“Don’t cross the line, Louis Castro!”Leslie Clarke frowned, seeing the sight.“We’re all from the same circle here! Why are you pulling your gun out for?!“Are you trying to cause a commotion here?!”Edwin Mendoza showed an expression as cold as ice.“Are you braindead?! Are you pointing your gun toward me?!”“Pull the trigger then!“If you don’t, I’ll make sure that you’ll sleep six feet under!”No matter the case, Edwin was still a King of Arms who was brought up by the Sword Camp.Even though Louis was a little well-known in the Dark Island, Edwin still was not as intimidated as the others.He would have instantly forced his hand if it were not for the peace talk that day.The only subordinate following Edwin instinctively took action, but the dark-skinned men close by all pulled out their firearms before pointing them right toward the group.Naturally, those people were all mercenaries that Louis brought from the Dark Island. All of them lived their lives on the edge.
Louis glared at Edwin, who was suffering in silence, before letting out a disdainful chuckle. Arrogance was written all over his face. He narrowed his eyes and hissed,“Alright, Edwin. Since you can’t be all high and mighty anymore, let me ask you again…”“Are you kneeling or not?!”Leslie’s face turned icy. “Don’t you dare cross the line, Louis!” she growled, livid. “Cross the line?”Louis sized up Leslie with a scornful look.“Do you think I don’t have the guts to hurt you just because your father’s the first-in-command for Hong Kong?”“Try to stop me, and I’ll come for you right after I’m finished with him!”Louis gave her face a threatening pinch, his gaze on her filled with utter disdain.Then, he shifted his attention back to Edwin.“I’ll count to three. Kneel, and I’ll give you a chance to talk with Kaitlyn,” he warned grimly. “And if you don’t, I’ll just kill you right here.”“Of course, you can try to resist. But if you do, I’ll kill every single one of you!”
“Besides, Young Master Mendoza’s sister has control over Hong Kong’s Dragon Palace right now.”“They are renowned in both Hong Kong and Las Vegas, with a powerful status! Have you actually considered the consequences for offending him?!”“Even if you’re not scared, Yoana will bring her men here immediately if you kill him now. What would happen if the reputation of my Emerald Club got sullied because of your actions?”Kaitlyn’s face was filled with bitterness. “Young Master Mendoza’s here to apologize, anyway. He’s here to make peace! How is he supposed to show his sincerity after you make him kneel with your gun?”Though Kaitlyn’s voice had a sweet and gentle quality to it, the tone she spoke in was cold and distant.Everything that had happened the day before had been burned deep in her heart. She could recall every instance with vivid clarity.Since Edwin was Harvey’s subordinate, Kaitlyn didn’t mind crushing him.Of course, she also wanted to know what tricks Edwin had up
“Make peace?!”“Ha! Do you think you have the right for that?!”Louis cut in the conversation and threw a dirty glare at Edwin. Contempt was written all over his face as he looked at Edwin with hate. Then, he took out a grenade and placed it on the table.“I’ll accept the offer for Kaitlyn if you can swallow this whole!”Harvey’s eyes twitched slightly when he saw that Louis had several more grenades strapped on his waist.As expected of the man who had returned from the Dark Island. He could even bring such things with him…Wasn’t he afraid of killing himself along with everyone around him if he happened to set off one of the grenades by accident?Everyone else seemed to realize the same thing as Harvey, and their faces changed slightly.There were a few beautiful women whose faces went pale at the realization. Yet at the same time, their gazes turned rather flirtatious. Men with destructive weapons scare them, but for some reason, they could feel charm radiating from Louis.
A crisp sound rang in the air as Edwin took the slap right on the face.A red palm print appeared on his cheek, gleaming viciously. The wretched sight was a humiliating one, indeed.“Kaitlyn!” Edwin growled, having lost all his patience.The moment his voice came out, the Parson family’s bodyguards charged forward.They pointed their firearms at Edwin’s head.If Edwin were to make any sudden moves, they wouldn’t hesitate to pull the trigger.Harvey and Leslie exited the crowd as well.“You think you can just call my name as you please?”“You think you have the right for that?” Kaitlyn demanded, her tone disdainful.“The Mendoza family is just a first-rated family! You think you’re some hotshot here just because your sister has control over the Dragon Palace’s branch, don’t you?”“Did you forget that you only got this far thanks to the Hamilton family?”“You cling onto the Hamilton family, then you get close to Harvey…”“Does your family even have dignity?”“Let me tell you
Edwin’s eyes were twitching as he looked at Kaitlyn’s smug face. His right hand was trembling, but in the end, he never swung it.Or rather, he forced himself back with all his might.Slap!When Kaitlyn saw that Edwin was remaining still, she slapped him on the other side of his face.“Filth! You’re all bark and no show! You look impressive, but you can’t even do anything!”“You won’t even fight back after getting hit by a woman!”“Do you have no shame?!”“Do you?!”Edwin was completely humiliated by Kaitlyn.‘Even when he’s one of the young masters of Las Vegas, he wouldn’t even fight back against me!’‘How useless can he be?!’‘At this point, he should just die!’Edwin covered his face, blood beginning to seep out of his lips. He looked utterly miserable, presenting an extremely horrible sight.The people watching burst out laughing and clinked their glasses in amusement as they delighted in the show. Some were even filming the entire thing with their phones.A young ma
“Besides, that’s the Johnson family’s share. Not yours! You don’t even have the right to decide for them!”“Or are you saying that your master’s already too scared to come at us? Is that why he’s okay with such humiliating terms?”Kaitlyn glared coldly at Edwin. Clearly, she wanted to see how he would react so she could proceed with her plan accordingly.Yet, Edwin remained composed.“Enough nonsense, Ms. Parson. I’ll ask you again: are you willing to accept the conditions or not?”Kaitlyn got closer and sized up Edwin, before approaching him to whisper in his ear.“Of course I’m willing to accept such good terms. But what a shame! I didn’t take Ms. Johnson away!”“Even if I did… Since your master’s making such great efforts to save her, wouldn’t it be more fun if I just keep her here and watch the Johnson family part ways with him?”“Your master thinks he can cause such a big commotion in Hong Kong and Las Vegas just because he’s a little smart and talented?”“He’s being naiv
“So what if I am?”“So what if I want to disrespect you?”Kaitlyn strode back to her couch calmly before sinking in it, crossing her legs haughtily.A faint smile hung on her lips as she looked at Edwin with a glare filled with contempt. “Are you about to lash out after trying so hard to swallow all that humiliation?”“Or are you going to hit me now?”“Go on! Try it!”“I’d love to see how you’ll do it!”“You…”Edwin was about to take a step forward when orderly footsteps could be heard from behind.Several uniformed people, armed to the teeth, surrounded the entire courtyard.Yoana, who was dressed in the same uniform, emerged out of the crowd with grand steps.“You dare touch someone from my family, Kaitlyn? Have you asked yourself this?”“Can you bear the consequences for doing such a thing?!”Yoana’s expression worsened when she got a glimpse of her brother’s swollen face and tattered clothes.“Oh mt! Isn’t this the lady of the Mendoza family, Helm Yoana Mendoza hers
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
