At that moment, footsteps could be heard coming down from the second floor. Someone clapped slowly while approaching.Everyone in the room heard the owner of the voice speak in a heavy accent, "Ms. Lanny, you are truly remarkable. The so-called security in Platinum Casino is useless… They've already given up the moment they saw us, but you didn't care about any of that. That is truly impressive. There's something pitiful about this, however. How did someone as formidable as you be abandoned by Dan?"The man's words carried faint traces of mockery. However, the level of detail in his comments made it clear he was no ordinary guest.Harvey turned and looked, and saw a man in his twenties radiating a laid-back attitude. He lacked the typical bulk of those of his heritage and looked somewhat slender. His face was pale, and his eyes were filled with fatigue and weariness. He seemed like he was someone who had indulged himself in decadence."Beresford," Lanny said, her face severe. "I'

Lanny sighed and said coldly, "So, the Junior Commander of ours didn't show up here by accident. You’re here looking for trouble, aren't you? Did I cross you before this? Now that you know I'm alone, you're here to trample on me?""On purpose? I'm sorry, but no. That's not really why I'm here," Beresford scoffed in disdain. "With your current status, you're completely beneath me now. There's really nothing much you deserve to do now other than to kneel, understand?"Lanny's eyes grew colder. She was about to attack when Harvey motioned for her to stop.Harvey took a step forward. He narrowed his eyes at Beresford and said with a smile, "Lost City's Knights Templars? So? Since when have you grown so bold and acted with such arrogance in our land?"Originally, Harvey wasn't planning to step in. He wanted to see how Lanny was going to handle this. But he couldn't stand Beresford's haughtiness anymore, and so he decided to get his hands dirty instead."What now? Even some random man t

"Useless!" Harvey kicked Micah hard and sent him sprawling to the floor.Micah got back to his feet, his eye twitching uncontrollably. He stayed silent and didn't resist. He simply lowered his arms as he looked at Harvey.Beresford was fuming. "Are you out of your mind, Micah? You are the Knights Templar's elite, and my guardian! How can you let someone beat you like this? Do you know just how much embarrassment you have caused me?"I'm ordering you to take him down right now, no matter who this guy is or what he is capable of! Cripple him! Kill him! I'll take full responsibility for what happened afterward!" Beresford was practically losing himself to anger.Beresford had always been the one to humiliate others. He didn't expect that someone was already humiliating him on his very first day in Grand City. Beresford couldn't accept any of this. He needed to be the one in the limelight…not getting humiliated out of nowhere like this.If word got out, how was he supposed to keep

"Touch me, and the entire Lost City's Divine Lineage will never stop hunting you! I, Beresford, will see you as my eternal enemy! Even if I can't beat you now, never say never!" Beresford said to Harvey, practically seething with murderous rage.It was obvious that he believed that by invoking Lost City as his shield, he would be able to force Harvey to back off. After all, no matter how powerful Harvey was, he was just one man.How could Harvey stand against an army?Micah instinctively tried to warn him, "Junior Commander, before true power, numbers are just…""Enough! As someone from Lost City, how can you grovel before those from here?" Beresford immediately cut Micah off. "You're my guardian! My family has sacrificed a lot so you can gain your power! But I didn't expect you to act so cowardly when I needed you! I'm warning you… After this, I will ask the Judges to punish you!" Beresford's expression was one of rage.He believed that Micah should have fought for him, even if

From the moment Micah realized Harvey for who he was, he already knew that they had been played. His Junior Commander had been played like a fiddle.If that was the case, their dignity had already been tarnished, anyway. If that was the case, why not just lay out all the cards on the table? They could always die together.When Harvey heard Micah's words, his eyes shifted to Jade.Jade's expression instantly turned to shock, and she instinctively wanted to flee. Before she could make a run for it, Lanny waved a hand, and several guards immediately pinned her to the ground.Jade's face was filled with terror as she shrieked hysterically, "You can't touch me! None of you can touch me! I belong to Mr. Dan now! He already promised me that if I helped him with this, I would become his wife! Lanny… You're just jealous of me! Jealous that I can be his wife! That's why you keep coming after me!"Harvey raised an eyebrow after hearing the drama. With no hesitation, he gave Lanny full author
