“More importantly, I’m Flutwell’s provincial champion.”“I never lost against the Indians either.”“At least give me a reason as to why you don’t want me to fight.”Harvey raised his doubts; he didn’t want Longmen to be made fun of without any reason.Rhea squinted at Harvey, and then chuckled coldly.“We all know you’re the provincial champion. We know you’re a strong fighter too. We were looking forward to seeing you in the ring…”“But we just don’t trust you anymore.”“And since we wouldn’t want to use someone we don’t trust, we’d rather give the chance to somebody else.”“Everyone can rest assured if that’s the case.”“You don’t trust me?”Harvey narrowed his eyes.“Why don’t you make it clearer for me instead?”Rhea scoffed.“How do you still not understand?”“I really don’t. If you can actually convince me, I’ll resign on my own volition.”Harvey replied with a cold glare.“But if you can’t, you’ll have to leave immediately.”“You don’t have a say in Longmen’s ma
Rhea chuckled.“We didn’t say that you were bribed, Harvey!”“We didn’t say that you betrayed the country either!”“After all, we still acknowledge you as a prominent figure here.”“But you need to understand. For the safety of the country, we can’t allow you to be in the ring!”“Think about this: Amber and the talents were poisoned immediately after you met with Zoe! A hundred and fifty million dollars were transferred to your card as well!”“Tell anyone on the street about this, and they’ll say that you’re untrustworthy!”“For the sake of the bigger picture, you won’t be getting into the ring today.”“We’ll investigate the situation further before saying anything more.”“There are still fourteen fighters left; even if they’re no match against the remaining Indians, we still have time until the fifth day!”“We should be able to make everything clear in the next four days.”“This isn’t a request, Harvey—this is an order!”“I don’t care what you think; we only want to know w
At that, Fisher froze.“What on earth do you mean?”“Surely they can figure out just how many assets I have in Flutwell.”“Do they honestly think the Indians can buy me with just a hundred and fifty million?”“What a joke!”“Besides, I already took Cody out of the picture. No matter how you look at it, the Indians would never take me in, even if I’m stupid enough to accept their offer.”“It may look like they’re trying to get me on their side, but it’s all just a heinous trick.”“They only said that it was risky for me to fight because there’s someone behind the scenes trying to suppress me.”“After Amber and all the young talents defeated the top talents from India, the Indians came to realize they weren’t as strong as we initially thought.”“On the one hand, they don’t want me to be involved in such a crucial time so I don’t have a chance to become the final victor. That way, I wouldn’t have a chance to be appointed as the young master of Longmen.”“Out of the fourteen figh
Harvey quietly left Flutwell’s Peak soon after.For him, Rhea and the others to come out at such a crucial time wasn’t something so bad.At the very least, he finally found some time to save Amber and the young talents.The Life Elixir was a strange medicine, but it couldn’t be considered poison.The best way to save the three was for them to wake up naturally.According to Harvey’s deductions, even if the woman soaked her fingers in the Life Elixir for an entire day, the effects would be minimal.But since there was time now, Harvey would naturally try to wake up Amber and the others on his own.And so, he got Rudolph and his team to empty the three talent’s stomachs before providing them with IVs.He then poked at various parts of their bodies to stimulate their vitality.A whole day passed.Harvey left the young talents, completely exhausted. Just then, Rachel, who was still in Flutwell’s Peak, called him.The call didn’t matter; Harvey already knew what was going to happ
In just an hour, Harvey’s reputation plummeted and he became no different than a street rat.Many people gathered around Martial Hall, throwing rotten vegetables and eggs all over the place.If it wasn’t for Ansel summoning the police, the entire place would’ve been trashed.Even so, Harvey was still insulted relentlessly.People were either threatening to rip him to shreds, or demanding him to leave Country H immediately.Safe to say, Harvey was blamed for every single loss since the last four days.The provincial champions who had been beaten up and were insulted before, were now dubbed as the real heroes by the people.They believed the champions knew they were completely powerless against Zoe and the others…That the champions knew Harvey poisoned the young talents…Yet, the champions still fought with all their might against such odds!This was the unyielding courage everyone wanted to see!Layne, Kayden, and Harvey’s people were infuriated; they turned on their laptops
Regan narrowed her eyes without saying a word. Suddenly, she kicked the door of the Martial Hall open.Two beautiful female disciples stood beside her. They immediately spotted Harvey.“That’s him, Senior Green! That’s Harvey York!”“He’s the one who poisoned our junior and the other two young talents!”“Our reputation is completely ruined because of him!”“If we keep losing, Longmen will become the traitor of the entire nation!”“This b*stard is the one who caused all this!”The disciples kept insulting Harvey while gritting their teeth; they wanted to rip Harvey to shreds so badly.The crowd outside was showing glee upon seeing what was happening. ‘How dare this b*stard conspire with the enemy for his own gains?! He deserves to be dealt with by the Longmen Warband!’The inspectors in charge of maintaining the order were watching with bright eyes; they didn’t bother stopping the entire commotion.Harvey could be seen sipping his tea in the middle of the large hall.He put
Harvey looked curiously at the disciples infuriated for their junior, not giving a straight answer.It was a good thing for them to stand up for Philip. At least they were full of spirit…However, it was enough to show how stupid they were for being so easily used.Regan’s expression worsened after seeing Harvey’s mocking look.“If you don’t want to die here, then you better explain everything properly!” she exclaimed after taking another step forward.“If not, you won’t get a chance to get out of here alive!”“Let me tell you something! Only the Longmen Warband would be this reasonable right now!”“The Dark Hall and the Five Outer Halls will just take you out without a single word!”“We’re giving you a chance to explain yourself! Do you understand me?”“That said, it doesn’t mean that you’re allowed to show off!”“Stop pretending to be deaf and mute already! Fess up!”“Kneel and explain yourself!”“If you still won’t do it, then don’t blame us for what happens next!”Rega
Layne ignored the disciple and walked calmly toward Harvey.“Do you not understand me?!”The disciple was furious.Longmen Warband had a reputation to uphold!Yet, this many people were disrespecting them.“Senior Green! This woman is a disciple of the Golden Palace’s outer circle, Layne Naiswell. She’s that b*stard’s bodyguard!”“Layne Naiswell?”Regan chuckled coldly.“The legendary disciple of Golden Palace’s outer circle?”“Impressive! I’ll make sure to cripple you for being on Harvey’s side!”“Sir York.”Layne poured Harvey a cup of tea, still ignoring Regan and the others completely.“We’ve investigated the situation. These young’uns came here of their own volition.”“The master of the Longmen Warband might not know about this.”“At the end of the day, they’re only standing up for their junior. They’re a bit reckless, but it’s not their fault.”“We should just let them go.”Layne tried persuading Harvey. She admired Regan and the others coming here for Philip’s sa
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
