The crowd was shocked, muddled, and terrified!Longmen’s branch leader was kneeling in front of a junior and being slapped left and right. Nobody would believe it if they weren’t there to see it for themselves!It did not matter what background Harvey York had or who he called.But victory had already been decided!When Oliver Bauer kneeled, all of his pride and dignity were already gone.And all those thirty-six men were kneeling on the ground as well without the courage even to raise their heads.It was safe to say that he was just as miserable as he was domineering before.The people that came to stand up for Hugh Baker were all utterly terrified by the sight and then quietly backed away.Even though they couldn’t get away, all of them had the same idea, and that was to stay away from Hugh and pretend that they were not acquainted with him.Hugh and Tristan Quinlan were filled with resentment. They wanted to choke Harvey to death so badly.Why would crushing a live-in son-
At the Gardens Residence.Harvey York carefully walked inside, about to take a shower in the bathroom.With a resounding click, the entire living room that was as dark as night was lit up.Mandy Zimmer and Xynthia Zimmer were wearing pajamas on the couch, hugging their arms while glaring at Harvey.Master York, who just crippled a branch leader of Longmen, felt like his head was going numb.He had to force a smile and ask, “Mandy, Xynthia, why aren’t the two of you in bed yet?”“What were you doing outside? And why did you come back this late?”Mandy was frowning.Harvey replied, “It’s nothing. I just went to have a talk with Hugh’s godfather.”“And then what happened?”“And then, the father and son realized their own mistakes. They promised not to step foot in Buckwood ever again, then held each other’s hands and left,” Harvey said, full of confidence.Mandy and Xynthia looked at each other full of disbelief, but they saw that Harvey was completely unscathed. It seemed like
On the next day.Harvey York had gotten word of Oliver Bauer being assassinated early in the morning.After giving a call to Yannick Bisson, Harvey then went to a funeral parlor.Oliver’s status was too extraordinary. That was why besides Yannick, Yoel Graham was there as well.Inside the morgue, there was a body that was as pale as a ghost. It was none other than Oliver himself, but with an additional red dot on his forehead.Harvey sized up the body and calmly asked, “What happened here?”Yannick took a deep breath and replied, “After Oliver and the group left the parking lot last night, they went to Edward Hospital to treat their injuries. They then drove toward Buckwood International Airport right after.“About twelve miles away from the airport, Oliver asked to open the car window right as they were leaving the urban district. It was then a suppressed bullet went right into his head. It was a one-shot kill!“The shooter’s extremely accurate. No ordinary person could’ve mad
Harvey York seemed indifferent.Yannick Bisson, who was standing on the side, suddenly spoke, “CEO York, what do you think the killer’s motives are for assassinating Oliver Bauer?”Harvey calmly replied, “It’s not for money, and it’s not for revenge. Then, it’s most likely to cause trouble.“It might not be against me, but the killer is at least trying to shake things up in Buckwood for some reason. No doubt about it.“Buckwood is basically a metal bucket now, after all. It’s almost impossible for outsiders to just waltz in as they please.“But if they were to push me to the heart of the struggle and the government of South Light had to throw me out to give Samuel Bauer a fair statement, then, they might have a shot to come in.”Without a second thought, Harvey continued speaking.“If we think about it this way, the killer’s motive isn’t just to kill Oliver, and certainly it’s not to deal with me either.“They wanted to take advantage of the situation while Longmen is in chaos
Harvey York then replied calmly, “Even if everything that you said was true, what are you going to do about it?”Rachel Hardy hugged her arms and looked down on Harvey.“Let’s cut the nonsense. Kneel and break your arms, then we’ll talk after you have kneeled for seven whole days in front of my master’s grave!“If not, you won’t be able to bear the consequences!”Rachel was domineering at this moment. There was an unspeakable aura surrounding her.It was apparent that this woman was at least capable. It seemed like she had been to war before.Her comrades were glaring at Harvey ferociously, as if they would kill him in any minute.Harvey calmly replied, “So, you’re saying that you won’t be investigating the matter any further?”“Investigate?! All of the facts are here, why would there even be a need for that?!” Rachel retorted coldly.“Even if you don’t, do you think that you’re worthy enough for me to break my arms and kneel in front of Oliver’s grave?”Harvey’s expression t
Rachel Hardy sized up Yoel Graham and let out a burst of laughter. “You must be the first-in-command of the government of Buckwood, Yoel Graham.“You’re nothing in front of me!“The first-in-command of South Light’s government being here should be more appropriate!“I’m telling you right now, nobody can protect Harvey today! Harvey York, you’re as good as dead!”In the middle of Rachel’s speech, she took out a red license and threw it right at Yoel’s face.Yoel grabbed the license and took a glance. His expression changed frantically after he saw it.“The license to kill?!”“It’s good that you know about this. Even though I already quit Longmen, my license is still here. Even the sovereign grants special permission to kill first before reporting!“Even if you were to stand in my way, Yoel Graham, I’ll just kill you off too! Who would even dare to stand up for you?!”Rachel did not give a sliver of respect toward Yoel. Her license to kill was her trump card.Besides, she alr
