Before Riley could even finish her sentence, her whole body froze and a horrible look appeared on her face.Aiden didn’t give anybody a chance to react and kicked the door down before raising his hunting rifle, catching the men inside the room off guard.Bam!A loud bang could be heard, and the man at the very front was sent flying before crashing into the people behind him.Aiden took a step forward and pulled the trigger at the confused goons who were lying on the ground.None of them had any chance of even getting close to Aiden. In just a single moment, they were only left with the strength to wail in pain as they rolled on the ground.“You b*stard!”The man in front was boiling with anger at the sight. He was about to pull his gun out, but…Aiden laughed again and took a step toward the man, and placed the barrel of his rifle right on the man’s head.Bam!Before the man could react, Aiden slammed his rifle against the man’s head. The man saw darkness in front of his eyes
An elegant woman with short hair and a black rose tattooed on her chest strode forward, her face cold.“How dare you cause such a mess in our base!”“You have a death wish?!”Aiden chuckled after hearing those words. Then, he pulled out a grenade.Harvey froze; he didn’t expect that Aiden would have such a thing with him. ‘Did he have a small arsenal with him?’Harvey took a step forward to stop Aiden from pulling the pin of the grenade.Then, he said to the woman, “Tell Kayden to get out of here!”“I’ll give him one minute.”“If we don’t see him after that…”“I’ll have every single one of you kneel at the city center to repent for your sins.”Harvey’s words were calm; not a trace of anger could be heard from him.However, those words were enough to enrage the Hatchet Gang completely.“You b*stard!”“Who the hell are you?!”“How dare you act so high and mighty in front of us!”A young man with a buzz cut couldn’t hold back his anger and screamed furiously at Harvey bef
A noble aura could be felt seeping out of the man’s body. His face bore an unspeakable prestige.The higher-ups of the gang all gave way as soon as they saw the man.“Boss Balmer!”Harvey narrowed his eyes; he immediately recognized the man. This man was the head of the Hatchet Gang and one of the six gang leaders of Flutwell—Kayden Balmer.“No grudge against me, you say?”Harvey calmly walked forward, leveling his narrowed eyes at Kayden.“You people are impressive!”“You kidnap my sister-in-law in the middle of broad daylight, and force her to sign the papers to throw my wife and mother-in-law under the bus!”“And now, you tell me there’s no grudge between us?”“Is your brain working?”Harvey then kicked Boss Dart toward Kayden.When Kayden saw this, he was on the verge of stomping Boss Dart to death.Dart had been living such a lavish life in the base camp for the longest time…And then what happened?Because of him, the entire gang was on the verge of collapse!Kayde
“That’s why I’m giving you a chance.”“You can go all out. Use whatever weapons you want. As long as you can block my slap...”“I’ll let you handle things however you want.”“But if you can’t even do that…”“Then you’ll be my servant from now on.”“Got it?”Kayden froze. Immediately after, his expression changed; he was utterly enraged.“You b*stard! I’m the head of the Hatchet Gang! How dare you try to humiliate me?!”“I’ll kill you!”Kayden took a step forward and shook his hands. In an instant, his clothes exploded and revealed his body.His body was fully tanned, and his muscles were quite apparent as well.At first glance, Kayden seemed to have trained in a traditional martial art style like the Golden Shield or the Iron Skin.Kayden used all his might to scream his heart out.“You little b*stard!”“I’ll let you know…”“What it means to challenge someone way out of your league!”“I’ll kill you!”He immediately threw a punch right toward Harvey.Fwooosh!Loud cra
As soon as everyone knelt, Kayden forced a smile and said, “Master! You can punish my subordinates however you like for their ignorance!”At the sight of his obedience, the crowd was at a complete loss.Not only did the head of the Hatchet Gang kneel, but he also didn’t even try to save his own dignity.Riley was utterly shocked.In her mind, Kayden was one of the few scariest people in Flutwell!Ordinary people who try to go against him would die without even knowing why!And yet, here he was, kneeling in front of Harvey!He knelt in an instant!Wasn’t Harvey just a live-in son-in-law?What right did he have to make Kayden kneel?Because of the day’s conflict, Riley thought both Harvey and Xynthia had their fates sealed, and that they were going to die without a burial spot…She never expected that Kayden would be the one to kneel instead.She couldn’t believe everything she was seeing.Only Xynthia looked completely calm. She knew everything would be solved if her brothe
Having experienced so much in the past few days, Xynthia understood that her troubles were too easy for Harvey to deal with.Harvey smiled.“Mordu and Buckwood have laws.”“But… This place is just too special.”“There are laws here, but because of the place’s history, everyone thinks that power means everything.”“Since that’s the case, we’ll show our power.”“If not, we wouldn’t even be able to find a place to stay, let alone save your sister and mother.”“Right. Tell me what happened.”“Didn’t you come to visit Flutwell’s gold mine? How did your mother and sister get tricked into jail?”At Harvey’s questioning, Xynthia sat down and poured herself a cup of tea before she tried to recall the situation.“I remember now! Someone must’ve planned for all this.”“After the thirteenth young master of the Bauer family came to Mordu, he kept trying to court Big Sister. He gave a lot of luxurious stuff to Mother as well. She was completely dazed by all those gifts!”“Then, he invite
“Mother and Sister are being framed, Brother-In-Law!”“You need to save them!”Xynthia let out a huge sigh, worry coloring her face.Both Lilian and Mandy were born from luxury.They couldn’t possibly stand a life behind bars!Harvey tapped Xynthia’s shoulders and replied calmly, “We need to be patient.”“Someone’s clearly targeting us. This is too dangerous.”“Since that’s the case, we can’t afford to be reckless.”“I told Kayden to show up with his forces. Let’s see if we can get Lilian and Mandy out that way.”Xynthia froze.“The Hatchet Gang’s one of the Gang of Six, but they’re nothing to the Golden Palace and the Bauer family, right?”“Can we even use Kayden?”“We won’t know unless we try,” Harvey calmly replied.“On one hand, we’ll be able to test his abilities.”“On the other hand, we can see just how deep the waters here are.”Xynthia let out a sigh of relief after knowing Harvey’s arrangements.After pondering over the situation, she said quietly, “Brother-In-
“Don’t worry. With me here, Flutwell will be yours sooner or later,” Harvey said calmly.“But before that, I’d have to see your worth first, wouldn’t I?”“I can bring up anyone I want, but I can’t just choose some useless filth to support, right?”Kayden trembled after hearing Harvey’s words.He had seen Harvey’s true power. If this man was willing to bring Kayden up…Maybe the Hatchet Gang would become the head of the Gang of Six.Kayden was immediately exhilarated.“Right. Since the second-in-command isn’t here yet…”“Why don’t you tell me who that person is instead?”Harvey signaled Rachel to refill the pot of tea and then casually leaned into his chair.Seeing that Harvey wasn’t angry, Kayden replied respectfully, “His name is Logan Bowie, Sir York.”“Bowie? Is he a distant relative of the Bauer family?” Harvey asked, his interest was piqued.“That’s right. He’s Dylan’s uncle.”“The Bowie family isn’t considered a top-rated family, but because of their relationship wit
"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
