However, not only was Tanner Hughes unable to do anything to Harvey York, but he had also been completely crippled by only slaps and kicks from Harvey.That…Not even movies would have a plot like this.Harvey did not give anyone a chance to react. He walked to Tanner and knelt before him, extending his right hand and patting Tanner's face. "Tanner. Tanner Hughes."One of the ten youthful prodigies of Country H Martial Arts Alliance."I thought you're very powerful?"How can you be so careless?"All my ambushes hit you. That just won't do!"Don't you know? Awareness of one's surroundings is a basic skill for someone practicing martial arts."You can't even do that. Are you really one step away from becoming a True Warrior?"Or… Did you reach this stage from using drugs? Just like those islanders, do you even have any potential at all?"If you've really used drugs, stop boasting. We can't afford you to embarrass us, understand?"Harvey gently patted Tanner's face. He did not
"Tanner's senior is one of the Four Kings of the Country H Martial Arts Alliance among the young generation!"He's already a True Warrior!"Despite his age, he's already very powerful, and he's already been vetted to become the next leader of Oeus Temple!"If you cross him right now, it will be very troublesome for you."Charlotte Padget tried her best to console him."He alone can definitely move more than half of the temple's combat power."No matter how well you can fight, how many of them can you fight off?"That is the Oeus Temple, a martial arts training ground that had existed for millennia."All the world's martial arts came from Oeus Temple!"All the young men and women from the alliance who were shocked all hit the same realization when they heard Charlotte's advice.And she was right. Tanner himself was pretty powerful. He was not powerful to the point where he could not be beaten.But Tanner's senior was truly terrifying.He was one of the Four Kings selected fr
Then, the car doors opened. Men wearing robes exited from all the cars.All the men exposed their clear foreheads, and the vigor in their eyes was all to see. It was apparent they were all martial arts experts.Most importantly, they were also wearing chainmail under their robes. They also wore the Royal Flush from the Council of Myth in Kaneridge City.From another angle, their individual combat prowess was far beyond those from the same level.That was because they were armed to the teeth.The door guards from the Alliance wanted to ask why they were there, but when they saw the insignia on their robes, they all immediately gave up asking who they were.They were from the Hummingbar Training Ground.The Hummingbar might not be the most powerful training ground among them all, but just like the Unceasing Gate, they were one of the organizations that had seeped into civilian life the most.In the history of Country G, The Trigram Fist was the leading fighting style among all th
Harvey York was alone in the Country H Martial Arts Alliance.How could he go head-to-head against Caelum Hughes? One of the Four Kings of the Alliance?Was he asking for a death wish?No matter what, everyone who did not have much hope for Harvey could only remain shocked at what he did.All the martial arts elites standing next to Caelum squinted their eyes.Only two kinds of people dared to go against someone like Caelum.Either he was a fool…Or he truly was a capable man.And Harvey did not look like a fool.Caelum took a deep breath and stared at Harvey, curious.Unlike last time, he came prepared.He had even spoken to the Country H Martial Arts Alliance's enforcers beforehand.That was why they had arranged a meeting this time.And this time, Caelum was going to make Harvey choose to give up on his role as representative on his own.That was why Tanner Hughes tested him just now.But even Caelum did not expect his arrangements and plans to make things happen like
As per Caelum Hughes' orders, everyone behind him all spread out.A man wearing a robe with a Longmen insignia suddenly appeared together with four men who wore the same robes.Everyone looked at each other strangely when they saw the people from Longmen come.Out of the four pillars, Longmen was not the strongest.However, their connection with the underworld was the closest.The Martial Arts Alliance was just a loose organization.But Longmen was completely different.Due to their influence and duty, they had the power to interfere with everything that happened there.Despite the difference between the world of martial arts and the underworld, Longmen had power over both.That was why, while many from the Alliance could not care less about the detectives and policemen from the station, they were wary of those from Longmen."What are you doing?"Don't you know that our country is a lawful country?"Despite being someone who practices martial arts, the negative effect you b
The intimidating bald man felt his knees go weak. He immediately fell on his knees without any hesitation, with a thud.While he was only an unimportant leader in the Longmen Wolsing branch, as a member of Longmen, he knew well about his superiors.The moment he saw Harvey York's face clearly, the bald man was immediately stunned.His heart was filled with terror.Out of all the people he intimidated…And he met the one he should not, no matter what!He was Longmen's young master. In Longmen, he completely crushed all thirty-six branches and crushed all eight inner and outer halls. He only answered to one person in Longmen, and everyone else only answered to him.Harvey York!At that moment, the bald man did not even dare to look at Harvey directly in the eyes. He did not even dare to stand up and simply waved his hand to stop his subordinates as sweat started appearing on his forehead. Then, he said to Caelum with a dry voice, "I'm so sorry, Mr. Hughes. But this is far beyond
