Harvey York's Rise to Power



There was only calmness in Harvey's eyes.

The moment the red bolts were released, Harvey swung his left arm, and the jacket he removed was thrown out into the air. The jacket wrapped itself around one of the red bolts.

In the next instance, the red bolt instantly exploded. It caused a chain reaction and all the bolts exploded in midair.

There was a scream.

Red flames rained down from above, and some of them fell on the assassins.

A few of them were in so much pain that they twitched and struggled on the ground. After a short moment, they stopped breathing.

"Banefire!" Harvey said when he saw what was happening before him.

The so-called Banefire is a unique type of flame that the martial arts world concocted. It would keep on burning once it came in contact with human flesh, and it wouldn't even extinguish when water was doused on it.

Those who were hit will die in pain.

Something like this was forbidden in both the martial arts world and the underworld. Even if it appeared in a war, those who used it would be condemned by the righteous.

This time, the Banefire was used in conjunction with the Thunderblasts. Which meant they had no more standards at all.

When the remaining assassins saw that they couldn't do anything to Harvey, they stared at him with even more brutality.

Just as the assassins were going to continue with their offensive, a siren could be heard approaching.

Several police cruisers were coming into view from afar.

Yvonne must have contacted the police station the moment they were under attack.

The assassins all looked at each other with a dark expression. They exchanged a glance, and chose a different direction to run in without even speaking with each other.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Just the assassins' discipline alone was enough to surprise all of them.

However, Harvey wasn't going to just let them leave. He signaled Yvonne's security forces to pursue them together with the members of the police force.

Meanwhile, he himself chased after an assassin who looked completely ordinary.

There was nothing special about this assassin, and he didn't even have a repeating crossbow. But for some reason, Harvey instinctively felt that he was one of the men behind this attack.

Only by capturing him could he find the truth regarding the chain assassination. He would also gain a witness.

When Yvonne saw Harvey was pursuing the assassin, she quickly said, "Be careful, sir!"

Harvey didn't even turn around, and said, "Take your men and guard this place. Give Ray a call and ask him to send reinforcements. I'll be back soon."

With that, Harvey's figure disappeared from view, and he pursued the assassin into an empty courtyard.

The assassin's expression slightly changed, as if he couldn't understand why Harvey would pursue him.

After a while, he immediately ran to an office building nearby. It was obvious that he wanted to create enough chaos so he could escape.

Harvey's expression turned cold as he chased after the man. He slammed his palm on the wall, and the glass on the office building immediately exploded. Several pieces of glass headed straight to the assassin.

There was a bang, and the assassin's figure wavered. Scarlet lines appeared on his back.

However, he said nothing and immediately rolled into the office building's main hall and then into the crowd.

There was a scream; the main hall, which was filled with people, instantly turned into chaos. The assassin even kicked a few people on the ground before running to the fire exit with a cruel smile.
