Even though Garry Duncan was shocked, he was still the Mixed Martial Arts Champion. Under those circumstances, there was no way he wouldn't be sensitive about his reputation.He covered his face and stood up, then glared at Aiden Bauer.“Who do you think you are, Aiden?“You should know that you wouldn’t even stand a chance if I go against you, not even if there’s ten of you!”Slap!Aiden did not waste time talking and slapped Garry across his face, making him stumble backward.“Mixed Martial Arts Champion, are you?!“Are you even that good?!“If you are really as good as they say, then show me!”Aiden had already acknowledged himself as Harvey York’s lackey. Since there was a chance to show off his prowess before his master, he would naturally do his best.“You…”Garry covered his face once again. He never thought that Aiden would disrespect him like this.The others gathered around were dumbfounded when they saw the sight.One was a highly influential vice branch leader
Aiden Bauer immediately froze after hearing Hazel Malone’s words, then looked back at Harvey York while feeling utterly terrified.To Hazel and the other influencers, Aiden was stunned entirely by Hazel’s words.She felt like she had regained her backbone at this moment.“Young Master Bauer. I know that you’re a big character, but you should hurry up and apologize after offending Young Master Duncan himself! Just slap yourself in the face and be done with it already!” said Hazel without pause.“If not, you’ll die an excruciating death if Young Master Duncan decides to go all out!”Before Aiden could even react, Garry Duncan’s expression frantically changed.“Ms. Malone’s right. If it weren’t for me trying to avoid trouble for the sake of the Smith family, I could’ve easily dodged your slaps!“I won’t argue with you for your branch leader’s sake, Young Master Bauer, but please know your limits from now on!”Even though Garry’s face was completely swollen, he still pretended to b
Even before Garry Duncan was done talking, another person came up to him and slapped Garry with his backhand.The person was none other than Chief Leonard Bray himself.He did not pay Garry any respect at all. At that moment, trails of blood were seeping out of Garry’s mouth.He became enraged after stumbling a few steps backward while covering his mouth.“You bastard! How dare you hit me?!“You have to give me a fair statement for this, Chief Leonard!“If not, I’ll flatten the Bray Temple once I’m done here!”“You dare provoke Young Master Duncan, Chief Leonard?!” Hazel Malone screamed after seeing what had just happened.“Did you forget already? Did you forget what you did when we had vegetarian food in the temple?“Did you forget the things that you did at the parking lot?“Did you forget how strong Young Master Duncan actually is?!”Chief Leonard calmly glared at Hazel, then coldly replied, “You’re lucky I don’t hit women. If not, I would’ve already crippled you first!
Garry Duncan was filled with fear and anger. He knew full well that there was no way to bail out Harvey York with Kristan Duncan’s status alone.He was just using the opportunity to show off that day.Apparently, it was impossible for him to find someone who could bail Harvey out!At least the Mordu Central Police Station chief inspector would suffice, but Garry didn’t even know anyone like that.Hazel Malone was utterly shocked while seeing the sight. She obviously knew who Yona Lynch was, but she didn’t expect that she would stand up for Harvey as well.Hazel and the others were dumbfounded. All of them became fearful of Harvey at that moment.They never thought that the country bumpkin they wholly despised would have a status and position way beyond their wildest imaginations.Before Hazel could say anything else, Yona held onto Harvey’s arm and whispered, “Sir York, today’s a big day.“You don’t have to waste time on these small fries.“Let’s head in front.”Harvey glance
While Hazel Malone was still hating on the fact that Harvey York was a kept man…Harvey had already sat on the main table in the front hall with Yona Lynch and the others.Quite a few familiar faces were seated on the same table. Yona, Chief Leonard Bray, and Justin Walker, among other people, were present.Benjamin Lynch and Otis Kye should’ve been here by now, but there were specific rules that government officials needed to follow. They should’ve been in their separate box entertained by Zeke Smith himself.Even though Harvey felt a little odd, he didn’t speak about it either. He passionately greeted every person at the same table as him.Harvey realized that there were two empty seats after.One must’ve belonged to the wealthiest person in Gangnam, Jaden Smith.The other had the name “Jean” written on it.After thinking for a while, Harvey realized that the empty seat must’ve been reserved for the Jean family.Mordu’s Jean family was also listed as one of the top ten famil
“Since Terry Smith is titled as one of the Six Princes of Mordu, it should be enough to prove his strength.“He won’t hand over his authority and let Zeke Smith rise to power that easily.“That’s why tonight’s banquet will not be ending that soon.“If Zeke rises to power, both the Thompson family and the Jean family will suppress the Smith family with all their might.“If Terry gains authority instead, the Smith family, one of the top ten families of Mordu, might just turn into servants for Wolsing’s Thompson family.“No matter how you look at it, it won’t end well for the Smith family.”Harvey York slightly squinted. As expected from a member from one of the top ten families, Yona Lynch. She had way more inside information about those things compared to the others.“Is there really no other way to deal with this?” Harvey curiously asked.“Yes, there is.”Yona nodded.“But it’s too complicated.”“What is it?”“Senior Smith still holds all authority of the Smith family for t
