Rachel Hardy smiled without saying a word.Harvey York was playing tricks in the face of his enemies. This was a lot different compared to underhanded tactics.If Zoe Garcia were forced into limbo because of this, then that would be her problem.She was the one who got herself into the situation anyway.When fighters from both sides arrived, a member of the Far East Martial Arts Alliance stepped on the platform and announced the rules.Since there were eighteen top talents who came from India, Longmen could also have eighteen fighters in total.That said, the participants would have to be the ones who joined the Longmen Summit.Longmen’s strongest fighters were all excluded because of this.That said, the Indians came to fight Longmen anyway. This was only natural.After assembling all fighters, three battles would be held every single day.Whoever defeated the opponent inside the ring or forced them out would be considered victorious.The winning side could choose to keep f
“Longmen’s about to lose this!”“Harvey York was talking big before! Why doesn’t he just fight the first battle himself?!”“The first fight will decide the rest of the team’s morale! He’s probably not that confident in himself!”Gossip could be heard throughout the place when Philip Steele and Camilo Myers walked to the center of the ring.People were debating who would win the first fight…The crowd was dead silent when the host declared the fight to commence.Camilo showed a faint smile before he wore a pair of silk gloves.He then calmly hooked his finger toward Philip.A simple movement was enough to show Camilo’s extreme confidence.Bryce Kennedy and the others frowned when they saw the sight.They could tell that Camilo was a formidable opponent.“Let me introduce everyone…”Axel Garcia stood up and smiled at the people around him.“Camilo came from India’s Celestial Temple. He had been training since he was seven! When he was seventeen, he was already a King of Arms
Many people from Country H went speechless after seeing the sight.They knew Philip Steele was one of the three young talents from Longmen’s Eight Inner and Outer Halls.He was one of the strongest people to participate in the fight…And yet he was at a disadvantage after the very first move! Longmen also had high hopes for him!The people just could not accept that fact.Even Fisher Benett and Damian Steele could not help but feel slightly anxious.While sitting in the eastern resting area, Rachel Hardy frowned when she saw the sight.“Looks like Camilo Myers is pretty impressive, Sir York.“Silk Boxing looks a little intimidating too.“Aren’t you afraid of Philip losing?”“It’s pretty impressive for young people to invent their own martial arts!“Camilo’s definitely one of the best in India…“But that doesn’t matter.“As long as I’m here, it doesn’t matter if Philip and the others win or lose.“Besides, I have nothing to worry. They’re the ones fighting in the ring.”R
Camilo Myers moved faster after being cheered on. He relentlessly threw his punch without fail.The people from Country H were frantically twitching their eyes after seeing the sight. They were extremely anxious when they saw Philip Steele being slowly forced back.Bryce Kennedy could not help but stand to watch whatever was happening inside the ring. He was afraid that this would be their very first loss…Rachel Hardy looked at Harvey York and said, “Sir York, the fight’s about to finish…“What’s going to happen next?”Harvey squinted at Philip before he cracked a faint smile.“Fighting spirit lies in the very first move…“Silk Boxing is quite something. Every single punch is faster and stronger than the previous one.“There’s no way to counter it once it’s started.“That’s why the simplest way to deal with it is to wait until an opportunity shows itself.“If Philip can see through this, Camilo will surely lose!”On the ring, Camilo threw his final consecutive punch.Right
Rachel Hardy felt a little sluggish when she saw the sight happen in the ring.“If I didn’t know that the kid only stayed with you for a week…“I would’ve thought that you were the one who taught him that,” said Rachel with admiration showing on her face.“You say that like I only know how to slap people around.Harvey York let out a chuckle.“Philip Steele was highly confident in his strength.“He also knows that this is an important fight for us.“Not only did he have to win, but he also had to win with ease.“He wasn’t half-bad.“Unless the Indians send out Danny Burton and the others, nobody else would be able to go against Philip.Harvey could not see the future, but as the Chief Instructor of the generation, he could gauge how strong everyone was with just a single gaze.There was no need to watch the entire process for him to know that the Indians had almost no chance of winning the first fight.It was not because Camilo Myers was bad. Philip was just way beyond his
