“If we’re going to give them another chance because of this, we can also assume that all the provincial champions from our side lost because they were bought off.”“We’d be able to get more people to join if that’s the case, right?’“But what’s the point? We won’t be able to finish the damn fight even after three whole years!”“Zoe is the Maiden of India too!”“Since she thinks she’s inferior compared to Harvey and admitted defeat, then that should’ve been it.”“That’s her choice!”“We can’t just rob her of that!”“Besides, if we’re really going to investigate anything, shouldn’t we start with the young talents’ poisoning first?”“If there’s not even an order to this, how do you suppose we can remain impartial?”Sienna’s words weren’t that powerful, but they dealt a huge blow.Not only did she suppress the Indians, but she also made it so that the representatives wouldn’t dare cross the line, even if they were already biased.Just like Sienna said, the young talents’ poisoni
“Right as Sienna was about to say something in response, Harvey slowly walked toward the VIP guests with a smile on his face.“Princess Wright, there’s no point talking to Representative Osborne.”“Hmmm?”Sienna and the crowd froze, and looked at him oddly. ‘Can’t he tell that Princess Wright was trying to reason for his sake?’Harvey ignored everyone’s gaze and said, “Some people just can’t stand on their own two feet after serving others.”“They wouldn’t understand why our great country doesn’t need other people’s approval.”“You think they’re allies?”“What a damn joke!”“Of course they’ll say that when we’re strong. As soon as we’re weak, they’ll stab us in the back instantly!”“This is the only acknowledgment we’ll get.”“For example, Representative Osborne has been looking down on me the entire time. She has no choice but to do that, right?”Harvey slapped Rhea aside before she could react.He then looked around him and said, “Ask her if she’s satisfied now.”“Aaag
“According to the rules, Harvey wins!”Ten minutes later, a few members of the Martial Arts Alliance and the host walked into the ring.“The fight between Longmen and India has come to an end!”“After days of fierce battles, the Indians were completely defeated—Longmen wins!”“According to the rules, every Martial Arts Alliance will be informed of Harvey and Country H’s win!”Loud applause could be heard, and the crowd was in an uproar.The people of Country H were thrilled.This meant that the talk about India having superior martial arts was just utter nonsense.At the same time, this meant that the martial arts of Country H was on a higher level on a global scale.“No! We won’t accept this!” the Indians cried.“This is rigged! Rigged!”“I won fair and square. You clowns have no right to say things like that.”Harvey glanced calmly at the Indians.“The three greatest Martial Arts Alliances in the world are in charge of this fight. The entire process is completely imparti
Harvey smiled faintly while he watched Axel jumping up and down in anger.“I’ve already crushed you people.”“As the person who challenged Longmen with so many people and tricks under your belt, not only did you not win, but you also didn’t manage to kill me either. How are you supposed to report this to the royal family?”“If I’m guessing correctly, you probably have to smash your head open right in front of the royal palace to keep your family alive.”“Since you’re already a dead man, why would I fight you?”“Are you even worthy?”“You b*stard…”Axel didn’t think that Harvey would have seen through him completely. “Well, you’ll be famous if you win against me!”“You can tell the whole world that you beat me with your own strength, and not through petty tricks!”“If I can’t beat you in one move, I’ll slam my head on the ground right now!”“You don’t think you can actually defend yourself against me, do you?”“Or do you think you’ll embarrass your entire country if I actua
“Fine. A gentleman never goes back on his word.”Harvey smiled calmly. Then, he turned around and clapped in front of everyone.“Please, everyone. Be quiet.”“Just now, one of the three Demon Monks, Master Axel Garcia, struck a deal with me.”“He wants to trade a single move with me.”“If he wins, I’ll have to announce that I’m completely inferior against him.”“But if he loses, he’ll have to give me his phone that’s filled with his little secrets.”“Please don’t leave the ring for the time being. Let’s all witness this fight together!”The people who were about to leave were exhilarated.Every single match that happened on this day was more intense than the last.Even though Harvey and Zoe’s fight was a little anticlimactic…The fights were still exciting overall.Everyone grew interested when Harvey announced that there would be another match.On one side, the champion of Country H…On the other side, one of the three Demon Monks…Everyone wanted to see who was stronge
“He won?”“Harvey won again?”“That Demon Monk’s no good either! He couldn’t even take a single hit against Harvey!”“And now, he’s telling us that India’s martial arts are superior? What a joke!”“I used to think they were good! Now that I look closely, they’re just useless filth!”Upon hearing the gossip, Axel’s eyes twitched. He finally got back off the ground; there was an extremely horrible look on his face.“Who are you?! How did you just slap me like that?!” he asked, glaring furiously at Harvey.Axel knew he had the strength of a God of War.The only reason he was slapped aside that easily was because Harvey was also one!But… When did Country H even get such a young God of War?“It’s not that I’m strong. You’re just weak,” Harvey replied calmly.“Do you really think India’s martial arts are superior?”“Do you really think you can just come out here and show off after practicing your lame moves?”“Let me tell you something right now…”“There will always be someone
