The next day…What happened to Geraldton Hotel was being reported on the news. It was about how an underground criminal empire in Wolsing was being swept by the authorities. Harvey didn't expect things to go so out of hand. At the same time, he now knew that no matter what the Yates of Country A wanted to do, they wouldn't be able to make any moves in the short term after what happened.There was another rumor that Kyros alone had borne the brunt of the crimes for the Wright family. The Wrights of Wolsing had removed his name from the family and that was enough to settle things. They were also not part of the media report.It was easy for one to see that a compromise had been reached by all the factions involved. Otherwise, if the Wrights of Wolsing really wanted to get involved, no one could estimate how this would develop.Just as Harvey was reading the news, his phone buzzed. Yvonne's stern voice came from the other side. "Sir, I've managed to investigate everything clearly.
"Or maybe you're thinking that after working a little bit harder for a while, you'll be able to leave the country and live under the radar. Then, you can go to Country A and live the life you want? Your parents have already been sent over, right?"No matter what happens, Dan treats those who work for him well. But… There's something I don't understand. You're willing to leave your home permanently just because he treats you well? You're willing to give him your undying loyalty just like that? Is it worth it?" Harvey asked as he put his cup of latte down on the table with a curious expression.The ordinary young woman shuddered slightly before raising her head. She gave Harvey a look and said, "Are you talking to me, sir? Do we know each other?"Harvey smiled. "We don't, but I'm pretty sure you know me. Or should I say… It's exactly because you know me that you went to Country A and persuaded Royce to come to Wolsing. Whether it's the 150 million dollars given to Lilian or lying to X
Jessica noticed that while Harvey was simply having a friendly chat, he had almost revealed all her activities when she was in Wolsing. She knew very clearly that once he told everything to the Wrights and the Yates, not only would they kill her, but they would also kill her entire family.Most importantly, he was able to easily deduce that Dan was behind her. That filled Jessica with horror. She was terrified by how direct Harvey was and knew everything that had happened.The last person that made Jessica feel like this…It was her employer, Dan. Just when Jessica was hesitating if she should sell Dan out, Harvey suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at the corridor not far away. Several kids were running around in the corridor. It was quite noisy, especially in a quiet atmosphere like this.Many passersby simply glanced at the children and didn't give them another look. But for some reason, Harvey felt like there was something wrong. Then, he smelled something like tobacco.
When Jessica saw how Harvey glared at the assassins and gunners with dark eyes, her expression changed again. While she was considered part of Grand City and was also trained in martial arts, she knew she couldn't fight off so many people.She was not a King of Arms or a True Warrior. How could she stop an assault from so many sides? When the thought flashed through her mind, she held on to Harvey and said, "Harvey, if you can protect me and my family, I can tell you everything. Everything I did was ordered by Dan. Other than Dan, Emery is also part of this, and I have proof!"They have two objectives. They want you to become a permanent enemy of Sienna. They're going to even find a chance to make it look like Sienna ordered this and overtake her completely!"Harvey glared at the group and said, "I can understand why Emery wanted to overtake Sienna, since familial love is a joke in such wealthy families. But I thought Dan was courting Sienna. Why is he doing that?""Because Dan c
The assassin who opened the door of the fridge couldn't even cry out as he felt a pang of pain in his neck before crumbling to the ground without making a sound.All the assassins were stunned. Before they could reach, Harvey's figure appeared and the knives in his hand began to dance. Blood splattered everywhere as a few more people slumped to the ground noiselessly.However, these assassins were indeed quite skilled. When they were ambushed, one of them managed to escape the room to call for help. As he did that, all the assassins scattered around the café instantly assembled in this location."Fire! Right now!"As if they knew just how powerful Harvey was, the people outside didn't care if the assassins inside were still alright. The moment they were in position, all of them raised the guns and repeating crossbows in their hand and pulled the trigger as they aimed into the kitchen.Harvey's expression was calm. He kicked on a steel trolley outward, then immediately took a step
Harvey still didn't relax and continued to make a roll.Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!The assassins with the Royal Flush continued their attacks. Very quickly, all the assassins wearing their military uniform fell to the ground, dying with a peaceful look on their faces.This also proved just how powerful the Royal Flush was. That weapon could kill even the True Warriors of legends. The ordinary assassins didn't stand a chance.At this time, Harvey had already confirmed the location of the assassins using the Royal Flush. He immediately headed straight to the entrance and raised the repeating crossbows in his hand. Then, he aimed on top of a streetlight right outside the entrance and pulled the trigger.Whoosh!The masked man standing on the street light with the Royal Flush in hand couldn't react in time. He immediately let go of the Royal Flush in his hand. A dagger slid out into his hand and he immediately jumped right on top of the street light, heading straight for Harvey, the dag
