“What do you mean by that?” Akio Yashiro asked calmly.“If you really are as good as your servants say you are, there wouldn’t be a need for you to blow up a cab and get so many gunners to deal with me.“What you should’ve done is to come at me with a sword and cut me down.“But you didn’t.“All of these tricks only mean one thing.“You’re scared!“You’re scared that you’re no match for me!“You’re afraid of being slapped to death!“You’re terrified of ending up the same way as Miyata Shinosuke!”Harvey York squinted while showing a warm smile.“All that preparation is showing your doubt toward your skills!“Another thing. You showed up in Hong Kong so quickly to kill me right after Vince York and I fought?“You wouldn’t be here that quickly even if you literally rode a rocket ship!“The only explanation for this is that you were already here when Miyata arrived.“But you fear me. That’s why you never intended to take action against me from the beginning.“You even plann
“Looks like I have no choice but to take action myself.”Akio Yashiro let out a sigh before showing a cold gaze.He then picked up his cup of tea and said, “Let’s have a toast with tea. Here’s to you being as ignorant as ever.”Harvey York then poured himself a cup of tea.“Here’s to you being oblivious about my true power,” replied Harvey.Murderous intent could be felt exuding from both of them when their eyes locked. After raising their cups slightly, they gulped their tea down in a single go.After seeing Harvey drinking the tea without any hesitation, a playful look was showing on Akio’s face.“You’re brave enough to drink my tea as soon as you come in…“Are you not scared of me poisoning it?”“Didn’t you do that already?” Harvey replied.“You’re only waiting for it to take effect. That’s why you’ve been nagging me this entire time.“It’s a shame that I must disappoint you, Sword Saint.”Harvey fought on the battlefield before. Naturally, he came across all sorts of po
“Your so-called Emperor rules under theocracy, but since ancient times, that title is nothing but that. They’re all just puppets being pulled around the place.“The country’s authority had always been under the Shogunate, the government of the Island Nations.“The puppet is only used to fool the so-called warriors such as yourselves.“Am I right?”Harvey York casually pointed out the most disturbing fact about the Island Nation warriors.The sovereign they serve under already fell out of power many years ago.A hint of anger flashed before Akio Yashiro’s eyes, but he calmed himself down soon after.“Don’t think that you fully understand the history of the Island Nations just because you read a few history books!“The mighty Emperor’s status, power, and glory are beyond what you can even imagine!“Since you dare insult His Majesty, we will end your life right here!“Die!”With Akio’s scream, the eight swordsmen instantly pounced forward.From eight different directions, the
The Islanders greatly admired the culture of Country H…Especially the fact that they would constantly strategize before making the necessary moves.In the Islanders’ eyes, if they wanted the Island Nations to become the greatest, they would have to deal with Country H first.If they could occupy parts of the country, the Island Nations would have a chance to rise again.Harvey York kept ruining their plans in Mordu and Hong Kong…This was the main reason why people like Miyata Shinosuke and Akio Yashiro showed up to deal with him permanently.They were scared of a second Chief Instructor to be born in Country H.Two legendary beings would end up crushing the people of the Island Nations.While Harvey was pondering the situation, the Sons of Raiden took their steps forward at the same time while showing serious looks on their faces.They took steady steps, circling Harvey as if thunder was surging around him.Akio squinted at Harvey.“The Heaven and Earth!” he coldly exclaim
“B*stard!”After seeing Harvey York remain unscathed, the four swordsmen simultaneously pounced forward once again.Harvey casually plucked a shuriken from the ground and flicked it forward. A stream of light surged forward like a bright moon on the sea.Akio Yashiro changed his expression in an instant after seeing the attack.“Gates of Immunity!” he screamed.The swordsmen retreated with their swords in hand before stacking them with each other, guarding the incoming attack flying straight toward them.Their synergy was completely flawless. It was basically impenetrable.Akio’s masterful teachings were quite evident, judging from his students’ performance.Tink tink tink!A barrage of red sparks could be seen as soon as Harvey’s shuriken collided with the longswords…But there was impossible for him to penetrate the defenses of those four swordsmen at this moment.At the same time, the four injured swordsmen immediately swallowed pills that were giving out a heinous stench
