Everyone gasped.Even if the owner of the broken sword would be given the right to request anything from the Head Coach, three hundred million dollars was a steep price.With The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets backing Sharon, who would dare compete against her?Even if they had a lot of money, they feared the nation would take revenge and hurt them.Despite this, someone was actually brave enough to increase the bid all of a sudden.At four hundred and fifty million dollars, no less!The unexpected turn of events had everyone bewildered.‘This kid who came out of nowhere is a little too bold, isn’t he?!’“Harvey, you bastard!”Murphy glared at Harvey, furious.“Are you screwing with us?! Do you even have this much money?!”“If you don’t, you’re ruining the organizer’s interests by raising the bid for no reason!”“Someone! Throw this man out of this place!”Sharon too glared at Harvey, her face twisted with hatred. “Don’t do anything stupid just because you want to ha
“Sold!”Just as Harvey was about to increase his bid, the distant voice echoed once again, carrying obvious arrogance. “Six hundred million dollars, sold to Ms. Pearl!”The sound of the gavel was heard immediately after.Harvey didn’t even have the chance to react.At this point, the Five Virtues Temple was no longer supporting Sharon in secret. They were blatantly standing by her side!Harvey’s gaze turned cold instantly.“This is improper!” he shouted, scornful.“I haven’t even called my bid!”“I’ll buy it for seven hundred and fifty million!”“The Maiden has already decided that Ms. Pearl is the winner.”The middle-aged priestess glanced at Harvey without even bothering to explain any further. She smiled at Sharon and said, “Please head backstage and pay first before you take the Head Coach’s broken sword, Ms. Pearl.”“As the representative of the Five Virtues Temple, I congratulate you.”Sharon and Murphy froze, rather stunned.They thought Harvey would keep going a
“That item is mine! I’m buying it for seven hundred and fifty million right now!”“According to the auction hall’s rules, the highest bidder always wins.”“Even if you’re confirming the bid, you need to call three times before slamming the gavel!”“But you locked in on the lower bid without giving the others any chance to bid?”“What’s the meaning of this?!”“Are you conspiring with The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets to sell them something that belongs to the people of Country H?!”“You people should know what this item represents!”“This belonged to the Head Coach!”“You’re already disrespecting him enough to auction something like this…”“But now, you’re even deciding who gets to buy it?! Are you insulting the Head Coach?!”“How dare you, you brat?!” The middle-aged priestess screeched back, livid.“Do you know the consequences of smearing the Five Virtues Temple?!”Young priestesses of the Five Virtues Temple appeared from all directions, all shooting Harvey cold glar
“Of course not,” Harvey shot back icily, his face scornful.“You don’t have to participate if you’re not satisfied,” Teal replied calmly, indifferent to his rage.“If you’re here, you’ll have to abide by my rules.”“I have the final say in my territory, after all!”“Alright, that’s enough talk. Take Sir York and leave, Ms. Clarke.”“I won’t argue with you. For your family’s sake, I won’t put you two on the blacklist.”“But there will be no next time.”Teal’s words returned to its cold and distant tone…As if she was the golden rule.“This is your explanation?”“These are the Five Virtues Temple’s rules?”Harvey chuckled calmly.“How domineering! You must be really confident in yourselves!”It seemed Teal didn’t hear Harvey’s words, or perhaps she just couldn’t be bothered to answer him. Either way, there was no reply.The middle-aged priestess hissed, “Come! Send them off!”Several Five Virtues Temple disciples closed in slowly, disdain evident on their faces. “Let’s g
“This broken sword belonged to the Head Coach, and that’s all there is to it.”“It has no other meaning.”“This is just trash that the Head Coach casted aside after it was broken during the Euro-American battle.”“Who knew that someone would be this shameless to pick this up?”“You can request the Head Coach for anything you want with this garbage? What a joke.”“Can you think for a second?”“You think you can ask for anything from him with a broken sword?”“Stop dreaming!”“You can only take this sword home as a collection. After all, this is a weapon that has slain countless men.”“Judging from your skinny limbs, you shouldn’t blame the Head Coach if you croak because of the killer aura on this thing”Harvey was indifferent. He possessed many things, so why would he give a thought about a broken sword?He only wanted to prevent The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets from having such a thing by calling his bid.But since the Five Virtues Temple was biased toward them, Harve
