Mandy was also full of shock. She didn't expect that the development of it all would far surpass her expectations.Harvey used a paper towel to clean his hands, then explained to Mandy, "You don't have to worry about anything now, Mandy. You can call the cops now. What happened to these people had nothing to do with you at all."They have conspired to ruin your company's reputation through such a scheme so they can benefit from it. I believe they should pay a price. One should acknowledge the crimes that were committed and accept their punishment. As for what happened to them, you can ask the police station to take over."Harvey gave it a thought, then added, "We also need to think of a way to find out who's behind this. The person who managed to orchestrate all of this isn't someone ordinary, since he or she could control so many people to directly purchase the properties you prepared in one go."Even Harvey himself was frowning slightly when he said that. The perpetrator had ac
"Doctor, you're so skilled! You must be able to find a way to cure us of our disease, right?" asked a middle-aged man at this time, losing his composure. "We were forced to do all of this! Someone told us if we do this, not only can we get free property, but we'll be able to earn enough wealth for the rest of our lives! He even told us that there won't be any complications from using the powder!"We've been lied to as well! We're also innocent! Please, save us!"The doctor merely sighed and said nothing.Meanwhile, Harvey took a step forward and said, "Since I can tell what has afflicted you from your symptoms, I know the method to cure you. Tell me who are the people behind this, and I'll tell you how to cure it."All the victims exchanged a glance and said together, "The woman who sold the bedding!""That's right! That old woman was the one who organized all this!""We all listened to her.""I understand now." Harvey nodded. "There's only one way to cure this. Full blood tra
At this time, they could hear the sounds of footsteps coming from the other side of the corridor.A woman was leading a few people as she walked in a rush. The woman leading them was none other than Lilian. Simon and Xynthia were following right behind her.Harvey's heart instinctively skipped a beat when the whole family appeared.He wasn't afraid of the family, but he instinctively believed that things were going to become much more complicated.Lilian ignored Harvey, and immediately walked to Mandy and asked loudly, "What's going on, Mandy? I heard someone wants to blackmail my company for 7.5 billion dollars. By the gods, Mandy!"Don't they know the money belongs to me? Once they have my money, how am I supposed to live? Mandy, I'm telling you now that no matter what happens, you can't give them any money!"Not even a single cent! They can have my life instead!"Lilian was extremely determined when she said that. As if it didn't matter who came, her mind was already made up
Pavel's expression became even colder. He ignored Lilian, and simply turned to Mandy and said, "Seems like you're playing the bad cop when the good cop isn't working, huh? If we government servants don't give any leeway to you wealthy people, we deserve to die, right?""No, Captain Pavel! It's all a misunderstanding!" Mandy's heart skipped a beat. She knew there was no benefit to offending Pavel at this time.Most importantly, he did his job as the law required of him. Meanwhile, Lilian pointed her finger at him and even wanted to lodge a complaint against him. Wasn't she acting too recklessly?The moment Mandy thought of that, she quickly apologized. "My mom is someone who can't keep her mouth shut, and can be quite ignorant. Please don't hold it against her.""That's not what I meant," Pavel scoffed. He said nothing else and was going to leave as he shook his head. It was obvious he was going to ignore Lilian and the rest of the family.When Lilian saw what Pavel did, she wanted
Mandy's headache was getting worse. "Mom, Harvey's not someone like that.""If he wasn't someone like this, then what kind of person was he?" Lilian looked at Mandy, trying to force an answer out of her."I didn't know how he managed to solve the problem for you today, but can it be a coincidence that he appeared on the scene? If it wasn't because he was planning it all, why would he appear the moment you're in trouble?"You can say it's a coincidence after it happened for the first or second time. But what about the third and fourth times? Only someone as stupid as you would think so naively! If it weren't for me, Harvey would have already sold you out with his sweet words, and you wouldn't even know it!"Xynthia weakly said, "Mom, it's not a coincidence. I'm the one who called Harvey and asked him to come…"When Lilian heard what Xynthia had said, she felt like someone had just humiliated her, as she couldn't stop the edge of her mouth from twitching.She never thought that whe
Before Harvey could say anything, Lilian, who was practically beaming, said, "Why did you say something like that, Hector? This has nothing to do with you! The reason this happened had to be because Harvey had used brute force to get that advanced sales permit."That must have harmed a lot of people! That's why we've become a target of revenge. If someone is to be blamed, that someone has to be Harvey! So don't think it's your fault and bear the consequences of someone else's wrongdoing!"Harvey scoffed. He knew Lilian didn't like him, but he never knew her loathing for him had reached this stage. She had completely given up her pride so she could flatter Hector."Really? You think this is Harvey's fault?" Hector said in shock."No, no! Harvey has helped all of you so much, he didn't do anything wrong at all. It's all my fault in the end. I should have gotten the advanced sales permit earlier for Mandy. Well, Mandy, both you and I are good friends. When you're in trouble, you shoul