A prideful smirk graced Lexie’s arrogant face.She didn’t even want to blink once as she blatantly ridiculed Harvey.In fact, she was afraid to miss out on the moment he got cut down.Akio grinned, delighted, and boasted, “Madam York, don’t forget you and Young Lord York’s promise to me when I kill this clown!”“Enough talk! As long as you deal with him, that diplomatic status is all yours!”“You can do whatever you please in Hong Kong after that.”“With my and Vince’s help, nobody can hold anything against you even if you break the law!”“Now, shut up and stop bothering me from enjoying the show!”Akio smiled, silent. He loved working with people who could sell out their own country for their own sake the most.At the same time, the Sons of Raiden’s strikes had Harvey completely encapsulated.The glares were locked right onto Harvey. He had no chance to dodge anywhere.Yet in the face of this terrifying attack, Harvey only let out a calm chuckle.“You’re pretty impressive
Akio hung up his call with Lexie, his face scrunched in confusion.“Strength like this is almost on par with mine!”“You’re so close to being a peak God of War!”“If that’s not the case, how did you manage to defeat my Sons of Raiden that easily?”Akio sighed, shaking his head.“You’re unpredictable, Harvey. You’re already this powerful even at such a young age! You must be really talented.”“Why don’t you show yourself to the world, then?!”“You’re making it harder for people like us if you keep yourself hidden!”“If we don’t prepare enough, who are we supposed to complain to if we get beaten up by you?!”Akio then flashed Harvey a confident smirk.“Thank goodness I’ve been secluded for so many years in order to study the way to unite man and nature. My swordsmanship has increased exponentially because of that.”“If not, I might not even be a match for you right now!”“It’s a shame, but Country H will definitely lose a God of War this time!”Akio shook his head, feigning
Even though Akio was the Sword Saint of the Shindan Way, The Island Nation God of War, the Imperial Physician, and the master of the unity of man and nature…He was well aware of his own limits.He knew exactly when to give in to the circumstances.He prepared for a lot of plans, and even got his very own disciples, the Sons of Raiden, here.Despite that, they were all sent flying with just a single slap…Under these terrible prospects, Akio would never go against Harvey unless he was truly fearless.That was why, after “righteously” slapping his subordinate across the face and sending the latter flying into the sea, Akio escaped without any hesitation.He was extremely experienced in running away as well. Even though he was in the sea, it didn’t slow him down one bit. In just a blink of an eye, he was already nearing the shore.Harvey then took in the remaining Islanders on the yacht with a calm gaze.All of them were slack with shock and fear, looking as if their beliefs had
"While Country H is said to have existed for so many years, the people can be quite narrow-minded. They'll act all arrogant because they have a bit of talent. Not only that, but they also refuse to accept the rest of the civilized world. There's no need to get angry with these people," Juliana said to Hawk's men, her tone filled with concern."All of them say they love their country, but the truth is that they'll leave for greener pastures as soon as opportunities present themselves. Despite agreeing with your values, I'm still part of this country. I wish I could really be part of you!" Juliana said, envy and disappointment on her face.Hawk and the others smiled when they saw Juliana's attitude. If most of the people from Country H acted like this, their cultural victory would be assured. At this point, all of them smiled widely and abandoned whatever upset feelings they had from just now.-About ten minutes later, Harvey took Alexei back to the Dragon Gate Training Hall. Va
