Inside the main hall.Many people in gray robes were gathered together. They looked as if they were waiting for something.As soon as Harvey showed up, the people who were pretending to sip tea instantly shivered and almost sprung off their seats.Harvey looked curiously at these people.He realized that the bustling hall was completely empty; he wasn’t sure if this was intentional or not, either.If it weren’t for the people in gray robes, he would’ve thought that he was in an empty city.The people in gray robes came over. The robes looked the exact same as the one Paislee wore in the Hunt family’s residence. It was clear that they were from the House of Priests.The people stood in front of Harvey. A tall and handsome man sized him up. “You’re Harvey?” he demanded fiercely.“What’s the point of asking me that when you came all the way here for me? What? Are you treating me to a midnight snack or something?”“A midnight snack?”The man showed disdain as he looked down on
Swoosh!The people in gray robes instantly pounced over, prepared to take on Harvey.Frantic footsteps were heard soon after. A woman’s cold voice echoed.“I was wondering who’s causing this much of a ruckus in a five-star hotel! You’re from the House of Priests!“What? Do you think you’re kings of the world just because you have Kurbus under your control?“I am Charlotte Padget! As long as I’m here, no one from the sacred martial arts training grounds is allowed to cross the line!”A dozen people in uniforms came forward.A woman in a white uniform with a ponytail stood in front with her sword in hand. She looked like she was in her twenties, and her expression was gentle, but her aura was nothing short of heroic.It was clear that she was from a sacred martial arts training ground as well. An aura like that wouldn’t be obtainable without generations of cultivation.“Charlotte Padget?”The man’s expression changed.“You’re in charge of enforcing the law at the martial arts
Arlan glared coldly at Charlotte, then smiled.“Why don’t we make this quick, Sir York?“Grovel as an apology right now, and I’ll just send a recording to Paislee!“You should thank Ms. Charlotte! If it weren’t for her, you wouldn’t be able to get such an opportunity in the first place!”Naturally, Arlan was quite unhappy with Charlotte’s sudden appearance. Not only was he planning on crushing Harvey’s pride, he wanted to crush Charlotte’s as well.Charlotte’s expression darkened instantly.“You want me to grovel and be recorded?” Harvey asked calmly. “You think you have the right for me to even do that?”“What’s with the attitude, kid?”Arlan’s cold gaze was filled with murderous intent.“If you don’t know just how impressive the House of Priests is, just ask the nosy bastard herself!“If I actually want you dead… I wouldn’t even need to wait!”Charlotte could sense the intent in Arlan’s words; she hesitated for a moment before coming beside Harvey.“Mr. York, I don’t know
“I was in a good mood, and I was planning to have some rest in my room…” Harvey said.“But you just had to come at me.“You can leave.“But at least pay for my mental loss fee“Kneel, apologize, then pay me 1.5 million dollars. If you don’t, then don’t even think of leaving.”‘He’s crazy! He’s completely insane! How does he say something like that? He’s just filth whose destiny is to be crushed!’After their initial shock, the people from the House of Priests showed playful expressions.‘We’ve seen a lot of reckless people already… But not to this extent!’“Good! Good!”Arlan froze for a moment before breaking into an icy smile.“It’s my first time seeing someone this impressive after so long!“It’s not that I don’t respect you, Ms. Charlotte! He just wants to die is all!”Arlan chuckled.“Kill him!”The people in gray robes cracked their necks before stepping forward.Bam, bam, bam!Gunshots were heard; two instantly fell to the ground, paralyzed. They were filled with
“The House of Priests will give you an explanation for the Lycan Pill, Mr. Yousef…”Arlan gritted his teeth for a moment, then sank into a deep bow.“We’ll put aside the family’s business for now.“However, you’ll have to deal with Sir York’s problem first. Kneel, apologize, then pay 1.5 million to Sir York!”The crowd’s eyes twitched.It was clear that to pamper Harvey and to make up for what happened… Yousef was dead set on standing up for Harvey.Charlotte showed an odd expression.The Hunt family wasn’t a sacred martial arts training ground, but the leader of the five hidden families. They had nothing to fear in a place like Wolsing.However, going against the House of Priests for the sake of Harvey was simply absurd.Arlan’s expression darkened.“Mr. Yousef, the House of Priests…”Slap!“Did I not make myself clear?” Yousef yelled. Arlan stumbled back, showing disbelief. “Mr. Yousef, we’ll give you an explanation for this. We…”Slap!Yousef slapped Arlan again. “I
“You’re crossing the line, Harvey!”Arlan stumbled off the ground with a vengeful expression.“You think you can hold me down just because you have the Hunt family’s support? I’ll just drag you down with me if I want to!”Bam!Harvey instantly kicked Arlan down. “Do it, then!”Yousef glowered at Arlan. “Try it!”‘That bastard! He’s using someone else’s strength! He’s just scaring me, is all!’Arlan felt utterly resentful.He really wanted to take out Harvey right there and then—but he knew that he’d die as well if he tried.He came here to join the martial arts tournament! He came to Wolsing to make a name for himself!He only caused trouble to Harvey to stand up for his junior and earn his position as the young master, then marry his senior before reaching the pinnacle of his life.He wouldn’t want to die here!Besides, Arlan wasn’t just an ordinary person either; he could tell that the fierce men in suits were the same. Not only were they expert martial artists, they were
Harvey squinted, glaring coldly at Arlan.He wouldn’t care if Arlan were to know his limits.But if that wasn’t the case…After seeing Arlan and the others stumble out of the hall, Charlotte looked strangely at Harvey.“Again…“If you get into trouble, you can call me as long as people participating in the martial arts tournament are involved.“I suggest you leave Wolsing as well. After all… Arlan’s quite the infamous madman in the House of Priests.”Harvey smiled as he looked at Charlotte.“Thank you for that, Ms. Charlotte. If you need me, you can call me as well!”Harvey handed her his name card.Charlotte froze; she believed that Harvey was only doing this because of his pride as a man. She couldn’t bear to refuse, and only left after taking the name card.Only Harvey and Yousef were left.Yousef came over with a fawning look.“Arlan is indeed insane, Sir York. I heard he’s gone too far because of his pursuit towards Paislee.“It’d be troubling to be remembered by suc
Bam!Before Harvey even finished his words, Yousef suddenly slammed his knees to the ground.“The Hunt family did not forget what you said, Sir York!” he exclaimed while gritting his teeth, ignoring everyone else around him.“The master wanted to be the one to beg for your help…“But he simply couldn’t leave the old lady!“He said that as long as you’re willing to lend aid, the family will owe you a favor no matter if you succeed or not!“The family will all kneel to greet you as well…”-Half an hour later, Harvey arrived at the Hunt family’s manor.Before coming here, he made it clear that he didn’t want the family to kneel as a greeting. After all, the people had already humbled themselves enough.Besides, Harvey wasn’t confident enough to deal with the old lady’s current situation anyway.Yousef quickly took Harvey inside the manor; he was on a call while he explained the situation to Harvey.“Something happened when I went to fetch you, Sir York.“The old lady suddenl
