Half an hour later, Antonio was dragged away in a terrible state. All his so-called martial arts experts had been captured as well.No one could have expected that the scion of Star Financial Group, Antonio, would disappear in the pages of history so easily.As compensation for what happened, May had properly apologized and even sent Harvey to one of the classical-styled estates owned by the conglomerate.The estate was a personal estate of the owner of the Star Financial Group. However, May offered it to Harvey as a gift without thinking twice despite not being her own.Harvey wasn't very particular when it came to his accommodation.However, the estate was in a quieter area within the first ring of the city. Not only was it closer to Wolsing's city center, but most important was the fact that the surroundings nearby were quite tranquil. It was as if they wanted to find a place of solitude in the bustling city.Thinking that he couldn't live in a hotel long-term, Harvey gave it
Hector merely smiled coldly at Hannah. "Don't tell me you're going to personally forge this alliance of ours by marrying me?"Hannah froze a little before chuckling. "I don't see a problem with that."As long as you're ambitious and bold enough, I can agree to your proposal. But the problem is… Are you?"Hector noted the tease in Hannah's tone, and scoffed. "A friend's wife is off-limits."While he was one of the Four Young Masters of Wolsing, he was ranked last among the four.Hannah was the fiancee of another member of the Four Young Masters of Wolsing. There was no need for him to gain such a powerful enemy over a woman.When Hannah heard what Hector said, she grinned. "Someone like you care about that?"The edge of Hector's mouth twitched as he said, "That man is a very close friend of mine. We're like brothers."If I do have my sights set on you, he'll personally kill me."And from my calculation, he has more than a 60% chance of killing me."If I have so little chance o
Hector narrowed his eyes as he listened to Hannah.What Harvey did yesterday not only humiliated him, but had completely demolished whatever dignity he had. Otherwise, he wouldn't use Antonio to go against Harvey.But…After giving it a thought, Hector decided to be truthful. "What's happening right now is already somewhat out of my control. The family already knew that the Sutra of Nourishment's content had been leaked."However, no one believed that Harvey had already known the content beforehand."So, the most probable reason is that one of the branches of the Thompson family had a turncoat and leaked the content to him."Our family will make a full investigation regarding this."As soon as we find out what happened, there will be a time when we will settle our score."Hannah smiled silently as she heard this, and said nothing else.Hector also remained silent, and let the van drive into the dark alleyway.The next morning, Harvey was having his breakfast at the estate w
Harvey didn't want to get involved with the Sacred Martial Arts Training Ground just yet.It wasn't because he was afraid of them.Rather, it was because the Country H Martial Arts Alliance had just become one of the five great directors of the World Martial Arts Alliance. If they were to start infighting at this time, it wouldn't do any good for the Country H Martial Arts Alliance. Instead, it would greatly damage their reputation.That was why Harvey didn't start any trouble with the Country H Martial Arts Alliance, even when they didn't inform him that they were organizing the martial arts tournament in Wolsing.However, Harvey didn't mind. He simply cared about the big picture.But from the looks of it, his inaction became a show of weakness in some of their eyes."Alright. Let's go to the scene of the crime. We need some evidence when we start to make some noise, don't you think?" Harvey said.After giving it a thought, he stood up. Yvonne nodded slightly; she walked ou
Harvey knew very well that, right now, he was Sky Corporation's boss in name only.Other than some major decisions, all the other executive decisions were done by Yvonne and Ray together.However, if their opponents were to make a strike and take out either Yvonne or Ray…It wasn't a loss Harvey was willing to bear right now.Yvonne could feel the concern from Harvey, and nodded gently. "Don't worry."I'll be more cautious from now on and prepare more manpower."I'll also ask Tyson and George to work together. Especially once George is here, we can seize the initiative when it comes to information."Harvey nodded. "Once George is here, tell him to put all his efforts into finding out who else is making their moves against us other than Hummingbar."While Sky Corporation always walked the path of a king, I don't mind walking the path of a tyrant if someone decides to make such an ignorant move."Harvey's eyes flashed. "Right. There's something else you need to bear in mind abou
'The fire's already extinguished. Why is there still a crowd?'The thought had only crossed Harvey's mind, and he instantly noticed what was wrong with this place.The next moment, Harvey immediately picked Yvonne up by the waist and shoved her back into the van. At the same time, he threw the car key inside as well and told her to lock the car up.The security members inside the other vans had just wanted to rush out, but Harvey stopped them with a hand signal and gestured to them to start the car and leave.At that moment, whether it was the crowd or the firefighters that were scattering, the crowd all turned and looked at Harvey.While they had no guns in their hands, all of them had a repeating crossbow in their hands, a blue glow surrounding the tip of the bolt. They aimed at Harvey, and pulled the trigger.Harvey's expression darkened as he faced the bolts coming his way.Few people would dare to use firearms in Wolsing. That would attract the attention of the Captain Gene
There was only calmness in Harvey's eyes.The moment the red bolts were released, Harvey swung his left arm, and the jacket he removed was thrown out into the air. The jacket wrapped itself around one of the red bolts.In the next instance, the red bolt instantly exploded. It caused a chain reaction and all the bolts exploded in midair.There was a scream.Red flames rained down from above, and some of them fell on the assassins.A few of them were in so much pain that they twitched and struggled on the ground. After a short moment, they stopped breathing."Banefire!" Harvey said when he saw what was happening before him.The so-called Banefire is a unique type of flame that the martial arts world concocted. It would keep on burning once it came in contact with human flesh, and it wouldn't even extinguish when water was doused on it.Those who were hit will die in pain.Something like this was forbidden in both the martial arts world and the underworld. Even if it appeared in
The moment Harvey followed him into the fire exit, there was an explosion coming from on top of him. A gray mist immediately descended upon him.It was obvious that a trap had already been laid here. This was one of the escape routes the assassin had planned.However, Harvey slammed the fire alarm next to him with a calm expression.The sprinklers above him instantly activated, and the water from the sprinklers dispersed the gray mist.The assassin made a cold smile, and hurled a lighter that was lit from his right hand.Harvey narrowed his eyes and realized that the water coming from inside the sprinklers had already been changed with gasoline.There was going to be another fire if the lighter hit the floor.Harvey had to stop and extend his right hand forward, spreading his fingers apart before quickly curling them. A powerful force pulled the lighter right into his hand, and its flame extinguished.At that moment, the assassin chose not to retreat but to go into the offensiv
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