Simply put, Amber Levine’s heavenly aura was seeping out even when she was only standing still. People would mistake her for an actual fairy in this case.Kenna Park was a beautiful and confident woman, but she was missing a certain aura. Compared to Amber, she was just an ugly duckling at that moment.A cold expression could be seen on Kenna’s face.She squinted at Amber before she said, “You better admit defeat right now, kid.“I’m a master of the Thousand Hands. I specialize in hidden weapons!“I wouldn’t be able to control my own power!“If I kill you by accident, you better not haunt me after.”Kenna showed a playful look on her face.Naturally, the Indians had no intention of going easy after seeing Camilo Myers’ loss.Kenna was planning to go all out. It would not matter to her even if someone were to die from that.After hearing her words, the rest of the Indians regained their confidence.After all, they knew exactly how terrifying Kenna’s Thousand Hands were.It w
The needles completely swarmed Amber Levine like a puddle of blood.At the same time, a shriek could be heard from the swarming needles.Both the speed and the sound were extremely terrifying.The crowd was utterly shocked when they saw the sight.No wonder Kenna Park was so confident. The move alone was completely on another level!That said, Amber was still quietly observing the needles flying toward her.Kenna froze for a moment before she coldly chuckled.“Did you realize how inferior you are compared to me? Is that why you’re just going to sit there and die?“Smart move! You’ll die a clean death as long as you don’t resist!”Damian Steele was panicking as well.“Do something, Amber! Dodge the attack if you can!” he exclaimed instinctively.Rachel Hardy frowned.“What’s Amber trying to do, Sir York? She’ll lose if she gets hit by those needles!“Doesn’t she know how to counter that move?”Harvey frowned. He also could not fathom what Amber was doing.Right when the c
Kenna Park was on the verge of coughing out blood. She wanted to cry so badly at this moment.Since she was a child, she had always treated herself as an unprecedented genius of hidden weapons the world had never seen before. She truly believed that her skills were unparalleled…But after meeting Amber Levine, she knew what it meant to make a fool out of herself in front of a true expert.Amber did not even need to pull out her best moves. All she did was copy her opponent to beat Kenna. Kenna was utterly embarrassed by the fight.Axel Garcia, who was being extremely confident, crushed the teacup in his hand to dust with a horrible expression on his face.“I could’ve pierced your head with that needle.”Amber showed a warm smile before walking out of the ring.Kenna’s face had lost all color.She knew that Amber was not merely joking.If Amber wanted to, she could have killed Kenna with ease.She could not afford to be stubborn when the opponent spared her life.Besides, the
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
Daichi had already checked the Chapter of Ascension earlier back in Grand City, but he could not leave with it. Only after Harvey gave his green light would Rachel pass the Chapter of Ascension to Daichi.Harvey gave Kenta a look and then pulled out his phone and dialed a number. "Pass him the thing and escort him out."Harvey was straight-faced when he said that. While he had read it through, he did not believe that the Chapter of Ascension would really allow one to reach Unity between Nature and Man. It was not that Harvey was underestimating Hale, but as a martial art elite himself, he knew very well that there were many things required an epiphany to comprehend, and not just some so-called Chapter of Ascension.If that thing was really as effective as people said, Hale would not be hunted for more than a decade. In no time, a few hours went by. Kenta picked up his phone and after listening to the other side, he smiled. "You really are an honest man. Working with you is a very pl
