“I disagree, Vice Master!”An elderly man stood up with a grim look.“We’re no different than cowards if we do this!”“We’ll become Country H’s biggest joke if we actually go through with this. How are we supposed to keep the underworld under control after this?”“Don’t forget! We’ve been protecting the country on the front lines since ancient times.”“If we back down right now, how are we supposed to see our ancestors without shame?”“You’re just a vice branch leader, Fisher! You only got permission to be here because you have the only remaining provincial champion with you!”“What right do you have to question the vice master?”An elder furiously slammed the table.“You said we should fight back, but what will you do if we lose?”“Who’s going to take responsibility?”“You?”“Are you even worthy?’Fisher glared coldly at the elder with immense authority.“If we do lose, our reputation might be thrown out the window! The Longmen Summit would be the biggest joke alive too…
“You should understand this, Vice Branch Leader Benett!”“Avoiding the fight this time doesn’t mean that we won’t fight another time. We’re only staying low for the time being!”“Next time, when our top talents look good enough to crush the Indians, we’ll just challenge them again.”“You should know that power doesn’t mean everything in this day and age. We need to think ahead!”“Hard work always pays off. There’s always time to take revenge!”“If the kings from ancient times only talked about blood and courage, we wouldn’t have enough rulers to last this long.”“If they couldn’t bear any sort of humiliation, how would they be able to rise in the future?”“Logically speaking, we should remain discreet and decline the challenge!”“So what if we endure a little bit of shame?” an elder added sternly.“We’ll just ask for forgiveness after the situation passes!”“If we lose this fight, we wouldn’t be able to fix the situation, even with our lives!”Fisher took a deep breath.“Vi
“It’s not that I don’t want to fight! We simply can’t!”Elder Steele sighed, a miserable look on his face.Naturally, it was hard for him to admit that the top talents of Longmen were inferior.Before Fisher could say anything, Bryce frowned for a moment, and narrowed his eyes at him.“Tell me, what are the chances of your champion winning against the Indians?”“I don’t know, but he managed to knock out every single one of his opponents with a single move.”“Compared to the other participants, his strength was simply overwhelming!”“Even if he can’t crush the Indians, it wouldn’t be hard for him to take down a few of them.”“Harvey York… Harvey York…”Elder Steele kept mumbling the name to himself before slapping his head in recognition.“I remember now! He’s the one who won against Bowen in a bet!”“That’s right! That’s him!” Fisher exclaimed.The elders felt relieved after hearing those words.After all, making someone like Bowen suffer was enough proof that Harvey was b
Not just Bryce, the elders were all in complete shock.‘He’s so arrogant!’‘He’s insane!’‘He’s out of his mind!’Before the higher-ups could make up their minds, this young man had already challenged all of India’s top talents.‘Is he just ignorant?!’‘Or does he really have the strength to do such a thing?’“This is insane! What’s that young man trying to do?”Bryce’s eyes sharpened into a deathly glare; he was so angry, to the point where his chest started to ache.Fisher’s eyes twitched frantically for a while before he said, “Harvey’s made up his mind!”“He wants to fight against all of them!”“What are you saying?!”Bryce slammed the table furiously.“Are you joking?!’“This is war!”“What does he think this is? A damn roleplay session?”“Who does he think he is?”“Can he even bear the consequences of this situation?!”“That b*stard!”“Goddamnit!”Bryce was trembling in anger; it was good Harvey wasn’t in front of him right now.If not, he would’ve slapped th
In a mountain valley shrouded by fog all year round, Longmen’s Three Inner Halls was located.A young girl in a white dress, looking like an innocent fairy, walked slowly out from the valley.She took every single step on top of trees and rocks. Even when she was standing on the edge of the mountain, it seemed like she was on flat ground.The winds of the mountain valley were fierce, but they only hastened her movements and didn’t bother her one bit.Right as she was reaching out to a blue lotus on the edge of the mountain, her phone started vibrating inside her little backpack.A tender voice could be heard when she picked up the call.“We have news from Longmen Headquarters.”“They need your help to reclaim Longmen’s reputation.”“You should go. Remember, don’t go easy on your opponents.”“The Indians are our enemies this time, not your brothers and sisters.”The young girl let out a voice of approval before frowning.She stood on a tree branch with the tip of her toe, and
