Marcel froze at Queenie’s words.“Are you saying that Harvey might be stronger than Jacknife?” he asked, his voice low.“You forget. He killed the Sword Saint of the Shinkage Way himself. Akio was scared by him as well.”“If he’s not strong, how did he manage to do all that by himself?”Marcel pondered about the situation before laughing.“It’s good if that’s the case!”“If he’s as strong as you say he is and brings Rin back after dealing with the Shindan Way…”“It’ll be good for all of us involved.”“Your grandmother’s a powerful person, but she’s just too confident.”“Even after all these years have passed, she still thinks that she can suppress the entire family with Jacknife alone…”“We’ll let her know that the times have changed…”…Three hours later, at four o’clock in the morning. On a lonely island outside of the Island Nations…This place was located on the southeast coast of the island. It had been private territory since ancient times.Buildings that stood abov
Julian had a cold expression as he stood in front of his men.Right in front of him, one man stood still while crossing his arms and an unflinching poker face.The man was Harvey.Julian’s eyes flashed fearfully at the sight of Harvey’s face.After all, this was the man who banished him straight to Hell.If Marcel didn’t give the Sentries of York another chance, Julian probably wouldn’t get another opportunity to lead his troops again.This was Julian’s chance to rise again.If he accomplished the mission successfully, he believed he would have the right to take position as the lord of the family…Even though the current situation had nothing to do with it.Turning away from Harvey, Julian then set his gaze on the buildings not far away from him.The buildings were extremely close to Harvey and the rest of the sentries; they were less than a mile away.Since Harvey and the others climbed from the back of the mountain, the outer walls were completely useless against them.Ev
If that wasn’t the case, why would Julian even accept this mission under such circumstances?Even so, he still wasn’t able to tell why Harvey came here.He narrowed his eyes at Harvey for a moment before saying quietly, “To be honest with you, Sir York…”“You’re deeply connected to the Yorks of Hong Kong, and you’re even considered to be a relative.”“But what does the family’s inner conflict have anything to do with you?”“Why are you getting yourself involved?”“Are you trying to climb ranks within the family just like everyone’s saying?”“Climb the ranks?”Harvey laughed.“That throne you people yearn for means nothing to me.”“I don’t really care if you believe me or not.”“I got involved only because this affair might affect the safety of Country H’s people as a whole.”“As long as the person sitting at the top can guarantee the country’s safety…”“I don’t care if it’s Vince, Queenie, or you doing it.”“You might not understand the things I’m saying right now…”“But
Pffft, pffft, pffft!Muffled sounds could be occasionally heard in the buildings.The elites of the Shindan Way who realized that something was wrong were instantly killed the moment they snapped back to their senses.The Shindan Way had no way to prevent this, since the Yorks of Hong Kong didn’t even prepare for such a mission in the first place.After dealing with the people outside, Harvey and the others were already walking toward the center of the island where the ancient buildings were gathered.An ancient stone tablet with texts of the Island Nations was located right ahead.Two swordsmen sitting cross-legged in front of the tablet were suddenly woken up.“Who are you?!”“What’s the password?!”The two fierce swordsmen stood up instinctively, their faces fierce.Before they could even react, Harvey had already taken a step forward and swung his palm.A loud slap could be heard, and the swordsmen were instantly sent flying. When they landed back on the ground again, th
“Is Akio here?” Harvey asked, his tone calm.“If he is, get his *ss out of here right now.”“How dare you call out the master’s name as you please?!”The robed man’s face changed once he took a good look at Harvey.“You’re Harvey York?!”“Go! Kill him now!”The man gave an order immediately upon recognizing Harvey.A shame it was just too late.Harvey shook his body slightly before pouncing forward.Eight Kings of Arms wailed in pain; they weren’t even able to pull their swords out before they were sent flying. Their orifices were bleeding profusely when they landed on the ground again, all composure lost.The robed man’s expression changed into horror. He tried to get away, but he was just too slow.Harvey appeared right in front of him, and swung the back of his palm across his face.The sound of a loud clap rang, and the man slammed right into the ground before losing consciousness in an instant.Julian’s face was grim upon seeing what had happened. Before he could say
“Enough tricks!”Harvey bellowed, narrowing his eyes.He grabbed Julian’s firearm, took off the safety, and then pulled the trigger on the enemies’ heads.Bang, bang, bang!Bullets flew all over the place. Then a ninja appeared on the ceiling, looking bewildered. There was a red dot on his forehead when he slammed onto the ground.As blood spilled all over the place, Harvey swiftly pulled the trigger behind him.Another ninja who was trying to sneak up on him fell flat to the ground.Before the rest of the ninjas could even react, Harvey kept pulling the trigger without pause, killing every single ninja coming his way.Bang!The ninjas looked at him with faces of shock and disbelief before getting gunned down.All of them were instantly killed without Harvey even breaking a sweat.Harvey casually handed over the firearm back to Julian before taking a step forward.Bang!An extremely extravagant-looking gate inside the temple was sent flying with a single kick.Swish!The
Harvey could clearly feel a cold chill swerving in his vision.The slash was filled with murderous intent, as if a demon from Hell was the one dealing the blow.The Sword Saint of the Shindan Way wasn’t a title just for show. Akio truly did possess the strength of a God of War.In just a single moment, the slash was already heading right toward Harvey.Harvey flicked his finger while instinctively moving backwards.Clang!A loud sound echoed throughout the place when both sides clashed. Waves of air surged forward, pushing Harvey a few steps back.Even though Harvey wasn’t underestimating Akio at all, he never expected Akio’s strength to be a lot fiercer compared to before.Akio must’ve trained himself even harder after his previous defeat.He must have reached greater heights.Without hesitating, Harvey picked up a sword from the ground and shook his head.“You trained hard, Akio, but that doesn’t mean anything to me.”“Even a peak God of War wouldn’t be able to do much ag
“You talk too much. Experts wouldn’t run their mouths.”Harvey took a step forward and swung his sword in an instant.His swing was lightning fast, giving Akio no time at all to even react.Harvey’s swordsmanship was a lot different compared to Akio. His attacks were swift and deadly.The next moment, Akio could feel the slash.Akio, who was extremely confident before, grew panicked. He could tell just how much power was contained within Harvey’s attacks.Cold sweat dripped down Akio’s body and he let out a furious howl, and forced himself to pull his blade and block Harvey’s attack.Clang!Harvey’s sword pierced right through like a bright light.A huge blast surged toward Akio; he had no chance protecting himself against a seemingly predictable attack.He never thought that Harvey’s simple slash would be so spectacularly deadly.Akio was shocked. He quickly realized Harvey’s show of strength back in Hong Kong was just the tip of the iceberg.Harvey was so close to uniting
"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
