Trisha ignored the hundreds of people in the crowd and walked closer to Jaden.With each step, the temperature in the hall dropped by a few degrees. When she was about less than ten yards away from Jaden, the hall was as cold as winter.Several guards of the Smith family instinctively wanted to stop her, but before they managed to get close, daggers flew out and pierced their throats. They clutched their throats, shocked and appalled, before crumpling to the ground. Harvey frowned. He could see that the current Trisha was much stronger than when she was at the pier.She must have concealed her true prowess deliberately then.She was ranked one of the top three on the killer list. Seeing her skills right now, that was indeed a well-deserved reputation.Harvey took out his phone to send a message. He stopped Rachel before she was about to march forward and battle Trisha. He said to Trisha in a nonchalant tone, “Madame Cloude certainly deserves the praise. With such skills, even
“Rubbish!”Trisha’s expression could freeze even the North Pole. She waved her hand once more, and a ray of silver light shone between her fingers. They were pieces made of silver sand, and their shine instantly blinded the ten masters.A strange scent spread out and filled the air. It was highly potent and corrosive, and the guests subconsciously backed away in an attempt to avoid it. The ten masters pounced on Trisha, but the next moment, they froze. Their bodies convulsed, and all of a sudden, blood gushed out of their every pore. Within seconds, all of them crumbled and lay unconscious on the ground. They were the great masters as well as the true direct descendants of the Smith family, but none of them stood a chance against Trisha’s overpowering skills. Terrifying!Trisha’s strength could only be summed up with one word: terrifying.Harvey took a few steps back, his movement so subtle that no one took notice. He shielded Yvonne behind him, and narrowed his eyes at Tris
“You didn’t eat any?!”Trisha was astonished, but quickly regained her composure.“That’s fine too. Since you’re not crippled, I’ll do the honor of chopping your hands and feet with my own hands. The effect will be the same regardless.”Jaden smiled lightly. “I’m afraid getting my hands and feet won’t be as easy as you think.”“Let’s see. Do you think the gunmen you’re relying so heavily on are as obedient as you think?”So saying, Jaden snapped his fingers. As the crisp sound of his snapping fingers rang, the gunmen initially under Alec’s employ, who had aimed their firearms at the crowd, turned to aim at Trisha. In just one move, Trisha’s escape routes were all blocked. She had no way out.Trisha was shocked, and her expression turned for the worst. A moment of contemplation later, she sneered icily, “Nice one, Jaden! Great work, Terry!”“I didn’t expect you to join forces with your son and deceive me.”Jaden smiled, unperturbed. “I did set you up. The same can’t be said abou
Terry’s face changed suddenly and he shouted, “Old man, you’re shameless!”Trisha’s complexion changed as well. Her face, which was initially bitingly cold, turned pale.A wiser person could sense something was wrong based on the reactions of these two people.Jaden laughed. “There’s no point in arguing with me.”“Trisha. Your so-called revenge this time is not because of your hatred from twenty years ago, right?”“You’re actually here for this young man, right?”Listening to Jaden’s trivial words, Harvey and the rest understood.From the beginning to end, Jaden Smith was in control of everything.Whether it was the catastrophe faced by the Smith family, their life or death, as well as all of Terry’s previous actions…Everything was under Jaden’s control.Harvey himself was beginning to genuinely fear Jaden.Indeed, this old man deserved being the head of the top ten families.Ordinary people wouldn’t be able to fathom this old scamp’s thoughts and scheming.Trisha’s expre
“Trisha!”“No!”Terry was overwhelmed with shock and horror. He rushed out of his captors’ grasp like a madman, pouncing on Trisha’s still warm corpse. Jaden was faster and took a step forward before Terry could reach Trisha. With a loud bang, Jaden kicked Terry and trampled Terry on the ground under his foot, preventing Terry from moving. Everyone gasped, stunned. They expected Trisha would kill Jaden, but none of them imagined the opposite would happen. As it turned out, Jaden ended up killing the master assassin Trisha Cloude. He even followed up his actions by trampling his own son, Terry, with his foot.He was certainly a dark horse!His actions weren’t anything ordinary people could do.Harvey looked amused. This is the level of God of War!The head of the Smith family, Jaden Smith, was truly a master of the level of God of War.It seemed that Harvey had truly underestimated these top families.Benjamin, Chief Leonard Bray, and everyone else were astonished.
The crowd was shocked and dumbfounded.However, Harvey nonchalantly returned to his seat and continued eating indifferently.When he faced Grandma York, Melissa Leo before, he knew first hand how terrifying the heads of top families can be. But at the end of the day, the Yorks were simply an ordinary top family.They cannot compare to the Smiths, who were one of the top ten families. If Jaden weren’t competent, the Smiths would’ve long been devoured by their opponents. Jaden didn’t put on airs even after he had settled the messy conflict moments ago. Instead, he simply returned to the seat that originally belonged to him.After a few drinks, the banquet came to an end. Harvey was about to leave, but Jaden requested him to stay.Everyone else could see that Jaden had something to say to Harvey, Thus, they all left one by one.Jaden made a “please” gesture before Harvey could speak, and invited Harvey to follow him outside of the hall.A beautiful garden greeted Harvey’s sight
“The eldest son is devoted to the government and wants to use the government’s influence to protect the Smith family.”“The second son, unfortunately, is completely useless.”“The current Smith family looks the same right now, but what about ten years later?”Jaden sighed.Harvey suggested with a smile, “I think Lady Smith is a good choice. It’s possible for her to succeed the Smith family.”Jaden replied indifferently, “Yes, she’s quite good. I also think highly of Yvonne.”“Unfortunately, my optimism for them isn’t shared by other members of the family. They might not think highly of them, as I do.” “If there isn’t a man to support our huge family business, I’m afraid I won’t be at ease even after I die.”“Thus, Harvey, just like what I told you in the banquet before…”“I hold you in high esteem. If you’re willing to be the Smiths’ son-in-law…”“I can guarantee that everything you see now will be yours in ten years.”“You’ll be one of the top big shots in the great Countr
Once Harvey signed the agreement, he would acquire the right to speak in Smith Corporation. From another point of view, it was equivalent to officially setting foot in Mordu’s elite circles.However, Harvey shook his head and said, “No thank you, Senior Smith. I can’t accept something like this. Ten percent shares of Smith Corporation are incredibly valuable.”“Anyway, I didn’t help much even when I showed up at the banquet.”“So, I can’t take it.”The shares were worth a lot of money, but as Harvey couldn’t see through this cunning old man’s mind, he was naturally disinclined to accept it.“Why not?”Jaden smiled lightly.“Aren’t you here to help the Smith family? Isn’t that one of the reasons you came to Mordu?”“Had it not been for you confronting Hector several times, which greatly damaged the Shindan Way and whittled his strength, those pests would certainly appear tonight.”“Had you not taken the initiative to anger my unfilial son Terry, he wouldn’t have suffered such h
"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