Harvey looked at Sharon, still very much calm. With how much she praised his other identity, he almost couldn’t bear making fun of her anymore.“I don’t need any evidence,” he replied calmly.“I’m the Head Coach, after all.”“It’s not a token because I said so!”“Do you understand?”His claim stunned the crowd into utter shock.Everyone started at Harvey, full of disbelief.‘Branch Leader York and Prince York are identities of the legendary Head Coach?!’If that truly was the case, then his words were right and the broken sword did have no use at all!Even Teal, who was safe backstage, found herself shaking in bewilderment at Harvey’s claim. Even for a woman as divine as herself, she could only admire the Head Coach from afar.Yet this kept man who used women to rise to power actually claimed himself to be the Head dignified Coach!How was this possible?!A long silence passed, only broken by Murphy’s derisive scoff. “What’s this? Do you all actually believe what this
Harvey and Leslie returned to the presidential suite half an hour later.Leslie’s face was scrunched in an odd expression when she entered the room. She was hesitant to utter a single word.Toby knocked on the door before locking eyes with Harvey, wearing the same odd expression as Leslie’s. Harvey then glanced at Leslie, silent.Toby, on the other hand, burst out laughing before walking in.“Please don’t blame Leslie, Brother York. Even if she didn’t tell me, with my abilities, I’ll figure it out by tomorrow morning anyway.”“In any case, she’s not really selling you out.”Harvey chuckled.“You’re too kind. She only told you everything for my own good. I can understand that, so I won’t blame her for it either.”“That’s good.”Toby poured himself a cup of tea, and then pondered for a moment.“Brother York… Since we’re already family, let’s just be frank with each other. Are you really the legendary Head Coach?” he asked quietly.“Isn’t it fine if you tell me?”“I just nee
“Oh? Isn’t Vince with Scarlett? Why’s he aiming for Teal as well?”Harvey’s lips curled to reveal a sardonic smile.“Is the Five Virtues Temple his harem?”“Shhhh! Don’t say things like that!”Toby stood up anxiously, shocked. After making sure that nobody was listening in, he breathed out a sigh of relief.“While the Yorks of Hong Kong are the true kings of Hong Kong and Las Vegas, the Five Virtues Temple holds great influence over South Light and its surrounding areas.”“The title of sacred martial art training ground isn’t just for show, you know.”“Not only did you go against Teal, you even greatly damaged their reputation!”“These two things should be enough for them to hold a big grudge against you!”Toby frowned.“You should seclude yourself for the next few days. You shouldn’t go anywhere, in case the Five Virtues Temple finds anything they can use against you.”“Ever since Scarlett failed their mission to usurp the Hamilton family, they’ve already held a grudge agai
"That's her, Big bro! According to my spy, he said Juliana is no longer hiding it and cheats openly! I didn't want to believe it, but from the looks of it, she's been cheating all this time!" Alexei said to Harvey. He was so upset that he almost cried.Harvey frowned. "That's all you know? What else do you have?"Alexei quickly took out his phone. "My spy has just sent me all the information. Juliana went to Lost City for further studies, and she studied well. Originally, according to the promise made, she should already be back about half a month ago so we could get married. However, she got to know this man called Hawk John at her graduation party. The two became fast friends. She even announced that they're best friends forever!"I thought they were just ordinary friends, but from the looks of it… That isn't it at all! Forget hiding it, Juliana's directly taking him back! I hate this!" Alexei slammed his chest, as if he were in a lot of pain.Harvey was speechless. "Seriou
