing unbridled rage.“I don’t care if that bastard’s actually capable, or if he’s just pretending! He’s too arrogant!“If anything happens to my daughter because he wouldn’t do anything to help, I’ll make sure that he…”Andie wanted to bury Harvey with Quincy, but she instinctively shivered after thinking back on Harvey’s words.Without her daughter’s permission, she’d come back to haunt her if she even went through with such a thing.“I know you’re embarrassed, Andie…“But even if that’s the case, now’s not the time to spout nonsense.“Harvey isn’t in the wrong in the first place! He was going to help, but you two kept stopping him from doing so. Not to mention, the insults that you’ve been dishing out towards him!”Despite being worried about Quincy, Yasmin decided to speak her mind.“We need an expert martial artist to solve the problem caused by the same profession, Neil!“If you still insist on hanging onto
Seeing Neil’s face worsen, Yasmin quickly spoke up.“You’re misunderstanding the situation, Neil! Sir York isn’t the kind of man who’d make things harder for others! It’s just that…”Andie instantly cut her off with a cold chuckle.“He’s not? You think this is a misunderstanding?“Yasmin! Do you think I’m that miserable of a person? You think I’d slander Harvey for no reason? Or are you saying I want my daughter to die?“You think I have a grudge against her or something? How ignorant can you get?!”Andie instinctively glared at her husband.Compared to gritting her teeth and kneeling in front of Harvey to save her daughter, she’d feel more joy in making Harvey kneel instead!Andie was confident.She believed no matter how strong Vaati was, he’d still have to pay his respect to Neil.The authority of the Desert Province Police Station’s second-in-command was not something that an ordinary man could even imagine.Neil showed a stern gaze after hearing his wife’s words.He be
Amos frowned.“What do you think Harvey did to cause all this? He turned me into his pawn?“These are all complicated plans…“Judging from Harvey’s behavior, he wouldn’t waste all this effort in the first place. Every time he took action, it’d always make a huge impact, despite how casual he is.The figure played around with a chess piece for a long time.“If I guess correctly, Harvey must’ve given Stefan the Smalt Sect’s badge.”Amos shivered, then let out a long sigh.“Thank you, Lord Roue. I didn’t realize that at all!“I only saw the benefits that come with the badge, but I didn’t think Harvey wouldn’t even care for such things in the first place.“He gave Stefan the badge so he could stab me in the back at the most crucial moment!“What a move!“It’s a shame Vaati ruined his mighty plan just by visiting him. Harvey must be furious by now.”“Probably not. After all, since Vaati didn’t go against Harvey, it must mean that he needs the badge as well.“After all, from a c
Roue chuckled.“Not exactly. The difficulty depends on your resolution.”“What do you mean by that?” Amos asked, still frowning. “If, say… Someone Vaati deeply cares about dies in Harvey’s hands… Would the Aenar Temple remain friends with him?” Roue said, smiling mysteriously.“Someone Vaati cares about…? Does he have a woman or something?”Amos showed a curious expression.“Let’s think outside the box, Young Master.”Roue seemed quite relaxed.“Why can’t a man be the person he cares about the most? Everyone says that Stefan is his child. If he dies, do you think Vaati would remain this calm?”Amos scowled. “There’s a huge risk in that. If he finds out that I started this… He’ll fight me with everything he’s got. This plan won’t do. Let’s think of something safer.”“There’s no time, Young Master.“I can only tell you this. You need to be ruthless to stand your ground. The outskirts’ situation isn’t good for you right now.“If you’re still going to be this paranoid… You’d b
Harvey froze, then smiled. “You’re too humble. As a consul, your schemes and combat prowess should be no less than outstanding. Without any proper defenses, even Amos wouldn’t be a match against you, right?”Stefan shook his head.“You know me, Sir York.“I don’t want to hear things like this. I want to win without a shadow of a doubt! I can only go all out if I have better odds at winning against Amos!“I know that with your strength, I’ll definitely achieve that.“Besides, you don’t have anything to lose in the situation, right?”Harvey was impressed by Stefan’s honesty. It’d be better to show his sincerity by not hiding anything.Harvey pondered for a moment, looking at Stefan with narrowed eyes. Stefan was holding his emotions back despite his wild ambition.“Since we’re here already…” he said with a smile. “Let me give you something.”Harvey scribbled on a piece of paper for a long time before handing it over.“These are Amos’s weak spots. Simply put, they’re what’s ke
