Marlee scoffed coldly before disdainfully wiping her fingers with some tissue on the table.Naturally, she couldn’t help but feel disgusted after slapping Inspector Lee in the face.“Kneel and apologize!” the butler exclaimed. “You! And you!”The butler pointed at Reggie, then Inspector Lee.Reggie’s eyes twitched; he didn’t understand how Harvey was this lucky with women. Not just that, the women around here were all extremely outstanding people.With the Xeno family’s background, Reggie had no right to even go against the Hunt family.But for him to kneel and apologize…Reggie and Inspector Lee looked at each other.“This was just a misunderstanding! I…”Slap!The butler swung the back of his palm forward; he had no intention of holding back against Reggie.“Apologize!”Reggie’s eyes twitched again. “My father’s…”Slap!The butler slapped him in the face again. “Apologize!”Reggie gritted his teeth.“For the Country H Commercial Group’s sake…”Slap!“Apologize!”Re
“Your deal’s really tempting me right now.”Harvey smiled.“That said, I’ll have to tell you the same thing. I don’t have the Honey Pill. Thank you for the generous offer, though.”“Fine!”Marlee coldly chuckled.“Don’t think that the woman beside you can protect you!“Her family can’t even keep itself afloat right now!“Don’t even try to rely on her!“If you regret your decision, you can always call me.”Marlee pulled out a card, then set it on the table before leaving.The butler followed behind her as well.Inspector Lee stumbled off the ground as soon as he saw Marlee leaving; he fearfully glanced at Harvey before finally speaking up again.“Young Master Reggie, should we…?”“Are you fucking insane?!”Reggie stumbled off the ground with a vengeful glare.Harvey refused Marlee’s help, but she still left him her name card.This was enough to tell that if Harvey wanted to, he’d become the Hunt family’s important guest with a single phone call!Before making sure of Ha
Ten minutes later, peace and quiet returned to the room.Reggie and the others had already left, with the room completely tidied up.Harvey and the others weren’t eating despite the table full of dishes; the sight alone was enough to show Reggie’s attitude towards the situation.“Are you really not going to deal with the Hunt family, Sir York?”Ray hesitated for a moment before speaking up again.“What? Do I have to?” Harvey said curiously; it was rare for Ray to be this direct.“If I remember correctly, Lieutenant Colonel Ethan is from the same family…”“Ethan?”Harvey froze before he suddenly remembered.Brothers of the Sword Camp all came from extremely wealthy families.Ethan and Travis came from the Hunt family.But because of Marlee’s attitude, he didn’t want to get himself involved.That said, he had no choice for Ethan’s sake.Harvey pondered the situation for a moment before speaking up again.“Ray, find out what’s going on with the Hunt family’s old lady. I’ll t
Harvey turned on his phone’s speakers despite Yvonne and Ray beside him.“What’s up, Ethan?”Normally speaking, Ethan wouldn’t call Harvey on his own; something must’ve happened.“There’s something I’d like to ask, Sir York; are you in Wolsing right now?”Ethan hesitated for a moment before speaking up.“Is this about your family?”“Keen eye as usual.”Ethan bitterly chuckled.“Just now, I received reports of the direct descendant plotting against someone with your name.“I was wondering if it was actually you. Those people want to die at this point…”Ethan awkwardly changed the subject.“That said, they didn’t mean to do all this; they’re just panicking at this point. For my sake, please let them off the hook…”Harvey smiled.“I wouldn’t be taking your call right now if I cared.“We’ve been brothers for many years now; just say what’s on your mind. I’m already annoyed with how much you’re beating around the bush right now.”“Can’t hide anything from you, Sir York,” Etha
Half an hour later, Harvey sat in the back of a Rolls-Royce after his breakfast.The professional driver was none other than the person who had the blessing to meet Harvey before—the butler himself.The butler couldn’t help but feel disdain when seeing Harvey’s face.After all, Harvey had already refused Marlee’s offer, yet he came back here just to check in on the old lady.The butler was sure that Harvey was just showing off at this point.Harvey ignored the butler’s expression and flipped through the documents that Ethan sent about her grandmother.That said, it was only natural for his information to be a little outdated since he wasn’t in Wolsing.Harvey kept looking through the documents before glancing at the butler.“What’s going on with the old lady right now?”The butler curled his lips, acting all high and mighty.“Just like a few days ago, she is still unconscious.“Because of your refusal to work with us, the family’s old man even asked a lot of well-known peopl
Harvey glanced around him, and saw a young female priest in a purple robe.The woman’s skin was as bright as snow, with an extremely beautiful face; she didn’t seem like a priest in the slightest.The people around seemed to be following her as well.Harvey remembered that people in purple robes were extremely well-respected.The priest felt Harvey’s gaze, and fiercely looking over. She showed a high and mighty expression. She finally looked away before treating Harvey as some talentless nobody.The others were completely disinterested in him as well.After all, the old lady’s situation was the most important.Anyone who solved the problem would be owed a huge favor from the Hunt family.“Thank you, everyone!”A man in his fifties, with a square face, slowly came over. Everyone showed stern expressions when they saw his face.“Mr. Veer!”It was clear this was the current person in charge of the Hunt family’s direct descendants, Veer Hunt. He was Ethan’s uncle, and the fathe
Veer Hunt’s eyes lit up slightly before reaching for Harvey York’s hand.“Sir York!“Marlee and Ethan mentioned about you!“No matter what happened, let’s just let bygones be bygones!“Since Ethan gave me his guarantee, I naturally trusted him too!“My mother’s life is in your hands now.”Harvey smiled.“You’re too kind.“But then, I have to tell you something right now.“This is to prevent further misunderstanding.”Veer froze.“Please.”“I don’t have the Honey Pill, but I’ll do my best to save the old lady.”Harvey looked deep into Veer’s eyes.Veer froze again after hearing Harvey’s honest words.His expression instantly darkened before regaining his composure.“I appreciate your honesty. There’s no need for my false hope anymore.“That said, I’m willing to give you a chance since Ethan recommended you.“Please!”Veer gestured to Harvey to step forward.Harvey could tell that Veer did not trust him anymore when he revealed the truth.That said, he was pretty imp
“Right! Right! Why did a kid like him get the last chance because of a recommendation?!”“What? Are all of us here useless compared to him?!”“He’s probably not as good as you think he is anyway! What are we supposed to do if he does something terrible to the old lady?“Who does he think he is?! He looks like he can cure everyone he wants to!”“Ms. Paislee is a true descendant of Mount Lynx! She’s a top talent of her sect, yet she wouldn’t do anything even after calculating her plan for so long!“Why would we care about a random nobody if that were the case?!”To those people, Harvey York was just someone who appeared out of nowhere to steal the limelight.More importantly, according to Veer Hunt’s statement, this would be the last chance anyone would get to treat her mother.Everyone would be satisfied if someone like Paislee Foster were to be the one to use the chance.But someone like Harvey would never be able to satisfy the crowd.While the crowd doubted Harvey, Veer jus
"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