Harvey's eyes started to twitch as he immediately gave Alexei a look. It was a call for help.Alexei shrugged. There was nothing he could do. However, it was exactly at this time that his phone suddenly started to vibrate. He gave it a weird look and picked it up. Then, he was stunned… He was practically frozen. No longer caring about anything, Alexei immediately ran over to Harvey and hugged his legs tightly. "Bro! Big bro! You have to help me! You must!"Alexei instantly started crying.Harvey promptly bent down and held Alexei's shoulder. As if he had found a way out, he said solemnly, "Don't worry, Alexei. I've always treated you like my own little brother. Your problem is also my problem. Even if the world is collapsing, I will protect you. So, stop worrying!"Alexei was so touched that he couldn't stop himself from weeping. "You're treating me so well, Big bro, even after I sold you out to my Senior…"Harvey's eyes twitched again. "We're family! What can I say? Let's
Harvey's eyes instinctively twitched. "It belongs to me, so why can't I stay here?"Vaida said worriedly, "Now that Grand City is so chaotic and the Sacred Lands are on the verge of getting into a fight, it's really dangerous if you stay outside. Both my father and I are worried about you. So… Shouldn't you move back?"Harvey led Vaida into the living room and said with a smile, "Don't overthink things, Vaida. It's exactly because things are getting unruly that I should stay in Dragon Gate Training Hall to be a stabilizing presence as their scion, right? Not to mention, I've bothered all of you too much all this time. I have too much going on. If I stay there, it will only bother the mayor, Mr. Wenzel, and Mr. Geoffrey. So, it's better if I stay at my own place."However, Harvey paused when he reached this part of the conversation. "Of course, if there's a need, all you need to do is to give me a call and I'll be there."Vaida nodded. "Harvey, other than the reason you've given us
Mandy was a little startled, then looked at Harvey with a strange look. "You're in such a rush to get rid of me? Don't tell me you really want to be the mayor's son-in-law? I've been here less than a day, and there are already plenty of people warning me about you becoming one."Harvey rolled his eyes. "Don't listen to their nonsense. If I really wanted to be his son-in-law, I wouldn't have gone to save you.""Then why are you in such a rush to send me away?"Harvey sighed. "There are really some things that are beyond my abilities. Let's use what happened this time with Clarion as an example. It's true that I let him take the glory, but after doing that, Dan now considers me an enemy and a thorn in his side. "As a member of the Top Ten Families, you have some understanding of him, don't you? Since he can't deal with me effectively, he'll definitely start with you. The reason I'm asking you to leave is for your own safety."Mandy clicked her tongue. "If Dan really wants to do
Emery slowly flipped and opened the Chapter of Ascension. The Chapter itself was old, written with small letters. Accompanied the original texts were notes and some insights.Emery only believed a portion of the rumors regarding the Chapter of Ascension. After reading through the notes and personal reflections, he could ascertain that the Chapter of Ascension was genuine.What was written inside the Chapter of Ascension was indeed capable of completely changing a martial artist's way of thinking.As he read through it, Emery was already subconsciously trying to test and start training by following what was recorded within the Chapter of Ascension. He had just started to let the energy inside of him flow, but had already noticed that his power, that reached a bottleneck for some time, started to have a breakthrough.In just an instant, Emery could already feel somewhat stronger. It was only a small amount, but it was enough to excite him. It meant that the Chapter of Ascension w
The Wright residence, Wolsing.When Janus got out of a Rolls-Royce Cullinan, it was around midnight. He looked around carefully before quickly entering a courtyard within the residence, holding a wooden box.He walked through the corridors with full familiarity and entered a study.Emery, the Number One Young Master of Wolsing, was quietly holding a piece of gemstone, brushing it against his thumb.Janus didn't run in. Instead, he waited until Emery was done looking at the gemstone before entering. "Good evening, sir."Emery raised his head and glanced at Janus. "So? Did you get it?"Janus smiled. "Is there anything in this world you want that we can't get for you?"He carefully put the small box on the coffee table and smiled."While Harvey and that idiot Hale are all quite good," he said, "they're all pawns playing to your tune. This time, with Daichi working for us and Sky Plane suffering such a huge loss, we finally have it in our hands. If those monsters from Sky Plane kne
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
