As soon as everyone knelt, Kayden forced a smile and said, “Master! You can punish my subordinates however you like for their ignorance!”At the sight of his obedience, the crowd was at a complete loss.Not only did the head of the Hatchet Gang kneel, but he also didn’t even try to save his own dignity.Riley was utterly shocked.In her mind, Kayden was one of the few scariest people in Flutwell!Ordinary people who try to go against him would die without even knowing why!And yet, here he was, kneeling in front of Harvey!He knelt in an instant!Wasn’t Harvey just a live-in son-in-law?What right did he have to make Kayden kneel?Because of the day’s conflict, Riley thought both Harvey and Xynthia had their fates sealed, and that they were going to die without a burial spot…She never expected that Kayden would be the one to kneel instead.She couldn’t believe everything she was seeing.Only Xynthia looked completely calm. She knew everything would be solved if her brothe
Having experienced so much in the past few days, Xynthia understood that her troubles were too easy for Harvey to deal with.Harvey smiled.“Mordu and Buckwood have laws.”“But… This place is just too special.”“There are laws here, but because of the place’s history, everyone thinks that power means everything.”“Since that’s the case, we’ll show our power.”“If not, we wouldn’t even be able to find a place to stay, let alone save your sister and mother.”“Right. Tell me what happened.”“Didn’t you come to visit Flutwell’s gold mine? How did your mother and sister get tricked into jail?”At Harvey’s questioning, Xynthia sat down and poured herself a cup of tea before she tried to recall the situation.“I remember now! Someone must’ve planned for all this.”“After the thirteenth young master of the Bauer family came to Mordu, he kept trying to court Big Sister. He gave a lot of luxurious stuff to Mother as well. She was completely dazed by all those gifts!”“Then, he invite
“Mother and Sister are being framed, Brother-In-Law!”“You need to save them!”Xynthia let out a huge sigh, worry coloring her face.Both Lilian and Mandy were born from luxury.They couldn’t possibly stand a life behind bars!Harvey tapped Xynthia’s shoulders and replied calmly, “We need to be patient.”“Someone’s clearly targeting us. This is too dangerous.”“Since that’s the case, we can’t afford to be reckless.”“I told Kayden to show up with his forces. Let’s see if we can get Lilian and Mandy out that way.”Xynthia froze.“The Hatchet Gang’s one of the Gang of Six, but they’re nothing to the Golden Palace and the Bauer family, right?”“Can we even use Kayden?”“We won’t know unless we try,” Harvey calmly replied.“On one hand, we’ll be able to test his abilities.”“On the other hand, we can see just how deep the waters here are.”Xynthia let out a sigh of relief after knowing Harvey’s arrangements.After pondering over the situation, she said quietly, “Brother-In-
“Don’t worry. With me here, Flutwell will be yours sooner or later,” Harvey said calmly.“But before that, I’d have to see your worth first, wouldn’t I?”“I can bring up anyone I want, but I can’t just choose some useless filth to support, right?”Kayden trembled after hearing Harvey’s words.He had seen Harvey’s true power. If this man was willing to bring Kayden up…Maybe the Hatchet Gang would become the head of the Gang of Six.Kayden was immediately exhilarated.“Right. Since the second-in-command isn’t here yet…”“Why don’t you tell me who that person is instead?”Harvey signaled Rachel to refill the pot of tea and then casually leaned into his chair.Seeing that Harvey wasn’t angry, Kayden replied respectfully, “His name is Logan Bowie, Sir York.”“Bowie? Is he a distant relative of the Bauer family?” Harvey asked, his interest was piqued.“That’s right. He’s Dylan’s uncle.”“The Bowie family isn’t considered a top-rated family, but because of their relationship wit
“The Bauer family?”Harvey chuckled. He didn’t expect that someone from the Bauer family would get themselves in a situation like this publicly.“Where are they now?” Kayden asked instinctively.“In front of the door. Director Bowie looks a little angry, and he’s saying that you’re being too disrespectful to not welcome him outside.”“The other person from the Bauer family seems a little mad as well…”Kayden frowned.“Sir York. If my guess is correct, the person here right now must be Elder Mac Bauer,” Kayden said quietly.“He’s a well-known person on Joseph’s side.”“He has a very good relationship with many of Flutwell’s government officials, too.” “This time, he came here under the request of the thirteenth young master.”“It’s going to be a lot more troublesome than we first imagined.”Harvey raised his cup and said calmly, “I don’t care who they are. I won’t give them any respect if they decide to show off in front of me.”“Tell them to come inside.”“They don’t des
“You b*stard!”“Who the hell are you?!”“How dare you talk to Elder Bauer like that when you’re this damn young?”“Who gave you the courage?!”The woman glared coldly at Harvey after hearing his insulting remarks at Mac.“Do you have a death wish?!”The others glared furiously at Harvey and Kayden as well.A fight was about to break out at any moment.“Don’t be rude, Lydia!”Mac squinted at Harvey before he froze.Seeing that Harvey remained seated and Kayden respectfully accompanying him on the side, Mac started looking at Harvey in a different light.At the same time, he understood that this was the man who wanted to see Logan.After reprimanding Lydia, Mac squinted at Harvey.“I don’t know where you came from…”“But somehow, you managed to make the head of the Hatchet Gang work for you.”“You must be pretty impressive!”“Are you too strong? Or did Kayden grow more and more useless by the years and managed to get himself beaten?”After hearing that Harvey was Kayden’
“Elder Bauer, Director Bowie. Please calm down…”Kayden’s eyes were twitching frantically when he saw that the meeting was on the verge of collapse.After being in the underworld for so long, this was his first time seeing things unfold in such a way.“Please! Show some respect!” he exclaimed with a pleading look on his face.“Focus on the big picture!”Bam!“Respect?!”“You dare talk to me about respect?!”Mac stood up and slapped Kayden on the face.Kayden’s face immediately became swollen. A hint of rage flashed in Kayden’s eyes, but he could only swallow it down when he recalled Mac’s identity.After all, the thirteenth young master and the Bauer family were supporting Mac. No matter how powerful Kayden was, he was no match for them.He forced his anger down and showed a warm smile instead.“Elder Bauer, Director Bowie. You two came this far to talk, right?”“You wouldn’t come here just to fight!”“We’ll all look terrible if word about this spreads!”“Please. Let’s
“Do you want me to be the state witness?A faint smile was written on Harvey York’s face.“You’re deeply mistaken, Director Bowie.“I won’t do such a thing.“But, I’ll definitely bail them.“I’m giving you one hour.Harvey raised his hand to look at his Rolex watch with a calm look on his face.“If I don’t see them after that…“Then, I’ll make this contract a reality.”Harvey clapped his hands soon after.Rachel Hardy brought out a few pictures of a contract and slammed it in front of Logan Bowie and the others.Logan’s face instantly darkened after seeing the pictures.This was the same contract Lilian Yates had brought with her.But this should have been with the police. How did someone manage to sneak out pictures like this?Without hesitation, Logan coldly glared at Kayden Balmer.Only he was capable enough to do something like this on Harvey’s side.After all, he was the head of the Hatchet Gang. It would be as easy as pie for him just to get a few dirty cops to ta
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