Rumble…The hammer's power was unleashed at this time, and it was hurled at the enemy before it with a surge of lightning. Harvey calmly slammed it with his palm.Bang!Every time they clash with each other, an unimaginably powerful sonic boom would occur, causing the entire plaza to be struck with catastrophe.Bang!The ninth time the hammer was struck down, Harvey's expression turned dark and he side-stepped the attack. He instantly avoided a bolt of lightning and then slammed his palm right into Raiden's chest.There was a bang, and Raiden's body trembled before he was hurled away immediately. The electricity around his hammer instantly dissipated, and he crashed into an electric pole like a ragdoll. He looked flustered. He struggled to get up and wanted to take out the Royal Flush he hid under his belt, but Harvey instantly appeared next to him and kicked him.Bang!Raiden was once again sent flying through the air, falling to the ground together with his hammer. His bo
"Of course you can do whatever you want to me," Raiden said to Harvey with a cold smile. "If you can bet on everything and kill me here, then naturally a dead man like me won't be able to take the fall for Mr. Kyros and the others. But the question is…will you?"Harvey pretended to have a moment of realization when he heard that. "There's another way like that, I see. Why didn't you tell me? If I kill you directly, I'll be able to deal with this problem, right?" Harvey flicked his finger, launching a grain of sand that pierced through Raiden's throat.Raiden's body shook, his eyes filled with disbelief. According to his calculation, Harvey would obey Country H's rules no matter what. But now, Harvey seemed to be ignoring the country's laws…How dared he?How could he?However, Harvey didn't pay the dying Raiden any mind. To him, there was no need to give mercy once he started to act. Since the person behind this wanted his life and even used Raiden to disgust him, then he didn't
It was obvious that Hale's anger and sorrow had pushed him to the limit. He was already blaming Sky Plane for everything. Sky Plane had just earned him as a mortal enemy."My condolences, Hale." Harvey extended his hand and tapped Hale's shoulder. "The dead can't be brought back, so the most important thing now is to recover. Sky Plane is a difficult enemy."Clarion nodded as well. "Now that Susan is dead, Sky Plane will not let this slide. However, we'll need to get you a new identity after you recover. Only when you're safe and when you can live for yourself will you have the chance to have your revenge."I've just received news that everyone in Grand City knows who you are. All the other Sacred Lands will find out very quickly. In a short while, there will be countless people looking for you, for us. That's why you need to get ready. We're running out of time."When Clarion said that, the frigid light in his eyes glinted. He didn't need to send anyone to find out what was go
"No matter what happened, she treated me well all these years. Even if I were to kill her, I want her to die with some dignity. As for the trouble from Sky Plan and her… I'll give you an explanation you'll be happy with. Please permit me," Hale said, not caring for the wounds on his body even when he was kneeling on the floor.Clarion looked stern. If he were to bring in a spy like Susan, it would help him immensely in his career. If they got her into the interrogation room and asked her proper questions, they could get valuable answers from her. That was the only value she had left.However, Clarion also knew why Hale framed it that way. She was still his wife, even when she had already betrayed him. Rather than letting someone like Clarion take her away right now and live a torturous life that she wouldn't be able to tell day by night, he'd prefer to kill her right now. That way, Susan would be able to die peacefully.But how should he choose? Clarion was having a headache rig
Hale's expression was one of shock.Susan was the same.Hale didn't expect Sky Plane's plan to be so vicious. They wanted the Chapter of Ascension and to use the chance to plunge Grand City into chaos.Susan was shocked about how accurate Harvey's guesswork was. If it wasn't because she knew that someone like him would never have a connection with Sky Plane, she would even think that he might have a hand in setting up the trap that looked like it was simply a string of coincidences.Otherwise, how would he have known everything in such detail?Clarion looked at Harvey with more admiration. While he looked like just an ordinary man, whether his power or perception was far beyond them.Hale slowly closed his eyes, forcing himself to calm down for a long time.Then, he turned and looked at Susan and muttered, "Now that we have reached this juncture, I don't think that there should be any more secrets between you and I. Just one question. Did everything happen exactly as Mr. Harvey
