Chapter 5819
Julie felt ecstatic after hearing the crowd’s praise toward her junior.She glared at Harvey, who looked completely insignificant compared to the others, showing utter disdain.‘Who knows what on earth Mandy is thinking.‘She didn’t choose a top-rated young master who’s also an expert martial artist with a high status… Instead, she picked a kept man like him to be her bodyguard twenty-four-seven!‘Hopefully after this, she’ll know how to make a better decision…’Even though Julie didn’t want to speak about this as she respected Mandy, she still planned to convince Mandy to make Harvey resign.The ceremony continued.Lennon carefully brought out a bowl covered in jewelry from the back of the car.Within the bowl, three beads with a thousand years’ worth of history shone under the bright light, attracting everyone’s attention.When the time had come, Lennon slowly pulled the bowl to the front of his chest, so that sunlight would soak into the beads.“Normally speaking, this is

Swoosh!While Rhodes was still calm about the situation…A manhole cover beside the road was suddenly pushed aside. A person in a camouflage uniform and face paint leaped out, and threw a barrage of darts in Lennon’s direction.“Bastard!” Rhodes froze. “How dare you?!”The sudden attacker wasn’t just disrespecting the Surrey family; Rhodes was about to be completely humiliated as well.Before Rhodes could do anything, expert martial artists around the place charged forward instantly.Some quickly pulled out their firearms, the safeties off.Others quickly went beside Lennon and Aria, holding up their weapons, deflecting every single dart away without fail.Harvey found the whole thing confusing. He knew the road ahead would be big trouble, and that Rhodes’ name would probably do nothing.However, he didn’t expect that someone would take action so quickly.After thinking closely, it was understandable.All sorts of forces that came from the outskirts and beyond were after t

The extended Land Rover was very spacious; even with eight people inside, it wasn’t crowded at all. The car slowly moved after everyone was properly seated.Lennon brought over a laptop from the passenger seat and protected the documents on the car’s screen.“The road to the Aenar Temple won’t be smooth sailing, everyone,” he said with a smile.“According to our information, at least a dozen forces will be stopping us.“But we have people from the four great tribes, the Wolven Tribe, and the top ten families among others… With your support, these bandits will surely leave empty-handed.”Rhodes froze. “Didn’t I already allow you to use my name, Mr. Lennon? Who would dare go against you?”Julie chuckled coldly. “Going against my junior would mean going against the Kronen Temple!”Lennon looked deeply at Rhodes, then turned his gaze toward Julie.“There’s something you don’t know, Maiden Julie, Young Master Rhodes,” he said, still smiling.“The people coming for the beads aren’t

“Change course to a side lane? Do you want everyone to die?”Julie stared at Harvey, her expression icy.“Do you even have common sense? The enemy’s clearly doing this to try and get us to change directions! Going to a side land would mean giving ourselves up!“And yet, you still want Mr. Lennon to change course? What are you thinking?!”Rhodes glared at Harvey as if he was looking at an idiot.Mandy looked confused; she knew Harvey wasn’t stupid, but she didn’t understand why he’d suggest such a thing.Harvey calmly looked outside the window.“Even a conceited person like you would think of such a thing. What makes you think the others couldn’t come up with the same conclusion?“The enemy believes that we won’t change course. That’s why we need to do the exact opposite. That way, we’ll know if the enemy’s planning to ambush us in the side lane or not.“Even if there are, there won’t be too many. With the amount of people we have right now, it’d be more than enough for us to f

The Surrey family and the guards sighed in relief. It was clear they would be completely out of trouble after getting this far. After all, this was the Aenar Temple’s territory. Stealing the Eyed Beads here would mean disrespect toward the sect.Lennon was just about to get everyone out of the car so they could rest.Right at that moment, loud engines and propellers could be heard on top of everyone’s heads. Harvey and the others instinctively looked at the sunroof, and saw eight armed helicopters.The doors of the helicopters opened, and masked men in camouflaged uniforms appeared. They were holding custom smoke bombs, glaring beneath them.Naturally, the enemy wouldn’t bring any heavy weaponry to fight. Judging from the firepower of the armed helicopters, they could cover the entire vicinity with bullets without much effort.“Get everyone to wear their masks, Mr. Lennon.”The enemies from the helicopter instantly dove and tossed their smoke grenades, ready to break the windsh

“These Islanders deserve to die! How dare they disrespect me like this?! I’ll settle scores with them sooner or later!” Rhodes growled. Rhodes’s face was gloomy as he looked at the chaos in front of them. He was lucky he wasn’t killed or hurt during the attack; he would’ve been very embarrassed if that happened.“How ignorant can these people be?!” Julie exclaimed with pursed lips. “They’ll pay a huge price for what they did today!”Mandy frowned. “Where did these people come from…?”Harvey narrowed his eyes for a moment.“Judging from their skills, they must be from the Six Schools of Martial Arts.“However, their swordsmanship doesn’t come from any specific school at all… It’s as if all Six Schools of Martial Arts are involved in training these people…”Harvey was reminded of Takai; that man’s fighting style seemed quite similar to the enemies around them. On top of his extensive foundation, he had managed to create his own killer move. Ordinary ninjas wouldn’t be able to rep

Bam!A loud sound was heard when the figure landed on the ground. The floor cracked instantly, and rubble flew out in every direction.Lennon and the others were sure that someone who did that would be badly injured, but that wasn’t the case at all.After standing still, the person raised his hand at Lennon.“I’m telling you this one time: hand over the beads, or die,” he said hoarsely. His horrible voice sounded as if he had a knife stuck in his throat, and it was grating to the ears.Everyone finally looked at his face. It was a middle-aged man whose age was unclear. Scars crisscrossed his entire face, and he looked very ugly indeed. Because of his messy hair, his eyes and mouth were the only visible features.Studying him from a corner, Harvey could tell that the man seemed familiar—but he just didn’t recall where.Lennon was struck by a sudden thought.“A genetically enhanced Islander warrior?!” he exclaimed. “That’s not a human at all! Kill him! Quickly!”The guards quick

“Who are you?”Lennon waved his hand, signaling for Ernie and Aria to stay away. He looked grimly at the expert.“Since you’ve become so powerful after you were genetically enhanced, you’re not just an ordinary person! If you want the beads, then at least give me your name. If not, you won’t get them even if you kill me!”Lennon pulled out the three beads, ready to snap them all in half.He had learned this trick from Harvey. Since the enemy was after the beads, then he’d simply make sure nobody could get them.As expected, the warrior stopped in his tracks after seeing Lennon’s movements. He then raised his head, and sighed.“You better know what’s good for yourself, Lennon. Hand over the beads, and I’ll let everyone here go.“If you destroy them, I’ll make sure I strangle everyone here to death, then break your limbs so you have no choice but to beg for food. I’ll make sure that the rest of your life is a living hell!”The warrior slowly exhaled; an unspeakably fierce and col
