Everyone was shocked when they saw Harvey swing his hand gently at Nicholas with an open palm, but it was enough to throw him away into the ground, coughing in blood. Everyone could only watch in awe.Some elites could already tell from this moment alone that Nicholas was no weakling. Unfortunately, he was unfortunate enough to encounter someone even more powerful than he was.That was Nicholas's fate.Marlee stared at Harvey with a shine in her eyes. Veer held his throat, admiring Harvey even more. He had encountered plenty of young talents throughout the years as the patriarch of his family. But it was the first time he encountered someone with so much talent in the mystics and martial arts.At this moment, Veer even wanted to sacrifice everything he had just to recruit Harvey and make him the Judd family's son-in-law.As for the others, all of them simply thought of how eye-catching he was at this moment.Meanwhile, Harvey simply pulled out a paper towel and thoroughly clean
Harvey did not stay despite Veer and Marlee's request after he was done with matters in the Judd household. After declining several invitations from the other geomancers, he left after a few more polite words.Once he was back in his estate and had just finished enjoying a cup of coffee, he received a message from the front that Vaughn requested an audience.Harvey did not refuse and simply asked Vaughn to enter the estate."Boss, I have bad news. Nicholas Thompson is back!" said Vaughn, with the obvious darkness in his expression when he met Harvey, who was drinking his coffee."Nicholas was Hector's brother. Not only was he from the family's main branch, but it was also said that he had created an invincible corporation on Dark Island. Not only did he want revenge this time, he wanted to take back everything he lost."Harvey nodded. "I understand."Vaughn replied sternly, "No, you don't understand. According to my information, he had accepted help when he was overseas. Many mer
The following day, news spread throughout Wolsing.Hector, one of the Four Young Masters of Wolsing, had passed away due to an acute disease a few days ago. Today was the day of his funeral.All the members of the Thompson family had returned. It was obvious that they wanted to give Hector a grand funeral. After the news came out, all the members of the major wealthy families went to the funeral to pay their last respects.Suddenly, a lot of people gathered in Mount Jewel, where Hector's funeral service was held. While the Thompson family had expected all this, it was obvious that the security forces they prepared were stretched to their limits.All they could do was check the invitation and their belongings, and that was it. They could not do anything else.Harvey had arrived at the funeral service very early in the morning. However, no one noticed him because he preferred to be discreet. After narrowing his eyes and scanning the corners of the service, Harvey quietly mixed into
As soon as Harvey pushed Mandy to the ground, he saw Vaughn and many of the members of the family's higher echelon gathered around Hector's coffin.Suddenly, gunshot sounds could be heard from the front of the coffin. Roberto didn't react in time—his body shook as bullets rained down on him. He coughed out a mouthful of blood and collapsed on the ground.The people behind Vaughn finally reacted, and quickly retreated and escaped. The Thompsons were shocked. Some of them cried in anguish. "Sir!"Before they could do anything, the coffin blasted open with a bang. A figure in a dark outfit from the Island Nation came flying out. With a longsword in his hand, he immediately headed toward where Vaughn was, preparing to kill him right there and then.Vaughn was shocked, but a slender figure suddenly stepped out. With a flick of her sword, she blocked the ninja's decisive attack.It was Rachel.Vaughn crawled up from the floor and ran to a bodyguard, grabbing the firearm from his hand
"Not necessarily the Islanders, no." Harvey shook his head with a dark expression. "Today is Hector's funeral, and the key moment for the Thompsons' heirs to fight for their ascension as patriarch. While it looked like the Islanders were behind this assassination attempt, the Thompsons might have arranged for him."Mandy frowned. "Don't tell me it's Vaughn…?""Not him. He's the next person in line with the hope of becoming the patriarch after Hector's death. There's no need for him to make things difficult for himself," Harvey said slowly.Harvey had a guess, but he didn't expect this person to be so decisive and make such a risky move in the funeral service. If it really was that person, then all of these arrangements were just the appetizer. The entree wasn't here yet.When Harvey realized this, he didn't care about Mandy's resistance and immediately dragged her under a nearby tree where she would be out of sight. It was too late to leave right now."Thompsons! Hear me! Don't le
"Traitorous son?" Nicholas said calmly, his hands behind his back. "It's true that to you, I'm a traitorous son. But have you all forgotten something? The position of patriarch was supposed to be mine. "However, my father died young, leaving behind my brother and me. We were entrusted to Roberto's care. But maddened with power, he allied himself with outsiders and took our power away. That was why my brother and I had to act out such a performance."He will stay behind and become Roberto's fake son, while I depart for Dark Island. According to our original plan, when I return, my brother and I will dish out our revenge accordingly. I didn't expect him to die first."Since that's the case, I'll personally take care of what's happening in the Thompson family. However, seeing that we're in front of my brother's grave, I don't want to spill too much blood. I'll give you all a chance."Give up what's rightfully ours. Otherwise, you can't bear the consequences!"Couldn't bear the conse
