“I’m sorry, Mr. Quill! This was my fault!“I apologize! I do hope that you can forgive me before you go!”Different from before, Blaine’s arrogance was replaced by a sense of humbleness. He didn’t seem like a young master at all then.Everyone was shocked, but they had to admit that it was quite impressive for him to be so flexible. Only a true elite like him could endure this much humiliation.Even Harvey started to show a playful expression when he looked at Blaine.A prideful and arrogant man would be easy to deal with, but… A flexible man who was prepared to endure any hardship would no doubt be tough to deal with.When Blaine was done apologizing, he finally stood.“We’re leaving!”He left, glaring at the group of people who came to cause trouble in the first place.“Did I say that they can leave?” Harvey exclaimed coldly.“What else do you want?!” Alani yelled.She and the rest glared furiously at Harvey. Blaine had already kneeled for their mistakes. Was Harvey actual
Blaine took a deep breath.“There’s a saying… What goes around, comes around.“It’s never too late to take revenge. I won’t let this go easily. I’ll make sure that Harvey gets the lesson he deserves.”Alani rolled her eyes at Blaine after hearing him skimping past the subject.“Why don’t you deal with him yourself, Young Master John? If you sneak up on him, he won’t know what hit him!“Of course, if you don’t want him dead, you should just go for the people around him! Not only would he suffer, but there’s also a chance he’d simply collapse!“That way, we’d win without a fight! I’ll make sure the higher-ups know of your achievements! They’ll…”Slap!Blaine swung the back of his palm across Alani’s face.She screamed in pain, and slammed into the corner of the car. Her body trembled profusely. An unspeakable force was hidden in the seemingly-simple slap.Alani covered her face with a bitter expression.“What are you doing, Young Master John?!“Don’t forget! Not only am I fro
Kairi approached Harvey and observed him up before sighing.“Thanks for everything for the past few days.“Blaine finally took action, but you managed to take him down twice. It’d be hard for you two to reconcile at this point.“Our battle with Blaine will be completely public now too.“He has Westley with him as well. He’s just a lackey for Emery, but he’s still a prominent figure who can do whatever he wants to in Wolsing.“Two slaps for two people. There’s a storm coming to Golden Sands soon enough…”Harvey put his cup down.“Isn’t this exactly what you hoped for?“The city’s situation is as clear as day. The wealthy families of Golden Sands need to pick a side now. Either the Johns keep their control, or the Patels will unite the entire city.“This is good for you, no? It’s always better to be decisive.“Things can only be handled neatly that way.”Kairi chuckled bitterly.“I do want things to end neatly… But you should know that I’m not able to take control of the situ
Blaine took a deep breath as if to calm the unusual throbbing of his body, before respectfully taking a step forward.“I’m here to see you again, Aunt.”“I told you many times, Blaine. I’m a monk now. You may call me Master Mograine.”The monk turned around before glancing at Blaine with an annoyed look. She was glaring fiercely, but her eyes were still a captivating gaze.Blaine smiled.“You’ll always be my aunt. It doesn’t matter if you’re a monk or not. This place is yours to stay for as long as you want.Master Morgraine chuckled, then rubbed Blaine’s head.“It’s been a while since you came here. Is something troubling you?”“Not only are you one of the four elders of the Immortal Pavilion, but you’re also a miracle doctor who even countless wealthy families couldn’t get,” Blaine said.“It wouldn’t be exaggerating to say that you have a high status. With my identity, I wouldn’t dare show up all the time! You might just hate me if I come too much!” he added.“You’ve been a
“I hope you can use your status to have a word with Representative York. I’ll be able to apologize in person after that.“I’m being sincere, Aunt! I can take any punishment!“I just hope that Representative York can stop making things hard for the Johns… I can’t drag the family down with my mistake alone…”Blaine looked as if he was ready to change.Master Mograine slowly sat down before sipping her tea.“Representative York? The man who defeated all of India’s top talents in Flutwell? He’s in Golden Sands?”Blaine sighed.“There are things that you don’t know, since you’re secluding yourself.“Not only is he here, but he’s also been causing trouble in the entire city.“Heaven’s Gate underwent a complete change of power because of him.“He even killed Layton because of this.”Blaine casually explained everything Harvey had done in a mere few sentences. He didn’t imply anything, nor did he add his feelings into the equation; it was just a casual explanation.After a long tim
“You’re staying.”Master Mograine let out a cold chuckle.“I’m just an outsider, but my family still belongs in the world.“I haven’t left ever since I joined the sacred martial arts training ground because I couldn’t let my family go.“You people are my worst obstacles!“It’s only natural to do something for you this once.“I’ll show Representative York just how deep the waters run in Golden Sands!“Even the sacred martial arts training grounds have no choice but to humble themselves!“What’s the point of that man’s existence when all he can do is flaunt using the Martial Arts Alliance’s name?“I’ll make sure he gets a good lesson!”Blaine John gave a horrible expression.“That’s no good…“You haven’t fought in many years.“Harvey York was capable of killing Layton Surrey!“Legends say that he’s also on par with a God of War…“This is just…”Master Mograine scoffed.“Do you think I’m not capable of the same thing?”“I know you’re a God of War, but…”“There won’t be
Right as Blaine John left with the badge, Harvey York resumed his job as a geomancy expert at the Fortune Hall.Castiel Foster was already panicking since he was the only one tending to the customers.With Harvey back, the morale of the entire place was instantly raised again.After three days of peace and quiet, Kade Bolton showed a horrible expression when he came to the Fortune Hall from Heaven’s Gate’s headquarters.“This is bad, Sir York,” he said, quickly walking towards Harvey.“It’s only normal for something to happen in the city now, right?Harvey spoke while drawing up a talisman for a customer.“Did someone challenge your family?”Kade shook his head.“No, but someone was looking to cause trouble to the Pagan family.”Harvey froze. He quickly wiped his hand with wet wipes before leading Kade to the back.“Tell me more.”Harvey cut to the chase.“There’s something you don’t know, Sir York. Other than having the biggest appraisal businesses in the city, the Pagan
“That said, a woman in traditional clothing showed up at the site on an afternoon.“She easily found twelve tempest-type gems, then announced that nothing was left to find in the first batch.“Nobody believed her at first, but the next dozens of customers couldn’t even find a gem the size of their pinky!“Then, the customers stopped after that.“The next day—yesterday, the woman came again when the second batch of stones showed up.“She easily found another twelve gems before announcing the same thing.“Nobody dared to challenge her anymore.“Seventy percent of the stones that could be turned into piles of gold were instantly recognized as garbage that nobody would bother to examine.“Today’s the third day.“According to the plan, we’ll be releasing our final batch.“If that woman comes again, I’m afraid…”Arlet Pagan was helpless.It would be nothing if the woman only found a few gems; not only would it hype the atmosphere, but the customers would also be in a craze after
"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
