Harvey wasn’t fazed by Salem and Conrad’s denial at all.On one hand, he wanted to see the standards of America’s genetic enhancements. On the other hand, he didn’t mind wiping the floor with the two’s pride.Kyren frowned; he was impressed by Harvey’s performance, but he didn’t think Conrad and Salem’s words would bait him into fighting again.He couldn’t help but look down on Harvey ever so slightly.Harvey was a skillful man, but he was just an easily controlled young man.A bold thought came to Kyren’s mind when he looked at Harvey; something else was mixed in his shock as he looked into Harvey’s eye.Baylee wanted to say something when looking at Harvey, but she ended up keeping quiet.“These people are shameless! You’ve already won! There’s no need for you to fight them anymore!” Ernie yelled.However, Conrad truly thought that Salem only lost because of an accident. He took a deep breath before speaking up again.“No need to hold back, Salem! Give it your all!”Salem n
Kyren, who still had other thoughts in his mind, couldn’t stop his eyes and mouth from twitching.He suddenly understood. It wasn’t that Harvey was arrogant; Salem was just incomparable to him, no matter what!A cold shiver ran down Salem’s spine.‘How? How is that even possible?! Salem did everything he could! He even struck first! And yet, he lost so easily! That’s just…’“Oh! I’m sorry! I snuck up on you again!” Harvey seemed a little embarrassed. “Come on! Let’s redo the fight. It doesn’t count!”The people were completely shocked. They had never seen someone fight this way before.After all, those words meant completely different things since they came out of Harvey’s mouth!It wasn’t that Harvey wanted to rob Salem of any chance of coming back… He was just going easy on Salem!Conrad felt nothing but resentment towards an unreasonable man like Harvey.“Everyone! You all saw me sneaking up on Salem just now. For fairness’ sake, I’ve decided to fight him again.“After all
“You’ve sacrificed too much for Master Henrik’s sake, Salem!” Conrad said, excited.At the same time, he turned to Harvey and dragged his thumb across his neck, convinced Harvey was dead for sure.“Come on, then,” Harvey said calmly.Salem moved his body, and instantly appeared in front of Harvey with ease.It was the calmness of his movements that was extremely terrifying. In everyone’s eyes, Salem’s body didn’t seem like it existed at all.He threw a punch right at Harvey; the attack immediately shook the world. He waved his other hand, and a firearm slid out. At the same time, he pulled the trigger.It was hard to believe that an expert like Salem would be this shameless. It was already bad enough that he needed drugs to get to this state, but he even pulled the trigger in a battle of life and death.Everyone felt a cold shiver run down their spine after seeing this, and thought Harvey was destined to suffer a horrible death.Baylee sprang out of her chair. “Look out!”“Mas
After glancing at Salem paralyzed on the ground, Harvey crossed his arms and glanced around him.“Does anyone else want to go against me?”Everyone looked at each other; other than shock, only an unspeakable sense of fear could be seen in their eyes. Nobody would dare stand out.Billie’s heart pounded rapidly; she had already admired Harvey, but she didn’t think that his achievements would be way beyond her wildest imagination.Whitley’s jaw dropped; she started to regret not instantly kneeling in front of Harvey as soon as they met.Conrad’s body went limp; his heart was filled with nothing but despair and resentment.‘He’s dead! Salem’s dead—just like that! He even used everything he could! Even if Henrik actually came, who knows if Harvey can be taken down?’Samir’s expression was one mixed with regret and admiration; he finally understood why Lennon respected Harvey so much.Ernie raised his chest, a prideful look on his face. The Surrey family was extremely proud as well
The place was dead silent.The prominent figures around didn’t want to admit it, but Harvey had won the entire competition. From then onward, he’d have total control over the outskirts!Kyren let out a long sigh before stumbling off his seat.“You have my respect for what you did today, Master York! From now on, I won’t stop you from getting close to my daughter!”Harvey smiled faintly. “Judith and I are just classmates. Don’t think too much about it. For her sake, I’ll let you off the hook as long as you give me an explanation that I’m happy with.”Kyren instinctively shivered; he locked eyes with Harvey with a profound gaze, while his mouth twitched.“From now on, my troops and I will leave Country H. We will not be involved with anything in the outskirts, either.”“Not enough,” Harvey said. Kyren gritted his teeth. “I will order the Siberian Border Force not to cause conflict with Country H.”“Not enough.”Kyren looked at Harvey for a long time, before letting out a huge
“Please, Uncle Harlan.”Harvey poured a cup of tea, and signaled Harlan to sit in front of him.Harlan’s eyes twitched for a long time. He slowly sat down, then mustered his courage to finish his drink. He looked at Harvey deeply, hesitating to even speak up.Harvey glanced at Harlan for a moment. “Just ask anything you want, Uncle Harlan. I’ll tell you everything you want.”Harlan took a deep breath.“Who are you?” he asked hoarsely. “What happened to my nephew?”Harvey knew that after what happened, there was no way to hide from an experienced man like Harlan anymore.“Good eye,” Harvey said, smiling. “When did you start suspecting me?”Harlan chuckled bitterly. “I don’t know. I felt that there was something wrong already… But after everything that happened today, I know that you’re not him.”Harvey nodded.“I’m not the man with an arranged marriage with your daughter.“I have the same name, but we’re different people.“I have some business in the outskirts, and the ident
Harlan gritted his teeth. “I want nothing else but justice!”“Right.”Harvey nodded.“Since I’m already using your nephew’s identity, I naturally have to take responsibility for everything that comes with it.“If you want justice… I’ll give it.“Go back to the outskirts for now. I’ll handle the situation after I deal with matters here.”Harlan repeatedly thanked Harvey before dragging Whitley and Billie out of the place.-The next day, after dealing with the matters about the competition and restricting forces in the outskirts from getting involved with the Nine Eyed Beads, Harvey returned to the outskirts.Aside from preventing things from getting more complicated, he could sense someone pulling the strings behind the scenes.However, he could only deal with the problem after seeing the entire truth.Harvey wasn’t in a rush to go back to the No. 1 villa. He told Ernie to prepare a room for him in the Gangnam Outskirts.Romina and Ernie needed to take action for what was a
Harvey and the others went inside the room.Ernie waved his hand, and specialty dishes were all sent there.A huge box of 1982 Riesling was ordered as well. Ernie was ready for everyone to get wasted as a celebration for Harvey. After all, the best thing he ever did in his life was to cling to Harvey.After three rounds of liquor, Romina’s subordinate entered the room with some documents in hand.Seeing that, Aria locked eyes with Ernie, and the two left the room. They knew that they weren’t considered close to Harvey yet. Romina, on the other hand, was Harvey’s subordinate in the outskirts.“I found some things that you asked me to, but it’s not much.”Romina flipped through the pages, then put the documents in front of Harvey.“Someone intentionally made the situation a mess because of the Nine Eyed Beads. According to our trail, the one who did all this from Evermore’s Twelve Earthly Branches, Roue.”Harvey nodded. “Can you be more specific?”“You should know there are th