Harvey looked at Axel as if he was looking at a complete idiot. He sighed.“Do you think I’m as dumb as you? Why would I even do something so obvious in the first place?” he said.“All I did was get another card with the money inside.”“I already gave Zoe the card when we met inside the restaurant.”“I wrote the password when I was holding her hand, too.”“All she needed to do was to check on her phone to see the money inside.”“You people said that you wanted to give me this and that, but what happened? All you have are empty promises.”“I was different; I gave her money she’d never be able to make her entire life.”“Tell me, don’t you think she’d be moved after having so much money in her hands?”Axel sighed.“I’d be moved too…”“So-called loyalty only happens when the price to betray isn’t met yet,” Harvey said calmly.“Not only did I give her the money, I promised to give her half of the Martial Hall’s shares as well.”“It’d be surprising if she didn’t come to me.”“S
“I’ve lost! I’ve lost completely!”After seeing the Indians filled with utter despair…After seeing his allies with horrible expressions…After seeing Zoe sitting quietly in the east resting area with the people who bought her off…Axel burst out laughing.He finally knew what it meant to be forced into a corner!He looked at the sky facing India’s direction, before slamming his head on the ground.He then raised his hand before swinging it right on top of his head.Bam!The crowd fell into an uproar when they saw Axel fall.The Indians began to panic.Harvey ignored Axel’s sorry state and covered his face with a piece of tissue. After leaving Axel with the last bit of dignity, he then turned around and left.After heading back to the Martial Hall, Rachel, Layne, Kayden, and the other instructors, along with everyone else, started cheering happily.They already had a banquet prepared as a celebration; a lot of students from the Martial Hall were invited as well. It was qui
"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
Mandy was a little startled, then looked at Harvey with a strange look. "You're in such a rush to get rid of me? Don't tell me you really want to be the mayor's son-in-law? I've been here less than a day, and there are already plenty of people warning me about you becoming one."Harvey rolled his eyes. "Don't listen to their nonsense. If I really wanted to be his son-in-law, I wouldn't have gone to save you.""Then why are you in such a rush to send me away?"Harvey sighed. "There are really some things that are beyond my abilities. Let's use what happened this time with Clarion as an example. It's true that I let him take the glory, but after doing that, Dan now considers me an enemy and a thorn in his side. "As a member of the Top Ten Families, you have some understanding of him, don't you? Since he can't deal with me effectively, he'll definitely start with you. The reason I'm asking you to leave is for your own safety."Mandy clicked her tongue. "If Dan really wants to do
Emery slowly flipped and opened the Chapter of Ascension. The Chapter itself was old, written with small letters. Accompanied the original texts were notes and some insights.Emery only believed a portion of the rumors regarding the Chapter of Ascension. After reading through the notes and personal reflections, he could ascertain that the Chapter of Ascension was genuine.What was written inside the Chapter of Ascension was indeed capable of completely changing a martial artist's way of thinking.As he read through it, Emery was already subconsciously trying to test and start training by following what was recorded within the Chapter of Ascension. He had just started to let the energy inside of him flow, but had already noticed that his power, that reached a bottleneck for some time, started to have a breakthrough.In just an instant, Emery could already feel somewhat stronger. It was only a small amount, but it was enough to excite him. It meant that the Chapter of Ascension w
The Wright residence, Wolsing.When Janus got out of a Rolls-Royce Cullinan, it was around midnight. He looked around carefully before quickly entering a courtyard within the residence, holding a wooden box.He walked through the corridors with full familiarity and entered a study.Emery, the Number One Young Master of Wolsing, was quietly holding a piece of gemstone, brushing it against his thumb.Janus didn't run in. Instead, he waited until Emery was done looking at the gemstone before entering. "Good evening, sir."Emery raised his head and glanced at Janus. "So? Did you get it?"Janus smiled. "Is there anything in this world you want that we can't get for you?"He carefully put the small box on the coffee table and smiled."While Harvey and that idiot Hale are all quite good," he said, "they're all pawns playing to your tune. This time, with Daichi working for us and Sky Plane suffering such a huge loss, we finally have it in our hands. If those monsters from Sky Plane kne
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
