Harvey frowned slightly, about to say something. However, Mandy also hurried out at this time. It was obvious that she was worried Harvey would immediately make a move."You must be Ms. Juliana, right?" Mandy said as she looked at Juliana. "I can understand how angry you are after losing something so valuable, but we now live in a society that follows the rule of law. Everything must be based on evidence. The facts proved that Harvey didn't take your things. Unless you have solid proof to counter the evidence, you're simply making trouble out of thin air if you keep on making a scene like this."Slap!Before Mandy could even finish, Juliana slapped her across the face. "Who are you to teach me how to act?!"Harvey quickly stepped forward and shielded Mandy behind him. If he hadn't moved fast enough, Mandy might have been slapped many more times.When Juliana saw how Harvey moved, she smiled icily. "From how protective you are toward her, she must have helped steal from us too, r

Juliana instantly let her fake tears roll down her cheeks when she saw Hawk was in a miserable state. She quickly pounced on Hawk and yelled at Harvey with teary eyes. "You fool! Do you know what you did? Hawk is a noble from Lost City, and I'm the scion of one of Grand City's Seven Families! Hawk is also White Peak's VIP! You're finished… You're a walking corpse! White Peak's predecessor, Ares, holds Hawk in high regard, and he won't spare you for hurting someone he values!"Juliana refused to believe that with their powers, Harvey could still be humiliated so badly by Harvey. That was why they used their connection with Ares without thinking twice.Due to the martial arts Ares cultivated, he sometimes needed to go to Country E to purify his blood and cleanse the genes within him. Coincidentally, Hawk's family had the right connection for that. That was how their connection came to exist.In short, the School of Divine Sword might not intervene for Hawk, but Ares would definitely f

As for Juliana and Hawk, the two of them were instantly stunned on the spot. They were not sure how to act. In their minds, Ares, who should be backing them and standing up for them, did come. However, they were not expecting the first thing he did after showing up was to bow and apologize.That…They really did not know how to process it. Ares was not just some ordinary man, after all. He was one of the Seven Predecessors of Grand City!Harvey narrowed his eyes at Ares. After a moment, he said with a faint smile, "You must be Predecessor Ares Bennett of White Peak, correct? There is no need for you to be so courteous. Frankly, I don't even know what you're talking about."Zeon and I indeed have a minor disagreement, but I have solid proof to show that after that, I don't have the time or energy to seek him out and cause him problems. So, I don't understand what you mean when you want me to spare him."Harvey felt no burden or guilt whatsoever when he said those words. It was true

Juliana shuddered after hearing those words. Then, she almost choked as she tried explaining, "It's a misunderstanding, Mr. Ares! It's all a misunderstanding!"While Juliana loved foreign cultures, she knew that the Seven Predecessors had vast powers in Grand City as well as globally. If one of them decided to take her seriously, they could easily end her in minutes.As for the School of Divine Sword? They would not go against Ares for the sake of a rebellious daughter like her in this situation."A misunderstanding? It's still early in the morning. Even if you're simply passing by, it's almost impossible for this to be a mere coincidence," Ares spoke coldly. "An old man like me normally can't be bothered to meddle in the affairs of you youngsters, but for you to ignore the Representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance? Do you still have any respect for our rules and laws?"Meanwhile, Harvey sipped his tea and said, "By the way, Mr. Ares. I heard that you're backing them. Is th

"Zeon?" Dan cracked a cold smile when he heard that name. "Coco, the others might not know what kind of person Zeon is, but how can you not? For someone like him, he will side with anyone who benefits him."He will instantly forget those who helped him, but he will never forget a grudge. In short, even if Ares and Harvey bury the hatchet and join forces, once Zeon regains his full strength, the first thing he'll do is to continue opposing Harvey. Don't forget that to Zeon, the only person he wanted was Camellia. Whatever happened earlier made Camellia despise Harvey to the bone. There was no way for them to reconcile," explained Dan as if he were in control."That was why we didn't have to worry about White Peak completely siding with Harvey. Sometimes, a loss can be a blessing in disguise. This is our turf, after all. Do you think an outsider can outwit us in our own territory?"Coco finally relaxed a little."You're right, brother," Coco said. "Harvey… He's an outsider, after all
