On the next day, early in the morning. Harvey York was woken up by the ringing of his phone.When he picked up the phone, Rachel Hardy’s frantic voice could be heard from the other side.“This is bad, Sir York. The entire Bowie family was killed last night…”When Harvey showed up on the scene, people had already flooded the entire place.Other than the Bowie family’s relatives, many inspectors and disciples of Longmen’s Law Enforcement were also there.The entire city was in complete shock after such a big thing happened.It’s said that the upper social circle was enraged by the news. They accumulated millions of dollars as a reward for whoever could find the murderer.Rachel was standing amongst the crowd. It was not long since she came to Flutwell, but she had already started to blend in with the city’s upper social circle.She stood behind the crowd to avoid contact with anyone else and waited for Harvey’s arrival.Rachel walked forward as soon as she saw Harvey.“Sorry to
“How many people in Flutwell can do something like this?”“Not a lot,” Rachel Hardy promptly replied.“Other than the envoys of the Golden Palace, a few prominent figures of Longmen, and the young masters of the Bauer family…“Only a handful of people can do something like this.“Am I included in the list?”Rachel bitterly chuckled.“What do you think, Sir York?”“So, you’re saying that all the evidence points right toward me…”Harvey York merely smiled.“But, since they’re not conclusive enough, there’s no way to prove that I was the one who did it, right?”Rachel’s eyes twitched.“That is exactly why it’s troublesome, Sir York.“There’s no way to prove that we were the ones who did it, but we also can’t prove otherwise.“If we’re not careful today, we’ll surely have to take the blame for it.”Harvey squinted at the Bauer family before letting out a sigh.“Impressive move. They’d even sacrifice one of their pawns to kill me off…”Rachel looked in the same direction bef
“Everyone knows you have a grudge against Jordan Bowie!“You even threatened him at the police station yesterday!“Many people were there!“You thought he was too ruthless, so you decided to strike first!“That was why you killed his entire goddamn family!“And to humiliate him, you even forced him to kneel before you stabbed him!“You’re heinous!Mac Bauer was showing a righteous look.“Judging from this perspective, you are the murderer!“There’s no proof of that…“But, everyone has the same thought at this point!“You can’t run away from this!“If the law can’t take you down today, I’ll sentence you on behalf of the Bauer family!”The crowd was in an uproar when they stared at Harvey York, full of shock.The Bowie family’s friends and relatives were infuriated. The ones who trained in martial arts gritted their teeth in resentment. They wanted to skin Harvey alive so badly at this moment.Harvey calmly crossed his arms and glared at Mac.“Don’t try to spout any more
Mac Bauer squinted at Harvey York, as if he regained his courage before bursting out a laugh.“Do you hear that, Harvey?“My nephew actually has proof that you murdered the Bowie family!“You also have a motive!“What can you say to that?!”Harvey smiled faintly when he looked at Mac before squinting at August Bauer.“You have footage of this place?”“Why, of course!”August squinted back.He had read Harvey’s dossier before, so he knew just how troublesome Harvey was as an enemy.When he saw Harvey in person, he was shocked that such a young man would be this calm and collected.It was hard to imagine how a young man like this managed to deal with Davian Holt and rose to power.At the same time, Harvey’s various titles had made August a little resentful.‘What right does a man like this have to have such an immense status?’August believed that Harvey was the one who murdered his father-in-law’s family. August was able to inherit all of the family’s property because of t
Without a second thought, Rachel Hardy’s face darkened instantly.“Enough of this slander, August Bauer!“Show us the proof if you really do have it!”“Heh! What if you decided to destroy it once I show it to you?!”August squinted at Rachel. He knew quite a lot of things about Oliver Bauer’s top disciple.That was why he was showing a heinous look when he leered at Rachel’s nice figure.“This is solid proof! The murderer will have no chance even to refute this!August squinted.“You’re different compared to this man, Rachel. You’ve been Longmen’s top disciple since the very beginning!“Besides, didn’t your teacher die in his hands as well?“Yet, you’re still here standing up for him right now?“What will your ancestors think about this?”“Don’t try to lecture me!Rachel showed a cold gaze. She had no intention of showing any respect toward August.“What right do you even have to talk to me like this?“If I find out that you’re deliberately framing Sir York or that there
The footage was a little blurry, but Harvey York did show up in it.There were two instances of Harvey’s appearance. One when Harvey entered the Bowie Manor, and the other when he left.Before he left, he even showed a playful grin right at the camera.If Harvey were not sure that he was not the murderer, he would have actually thought that he killed off the entire Bowie family too, after seeing the footage.Rachel Hardy also frowned. This wasn’t decisive evidence, but it proved that Harvey did have the time to commit such a crime. Along with the motive, this could almost pass as irrefutable evidence.Mac Bauer burst out laughing after seeing the footage.“Look! There’s proof of your killing right here! What else can you even say at this point?!”“You claimed you didn’t do it, but who’s this in the footage?” said August Bauer calmly.Harvey calmly glanced at Mac and August, who were showing threatening looks.“Number one. I am not the murderer.“You’re all experienced martial
After seeing Harvey York’s casual look, Mac Bauer and August Bauer changed their expressions slightly.‘Was the person in the footage not Harvey?’ they thought.The two inspectors handling the case also changed their expressions.“Since you said so, we’ll call one of them to confirm that.“Make sure that they aren’t colluding.”The other inspector stood up and jotted down Lilian Yates, Mandy Zimmer, and Xynthia Zimmer’s phone numbers from Harvey’s phone before dialing a number in the room next door.Five minutes later, the inspector came back and glared at Harvey with a cold gaze.“I’m sorry, Mr. York.“We called your mother-in-law.“She said that she didn’t see you. She also wanted you gone.“We’ll have to hold you here as a suspect for now…”Mac and August looked at each other before they burst out laughing.***Bam!Half an hour later, inside the Hatchet Gang’s base camp.Rachel Hardy and the others walked into the deepest part of the manor with cold expressions on th
Lilian Yates thought that Harvey York must have been worried about her bringing up the gold mine in the future.That was why he sent Rachel Hardy here to make her turn a blind eye to the matter.Lilian was boiling with rage at this moment.In her eyes, she would have been the wealthiest mother-in-law there ever was if it was not for Harvey.She did not need to live in a rundown place like this!Even the air around here stank!“Be honest with me, you b*tch! Have you been sleeping with that b*stard or not?!“Tell me if you are! I’ll even help you climb the ranks!“You’ll have a chance to be with him as long as Harvey breaks up with my daughter!“Or are you saying you’d prefer to be a third wheel for the rest of your life?”“You…”Rachel was on the verge of slapping Lilian, but she managed to hold back her feelings after remembering her value.“I don’t care what grudges you hold against Sir York, Lilian!” she exclaimed coldly.“I also don’t care what happened before!“I want
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