Yvonne Xavier frowned as she strode toward the hall, then stopped when she was about forty feet away from those people with white shirts.After shifting her gaze toward the young man holding a portrait, Yvonne frowned.“This is the Smith family’s household, Mister. My grandfather, the richest man in Gangnam, is hosting his birthday banquet tonight.“It’s completely unreasonable for you to wear mourning clothes and cause such a huge ruckus while carrying someone’s portrait here, is it not?!”Yvonne made a gesture while she was speaking. Guards of the Smith family all appeared out of nowhere and completely surrounded the entire place, coldly glaring at the people.The man handed the portrait to his subordinate beside him, then walked forward while crossing his arms. After lighting up a thin and long cigar and taking a puff from it, he then coldly exclaimed, “Ms. Xavier, correct?“Let me introduce myself. My name is Alec Cloude, and the person in the portrait is my father.“I came
“Alec Cloude. Young Master Cloude, correct?”Harvey York stood up and walked toward the crowd at this moment, shielding Yvonne Xavier behind him.“I have no interest in your grudge against the Smith family, nor do I care to know.“But no matter what you’re going to do, don’t you think that it’s a little too rude to be causing such huge trouble on Senior Smith’s big day?“I don’t care if you’re seeking revenge or if you’re just here causing trouble. Just show up on your own if that’s the case.“What’s the point of making such a grand entrance?“Do you really think that the Smith family is that easily suppressed?“I don’t care how you deal with the Smith family.“But, if you as much as even lay a finger on Yvonne, don’t blame me for killing off every single one of you.”Harvey showed no emotion, but his words were terrifyingly savage.Many people were shocked while looking at Harvey after hearing those words.His opponents were people from the Little Dwelling, after all. They
"That's her, Big bro! According to my spy, he said Juliana is no longer hiding it and cheats openly! I didn't want to believe it, but from the looks of it, she's been cheating all this time!" Alexei said to Harvey. He was so upset that he almost cried.Harvey frowned. "That's all you know? What else do you have?"Alexei quickly took out his phone. "My spy has just sent me all the information. Juliana went to Lost City for further studies, and she studied well. Originally, according to the promise made, she should already be back about half a month ago so we could get married. However, she got to know this man called Hawk John at her graduation party. The two became fast friends. She even announced that they're best friends forever!"I thought they were just ordinary friends, but from the looks of it… That isn't it at all! Forget hiding it, Juliana's directly taking him back! I hate this!" Alexei slammed his chest, as if he were in a lot of pain.Harvey was speechless. "Seriou
Harvey's eyes started to twitch as he immediately gave Alexei a look. It was a call for help.Alexei shrugged. There was nothing he could do. However, it was exactly at this time that his phone suddenly started to vibrate. He gave it a weird look and picked it up. Then, he was stunned… He was practically frozen. No longer caring about anything, Alexei immediately ran over to Harvey and hugged his legs tightly. "Bro! Big bro! You have to help me! You must!"Alexei instantly started crying.Harvey promptly bent down and held Alexei's shoulder. As if he had found a way out, he said solemnly, "Don't worry, Alexei. I've always treated you like my own little brother. Your problem is also my problem. Even if the world is collapsing, I will protect you. So, stop worrying!"Alexei was so touched that he couldn't stop himself from weeping. "You're treating me so well, Big bro, even after I sold you out to my Senior…"Harvey's eyes twitched again. "We're family! What can I say? Let's
Harvey's eyes instinctively twitched. "It belongs to me, so why can't I stay here?"Vaida said worriedly, "Now that Grand City is so chaotic and the Sacred Lands are on the verge of getting into a fight, it's really dangerous if you stay outside. Both my father and I are worried about you. So… Shouldn't you move back?"Harvey led Vaida into the living room and said with a smile, "Don't overthink things, Vaida. It's exactly because things are getting unruly that I should stay in Dragon Gate Training Hall to be a stabilizing presence as their scion, right? Not to mention, I've bothered all of you too much all this time. I have too much going on. If I stay there, it will only bother the mayor, Mr. Wenzel, and Mr. Geoffrey. So, it's better if I stay at my own place."However, Harvey paused when he reached this part of the conversation. "Of course, if there's a need, all you need to do is to give me a call and I'll be there."Vaida nodded. "Harvey, other than the reason you've given us
