Half an hour later, the stocks of Flutwell’s business alliance dropped by a dozen points.Right as the stocks were rising, a huge amount of capital flooded into the market.The capital went straight for the alliance, buying short stocks in an instant.The investors were completely shocked when they saw hundreds of thousands of pending orders.They all sold their stocks almost at the same time, afraid that they’ll turn into worthless numbers.In just a few minutes, Flutwell’s business alliance’s stocks plummeted from forty-four dollars to only twenty-eight dollars.One-third of the alliance’s billion-dollar market value was immediately gone.Aside from the people in Flutwell, who were following the situation, investors from abroad were completely in the dark.The simplest way to stop a situation like this is always to prevent it from happening.Under these circumstances, the stock prices of Flutwell’s business alliance would be completely slaughtered if people kept selling thei
The stock market opened up once again in the afternoon.Harvey didn’t leave the Bauer family’s courtyard just yet; he showed Flutwell’s business alliance’s stocks right at the entrance through a projector.Clearly, Harvey was planning to get into the family’s heads.After seeing that, the families who thought badly of Joseph walked right into the courtyard.They were all trying to cause trouble for Flutwell’s business alliance anyway; it would be a waste if they didn’t take whatever they wanted inside.While the furious battle of the stock market was ongoing, Mandy, who was inside Hearthstone Corporation, suddenly heard her phone ringing incessantly.She wasn’t planning to pick up the call, but she had no other choice after seeing the name on the screen.She let out a sigh.“I told you not to trade more stocks!”“Why won’t you just listen to me for once?!”“Not only did you put all your life savings in Flutwell’s business alliance, you’re even buying on margin?”“You only le
“Propose?”Ruby froze; even she couldn’t comprehend just how stupid Lilian actually was.But for the sake of the plan, she remained calm and collected.“Mrs. Yates, of course Young Master Bauer will propose to CEO Zimmer. But not today, and not right now.”“We wanted you to call her here to ask for her help…”“What kind of help?”Lilian was confused.“Your dear son-in-law is causing Young Master Bauer trouble right now.”“Young Master Bauer is extremely unhappy. We hope your daughter can convince Harvey to stop.”“This will do no good to anyone involved, after all!”There was something Ruby didn’t say: even if Mandy couldn’t help, they would still use her to distract Harvey anyway.Everything had to be done before the end of the stock market that afternoon. If not, it would all be for naught.“That b*stard’s causing trouble for Young Master Bauer?!”Lilian instantly raised her voice.“Doesn’t he want my daughter to live in peace?!”“Don’t worry! I’ll make sure Mandy deal
“Enough talk!”“What do you want?!”Mandy was cautious.Ruby chuckled.“You should talk to CEO Zimmer instead, Mrs. Yates.”“It’s inconvenient for us outsiders to get involved.”“As long as CEO Zimmer accepts our proposal, we’ll make your wishes come true.”As soon as she heard Ruby’s words, Lilian stared right at Mandy, as if she was injected with adrenaline. “That b*stard Harvey’s causing trouble to Young Master Bauer! I don’t know what kind of friends he’s making for him to do this, but he’s screwing with Young Master Bauer’s stocks right now!”“Call him right now!”“Tell him to stop this at once!”“If he doesn’t, I’ll teach him a lesson he won’t forget!”Mandy froze. Immediately after, she glared fiercely at Ruby.“You’re shameless!”Ruby replied with a faint smile.“How could you say something like that?”“We didn’t ask for this. Your mother did.”“As long as you give Harvey a phone call and tell him to stop what he’s doing to Young Master Bauer…”“Your mother w
However, four of Mandy’s bodyguards stepped out without hesitation.Mandy swiftly rushed toward the front door.She knew she had to get out no matter what.If she fell in Ruby’s hands, she would be used against Harvey one way or another.For the time being, she wasn’t worried about Lilian’s safety.She could tell Lilian was on the same boat as the enemy.“You can’t leave, Mandy!” Lilian yelled instinctively.Her stocks would be gone forever if Mandy left!It was a hundred and fifty million dollars!Mandy quickly left without even bothering to look back.Bam, bam, bam!Before Mandy could even get to her car, screams of pain could be heard from behind.The bodyguards were all sent flying.Blood splattered everywhere as they fell to the ground; they lost consciousness in an instant.Ruby grinned as she strutted out with her men.Naturally, she couldn’t afford to have Mandy slip away at this point.“Go, CEO Zimmer!”The bodyguard who stayed to keep a lookout took off the s
“Harvey?!”“Why is this b*stard already here?!”Ruby instinctively looked over; her heart immediately skipped a beat after seeing the person in front of the car.She quickly revealed a small smile as she approached Harvey, with Mandy’s hair in her hand.“Aaagh!”Mandy couldn’t help but let out a scream as her hair was pulled around.Ruby casually slapped Mandy’s beautiful face before hissing coldly, “Scream! Scream louder!”“Let your husband hear! See what happens if you go against Young Master Bauer!”Mandy grunted after feeling a sharp pain on her face.She held her tears back when she looked at Harvey.“Harvey!”After seeing Ruby treating Mandy in such a way, and the blood and scars on Mandy’s face, Harvey’s eyes glowed with murderous intent.He took a deep breath and asked, “Are you okay, Mandy?”“I’m fine…” Mandy replied, though she was in pain.Harvey managed to calm down when he ensured Mandy was fine.He didn’t think Joseph would actually be this shameless.They
The strong men in suits were in high spirits when they saw Harvey York at such a disadvantage.They had been suffering quite a bit because of Harvey.The Bauer family’s courtyard was still completely surrounded.They finally had the chance to take revenge…“I swear. If anything happens to Mandy Zimmer, every single one of you, including Joseph Bauer, will die,” exclaimed Harvey after taking a deep breath. Not even a single hint of emotion could be felt from those words.Murderous intent covered the entire place.“Oh? Are you going to kill me?“What? Do you really cherish your wife that much?Ruby Murray showed a faint smile.“Well then! After you make your people stop their actions, you must also kneel!“Beg me!“If you don’t, this woman dies!”Ruby let out a loud cackle.The men in suits were laughing out loud as well.Lilian Yates, who remained inside the villa, was showing a playful look on her face while watching the sight.‘How dare this b*stard try to go against Yo
Ruby Murray felt extremely conceited at that moment. She arrogantly glared at Harvey York while flailing her firearm around.“You’re still standing?!” she exclaimed while pointing at Harvey.Lilian Yates was also happily waiting for Harvey to give in.In her eyes, a son-in-law like Harvey had no right to go against someone like Joseph Bauer.Her stocks would not plummet if Harvey had just kneeled. That way, she would not have to lose anything. Her daughter also would not have to be treated like this.In Lilian’s head, everything happened because of Harvey.“Alright. I’ll kneel. Just don’t do anything…”Harvey heaved a sigh, as if he had given up. His knees were slowly bending down…But right when everyone thought he was actually kneeling, he instantly propelled forward like an arrow.Fwoosh!Harvey flew right past dozens of men before landing directly in front of Ruby.Ruby felt incredibly sluggish. She did not expect Harvey to be this strong to do such a feat.The men gasp
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
