Even though Hazel Malone felt a little unbearable, her rage had gotten a hold of her after seeing Harvey York kept showing off like that.She raised her chin and pointed at Harvey with her nose.“Harvey York. Without my father and Young Master Duncan supporting you and keeping you out of trouble, you’re just a nobody in Mordu!“I’ll let you realize this tonight. I’ll make you know your limits…”Under countless playful, scornful, and derisive gazes, Harvey calmly sipped his tea while squinting at Garry Duncan.“If you don’t get out of here right now, you’ll be in deep trouble real soon, Young Master Duncan.”The entire crowd froze after hearing those words.Everyone gasped, then they just stared flabbergasted at Harvey.After all, most people had already recognized the Mixed Martial Arts Champion, Garry Duncan himself.‘Do you even know who you’re facing, brother?’‘He’s a professional that can break bricks with his bare hand! He’s also extremely well-known in Durin!’‘He doe
Even though Garry Duncan was shocked, he was still the Mixed Martial Arts Champion. Under those circumstances, there was no way he wouldn't be sensitive about his reputation.He covered his face and stood up, then glared at Aiden Bauer.“Who do you think you are, Aiden?“You should know that you wouldn’t even stand a chance if I go against you, not even if there’s ten of you!”Slap!Aiden did not waste time talking and slapped Garry across his face, making him stumble backward.“Mixed Martial Arts Champion, are you?!“Are you even that good?!“If you are really as good as they say, then show me!”Aiden had already acknowledged himself as Harvey York’s lackey. Since there was a chance to show off his prowess before his master, he would naturally do his best.“You…”Garry covered his face once again. He never thought that Aiden would disrespect him like this.The others gathered around were dumbfounded when they saw the sight.One was a highly influential vice branch leader
Aiden Bauer immediately froze after hearing Hazel Malone’s words, then looked back at Harvey York while feeling utterly terrified.To Hazel and the other influencers, Aiden was stunned entirely by Hazel’s words.She felt like she had regained her backbone at this moment.“Young Master Bauer. I know that you’re a big character, but you should hurry up and apologize after offending Young Master Duncan himself! Just slap yourself in the face and be done with it already!” said Hazel without pause.“If not, you’ll die an excruciating death if Young Master Duncan decides to go all out!”Before Aiden could even react, Garry Duncan’s expression frantically changed.“Ms. Malone’s right. If it weren’t for me trying to avoid trouble for the sake of the Smith family, I could’ve easily dodged your slaps!“I won’t argue with you for your branch leader’s sake, Young Master Bauer, but please know your limits from now on!”Even though Garry’s face was completely swollen, he still pretended to b
Even before Garry Duncan was done talking, another person came up to him and slapped Garry with his backhand.The person was none other than Chief Leonard Bray himself.He did not pay Garry any respect at all. At that moment, trails of blood were seeping out of Garry’s mouth.He became enraged after stumbling a few steps backward while covering his mouth.“You bastard! How dare you hit me?!“You have to give me a fair statement for this, Chief Leonard!“If not, I’ll flatten the Bray Temple once I’m done here!”“You dare provoke Young Master Duncan, Chief Leonard?!” Hazel Malone screamed after seeing what had just happened.“Did you forget already? Did you forget what you did when we had vegetarian food in the temple?“Did you forget the things that you did at the parking lot?“Did you forget how strong Young Master Duncan actually is?!”Chief Leonard calmly glared at Hazel, then coldly replied, “You’re lucky I don’t hit women. If not, I would’ve already crippled you first!
Garry Duncan was filled with fear and anger. He knew full well that there was no way to bail out Harvey York with Kristan Duncan’s status alone.He was just using the opportunity to show off that day.Apparently, it was impossible for him to find someone who could bail Harvey out!At least the Mordu Central Police Station chief inspector would suffice, but Garry didn’t even know anyone like that.Hazel Malone was utterly shocked while seeing the sight. She obviously knew who Yona Lynch was, but she didn’t expect that she would stand up for Harvey as well.Hazel and the others were dumbfounded. All of them became fearful of Harvey at that moment.They never thought that the country bumpkin they wholly despised would have a status and position way beyond their wildest imaginations.Before Hazel could say anything else, Yona held onto Harvey’s arm and whispered, “Sir York, today’s a big day.“You don’t have to waste time on these small fries.“Let’s head in front.”Harvey glance
While Hazel Malone was still hating on the fact that Harvey York was a kept man…Harvey had already sat on the main table in the front hall with Yona Lynch and the others.Quite a few familiar faces were seated on the same table. Yona, Chief Leonard Bray, and Justin Walker, among other people, were present.Benjamin Lynch and Otis Kye should’ve been here by now, but there were specific rules that government officials needed to follow. They should’ve been in their separate box entertained by Zeke Smith himself.Even though Harvey felt a little odd, he didn’t speak about it either. He passionately greeted every person at the same table as him.Harvey realized that there were two empty seats after.One must’ve belonged to the wealthiest person in Gangnam, Jaden Smith.The other had the name “Jean” written on it.After thinking for a while, Harvey realized that the empty seat must’ve been reserved for the Jean family.Mordu’s Jean family was also listed as one of the top ten famil
“Since Terry Smith is titled as one of the Six Princes of Mordu, it should be enough to prove his strength.“He won’t hand over his authority and let Zeke Smith rise to power that easily.“That’s why tonight’s banquet will not be ending that soon.“If Zeke rises to power, both the Thompson family and the Jean family will suppress the Smith family with all their might.“If Terry gains authority instead, the Smith family, one of the top ten families of Mordu, might just turn into servants for Wolsing’s Thompson family.“No matter how you look at it, it won’t end well for the Smith family.”Harvey York slightly squinted. As expected from a member from one of the top ten families, Yona Lynch. She had way more inside information about those things compared to the others.“Is there really no other way to deal with this?” Harvey curiously asked.“Yes, there is.”Yona nodded.“But it’s too complicated.”“What is it?”“Senior Smith still holds all authority of the Smith family for t
Yvonne Xavier frowned as she strode toward the hall, then stopped when she was about forty feet away from those people with white shirts.After shifting her gaze toward the young man holding a portrait, Yvonne frowned.“This is the Smith family’s household, Mister. My grandfather, the richest man in Gangnam, is hosting his birthday banquet tonight.“It’s completely unreasonable for you to wear mourning clothes and cause such a huge ruckus while carrying someone’s portrait here, is it not?!”Yvonne made a gesture while she was speaking. Guards of the Smith family all appeared out of nowhere and completely surrounded the entire place, coldly glaring at the people.The man handed the portrait to his subordinate beside him, then walked forward while crossing his arms. After lighting up a thin and long cigar and taking a puff from it, he then coldly exclaimed, “Ms. Xavier, correct?“Let me introduce myself. My name is Alec Cloude, and the person in the portrait is my father.“I came
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