Mandy was a little startled, then looked at Harvey with a strange look. "You're in such a rush to get rid of me? Don't tell me you really want to be the mayor's son-in-law? I've been here less than a day, and there are already plenty of people warning me about you becoming one."Harvey rolled his eyes. "Don't listen to their nonsense. If I really wanted to be his son-in-law, I wouldn't have gone to save you.""Then why are you in such a rush to send me away?"Harvey sighed. "There are really some things that are beyond my abilities. Let's use what happened this time with Clarion as an example. It's true that I let him take the glory, but after doing that, Dan now considers me an enemy and a thorn in his side. "As a member of the Top Ten Families, you have some understanding of him, don't you? Since he can't deal with me effectively, he'll definitely start with you. The reason I'm asking you to leave is for your own safety."Mandy clicked her tongue. "If Dan really wants to do
Emery slowly flipped and opened the Chapter of Ascension. The Chapter itself was old, written with small letters. Accompanied the original texts were notes and some insights.Emery only believed a portion of the rumors regarding the Chapter of Ascension. After reading through the notes and personal reflections, he could ascertain that the Chapter of Ascension was genuine.What was written inside the Chapter of Ascension was indeed capable of completely changing a martial artist's way of thinking.As he read through it, Emery was already subconsciously trying to test and start training by following what was recorded within the Chapter of Ascension. He had just started to let the energy inside of him flow, but had already noticed that his power, that reached a bottleneck for some time, started to have a breakthrough.In just an instant, Emery could already feel somewhat stronger. It was only a small amount, but it was enough to excite him. It meant that the Chapter of Ascension w
The Wright residence, Wolsing.When Janus got out of a Rolls-Royce Cullinan, it was around midnight. He looked around carefully before quickly entering a courtyard within the residence, holding a wooden box.He walked through the corridors with full familiarity and entered a study.Emery, the Number One Young Master of Wolsing, was quietly holding a piece of gemstone, brushing it against his thumb.Janus didn't run in. Instead, he waited until Emery was done looking at the gemstone before entering. "Good evening, sir."Emery raised his head and glanced at Janus. "So? Did you get it?"Janus smiled. "Is there anything in this world you want that we can't get for you?"He carefully put the small box on the coffee table and smiled."While Harvey and that idiot Hale are all quite good," he said, "they're all pawns playing to your tune. This time, with Daichi working for us and Sky Plane suffering such a huge loss, we finally have it in our hands. If those monsters from Sky Plane kne
Night fell by the time Harvey and the others returned to Grand City.Kenta had already left midway. It was obvious that he knew following Harvey and the others was pointless now.In the meantime, before returning to Grand City, Harvey had already instructed Clarion to spread the news of Origin Sword Style's extermination back to Grand City and how Earth Hall was instrumental in its destruction.By the time Clarion returned to Grand City, he was immediately enthusiastically welcomed back home. Initially, many people had an issue with him suddenly becoming the leader of Earth Hall. However, they did not expect Clarion to be able to single-handedly handle one of the main pillars of Sky Plane, the Origin Sword Style school shortly after he led the Earth Hall.While many did not know what actually transpired, Clarion and his team brought Isoroku's body back to Grand City. Taking Isoroku's body back was a great achievement on its own as it also means that Sky Plane's overall power would
Isoroku immediately crumpled on the ground. The arrogant master of the Origin Sword Style suddenly surrendered and killed himself. There was only bitterness and regret on his face, as if regretting why he did not simply stay and train in isolation. That way, he would not meet the person before him… Harvey.However, no matter how much regret he had, he needed to commit suicide.That was because he knew very well that Harvey had revealed to him his true identity. If he refused to die, Harvey would turn around and completely wipe out the Origin Sword Style. Now that he decisively made such a decision, Harvey would not return to Sky Plane.Harvey looked at Isoroku's body. With a smirk, he said, "That's why I don't like others to find out who I really am." Then, Harvey planted his foot on Isoroku's longsword. There was a loud clang, and the longsword instantly shattered. Its fragments fired in all directions.All the Origin Sword Style elites had been eradicated completely.A few minut
Isoroku's blade slashed downward. It was so fast that it was barely visible to the naked eye. However, before it could even touch Harvey's body, Isoroku suddenly saw him raise his right hand and flicked, hitting the blade when it was just starting to get close.Clang!It was an extremely simple move. However, Harvey's flick reached the blade first, and he immediately parried the attack. Isoroku's entire body shuddered, and his heart skipped a beat. He thought he was already victorious, but he was left with a shocked expression.He raised his blade and wanted to attempt another attack, but he could not do anything for a long while. Harvey was simply standing there with a calm expression. The two of them were close to each other, and Harvey looked like he was completely exposed. However, for someone like Isoroku, when someone was completely exposed, it also meant that he was not exposed at all. If he was not exposed, his blade could not slash downward at him anymore."You… You must h
