“You can’t do this, and you can’t do that. Why don’t you just tell me what to do then?!” Denzel barked heatedly.Bryan continued to grovel.“Please, Brother Denzel! Please help me think of something! If you can save me, I’ll give you every single asset the Holt family has!”“It’s not much, but there’s at least millions of dollars! As long as you can keep me alive…!”“Brother Denzel, we’re sworn brothers. You can’t just leave me to die!”Tamara grovelled as well. She was there during the incident. Even though Longmen wouldn’t kill her, she knew full well that her fate could be worse than death.Denzen added calmly, “If I’m not mistaken, Steven went there as well, didn’t he?”“Isn’t he Justin’s nephew? Why not just let him plead for you?”Bryan replied disdainfully, “He’s a liar. In reality, he’s only a distant relative of the Walker family. He’s kneeling in front of the Walker family’s house right now.”“They might not kill him since he carries the Walker name. But even if he d
After that discovery, Denzel discussed with Bryan and his followers about how to deal with Harvey.Meanwhile, a woman dressed in business attire stopped Harvey as he was getting out of his house at the Fragrant Hill. She said politely, “Mr. York, Sir Walker wants to see you.”She was around thirty years old, with elegant makeup and a slim body. Yet, there was a rather fierce aura around her.“Sir Walker said that he wants to talk to you about what happened yesterday.”“He hopes that you can make some time for him.”“Yesterday?”Harvey chuckled.“Are you talking about the incident at Longmen’s Budokan?”“I didn’t do anything but watch the entire time. I have nothing to do with anything, no?”The woman replied calmly, “Please go, Mr. York. Sir Walker asked for you himself. It’s useless to talk to me about the incident, anyway.”Harvey thought about it, then decided to follow the woman into a Toyota Alphard.The business car drove on the road seamlessly, and soon arrived at Lon
“I heard that you’re from Buckwood, Brother York. Where did your master come from, if I may ask?”Justin stared at Harvey with an odd look.“Are you of the Wing Chun descent, or are you from the Hong Kuen descent?”To Justin, these were only two lines of martial arts that had actual professionals within Buckwood.“Neither.”Harvey showed no emotion. He had been learning killer tactics and offensive moves from hundreds of other schools, and he was not following a certain type of martial art.“You have no school at all? You learned everything on your own?”Justin froze, then burst out laughing.“Did you get to this point by just casually learning? You must be an actual genius!”“I did. I’ve learned from hundreds of schools by now.”Harvey shot an indifferent look at Justin.“If you must ask how I learned everything I know, I bought a bunch of secret texts online. I’ll send you a set if you want”“Is that so…”Harvey seemed like he was telling the truth, so Justin did not pre
As expected, Justin only cared about what could benefit him.Gabe was one of his best men, but he never thought of avenging Gabe. Instead, he looked for Harvey to blaze a trail for him.Naturally, Justin knew exactly what had happened the day before.Combined with the incident in Paramount, he had a clear idea of Harvey’s worth.He believed that if he gave Harvey fifteen million dollars in cash, Harvey would willingly become his fighter.“There’s money, and there’s also a chance to be famous.”“Once you take down Rachel for me, you’ll also have connections with Mordu’s Longmen branch.”“I might even be able to get you into the branch. I’ll assign you a high position. You’re guaranteed to enjoy wealth and glory your entire life!”“I’ll lend you my support as well. In the future, you can do as you please in Mordu!”“But I need you to do exactly as I say. Remember, you’re only allowed to follow my orders.”Harvey wanted to rise after hearing Justin’s determined speech, but he re
“Number two: even if I managed to win by the skin of my teeth, you’ll still have another great fighter to work for you.”“But this fighter isn’t one of your trusted men. You’ll be using this man first to take all blame if needed, and you’ll discard him once he’s worthless.”“Number three: you never cared about Gabe’s death anyway. You went to pressure Denzel at Paramount while suppressing the police force with your men for one sole reason; that is, to get me right to your doorstep.”“Either I’ll be used by you, or you’re going to kill me. There’s no other outcome.”“Deputy Branch Leader Walker, am I right on all three of these statements?”Justin’s warm smile dissipated slightly. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.He did not expect Harvey to be capable of thinking that far ahead.Justin chuckled and returned to his seat.“Harvey, Harvey. You’re making rather malicious accusations about me. You’ll have to pay the price for saying such irresponsible slanders.”“Even though
All this time, the elegant woman on the side was coldly glaring at Harvey.They naturally knew how hard it was to join Longmen. To them, Harvey’s behavior was nothing short of suicidal.“Let’s not talk about the slander and insults.”“But since we’re already here, I feel like I should explain some things for Kait’s sake.”“Number one: I did give a few pointers to Bryan for him to defeat Gabe. But, I didn’t tell him to make the killing blow. If you ask your Longmen brothers who were there, you’d get the whole story. You don’t have to use this to threaten me, it only made me look down on you.”“Number two: I don’t know what kind of deal you’ve struck with Rachel and Aiden, but I should remind you. There are some things you should give up on. Even if you managed to win against Rachel, there’s no chance that you’ll be able to be a branch leader. You only care about your wins and losses. You don’t have the principles required to be a proper branch leader of Longmen.”“Number three: i
Harvey stared at Justin’s back with narrowed eyes, showing no emotion.This deputy branch leader did look quite heroic.No wonder he was able to go against Rachel and Aiden for this long, despite there being no clear victor.In the grand scheme of things, however, everything had no meaning.He ignored Connie and the other Longmen members, and casually walked away. Right as he took a single step, Connie and three other Longmen members marched forward and blocked his path.“Sir York, please stop.”“If you want to leave, you must comply with Sir Walker’s conditions and apologize.”Harvey chuckled.“Do you think your lame martial arts can actually stop me?”Connie smiled after hearing Harvey’s words, before ripping her clothes to make room for both her legs.She narrowed her eyes in warning.“Within Mordu’s Longmen branch, Gabe was dubbed the second top disciple of the younger generation.”“But you should know that he’s only a part of the younger generation. Besides, Sir Walk
Justin, who was about to get into the car, froze. When he saw Harvey in front of him, his eyes narrowed.“I’m terribly sorry, Deputy Branch Leader Walker.”Harvey did not speak with a loud voice, but he enunciated Justin’s title clearly.He kicked away the Longmen members who tried to surround him, and then glared at Justin.“I didn’t think we were fated to meet again so early.”Justin frowned. He was surprised to discover that even Connie could not hold off against Harvey.But he was not that afraid, either.“What are you trying to do?”“Nothing much, really…”Harvey smiled.“I just wanted to tell my dear father-in-law to stop dreaming about having the position of branch leader. You’re unworthy, after all…”Slap!Harvey then swung his palm against Justin’s face.The slap rang loud and clear.After giving Justin a slap, Harvey smiled in satisfaction.“So, did I wake you up from your dream of you being a branch leader?”Harvey turned around and strode away in ease.The
