Seeing Aurora’s sorry state, the people around couldn’t help but feel sympathy for her.She was quite the beauty, after all. Everyone would surely feel that way after seeing her in such distress.Harvey frowned. After hearing Aurora call out the name Mr. York for the third time, he knew someone was instructing her to do all this.‘Is she here to make a scene?’‘Or is she here to show off her crying?’“The moment you got out, everything’s already been settled.”Queenie’s face, however, was cold. “You getting blacklisted is no one else’s problem but yours. You brought this on yourself.”“Even without Harvey, someone else would’ve blacklisted you sooner or later.”“I’m really sorry, Mr. York, Miss York! I know what I did wrong.”Aurora moved her legs and crawled toward Harvey and Queenie, all the while putting on a pitiful look on her face.“I came to Hong Kong for my first ever concert. This is my first stop in Country H, my biggest highlight in the entertainment industry!” s
As the security guards dragged Aurora out, she kept struggling and begging for mercy with a hysterical expression.“Please! Give me one more chance!”“I was wrong! I was wrong!!!”Her followers started to echo her cries.In front of a crowd who didn’t know the minute details of what had taken place, Aurora and the others seemed like people who were being taken advantage of.When Aurora and the others were finally gone, Queenie said calmly, “That woman’s quite the character. She seemed like she was going to fight us to the death, but then she started groveling in front of us…”“What a flexible woman!”“Not quite.”Harvey stood up and went to the back door.“Let’s have a look outside.”Queenie froze. A hint of confusion could be seen between her eyebrows.…On Victoria Harbor’s plaza, Aurora and her followers could be seen kneeling at the Seaside Restaurant area even after being thrown out.She was still displaying a tearful expression as she wailed in sorrow.She was beggi
There was a satisfied look on his handsome face.“You did well, Aurora! I’m sorry to make you go through all that,” he said with a look of approval.“You’re too kind! It’s my greatest honor to serve you!”Aurora seemed quite coy when she spoke to him.“Besides, how dare Harvey and Queenie blacklist me throughout the entirety of Country H like that?! I’ll let them taste their own medicine!”“But I don’t understand. Why did you only ask me to go against Queenie, and not Harvey?”“If I’m correct, the person who blacklisted me must be the rumored powerful figure from Country H, Harvey York!”“We should be dealing with him right now!”Aurora knew her actions would cause a lot of trouble for Queenie, but she was more interested in taking revenge against Harvey.After all, she considered herself to be the person responsible for Durin’s fame. Additionally, the Kaizen Group wouldn’t have tasted success had it not been for her help.Thus, she wanted to trample on Harvey.“There is an
“If this keeps up, you’ll have your first casino license in just a few days!”Aurora couldn’t help but hug Mateo’s shoulder. This man who was within reach was simply far too outstanding.In just two days, he had stirred up a huge storm in both Hong Kong and Las Vegas.Not only was the Hamilton family forced to a corner, but the Yorks of Hong Kong also had their own set of troubles to deal with.This was a real man!“Young Master Leo was already prepared to deal with the Hamilton family.”“He told me that I have to fight them on the gambling table, so they have no excuses!”“The Mordu Casino-Palace’s casino license is just the beginning.”“I’ll make them hand over every single casino license to me, along with their assets…”“That way, it’ll be far more interesting.”Aurora giggled shyly.“Are you still going tonight?”“If you are, is it fine if you take me with you?”“Not tonight.”Mateo looked calm. “Didn’t the King of Gambling himself challenge me on social media?”“T
Mateo gave a small smile as he sized up Aurora.“You really are a great talent, Aurora,” he said, showing his admiration.“You shouldn’t just be a simple actress. You should become Young Master Leo’s military advisor instead!”“I didn’t even think about that…”“But you did!”“That’s an excellent plan! Once news breaks out about Queenie forcing a famous celebrity to jump into the sea, the papers will write themselves!”Aurora laughed.“How far should we go, Mr. Mateo? Where would be a good spot to jump?”“I think the Victoria Harbor’s pretty good.”“There are a lot of tourists there. I’ll definitely cause a huge buzz if I jump there!”“When that happens, you can get one of your men to pretend to be a tourist and pull me out of the water before I start acting again. This is perfect!”Mateo burst out laughing and snapped his fingers.He looked straight into Aurora’s eyes and said, “Your plan’s pretty good, Aurora, but I think it can be better.”“We won’t be getting you any he
Six o’clock in the evening, at Vesper Light Tower.Victoria Harbor’s scenery was truly beautiful.After recording the video as instructed by Mateo, Aurora put on a wedding dress and brought her phone with her as she climbed the light tower.Perhaps it was because of her distant look and her dress…But passers-by and tourists alike assumed she was just filming a scene.Not a lot of people came to disturb her. Rather, they were all standing close by so they could record her actions.At a quarter past six, Aurora climbed to the top of the tower on her own under the watchful gaze of many, with the tower being around three hundred feet tall.She gazed toward the horizon as she held onto the rails.The sea breeze was terrifyingly loud, carrying a hint of salt. The windy effect made Aurora seem quite miserable, especially with how her dress stood out against the night sky.Everyone suddenly realized what was happening. People started screaming at Aurora, trying to stop her from endin
