Harvey glared back at Monica. “Idiot.”“You bastard! How dare you insult me?” Monica screamed in anger. She was brimming with unbridled fury.A frosty aura seeped out of her, and she pressed her hand on her long sword. As she slowly closed up her fingers, a fierce aura resembling a massive tornado burst all over the place.It was a terrifying and shocking sight.Even Soren froze from confusion; he didn’t expect Monica to get so much stronger after inheriting the Nobita family’s martial arts!Darwin couldn’t help but feel impressed; Jakai must’ve taught her everything he knew. Her strength had already increased at an exponential level. Not just Shay—even Darwin knew he was no match against Monica.“As expected for the mistress to be this fierce!”“Looks like she’ll break through as a God of War in under three years!”“The Island Nations will have another one soon enough!”“All hail the Island Nations!”Her companions looked at her, awed. They didn’t think that Monica was actua
“Is that so?“How dare you side with evil?!“You must have a death wish!”Monica couldn’t be bothered to say anything more; she took a step forward, and swung her sword right at Harvey.It was a terrifying sight.Her speed increased threefold, ready to cut Harvey in half.Shay hurriedly pulled out her nun chucks again, and stood in front of Harvey.Clang!Shay was sent flying once again; she only managed to stay on foot with Darwin’s help. Even so, blood still gushed out of her mouth.She was headstrong; she swallowed her blood and regained her footing, ready to take action once more.“You people from the Heaven’s Gate are as useless as ever, Shay!” Monica screeched. “Your family especially so! The Heaven’s Fist is just a joke to me!”Monica pointed at Shay, her eyes narrowed, and her expression filled with pride.“I’m warning you one last time: leave right now! Stop being an eyesore! If not, I can’t guarantee your survival!”The Islanders glared at Harvey, not bothered to
After all, everyone could see that against Monica, Shay was no different from a dying dog…And yet, Harvey was telling her to fight with her bare hands.How was this possible?!Everything felt like a dream!The Islanders looked at Harvey scornfully, as if they were embarrassed for him. Not just them—Darwin and Soren looked at each other in disbelief as well.‘He wants Shay to fight back?’‘How is that even possible?’‘Why is he that confident?’‘Even if he’s a God of War, he wouldn’t be able to do something like that, right?’‘Besides, Monica is on another level!’‘It’d be a miracle if Shay can touch her!’‘Harvey wants Shay to cripple Monica in three moves?’‘That’s just unrealistic!’At that moment, Monica’s expression turned scornful.She had seen quite a lot of ignorant and crazy people in her life…but it was rare for her to see someone on Harvey’s level.Everyone looked at Harvey as if they were watching an idiot making a fool of himself.They finally understood wh
Not only was Monica Vaus completely shocked…Even Darwin Gibson and Soren Braff froze. They had no idea what had just happened.Nobody thought that Shay Gibson could take out Monica that easily!This was just unheard of!It was so unbelievable that it felt like a dream.Shay was also completely perplexed.She instinctively did as Harvey York told her, but she did not expect that she would be this quick!It was a terrifying sight to see her hidden martial arts at such a level!She was exhilarated!“I don’t believe this!“Die!”Monica did not give in despite her rage and embarrassment. Her hands were completely crushed, but not her legs.She spun around to break free from Shay’s hold before fiercely kicking Shay’s head.A quick and decisive strike!As expected from the Island Nations’ martial arts.“Medial Split!” exclaimed Harvey calmly.Shay quickly reacted to his words. She stepped forward before sliding to the ground, then kicked to the side.The kick landed right on
The Islanders were unsatisfied after slapping themselves in the face. They even looked at each other before slapping themselves to ensure they were not dreaming.Their faces were completely swollen when they looked at Harvey York with shock and disbelief, thinking they saw the most unbelievable thing.Soren Braff and Darwin Gibson gasped with solemn expressions as well.Not only was Harvey well-versed in martial arts and geomancy arts…He even got Shay Gibson to fight this impressively with just a few simple instructions.People like that were extremely rare.The two decided to cling to Harvey no matter what.They did not want him to be their enemy. They would die horrible deaths if that were the case!Harvey would be enough to put them at ease while giving their enemies despair.As for Shay, she was filled with admiration and praise when she looked at Harvey. She could not believe that such a person actually existed in the world.“One of the top ten in the Island Nations’ yo
After all, even an expert like Monica Vaus was completely crushed.Their lame kung fu would not do any good.They would only make fools out of themselves.They decided that they were going to run away instead.“Did I say that you can leave?”Harvey York clapped his hands, signaling for Shay Gibson and the others to stop the Islanders in their tracks.“We already gave up, Harvey! What else do you want?!”An Islander was furious. He thought he had already given Harvey a lot of respect, yet the feeling was not reciprocated.“I didn’t want anything, but you people wasted so much of my time. I wasn’t surprised by any of you either. I should at least find something worthwhile for my own sake, right?“How about this? I won’t take advantage of you cowards.“Break one of your arms and leave.“Of course, you can decide otherwise, but I’ll break both your arms.”“You better get it straight, Harvey! We’re all nobility from the Island Nations. We have diplomatic immunity! You’ll pay if
