Ding!At this moment, Darwin’s phone suddenly rang.The ear-piercing ringtone broke the silence of the night, startling Darwin and the higher-ups.Darwin haphazardly answered the call, and placed the phone beside his ear. His eyes twitched, and the phone soon fell to the ground.Quill glanced calmly at him. “What’s the matter?”Darwin’s face turned slightly pale. “Jakai’s dead…” he replied, trembling. ‘Dead?!’A few simple words were enough to silence everyone. Everyone held their breath—the whole place was emerged in pin-drop silence. The higher-ups suddenly looked as if they had been rotting in the ground for three whole days.Quill, on the other hand, casually held his cup, his arms crossed. “Chaos is coming to the Golden Sands…”…Early the next morning, Harvey glanced at his phone as soon as he woke up. He saw dozens of phone calls on his screen.Harvey calmly called a few of them back, and soon found out about Jakai’s death.He then called Soren to make sense
Soren was speechless.Jakai was a prominent figure. Heaven’s Gate supporting him was no easy opponent to deal with, either. More importantly, he had deep connections with the Island Nations. The Islanders would surely use this opportunity to cause an uproar.Simply put, Golden Sands was in deep trouble.Soren and the entire Braff family would definitely suffer a lot of pressure soon enough.He had received a phone call from Wolsing this morning, telling him to solve the case as soon as possible so the people from the Island Nations or Heaven’s Gate wouldn’t get a chance to take action.“I looked into the situation, Sir York. This old bastard had quite a lot of enemies!“Some of them are peak Kings of Arms, too. They’re fully capable of killing Jakai with one hit.“That said, they all have alibis to prove that they had no time to assassinate him in the first place.“Besides, they aren’t so quick as to be able to do this immediately after hearing about Jakai getting crippled.“I
“They also know about my relationship with Quill.“I’d get in trouble if Jakai died, and Quill would surely stand up for me.“With his protection, the six Hermit Families would probably be dragged into the situation too, since they’re always together.“With that, all of Golden Sands’s forces would have no choice but to go against the Heaven’s Gate and the Island Nations.“The culprit’s mission would be complete after that.”Harvey looked thoughtful. “The culprit’s goal isn’t to kill Jakai or me.“They’re planning to enter the game.“With a strong impact, of course.“There can only be one person with such methods and timing…”Darwin and Soren locked eyes; they didn’t think that Harvey had already figured out this much.“Who is it?” Soren asked after a short moment.“Faceless of Evermore,” Harvey replied.Darwin and Soren shivered, and their faces turned dark. It was only a speculation and there was no solid proof, but it was highly probable that Faceless was actually behin
“If that wasn’t the case, a thousand of you would be no match against my father!”Monica’s face was frost. “Alright, enough talk!“Kneel and break every single one of your limbs, then castrate yourself!“After that, stay with my father’s grave for a whole week!“I’ll decide how to deal with you when my husband’s back!”Monica had an arrogant expression, as if she was convinced Harvey had no choice but to obey her every single order.Her companions were all screaming fiercely at Harvey, desperately wanting to tear him apart.The Nobita family, with their aristocratic titles, would usually act high and mighty. When had they given in before?When did anyone dare go against them?And yet, a mere man from Country H crippled their young master, then killed their mistress’s father!What a joke!Harvey waved his hand to stop Soren and Darwin, then glanced at Monica with a small smile.“You’d rather become traitors of your own country than be an honest person? You want me to bre
Monica was infuriated to see Harvey’s dismissive attitude.Her beautiful eyes narrowed as she glared at Harvey.“You’ve angered me, Harvey!” she exclaimed furiously. “You’ll end up horribly for this!”Monica took a step forward and put her hand on her long sword, ready to unsheathe it at any moment.“Don’t do anything reckless, Monica!”Shay stepped up, looking awful. “We don’t even know how Jakai died yet! Can you take responsibility for causing Sir York this much trouble? Do you even have proof?!”“Proof?”Monica chuckled coldly; she didn’t care to show Shay any face at all.“When did you people get the right to talk back to me?“Let me tell you something!“Nobody can keep Harvey safe today!“He’s destined to be crippled!”Naturally, Monica believed that she had already given Harvey a chance to atone by breaking his own limbs. Had he done so, he could least survive a few more days.Not only did Harvey not cherish the opportunity, but he also disobeyed her completely. A
