“Is that so?”Harvey York calmly looked at Danny Burton indifferently.“How are you planning to fight me then?”Danny wretchedly chuckled.“Before we do, let me introduce myself first.“I am Danny Burton. I come from the Celestial Temple.”Harvey frowned.“I know.”“No, you don’t!Danny chuckled further.“Not only am I from the Celestial Temple, but my father was also the one who invented the Life Elixir!“Before he died, he gave the formula to the Celestial Temple, but he only gave me the antidote!“Simply put, only I know how to save Amber Levine and the others! If you don’t admit defeat right now, those three are dead for sure!“Don’t you love your country, Harvey?“Aren’t you close to those three?“Come on! Give up already!”“Where did you get the confidence that you can threaten me with the antidote?“Even if I’m actually stupid, there’s no way I’d lose the war for those three young talents now, right?”“You will!” replied Danny coldly.“Since I have the formula
“Impossible! Impossible!Danny Burton’s eyes were bright red before Harvey York could even finish his sentence.“She wouldn’t sell me out! She wouldn’t!“Enough tricks! Do you think I’d believe you?!”“How are you so sure that the one you love won’t betray you?Harvey showed a faint smile.“You and I both know bootlickers always end up in a horrible mess.“For example, your dear crush already exposed your big show.“Do you think you can still win after that?”Harvey took a few steps closer before patting Danny’s face with a playful look.“Fine! Since you make it sound so convincing, why don’t you tell me who that is then?!”“The Maiden of India, Zoe Garcia, of course.”Danny froze after hearing those words.Then, he instinctively glanced over at Zoe when she seemed a little odd.He then furiously grabbed Harvey’s collar.“What did you do to her, you b*stard?!”“Nothing much. I only promised to give her 1.5 billion along with half of my assets in Flutwell.“She wouldn’t
“What are they doing? Why are they talking while pulling each other’s clothes? Why do they have to be this close?”“Are they making some kind of trade?”“Just fight already! What’s the hold-up?!”“Do you think Harvey York’s going to win this match or what?”The crowd could not help but gossip with each other when they saw the two still talking in the ring.While the people from Country H were perplexed, the Indians looked at each other before showing prideful smiles.They knew exactly what Danny Burton was about to do.It was an underhanded tactic, but it was the best move against a patriotic man like Harvey.As for Harvey’s way to break the game, the Indians laughed at him for bringing up Zoe Garcia.Harvey tried to cause infighting with something like this already…But he still tried again anyway.‘Does he think that the mighty Indians are stupid or something?’The host walked to the edge of the ring and coldly exclaimed, “Second match! Begin!”Danny wretchedly chuckled
After seeing Harvey York was standing still without even fighting back…Danny Burton thought his plan had succeeded when he saw Harvey standing frozen stiff. At this moment, his face was showing a prideful look.Then, he sized up Harvey for a moment before he exclaimed, “He’s fine. Your top talent doesn’t have the strength…“But at least he knows that himself.“He knows that he’s no match against me. That’s why he decided not to!“Don’t blame him when he gets out of the ring later!“He’s your country’s top talent, after all!”At this point, Danny was being extremely cocky.Not only did he want Harvey dead, but he also wanted Harvey’s reputation crushed!Danny intentionally shifted his gaze toward Zoe at this moment.After seeing her faint smile, Danny felt exhilarated.Not only was he able to defeat Harvey, but he would also manage to secure the win for his country and be highly praised for it.More importantly, he’d surely have Zoe’s heart after cutting Harvey down.Fame,
The representatives of the Martial Arts Alliance and the crowd were shocked when they looked at Danny Burton.A lot of people showed satisfied looks on their faces.This was the expert they were expecting.Not only was he extremely dominant, but he also knew exactly which side he was on.More importantly, an otherwise dull game became so exciting when Danny hyped it up with his words.The crowd was going crazy when he announced that he was going to defeat Harvey with a single blow and end the meaningless fight.He looked just like the experts in the movies, only missing some background music to cheer him on.Safe to say that Danny seemed extremely powerful and handsome at this moment.Clap clap clap!“Danny! Danny!”Thunderous applause could be heard, along with countless people screaming with excitement.Even the people of Country H showed weird looks when they saw the sight.Right as the crowd was admiring Danny, Rachel Hardy gestures to Harvey York, signaling that everyt
Slap!“A top talent from India?“Are you threatening me with the Life Elixir?“And you’re telling me not to fight back?”“Who do you think you are?”Harvey York relentlessly insulted Danny Burton while constantly slapping him around. Danny’s face was utterly swollen when he kept grunting in pain.Slap!“I already told you.“Tricks like this won’t work against me.“Why won’t you just listen?“Can’t you people just have a fair fight?“Are you really that scared of me?“Just kneel if you are, then.“Why are you showing off in front of me when you’re actually this weak in the first place?“Do you think you have the right to do that?”Danny was furiously grunting when his face was completely covered in blood.He was one of India’s top talents. A genius from the Celestial Temple!He had always excelled in martial arts compared to the people the same age as him. Anyone would seem like dust in front of him!He was still showing off his dominance and strength in the ring just
“Danny Burton! You b*stard!“How can you just kneel like that?!“You’re a mighty Kshatriya!“You can’t kneel!”After seeing Danny slam his knees to the ground, Axel Garcia quickly came to his senses before furiously jumping out of his seat.The other top Indian talents were showing horrible expressions as their eyes twitched. They could not believe what was happening before their eyes.A high and mighty Kshatriya was a superior being. How could someone like that even kneel to such a lowly person?Even if they were to kneel, it would be in front of Brahmins.This was utter humiliation to India!Clyde Osborne and Rhea Osborne were utterly stunned.They could not fathom how Harvey managed to break through the situation. He did not even care about the people’s safety at all.Fisher Benett and Damian Steele heaved a long sigh of relief after seeing the sight.Bryce Kennedy showed a complex expression on his face, as if he had realized something.Sienna Wright sat up straight. A
Clyde Osborne, Rhea Osborne, Elliot John, Harold Bauer, and the others were showing horrible expressions after seeing Harvey York getting such a dramatic win.No matter how unnatural they felt, they had no other choice but to stand up and clap.Fisher Benett, Morgan Johnson, and Damian Steele were naturally in high spirits.“I do want to see if anyone else will call Harvey a traitor after two straight wins!”“Right! If that man is a traitor, then nobody in this world actually loves their country anymore!”“They’d either have motives, or they’re just outright insane! Nobody else would think that he’s a traitor!”“Country H’s top talents are invincible!”While the crowd was gossiping up a storm, Axel Garcia led the Indians and left the place with horrible expressions.There was one more match to be fought, but both sides were allowed to take a four-hour break before that.While Zoe Garcia was heading out with Axel, she could not help but do a double take.Harvey’s strength and
"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
"Mr. Harvey, I know how powerful you are and how invincible you can be. I also have a lot of respect toward you and wouldn't dare show you any insolence," explained Kenta with a harmonious smile. "However, I need to negotiate with you as it's part of my duties. I hope you can calm down so we can talk."First of all, Ms. Mandy is alright. While it looks like you have to come and save her, you need to trust me when I said if it's not for our effort, the men from Origin Sword Style wouldn't have waited until today. With their powers, if we didn't try and stop them with everything we can, Ms. Mandy would be a corpse now. You have to give credit where credit is due, don't you think? I believe someone of your caliber won't deny it, right?"Secondly, I can swear by the name of the Ruling Royal Family that everything that happened today had nothing to do with us. Since we have decided to make a trade with you, we won't stab you in the back. Our conscience is clear when it's regarding this."
