Harvey York frowned. ‘Is this how the higher-ups think of me?‘Gavin Bauer asked me to become the Chief Instructor of the nine biggest military forces as a test?“To my knowledge, the Chief Instructor doesn’t have that ambition.“If he did, he would’ve sat on the throne during his peak.”Eliel Braff smiled.“Who knows?“We shouldn’t judge a book by its cover…“Maybe he doesn’t have that kind of ambition.“But the higher-ups would probably think otherwise.”Harvey’s eyes twitched when he chugged his tea.He realized that he was being too naive.People have changed.The country would probably follow that change.He would not let that happen.***In the middle of the night, Harvey left the Braff family’s ancestral house.He looked toward the north with mixed emotions. He realized he had to go to Wolsing after dealing with Evermore.He did not want to go, but he probably had no choice.This was probably his life.After heaving a sigh, Harvey rubbed his temples before r
Mandy Zimmer frowned the moment she stood up.“Who are you people? Who said that you can come in?” she coldly exclaimed.“You need to pay for the damages, you know.Ensley Johnson waved her hand while completely ignoring Mandy.The bodyguards and Ronins quickly spread out.They stood in front of the entrances and exits before kicking the doors down.The entire house was a mess, but nobody else was around.Mandy was utterly enraged after seeing the sight.“What do you want?!“Do you know that you destroyed an ancient porcelain vase and kiln?!“Those things are priceless!“Who gave you the right to do such a thing?!”“You’re Mandy, right?”Ensley squinted with her long and narrow eyes. A cold expression was obviously showing on her face.“Call Harvey York! Tell him to come!” she exclaimed.“Right now!”Mandy’s expression instantly turned dark.“Who are you to him?“What do you want him for?!”Ensley showed a disdainful glare as she sized up Mandy.“That’s none of your
“I’m calling the cops! You’ll be thrown behind bars!”Mandy Zimmer pulled out her phone, planning to make a call.“Heh! You’re doing that in front of me?!“You really want to suffer, don’t you?!”Ensley Johnson coldly chuckled before pointing at Mandy.“Come! Teach her a lesson! Let her know who she’s talking to!”Along with Ensley’s order, two Islander women grabbed Mandy’s hands before someone else snatched the phone from her hand.“What are you doing?!”Mandy kept struggling, but she was not strong enough to go against the group of people.Her head and hands were held completely still.She was pressed onto the couch, stopping her from moving a single inch.In their eyes, Mandy was just a prisoner.She had no chance to break free.The women were clearly expert martial artists. Mandy was simply powerless against them.She could only grit her teeth as she coldly exclaimed, “You people are barbaric!“This is Country H, this is a lawful country!“You’ll pay for all this!”
“No need to hold back. Continue.”The Islanders excitedly beat up Mandy Zimmer after hearing Ensley Johnson’s order.After all, without status, women would be looked down on by statusless men of the same level.They suffered a lot to get to this point. Now that they could show off, they unhesitatingly took the chance.Mandy’s hands and head were held still. She had no means to fight back. She had no choice but to watch as the women slapped her around without pause.Mandy’s entire body was trembling in pain. Judging from her attitude, she was completely infuriated but would never give in.She would never bow down to those people.Bam!Before long, Mandy’s consciousness started to fade. Mandy’s whole body swayed before she slammed to the ground.***It was already noon when Harvey York quickly came to the People’s Hospital.He saw Lilian Yates, Simon Zimmer, and Xynthia Zimmer panicking like cats on hot bricks.The lights of the emergency room had been on the entire time. It
Lilian Yates suddenly realized that Mandy Zimmer was still being rescued in the emergency room after hearing Simon Zimmer’s words. It would be bad if the commotion affected Mandy’s treatment.Without a second thought, she swallowed her rage and disdainfully glared at Harvey York.Obviously, she would have strangled Harvey to death if it were not for the wrong occasion.“How’s Mandy?”Harvey could not be bothered to entertain Lilian since he knew how she would act. Besides, he was also partly responsible for what had happened.“We only reached here, but the security said that Mandy’s face and stomach were covered in bruises. Her hands were also cuffed behind her back.”Rage was written all over Simon’s face.“My daughter’s the head of the ninth branch! Aren’t those people afraid of us taking revenge?!”Simon’s expression had a mix of anger and worry. A sense of resentment and powerlessness could also be felt from him.Lilian felt utterly dejected. She looked down on Harvey, but
“That said, we managed to treat her injuries for the time being. We’ll have to wait till tomorrow to figure out when the patient will wake up again.“She’ll be warded in the hospital for further observation. I’ll arrange the best room and nurses for her.“Don’t be too worried.”Naturally, Maren Failes was doing this for Harvey York’s sake.If not, ordinary people would not be taking the best rooms. After all, there would be a lot of patients every single day.Simon Zimmer and the others kept bowing after hearing those words.“Thank you! Thank you, Director Failes!”Harvey glanced at Maren.“You’re too kind, Director Failes. If you need Senior Armstrong’s help, just give me a call.”Mandy Zimmer could only rest in the hospital since she was heavily injured externally.Afraid of bothering her sleep, Harvey idly chatted with Xynthia Zimmer briefly before leaving the place.Other than arranging people to protect Mandy, he also had some scores to settle.Later, Xynthia followed
Harvey York returned to Fortune Hall after leaving the hospital.He briefly thought about the situation before sending Prince Gibson a text.The Newgate Chamber of Commerce was not enough to protect the Zimmer family anymore. Instead, the Golden Sands’ branch of Heaven’s Gate had to take action.He believed that with expert martial artists, the family would not get into further trouble.At the same time, his phone vibrated before a surge of texts popped up. They were from Prince.The texts pointed out Chiba Nobita’s background and the people he met upon arriving in Country H.Harvey showed a profound gaze when he saw the list of names.The lights were dimmed out in his study when he stood crossed arms before the window, blankly staring in Wolsing’s direction.At three o’clock in the morning, Harvey’s ears twitched when he heard the sounds of car engines while cooking himself a snack. Judging from the sound, it was probably a pickup truck.Harvey’s eyes twitched before he insti
“The enemy’s got some good moves. Then again, the person who found such a scapegoat must be a local here.“Did we find out who had met with the driver?”Kellan Ruiz thought about the situation for a moment.“I found footage showing someone pushing the drunk into the truck.“The drunk was completely blindfolded. The license plate was covered as well.“He had golden threads on his suit. The person in the passenger’s seat also seemed like an Islander…”Harvey clapped his hands.“The John family. Interesting.“The fact that Chiba Nobita got someone from the John family to do it seems a lot more interesting…”Harvey seemed indifferent. It was clear that Chiba and the others were the culprits.After all, only they would use such a desperate move.The rich and powerful from Country H would always go against each other, but at least they had dignity.It was Harvey’s first time seeing someone attempting murder with gasoline.He did not expect that the John family would be involved
"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
