Ten minutes later, Stefan exited the hotel through the emergency exit. He quickly headed into an inconspicuous black van in the corner of the street.The van quickly entered an alley and disappeared into the night after a few turns. No matter how good a person was at tracking, they wouldn’t be able to find out who the van owner was in a short time.After finally leaving the bustling streets, Stefan let out a sigh of relief before taking a sip of his mineral water that came all the way from France; fatigue was written all over his face.It was just a simple chat with Harvey, but he still felt completely exhausted for some reason.The privacy glass on the back slowly rolled down, and a monk with nine tonsures on his head spoke up.“How was it?”Stefan quickly showed a stern expression.“I met with Harvey, Master. He’s way too confident. Not only did he refuse to work together with me, he even said that he’ll deal with Amos alone.”The monk froze; his calm face contrasted with his
Nine o’clock at night.Mandy had mostly recovered after a few days of rest.She knew she didn’t have much use in the outskirts after finally meeting Harvey. She asked Harvey to send him off at the airport soon after.Harvey was instantly relieved when he saw Mandy leave. Mandy was his biggest weakness, after all. After learning about her flight safely landing in Wolsing, he was finally at ease.To show gratitude toward Romina’s contributions, other than giving her a check worth 1.5 million dollars, he invited her to have a few drinks at the bar street as well.After all, they should take the chance to relax before the storm.Harvey requested a room for his group; while everyone was gulping down their drinks, he assigned work to each person.When everything was handled, Harvey went outside the box to get some fresh air. He called Tyson to ask for some men he could use in the outskirts, while also arranging things in Wolsing.For Mandy or the country’s sake, Harvey felt like he n
Harvey knew something about Casks in the martial arts world.Normally speaking, schools would choose a few women with extraordinary talent as support, or Casks. After using said Casks, they’d be crippled for the rest of their lives, or they’d simply die.Harvey couldn’t be bothered to deal with Miley because of their history…But for Lennon’s sake, he didn’t want to see her die either.Besides, people who look for Casks were naturally evil anyway.Harvey quickly took a step forward. “Leave her and go.”The joyful group froze, and looked loking at Harvey with disbelief.“Oh? Times sure have changed, huh? After all, people like this have no right to stand in front of us in America!”The man squinted at Harvey.“I’m in a good mood. I can’t be bothered to deal with you right now. Step aside.”“I know this woman. That’s why you can’t take her,” Harvey said. At this distance, Harvey could clearly tell that Miley was cursed. The curse seemed to have a similar effect like the one M
Harvey sighed, then stepped forward.Remi took off his belt, and pressed Miley onto a wall with a cold smile.“Hurry up, you people! Deal with that ignorant brat! I’ll let you all go at it when I’m done here! It’ll be quick!”He lifted Miley’s short skirt, a wretched look on his face.The tattooed man grinned deviously, and made a gesture. “Break his limbs. Keep him alive. Blame it on him when the girl dies!”The bald men started breathing rapidly; they cracked their necks as they walked forward, planning to take action.Bam!Without wasting a single second, Harvey kicked everyone down as soon as they got closer. The sounds of bones cracking were heard when he stomped on their arms.“Aaagh!”Screams of pain were heard, and the tattooed man’s expression changed; he didn’t think that Harvey was able to fight like that.However, he didn’t fear Harvey at all; he quickly pulled out his firearm and took off the safety, then aimed it at Harvey’s head.Clack!It was a shame; before
Remi stepped forward, chuckling arrogantly. “Enough struggling, kid.“My webs are infused with strong anesthetics. Not just any adult… Even an elephant wouldn’t be able to move an inch after getting hit!“I’m going to cut off every single part of your body, then break every single bone! I’ll make you watch yourself turn to mush!”Remi was just about to reach out to Harvey’s neck.Slap!He was instantly caught off guard, and suddenly spun midair; a mouthful of blood gushed out as soon as he smashed into the ground. A few teeth were mixed into the blood as well. It was a miserable sight.Remi was filled with disbelief.“Impossible! How are you fine? My web has poison from a Black Widow! This doesn’t make any sense!”Bam!Before Remi could finish his sentence, Harvey took a step forward and kicked him to the ground. At the same time, he rolled the web he caught into a ball and stuffed it in Remi’s mouth.Remi’s eyes rolled before he passed out.Harvey lifted Miley from the co
A few minutes later, Miley managed to recover slightly. She seemed more conscious than before.She slowly opened her eyes, then froze in place as if she understood something.After looking around the place, she finally saw Harvey and smirked coldly.“Sir York. If you’re interested in me, you should’ve just said so. You didn’t have to curse me in the first place.”Harvey was utterly speechless.“How ungrateful can you get?” he said, rolling his eyes.“If it weren’t for me, you would’ve been someone else’s Cask by now. But here you are, still here talking big.“You should know I’m not interested in a loose woman like you at all. You think I’d curse you in the first place?”“You…”Miley heaved her chest, furious, before coughing out a lot more blood. A fishy scent wafted in the air, and she became a lot more relaxed.She looked puzzled; then glanced at Harvey. She almost broke a tooth from grinding them in anger. There were other ways for her to release the blood, but Harvey use
“I already told your people that I was here when I saved your life. They’ll be here to raise a ruckus soon enough.”Harvey smiled.“If you’re scared, you can leave whenever you want. I won’t stop you.”“You…”Miley glared fiercely at Harvey before letting out a sigh.“Don’t worry. I won’t leave.“I’m not stupid. If I leave now, the Smalt Sect will just drag me back to be Emil’s Cask. It’s only normal, though. Followers of the Aenar Temple are just sacrifices, anyway.Miley sighed, the helplessness in her eyes evident. Harvey looked at her from the corner of his eye.“I don’t like you at all… But for Mr. Lennon’s sake, I’ll protect you as long as you stay behind me. Don’t worry.”Miley looked at him oddly, then sighed once more.“Your skills, strength, and background can make you into one of the top-rated people in the entire country… But you have a deadly flaw. Do you know what that is?”“What’s that?” Harvey asked calmly.“You’re too soft,” Miley replied.“Since ancient
“I’m sorry, Ms. Xyla! We ran into a bastard who took Miley away after taking us down!”The tattooed man seemed a little afraid, but he still mustered his strength to speak. His eyes kept twitching.“Right! He told us he was waiting in room number one! He told us to go to him if we dare!“Another thing—Young Master Remi’s with him too! The web Young Master Remi shot out was stuffed into his mouth as well! That man’s actually going to kill him!“It’s not that we’re powerless, Ms. Xyla! That man’s just ruthless! We can’t do anything!”The people there frowned after hearing the tattooed man’s words.‘The Smalt Sect has a powerful identity in the outskirts… Who would dare go against us in the first place? Is the man stupid? Or does he have a death wish?‘Besides, Young Master Remi belongs to Evermore! Evermore has always been discreet, but knowledgeable people would know just how strong the organization is!‘Any leader of the Twelve Earthly Branches would be able to form a top-rated