"Of course, if Mandy has anything on her mind, or needs something, I'll do my best to help her. I've been working hard since I was little to get all this, so the woman I love can enjoy all this happiness with me. Haha…" Hector said, sounding very romantic. "Mandy, all you need is to give me a nod, and I'll have the statement appear in front of you."Lilian sighed. "Look at how charitable and bold he is! Mandy, nod and stop looking at Harvey. Something like this is beyond his ability. Hector never forced you to agree with anything else, so don't disappoint him by refusing his goodwill."Harvey had just wanted to say something, but then Mandy suddenly shook her head. "No thanks, Mr. Thompson. It's against the rules to show someone else the statement, and it's also against the law. We'll let the police station do their job, alright? We should leave and stop disturbing them from their work. I believe the police station will be able to give us justice."After that, Mandy gave Harvey
Mandy frowned a little. "I can understand the reason Hector would be the person behind this. What I couldn't understand is, why would the statement say it's you?"Harvey shrugged. "I don't know why Hector wants to court you, so let's just say you're his one true love for now. Then, I will be his biggest obstacle to courting you. If he can get rid of me by either killing me or imprisoning me, then he'd have you in his arms."To someone rich and influential like him, this would be the easiest way to take a woman's heart. He would use this method. That is how a nepo baby would act."Mandy frowned. "But if I found out, he would never be able to get my heart."Harvey simply said, "What does he need your heart for? He only needs you as a person. Once he has you, he won't be worried that you'll regret it anymore. Not to mention, there's nothing you can do even if you regret it."Mandy, love is like a war zone. And the war against these nepo babies is even more terrifying. The reason I di
"Die!" Shingen yelled.The longsword in his hand called upon an endless sweep of cold wind as the onlookers watched. The winds all smashed into Harvey from all directions.Harvey, who was in the eye of the storm, was like an unprotected flower in the middle of a tempest. He could fall at any time.All the Islanders were filled with glee. To them, it was obvious the attack was invincible. It was unblockable. In other words, Harvey's ending had already been decided.Only Aya was frowning.Clang!As the storms finally crashed, Harvey extended his right hand as if he found this boring, and clawed at the storms and snow. At that instant, everything froze.Aya and other martial arts elites saw it clearly. Harvey raised his hand and caught Shingen's blade with his middle and index finger. "Interesting! This is so interesting! Even among the True Warriors, you must be one of the best! Only you have the right to make me use my full power!" Shingen said. While he seemed full of astonish
"You? Beat me up? Ha!" Shingen's expression was full of disdain. He once again sprinted forward like a bolt of lightning. The air whistled as his right hand formed a claw and swiped at Harvey's chest.Harvey launched out his palm strike at the same time. Every time, he would counter Shingen's attack directly.Pfft!After about a dozen exchanges, Shingen suddenly changed his attacks and immediately tore Harvey's other sleeve. Harvey instinctively stepped to the side, as if he was scared of Shingen. "This is you being invincible? How laughable!" Shingen attacked relentlessly the moment he saw he was at an advantage. All his attacks were wide-area attacks, making sure that Harvey couldn't dodge or retreat. His hands were trained in a special technique, and after being genetically modified, they were as tough as steel. Bang! Bang! Bang!Harvey pushed back against all Shingen's attacks with his bare fists, without any intention of withdrawing. He would take all of Shingen's atta
When Harvey saw the clawing motion, he calmly took a step forward and raised his left arm to stop Shingen's attack. He slammed his right hand into Shingen's chest. Shingen didn't expect Harvey would retaliate and trade blows with him. Someone like him would never accept that. At that instant, he changed the direction of his right hand and slammed Harvey's palm.Crack!Their two palms connected.There was a loud thunderclap and a burst of energy extended outward. Both sides instinctively took a few steps back. When Shingen landed on the stage, he left heavy foot sprints.Crack! Crack!The tiles on the stage were crushed.Shingen exhaled sharply after retreating dozens of steps. Only then did he finally discharge all the energy inside him. Harvey also took a few steps back. While he was retreating, he slammed his hand into the air, discharging the energy.While the way they discharged the energies was different, one could easily see that Harvey made it look easy. Leighton an
