“It’s been a while, Mr. Pagan! You’re still as lively as ever!”The woman in a jacket stood up with a rippling smile after seeing Wes and the others show up.That said, her expression seemed quite distant.Harvey carefully sized her up, and then realized she was a killer pretty high up on the leaderboard.If not, her murderous intent wouldn’t be that apparent.Wes’s expression changed instantly after seeing the woman’s face.“Ah! Phantom!” he said after chuckling coldly.“I was wondering who dared to steal my family’s goods before coming to negotiate with me…”“I finally understand after seeing your face here.”Wes then sat casually on a couch.“That said, I’m afraid you’ll have to repay me for this, no matter who’s supporting you behind the scenes.”“Repay you?”Phantom smiled gently.“What kind of statement would you prefer?”“Do you want my life? Or do you want my money instead?”“I can tell you the people in charge of moving your antiques are all dead.”“The antique
The air was completely tense. A fight was about to break out at any moment…Phantom chuckled at that. “It’s useless talking more if things get sour. It’s inappropriate to start a fight without having a nice little chat now, isn’t it?”“Besides, there’s no such thing as eternal enemies—only eternal benefits.”“I believe that when you see my sincerity, you’ll understand that I didn’t come here to cause you trouble. I’m here to bring you money.”Phantom then made a gesture.A few of her subordinates set a box in front of Wes.The Pagan family glared coldly at them. Someone stepped forward to check the contents inside the box.“They’re the stolen antiques, Mr. Pagan.”Wes showed an odd expression, then signaled his subordinates to move the box.“Is this what you call sincerity? Giving back the things that you stole?” Wes said while squinting at Phantom.“Of course not. This is just the appetizer.”Phantom smiled faintly, and snapped her fingers.Another box was sent over soon
“Faceless?”Wes’s expression didn’t change all that much, but he spoke in a cold tone.“I thought the Skeleton Gang’s appearance was just a coincidence…”“Looks like he’s trying to come back after all.”“Why here, of all places? Why not show off somewhere else?”“Judging from his background, the Hermit Families want nothing to do with him at this point.”“Why is he coming back for more trouble?”Wes sighed.Phantom smiled faintly.“Mr. Faceless said that he doesn’t hate Golden Sands, nor does he resent anyone here.”“He came back not because he wanted to, but because he needed to.”“As long as everyone is willing to give him what he wants, he swears he’ll never set foot here ever again.”“He’ll give everything just to have that.”“For example, he’ll turn the Pagan family into the head of the Hermit Families.”Phantom patted on her chest as a guarantee.Harvey looked at her curiously.It seemed like Faceless—or rather, Evermore—was sure that the six Hermit Families had t
“Mr. Pagan…” Phantom said with a pleading look.“Enough of this nonsense!”Wes cut Phantom off and stood up.“I’m giving you three days to bring me the person who hurt my family.”“If you don’t, don’t blame me for what happens next.”“You should know that the Pagan family isn’t an easy target for you to push around.”Phantom flashed him a horrible look.“I understand,” she replied quietly.“Good.”Wes crossed his arms.“Tell Faceless to stop thinking about these useless things.”“If not, this city will turn into his grave.”“After all, Golden Sands belongs to the Hermit Families. Not Evermore.”“I’ll tell him that.”Phantom’s eyes twitched frantically as she gripped her fist furiously, desperately trying to hold her anger back.“Even though the deal isn’t made, Mr. Pagan…” she said after she slowly bowed.“Mr. Faceless already told me this.”“Kindness is a big part of business!”“He’d like you to take this.”“This is an ancient relic Country H lost in India.”“The r
Crack!Harvey crushed the second layer of the pagoda.“This is a rock with a psychedelic scent. It’s fine to smell this for a short period of time, but exposure to long periods of time will lead to a mental disorder. Even if death doesn’t come soon after, it would lead to loss of control of one’s entire body.”Crack!Harvey crushed the third layer of the pagoda.“Aside from that, there’s also a cursed doll in this layer.”“Mr. Pagan’s house will be in turmoil because of this. The entire family would turn to ashes if they’re unlucky enough.”“Simply put, the so-called treasure will make the Pagan family cease to exist in just three months…”Everyone was dead silent after hearing Harvey’s words.They were all filled with nothing but shock.Arlet and the rest of the Pagan family gasped. Then, they looked gratefully at him.They didn’t expect that Phantom would be so heinous just to complete her mission. One wrong step, and the family would’ve collapsed instantly.Phantom and h
The monk pressed on without saying a single word.A bodyguard pounced right at him with every single step he took.When he was around thirty feet away from Wes Pagan, half of the family’s bodyguards were already killed off.“Kill them, Skullface! Leave none alive!”Phantom saw the monk before smiling coldly.Harvey York squinted at the monk. He was surprised the man before him to be the legendary head of the Skeleton Gang.‘The gang has a relationship this deep with Faceless, huh?‘The gang leader would step up just to kill Wes…‘Looks like they’re working for Evermore after all.’“What capable people you have with you!“I devised so many plans just to deal with you, but it looks like I have to resort to brute force!“I guess there’s no point in holding back my strength.The killing around her did not even faze Phantom as she slowly strode toward Wes with two of her subordinates.“Mr. Faceless knows you well.“He said there’s only one way to go against you.“I couldn’t e
‘No exceptions?!’Lachlan Bree’s face was filled with nothing but pride and arrogance.It was as if he was the world’s champion.Harvey York sized up Lachlan before saying another word of caution.“Phantom and Skullface are tough to deal with, Lachlan…”“Tough to deal with?”Lachlan and his juniors scoffed after hearing Harvey’s warning.The juniors were crossing their arms while glaring derisively at Harvey.“Are you dumb? Or are you just ignorant?”“You talk like our senior’s an easy target!”“Let me tell you something! He’s taken more lives than you can ever imagine!”“If he weren’t worried about Mr. Pagan and Arlet’s safety, he would’ve taken down those people in a single slap by now!”Lachlan felt incredibly proud after hearing his juniors’ words.“You’re exaggerating. These people are pretty capable. I probably won’t be able to do that…“Maybe two slaps at least.”Naturally, Lachlan’s words were as arrogant as could be at this point.Harvey showed a bitter express
“Come on!“All of you!“Useless filth!“Come at me!“I’ll take on all of you!”Lachlan Bree let out a righteous cry as he waved his arms around.The sound alone made it seem like Lachlan was an unrivaled expert.“Don’t be scared, Harvey! My senior’s pretty impressive!“He previously took down ten experts all by himself!Arlet Pagan admired her senior quite a bit.“I asked him to be here because he’s strong!“These people are no match against him!“He’ll deal with them soon enough…”The juniors were holding their heads up high after hearing Arlet’s words, as if they were expecting Lachlan’s triumphant victory.Someone even started to record Lachlan, preparing to show him off on social media.Wes Pagan squinted at the sight before him, speechless.Harvey York heaved a sigh. There was nothing else he could say at that point.Clang clang clang!Loud sounds were echoing everywhere.The monk covered in gold took a step toward Lachlan.“You’ve got power, but it’s a shame I
"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
