The Lloyd family wasn’t an ordinary family of martial artists, either—they had the support of sacred martial arts training grounds as well. Even the top ten families had no choice but to give them respect. None dared to go against the Lloyds.Blaine only managed to call Keegan here because he owed Master Morgraine a favor. If not for that, he probably wouldn’t be able to ask for Keegan’s help, especially with just his identity.Damon’s deputies quickly stepped forward, admiration evident on their faces, as if they were in the presence of a hero.Chanse and the others didn’t know who Keegan was. Judging from Damon’s attitude, they could sense that he had an extraordinary identity.Chanse then looked at Kurtis, confused. ‘Didn’t he say that he has a huge support? That’s clearly him… But why does he still look a little timid now?’He had a bad feeling.“You’re too kind, Mr. Damon.” Keegan nodded at Damon. “Sorry for disturbing you today.”Keegan instinctively looked at Harvey; hi
“Is there?”Damon showed a stern expression.“If that’s the case, then you should tell me. Here, nobody’s above the law!”Keegan nodded. “As it should! Even if this man is my sworn brother… He’ll have to pay a great price for his faults!”“Huh?”Chanse and the others froze; they didn’t understand what Keegan meant by that.Keegan glared coldly at Kurtis, who was standing behind him. “If you don’t get Madam Kairi and Consultant York’s apology today… You should just get yourself a burial spot.”Bam!Before everyone came to their senses, Kurtis took a step forward with a horrible expression. He slammed his knees on the ground in front of Harvey and Kairi.“Madam Kairi! Consultant York! I was ignorant! It was all my fault!”Kurtis groveled. His movements were intense; every single bang on the ground could be clearly heard.Everybody watched in silence, unable to react. Keegan crossed his arms.“Kurtis had a good relationship with me when we were younger. He helped me before,
“As expected from an elite like you, Mr. Damon. What a generous man! Even so, we have rules. The debt must always be repaid!”Keegan looked at Kairi with a stern expression.“Kurtis offended Madam Kairi, so I will only let this go with Madam Kairi’s permission.”Naturally, Keegan didn’t care about Damon’s opinion at all.This was the same as telling Damon that he had no right to decide upon the situation.Damon’s expression changed slightly. He didn’t think Keegan would completely ignore the first-in-command.With so many people here, he couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed. He smiled at Kairi.“Oh, Kairi. We’re government officials. We represent the people’s benefit. We shouldn’t argue over something trivial!“Since you didn’t suffer any actual harm… Why don’t you give Mr. Kurtis a chance? How does that sound?”Naturally, Damon really wanted to get Kurtis out of the situation. Kurtis would then owe him a huge favor. Surely there would be a time when the stubborn man
“Remember this lesson!”Keegan stepped forward, then kicked Kurtis to the ground.“You should just stay away from Madam Kairi and Consultant York in the future.“You better thank Consultant York for only breaking your leg. If not, I would’ve gotten people to carry a coffin here by now!”Keegan’s calm words made Kurtis instinctively shiver. He knew that his biggest support was a man of his word.Chanse and the others had goosebumps after hearing those words. They finally understood that the underworld was a ruthless and decisive place.Harvey didn’t seem too bothered by this, though. He knew Keegan was just making a statement in front of him. Kurtis’s incident had nothing to do with him, after all.Kurtis kept banging his head on the ground after hearing those words.“Thank you, Madam Kairi! Thank you, Consultant York!“Other than to apologize, I came to prove my innocence as well!“I’m a perverted man, but I’m not stupid either!“I only acted that way because Chanse gave me
Kurtis pulled out his phone, and played a recording with a trembling hand. It was the phone conversation between him and Chanse.No matter how sharp Chanse’s tongue was, he had no way of refuting the situation anymore.Kairi’s eyes turned cold. “A government official, yet you work with outside forces to harm your superior… What a heinous man you are, Chanse!”Harvey glanced at Capri.“It’s time for you to do your job, Director Capri. If you don’t give us an explanation for the situation… You won’t get to keep your position for long!”Capri’s eyes twitched. Inwardly, she cursed Harvey.If Dragon Cell was involved, Chanse would probably get a chance to live… But making her take care of the situation would mean that the John family had to butt in.Handling the situation publicly would turn away the government officials and their families. However, playing favoritism would give Harvey and Kairi’s people a chance for to take over the John family through the government.No matter w
The land department spent three months trying to get the deal, but now, the contract was sent straight to the government without any effort.At this point, Kairi’s authority was completely solidified. The position of second-in-command was hers without question.After dealing with the relocation project and Chanse…Kairi was officially working.The departments she was in charge of were finally reporting to her. She was getting into the groove of her work, too.Harvey had no intention of getting involved; he was only sipping tea in the guest room.He stood up, ready to leave when he was finally done with his tea. He was excited to see just how Damon’s inauguration ceremony was going to go.The man had been suffering losses constantly.The John family wouldn’t just take all the humiliation without fighting back, either.-At dusk, Harvey decided to call a cab back to the Fortune Hall after seeing Kairi still working.As soon as he got out of the car, a figure came out of the sh
“What the? What happened?”Castiel, Leona, and the others ran out after hearing about the news. Everyone became angry after they understood the situation.“You’re talking about that woman, Sir York?!” Castiel exclaimed, gritting his teeth.“She begged me to help… And yet, she lied about every single thing that I asked! I didn’t think that she’d come back to cause you trouble! I’ll deal with her the next time I see her!”Castiel was clearly unhappy about Aleah.“It’s just a small problem. No need to get upset. We meet all sorts of odd people during work, anyway,” Harvey said.He waved his hand, signaling Castiel to calm down.“Is the woman special or something?” he asked curiously.Castiel scoffed.“It’s not that! It’s just completely unbelievable! Take a look here!Castiel stumbled inside before coming back out with a piece of red paper.“The Unbroken War… She’s only fifteen? She looks a lot older than that,” Harvey said. Castiel shook his head.“You’re mistaken, Sir York
At the same time…In the John family’s courtyard.Blaine crossed his arms. He stood on the terrace while looking at the pond in front of him. A fishing line and bait were next to him, but he wasn’t interested in fishing at all.Several security guards were standing behind him. They could tell that Blaine was in a bad mood, so they decided to keep their mouths shut.After a long while, Blaine’s eyes moved slightly. He sat in his chair.“You’re back, Your Holiness?” he said, smiling.“Yes.”Almost at the same time, a woman appeared on the terrace. She put her umbrella to the side before casually sitting beside Blaine, and gulped her wine down.She then licked her lips, as if she didn’t have enough.“You’ve met Harvey, didn’t you? What do you think?” Blaine sipped his tea before finally speaking up. At the same time, he lit up a scented candle. He narrowed his eyes while enjoying the fragrance.“I did,” Aleah replied. “I have to admit, he is quite the talented man. Not only is
"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