"God Gene? Divine Inheritance?" Harvey frowned before smiling. "I think I know what that is. I have to admit that Country A's genetic technology really is quite good, seeing how they were able to extract something like this. But… Someone like you who depended on external factors… How much raw talent do you have? Shingen, have you prepared your will? If you haven't, I'll give you some time.""A will?" Shingen said with a smile. "Do you think I need a will to deal with garbage like you?"Harvey had shown great power just now, but Shingen wasn't afraid, especially after he had injected himself with the God Gene. He believed that he was divine. Harvey was just a normal human—no matter how powerful Harvey was, how could he defeat Shingen? The only thing Shingen needed to pay attention to was not to give Harvey the chance to escape.The moment he thought of that, Shingen tore off his shirt and revealed the martial arts robe he was wearing under it. He narrowed his eyes as he looked
Even Aya furrowed her thin brows and instinctively turned to look at Shingen. The ruling family knew about Shingen and Shinto Way's ambition.Today was supposed to be the day they were all united together. But because Harvey pointed out the ambition that Shingen might have, it was already enough to make even someone with an iron will like Aya doubtful.She could fight for the Island Nation's honor. She could fight against Harvey until the very end. But she wouldn't allow herself to be someone else's stepping stone.Shingen, sensing the doubt in Aya's eyes, frowned. He did think that—he wanted to use this chance to remove those who would threaten him in his quest for more power. Also, he wanted to attack once Harvey was already exhausted. He could forge his reputation if he was able to defeat Harvey in one attack.He didn't expect Harvey to reveal all his plans.Shingen was also someone quite decisive. He understood he couldn't simply watch the show anymore. The moment this cross
"Consequences?" Harvey frowned. "What kind of consequences will there be after killing just a few of you? Not to mention, after what I did today, even if I choose to stop, are you going to let it slide? Even if you want to stem the bleeding, do you think they will agree to that? Aya Fujiwara, you're thinking too simply. We should continue. Let's continue until I die!"When Aya heard it, her expression darkened. "Harvey, are you really that stubborn?"By now, anger had crept on her face. Due to her status, she didn't want to fight with a commoner. However, Harvey had been challenging her again and again by humiliating the Island Nations. She was getting incensed.When Aya thought of that, she slowly pressed her hand on the hilt of the longsword on her waist. Now that both sides were at a standstill, it was obvious that the princess was going to attack.Harvey chuckled as he narrowed his eyes and looked at Aya. "What, Your Highness is going to do this personally?"He looked at S
Shigeki was defeated? And then he died?!The leader of one of the Six Schools of Martial Arts and one of the Six major sword saints the Island Nation lost to Harvey that easily? What's more, the price for losing was his life!Many of the Islanders instinctively pinched their faces after seeing what had happened. Only when they felt pain did they confirm that they were indeed not dreaming. Everything that had happened was real.No one expected Harvey to be so terrifying. The Islanders were already challenging him on a gauntlet, but he was still completely unaffected by it. Not only did he maintain his peak form, but he also easily killed Shigeki.People from both the Way of Wood and the Abito Way died. It was a total humiliation for both the martial arts and mystic communities of the Island Nation. Shigeki's death was so shocking that many of the elites from Abito Way could only feel their hands and feet turning cold.They had no confidence in attacking Harvey at all."Cowards, al
"Interesting! You can block my attack despite your youth! Given time, you'll be able to reach an impossible height. You can even be infinitely close to the level of the ruling royal family's tutor one day," Shigeki said with admiration, but his eyes became even darker.If Harvey was already that difficult to deal with right now, he would no doubt become the Island Nation's greatest enemy if he survived. With that thought in mind, Shigeki took a deep breath. He made another move, charging toward where Harvey was standing once more.Harvey simply looked at Shigeki calmly and held the Demonbane in front of him.Clang! Clang! Clang!Shigeki's attack was getting faster and faster, as well as more and more brutal.In the beginning, he had only used 70% of his power. However, as he continued his assault, every attack from him showed him getting more and more brutal. It was as if he wanted to bring Harvey down with him.Harvey didn't want to clash with him directly, and blocked Shigeki
"Not only are the Island Nation's martial arts at a disastrous level, but so is your mysticism." Harvey played around with the Demonbane in his hand. "I told you to give up, but isn't it a little too late to feel any regrets?"When hearing Harvey's words, the Islanders couldn't help but narrow their eyes. He was arrogant… He was simply too arrogant!Abito Way's leader, Shigeki Matsuda, was originally quite calm. However, even he was feeling somewhat agitated. If no one could stop Harvey today, then the Islanders would lose all their dignity! Shigeki couldn't care less about bullying the younger generation despite being a senior. He slammed his hand on the coffee table next to him and immediately soared onto the stage."And who are you?" Harvey turned his head and narrowed his eyes as he looked at Shigeki. Harvey could feel that he was somewhat dangerous."I am the Abito Way's leader and a sword saint as well. My name is Shigeki Matsuda," Shigeki said slowly."I'm very impressed