"Longmen is one of the four pillars of Country H. They are truly formidable."But the Hummingbar training ground has existed for millennia. The power we possess far exceeds what you can imagine."Caelum Hughes was also at a point where it was difficult for him to give up. At the same time, he did not want to surrender just like that. He had no choice but to make a cold smile."Alright! Get him!"As Caelum gave out his order, the elites behind Caelum had no choice but to advance with an icy smile despite their hesitation.Harvey York squinted his eyes. Just when he was going to attack, a wooden door in the hall swung open."Enough!"Caelum, the one you face is the representative of our country's Martial Arts Alliance."No matter if his power is fake or genuine, you must show him respect as long as he's in that position."Showing him disrespect is the same as showing the Country H Martial Arts Alliance disrespect. You understand something this simple, don't you?"An old man hol
Charlotte Padget said nothing. But sometimes, one's silence could tell more than a thousand words.There was a hint of pity in the way she looked at Harvey York.He was the representative of the country's Martial Arts Alliance. He had contributed a lot.But because he did not know how to form alliances, he ended up in a place where he became everyone's enemy.She felt nothing but pity for Harvey.Harvey seemed blind to what Charlotte was feeling and simply walked away with his hands behind his back."Charlotte, you believe that this will be the end of me, right?"Unfortunately, if I'm so easily done for or if I'm so easily defeated…"Then, I wouldn't have become the Alliance's representative."I wouldn't be able to help the Alliance become one of the five directors in the World Martial Arts Alliance."All of you can't see the forest for the trees."However, Charlotte was getting a little upset from hearing that. "I know you had contributed a lot, Mr. Representative."But do
Harvey didn't let Coco get off scot-free. Instead, he walked up to her with a blank expression and slapped her directly across the face.Slap!Coco let out a painful cry; she immediately flew backward, slamming into a wall opposite the door with a loud bang.Harvey then took out a wet paper towel to wipe his fingers and said calmly, "Why don't you guess if I'm bold enough to kill you?"Coco held her face as she stumbled to her feet, staring at Harvey with wide eyes. The pain on her face aside, she was filled with disbelief and indescribable fury. She couldn't believe there was someone in Grand City not afraid to move against her and even dared to assault her directly.There was no difference between this and having a death wish!She was the princess of Parkerville! In her own family and among the Seven Families of Grand City, she was already standing at the top of the hierarchy. How could Harvey stand up to her? What leverage did he have against her?"What?!"Tina and the othe
"I'm warning you! You better grovel at her feet right now and slap yourself a hundred times so that this is over! Otherwise, you're going to die a horrible death!" Tina yelled as she bared her teeth at Harvey, as if wanting to shred him into pieces.It was clear that to Tina, since she couldn't do anything to Vaida, she could at least take it out on Harvey, right? She was very familiar with the heirs of the powerful families within Grand City. Harvey was very unfamiliar to her and didn't look like someone important at all.Even Coco was sizing Harvey up from head to toe. "You should know your place," she said coldly. "There's a hierarchy in this world, and there are rules you shouldn't touch. There are also people you shouldn't offend so easily. In other words, when you want to step in for someone else, you should also see just how much strength you have. Otherwise, you might lose your head before you can even do anything."Both sides had completely turned against each other tod
Despite his fear, Alexei finally stood up and yelled at Coco and her entourage. "Senior Vaida is fine! You can't do whatever you want! Do you really think you can act as you please with the Belladonna Cult?!"Harvey shot him a surprised glance. He wasn't expecting Alexei to be courageous enough to speak out like that. Vaida remained silent; she only looked at Coco coldly, as if wanting to see what Coco was going to do next."Who do you think you are, Alexei? Since when do you have any power to decide whether Vaida is sick? Only the doctors are qualified to do that," Coco sneered. "And only the doctors who work for the Parker family, at that. Now, take Vaida to the mental health institution. Stop wasting our time!" Coco presented herself assertively, as if she was going to use this excuse to admit Vaida into the institution.What of the consequences?With Parkerville's influence in Grand City currently, they didn't have to care about the consequences. Before Coco's men could