“Father and Mother said you wouldn’t dare come anymore since you couldn’t bring Mandy justice!“But you came!“Did Chiba Nobita and the others get what they deserved?”Xynthia Zimmer was excited.Harvey York leaked a smile.“Of course. They got their punishment.“Chiba won’t show up in front of you ever again.“You and the family are safe.”“That’s great!”Xynthia dragged Harvey along when she hopped into the elevator.“Father and Mother aren’t here today. I’m the only one with Mandy.“You should use this chance to talk to her.”The elevator came to the inpatient department floor.Harvey sighed without explaining anything.“Harvey’s here, Mandy!“It’s been a while since you two had some alone time! You should talk to him!“I’ll go out for a midnight snack! Don’t worry!“I’m being thoughtful! I won’t bother you two!”Xynthia shut the door as she giggled.But the moment she did, the smile on her face was immediately replaced by a hint of gloom when she forced herself t
“I want you to leave the city with me!” whispered Mandy Zimmer.“We’ll go as far as we can.“We’ll live where nobody knows us, okay?”Harvey York froze. He had once thought of the same thing but could not leave under such circumstances.Mandy’s body froze, as if she saw Harvey’s reluctance.“You don’t want to?”Harvey kept quiet for a moment.“I do, but at least wait until I finish my business in Golden Sands.”“Golden Sands?“What do you still have to do with this place?“Is it because of Kairi Patel? Or is it about Dayna?”Mandy chuckled coldly with an unspeakably sorrowful expression.“You’re just scum after all, Harvey!“Father and Mother said you’ve been thinking about Xynthia lately!“I even fought for you!“And yet what happened?!“Hmph!”Right as Mandy was about to lash out again, the door was slammed open.Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates showed up together.Lilian’s gaze was filled with pride as she glared at Harvey with a cold expression.“I told you I was r
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
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
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
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.
"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
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.
Just as Harvey was thinking about who was behind this, his phone suddenly started to buzz. He picked it up—there was only one message."Interesting," Harvey said with a deep smile as he read it. "It's George. After his investigation, the one leading the task force has a really clean background. However, when he was at university, he was fully sponsored by a charity fund belonging to the Jeans of Mordu."After his graduation, the speed he gets promoted is also much faster than his peers around the same age. No matter how I looked at it, someone had been giving him a boost. However, is this the result of Mandy going over to Purdue Mountain? It doesn't look like Zayden, as the patriarch of one of the top ten families, wants to calm things down…"Feels like he wants to make things even worse. How is this going to benefit the Jeans of Mordu?"Yvonne narrowed her eyes slightly. "At the very least," she said, "there are two ways they can benefit from this. Firstly, it's to clarify their
The next day.The estate in the third ring of Wolsing.Harvey had originally planned to go to Mordu at night when Mandy called him. She told him everything that happened in Geraldton Hotel had been settled. Zayden's side would make a move and demand a direct explanation from them for what happened.Harvey was quite shocked when he heard this.The leader of the Jeans of Mordu had been too discreet, so much so that this was the first time he heard about this name. But the problem was, Harvey didn't believe that the Jeans of Mordu who had been making things difficult for Mandy all this while would suddenly make a move without cause.However, Mandy kept on telling Harvey that everything was over. She would keep Xynthia in Mordu for a few more days. Once the dust had settled, she would then send Xynthia back to Wolsing.Hearing Mandy so confident with herself, Harvey decided not to say anything else. That being said, he still her Mandy that if anything happened, she must tell him imme
"In other words, you don't have to worry about this. I'll take care of it," Zayden said. "As for the Ninth Branch, that's the fruit of your labor. At least, I don't see anyone has the right to replace you as the head. Unless you have made a very serious mistake, your status as the head of the Ninth Branch is guaranteed. Remember, never say something like giving up your spot as the head ever again."Top families like the Jeans of Mordu have their own rules. There are certain positions that can't be taken just because you wanted to, and there are those that you can't leave just as easily as well."Mandy was stunned after she heard Zayden's criticism of her. Then, she nodded. "Understood. Thank you for your lesson, sir. I will do everything I can in the service of the family."Mandy wasn't that surprised to see that Zayden was willing to make a personal appearance. Since Kyros didn't show any respect to the Jeans of Mordu, Zayden needed to make a show of force once things reached thi