Harvey glared back at Monica. “Idiot.”“You bastard! How dare you insult me?” Monica screamed in anger. She was brimming with unbridled fury.A frosty aura seeped out of her, and she pressed her hand on her long sword. As she slowly closed up her fingers, a fierce aura resembling a massive tornado burst all over the place.It was a terrifying and shocking sight.Even Soren froze from confusion; he didn’t expect Monica to get so much stronger after inheriting the Nobita family’s martial arts!Darwin couldn’t help but feel impressed; Jakai must’ve taught her everything he knew. Her strength had already increased at an exponential level. Not just Shay—even Darwin knew he was no match against Monica.“As expected for the mistress to be this fierce!”“Looks like she’ll break through as a God of War in under three years!”“The Island Nations will have another one soon enough!”“All hail the Island Nations!”Her companions looked at her, awed. They didn’t think that Monica was actua
“Is that so?“How dare you side with evil?!“You must have a death wish!”Monica couldn’t be bothered to say anything more; she took a step forward, and swung her sword right at Harvey.It was a terrifying sight.Her speed increased threefold, ready to cut Harvey in half.Shay hurriedly pulled out her nun chucks again, and stood in front of Harvey.Clang!Shay was sent flying once again; she only managed to stay on foot with Darwin’s help. Even so, blood still gushed out of her mouth.She was headstrong; she swallowed her blood and regained her footing, ready to take action once more.“You people from the Heaven’s Gate are as useless as ever, Shay!” Monica screeched. “Your family especially so! The Heaven’s Fist is just a joke to me!”Monica pointed at Shay, her eyes narrowed, and her expression filled with pride.“I’m warning you one last time: leave right now! Stop being an eyesore! If not, I can’t guarantee your survival!”The Islanders glared at Harvey, not bothered to
After all, everyone could see that against Monica, Shay was no different from a dying dog…And yet, Harvey was telling her to fight with her bare hands.How was this possible?!Everything felt like a dream!The Islanders looked at Harvey scornfully, as if they were embarrassed for him. Not just them—Darwin and Soren looked at each other in disbelief as well.‘He wants Shay to fight back?’‘How is that even possible?’‘Why is he that confident?’‘Even if he’s a God of War, he wouldn’t be able to do something like that, right?’‘Besides, Monica is on another level!’‘It’d be a miracle if Shay can touch her!’‘Harvey wants Shay to cripple Monica in three moves?’‘That’s just unrealistic!’At that moment, Monica’s expression turned scornful.She had seen quite a lot of ignorant and crazy people in her life…but it was rare for her to see someone on Harvey’s level.Everyone looked at Harvey as if they were watching an idiot making a fool of himself.They finally understood wh
"While Country H is said to have existed for so many years, the people can be quite narrow-minded. They'll act all arrogant because they have a bit of talent. Not only that, but they also refuse to accept the rest of the civilized world. There's no need to get angry with these people," Juliana said to Hawk's men, her tone filled with concern."All of them say they love their country, but the truth is that they'll leave for greener pastures as soon as opportunities present themselves. Despite agreeing with your values, I'm still part of this country. I wish I could really be part of you!" Juliana said, envy and disappointment on her face.Hawk and the others smiled when they saw Juliana's attitude. If most of the people from Country H acted like this, their cultural victory would be assured. At this point, all of them smiled widely and abandoned whatever upset feelings they had from just now.-About ten minutes later, Harvey took Alexei back to the Dragon Gate Training Hall. Va
