Harvey went to Fortune Hall after leaving the hospital.Right as he entered, Darwin, Prince, and Shay rushed to the main hall with anxious expressions.Harvey frowned. Logically speaking, they were also from Heaven’s Gate and the Gibson family. Even the John family would have to show them respect.Something must’ve gone wrong.‘Did something happen to Quill?’“Is Quill fine?” Harvey asked without hesitation.Darwin quickly walked over.“He’s fine. It’s something else, actually.“The Lopez family, the Corpse Walkers, are here to challenge our branch!“Without the head, nobody’s here to take charge!“This is bad!“Rumors say that they sent an expert who’s halfway into becoming a God of War.“If we’re not careful, not only will the family’s name be tarnished, but so will Heaven’s Gate! It’ll be troublesome for Helm Gibson.“Sir York, should we accept the challenge or not?”—In the evening, on the road to the lakeside villa of Golden Sands’ branch of Heaven’s Gate.Harvey
Shay wouldn’t dare say anything more, since Harvey had already made up his mind.She sent her father a text when Harvey wasn’t looking, telling him to prepare himself. There was about to be a lot of trouble.Half an hour later, the car parked outside the entrance of a lakeside villa. The villa was surrounded by mountains and water. It was a place for Heaven’s Gate’s branch to attend to their important guests.To receive such grand treatment was testament to the Corpse Walkers’ ability.After getting out of the car, Harvey looked around the place calmly. Many mahogany coffins and funeral cars could be seen. It was a gloomy sight.The smell of formalin was in the air. Undoubtedly, the place had already been converted into the Corpse Walker’s domain.Many people in Kurbus clothing showed up quickly, as if they had sensed Harvey’s arrival. They looked at him with vengeful glares.From the crowd, a man in a wheelchair appeared. He was the same man with the golden-rimmed glasses who
Shay’s expression darkened. She knew the Corpse Walkers were shameless, but she didn’t know that it was to this extent.Not only were they causing Harvey trouble, but they wanted to force him to his death.More importantly, if they had reason to send more men here, Harvey’s death would definitely be in vain. Even the Gibson family wouldn’t get an excuse to fight back.At Talon’s screams, more people in Kurbus clothing showed up. Their skins were slightly dark, and their heads were raised up high, as if they were brimming with light.Even ordinary people could tell that they were expert martial artists.Seeing their arrival, Talon chuckled wretchedly.“The people of Heaven’s Gate are immoral!“We’re here to spar and exchange martial arts, but this bastard slapped me in the face because he doesn’t like us!“He thinks he’s the head of Heaven’s Gate just because he has the badge!“How dare he take advantage of us?!”Talon bit his tongue and spat out blood, acting as if Harvey had
“Silence!“Don’t you know that Young Master Cedric’s having a nap right now?“Do you people want to die?!”Another group appeared; they had slightly darker skin as well, but they were wearing ordinary clothes.The person in front was a middle-aged woman with a vengeful expression. She was one of the four top experts of the Corpse Walkers’ younger generation, Paloma Lopez.Paloma quickly went to the front of the crowd. As soon as she saw her junior with blood covering his mouth and a palm print on his face, her expression worsened.“What’s the matter, Talon?“You coughed up blood? Someone slapped you? “Who would dare do something like this?!”Paloma was furious; not only was Talon her junior, but he was also the one she cared for the most. After seeing him injured, it was only natural that she’d burst in anger.“You’re finally here, Paloma!“I thought the world’s completely lawless at this point!”Talon made sure to stay in character the entire time. He jumped into Paloma’s
“Heh! You think you’re impressive just because you have the badge?“I’ve seen arrogant people in my life, but not to this extent!“Even Quill has to respect the Corpse Walkers, let alone a child like you!“Take him out! At least break his legs, so he’d kneel in front of Talon…”The Corpse Walkers were screaming furiously at Harvey. A lot of them had already rolled up their sleeves, ready to take action.Talon looked smugly at Harvey.‘You think you can go against me now because you got me before?!‘You’re dead for going against the Corpse Walkers, you bastard!’Harvey wasn’t angry at all; he stopped Shay from calling anyone, and just watched the show calmly.For some reason, Talon found Harvey’s expression a little cold and terrifying. He couldn’t help but shiver, but quickly laughed coldly to bolster his courage.‘Where does he think he is? Why would I be scared of him now?’Paloma was infuriated when she saw Harvey’s expression remain the same the entire time.She took a
Shay kept trying to speak reason.“Look closely!“The shape and angle of the palm print on Talon’s face don’t belong to anyone else.“He did it himself, so he can frame Sir York!“Whatever he said was fake!”Talon’s expression changed after hearing Shay’s accusations.Everyone instinctively looked over, and finally understood the situation. No matter how anyone looked, Talon did the damage to himself. It was painfully obvious.The Corpse Walkers would definitely be in the wrong if things were to escalate.Harvey looked curiously at Shay; he didn’t expect that she’d figure out something like that to solve the situation.This was enough to prove that she had a keen eye and a careful heart. With enough nurturing, she’d be able to turn into a person with great character.After seeing the horrible looks on the Corpse Walkers’ faces, Shay took a step forward.“All of you should know what happened by now.“Stop looking for trouble already!“Step aside, okay?”Slap!Paloma stepp