Sluggish!Everyone was sluggish!They could tell that Rachel Hardy was an extraordinary top talent. She was going for Harvey York with all her strength.But in front of Harvey’s palm, the all-powerful top talent could not even withstand a single blow.Puff!Rachel stood back up from a ruined wall while her face was beet red and dust covering all over her. She then shyly exclaimed, “Harvey, you’re shameless! How dare you land a sneak attack?!”Her brothers and sisters froze over slightly, then righteously pointed at Harvey while furiously scolding him, “Shameless! Sneaking up on her like that!”“Is that so?“Then, come at me again.”Harvey nonchalantly flashed the beckoning finger at Rachel.He was provoking her!Harvey was showing no respect toward Rachel at all!Rachel’s expression changed frantically, then waved her hand in the next moment. A sword box inside the Hummer behind her slightly trembled. A dagger that was three inches long then flew out right into Rachel’s han
Under everyone’s gaze, Harvey York was giving slap after slap across Rachel Hardy’s face without even thinking to go soft on her. He was not planning to give any form of mercy either.An extinct beauty such as Rachel was soon slapped to the point where her face was as swollen as a pig. Her brothers and sisters’ jaws dropped while seeing the sight.Even Yoel Graham and Yannick Bisson, who stood on the side, were shocked.They knew that Harvey was powerful, but they never thought that he was this powerful.He was so strong to the point where Rachel, who had the license to kill, was just mush in front of Harvey!Bang! After the final slap across Rachel’s face, she was then sent flying again.After struggling on the ground for some time, she spat out a mouthful of blood and tried to stand back up again.Harvey walked forward and thrust a strong kick right toward Rachel’s torso.“No!”Rachel was sweating profusely. She wanted to dodge, but she had no strength left whatsoever.Ba
Night fell by the time Harvey and the others returned to Grand City.Kenta had already left midway. It was obvious that he knew following Harvey and the others was pointless now.In the meantime, before returning to Grand City, Harvey had already instructed Clarion to spread the news of Origin Sword Style's extermination back to Grand City and how Earth Hall was instrumental in its destruction.By the time Clarion returned to Grand City, he was immediately enthusiastically welcomed back home. Initially, many people had an issue with him suddenly becoming the leader of Earth Hall. However, they did not expect Clarion to be able to single-handedly handle one of the main pillars of Sky Plane, the Origin Sword Style school shortly after he led the Earth Hall.While many did not know what actually transpired, Clarion and his team brought Isoroku's body back to Grand City. Taking Isoroku's body back was a great achievement on its own as it also means that Sky Plane's overall power would
Isoroku immediately crumpled on the ground. The arrogant master of the Origin Sword Style suddenly surrendered and killed himself. There was only bitterness and regret on his face, as if regretting why he did not simply stay and train in isolation. That way, he would not meet the person before him… Harvey.However, no matter how much regret he had, he needed to commit suicide.That was because he knew very well that Harvey had revealed to him his true identity. If he refused to die, Harvey would turn around and completely wipe out the Origin Sword Style. Now that he decisively made such a decision, Harvey would not return to Sky Plane.Harvey looked at Isoroku's body. With a smirk, he said, "That's why I don't like others to find out who I really am." Then, Harvey planted his foot on Isoroku's longsword. There was a loud clang, and the longsword instantly shattered. Its fragments fired in all directions.All the Origin Sword Style elites had been eradicated completely.A few minut
Isoroku's blade slashed downward. It was so fast that it was barely visible to the naked eye. However, before it could even touch Harvey's body, Isoroku suddenly saw him raise his right hand and flicked, hitting the blade when it was just starting to get close.Clang!It was an extremely simple move. However, Harvey's flick reached the blade first, and he immediately parried the attack. Isoroku's entire body shuddered, and his heart skipped a beat. He thought he was already victorious, but he was left with a shocked expression.He raised his blade and wanted to attempt another attack, but he could not do anything for a long while. Harvey was simply standing there with a calm expression. The two of them were close to each other, and Harvey looked like he was completely exposed. However, for someone like Isoroku, when someone was completely exposed, it also meant that he was not exposed at all. If he was not exposed, his blade could not slash downward at him anymore."You… You must h
"The joy's of youth," said Isoroku with a sigh of admiration. "To be young means to be fearless. It also means that there is no respect, and there is ignorance just how difficult it is for something to be overcome. When I'm in a good and chatty mood, you're attempting to anger me. You think that it's your power that makes me pause when I'm the one who's bestowing you this opportunity. You're simply too naive."Harvey calmly replied, "So you want to use your age to force me to respect you. Don't you understand that it's always out with the old and in with the new? If you don't, you'll really get thrown out one day."While the two of them were calmly exchanging words, the truth was from the moment they met each other, they were already clashing against each other. "Looks like there's nothing more to say."Isoroku sighed and slowly pointed the edge of his blade at Harvey. "I will now kill everyone close to you first before slicing your limbs. I'll make you die as you scream in pain."
