Chapter 2461
“So what?”
Harvey was unmoved, his face devoid of any emotion.
“Pardon me, but I still have to look at the ancestral hall to see if I can save the King of Gambling.”
“If I save him, I believe he’ll give me something worth a thousand times more than your offer.”
Harvey gave the scattered green notes on the
ground one final glance before leaving.
“Sigh.
Jon took out a cigar and casually lit it up. He blew out a puff of smoke as he watched Harvey’s disappearing back.
“I gave you respect and called you by your name
when I was talking to you, young man.”
“Despite that, you remain arrogant just because you’re still young and spry.”
“You’re forcing my hand!”
“I’ll teach you a lesson right now!”
“I’ll let you know what it means to anger someone out of your league!”
Jon’s kind and gentle manner vanished immediately.
In its place was a ferocious, haughty aura of a spurned elite.
At this, Harvey turned around and narrowed his eyes at Jon in curious scrutiny.
“Well, well. Are you going to fight me, Master Surrey?”
“No such thing. I’m just teaching you a small
lesson so you’ll be aware of your limits.”
Jon gestured to the beautiful woman who had stayed by his side silently all this while “Nella, let Harvey stay here so he’ll
consider his actions.”
“When he’s finally willing to work for me and give up his hidden art of suppressing evil influence with a single drop of blood, you
may let him go.”
Jon flashed Harvey a faint smile filled with confidence before leaving the study calmly.
Just as Harvey moved his leg to take a step further, Nella leapt out and blocked his path.
“Sir York, please stay.”
“If you want to leave, you must agree to Master Surrey’s terms.”
Harvey chuckled, amused.
“You really think you two can stop me?”
This time, it was Nella’s turn to chuckle. She flicked her left hand and revealed to Harvey several yellow paper talismans.
At the same time, she drew out a peach-wood sword from the sheath swung on her back and narrowed her eyes threateningly at
Harvey.
“Geomancy arts can not only save lives, but it can kill as well.”
“I train in the latter. You can try getting away from me if you like!”
Just as she spoke, four disciples from the Surrey Establishment strode in.
All of them held Feng Shui plates and peach wood swords. They approached Harvey with faces devoid of emotion, intent on
killing him.
L.
Harvey was similarly emotionless, unperturbed
by their threat. He took a step forward nonchalantly, unimpressed.
Nella swung her sword, and all the paper talismans in her hand went in flames that covered the blade. The sword began to
emanate with a fearsome aura.
She started to chant some mantras.
“Rin, Pyo, Toh, Sha, Kai, Jin, Retsu, Zai...”
Slap!
Yet before she could utter the last word of the chant, Harvey was already right in front of her.
Without an ounce of hesitation, he immediately swung his hand.
Nella was interrupted mid-chant and was promptly sent flying by Harvey’s attack.
The other four disciples’ expressions changed into horror almost immediately. They hurriedly
raised their Feng Shui plates and swords, and directed a beam of bright light at Harvey.
Harvey’s face remained blank. He shifted his body away from the light with lightning speed.
What followed was a string of loud slaps.
These so-called geomancy masters didn’t have the chance to cast any spells as they tumbled to the ground in agony and
covered their injured faces.
Nella held her face, glaring resentfully at Harvey before jumping back up and pouncing at him with her sword at hand.
As she did so, she uttered another chant. The peach-wood sword began to shake as a powerful aura enveloped it. So powerful it
was, a single swing was as terrifying as a blizzard.
