“You want the One-Eyed Bead? Just say the word. Will everything go back to normal once you have it?” Harvey said. Rae froze; she didn’t think that Harvey would be so upfront. “You robbed it from a prominent figure with your heinous ways! If you give it to me, I’ll speak up for you,” she said. “That’s it?”Harvey chuckled. “Forget it, then. Bring me my phone. I’ll ask your boss about what happened here. How did he manage to turn you all into a bunch of dirty scumbags?”“Enough! You talk like you actually have power here! If you actually did, how did you even get in this mess in the first place?!”Rae waved her hand for someone to bring Harvey’s phone, then threw it on the table.“Go ahead! Make the call! We’ll see how you call my boss!” she snarled.‘Trash like this is trying to show off, just because he has some money? What a joke!’Harvey quickly switched on his phone, and looked at the number Ethan texted him.Beep, beep, beep!Soon, a respectful yet excited voice cou
The other two inspectors looked disdainful after hearing Rae talk down on Harvey.‘What can a young kid from a big city like him even do?’ they thought.“This doesn’t make sense!”Rae’s beautiful face was filled with arrogance.“Uncle Harlan’s not that impressive of a man, but he won’t just let a show-off like you marry Billie, right? Is he blind or what?“Or did you manage to fool him with your pretty words? If my father arranged my marriage with someone like you, I’d kill you as soon as I see you!”The inspectors chuckled scornfully after hearing Rae’s words.‘That’s what you get for showing off like that! You’d have to pay sooner or later!’Harvey smiled; he didn’t seem threatened at all. “I suggest you wrap a few more layers of cloth around your knees. It’d be more convenient for you to kneel later.”“Keep pretending! We’ll see what happens!”Rae had nothing but disgust on her face.“Keep at it if you dare! We’ll see if you’re worth anything by then!“Even if you have y
Through his experience and strength, Dutch managed to achieve great accomplishments in just three years.Not only did he single-handedly capture eighteen of the toughest bandits in the outskirts, but he wiped out thirty-six rogue gangs here as well.The outskirts’ security had risen and become much better ever since he rose to power. Even the Border Force had to show their respect by not causing trouble here.Safe to say, the young director of the police station was a rare sight to behold. Because of his achievements, the Mammoth Tribe even chose him as a candidate to succeed his family. His resume, background, and power were simply extraordinary.Dutch, who usually gave others a warm feeling, stepped out of the car with a darkened face.“Director Dutch!” Rae and the others said while saluting him.Asher, Harlan, Judith, and their families instinctively stepped forward as well. “Director Dutch!”“It’s been a while, Director Dutch. Last time…” Asher said, smiling. “Enough!”
“S…Sir York! Hello!”The door was pushed open. Dutch tidied up his uniform, and went inside.Even a prominent figure like him felt extremely nervous the moment he stepped into the room. He felt as if he was about to witness his god.As soon as he laid eyes on Harvey’s gaze, he instantly knew. The Head Coach had hidden his identity in coming here. Dutch, in his excitement, almost uttered that name. He stooped right in front of Harvey, not knowing whether he should stand or sit.Harvey raised his head, and glanced at Dutch. “Let’s talk.”“You hear that?! Everybody out!” Dutch yelled. He instantly chased everyone out of the room, then locked the door and pulled the plug of all surveillance cameras inside.“It’s my fault my subordinates are like this! I’m sorry you’re suffering because of this…” he said, after saluting respectfully.“Don’t worry about it.”Harvey smiled.“Power means everything here. There are all sorts of different forces in the outskirts as well.“You’re no
Dutch smiled.“There’s something you don’t know, Head Coach. As a sect, the Aenar Temple has peculiar habits. It’s said that they have a lot of magical instruments hidden in one of the statues.“The statue broke, causing a lot of those instruments to fall out. They needed to perform a ritual so they could take the instruments away to be rebuilt.“The entire process is extremely important for them. That was why they requested the government to bring us for their security work.”Harvey pondered the situation.“Out of all those instruments, is the legendary Two-Eyed Bead also included? It’s also going to show up at their ceremony later, right?”Dutch froze.“How did you know about that? Even in the Aenar Temple, this is a huge secret.“It’s said that the top ten families, the five hidden families, the four cornerstones, and the sacred martial arts training grounds are interested in the bead.“I’ve been catching a lot of thieves because of it, too. Security work is grueling there…
Dutch Cobb briefly thought about the situation.“I understand.“Another thing; Evermore’s probably behind the situation as well.“Other than that, the three great temples aren’t exactly righteous entities either.“The water’s too deep here.”Harvey York stood before tapping Dutch on the shoulder.“You’re lucky that I’m here.“If not, even your family would probably be destroyed because of this…”Cold sweats started dripping down Dutch’s back when he finally came to his senses.“I’ll quit the job immediately…”“Who’s asking you to quit?Harvey cracked a smile.“Who’s going to be my support here if you do?“I can’t just tell everyone I’m the Head Coach now, can I?“Listen to me! Make up an excuse! It doesn’t matter if it’s a cold or your stomach hurts!“Pretend to be sick!“It doesn’t matter if you do security work for Aenar Temple.“We’ll just have to watch the show when the time comes.Harvey quickly changed the topic.“Right. Let’s talk business. If I’m just an ordi
Under everyone’s shocked gaze, Harvey York strode out of the police station.Nobody would dare say a word since Dutch Cobb was also beside him.Freddie Robbins and the other inspectors kneeled on the mud outside the entrance.Rae Higgs hesitated. She wanted to kneel, but her remaining dignity would not allow her to do such a thing.Then again, Harvey did not mind anyway. He did not want to be too ruthless, for Harlan Higgs’ sake.He sat in Dutch’s Land Rover before smiling faintly at Judith Pedler. The car drove off soon after.“What? What’s going on here?“Why does the director of the police station take that bastard away?“How come I don’t know about his background?”Whitley Cobb was shivering in anger. She came all the way here to crush the filth of a man.And yet, what had happened?What was going on?Harlan was pleased.On the other hand, Billie Higgs was showing utter pride and disdain.“Did you forget about the old hag he’s being kept by, Mom?“The four great trib
While Whitley Cobb and the others were still figuring out Harvey York’s identity, he had arrived at the entrance of a small town.The town was named Shadeville since it would only appear in the dead of night.This was an extremely controversial place connecting Country H and Mongolia.Both countries would have to think twice before sending any troops around here.Because of this, all sorts of criminals would gather here, along with the wealthy and strong, just to pursue excitement.According to Dutch Cobb, anything could be bought here with the right amount of money.Information, firearms, people, and things beyond human comprehension could be found.According to Dutch’s intel, the source of the outskirts’ dizzy pills misused in many Casino-Palaces was also here.This was why the police never solved the case for the longest time.Ordinary inspectors would not even be able to survive in a place like this, let alone investigate.Dutch told Harvey that the Wolven Tribe seemed to
"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
