“Impressive! You’re more impressive than I thought!”Cedric was an experienced man.As soon as he came to his senses, the rage on his face was instantly replaced by a brewing murderous intent.“I’ve seen a lot of rich playboys back in Kurbus, I’ve seen young masters in Wolsing, and I’ve met a lot of so-called rich families abroad as well…“But I have to admit, it’s my first time seeing someone as arrogant and suicidal as you.“Not only did you miss out on the chance Elodie tried to give you, but you’ve made me furious as well.“Did you know? People who anger me will suffer quite a bit.”Cedric pulled out his cigar, lit it up, and took a deep drag.“You’ll have to pay for this. At this point, it’s useless for you to regret your decisions.”Harvey smiled faintly. “Since you’re so impressive, why don’t you show me what you’ve got?“Let me see just how powerful you are!“Let’s see if you can scare me off!“I’ll tell you this right now, I’ve destroyed many scumbags every singl
“The times have changed. I didn’t think a nobody like you would dare to go against Young Master Cedric!”A figure came out of the courtyard; he looked like a man in his thirties, dressed in ordinary clothing. He didn’t have striking features, but a terrifying aura could be felt on him.The Corpse Walkers were exhilarated when they saw him.“You’re here, Mr. Gepard!“Quick! Take out this bastard here! He’s defying the Corpse Walkers!“With a rare talent like yours, nobody else can compete!”He was the man most likely to become a God of War of the Corpse Walkers’ younger generation. He was more powerful and terrifying compared to the second elder, and was also Cedric’s strongest guard.With Gepard, Cedric believed he could do whatever he pleased in the Forbidden City.“Harvey, right? I’ve seen your files. You’re impressive, but you’re not enough to defeat me.“I don’t care if you’re in the right or not. All I know is that you’ve provoked Young Master Cedric.“He’s in a bad mood
Gepard thought Harvey was scared after seeing his moves.“Now you’re scared!” he exclaimed, casually crossing his arms. “Don’t waste my time! I like being straightforward. Kneel, or die!”“You don’t know how strong Mr. Gepard is, Harvey!” Elodie said, pretending to be concerne for Harvey.“It’s said that he went up against ten expert martial artists at the same time, and won! He’s invincible!“He killed many Corpse Walkers who defied him, too! You better know what’s good for you!“Listen to me! Kneel already!“I’m telling you this for your own good!”“Well? Are you kneeling or not?” Gepard demanded arrogantly. “Are you? If you make me take action…”“You have no right to that.” Harvey immediately cut off Gepard, infuriating the latter.At the same time, he didn’t waste any time and took a step forward, swinging his palm toward Gepard. Speed was the only way to long success.Harvey’s slap seemed powerless and slow…“How dare a mere son-in-law even go against me?” Gepard spat w
“If you anger him…“He’ll make you suffer with just a single word!”Gepard chuckled coldly.“I’m so scared!” Harvey said mockingly.Sensing Harvey mocking him, Gepard laughed angrily. “You truly are an ignorant man, Harvey! Don’t you know what the Martial Arts Alliance means?“If we only talk about something recent, Representative York led the country’s Martial Arts Alliance and became one of the directors of the world’s Martial Arts Alliance!“Do you know how impressive Representative York is?“Well, my teacher is his right-hand man!“I’m basically a rising star to him!“If you go against me, you go against my teacher!“You’d be offending Representative York and the Martial Arts Alliance! You’ll be going against the country’s martial arts world!“You’re dead!”After hearing Gepard’s words, the Corpse Walkers glared at Harvey righteously.They all knew how impressive of a man Representative York was.Not only did he take down the arrogant Indians, but he also took contr
Pffft!Gepard spat out blood and slammed to the ground, his body twitching. He mustered his strength to get back up, but to no avail.His expression changed, and he screamed in anger, “What did you do to me, you bastard? What did you do?!”Harvey wiped his fingers with some tissues, not even raising his head.“You’re a martial artist yourself. Can’t you tell? You’re a cripple now. Live the rest of your life in a wheelchair.”“What?!”Gepard’s expression changed instantly. He desperately tried to stand up to fight Harvey to the death. Just as he was about to stand, he fell to the ground again. His body ached all over.Not only did Harvey cripple his martial arts, but he also severed Gepard’s connections to his veins. From then onward, he wouldn’t be able to lift even a single finger.“How dare you cripple Mr. Gepard, you bastard?”The Corpse Walkers were enraged; they pointed their firearms and crossbows right in Harvey’s direction.“Do you know what you just did, Harvey? Do y
Harvey smiled. He had already figured that Blaine was involved in the situation, but he had no proof.Now that Kensley had shown up, there was no need for that any longer.She was the biggest proof there was.“Ms. Kensley, Vaughn won’t be here to protect you anymore,” Harvey said calmly as he looked at Kensley’s fierce expression.“If I break your limbs on accident…“You won’t get another chance to be with your dear young master. You’ll be staying with Vaughn instead.“Have you thought of the consequences of coming here?”Kensley’s face darkened.The elder of the Corpse Walkers coldly chuckled.“Do you see how arrogant that bastard is, Ms. Kensley?“Not only did he disrespect us, but he even crippled Mr. Gepard!“The Corpse Walkers were invited by Young Master John. We only considered developing and investing in the Golden Sands because he asked us to!“And now, this nobody came all the way here just to trample all over us!“At this point, we need to reconsider the deal we
Kensley laughed coldly.“I don’t care what Young Master Cedric did, Harvey!“Even if he committed murder and arson…“He’s still Young Master John’s important guest!“No matter what he did, he doesn’t need to answer to you!“In any case…“You can report this to the authorities or the John family!“But who gave you the right and courage to do whatever you please in the John family’s territory?“You already hurt Young Master Cedric’s men! I’m sorry, but I’ll have to take you down!”Harvey chuckled.“Even your young master might not say things like that to me…“And yet, you think you have the right to that?”Kensley smiled coldly.“Don’t forget. You only have this authority because of the Heaven’s Gate’s badge!“It’s not because you’re actually the acting head!“Even if you are, you have no choice but to kneel in front of the Country H Martial Arts Alliance!“I have another identity recently, too!“I’m Golden Sands’ representative of the Martial Arts Alliance!”Kensley ap
Harvey held his phone up with a small smile.“Of course there is.“These people here wouldn’t lay a single finger on me.“Your fake power will be stripped away soon enough!”Kensley laughed coldly.“Stop pretending, Harvey!“Your own ignorance is making you naive!“What’s that? You’re going to remove me from power?“Are you even worthy?”Harvey chuckled. “Seeing you acting this impressive, I wonder if you’ll stay the same later…”“Keep pretending!” Kensley scoffed. “Do you think you can do anything to me? Let me tell you something! If you could actually do something like that, I’ll even strip just for you!”Harvey smiled. “I’m sorry, but I’m not interested in you at all.”“You…” Kensley was shivering in anger.Harvey calmly dialed a number, then turned on speaker mode. An old yet dignified voice could soon be heard from the other side.“This is the Martial Arts Alliance’s office. What seems to be the problem?”“I don’t care who you are, but I’m Harvey…” Harvey began. “I
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
