“Oh!Harvey York nodded.“How impressive.“That said, you people are at the wrong place, aren’t you?”“Enough playing around!The middle-aged man showed an austere look while placing his hand on his longsword.“According to the laws of the Martial Arts Alliance, every single Budokan must be regulated by us!“This is to prevent people from scamming others in the name of martial arts, causing the citizens to misunderstand the entire thing!“We received reports last night that the Martial Hall was involved with fraud, using underhanded tactics to deceive people’s money!“The Martial Arts Alliance will thoroughly investigate the situation!“We have permission to act before reporting to the higher-ups, so you better not try to stop us!“We’ll even use force if we have to!”The middle-aged man’s words were calm and steady, but there was a sense of arrogance and pride while he talked about the Martial Arts Alliance.It was as if he was announcing his authority to everyone around
“Right! Why would he talk to us about the philosophies of martial arts if he only wanted to get rich?!”“How could he possibly be a con artist if he’s treating his students this way?!”After pondering the situation for a while, those people had immense trust and acknowledgment toward Harvey York.“You people are idiots! How could he fool you if he didn’t have someone good enough to convince you?!“Layne Naiswell and the others were just working for him last night before they fought!“Are you telling me that it wasn’t just an act?!The students who spoke up were instantly silenced. They did not know what to reply at this point.After seeing the students’ beliefs being swayed, Boden Osborne chuckled disdainfully.“I know you people don’t believe that Harvey’s only good at putting on a facade!“That’s why, to prove that he’s just a conman, I invited a few deacons from the Martial Arts Alliance here!“These people are experts! You’ll know that Harvey’s just a conman soon enough!
Boden Osborne coldly chuckled after hearing those words before taking a step forward.“We have solid proof that you’re a conman, Harvey York!“What do you have to say for yourself?!”‘Bunch of idiots…’Harvey waved his hand to stop Dillon Lee from speaking before he glanced back at the elderly people.“You should have a closer look before jumping to conclusions about my teaching manual. At this point, you only read the first few pages of the manual.”“Stop trying to talk your way out of this!“Do you think we’re jumping to conclusions?!A deacon with the surname of Lee crossed his arms while speaking up.“I’ve been training for so many years now! I can tell how good or bad the sacred texts or teaching manuals are just by looking at them!“Your manual is nothing out of the ordinary! You can find this anywhere!“If you have one of those ordinary Budokans that focus on strengthening your body, I wouldn’t even comment about it…“But you take so much of people’s money, claiming
Harvey York’s teaching manual was quite progressive and understandable, explaining the ways of regulating energy along with the fundamentals of Neijia.Even though no one would be invincible after going along with Harvey’s teaching methods, it would not be difficult for anyone to go against ten people after being taught this way.Boden Osborne and the others frowned instantly after reading the manual. He did not expect that Harvey would actually be this kind-hearted.Harvey glanced at Deacon Lee and the others.“I know that the people who come here to learn do trust me…“But, I also need to take responsibility for the students!“I don’t need their money. The fees are a prerequisite for them to join!“If they can’t spend this much money on the lessons, how will they bear the fees later?“Since I took the money, it’s only natural that I do my job!“As long as the students have the heart to learn step by step, they’ll be able to learn many things here.“I didn’t mention I’d teac
“Come! Close this place down!“Arrest Harvey York too!“We’ll deal with this criminal ourselves!”Boden Osborne waved his hand with a cold expression, as if he was enforcing the law…But all the men around him hesitated.They were all martial artists. They knew full well that Budokans like the Martial Hall were extremely rare.Judging from any perspective, the existence of the Martial Hall could make martial arts flourish.That was why the men could not convince themselves to put the blame on the Martial Hall and shut it down.More importantly, they could not bear to go against such a benevolent man like Harvey.“What? Are all of you deaf or something?!“Are you disobeying me?!Boden gritted his teeth before bellowing.“The Martial Hall’s involved in a scam! The owner is obviously the most suspicious one here! Shut this place down and arrest him already!“You b*stards! How dare you?!”Even before Harvey said anything, the students immediately swarmed the men from the Mart