At the same time, inside Martial Hall.Harvey spat his tea right on Fisher and another person in front of him.One of them was the vice branch leader of Flutwell’s Longmen branch.The other was the elder who decided to fight alongside him, Damian Steele, Elder Steele himself.“Elder Steele, Vice Branch Leader Benett.”“This is meaningless, don’t you think?”“I can deal with the Indians on my own! Why do I need three little brats to tag along?”The two elites came to commend Harvey for his courage, yet he didn’t hold back at all.Three sets of documents were set right in front of him.Harvey’s eyes twitched when he saw the little brats’ ages, along with other information.It would be easy for him to deal with the Indians. Al he needed to do was to slap the Indians out of commission…However, bringing the brats along would cause unnecessary trouble.Thus, Harvey decided to decline the request.More importantly, he had a lot of things to do; he really didn’t have time to baby
Harvey couldn’t reject Fisher and Damian at this point.He let out a sigh. “I appreciate your concern, but I really don’t have the time to babysit those three.”“Sigh! We’re not asking you to babysit them, Harvey.”Fisher smiled warmly at him. “Just treat them like the instructors you hired.”“You have Martial Hall under your belt right now. Surely you don’t have enough instructors to run your business.”“These three are top talents! With them around, your business will definitely grow!”Damian smiled.“That said, I’m afraid you’ll still have to take them with you.”“These children are excellent; they’re gifted people with amazing skills.”“That said, they’re too inexperienced. They’ll get into big trouble if they get tricked by the Indians.”“That’s why we need your help; just treat them as your backups. You don’t need to use them, but just make sure they’re with you at all times.”Damian let out a sigh.“It’s a shame we got the news too late. If we stopped the fights ea
Harvey took an hour or two of his sleep to read up on the three top talents’ information.After that, he couldn’t help but be impressed by them.Even he wanted to bring up a student or two with such talents.That said, this was still all up to chance; he was no longer the Head Coach of Sword Camp. The children weren’t his soldiers either.On the next day, early in the morning, Harvey was doing his morning exercise when Layne ran over with a horrified look.“What is it?”Harvey frowned.‘The students should be starting by now. Is someone trying to cause trouble now?’“Sir York, did Vice Branch Leader Benett talk about something of the three top talents recently?”Layne took out her phone before showing Harvey Martial Hall’s surveillance footage.Three people who seemed like they were under twenty years old could be seen on the screen.The girl had a fairy-like aura; one of the boys seemed quite shy, while the other one seemed extremely strong and tanned, resembling a small bl
"While Country H is said to have existed for so many years, the people can be quite narrow-minded. They'll act all arrogant because they have a bit of talent. Not only that, but they also refuse to accept the rest of the civilized world. There's no need to get angry with these people," Juliana said to Hawk's men, her tone filled with concern."All of them say they love their country, but the truth is that they'll leave for greener pastures as soon as opportunities present themselves. Despite agreeing with your values, I'm still part of this country. I wish I could really be part of you!" Juliana said, envy and disappointment on her face.Hawk and the others smiled when they saw Juliana's attitude. If most of the people from Country H acted like this, their cultural victory would be assured. At this point, all of them smiled widely and abandoned whatever upset feelings they had from just now.-About ten minutes later, Harvey took Alexei back to the Dragon Gate Training Hall. Va