When Juliana and the others saw Harvey and Alexei leave, all of them could only grit their teeth in anger despite being genuinely surprised. They didn't expect Harvey's call to be enough to remove Hawk's status as a Knight Templar with one call. His quick action had humiliated Hawk and his men.Normally speaking, they would never believe that Harvey would be able to do such a thing. They didn't expect that reality could be so cruel to the point that it was choking them. Harvey was so influential that they found themselves struggling to breathe."Calm down, Hawk. Don't feel down. I don't think that what happened is real," Juliana said as she subconsciously consoled Hawk. "His reputation is built on boasts. He doesn't understand just how powerful your culture is! There's no way he can affect the powerful Knights Templar."I suspect he's working with someone else and got a fake number, so that he could intimidate and trick you! In other words, you can't let this confuse you! Even i
Harvey narrowed his eyes and said calmly to Hawk, "If you're really that powerful, you won't be wearing that expression when you see me."The so-called top from their side would not only treat him with respect, but they would also get the hell out of there as fast as possible.However, Hawk didn't understand what Harvey was trying to convey. He smiled coldly and said, "You don't understand what the Knight Templars mean, do you? Before this name, even dragons and beasts must fall! And when it comes to someone like you… The moment I showed you my identity, you won't even have the privilege to bend your knee!"Harvey refuted calmly, "If you're really that influential, won't it humiliate you completely if I can make you bend your knee with one call?"Hawk's expression turned brutal. "Oh? You're going to make a move? Come on, then! Show me just how good you really are!"Harvey nodded and pulled out his phone as he looked at Hawk. "Since you asked for it, I guess I have no choice but
Harvey scoffed. He couldn't be bothered by wasting his breath speaking to someone like Juliana, who obviously had been hit on the head. Instead, he turned to Alexei. "I'm leaving now. You either leave with me, or you can stay here and be a simp. But remember—if you stay as her simp, don't appear in front of me again. A man who has no pride and a backbone doesn't have the right to stand in front of me."Hearing that, there was a hint of hesitation on Alexei's face.When Juliana saw that Harvey didn't agree to her demand and even changed the subject, she smiled coldly. "If you have a death wish, then I'll grant it to you. I won't pull my punches from here on out. And you, Alexei. You can try and leave with him… As long as you can bear the consequences of that!"Alexei's expression was filled with even more hesitation. In the end, he gritted his teeth and left together with Harvey.Juliana's smile turned icy when she saw what had happened. "Good, Alexei! You'll regret this! From n
"I'm sorry! It's all my fault! My entire fault! I shouldn't have forced you!" Alexei said, lowering his head dejectedly. Seeing this, Juliana walked over and extended her hand, raising Alexei's chin. She said coldly, "It's good that you know you're making a mistake. Now, Hawk and I will need to get some rest at the hotel. We'll also be going to a charity ball later. Since we're very busy, we don't have the time to pay for our meal. Remember to pay for it and our presidential suite as well. Understand?"While Juliana looked down at Alexei, she didn't mind making Alexei pay for everything. From her perspective, it was a matter of course.When Alexei heard it, he still nodded despite the dark expression on his face.He wanted to take his wallet out, but Harvey quickly stopped Alexei and took his wallet instead. "If you have the money for a woman, why don't you come with me and eat something at the nearby stall? Don't waste your life and time on a woman like this."Harvey dragged A
After Alexei heard what Harvey had to say, his expression was filled with hesitation. It was obvious that he did have feelings for Juliana. However, there was also fear. He didn't know what he should do.He was afraid that Juliana might really abandon him. At the same time, he was really afraid that Juliana was cheating. Alexei felt like he was stuck between a rock and a hard place."Alexei? Why are you here?" At this time, a cold and arrogant voice could be heard. "Are you here to ambush me? So that you can annoy me?"Harvey instinctively turned around and saw Juliana and Hawk walking out from the restaurant hand-in-hand like a wealthy couple. Behind them were their secretaries, lawyers, and bodyguards. They looked like important people; on the other hand, Alexei looked like a beggar by the street.Alexei quickly ran over, forcing himself to smile despite being upset. "I heard you're back, Juliana, so I came over to pick you up. You must be tired now. I've arranged for a pre
"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
