Xyla and the others froze, and finally understood.Talking to Harvey was just a waste of time.It’d be way easier to cripple him instead. His life would be in their hands. He’d have no choice but to obey!“Fuck!”The man chuckled coldly; he naturally knew who Welt was.He stood up; as soon as he did that, his muscles started to bulge and his white coat instantly exploded. His well-defined muscles instantly turned green. His eyes were bloodshot eyes, and he looked as if he had lost his rationale.He charged right toward Harvey, and the simple move was enough to shake the entire earth.This was a Giant—a type of Mutant from America.Harvey watched him curiously; changing one’s muscles through genetic science resembled divine power. Genetic science was a little stronger than what Harvey initially thought.Even so, he had no intention of taking action; all he did was show a little interest.Romina’s expression changed, and she waved her hand; she and a dozen sacrificial soldiers
Bam, bam, bam!A single glance was enough for the man to stumble back.He created quite a lot of distance from Harvey, too.Everyone could tell that the seemingly invincible being was scared witless, as if he had met his arch-nemesis.Xyla and the others were dumbfounded; they didn’t know what was going on.Normally speaking, this man would never be scared of anything. After all, Giants were made with Northern European Berserkers as inspiration. They were mindless killing machines with no sense of fear.And yet, this man seemed horrified.‘What’s going on? Harvey didn’t do anything, did he?‘He only gave a single glance! What’s there to be scared about?‘What a joke!’An unbelievable thought came to Xyla’s mind.She knew Harvey was a capable man…but no matter how strong he was, one’s strength could only be determined after getting into a fight.Harvey only looked at the Giant, and the Giant stumbled back.This didn’t make sense!“Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!”The man came to his se
Not only did a mere fork penetrate the defenses he prided himself in, he was also left in a life-or-death situation.Instantly, his face went pale. He fell into a corner, panting for air. No matter how resentful he was, he had no other choice but to remain still.Everyone was shocked to see it.‘A fork?! All he used was a fork!‘That was enough to take down a Mutant? That man’s completely invincible!‘That’s… That’s just insane!’Welt’s entire body was shivering in fear as soon as he saw this.He knew Harvey was scary, but not to this extent. Judging from what happened, it’d be all too easy for Harvey to take him out.He instantly retreated to the back of the crowd without saying a single word.Harvey probably didn’t care about him at first… But if Harvey decided to kill him on a whim, he wouldn’t get a chance to survive.“How dare you cripple our important guest?! You have no laws!”Xyla quickly calmed herself down after her initial shock.Having seen everything, she could
Clack!Harvey instantly crushed the teacup in his hand.Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!Shards flew out everywhere, piercing the wrists of the disciples who were preparing to pull the trigger.Excruciating pain traveled throughout their entire body, turning them numb. At this point, they couldn’t even hold their firearms straight, let alone pull the trigger. Loud clacks resounded as they dropped their firearms to the ground.Seeing this, Xyla’s face turned awful. She was just about to pull out her firearm, but Harvey had already pointed his at her head while wrapping it with some tissues.“These firearms are interesting… As soon as I pull the trigger, your head’s going to blow up like a watermelon, right?”Harvey toyed around with his firearm as he slowly stepped forward with a faint smile.Xyla’s head was covered in cold sweat, and she gritted her teeth. “You wouldn’t dare!”More people rushed into the room with fierce expressions, holding the same type of firearm. However, nobody da
At the same time, inside a coffin made out of golden-silk phoebe wood in the bar’s warehouse…When Xyla made a noise with her prayer wheel, someone exhaling could be heard. Soon after, a horrifying aura seeped out.A loud bang came, and the coffin was pushed open from the inside. From inside, a scrawny-looking elderly man in a yellow robe sat up. He had sluggish eyes, and the corner of his mouth was slightly rotting; he looked like a walking corpse.If it wasn’t for his occasionally raising chest, people would treat him as an actual zombie.His body moved, and he flew out of the coffin like a ghost.At the same time, in the No. 1 room…Harvey smiled at Xyla as soon as he felt a strange, creepy aura.“You told me that times have changed. It’s the age of firearms, no? What’s the point of getting an expert to help you, then?”Xyla chuckled coldly.“You think you’re impressive, don’t you? You think you’re invincible, right? You think firearms don’t work against you!“Well, I’ll m
Harvey grew curious when he sensed the aura locking onto him.The Smalt Sect’s tricks had exceeded his expectations. The sect wouldn’t be as complacent as some of the sacred martial arts training grounds, either. They were used to their tradition, but they could also accept things of modern society. Terrifying forces like these would be difficult to deal with.There was a reason the sect could survive for more than a thousand years.While Harvey was thinking about the situation, a figure in a yellow robe stepped into the room from the window.His robes were worn out, and the beads hanging on his neck were filled with blood and scars. His hands were folded together, and he glanced at Harvey with a grim expression.With a getup like that, he wouldn’t even need to wear makeup for a horror movie.The tiles where he landed instantly turned to dust, leaving only two faint footprints.Horrifying! How horrifying!The disciples of the Smalt Sect instinctively stepped back.Even a few
American firearms were clearly extraordinary; firearms designed to combat expert martial artists and Mutants would surely have better firepower compared to the ordinary ones.With the terrifying sound and the energy of the shot, ripples could be felt around the entire room.Seeing that, the Demon Monk took a few steps back.Harvey smiled faintly, and blew on the barrel of his firearm.“You’re not bad with the firearm, kid.”The Demon Monk felt a sharp pain, and saw a red mark on his palm. He flicked his hand to dissipate all the residue energy before chuckling wretchedly at Harvey.“You managed to get the upper hand with a weapon, but I’ll still rip you to shreds in the end!”He was convinced that without the special firearm, Harvey would’ve died to his move.“Is that so?” Harvey said, smiling. The Demon Monk scoffed coldly, then pounced forward in another direction before throwing a punch.Seeing that, Harvey calmly turned his firearm and pulled the trigger.Bang, bang, ba
Everyone’s jaws dropped. Romina, who had already experienced Harvey’s strength, couldn’t believe what she saw either.‘That’s no ordinary martial artist! That’s a Demon Monk of the Smalt Sect! He managed to send an expert of that caliber flying with a single slap?‘That… That’s just too much…’The Smalt Sect’s reputation instantly went down the drain after everything that happened. It was a shame; the disciples weren’t as excited compared to before, neither did they have any thirst for revenge.An unspeakable chill went down everyone’s spine, making them shiver and grit their teeth in fear. Their souls were frozen stiff.“Go! What are you waiting for? Go right now! Kill him!”After freezing in place for a long while, Xyla snapped out of it and gritted her teeth. She knew she had to kill Harvey then and there.The Demon Monk, a Mutant from America, and Emil, the man who Amos had been trying to get closer to…If she didn’t accomplish her goal and let all this happen… Even if sh
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