When Juliana and the others saw Harvey and Alexei leave, all of them could only grit their teeth in anger despite being genuinely surprised. They didn't expect Harvey's call to be enough to remove Hawk's status as a Knight Templar with one call. His quick action had humiliated Hawk and his men.Normally speaking, they would never believe that Harvey would be able to do such a thing. They didn't expect that reality could be so cruel to the point that it was choking them. Harvey was so influential that they found themselves struggling to breathe."Calm down, Hawk. Don't feel down. I don't think that what happened is real," Juliana said as she subconsciously consoled Hawk. "His reputation is built on boasts. He doesn't understand just how powerful your culture is! There's no way he can affect the powerful Knights Templar."I suspect he's working with someone else and got a fake number, so that he could intimidate and trick you! In other words, you can't let this confuse you! Even i
Harvey narrowed his eyes and said calmly to Hawk, "If you're really that powerful, you won't be wearing that expression when you see me."The so-called top from their side would not only treat him with respect, but they would also get the hell out of there as fast as possible.However, Hawk didn't understand what Harvey was trying to convey. He smiled coldly and said, "You don't understand what the Knight Templars mean, do you? Before this name, even dragons and beasts must fall! And when it comes to someone like you… The moment I showed you my identity, you won't even have the privilege to bend your knee!"Harvey refuted calmly, "If you're really that influential, won't it humiliate you completely if I can make you bend your knee with one call?"Hawk's expression turned brutal. "Oh? You're going to make a move? Come on, then! Show me just how good you really are!"Harvey nodded and pulled out his phone as he looked at Hawk. "Since you asked for it, I guess I have no choice but
Harvey scoffed. He couldn't be bothered by wasting his breath speaking to someone like Juliana, who obviously had been hit on the head. Instead, he turned to Alexei. "I'm leaving now. You either leave with me, or you can stay here and be a simp. But remember—if you stay as her simp, don't appear in front of me again. A man who has no pride and a backbone doesn't have the right to stand in front of me."Hearing that, there was a hint of hesitation on Alexei's face.When Juliana saw that Harvey didn't agree to her demand and even changed the subject, she smiled coldly. "If you have a death wish, then I'll grant it to you. I won't pull my punches from here on out. And you, Alexei. You can try and leave with him… As long as you can bear the consequences of that!"Alexei's expression was filled with even more hesitation. In the end, he gritted his teeth and left together with Harvey.Juliana's smile turned icy when she saw what had happened. "Good, Alexei! You'll regret this! From n
"I'm sorry! It's all my fault! My entire fault! I shouldn't have forced you!" Alexei said, lowering his head dejectedly. Seeing this, Juliana walked over and extended her hand, raising Alexei's chin. She said coldly, "It's good that you know you're making a mistake. Now, Hawk and I will need to get some rest at the hotel. We'll also be going to a charity ball later. Since we're very busy, we don't have the time to pay for our meal. Remember to pay for it and our presidential suite as well. Understand?"While Juliana looked down at Alexei, she didn't mind making Alexei pay for everything. From her perspective, it was a matter of course.When Alexei heard it, he still nodded despite the dark expression on his face.He wanted to take his wallet out, but Harvey quickly stopped Alexei and took his wallet instead. "If you have the money for a woman, why don't you come with me and eat something at the nearby stall? Don't waste your life and time on a woman like this."Harvey dragged A
After Alexei heard what Harvey had to say, his expression was filled with hesitation. It was obvious that he did have feelings for Juliana. However, there was also fear. He didn't know what he should do.He was afraid that Juliana might really abandon him. At the same time, he was really afraid that Juliana was cheating. Alexei felt like he was stuck between a rock and a hard place."Alexei? Why are you here?" At this time, a cold and arrogant voice could be heard. "Are you here to ambush me? So that you can annoy me?"Harvey instinctively turned around and saw Juliana and Hawk walking out from the restaurant hand-in-hand like a wealthy couple. Behind them were their secretaries, lawyers, and bodyguards. They looked like important people; on the other hand, Alexei looked like a beggar by the street.Alexei quickly ran over, forcing himself to smile despite being upset. "I heard you're back, Juliana, so I came over to pick you up. You must be tired now. I've arranged for a pre
"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