Kenta continued to speak to Harvey in a chatty manner. "Everyone here can see how powerful you are. Unless we can kill you without any doubt, we won't be able to survive your revenge later on. That's why… You can trust me."Harvey looked at Kenta coldly. "Of course you won't be able to kill me. However, I need to make sure Mandy and my men are safe. That's why there's no need to waste your breath here."All you need to do is to give me an answer. Will you come with us? Before we leave, someone will let Daichi examine the Chapter of Ascension. Once we've left Sky Plane for about an hour, that person will then pass the Chapter of Ascension to Daichi. Don't worry. I'm a man of my word."Kenta smiled. "We'll believe you if you're willing to personally guarantee it. It's decided then. I believe we can work well together. Now, let's go."As soon as Kenta finished saying that, he waved his hand. All the Islander elites stepped aside despite the weapons in their hands. This was also a way
Slap!Harvey gave another slap at Jun's face."So what if I did? I'll kill you if you waste anymore of my time!" Before Jun could even finish, Harvey had already grabbed him by his neck. Onmyojis are physically weaker than most, so Jun could not fight back at all while being held like that."You fool! Release Mr. Jun!""Mr. Jun is one of the best among the onmyojis in Sky Plane!""Don't show any disrespect!"All the Islanders roared when they saw Harvey disrespected Jun so much. They quickly drew their long swords and pointed them at Harvey. Dozens of people also started to approach Mandy. Clarion and the others also reacted quickly, protecting Mandy behind them. The atmosphere between both sides became extremely tense in just one moment.Harvey's hand never released Jun's throat as he calmly turned to Kenta and said, "Alright, Kenta. Let's continue the discussion of our three conditions. The first condition is that you must escort us out of Sky Plane and guarantee our safety. A
"You really are very impressive, Kenta. It's quite rare for someone like you to exist within the Fujihara family," commented Harvey after he took a deep breath and loosened his fists. "I have a feeling that someone like you will eventually climb up the ladder. Who knows, you might be the next Island Nation's Emperor."All the Islanders around them had strange looks after they heard what Harvey had just said. Even Kenta's eyes twitched before he replied helplessly, "You're joking, Mr. Harvey. I'm just someone from the branch family. The emperor's throne has always belonged to the main branch and the main branch alone."Then, Kenta changed the subject after that. "Since it sounds like you have a change of mind, does it mean you're willing to fulfill your part of the promise?"Harvey calmly said, "Not exactly. This is just a simple trade, and so is the trade's content. I'll give you the Chapter of Ascension, and you promise three things. That's reasonable…"At this point, the mysterio
Looking at Kenta's expression, Harvey's eyes narrowed. The Islanders could become fanatical most of the time, and he knew that very well from how Kenta was presenting himself. Their people believed in collectivism to the point of radicalism. One single word from their superiors was enough to make them sacrifice themselves and fight to the bitter end, not to mention if they were convinced if it was for the greater good.In short, if he really refused to give them the Chapter of Ascension, then Kenta would really give up on this pretentious act and detonate the Emerald Jewel. However, while the Emerald Jewel could injure him, he knew it could not kill him. But, Mandy and the others were another case entirely. If the Emerald Jewel was detonated, none of them could escape.Harvey frowned, realizing that the situation was getting more complicated."Mr. Harvey, you understand that the Chapter of Ascension isn't worth the lives of the people here. Not to mention if you do manage to obtain
"Firstly, this is Sky Plane. This is the Sacred Martial Art Training Ground for the Island Nation. Based on the promise made between each of the Sacred Training Grounds, we can consider one as hostile if they enter without an invitation. That's why when you barged into this place without invitation and were suspected of murdering the citizens of Sky Plane, we have the right to stop you from leaving the place and investigate."Secondly, Mr. Sora is a citizen of Sky Plane. It is within reason for us to protect his safety. Thirdly, Grand City will need to give us a reasonable explanation for this."And finally, if any of you refuse to cooperate, then according to the laws of Sky Plane's Admin Board, we have the right to kill all the intruders!" said Kenta with a wide grin."I know you're extremely strong, Mr. Harvey. So strong that you're the best here. But the question is, what's the use if you have personal strength in this situation? Even if you can defeat a hundred, can you defeat
