Harvey did not waste his breath and immediately dashed to the woman's side and immediately bit his finger, and dripped a drop of blood on her forehead. After Harvey had done that, the woman's condition seemed to have improved slightly, and she also stopped shaking."Where's the knife?!" Harvey asked one more time. After some hesitation, Blade gave Harvey the longsword he had. Harvey grabbed the longsword and then sliced open her palms, the soles of her feet, and then her back.Initially, Lanny and the others did not believe Harvey's actions would be effective. However, they soon noticed that as Harvey performed each action, the woman's twitching became weaker and less frequent.And then, the moment Harvey cut the woman's forehead, a talisman immediately flew out from inside.The talisman seemed to have a mind of its own and immediately attacked Harvey. However, just as it was going to reach Harvey's forehead, Harvey immediately stabbed the talisman using the tip of the sword onto t
The entire court became silent after they heard the nurse's apology. The evidence had become useless, and the witness had become completely worthless. How were they supposed to continue with this case?Samuel suddenly asked curiously, "The Soul-transference Technique isn't something that can be used so easily. Its caster needs to personally feed you something as a medium. Consider carefully if someone fed you something in the past few days."The nurse gave it a thought for a while before saying, "No, I'm quite careful with my personal hygiene, so I don't eat anything anyone gives to me. But on the day Durandal was admitted to the hospital, she came by and said I look a little pale. She even told me to rest well, and opened a box of chocolate and stuffed one in my mouth. Seeing that she's quite pretty and clean, I didn't refuse her… But it feels like… After that time, someone else's voice seemed to be in my head…"Everyone instantly turned to Lanny when they heard the nurse say that.
Soon, Dragon Cell's men managed to find the security camera's recording. When the recording was put on screen, everything was decided. While they couldn't be fully certain that Lanny was the one who planted the Soul-transference Technique's talisman on the nurse, it could prove that the nurse wasn't lying.If that was the case, Harvey would have nothing to do with them—whether they decided to continue with the investigation on Durandal's death or proceed in another way they wished. "I suppose the case could be considered settled for the time being, right?" Samuel suddenly asked.Geoffrey slowly raised his head without saying a word and looked at Harvey for a moment. Then, he said, "For the time being, yes. As for how this investigation will continue after this… That will be up to Grand City ourselves. Also, I'd like to apologize to Mr. Harvey on behalf of Grand City. What happened so far is our fault."Neve subconsciously called out, "Grandpa!"While Harvey had already been pro
Everyone in the court narrowed their eyes when they heard Lanny admit to it without any hesitation. Normally speaking, someone strong like her wouldn't admit to it so easily without waiting until the final moment and absolute proof of the crime.However, they grew suspicious when she admitted to her crimes so easily.Lanny smiled bitterly when she realized that everyone was suspicious of how quickly she admitted to the crime. "Mr. Geoffrey from Grand City is also here. What's the point of me saying anything that's so pointless? What else can I get by stalling other than to humiliate Grand City even further? I admit, Durandal's death made me furious. He was my best friend. Both of us grew up together and we have a deep bond."I was furious, and I also believed this had everything to do with Harvey! When I saw the evidence, I also felt that it was quite fake, but I still used the Soul-transference Technique that I managed to obtain from the Island Nation earlier on that nurse. My ob
"Currently, Country H is a country ruled by law. It's no longer a country that is ruled by an emperor. In this era, even the ruler could be judged by the same laws as the commoners. It's an era when the law's justice must be preserved at all costs. If Grand City frames Mr. Harvey, then they can frame someone else next time. In order to prevent something like this from happening, it's time to rectify Grand City's status and special rights."Jesse and Specter were among the best of the young generations within the Four Pillars. While their words couldn't represent the current leaders of the Four Pillars, they represented the voices of the younger generation.And from how Samuel and Lexie said nothing, their silence also represented their attitude in certain circumstances. In this case, all Four Pillars wanted to remove Grand City's special privileges.Harvey narrowed his eyes when he saw this. He knew someone else was pulling the strings. Earlier, he thought it was either Dan, Emery,
Not only was Geoffrey the leader of the Universal Sect, but he was also one of the Seven Predecessors of Grand City. For him to be able to join this joint trial, it proved that he had a lot of power and could decide plenty of things. When Geoffrey saw Samuel dumping the biggest trouble on him, he took a deep breath. A faint smile appeared on his old and wrinkled face.He looked at Harvey, who was enjoying the show thus far, and said, "Mr. Harvey, everyone here is demanding that I pass on to you all the power and organizations we have beyond Grand City. Are you interested in them? Allow me to introduce them to you. Outside of Grand City, we have three halls. Heaven, Earth, and Purgatory. They manage everything that is related to the Grand City outside of the city itself. Once you have these powers, you can never be separated from us…""I want it." Harvey didn't even finish for Geoffrey to finish and agreed to it. "As per the bet, I want all the authority. I will give Grand City seve
Mandy whispered, "If that's the case, you'll officially intervene in everything that has to do with Grand City. They have too many resources and too much power… I'm very worried if an outsider would suddenly intervene…"Harvey patted Mandy's head and said calmly, "Don't worry. In truth, from the moment I became the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance, it's already fated for everything to end like this. Even if what happened today didn't happen, something else will. Since it's only a matter of time, other than to deal with them as they come, the best way to deal with this is to be on the offensive."It's fine. You don't have to worry too much. With my personality, even if I really do take over Grand City's three halls, I'll simply find someone else to take over for me and stay behind the scenes. If I do that, as long as Grand City knows what to do and not make an enemy of me, it's going to be a happy ending for everyone involved, right?"Mandy said nothing after that, and cha
When Harvey heard Mandy mention the word merciful, he sensed something was wrong. But something like this wasn't so easy to explain. Just when Harvey was going to change the subject, the screen for the security cameras in the living room showed a black Lincoln Extended. The windows for the back seats weren't rolled up, revealing the face of someone especially old.When Harvey saw that face, he was stunned and stood up. "Mandy, rest here. I'll be back soon.And then, he was already at the entrance of the estate. He quickly waved his hand, telling Rachel's men to step back for now. Then, he walked over to the window and said with a smile, "Long time no see, Mr. Geoffrey. You look as good as ever."As soon as Harvey said that, the door opened. Eight middle-aged men wearing robes slowly got out and spread to four corners. After that, an old man got out. His breathing was a little ragged, and anyone could tell that his lungs must have suffered some injuries in the past. Even then,
