“Besides, that’s the Johnson family’s share. Not yours! You don’t even have the right to decide for them!”“Or are you saying that your master’s already too scared to come at us? Is that why he’s okay with such humiliating terms?”Kaitlyn glared coldly at Edwin. Clearly, she wanted to see how he would react so she could proceed with her plan accordingly.Yet, Edwin remained composed.“Enough nonsense, Ms. Parson. I’ll ask you again: are you willing to accept the conditions or not?”Kaitlyn got closer and sized up Edwin, before approaching him to whisper in his ear.“Of course I’m willing to accept such good terms. But what a shame! I didn’t take Ms. Johnson away!”“Even if I did… Since your master’s making such great efforts to save her, wouldn’t it be more fun if I just keep her here and watch the Johnson family part ways with him?”“Your master thinks he can cause such a big commotion in Hong Kong and Las Vegas just because he’s a little smart and talented?”“He’s being naiv
“So what if I am?”“So what if I want to disrespect you?”Kaitlyn strode back to her couch calmly before sinking in it, crossing her legs haughtily.A faint smile hung on her lips as she looked at Edwin with a glare filled with contempt. “Are you about to lash out after trying so hard to swallow all that humiliation?”“Or are you going to hit me now?”“Go on! Try it!”“I’d love to see how you’ll do it!”“You…”Edwin was about to take a step forward when orderly footsteps could be heard from behind.Several uniformed people, armed to the teeth, surrounded the entire courtyard.Yoana, who was dressed in the same uniform, emerged out of the crowd with grand steps.“You dare touch someone from my family, Kaitlyn? Have you asked yourself this?”“Can you bear the consequences for doing such a thing?!”Yoana’s expression worsened when she got a glimpse of her brother’s swollen face and tattered clothes.“Oh mt! Isn’t this the lady of the Mendoza family, Helm Yoana Mendoza hers
Yoana’s pretty face became ice-cold, and her deadly frown could freeze ice. Louis’s slap had crossed her line.She represented Hong Kong and Las Vegas’ Dragon Palace branch, as well as Harvey’s interests.She would never allow herself to be slapped in the face that easily.In retaliation, she whipped out her elegant firearm.“You really think my title as helm is just for show, Louis?” she exclaimed, her voice an icy hiss.“Do you think I won’t kill you?”At her behest, her subordinates leaned forward with the safeties of their firearms off and aimed right at Louis.However, this deterrence was clearly useless against Louis. He glanced at Yoana, fearless, and snarled, “You barged in Emerald Club and challenged Kaitlyn’s authority! Of course you need a slap in the face!”“Let me tell you something, Yoana…”“Your title might be able to scare most people, but it can’t scare me! You think you have the right to stand up for your brother?!”“Dream on!”“Looks like you’re ready to g
“Hahahaha!”“Filth will always be filth!”“You’re all just trash!”“Look at yourselves!”Louis kept laughing maniacally as he gloated at Edwin and the others’ sorry state.“You people dare to show off in front of me?!”“You’re the ones bringing justice?!”“Hah! I haven’t even thrown my babies out yet, but you’re all already this terrified!”“If I really did it, you would’ve all burst into tears by now!”“All of you are really useless!”“The Mendoza family? The Clarke family?”“Stop joking around!”“You only got your statuses because nobody’s there to steal your spot!”“You think you’re so awesome to the point you’re on par with people like us?!”“Are you even worthy?!”Louis tapped Edwin on the face, arrogance seeping from his every pore. Helena and other beautiful women covered their mouths and giggled snidely.After tonight, both the Clarke and the Mendoza family would turn into Hong Kong and Las Vegas’s biggest jokes.Edwin shot a deadly glare at Louis. If only th
“Number two: if you don’t want to die, kneel and give yourself ten slaps in the face. Apologize as you should, and only then I’ll let you off the hook.”“Choose how you want to play. I’ll stick with you till the end. How’s that sound?”Harvey’s tone was very casual, as if he had Louis by the neck.Louis’s eyes frantically twitched before he released his murderous intent.“Who the hell are you?!”He wanted to send Harvey flying with a kick, but he realized that Harvey had his hand clasped like a handcuff.If Harvey used a little more force, the grenade in his hand would fall to the ground. If that were to happen, everyone would be dragged down and die together.Thus, Louis didn’t dare do anything rash.“It doesn’t matter who I am. What’s important here is your choice.”Harvey exerted slightly more force as he went on speaking nonchalantly.“If you really can’t choose, I’ll do it for you.”A loud crack could be heard from Louis’s hand after Harvey exerted more strength into hi
Louis’s expression changed constantly, his arrogance long gone.This was utterly humiliating for him.He had roamed the Dark Island and was well-known for being fearless.Yet, at this moment, he was completely suppressed by another person.The man turned out to be a lot more ruthless than him. The grenade would explode at any second, and people were really going to die.Louis thought that he didn’t fear death, and that he could scare everyone off with this fact.But today, the man that showed up out of nowhere made him realize the fear in his heart.His arrogant and domineering attitude was built upon his lack of fear toward death.But after having no control over the entire situation, after realizing that there was a chance he would perish in someone else’s hand…Just like everyone else, he would instantly give up without breaking a sweat!This realization twisted Louis’s face into a horrible expression of fear.“You’ve got guts, kid! Are you one of Mendoza’s men?! State yo
Louis’s eyes twitched frantically. He was a very persistent man, but he still felt powerless when facing Harvey.“Are you really not scared of dying?!” he exclaimed, his tone grim.“Of course I am. Who isn’t?”“But I’m just some nobody. What about you?” Harvey said calmly.“You’re one of Four Masters of Hong Kong, the invincible fighter who roams the Dark Island. You have a bright future ahead of you!”“If we die together, I’d have nothing to lose.”“When I die, everyone will forget about me.”“But they’ll remember you for being a clown who died for the sake of vain pride!”The two were talking casually, but Helena and the others behind them had their eyes twitching frantically.One madman was already scary enough.But two of them were simply terrifying!They were on the verge of leaking their pants at this very moment.Louis sighed and tried to relent.“I have to admit, Kid. You’re bold! You’re strong! I admire you!”“I’ll admit defeat for this!”“I apologize!”“I was
Ding, ding, ding!The grenade fell onto the ground and rolled a few times, but it didn’t explode. Instead, it remained swaying in one spot.The crowd was drenched in cold sweat, shivering in fear.“Ah. It didn’t explode?”“Sorry. This one must’ve been broken.”Harvey showed a look of surprise before casually pulling out another grenade on Louis’s chest and taking off the safety pin.“I’ll let her go! I’ll give her back right now!”Before Louis could react, Kaitlyn immediately jumped out of hiding and screamed her surrender.Nobody wanted to die. Kaitlyn even less so, especially after having such a close shave with death.Her life had been smooth sailing. Of course she wouldn’t want to die a dog’s death here!Louis took a deep breath, his face horribly twisted. At the same time, he could smell the foul stench emitting from his body.He wanted to slam his head on the ground so badly.He never thought he would be this scared in his entire life.With a phone call from Kaitly
"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
