“What I’m about to say isn’t appropriate for an occasion like this.”“That said, there are too many people involved in this incident.”“That’s why I have to bring this up now!”“Ten years ago, Lord York had a baby boy. After a whole month, the boy was brought out of Maria Hospital.”“On that same day, to ensure the boy’s safety, Lady Judd and the boy were separated into two different cars.”“It was then the accident happened!”“Lord York’s son lost his life in the accident!”“This incident had always been a thorn inside Lady Judd and Lord York’s hearts.”“They’ve been looking into the incident ever since then!”“But today, we have the culprit right here!”“Akio Yashiro, the Sword Saint of the Shindan Way!”“He had another identity before this. He was Rin, the leader of a killer organization called Misfortune!”“After Julian and I went all the way to take him down, he finally spilled the beans!”“He told us the truth of what happened, along with the Islanders’ terrifying co
Naturally, Grandma York was enraged and resented Harvey York for bringing this up at such a crucial moment for Vince York.If she had a way to suppress Marcel York, she would not even have the need to let Harvey continue on with his show.Obviously, Marcel also knew about that.“Mother, higher-ups of the Yorks of Hong Kong, there must be some sort of conclusion to the situation at this point, right?“Aren’t you all interested in what happened ten years ago?“We’ll show you everything today!“Everything will be revealed!“All of you will understand what happened!”After hearing Marcel’s words, Selena Judd took a deep breath to regain her composure before she glanced at Harvey.“No matter what you’re going to do, I’ll fully support you.”Harvey lightly nodded before exchanging looks with Selena.Then, he walked toward Akio Yashiro and spoke calmly, “If you cooperate with me today and reveal everything you know…“I’ll let you out of here after the banquet ends, just like we ag
Vince York squinted at Harvey York and exclaimed coldly, “Sir York, his words will mean nothing if you don’t let him prove himself.”Harvey seemed indifferent.“It’s really easy to do that, Young Lord York,” Akio Yashiro responded calmly.“I can’t show you any proof, but many people present here can help me with that.”Akio then shifted his gaze toward Lexie York before showing a faint smile on his face.“Fifth Lady of the Yorks, lady of the Dragon Palace, right?”Lexie’s frowned.“What do you mean?”“Everyone knows that Country H has four cornerstones, Longmen, Dragon Cell, Dragon Guards, and Dragon Palace…“Ever since Country H was founded, Dragon Palace was in charge of the foreign expedition, keeping the country away from war.“Safe to say that the Dragon Palace has the most terrifying power among the cornerstones.“That’s why. To prevent Dragon Palace from losing control, a particular character would be chosen to become the helm…“A middleman!“The current helm of Dra
A dozen Lord’s Guardians walked forward and stepped in front of the Dragon Palace elites under Marcel York’s orders.Naturally, Marcel was dead set on letting Akio Yashiro spill the beans.Akio just smiled before calmly shifting his gaze toward Cory York.“Now, let’s talk about your incident.“Thirteen years ago, you were planning to use the family’s funds to invest in an oil mine on the Dark Island, but the Americans were planning to do the same.“The family’s funds were no match to the competitors back then.“Since you were so desperate to make an achievement for yourself so you could climb the ranks quicker…“You asked Misfortune’s help!“There were no leads to the incident after that. Nobody knew why an oil tycoon from America would throw himself into the sea.“You used the opportunity to acquire the oil mine and built the Loxus Consortium! What an achievement!“There’s a saying that I agree with, the first bucket of gold from a rich man is always dirty.”“You shut your
“Are you saying that Jacknife was your master?!“And he was the one who wanted my grandson dead?!” asked Grandma York after being dead silent for a while.“Do you even have proof?!”“I do!”Akio Yashiro clapped his hands before a Dragon Palace elite handed over an old voice recorder.“Here’s a recording of him from back then. I’m sure you’ll be able to hear his voice judging from how well you know him.“Since this wasn’t a direct order from the Island Nations, I kept this with me just in case!“I didn’t want to be blamed for what happened. That’s why.”Grandma York showed a horrible look as she made a gesture. Then, the recorder was brought to her side.After playing the recording for a long while, her eyes were wide-open before she instantly crushed the recorder.Obviously, she wanted to destroy the evidence.Marcel York’s expression slightly changed, but he did not utter a single word.Harvey York looked at Grandma York with a playful look.Grandma York stumbled off her
Everyone was shocked after hearing those words!‘The Islanders assisted with Vince York’s rise?!’Along with Jacknife’s incident, the entire incident was filled with conspiracies. It was terrifying to even think about.Grandma York’s expression turned dark instantly. She must have figured it out by then, but she still would not dare to face the music.She only gave Harvey a so-called statement for him to stop pursuing the matter.But she did not expect that he would reveal everything at once without any mercy!Marcel York frowned before he squinted at Akio Yashiro.“Tell us everything, Sword Saint!“If you do, I’ll guarantee your safety!”Akio lightly chuckled.“It’s not really a big deal.”“For example, when Young Lord York had some business in the Island Nations, we were pulling the strings to make sure that he made good bargains and take full credit for it!“We were the ones who orchestrated his assassinations before letting him go scot-free. That way, his importance wou
Vince York was looking extremely glum at this moment.Cory York was also showing a horrible expression. He was glaring at Akio Yashiro with a deathly look in his eyes, as if he wanted to kill Akio himself.Lexie York was horrified. She had not expected that Vince would have such a deep connection with the Islanders.Did Vince himself know that he was being supported by them during his rise then?!Even Grandma York looked weird as she intently stared at Vince. Her persistence and support for Vince were steadily dwindling.Along with Akio’s word, a Dragon Palace elite later walked out with a few trays.Pictures, contracts, ledgers, and various documents were brought out. Everyone understood that this was solid proof without even perusing it.If not, Harvey York would never allow all this to show up here, judging from his attitude.Harvey then squinted at Vince.“Is there anything you’d like to explain, Young Lord York?”“There’s nothing to explain!”Vince was not enraged, nor
“Are you sure about that?“Everyday people don’t understand the true relationship between Country H and the Island Nations, but how can you not?“All those heinous things they did to us during the second world war will never be forgotten! History never forgets!”Vince York scoffed while showing a playful look on his face.“How naive can you get, Harvey York?!“You’re still bringing that up till today?!“That’s old news!“Let’s not even talk about its credibility!“Even if it’s real, have you not heard of a saying?“Better to reconcile than to contend!“It’s been so long already! As civilized people of Country H, why can’t you just forgive their past mistakes?!“We all belong in the same waters, after all! There’s no running away from each other!“I’m sure they’ve been investing in our country for a while now!“We’ve also been collaborating quite a bit!“So what if I work with the Islanders if I can afford to do that?“I represent the unity between Country H and the Islan
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
