Blade was slightly stunned when he heard it and took in a deep breath, as if he was suppressing something he was feeling. Then, he said slowly, "The Grand City is also called the Grand City that Didn't Belong to the World. Those from the Grand City had been called many names. Wizards, alchemists, immortals… In a place like ours, we have rules and laws coming from bygone eras. After existing for so long, people from our city understand that only by following these rules and laws will we be able to protect the Grand City."Harvey smiled. "So, to you, even if you know the order you're going to execute is wrong, you'll still do it no matter the cost, right?""It's easy for one person to make a mistake," Blade said. "It's even easier for someone to make a mistake when one speculates. This is an order that was made based on the rules and regulations. The chances of it being a mistake are very low…"Even if I have some thoughts, I'd rather do as I'm ordered by Grand City. As for whether
The atmosphere within the car fell into absolute silence. Blade extended his head and opened the sunroof, allowing the fresh air to enter the car. He took in the fresh air, but no one could tell his thoughts.Harvey smiled as he once again closed his eyes and rested. To him, the destination for this journey meant nothing.Very quickly, the car drove until night. During this journey, the car stopped three times. They would always rest, have a meal, and get a toilet break at a temporary supply base that had been established beforehand. Blade had maintained his silence and said nothing.As for Harvey, it was life as usual for him. He would eat when he was supposed to and sleep when he had time to. It was so that everyone could maintain their energy.Harvey even took a hot shower in one of the supply bases and got to wash his clothes. The members of the Enforcement Division that kept watch over him looked at him strangely. It was obvious it was their first time meeting a criminal lik
Blade frowned and said nothing when he heard Harvey's teasing. Not far away came the sound of spotlights being turned on. Giant spotlights immediately focused on their location from all around them, turning the place as bright as day. The Enforcer Division who just got out of the car narrowed their eyes, trying to adjust to the light."You're smart, and you're quite perceptive as well." At this time, one of the doors on the giant stone gate from not far away slid open, and dozens of figures appeared. The one leading them was a woman wearing a traditional garb, a fan in her hand.She looked like a seductress. Her eyes were filled with charm, and even just a glance from her was quite seductive. All the men and women behind her were wearing uniforms, bearing a stern expression. "Unfortunately, smart people normally don't last long here," the woman continued with a smile. Harvey shrugged. "I haven't asked you what this place is yet."The woman kept smiling. "Our place was quite
"Fool!" Lanny's expression became even darker after hearing Harvey's words. In Grand City, she was akin to a goddess. Countless people wanted to pursue her romantically. But Harvey said that she belonged to the streets? That was not something she would stand for!The moment that thought crossed her mind, Lanny cried, "Slap him! Slap him until he can't speak!"All the men and women behind Lanny prepared to put their firearms on Harvey's head once they heard Lanny's orders. Some of them even pulled up their sleeves. It was obvious that they wanted to slap Harvey. And from the looks of it, they would not stop until Harvey's face was swollen.Looking at the scene, Harvey did not care much and simply looked at Lanny with intrigue. He was thinking that if Lanny's men touched him, then he would have a good reason to slap her pretty face into oblivion. While he would not usually hit women, some liked to cross the line.Blade suddenly stepped forward despite his silence when he saw how both
To Lanny, as long as the city could convict Harvey, he would become someone she could do whatever she wanted to him. That was why she was in no rush. She could make Harvey regret ever getting born once he was convicted since there was no need for her to drag herself into this, even if she wanted to kill Harvey."Prosecute me?" Harvey could not help but laugh when he saw how Lanny looked like that was how he would end. "I can leave here openly in less than 24 hours. I wonder how you'll look afterward.""Do you want to leave? Dream on." Lanny glared coldly at Harvey. "I'm going to show you the evidence that will damn you. In the hospital where Durandal was killed, we found security footage. In that footage, it clearly showed you killing Durandal and the entire process… It even got your face. A young nurse in the hospital could also prove that you were the one who killed him."In short, we had both witnesses and evidence. Harvey, I understand what you were thinking. Did you believe we
Durandal had to be dead. There was no mistake about it. And this had nothing to do with Parkerville and Grand City. They also found incriminating evidence regarding Harvey's "attack" on Durandal and the evidence fit.Who were the ones who wanted to target Harvey that badly? And why? Why did they want to make him an enemy of Grand City?Harvey's expression was severe as he thought about that. Could Evermore be behind this despite not appearing for so long? If that was true, what relationship did Evermore and Grand City have?Harvey glanced at Lanny when he was thinking about those questions and said, "Whether it is your Enforcement Division or the Forbidden Wasteland, all of you are smart people. None of you are fools. Can you really not see that there is someone else interfering with this? Or have you already seen it but didn't want to admit it and tried to kill me using this opportunity? "As long as you're not the one setting me up, after you killed me, you'll then cry a tear of
After a long while, Harvey sighed and said, "If that's the case, can you let me see the original files and conversation with the nurse? I also wanted to know just what kind of evidence the people from the Forbidden Wasteland believed was real."When Lanny heard Harvey's request, she coldly replied, "I'm sorry. But we haven't reached that part of the procedure yet. We know that you might be someone at the True Warrior level. It would be easy for an elite like you to assassinate or mislead someone. That's why, before we can confirm their safety, we won't show you any of the evidence or witness."Harvey shrugged. "I do have the power of a True Warrior. If I wanted to, I could easily kill everyone standing here.""I know," Lanny answered coldly. "But will you? No one is an island in this world. If you do that, all your friends and family will die because of you. Grand City will also categorize you as the most dangerous criminal and will do everything we can to kill you."You know all o
Shortly, Blade escorted Harvey through the door made of rock. They followed the staircase down and into an underground area. It was quite spacious down there, and it was probably formed naturally. Plenty of man-made structures were built within the underground space.However, these buildings must be at least hundreds of years old. The lights added afterward suggest this was some kind of underground city.Harvey was quickly dragged to a place that looked like an ancient court. There was a sign board saying "Justice" on top, and three different kinds of guillotines were placed there. Bronze, silver, and gold. The ground under the guillotine seemed to be dark from the color of dried blood. One could faint by just watching the dried blood.It was obvious that countless people had died under these guillotines in the past few centuries. Harvey was unfazed by them. Instead, he found a bench and sat down, enjoying the sights of his surroundings.Those who were informed would know that he w