When Juliana and the others saw Harvey and Alexei leave, all of them could only grit their teeth in anger despite being genuinely surprised. They didn't expect Harvey's call to be enough to remove Hawk's status as a Knight Templar with one call. His quick action had humiliated Hawk and his men.Normally speaking, they would never believe that Harvey would be able to do such a thing. They didn't expect that reality could be so cruel to the point that it was choking them. Harvey was so influential that they found themselves struggling to breathe."Calm down, Hawk. Don't feel down. I don't think that what happened is real," Juliana said as she subconsciously consoled Hawk. "His reputation is built on boasts. He doesn't understand just how powerful your culture is! There's no way he can affect the powerful Knights Templar."I suspect he's working with someone else and got a fake number, so that he could intimidate and trick you! In other words, you can't let this confuse you! Even i
Harvey narrowed his eyes and said calmly to Hawk, "If you're really that powerful, you won't be wearing that expression when you see me."The so-called top from their side would not only treat him with respect, but they would also get the hell out of there as fast as possible.However, Hawk didn't understand what Harvey was trying to convey. He smiled coldly and said, "You don't understand what the Knight Templars mean, do you? Before this name, even dragons and beasts must fall! And when it comes to someone like you… The moment I showed you my identity, you won't even have the privilege to bend your knee!"Harvey refuted calmly, "If you're really that influential, won't it humiliate you completely if I can make you bend your knee with one call?"Hawk's expression turned brutal. "Oh? You're going to make a move? Come on, then! Show me just how good you really are!"Harvey nodded and pulled out his phone as he looked at Hawk. "Since you asked for it, I guess I have no choice but
Harvey scoffed. He couldn't be bothered by wasting his breath speaking to someone like Juliana, who obviously had been hit on the head. Instead, he turned to Alexei. "I'm leaving now. You either leave with me, or you can stay here and be a simp. But remember—if you stay as her simp, don't appear in front of me again. A man who has no pride and a backbone doesn't have the right to stand in front of me."Hearing that, there was a hint of hesitation on Alexei's face.When Juliana saw that Harvey didn't agree to her demand and even changed the subject, she smiled coldly. "If you have a death wish, then I'll grant it to you. I won't pull my punches from here on out. And you, Alexei. You can try and leave with him… As long as you can bear the consequences of that!"Alexei's expression was filled with even more hesitation. In the end, he gritted his teeth and left together with Harvey.Juliana's smile turned icy when she saw what had happened. "Good, Alexei! You'll regret this! From n
"I'm sorry! It's all my fault! My entire fault! I shouldn't have forced you!" Alexei said, lowering his head dejectedly. Seeing this, Juliana walked over and extended her hand, raising Alexei's chin. She said coldly, "It's good that you know you're making a mistake. Now, Hawk and I will need to get some rest at the hotel. We'll also be going to a charity ball later. Since we're very busy, we don't have the time to pay for our meal. Remember to pay for it and our presidential suite as well. Understand?"While Juliana looked down at Alexei, she didn't mind making Alexei pay for everything. From her perspective, it was a matter of course.When Alexei heard it, he still nodded despite the dark expression on his face.He wanted to take his wallet out, but Harvey quickly stopped Alexei and took his wallet instead. "If you have the money for a woman, why don't you come with me and eat something at the nearby stall? Don't waste your life and time on a woman like this."Harvey dragged A
After Alexei heard what Harvey had to say, his expression was filled with hesitation. It was obvious that he did have feelings for Juliana. However, there was also fear. He didn't know what he should do.He was afraid that Juliana might really abandon him. At the same time, he was really afraid that Juliana was cheating. Alexei felt like he was stuck between a rock and a hard place."Alexei? Why are you here?" At this time, a cold and arrogant voice could be heard. "Are you here to ambush me? So that you can annoy me?"Harvey instinctively turned around and saw Juliana and Hawk walking out from the restaurant hand-in-hand like a wealthy couple. Behind them were their secretaries, lawyers, and bodyguards. They looked like important people; on the other hand, Alexei looked like a beggar by the street.Alexei quickly ran over, forcing himself to smile despite being upset. "I heard you're back, Juliana, so I came over to pick you up. You must be tired now. I've arranged for a pre
"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
