“Kneel and beg for it,” Harvey replied, calm.“If you do, I’ll give you a chance to save them.”‘Kneel?!’‘Beg?!’Everyone was shocked to hear those words. Even Fabian, Morgan, and the others, who were having breakfast with Harvey, couldn’t stop their jaws from dropping.‘What’s going on?!’‘Did he just say he wanted the fourth princess to kneel?!’For a long time, The Empire was the strongest country of them all.Even though the fourth successor of the throne probably had no chance sitting on the throne, her status was still immensely powerful.When the fourth princess traveled on behalf of The Empire, she would still be treated like the leader of a nation.The citizens and even royalty would pay their respects to her.Some would even write an entire speech a month prior, just to say a few words in front of her.Everyone would be terrified to offend the fourth princess and The Empire.Yet, Harvey demanded her to kneel and apologize.This was no longer a challenge.This
Everyone was baffled over the turn of events.When Hong Kong was once ruled by The Empire, even the governor would have to kneel on the side of the street just to welcome the princesses…Yet now, Harvey was the one demanding The Empire’s fourth princess to kneel!To top it off, he looked as if this was just par for the course. He hadn’t shown not even an ounce of respect to the fourth princess!Not only was her pampered ego being rightfully bashed, but The Empire’s royal family was also being ridiculed.At this very moment, the fourth princess was boiling with anger.At the same time, she knew full well that Harvey was forcing her into a corner.If she knelt, she would end up in Harvey’s hands sooner or later.And if everyone were to catch wind of what happened, her reputation within The Empire would be completely tarnished.“How dare you insult me, you b*stard?!”The fourth princess was utterly enraged.She let out a cold shrill laugh before kicking Harvey’s dining table.
“Let’s not talk about stuff that far ahead…”“After you tried to assassinate Lady Judd with your men last night, I should just end your life with a single slap right now.”“And I guarantee you that The Empire won’t even dare make a single sound after you die!”“Do you want to try?”Harvey’s expression was as cold as ice.The noble status of The Empire’s royal family meant nothing to him.“For the sake of Princess Victoria, I’ll give you one more chance.”“You either kneel, or you get out.”“Choose yourself.”“You’re beyond arrogant!”A blonde member of the Knights Templar screamed, unable to hold back his anger anymore.His companions were already sent flying, but after seeing his princess being humiliated, he gritted his teeth and stomped forward without hesitation.The Knights Templar were sworn to protect their princess. They would never sit and watch as their princess was being put down.“Roosevelt! Stand down!”The fourth princess, however, immediately stopped her su
This was humiliation!Utter humiliation!At this very moment, Roosevelt’s face was twisted into a horrible expression.He tried to get back up, but the strength in his knees disappeared after just a glance at Harvey’s calm gaze.His entire body was warning him that he would only die if he forced himself up.Harvey completely ignored the knight kneeling on the ground, and shifted his gaze toward the fourth princess.“Fourth Princess. Looks like your knight knows how to read the room better than you.”“You have three seconds…”“B*stard!”“You’ve crossed the line!”Several knights pounced forward while shouting furiously at Harvey.But before they could do anything, Edwin immediately showed up with a group of guards to stop them.“One second…” Harvey said casually, continuing to count. It was as if he didn’t see everything that had happened.“If you’re still not choosing, then I’m sorry, but I’ll have to do it for you…”“Damn you! Damn you!”The fourth princess was shiverin
Harvey wiped his hands before giving her a calm reply. “Business isn’t done this way, princess.”“Before we talk about letting the people go, shouldn’t we first decide whether Jason’s going to die or not?”“Don’t forget! According to the contract, his life is mine. He’s my servant. He bites whoever I tell him to.”“If you want him to live, then kill Vince in exchange.”“If he dies, Jason lives. The deal’s still on. I have no intention to call it off.”The fourth princess took a deep breath.“I know you’re trying to turn Hong Kong and Las Vegas’s wealthy families against The Empire, Harvey.”“That way, The Empire would have no way to meddle in the affairs here.”“Your plan to end Vince’s life using Jason is pretty cunning, I admit.”“That said, you’re overestimating me.”“I don’t represent The Empire’s royal family.”“Even if I go against everyone here, it doesn’t mean that they’re turning against The Empire.”“The Empire’s connection with Hong Kong and Las Vegas is really d
“Do you not understand me, Harvey?!”The fourth princess’s tone had become slightly colder.“Didn’t I just tell you?”“Number one: there’s no point in killing Vince!”“Number two: I don't even have enough power to take him down!”“You can name any other request!”“As long as it’s not out of my reach, I’ll satisfy you!”The fourth princess slightly gritted her teeth, as if she had come to a conclusion.“Even if you want to do strange things with me, I’ll fulfill your wishes!”The fourth princess revealed her pale shoulder to show her sincerity.“Sorry. You’re not worthy.”Harvey chuckled calmly.“I have no interest in being a third wheel.”“Also, you have no say in whether there’s a point in killing Vince. I call the shots here.”“Even if I can’t break off The Empire’s connection to Hong Kong’s wealthy families, as long as I’m happy, you’ll have to find a way to deal with him.”“If you can’t even kill Vince, how am I supposed to trust you?”“I’ll believe you when Vince i
