Jacknife was dead!Even in death, his face showed shock, anger, and resentment.He never thought that he would end up dying to Harvey York after all those years of planning and hiding around.Manager York even gave a warning in Grandma York’s place! Surely Harvey would not do anything stupid at this moment, even if he was extremely courageous…But he did not care at all.“What a formidable enemy!”“If Harvey doesn’t die, the Island Nations will fall for sure…”A glint of light flashed in Jacknife’s eyes…Other than anger and resentment, he was also filled with worry.His head tilted to the side before dying in Manager York’s arms.The place was dead silent.Jacknife…The family’s former best expert…And the former sovereign of the Shindan Way…A God of War!A Sword Saint!He died?!Just like that?!And Harvey was the one who snapped his neck in half after painstakingly humiliating him?!Manager York and the others remained still.They did not expect that Harvey woul
“I already helped you deal with a spy from the Island Nations,” said Harvey York calmly.“It’s perfectly fine if you don’t thank me…“But, here you are nagging at me for some reason.“You really think that I wouldn’t dare kill you off?”“When did an outsider get the right to meddle in our family’s business, Harvey?!” exclaimed Manager York coldly.“Have you thought of the consequences of getting yourself involved?!“Have you?!“Kneel, or I’ll mobilize my troops just to deal with you!“And when I’m done with you, you’ll die a graveless death!”Manager York threateningly took out his phone, ready to dial a specific number.“Since when did a servant get the right to show off on behalf of the Yorks of Hong Kong?”A calm yet dignified voice could be heard.When everyone turned around, Marcel York was seen wearing a suit as he walked over from the mountain road, with his arms crossed behind him.At this moment, he did not bring anybody with him, as if he was just casually stroll
Boom!A violent aura instantly burst out as Marcel York took a step forward.Scattered rocks and sand were flying all over the place.Everyone could not help but squint.The men wearing green shirts clenched their chests as they took a step back. Blood was suddenly gushing out of their mouths without any warning.Almost simultaneously, Manager York’s legs gave in before he dropped his knees to the ground.It was not that he wanted to kneel. Marcel’s aura was just too terrifying. It felt like mountains crushing him from above. There was no way for him to hold himself up at that moment.Marcel was strong! Too strong!Jacknife was already pretty impressive himself…But the aura of the mysterious Lord York had him completely outmatched!Manager York’s face lost all color instantly when cold sweats dripped down his back.Harvey curiously glanced at Marcel.He knew that Marcel was not just any ordinary man, but he still managed to underestimate him.Safe to say that all uppercla
The afternoon after Jacknife was dealt with…Harvey York showed up at Maria Hospital.This was Hong Kong’s most renowned private hospital that was also under the Yorks of Hong Kong.Other than advanced technology and a group of skillful medical staff, the most important part was that the family’s forces were all stationed here, making it easy to manage.The Sentries of York were in charge of managing the place, and Julian York was naturally the leader.Akio Yashiro had been unconscious since he was brought to Hong Kong.Julian intentionally put Akio on the top floor and placed many of his men there. Not a single fly would be able to get inside or out of the place.As soon as Harvey stepped inside the hospital, he could clearly feel a lot of eyes glaring at him from all directions.The gazes were filled with unspeakable hostility and resentment.Without even figuring out the people glaring at him, he could distinctly tell that those were the assassins from the Island Nations.
“You must be kidding, Sir York.“We don’t even know who Akio Yashiro’s master is.“Even if we do, since he’s the previous sovereign, surely he’s a God of War and also a Sword Saint, to say the least, right?“How did you even manage to get a hold of a person like that in just a single day?“You weren’t even outside of Hong Kong! You didn’t leave at all!”“I didn’t look for him. He came for me, so I took care of him.“You also know him.“He’s Jacknife, the man who hid behind Grandma York for many years now.”Julian York froze after hearing that name before he showed utter disbelief.Jacknife was one of Grandma York’s most trusted subordinates. He had dealt with countless people who defied Grandma York publicly and secretly.He was also one of Vince York’s most loyal supporters and was the main source of power for his troops.But, he was also the former sovereign of the Shindan Way…Even Julian, who had a pretty open mind, could not believe what he had just heard.“Why would
Harvey York chuckled and replied calmly, “Firstly, we have to make sure that you have no way out.“You’ll only speak when you know it’s best for you anyway.”Akio Yashiro’s pupils shrunk after hearing Harvey’s words.“I don’t understand what you mean by that,” he said before showing a faint smile.“It’s nothing, really.”Harvey smiled back.“I think I should tell you something, though.“I killed a person today.“His name’s Jacknife.”Akio furiously sat up after hearing that name.But because of his restraints, his body was thrown back to his bed.After being in shock for a moment, Akio sighed.“I wouldn’t believe it if anyone else were to tell me that.“But since it’s you, I do believe you.“How did my master expose himself?”“He used his Zephyr Slash after realizing he couldn’t beat me,” replied Harvey calmly.Akio bitterly chuckled.“Master hid himself within the Yorks of Hong Kong for twenty years, honing his skills to hide his Shindan Way roots…“But in the end, i
A stern gaze was showing in Harvey York’s eyes.“Were you the one who established the organization?”“Yes, and no.”Akio Yashiro recollected his memories slowly.“Misfortune was established during the Island Nations’ Great Recession.“The higher-ups started a war and tried to benefit from Country H’s battlefield.“But, the times were different then. Country H had risen exponentially. The country wasn’t as flourishing as it is now, but it also wasn’t a country that the Island Nations could just take advantage of.“The higher-ups decided to deal with some of Country H’s top people if they wanted to use force against Country H.“From the royal court, the business industry, wealthy families, and scientific communities…“Simply put, every single outstanding person in those fields was our target.“The establishment of Misfortune was to deal with those people through ‘accidents’, ruining Country H’s political and economic status in the process.“The members of the organization cons
“Of course, I didn’t do too much preparation for a newborn baby. A simple car accident was all I needed.“The plan was a success. The baby died just like that.“This still haunts me to this very day.“I don’t have much integrity, but killing an infant crossed my line.“From that day onward, I disbanded Misfortune and started using my old name again.”“Did your master tell you why he decided to do that?” asked Harvey York.“He did.”Akio Yashiro revealed a groundbreaking statement.“He wanted this to happen.“That way, the head house would be the scapegoats of the incident. The family would be in utter chaos.”Harvey froze. He was almost sure that the head house was the one behind the entire incident.The people who would benefit the most from the death of Marcel York’s son was none other than Vince York, the young lord who belonged in the head house.But Akio revealed that Jacknife was the one who asked for the assassination himself…“Do you have any proof?” asked Harvey a
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