Nicholas' return and taking back everything he wanted was just an excuse. His greatest aim was to borrow the powers of Evermore and other forces to make Wolsing bleed and covered in corpses. He wanted Wolsing to fall into chaos.While he was indeed pitiful when he was forced to leave Wolsing, it was not an excuse for his actions.Harvey even suspected that the reason Nicholas could reach this stage was all thanks to Evermore and their planning. Nicholas was one of the most important pawns for them to throw the country into chaos.If Nicholas really did become the patriarch of the Thompsons of Wolsing, the result would be unthinkable.An elder from the Thompson family approached him and slammed his hand on the table. "How dare you! You dare threaten the family? And you will make us choose between life and death? What? Are you going to kill everyone here?"I'm going to make it clear. The Thompson family isn't just someone's private property. Those who become the patriarch would have
"Is Nicholas really that influential?" Mandy mumbled behind the crowd, her expression full of shock. She had heard about this name, but she didn't expect him to be so forceful the moment he appeared.If anyone took the wrong step today, the Thompsons of Wolsing would most likely have a change in leadership. That was something everyone present didn't expect."He's quite strong, but that's all," Harvey said after he sent out a message he had just composed. "Don't worry and watch. Vaughn will instantly strike back at him.""Vaughn?" Mandy snorted. "He was well known for being useless in the family. How can he be a match for Nicholas…?"Just as Mandy was saying that, Vaughn glanced at the phone in his hand. Then, he smiled coldly and approached Nicholas with his hands behind his back. "Stop tricking everyone. It's true the shares were acquired by someone else and that our share prices might drop, but a few days ago, I've already used all my personal assets to buy our company's stock
None of the elites from Earth Hall had a problem with Wenzel's words. They all kneeled on the ground and said, "We understand the gravity of our crimes. We accept our punishment!"Meanwhile, Silvan's eye twitched as he forced a smile. "You're mistaken, Mayor! You've been away and didn't return in the past decade. You probably don't know what's happening in Grand City. Please listen to my explanation. I'm sure you'll be happy with it."Silvan was no fool. He knew very well that tonight, he might be made an example of if he wasn't careful. He had no choice but to choose to surrender so that he wouldn't be killed with one slap.Harvey said nothing but simply looked at what was happening without much interest. The others might be afraid of Wenzel, but he didn't feel anything."Grand City's current situation? Isn't it just someone wanting to hijack my authority while I'm away?" Wenzel said softly, but his words were frightening. "If I return any later, would you have a new mayor already
Rumble…The gigantic helicopter slowly landed on a platform right outside the entrance of the Foster Residence. The door slid open, and dozens of men in white robes walked out. Their faces were cold, as if they were machines or puppets. When they walked out, it was difficult to tell if they were even humans.Among the group, several men and women wearing masks could be seen among the men. While they weren't that eye-catching, they seemed to be surrounded by a formless, subtle aura of awe.Harvey gave them a look, and he could tell these men and women were extremely powerful. They were all elites at the level of True Warriors. All he could say was that Grand City was indeed very well established.A woman wearing Givenchy's exclusive collection and frameless glasses slowly walked out before standing aside, making way for a middle-aged man wearing a traditional garb. The man had a powerful figure and a handsome face. The outfit he was wearing was quite old, with a few patches here and
"Forget being on your knees and begging me, you're even threatening me," Harvey patted Silvan's face with the Absolute Decree. "Do you really think I wouldn't dare to kill you?""If you do, you wouldn't be wasting your breath now!" Silvan said with a cold smile, his expression brutal. "I'm warning you… You had better return the Absolute Decree to me in one piece, then kneel and beg for forgiveness and offer Tina to me. Then, maybe things will end here. Otherwise, you're going to pay for your mistake your entire life! At that time, not only you… Even those who stand with you will have to pay a price you can't even imagine!"Silvan had been given an order to take Tina away no matter what. That was his first aim.Of course, he couldn't simply let the part where he was humiliated be. He would get his revenge one way or another.Harvey smiled. "Really, now. Since you sound so confident, just bring it on. Let's see if your face is harder, or the Absolute Decree is harder…"When Silvan s