"Or maybe, in your subconscious, you do realize that something isn't right. Maybe you simply feel that it's better for her not to know about some things. That way, things will be safer for her," Harvey said with a shrug. "However, the truth is that she didn't get anything from you at all until yesterday, isn't it?"Hale nodded. "You're right. I did have some doubts about her in my mind, that's why I did tell her everything except the Chapter of Ascension."Hale seemed to reminisce about something else before giving a painful smile. "And then, as time passed by, I no longer suspected her. But I'm worried that it'll get her killed, so I chose not to say anything. I believed that as long as I said nothing, we'll be able to live a peaceful life! No one expects that in the end…"Hale signed, looking hopeless when he said that.However, Susan simply smiled icily. "Stop your crocodile tears, Hale. You never trusted me, so stop saying that you love me!"Hale smiled bitterly. He didn't w
Clarion was stunned when he saw Mrs. Hoffman was still trying to argue her way out."Even the way you argue is the same as the Origin Ninjas. Seriously?" Harvey smirked. "Right, I heard that the Origin Ninjas would leave the mark of a petal on the most private spot so that it was easier for them to identify each other. You must have seen it, right, Mr. Hoffman? Of course, I believe she'd definitely say it was just a tattoo that she had while she was in her youth."Unfortunately, I believe that Grand City has plenty of records. It should be quite easy for us to find the evidence we need. That's why, Mrs. Hoffman… Is there really a need to deny it anymore now that we've reached this point?"Mrs. Hoffman shuddered a little. She didn't expect that Harvey would be able to easily see through all her disguise. Most importantly, he even knew about the most damning evidence on her. In a situation like this, continuing with the argument really was pointless."You… You…!"At the same tim
Harvey said calmly, "You smell like one of them."Whoosh!Before Harvey could finish, Mrs. Hoffman immediately pounced at him. In midair, she waved her hand and threw a string of knives.All her blades were blue in color. They looked very pretty, but if they scratched one's skin, one could easily lose their lives if they weren't sent to the hospital immediately.Clarion was shocked when he saw what was unfolding. It was obvious he didn't expect Harvey's words to help them identify Mrs. Hoffman's real identity and forced her to attack.Still, that was quite normal. Thinking back about it, Mrs. Hoffman's calmness during this whole ordeal showed that she was not a normal woman.The power she suddenly showed was within their expectation, and they could understand it too.However, this exact revelation was making things more painful for Hale. It hurt him even more than finding out that his beloved wife sold him out. Clank! Clank! Clank!Harvey pulled up a small fruit knife and thr
Harvey's expression became cold as he watched Mrs. Hoffman. He was completely done with her.Mrs. Hoffman bit her lip and stared at Hale for a long time. "You're right! The one who sold you out is me. I sold your identity to other people, too. I'm also the one that almost got you killed. When I heard about the Chapter of Ascension in the morning, I was also the one who sent the message!"Hale's expression was one of bitterness and grief. He gritted his teeth and asked coldly, "Why?""Why?" Mrs. Hoffman scoffed, a hint of disdain on her face. "Why do you think I did this? Fine, I'll tell you. It's easy—after marrying you for so many years, I've never had a life of peace! We're either living in the streets or hiding! I didn't ask for a wealthy life. I just want a normal and peaceful life like any other ordinary woman! But I can't see us ever having that life! "If that's the case, why can't I gamble everything away? Why can't I sell you in exchange for wealth so I can have an e
Hale let out a bitter cry with a sorrowful expression. How could anyone expose that the person who slept next to them would be the one to stab them in the back?Hale whispered, "I simply didn't want that person to be you. You have been with me for so many years and have suffered so much. I've already treated you as my only family. If family like you betrayed me, it would do nothing but make me suffer."That was why I arranged such a test. I was hoping that Mr. Harvey would betray me once he knew who I really was and that I really did have the Chapter of Ascension. That way, I could continue executing my plans in peace."I didn't expect him to be completely uninterested in the Chapter of Ascension. Instead, you were the one who betrayed me again. It also meant that the one who turned me to Camellia and let her trace me was you…"Harvey didn't pin any blame on Hale after hearing what had happened. After giving it a thought, he said, "Normally speaking, we've just met for the first
"You… Hale! How…" Mrs. Hoffman crawled back up, her mind going black for a moment. She quickly pulled out her phone, about to make a call. Because she was too nervous, she kept on pressing the wrong numbers. She couldn't make that call.Harvey didn't say anything as he looked at this scene calmly.Meanwhile, Hale's expression began to change. There was a hint of sorrow in his eyes as he looked at the woman he loved. "Honey… Don't tell me that despite Mr. Harvey having no interest in the Chapter of Ascension, you let someone else get it instead? In short, you're the one that betrayed me… And has been betraying me…"A tear of blood formed from the corner of Hale's eyes as he spoke.Mrs. Hoffman, who was still trying to make that call, shuddered as she turned and looked at the man whom she had accompanied for many years.At the same time, someone pushed open the door. It was Clarion. He quickly walked into the room and leaned in next to Harvey, whispering, "Something happened