Harvey was already making quite a concession. When he left with Sora, he was already prepared to kill him once he had arrived at his destination. But since Isoroku came knocking, he did not mind giving Sora up since he was not that important anyway."You're so confident, Harvey. So full of vigor. However, you forgot that in this condition, you're not in a place to negotiate," said Isoroku coldly. "Even if someone's going to come up with the conditions, that person will be me."Let's see now… Release that disappointing son of mine, and then leave your woman behind. Then, you will personally maim the limbs of your own men and then yourself. Only then will I allow you to leave on your knees. How does that sound?" It was clear Isoroku thought little of Harvey in the end."I'm not in the business of making life difficult for unimportant people like you. But since the Origin Sword Style has lost so many people, I need to get something back for them as their Predecessor, correct?"Then, H
"I've already heard your name even before you step foot in Grand City. That's because the Six Schools are all connected to the Origin Sword Style. By defeating all Six Schools alone, you have disrespected me," explained Isoroku, as if he was in the mood for a chat."What's more, you even killed my beloved student Sverker and even took down my worthless son? If it isn't because my source is very well trusted, I couldn't even believe it. For you to reach this level of power at this age, it's beyond amazing. Perhaps it's true when they say that the youths should never be underestimated!" Isoroku said with a sigh of admiration.Dozens of elites stepped out from the other military helicopters. They were probably Isoroku's personal students. All of them looked at Harvey with suspicion and shock. All of them knew how powerful Sverker was, that was why they found it even harder to believe that Harvey could defeat Sverker.Even if they put Sverker's defeat on one side, Sora was accompanied b
The opposing force got out of the helicopters after they landed, armed with weapons. Some were melee weapons, some were firearms, and they looked high and mighty all the way.Kenta had no choice but to step up. He raised his hand and yelled, "I'm from Fujihara…"But before he could even finish, someone from the other side had already pulled the trigger. A bullet streaked through Kenta's hair, and he finally broke a sweat when he realized what had just happened.Harvey knew very clearly that they were coming for him after seeing what happened. That was why he decided not to stay still anymore and stepped forward. He coldly said, "You're here for me, aren't you? Tell Isoroku to come talk to me."I have to say you are quite brave, Harvey. Calling me by name without any honorifics," A stern and cold voice came from a helicopter right before them. The door opened, and an islander slowly walked out. It was a man with white hair and beard.His figure was thin and even looked sickly, defi
"You're someone who has experience, too. You know that you'll need at least three hours to prepare to get this many military helicopters deployed. It's not something that you can do in an instant. It means that while you're still fighting with Sora and his men, Isoroku has been standing by in this place."Not to mention that we Fujiharas will never work with them before getting what we want. Which means that the Origin Sword Style elites already knew that you will most likely survive even if you're at a disadvantage. That's why they've been staying here for a long time."While everyone knew that Kenta was probably just spewing nonsense, Clarion was still partially convinced when he heard how Kenta made his argument sound plausible. Could it be that Kenta was not the one pulling the strings here?Harvey narrowed his eyes and waved his hand. "At the very least, Kenta's right about his social standing being insufficient to work with Isoroku. Not to mention that now that they have obtai
At this time, the helicopter was passing through rows of mountains and valleys. This area was uninhabited. After passing through this uninhabited area, one would arrive at the Golden Triangle. Once one passed through the Golden Triangle, one would reach Hyperborea and finally Grand City.It was around this time that Harvey could feel a burst of murderous intent."Crap! Everyone, brace yourselves!" Clarion suddenly yelled as he looked in front of him from the front seats. He even took out a cigarette, lit it up, and took a deep huff to increase his mental focus as his expression darkened.Harvey quickly walked over to the front and narrowed his eyes. Then, he saw a swarm of helicopters flying in mid-air in a tight formation. Harvey looked at the flag on the helicopters with a smirk and gave Kenta a glance. "This is your so-called guarantee?"Kenta's expression also darkened as he looked in front in disbelief. After a while, he finally spoke in a shaky voice, "Forget about the helico