"That's for me to know and for you to find out. If you're not going to make a choice soon, I'm going to do that for you." Harvey extended his hand and patted Silvan's face with the Absolute Decree.Silvan's eyes narrowed. Only at this time did he realize why Dan had forced him to make his move even if he had to spend that precious one chance. The way Harvey did things was simply too overbearing and couldn't be prepared for."Put down the Absolute Decree!""What you're doing is forbidden in Grand City!""This is outrageous!"All the Earth Hall elites yelled, furious.Alexei used this chance to get closer to Harvey and whispered, "Big bro, you should pay more respect to the Absolute Decree. If you keep this up, you might anger all Seven Predecessors if you're not careful."Silvan smiled coldly. "You hear that, Harvey? You humiliated Grand City by stealing the Absolute Decree. You're in big trouble now."Harvey smiled. "You don't have to worry whether I'm in trouble or not. You
"No one can say that I won't be the future mayor of Grand City. As long as I have the possibility of becoming the mayor, what you do know is insubordination!" Harvey sneered. "Are you brave enough to touch me?""Really now?" Silvan snapped, his face frosty. "Do you think I haven't prepared anything before coming here?"Silvan took out a badge made of a special material, flashing it in front of Harvey. "The Absolute Decree! While it can only be used once, it will allow anyone to enter any place within Grand City! I think this is the perfect place to use this. Forget about the fact that you're not even the scion of Grand City just yet. Even if you are, you need to obey the Absolute Decree!"He waved his hand and commanded, "Alright! Go and get our target!"Whoosh!Before anyone from Earth Hall could move, Harvey took a step and immediately appeared right in front of Silvan. Before Silvan could react, Harvey slapped his face. Slap!The slap was loud, and it was powerful enough t
A simple sentence seemed to contain an endless amount of murderous intention, putting all the elites from the Earth Hall on their guard. Silvan's face became terrifyingly dark."I know you're powerful, Harvey. You crushed the Origin Fist's Mark and even defeated all the Island Nation's six schools in the past. There's no mistake that you're a true warrior. But think through this clearly. There are so many of us here, can you defeat us? Even if you can, what if the three halls combined forces? What if all 100,000 of Grand City's elites attacked?"I'm advising you here right now because I have some respect for your role as the Representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance. But if you still refuse to listen and want to force your way, we don't mind doing it until the end. You can try and attack any of us here. Let's see if the thousands of elites from the three halls will attack, and how many of us can you actually kill!" Silvan's handsome face turned brutal.If it was someone
However, Silvan couldn't simply leave like this or surrender. He gritted his teeth and instantly pulled out a gun from his waist. After disengaging the safety, he pointed at Harvey and said coldly, "I'm not here to waste my breath with you, Harvey. Take Tina here. I'll give you one minute. Otherwise, don't blame me for being callous! While you are indeed quite powerful, I trust that you know the people around you aren't that powerful!"36 men in black robes took a step forward. The weapons in their hands were not only aimed at Harvey, but also on Alexei and the rest.Harvey narrowed his eyes and smiled. "I do have the Tina that you're looking for, but I saved her out of the generosity of my heart as she was being pursued. However, something interesting about me is that when I save someone, I'll make sure to go all the way. Since she's now with me, I naturally need to ensure her safety."You can take her away. You can even put her in your prison. However, I need you to provide me w
Harvey played with the umbrella in his hand and said curiously, "You're with Dan?"When Silvan heard that, he said coldly, "Mr. Representative, do I need to repeat myself? I am Silvan of the Earth Hall. Now that I'm here, I am the warrant from Earth Hall as well as Grand City's law. And when I act, all will obey my orders. Even the Seven Families will cooperate with me without delay. Understand?"Harvey smiled. "And if I can't understand?"Silvan simply raised his hands.Clack! Clack!All 36 men in the black robes took out unique firearms and disengaged the safety, aiming in Harvey's direction."These weapons are specialized firearms Country A created against martial arts elites. Their bullets are created from toxins that could deal with True Warriors that Grand City has perfected. The ones with weapons are trained elites who with god-like accuracy and an iron will. If all 36 of them pull the trigger at the same time, even a living legend who has reached the level of uniting Man
Grand City looked quite mysterious under the cover of the night. The skies above were covered in dark clouds, with flashes of lightning visible occasionally—it was dazzling.Just when the butler of the Foster Residence was about to tell the staff to secure the gates for the night, sounds of car engines could be heard approaching from afar. Bright headlights swept over, and the staff instinctively narrowed their eyes. Eighteen Land Rover Defenders headed straight to the residence, surrounded by an unspeakable force. Thanks to the rain, one couldn't clearly see the figures within.However, each of the cars had red car plates, which was quite shocking to those in the know.It was Grand City's Purgatory Hall!The three halls of Grand City were the three institutions created for the city. The Heaven Hall was responsible for defense, the Earth Hall covered law enforcement, while the Purgatory Hall had dominion over execution.It could be said that among the Three Halls, while the Eart