Harvey smiled when he looked at Aurora’s shocked face. “Remember now?”“I can give you some reminders if you want.”“After the commotion you made earlier today, you went back to the Three Seasons Hotel where you met Mateo.”“You later recorded a video on your phone…”“Then, you came here in a wedding dress to jump from this spot.”“If you don’t believe me, just check your phone.”Aurora trembled. She instinctively turned on her phone and played the video inside it.No matter how much she looked, the woman in the video didn’t seem like her at all.“I don’t know what you and Mateo planned…”“But it’s clearly not enough for you to fake your death for him.”“Only when you die for real will his master plan finally proceed.”“Queenie will be criticized and then forced to leave the Yorks of Hong Kong. She’ll have no other choice but to seek Jason’s help.”“After you die, even if the police find out that she has nothing to do with your death…”“The public will always go for Quee
After recalling the past, Aurora suddenly understood.If it weren’t for Harvey’s help, she would’ve been on the news headline as a bloated corpse.Thinking back, it was her who brought up the idea to plunge into the sea to Mateo.She didn’t believe that Mateo would allow her to die in such a dreadful way.“No… This isn’t possible…”Aurora’s face had completely lost all color, but she still remained stubborn.“Why would he even do such a thing?”“Even if he doesn’t want to take responsibility for me, I’m still one of his trump cards!”“I’m beautiful! I know how to serve people!”“I can get the people he wants to take down without any effort!”“Why would he kill me? There’s no point!”“Besides, I was the one who came up with the idea to blame Queenie for this whole mess!”“Mr. Mateo didn’t even come up with the idea!”“I’ll never believe you!”Harvey chuckled and threw a phone at Aurora.“Your room was playing Waterloo Bridge this afternoon, right?”“When you got back, yo
Joven and the others could only feel the chill down their spine when they saw Kuro crawling out of the entrance. That was how tyrannical the Seven Predecessors could be, and they had the power to back it up. Compared to them, Joven was indeed just a servant."Go back and inform Sky Plane," Geoffrey said coldly. "Grand City now has a master. From today onward. Do what's expected of you. Pay your tribute when it's due… If you miss it even once, I will wipe out your entire people!"Kuro immediately crawled out of the entrance and then left. He did not dare to stay in Grand City at all. Because he believed that even if Geoffrey did not kill him, Harvey would kill him anyway. Not to mention, he still needed to report what had happened. If Geoffrey dared to say something like that, it meant that he trusted Harvey greatly.After the Islanders had left, a group of students from the Universal Sect rushed in from outside. Some of them moved the corpses, some cleaned up the training hall, and
"Come… I'm still waiting for you to show me your disrespect," Geoffrey casually said as he gently patted Kuro's collars."I… I am sorry…" Kuro was so scared that he could not help but reply in the Island Nation language."It's… It's our fault for not being able to see who you really are! All fault lies with me! I'm a fool! The biggest here! I'm an animal! So please be merciful and don't hold this against us! There's no need to sully your hands… We'll leave now! Right now!"Kuro simply wanted to crawl and leave. All he wanted to do was to escape this place. He thought that after taking the forbidden medicine and injecting himself with the serums, he could destroy countless warriors and become invincible. But now, he deeply understood that there was still a gap between him and Geoffrey.This gap was so huge that it was impossible to close. It was something he could never surpass in this life. It was not something that some drugs could make him surpass Geoffrey."I gave you the chanc
After the initial surprise, Kuro also began to calm down quickly. Obviously, he did not think much about the aging Geoffrey and believed there was nothing special about him.Kuro immediately raised his chin as he stared at Geoffrey and coldly snorted, "You want us to break our arms? Do you think you have the right to do that? Do you think you're worthy of that?"Then, Geoffrey calmly said, "Both of them then.""Ha! I know that the Seven Predecessors are very influential in Grand City and know that your words are law in this place!" Kuro instantly became aggressive when he looked at how nonchalant Geoffrey was. "But you need to understand that the Sky Plane wasn't any lower than Grand City in terms of status. Do you think we care about your act? If you know what's good for you, move aside. Once we kill Harvey, we will pay our respects later! But if you meddle in our affairs, don't blame us for showing you disrespect instead!"Kuro waved his hand, and all the Origin Ninjas pulled out
