“Harvey!”Ozzy’s expression changed in an instant; he became both angry and fearful, but he could only grit his teeth since he didn’t want to bow his head for a nobody.He was completely caught off guard by Harvey, who came in and stirred all this chaos without a single warning.He knew full well he would end up horribly if he went against Harvey at this very moment.Even so, he couldn’t just slip out of the place.If he did, Joseph would kill him!Ozzy took a deep breath and exclaimed coldly, “You’re bold, Harvey!”“You didn’t leave after offending the thirteenth young master…”“And now, you’re here causing trouble in Hearthstone Corporation?!”“So what if you have seventy percent of the company’s shares?”“Let me tell you something! This isn’t Mordu, and this isn’t Buckwood either!”“We’re in Flutwell right now!”“The high and mighty Flutwell!”“The waters here run deep. You can’t just do whatever you want here!”“Let me warn you! You better hand the shares and your pos
Ozzy waved his hand arrogantly to get the higher-ups and shareholders out of the room.“Hold it,” Harvey said.Ozzy changed his expression and hollered angrily, “What else do you want?”“Kneel and apologize,” Harvey replied.“You don’t have to do it, but if you don’t, I’ll break every single one of your limbs and feed you to the dogs.”Since Ozzy had to threaten Harvey before he left, it was only natural for Harvey to teach Ozzy a lesson, in case he didn’t know who was calling the shots.Ozzy was infuriated; he glared at Harvey furiously. But at the thought of going against Harvey, he managed to reel in his anger. After a whole minute, he let out a forced smile and slammed his knees to the ground.“I’m sorry, Sir York. I was wrong!”“Please! Pretend this never happened!”He even slapped himself on the face a few times before standing back up and leaving immediately after.Yet at that very moment, he was already formulating a plan to exact his revenge!He wanted Harvey dead
While Rachel was still handling the affairs involving Hearthstone Corporation, Harvey was sitting in the CEO’s office drinking tea as he planned his next step.Mandy’s problems would be dealt with soon, so there was no need to worry about that.Harvey would need to pay close attention to Joseph, though.After all, the thirteenth young master was said to be one of three successors of the Bauer family. Harvey couldn’t underestimate such a man.Harvey turned on the TV to catch up on Flutwell’s news while he pondered the current situation.He remained nonchalant until he saw the first news.“At nine o’clock in the evening, the Longmen’s Law Enforcement will be hosting a private martial arts tournament…”“It’s said that the current head of Longmen’s Law Enforcement hasn’t shown himself just yet, and the vice head, Ezra, was badly injured recently.”“Thus, the elders of Longmen’s Law Enforcement decided to pick a new head through the tournament.”“Many disciples are ecstatic to take
Harvey pulled out his phone and turned on the news app.The headline was naturally the same as the one shown on TV.Rachel gasped; she didn’t expect Joseph would think that far ahead about the private martial arts tournament.“You’ve never met Joseph, have you?”“Why is he going so far to deal with you?”Harvey took a sip of his Black Tea.“He’s quite the sinister man.”“I’ve been on his kill list as soon as I became the head of Longmen’s Law Enforcement…”“The thirteenth young master’s trying to use this chance to force himself on the throne.”“And my existence is an obstacle to his goal.”“Me ruining his future is almost as bad as murdering his entire family.”“It’s only natural for him to go against me.”Rachel frowned.“If that’s the case, his biggest competitors should be Jeff and Harold Bauer instead!”“Jeff has the Elder Group behind his back. Out of thirty-six branch leaders of Longmen, half of them are supporting his rise to power as well,” Harvey calmly replied.
Vroom!At nine o’clock in the evening, a Maybach showed up in front of Longmen’s Law Enforcement mansion.The mansion was heavily guarded. A hundred experienced disciples of the Law Enforcement were dispatched to survey the entire mansion and carefully check everyone’s identities.Other than preventing outsiders from going inside, they also wanted to make sure that nobody would be able to bring in firearms in order to prevent any bloodshed.Harvey walked past the front door, with Rachel accompanying him.When she showed the Longmen’s Law Enforcement Badge, the disciples willingly let them pass.After going past a few checkpoints and walking in such a massive mansion for several minutes, Harvey could hear faint screaming, clapping, and whistling echoing not far away.The clamoring alone was enough to get people riled up for the tournament.Soon, Harvey saw a big bronze door with eighteen disciples of Longmen’s Law Enforcement with weapons standing on guard. They were all on high
After pondering the situation for a moment, Harvey looked at the VIP area in front of him.A row of people was seated there.There were a few elderly people sitting on the side. All of them seemed extremely high and mighty at first glance. They were probably the elders of Longmen’s Law Enforcement.If Harvey guessed correctly, at least half of them were already bought off by Joseph.If not, they wouldn’t have shown up at the tournament in the first place.Joseph was nowhere to be seen. Ezra, who was already crippled, took his place at the centermost seat instead.Behind Ezra were several tall and strong people standing with their heads raised up high.Harvey glanced at them. He could only recognize Lydia.She was slapped in the face and thoroughly humiliated when she had showed up at Hatchet Gang’s base camp.However, she managed to regain her calm that night. Along with her exquisite makeup and her gown that revealed her pale and slender legs, she looked extremely attractive.
After hearing that Harvey called himself the head of Law Enforcement, the people behind Lydia scoffed.In the same group, a woman with short hair who was dressed in Chanel brand from head to toe and sporting an Omega Constellation watch glared icily at Harvey. She clenched her hand and laughed arrogantly. “Let’s stop wasting time on a man like him, Lydia!”“People like him think they’re on top of the world the moment they get praised!”“Look, he’s even thinking of joining the martial arts tournament!”“He thinks he can become the head of Law Enforcement and make everyone serve him!”“He's trying to be an elite of Flutwell!”She glared at Harvey again, her face disdainful.“Someone like him can never do anything responsibly!”“So why even waste time on him?”“I don’t care if he gets in the ring or not, but I know he’ll be beaten to death as soon as he steps inside!”“Forget it. A man like him won’t actually do what he says,” a man with short hair added with a gloomy tone.
Slap!Right at this moment, Rachel, who had kept herself quiet for the longest time, swung the back of her hand across Lydia’s face and slapped the latter hard.“Say that one more time! I dare you.”“You…”Lydia was terrified of Rachel.She was slapped in the face, but she didn’t dare fight back either. All she could do was cover her face as she stumbled back in fear.“Why don’t you get in the damn ring and hide behind this woman as well, Harvey?!” she exclaimed.“Let’s see how a kept man like you gets the crowd’s respect!”Harvey couldn’t be bothered to entertain Lydia any longer, so he casually walked forward without a care in the world.“Ignore him, Lydia!”“He thinks he can show off in Flutwell just because he’s being kept by a powerful woman!”“What a joke!”“Well, he’ll know what it means to go against someone way out of his league tonight!” the short-haired woman from before exclaimed with a disdainful look.She dragged Lydia back as quickly as she could; she was af
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