“I know you’ve been looking for a suitable Budokan during recent years…“But this one’s just a scam!“You shouldn’t come here!“I’ll introduce you to a Budokan with genuine talent after I’m done dealing with this one.”Boden Osborne knew who Aldo John was exactly. Even though he was just a collateral relative, he would definitely be able to suppress Boden, considering his status within the John family.After all, the Golden Palace was backing the family.No matter how powerful the Martial Arts Alliance was, Boden was just a mere team captain. He was not even considered a deacon. Then, how could he even go against the John family or the Golden Palace?“Move!” Aldo exclaimed with a cold expression.“The John family has this place covered!”Boden’s expression immediately changed.“Young Master John, you can’t! This is…”Slap!Aldo could not be bothered to listen. He immediately sent Boden flying with a slap.“Clean up the place!” he exclaimed.His bodyguards started to move
A deafening scream could be heard from inside. Layne Naiswell quickly reacted to the situation while she was changing her clothes. She instantly hid in a corner, but she was still severely injured.Her face had completely lost all color. It was a miserable sight.If this were any other day, she would have evaded the truck with no trouble at all…But after expending most of her energy recovering Aldo John, she was no different than any other young woman. Obviously, she got hurt because of this.“Layne!”Harvey York froze before rushing out to open the truck door. Then, he pulled out a bald man who reeked of alcohol before throwing him against the wall.The man screamed in pain. A wretched look was showing on his face.While Dillon Lee and the others were still in a daze, Harvey gestured to them to move the truck out of the place.The other instructors hurriedly tried to dig Layne out of the rubble.Even though she managed to avoid the truck, she was still bleeding out of her or
“Someone asked me to tell you that you’re not supposed to be here!“There are some people you can’t afford to go against, you country bumpkin!“Once you do, you’ll pay a hefty price!“The people around you were hurt this time, but it might not be the case next time!”The bald driver continued showing a playful look on his face.Harvey York’s gaze was as cold as ice.“You’re right. There are some people that you really can’t afford to go against.”The bald driver showed a cold smirk.“Are you still talking big at this point, Sir York?“This is all just the beginning!“You’re the one my boss is targeting!“You better be careful when you go out next time! Don’t bump into people like me next time!“Right! Your wife is at the Hearthstone Corporation, and your sister-in-law’s in the hospital, right?“Then, you better make sure that they’re safe!”The bald driver showed a wretched look on his face.“Who the Hell is behind all this?!” exclaimed Harvey.“Make a guess! Aren’t you
"That's her, Big bro! According to my spy, he said Juliana is no longer hiding it and cheats openly! I didn't want to believe it, but from the looks of it, she's been cheating all this time!" Alexei said to Harvey. He was so upset that he almost cried.Harvey frowned. "That's all you know? What else do you have?"Alexei quickly took out his phone. "My spy has just sent me all the information. Juliana went to Lost City for further studies, and she studied well. Originally, according to the promise made, she should already be back about half a month ago so we could get married. However, she got to know this man called Hawk John at her graduation party. The two became fast friends. She even announced that they're best friends forever!"I thought they were just ordinary friends, but from the looks of it… That isn't it at all! Forget hiding it, Juliana's directly taking him back! I hate this!" Alexei slammed his chest, as if he were in a lot of pain.Harvey was speechless. "Seriou