At this time, Kuro clapped his hand with a vicious expression. After what he did, dozens of figures immediately appeared on the roofs of the surrounding structures. They all wore black stealth suits, and their figure looked somewhat like phantoms. It was as if they could easily disappear into the shadows of the surrounding buildings.They also had swords on their backs and leather pouches on their belts. They also had blowpipes in their hands, as if they would kill Harvey at any time. "Ninjas from the Island Nations?" Harvey curiously looked at what was happening. "I wonder what the differences are between the ninjas from Sky Plane and the Island Nation. Don't tell me you're also from an organization called Origin Ninjas or something?"Harvey was not afraid of these ninjas that looked quite different than usual. He was simply curious, wanting to know just how terrifying they were.However, when Joven and the others saw them, all of them could feel the chills down their spines. He
In Joven's perspective, no matter how powerful and indomitable Harvey was, there was no way back for him. The Seven Families of Grand City would never protect him!Harvey alone could not take the Sky Plane's full vengeance. Originally, Joven was going to ask for leniency on Harvey's behalf. At the very least, he would make him apologize by killing himself and not involving everyone else.But from the looks of it, that path was severed. Harvey's ending had already been decided."Alright, stop howling." Harvey ignored Joven, who was plotting something, and simply looked at Kuro casually. "Do you want to inject yourselves with a few more syringes, or do you want to fight me now? I suggest you give yourself a few more injections. At this level, it still isn't enough. I'm worried I'll end up killing you in one strike again, and that will make me even more sinful if I make both of you die together."Hearing Harvey's words, Kuro was so angry that he coughed a mouthful of blood. All the Is
"No!"At this critical moment, Kuro suddenly appeared from the side. He found a longsword somewhere and immediately shattered the rock Harvey had seemingly kicked over casually. And then, he held the longsword in his hand and stood right before his sister.Not only were Kuro's eyes blood-red, but the veins under his skin also continuously throbbed. One could see that there were a few injection marks on his hands.His aura once again shrouded him, but it seemed to carry a shade of madness this time. He stared at Harvey viciously and spoke, "You forced me… You forced me to do this!"Harvey was calm when he replied, "I didn't force you to take any forbidden medicine and didn't force you to inject yourself with Country's A genetic serum. As for what will happen when you stack these two together, it also has nothing to do with me. However, you did all this just so you can defeat me, right? Unfortunately, you still can't defeat me even then. To you, you did everything you could. But to m
"Fool… Harvey, you fool! How dare you commit murder in broad daylight? Do you know the price that Grand City had to pay for every person you kill?" questioned Joven in feigned disappointment. "Stop now and be prepared to be arrested!"Harvey calmly replied, "Mark and I had a fair fight, but these Islanders wanted to assassinate me after that. Is it wrong for me to defend myself? If you ask me, Joven, you should think about how to explain this to the seven families after so many things have happened. I don't believe the higher-ups of the seven families will continue letting an Island Nation worshipper like you stay in that spot."After hearing Harvey's callous words, Joven suddenly shuddered. He had been filled with anger, and he forgot about this. If whatever happened today had been exposed, he would be in a lot of trouble."You're useless, Joven! We wasted our time on you!" Mikan could no longer stop herself. She remembered her grudge against Harvey and no longer cared about anythi
Mark took his last breath with unwilling resignation as his last thought was about warning Sky Plane regarding Harvey.There was only silence now.Who was the person who died?He was the most senior among the Sky Plane's Origin Fist students. He was the envoy who came from Sky Plane to Grand City not long ago. It was said that he came here intending to complete plenty of missions. He was also said to receive plenty of unbelievable rewards if he succeeded in them.But no one expected that he would lose in this battle that he was supposed to win, and he even lost his life.That…Kuro and the others were all filled with anger. They felt like their worldview had collapsed. All of them looked at Harvey as they shuddered, unable to speak. All the practitioners of the Origin Fist looked like someone important to them had just died.Joven and the other members from the Peacekeeping Agency were utterly stunned. Joven had said so much, and Harvey was ready to step back, but how did things
"That's right. You need to apologize and acknowledge your crimes! Otherwise, what happens next isn't our fault!" added Kuro as he came to a realization. He quickly pulled out a small vial and crushed it, then took the pill inside. Then, popping sounds could be heard from his body as his wounds were being forcefully healed.At the same time, with just a look, he immediately signaled the practitioners of the Origin Fist to prepare to attack together.Mark coldly smiled as he crawled back up when he saw all his peers begin to take their pills. "I admit that you're powerful, Harvey. But unfortunately, it's useless no matter how powerful you are. You will bend your knee and apologize to me today. I will also report your secrets to our higher-ups in Sky Plane as soon as I get back. We will think of a way to deal with you!"And when the time comes, we will kill everyone around you one by one before finally ending you. We'll make sure that you die a horrible death!" Mark was once again fill