Harvey was lightning fast.Speed was the only way to long success.The Corpse Walkers didn’t understand that fact, but that changed immediately after seeing him move so quickly. His speed was beyond their wildest imaginations.They couldn’t even see him clearly, let alone block his attacks.Talon’s throat went dry, and his body turned completely cold.“What are you going to do, Harvey…?”Paloma instinctively shivered.“What do you want?! Do you know the consequences you’ll have to bear for touching my junior? Let him go right now!” she screamed.“Do it, or we’ll kill you!” the experts yelled. “Young Master Cedric is here! You’ll pay a huge price for being this reckless!“You deserve death for humiliating the Corpse Walkers!”The Corpse Walkers laughed coldly as they kept threatening Harvey. They clearly didn’t understand the situation they were in.Talon took a deep breath, and flashed Harvey a cold smile.“You dare kill me? You wouldn’t do that even with all the courage
“Look out, Sir York!” Shay yelled, her face pale.Slap!Harvey calmly stepped forward, and swung his palm forward.In just a moment, Harvey’s palm was infinitely expanding in front of everyone’s eyes. Upon seeing it, they were all in utter disbelief when they saw the sight.“Aaagh!”The experts screamed in pain as they were all sent flying. They coughed up blood as they fell to the ground, their faces twisted into ugly expressions.The Iron Corpses were instantly kicked aside before they could come out of the coffins.Pfft!The people controlling the Iron Corpses spat blood out of their mouths, barely breathing.Paloma was shocked to see it.Not only did Talon die because of Harvey, but Harvey also beat up and disrespected the Corpse Walkers!They never experienced a time when they were immediately defeated before the Iron Corpses even came out!“Go! All of you! Right now!” Paloma screamed without a second thought. “Kill this bastard already!”A few more experts raised the
Soon, Harvey and Alexei walked into the auction hall discreetly with their heads low.The auction hall was incredibly spacious. It resembled a grand stadium, with individual seats placed all over. In the middle of the stadium was a tall auction platformThere was still some time before the start of the auction, but most of the guests were already there. Everyone nodded toward each other and started chatting. Not only was this an auction, but a lot of people also treated this as a place where they could socialize.Harvey and Alexei had been brought to seats at the corner by the staff. Harvey didn't mind this location. He picked up a tablet in front of him and started to swipe it. The content was mostly about the items up for auction."Hello, everyone! It is good to see all the familiar faces in Grand City's Charity Auction once more," said an old man with a cool expression in traditional garb as he appeared on the platform. His voice wasn't loud, but it was crystal clear.There w
Harvey frowned. "Isn't that a little too far-fetched? An Oracle Text that can predict the future?"Alexei shook his head. "Don't underestimate the Hierophant, Big bro. Few people throughout history could decipher the Book of Changes so thoroughly. "It was said that there was a prince from some oil-producing country who managed to get an Oracle Text that showed the word Chaos."It was predicting that his country would fall into chaos. That prince made early preparations. Half a year later, that country fell into chaos, but the prince managed to prepare for it and suppressed the chaos. He even gained a lot of benefits from it. "After that, the Hierophant's Oracle Text became extremely popular!"Alexei spoke as if he were explaining to Harvey some ancient secrets. He glanced around sneakily, like he was worried that someone would hear him gossiping about the Hierophant.After Harvey heard it, he became curious. "Looks like this Hierophant really has something unique about him. No
Around ten in the evening, Alexei took Harvey to the Grand City's Charitable Auction. The auction was organized by the priesthood. Every time they had an auction, they would invite the socialites to attend.To the socialites, the mysterious Grand City would only show a little bit of itself around this time. In this auction, everyone used H dollars. Of course, there were times when bartering was possible, with the preface that both sides found the trade agreeable.Harvey had also learned about the details of the auction before coming. The mayor was at the top of the social hierarchy, followed by the Seven Families. However, because Wenzel had been missing for all these years, the Hierophant had been leading the Seven Families. That was why the Priesthood's social standing was far higher than before, despite being just a non-essential body in the past.For example, the one who chaired this auction this evening was the so-called Priestess. Harvey had heard plenty of rumors about
"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