Harvey's eyes started to twitch as he immediately gave Alexei a look. It was a call for help.Alexei shrugged. There was nothing he could do. However, it was exactly at this time that his phone suddenly started to vibrate. He gave it a weird look and picked it up. Then, he was stunned… He was practically frozen. No longer caring about anything, Alexei immediately ran over to Harvey and hugged his legs tightly. "Bro! Big bro! You have to help me! You must!"Alexei instantly started crying.Harvey promptly bent down and held Alexei's shoulder. As if he had found a way out, he said solemnly, "Don't worry, Alexei. I've always treated you like my own little brother. Your problem is also my problem. Even if the world is collapsing, I will protect you. So, stop worrying!"Alexei was so touched that he couldn't stop himself from weeping. "You're treating me so well, Big bro, even after I sold you out to my Senior…"Harvey's eyes twitched again. "We're family! What can I say? Let's
Harvey's eyes instinctively twitched. "It belongs to me, so why can't I stay here?"Vaida said worriedly, "Now that Grand City is so chaotic and the Sacred Lands are on the verge of getting into a fight, it's really dangerous if you stay outside. Both my father and I are worried about you. So… Shouldn't you move back?"Harvey led Vaida into the living room and said with a smile, "Don't overthink things, Vaida. It's exactly because things are getting unruly that I should stay in Dragon Gate Training Hall to be a stabilizing presence as their scion, right? Not to mention, I've bothered all of you too much all this time. I have too much going on. If I stay there, it will only bother the mayor, Mr. Wenzel, and Mr. Geoffrey. So, it's better if I stay at my own place."However, Harvey paused when he reached this part of the conversation. "Of course, if there's a need, all you need to do is to give me a call and I'll be there."Vaida nodded. "Harvey, other than the reason you've given us
Mandy was a little startled, then looked at Harvey with a strange look. "You're in such a rush to get rid of me? Don't tell me you really want to be the mayor's son-in-law? I've been here less than a day, and there are already plenty of people warning me about you becoming one."Harvey rolled his eyes. "Don't listen to their nonsense. If I really wanted to be his son-in-law, I wouldn't have gone to save you.""Then why are you in such a rush to send me away?"Harvey sighed. "There are really some things that are beyond my abilities. Let's use what happened this time with Clarion as an example. It's true that I let him take the glory, but after doing that, Dan now considers me an enemy and a thorn in his side. "As a member of the Top Ten Families, you have some understanding of him, don't you? Since he can't deal with me effectively, he'll definitely start with you. The reason I'm asking you to leave is for your own safety."Mandy clicked her tongue. "If Dan really wants to do
Emery slowly flipped and opened the Chapter of Ascension. The Chapter itself was old, written with small letters. Accompanied the original texts were notes and some insights.Emery only believed a portion of the rumors regarding the Chapter of Ascension. After reading through the notes and personal reflections, he could ascertain that the Chapter of Ascension was genuine.What was written inside the Chapter of Ascension was indeed capable of completely changing a martial artist's way of thinking.As he read through it, Emery was already subconsciously trying to test and start training by following what was recorded within the Chapter of Ascension. He had just started to let the energy inside of him flow, but had already noticed that his power, that reached a bottleneck for some time, started to have a breakthrough.In just an instant, Emery could already feel somewhat stronger. It was only a small amount, but it was enough to excite him. It meant that the Chapter of Ascension w
The Wright residence, Wolsing.When Janus got out of a Rolls-Royce Cullinan, it was around midnight. He looked around carefully before quickly entering a courtyard within the residence, holding a wooden box.He walked through the corridors with full familiarity and entered a study.Emery, the Number One Young Master of Wolsing, was quietly holding a piece of gemstone, brushing it against his thumb.Janus didn't run in. Instead, he waited until Emery was done looking at the gemstone before entering. "Good evening, sir."Emery raised his head and glanced at Janus. "So? Did you get it?"Janus smiled. "Is there anything in this world you want that we can't get for you?"He carefully put the small box on the coffee table and smiled."While Harvey and that idiot Hale are all quite good," he said, "they're all pawns playing to your tune. This time, with Daichi working for us and Sky Plane suffering such a huge loss, we finally have it in our hands. If those monsters from Sky Plane kne
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