With an icy demeanor, Vaida said slowly to Coco, "What if I say no?""No?" Coco looked at Vaida as if she didn't know what was good for her. "What right do you have to say no? If you know what's good for you, you'll sell me Port View Restaurant cheap right now! Once my brother takes over, this place will ultimately become mine! Stop treating yourself like you're the owner here."Even the Belladonna Cult thinks you're just a madwoman, and that they should support my brother fully. Who do you think you are now? If it weren't for your father's reputation, everything the Belladonna Cult owned would have been confiscated by the city a long time ago! You’re just a schizophrenic woman… Do you really think you're anyone important?"I'll give you three seconds to get the hell out of the Supreme Chamber! Otherwise, I'm going to teach you a lesson!""I dare you to say that again," Vaida hissed.Her eyes turned even colder."A long time ago, Dan was the one begging my father, kneeling in fr
“However, if it's discovered that you have taken even a single cent from Port View Restaurant… I'm sorry, but I’ll have no choice but to send you to jail.”Vaida extended her finger and slowly mimicked slitting her throat.Upon hearing these words, Tina began to shudder, her face as pale as a sheet.Harvey gave an approving nod. Vaida was efficient and also dealt a powerful emotional blow. She stood on moral high ground, what she did was enough to infuriate Coco. All this while, the Parkers had treated Port View Restaurant as their asset. Coco might even be one of those who embezzled funds from the restaurant. If Vaida sent Tina to prison, this would indeed be very interesting.Tina's face was pale at that moment. She instinctively looked at Coco, trembling as she begged, "Princess Coco…"It was obvious that she believed only Coco could save her now. Coco furrowed her brows, and her expression darkened. She stared coldly at Vaida."No need to audit the accounts. I can tell y
"According to the rules, this place won't have anything to do with you anymore in the future!" Coco said confidently in front of everyone, wanting to shame Vaida publicly.Vaida spat icily, "According to the agreement, only when I can't find my man of destiny within the appointed time will all the Belladonna Cult's assets go to Dan. Unfortunately for you, I have already found him. From that moment onward, everything the cult owns has nothing to do with Dan anymore. Do you understand? But of course, if you think this place doesn't belong to me…"You can call the Seven Families Joint Meeting, and we can discuss this at length. Let's see who owns the Belladonna Cult's assets."Coco's expression turned a little colder after hearing that. However, she retrained her emotions and smiled brilliantly. She knew very well according to Grand City's rules, since Vaida managed to find her man of destiny, Dan would never be able to take over the Belladonna Cult's properties.But what if her man
"Vaida, Grand City is now governed by laws. It's not right to start hitting people here, isn't it?"Just as Tina was about to crawl away, the clacking of high heels came from the entrance. A faint scent of perfume wafted through the air with a somewhat seductive tang.Harvey instinctively looked at the entrance. Elegantly dressed men and women walked in, chatting and laughing. A gorgeous woman in her twenties led the entourage.Not only were her facial features exquisite, but she also had quite a curvaceous physique. There was an air of superiority surrounding her, as if she could easily overshadow everyone else. She was wearing the most fashionable black dress, showcasing her long legs and demonstrating her perfect curves.While this woman wasn't very mature, she was full of charm and allure. To use a more modern term, she was obviously quite the player and skilled at charming men. She was none other than Coco Parker, princess of Parkerville.The moment Tina saw that woman, she
Vaida's slap was direct and ruthless, carrying an indescribable force. In one hit, Tina was instantly struck into a daze as she stumbled unsteadily. A scarlet handprint instantly appeared on her face; she looked disheveled.Tina looked at Vaida in disbelief, her voice trembling. "You hit me? Grand City is a society of law, and you hit me?" Tina couldn't understand why Vaida would hit her at this point. She was just a schizophrenic woman, and she was at the edge of losing control of Belladonna. What made her think she could still act so boldly? Who did Vaida think she was?It was obvious that deep down, Tina had no respect whatsoever for Vaida. In her mind, she could scare Vaida away by just using Coco's name. Coco was the number one princess in Grand City. Meanwhile, Vaida was just a madwoman… What right did Vaida think she had to cross Coco?Tina never expected Vaida to have no fear of Coco. Vaida even slapped her so hard that she almost dropped to the ground.Tina bit her lip
"I also think it's inappropriate to make such a request, but I have no choice. The VIP wants this private room. This is the Supreme Chamber, which represents one's status," Tina said as she narrowed her eyes at Alexei, mockery evident in her gaze."As you know, the Port View Restaurant believes that customers are gods. Now that our gods are here, of course we must accommodate their minor request. Princess Vaida, Mr. Alexei, you're both smart people. You understand that it's not easy for us, either. Can you please move quickly? We still need to clean up this room. If the VIP finds this room dirty, it might be difficult for us to handle.Tina's words right now were pure humiliation, the ones that could make men go berserk. Alexei's expression instantly turned dark.Port View Restaurant was owned by Belladonna Cult. Vaida was the scion of the Belladonna Cult. In other words, this was her turf. It was outrageous for her to be asked to leave when she was halfway through a meal, especia