“Send them out!”After making another pot of Black Tea, Harvey calmly waved his hand, not bothered to show the fourth princess even an ounce of respect.“Harvey York!”The fourth princess gritted her teeth; she wanted to lash out, but she restrained herself with all her might.She wanted to throw her tea at Harvey, but she had no choice but to hold back her anger. She knew the consequences of doing such a thing would be dire.After coldly glaring at Harvey for a good few minutes, the fourth princess stormed out of the place.A few minutes later, she was sitting in the back of her extended Rolls Royce with an extremely gloomy look.A handsome and elegant secretary handed her a glass of champagne respectfully.“Fourth Princess, what should we do now?”The fourth princess’s expression darkened instantly.“Assemble the Knights of the Round Table!” she exclaimed.The Knights of the Round Table were elites selected within the Knights Templar.If the Knights Templar were considere
Queenie seemed to have understood what Harvey wanted.“If that’s the case, should we tighten our defenses?” she asked with a warm smile.“If we don’t, the fourth princess will surely join forces with Vince to deal with us if she manages to rescue her men.”“That’s fine. I have plans for that already,” Harvey said calmly.“Her authority’s pretty limited. She can only rely on the descendants of Country H within The Empire at this point.”“Even with the Knights of the Round Table, there’s no way she can even get close to her men while I’m here.”Queenie nodded, and then began to ponder over the situation.“If there’s no way to save them, she might just get a few hostages of her own to trade with you.”“You’re already out of the picture. With the elites of the Yorks of Hong Kong next to you, nobody can even lay a finger on you.”“Leslie has the entire government of Hong Kong with her…”“Yoana has the Dragon Palace…”“Irene has Longmen’s branch…”“Zina has the Hamilton family…”
"It's almost my turn, right?" After Harvey parried Sverker's attack easily, Harvey made his move and jumped into the air. The longsword in his hand swung down.The most powerful martial arts in this world were the ones that were the fastest.This attack was not complex at all, but just one look was enough to strike fear into one's heart. Especially Ghostface. When he saw Harvey's attack, there was an indescribable fear within him. He had a feeling that, if Harvey wanted, he could easily kill him on the spot.And then, he also understood that when Harvey was fighting him, he probably did not even use 70% of his full power."Will of the Blade!" When Harvey saw the attack, Sverker's expression also turned into shock. He had practiced the use of a sword for many years, but he never awakened to the Will of the Blade. He did not expect that Harvey would have awakened to it despite his young age!Whoosh!Sverker did not dare to face such a simple but terrifying attack head-on. All he co
Sverker smiled at Harvey, as if he had sensed Harvey staring at him. Then, he turned to look at Ghostface once more. "If you want me to do something about this, there won't be any problems. But remember. After this, I will lead all the operations in Grand City. The Origin Ninjas will be my subordinates."Ghostface's expression darkened a little, but he promptly replied, "That's fine. I agree on everyone's behalf.""Good. Remember your promise."After that, Sverker took another step forward. He immediately landed and stood on the hilt of one of the longswords impaled into the ground. His hands were behind him, looking like a peerless grandmaster.He proudly looked at Harvey before chuckling and asked, "You're the representative of the Country H Martial Arts Alliance, Harvey, am I correct? I heard you're the most powerful man in the alliance. But now that I get to see you in person, you look quite ordinary. Even if you're strong, you probably don't have the brain power since you walk
After giving it a few more looks, Harvey ignored the surroundings, and his gaze fell on Ghostface's figure ahead.When Ghostface had reached about a few hundred feet into the forest, he suddenly raised his hand, and a small repeating crossbow appeared in his hand. He did not even turn around and immediately pulled the trigger at where Harvey would be.Whoosh!Harvey's expression was calm. When he saw the bolts flying toward him, he simply stomped his foot on the ground. The rocks fired upward and instantly deflected all the bolts.Ghostface's expression changed once more when his attack was deflected, and he quickly retreated. Ghostface was escaping increasingly faster because it was obvious that he knew he would die a terrible death if he ended up in Harvey's hands.Harvey narrowed his eyes as he followed Ghostface without rushing. That was because Ghostface's actions were too intentional, as if he was worried that Harvey would not follow him at all. That was why, despite Harvey
