Half an hour later, Harvey arrived at the main hall of Golden Sands’ top general hospital.Kairi and Elias approached him, looking miserable.“You’re here, Sir York.”Even with Elias’s support to take control of the city’s situation, there were some things that just couldn’t be predicted.Harvey wasted no time to ask, “What happened?”Kairi made a gesture for him to follow her. “You remember Nobuyuki, right?”Harvey froze; of course he did. He had humiliated that Islander and exposed the man for who he was. What else could’ve happened?Kairi took a deep breath.“Saul sent the Islander to us. Normally speaking, we’d be able to take down Blaine and the others if we could get more information out of Nobuyuki.“After all, we suspect that his appearance was involved with Blaine.“However, something happened halfway through our questioning…”Harvey stopped in his tracks before looking at Kairi. “He died?”Kairi sighed. “That’d be much better. No, he’s on the verge of death right
“Other than that, there’s one more worry that’s causing us to stay away from him.“We suspect that he might be a bioweapon prepared by the Island Nations. After all, they’re quite proficient at that sort of thing. If Nobuyuki is a weapon to cause chaos to the country…”Kairi let out a huge sigh.“Besides, if the virus were to spread throughout the city with twenty million people in it… The Patel family would be blamed for all this.”Harvey frowned.“Open the door. I’ll go take a look.”Harvey had a speculation, but he didn’t want to draw a conclusion just yet.The doctors hesitated for a moment. However, Kairi waved her hand for them to open the door.Creak…The door slowly opened, and Harvey looked inside.“We meet again, Mr. Nobuyuki.”Nobuyuki instantly turned his head and pounced on Harvey with bloodshot eyes. Safe to say, only one thing came to mind for the people who watched movies: zombies!“Look out, Sir York!” Kairi exclaimed.Harvey frowned, then kicked Nobuyuki
Chief Jackson scoffed.“At least you know that much!“But look at the patient! He’s still struggling!“His heartbeat’s still showing on the sensor! He’s not dead!“To us doctors, it’s our biggest humiliation to see a patient die in front of our eyes!”“That’s no heartbeat. It’s breathing. Something’s breathing inside of him.“If you get close to him, then believe me… That thing will enter your body.“You’ll turn exactly like him! I speak nothing but the truth. It’s up to you to believe me or not.”Chief Jackson’s righteous expression disappeared, and he instinctively shivered.“Nonsense!” he exclaimed, gritting his teeth. “How did the staff who put Nobuyuki in there come out perfectly fine a few hours ago, then?!”“The thing inside him isn’t matured yet. It probably matured an hour or so ago.“If I’m correct, Nobuyuki’s heartbeat must’ve restarted during that time, right? He was probably no different from a dead person before that.”Chief Jackson froze. “How did you know?”
A white worm wriggled right out of Nobuyuki’s mouth.The worm was long and furry; it pushed itself straight into the rooster’s neck.Nobuyuki’s body went stiff, and he reverted to a corpse.The rooster tilted its head, eyes bloodshot, and stumbled around the room endlessly. It’d occasionally cackle, striking fear in everyone’s hearts.Not long after, the rooster shivered before falling flat on the ground.The same long white worm crawled out of its mouth.At the crucial moment, Harvey kicked the isolation room open and threw a lit lighter inside.Fwoosh!A foul stench seeped out; the worm went stiff, losing all signs of life as it was burned to ashes.Harvey finally let out a sigh of relief. “Right. It’s done now.”“Is it really?” Chief Jackson asked.Harvey nodded before wiping his fingers with some tissues.“Are you not going to explain this to us, Sir York?” Kairi asked. “Is this a part of a Yin-Yang Technique, or a Frontier Possession Technique? Why is it so scary?”Ha
Kairi didn’t believe there’d be a spy in the Patel family…But she didn’t say anything about it. She only made a gesture to the driver to follow Harvey’s orders.The car quietly went to the back.Harvey put on a face mask with a cap to hide his face before heading to the isolation area again.When he went through the fire exit, he frowned. The exit was only supposed to work from the inside, but he could push the door open easily.As soon as he touched the lock, he knew someone had tampered with it before.Without any hesitation, he quickly went to the room Nobuyuki was held in. A few figures were gathered inside, with some taking pictures with a phone.Harvey turned on the lights in the corridor.“What are you people doing there?” he demanded. The people taking pictures were clearly startled.According to their information, nobody should’ve been here since everyone in the hospital was changing shifts. And yet, a mysterious man showed up just in time.A woman with beautiful
The representative of Golden Sands’ Island Nations Embassy bringing expert martial artists to the isolation room…Anyone bright enough would know what was going on behind the scenes.Harvey pointed at Ayaka’s phone without wasting any time.“I don’t care how you people got in. You can leave after deleting all the pictures and videos on your phone.”“Delete them?”Ayaka was surprised.“This is evidence of you people shamelessly using a bioweapon on a mighty Islander!“Just you wait! Your country will be judged once we hand this over to the World Civilization Department!“You better not get yourself involved! A small fry like you has no right, nor do you have the ability to!”“You better cooperate. It’d be bad for both sides if anything bad happens,” Harvey warned.Ayaka showed utter disdain after hearing Harvey’s words. She took a step forward, and studied Harvey.“You think we’ll believe you just because you say that? Who do you think you are?”“The Patel family has fifty-o
As the representative of Golden Sands’ Island Nations Embassy, Ayaka had the most exposure to the upper social circle of the city. Naturally, she knew who Kairi was as well.To her, the five hidden families and the Hermit Families had always been discreet as to hide themselves from the top ten families.It was why Kairi had been respectful toward her before.Who would’ve thought she’d slap Ayaka in the face without holding back?The Islanders were enraged. They were used to flaunting their strength back in the Island Nations. Suffering such humiliation was simply unforgivable!“Do you understand the consequences you’ll bear for doing this?”Ayaka came to her senses, and covered her face.“Don’t you know just how uncivilized you are right now?“Shaming a new royal family like this would get you immediate jail time back in the Island Nations!“Let me tell you something! Because of this slap, you and the family behind you… No! The entirety of Country H will have to pay for this!
Harvey and Kairi looked at each other after hearing Ayaka’s words. Harvey was completely speechless.“Are you that stupid?“You want Country H out of the World Civilization Department? You want the counties to sanction us as well?“Are you still dreaming?“Let’s not even decide if the matter’s even worth escalating to that point.“Even if it was…“Did you forget something? Country H also has the right to vote.“You want to kick the country out? Are you insane?“As for Nobuyuki, you people know exactly what happened too.“If you’re going to escalate things, then be my guest. Hopefully, you’ll be able to deal with the consequences after this!”Harvey couldn’t be bothered to talk to Ayaka anymore. He signaled Elias to take the Islanders’ phones and delete everything inside before throwing them out.-When everyone was out of the hospital, Kairi looked at Harvey. “Are we really going to let them go like this?”“They clearly came prepared,” Harvey replied. “If we detained or hu
"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
