"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
Hector continued to explain coolly, "If Mandy was willing to read the statement when she was anxious while that fool Lilian caused a commotion, it'd take an instant for Mandy and Harvey's fragile relationship to completely break.""A woman couldn't stay calm in a state like that. But if this happened at another time, Mandy would ask for more evidence. Even if we did it perfectly and it couldn't be traced back to us, there might still be some flaws. For example, we can't kill that stubborn officer called Captain Pavel, can we?"If we allowed things to continue, more and more flaws would appear. When the plan is too flawed, it wouldn't be able to fulfill our needs. In other words, it wouldn't have much effect despite all our effort. Instead, we might get thrown into prison. That's why I've lost this matchup."Hector let out a sigh. While he looked calm, the darkness in his eyes betrayed how upset he was truly feeling inside.That was how it was supposed to be.He spent so much effor
The following morning, the entire Wolsing's streets were paved with red by the fallen leaves blanketing the ground as the winds of fall started to pick up.The barren scenery of fall began to show itself. Even the usually crowded area around the office buildings in the Third Ring seemed to be far less lively compared to the past.However, it didn't stop businesses from going on as usual.Mandy had already arrived at the reception area of the Ninth Branch Company early in the morning. She even took a team of construction workers, as she was thinking of how to restore the damages done to the building from yesterday.For Mandy, price didn't matter. All she needed was for the restoration to be completed in the shortest amount of time possible.After working through the night, the entrance of the company had already been somewhat repaired. However, she still needed some more time to restore it to how it was in the beginning.Even then, she had already calmed down a lot.No matter wha
On the other side of the call, Pavel smiled bitterly. "Things won't be so complicated if we have all the answers. In other words, you should leave if you're already there. I'm worried that the family members will do something to you. If anything happens to you, our side will have to bear even more responsibility.""They probably don't have much hostility against me for now." Mandy looked at what had happened, and sighed. "However, all of them are in full mourning attire and are mourning in front of my office."Paval's voice stopped as soon as he heard what Mandy told him. After processing it, he said, "I'll take a team over right now. But remember, please avoid conflict no matter what happens. If someone starts to fight, then things will become even more complicated." Mandy hung up quietly.The media had already started to interview the families on the spot."My dad was fine yesterday, but in the end? He pulled his own oxygen tube last night! Someone must have threatened him!"
When Maya saw that Mandy was able to keep a cool head in a situation like this, she took a deep breath and quickly went to work."Look! Mandy's been watching us!""She doesn't have any compassion at all! Look at her, she doesn't even feel any regret. Is she really going to offer her life up for killing everyone?""Looks like the law won't be able to give us any justice! Let's go, everyone! We'll personally take justice ourselves!"After the commotion had started for a while, several people among the families started to shout. It seemed that they realized Mandy wasn't going to fall for their ruse."Blood for blood!""For justice!""Let's go, everyone!"The men started to provoke the other family members. Some of them even took out rods from somewhere, making the situation even worse in an instant.At this time, the siren from the police cruisers could finally be heard.The officers from the police station had finally arrived.However, the police didn't dare to do anything too
"Closed?" Harvey smiled gently. He took out a photo from his pocket, and gave it to the security guard."She was your boss, correct? I heard she lost her husband and only had one son. Unfortunately, her son was useless, and they lost almost everything that her husband had left for her. Now, she's dead. Her son must be mourning inside, correct?"Why don't you go in and ask your little employer if he wanted to know the truth of his mother's death? If he wants to, then let me in. I can confidently say that I'm the only one who can help him get to the truth of his mother's death."The security guard looked at him strangely. After holding the photo for a moment, he quickly went in.-Five minutes later, Harvey was inside the furniture complex.All the shops inside the complex were closed, and the lights in the corridors weren't switched on as well. Only the dim emergency lights would occasionally flash.In the corner of the complex, several security guards were sitting on the floor l
When Helios shouted loudly, many of the security guards surrounding them stood up. They all looked at Harvey with cold eyes.They were all Helios' henchmen, who worked for him.While Helios wasn't worth much, he treated his underlings well.That was why his henchmen were still willing to serve him, even when he had fallen to such a state.Harvey ignored the security guards who were approaching him, and simply walked over to the photo of the deceased woman. He looked at the face of the ordinary woman on it, and said, "This reminds me of the idiom 'give a dog a bad name and hang him', Helios."No matter what you say, you're still a nepo baby. You should understand the person who killed your mother isn't me, but the person who used her to frame others. If you want revenge, that's fine. But go look for the person who ordered her to do all this!"Kill him, and only then will you be able to truly avenge your mother. Do you think there's any point in trying to kill me? Do you think your
"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
