“Tell me clearly! What happened?!”Sakura Miyamoto’s expression was as cold as ice.“I need to know the entire process.”Kristan Duncan’s eyes frantically twitched.“I’ve been trailing Harvey York since he left the police station. I followed him to a small mountaintop villa on the outskirts.“Harvey and the others were in there. There were less than ten people in total. I’m sure of it.“When I sent word to Taichi Maruyama, he rushed to the location in less than two hours. He crashed the villa’s doors right open before the three hundred men completely surrounded the place.“Taichi even demanded Harvey to release Noriko Yamaguchi in a minute.“But Harvey didn’t respond.“I saw someone come out while carrying a sword from far away. I could only hear screams after that.”“I wouldn’t dare to get too close because I might expose myself, so I decided to check after everything was quiet again. But then, a huge group of Longmen disciples came…”“The chief inspector of the first branc
Harvey York could understand June Lee and Hazel Malone’s behavior.That was why he didn’t intend to enter the villa either. He just showed a warm smile and said, “Aunty, Hazel, get Yvonne Xavier for me.“There’s something I need to do with her. I can’t seem to get through her phone.”“Oh? Are you already planning to kill off Ms. Xavier after Ms. Fujihara?” June exclaimed with an odd tone.“Let me tell you right now. It’s useless!“I’ll never let a bad omen like you to ever step into our house!”“Every time you come here, bad things always happen!”Harvey bitterly chuckled.“Aunty, I’ll make sure to compensate for your family’s losses…”“Compensate?!“How are you even planning to compensate?!“Are you going to give us the number one villa?!” asked June furiously while jumping up and down.Harvey stood frozen in place.“Master Lynch gave me the villa, so I can’t just give it to anyone. But if you want to, you can stay there for as long as you like.”“You just want me to sta
Half an hour later, Harvey York and Hazel Malone arrived at the Bray Temple.Harvey showed a serious expression when he haphazardly stopped Hazel’s car in the middle of the road before rushing out.Hazel was utterly dumbfounded. It was her first time seeing a man being so uncouth, making her park the car herself.But she had no choice. The pink Rolls Royce was bought with loans, so she had to park the car properly. It would have been heartbreaking to see her car get scratched up.At the same time, Yvonne Xavier was already at the main hall of the Bray Temple.The sculpture of the Holy Trinity was there covered in gold foil, making it seem extremely extravagant.Even though this religious way of life could not compare to Christianity, the Bray Temple was very well-known throughout Mordu because of Chief Leonard Bray himself. Quite a few powerful families and wealthy businessmen would go in and out from the place all the time.Yvonne respectfully lit up some incense, then kneeled
Yvonne Xavier slightly shook her head.“Ms. Asuka, right? You haven’t explained everything yet.“For example, who sent you here?“Was it Hector Thompson? Or Sakura Miyamoto?”Asuka showed a warm smile.“You ask too many questions. But since you’re also a woman, I’ll tell you something that might intrigue you.“You are truly a beautiful woman, Ms. Xavier. You must be confident enough to think that men wouldn’t even have the heart to harm you.”Yvonne’s pupils contracted slightly.“But a woman would surely go above and beyond to deal with you.“Don’t blame us, Ms. Xavier. Blame yourself for being so unlucky, catching Young Master Thompson’s eye like that!”Asuka’s right hand was resting on the hilt of her longsword while she was talking.At the same time, four more Islanders wearing bathrobes while holding Island Nation longswords showed up in the backyard, cutting off all of Yvonne’s escape routes.Yvonne frowned while looking at the chief who led the way. “This is a sacre
There was not a single sliver of fear reflected in Yvonne Xavier’s eyes when she let out a warm smile. “I have to admit. Your lady’s head isn’t really functioning well.“Doesn’t she realize that the best things for men are unobtainable?“When I die, I’ll turn into a memory inside Hector’s heart. After that, your lady wouldn’t even have a chance.”Asuka chuckled with an odd tone.“Us Islanders like to study men’s thoughts the most. Do you really think I’d let that happen?“Don’t you worry, Ms. Xavier. You’ll turn into just a fleeting memory in due time.”Yvonne’s gaze turned cold. She had a bad feeling about her situation.“What are you planning?!”Asuka shook her left hand, revealing a small porcelain bottle in her hand. “This right here is called the Anti-Chastity Vial,” said Asuka, full of excitement.“Legends say that if a woman drinks this, she would need to find a man in three minutes, no matter how strong-willed of a woman she is. And then, she would need to find mor
Fwooosh!Without Sakura Miyamoto’s orders, the three Islanders pounced right toward Harvey York after frantically changing their expression.One of the women wanted to get close to Yvonne Xavier so she could take her hostage.Bang bang bang!Without Harvey even doing anything, a person wearing a robe showed up and started to swing his duster around. The duster split all of the longswords in half while sending the women flying. Every single one of them crashed into the walls while coughing up copious amounts of blood. None of them had any strength left, even to struggle.“You rascals from the Island Nations. How dare you cause trouble inside the Bray Temple? Do you really think the people here are just jokes to you?“Filth!”Chief Leonard Bray appeared in a flash before shaking the duster in his hand. Threads that seemed like metal wires flew out from the duster, piercing the foreheads of the Islanders.Another person was lying flat on the ground while covered in a puddle of blo
Seeing Asuka as if she was a tiny kitten trying to show off, Harvey was not fazed at all. “You’re not worthy to even fight me,” said Harvey York calmly.“Let me see your strength, Tyson.”Tyson Woods nodded, then showed a hint of fighting spirit in his eyes.After the battle last night, Tyson had solidified his training.He placed his right hand on the hilt of his sword, then took a step forward. His entire body flew right toward Asuka like an arrow.“A mere gangster dares to duel me?!“You must have a death wish!”Asuka chuckled coldly. She was an outstanding professional even compared to this batch of people sent out by the Shindan Way. She had the utmost confidence in her own strength.She believed that she would be able to defeat anyone in a duel.Fwoooosh!A bright light flashed mid-air accompanying Asuka’s swing of her longsword right toward Tyson’s throat.Island Nation Swordsmanship was never about elegance. Quick and decisive blows were the principles of their swo
Harvey York and Yvonne Xavier felt utterly speechless.The situation was utmost dire. A storm was coming.But then someone locked their car’s wheel.The outrage could be felt from the two.Harvey picked up the ticket and took a few glances at it.“It’s from the Bray Temple’s security.“A few security guards can just lock any car and give out tickets as they please? Do they think they’re chief inspectors now or something?”Harvey wanted to call Chief Leonard Bray, but then he remembered he didn’t have his phone number.At this moment, two security guards who seemed to be in their forties walked toward the two arrogantly with cigarettes in their mouths.Both of them were wearing their slanted hats, sizing up Harvey and Yvonne with a judgemental gaze.The security guards were showing utter disdain when they saw Harvey. Clearly, they thought that Harvey was just a poor fool.Instead, when they saw Yvonne, their eyes lit up immediately.Such an alluring woman like this was at le