Ghostface instantly slammed to the ground. He got on his knees and coughed out a mouthful of blood after a long time, and only then did he stand up with a dark expression."Gah!"When he stood up, blood was trickling from the edge of his lips. His chest was heaving visibly, and he was in a terrible state. He was critically wounded by one hit, and that alone could tell just how powerful Harvey was.Meanwhile, Harvey could not be bothered to waste his breath with Ghostface anymore. He instantly jumped out and slammed his fist once again.Whoosh!Suddenly, a few ninjas appeared from their surroundings. It was obvious they saw Ghostface was at a disadvantage. But they were kicked away by Harvey when they had just gotten close. The ninjas from the Island Nations meant nothing when faced with Harvey when he was being serious."Quick! Use the Martial Arts Weapons!" Ghostface's expression darkened once more when he saw Harvey was unstoppable and yelled out to his subordinates. Ghostface
A sharp, piercing pain immediately filled Harvey's entire being as he felt a huge needle had stabbed into his left arm. While there was no actual injury, the pain was excruciating. But the pain was not physical, it was from deep within his soul.When Ghostface saw Harvey's expression, he widened his eyes as he once again spat more fresh blood from the tip of his tongue on the doll, and the doll convulsed even harder. After that, Ghostface could only let out a cold laugh as he once again picked up the needle and this time, pinned it on the doll's chest.A shapeless pain began to spread in Harvey's being, and this time, it was heading straight to his chest.Harvey's expression changed again. Just what kind of a curse was this? How could it have had such an effect? As the needle went deeper, Harvey could start to sense the pain in his chest. He suspected that when the needle completely went into the doll, his heart would burst open.At that moment, even Harvey had to sign in admiratio
As the gigantic fireball flew straight toward Harvey, he could feel that even the humidity in the air had completely evaporated. The scent of scorching heat permeated the air. Harvey retreated again and again. With every step he took, he would kick a few pieces of rocks right at the fireball, trying to make the fireball collapse on itself.Thud! Thud! Thud!The ball of fire that was rolling toward Harvey exploded before it could get close to him in the end due to the surging of the air currents. However, all the surrounding plant life had been scorched into dust by the powerful heatwave, as if someone had detonated an explosion in the scene.Harvey's eyes narrowed when he saw what had happened. This technique had already surpassed what one would normally call martial arts. It was bordering close to fantasy. It was the first time Harvey saw a killing technique like this.And so, Harvey retreated once more and maintained a safe distance between himself and Ghostface before looking cu
Clang!The dagger instantly shattered into pieces and shot out in all directions. Some even sliced century-old trees in half. After shattering the dagger, Harvey's fist did not stop. It continued to crash forward inevitably, surrounded with aura.Ghostface's expression immediately changed, and a ghost mask instantly appeared on his face, his aura once again strengthening.Crack!But before his aura could reach his height, a crack appeared on the ghost mask, which was cut into two. With Harvey suppressing Ghostface's aura, his ace in the hole was completely useless and meaningless."Impossible…" Ghostface muttered as he could feel the cold sweat on his skin and the hairs on his arm standing up. He continuously hurled all kinds of weapons with his hands. Daggers and darts were thrown repeatedly, and his figure kept retreating backward, wanting to stop the attack with everything at his disposal.Clang!The sounds of metal being shattered rang again. His resistance was futile. In th
Whoosh!As one of the most outstanding elites among the Origin Ninjas, Ghostface had always been extremely decisive in his actions. Before he had even finished speaking with Harvey, a dagger had already appeared in his hand. His figure flickered, and the dagger went straight for Harvey.Harvey whipped his right hand out, as if he was already expecting Ghostface would ambush him, and a branch from a tree that he took parried Ghostface's dagger.Clang!As their weapons clashed with each other, a loud clang rang. Harvey's figure wavered a little bit while Ghostface's figure was flung into the air, and he landed where he started.Ghostface was shocked that Harvey could deflect his ambush with just a tree branch. With a cold smile on his face, the aura around him became even more intense. While Harvey was quite powerful, he himself was not that weak either. Those who had reached this stage had an indomitable fighting spirit.Harvey was also quite surprised when he saw Ghostface's batt
This moment caused Djinn's expression to twist in shock as he instinctively took half a step backward. The dread on his face was obvious. Who could expect that the attack he put all his might… An attack that was so terrifying did nothing at all.Before Djinn could regain his footing, the Swarm Queen's figure moved again, and the blade in her hand slashed.Djinn's figure paused as his footsteps froze, and fear spread in his eyes. That was because the Swarm Queen's blue blade had already pierced into his chest.Spurt!Fresh blood spurt out from his wound. However, the blood was not scarlet red, but a brilliant blue…"You…" Djinn's expression twisted when he saw what happened. He was not suffering… He could not even feel the pain. Then, his body slowly began to sway before crumpling on the ground. His life was slowly being drained away.Djinn seemed to remember something.He blew his final breath and said, "You… You're Belladonna Cult's Guardian… The cult's most powerful ace…"-
