“The Torres family?”Harvey froze.“What does this have to do with the Torres family?”“There’s something you don’t know, Sir York,” George said quietly.“After Elder Colton retired, he became a nominal leader of Country H’s Martial Arts Alliance. This was why his status was still exceptionally high in Flutwell after his retirement.”Harvey was surprised; he didn’t think Colton would have a title like that.“That said, Country H’s Martial Arts Alliance is just an alliance for the sacred martial arts training grounds. It seems like an organization on the outside, but in reality, the sacred martial arts training grounds have control of it.”“Elder Torres barely has any authority. The authority is split up between the vice leaders of the sacred martial arts training grounds here.”“Now that this is happening, there are a lot of people in the Martial Arts Alliance with their own motives. This had led them to conspire with our enemies from outside.”“Everyone is now dragging Elder
Colton told his secretary and assistant to lead the way to the Underground Eatery downstairs.The receptionist smiled after seeing Colton.“Welcome, Elder Torres. You look as vigorous as usual!”“Same thing today?’Colton smiled.“That’s right. I’ll take the Heavenly Box. Bring me your signature dish and wine too.”Colton then smiled at Harvey.“There aren’t a lot of dishes here, but all of them are the best of the best! You should try them.”Harvey smiled; he was about to say something when he heard a faint chuckle from behind.“Aren’t you Elder Torres?”“What a coincidence! You’re a little late though.”“I’m sorry, but we’ve already booked for the Heavenly Box.”Harvey instinctively turned around. He saw a man in a yellow robe, surrounded by several people. An old familiar face was right beside him as well.It was Clyde!Harvey stared curiously; he didn’t think Clyde would dare show up in front of him.Since Harvey wasn’t the main attraction and Clyde didn’t say anythi
“Enough! Do you think you have the right to speak here?” Dane exclaimed, taking a step forward.“Where are your manners?”“Did you forget everything I’ve taught you?”“Leader Torres wouldn’t dare fight us for the Heavenly Box if we just say so!”“However, you don’t have to say it like that!”“How is Leader Torres going to feel about this?!”“You’ll reflect on this when we get back!”After scolding the secretary, Dane looked at Colton with a small smile.“Sorry, Colton. My secretary’s just a little too straightforward. Please don’t mind her!”He then glared coldly at the secretary.“Are you still not apologizing?”The secretary crossed her arms after hearing those words.“I’m so sorry, Leader Torres.”“It’s fine. Don’t worry about it.”“It’s not your fault you weren’t taught well. A filthy mouth can’t utter decent words, after all.”“Of course you wouldn’t know how to behave when you’ve been living in the gutter your entire life.”Colton’s face was expressionless; he was
“Since Clyde is the prince of the Osborne family, then he’s naturally a citizen here.”“Will he do anything bad to the country just because he can’t have a simple meal?”“Maybe the rumors are true after all. Maybe the four great Martial Arts Alliances banded together against us because of him.”“If that truly is the case, then I’ll make sure to investigate the situation further.”“I’m not afraid to tell you this either, Dane.”“You people from Golden Palace are getting a little close to the Indians right now. Best make sure you don’t let me find anything.”“If I do find anything, you won’t get away with it!”Colton turned around and made a gesture to invite Harvey into the box.“We’re taking this box,” he exclaimed coldly.“I’m sorry, Leader Torres. This box is already occupied!”A beautiful woman with a slender body, clad in a black uniform, walked out and stopped Colton in his tracks.“What’s the meaning of this, Sophia?” Colton demanded, his tone ice. The woman was the
“But we can’t just let this slide!” Colton exclaimed.“Of course.”Harvey smiled, and then looked at the receptionist.“You heard what Sophia said; the meal’s on the house.”The receptionist had a disdainful look on her face; she didn’t think that Harvey and the others would still eat here after being utterly disrespected.Even so, she still gave them a faint smile.“If you’re still willing to eat here, please come this way.”“No need!”Harvey smiled at her before making a call.“Get ten pickup trucks here. I’m taking all the food away.”An hour later, Sophia walked out of the Heavenly Box with Dane and Clyde, whose stomachs were full of wine and food.Judging by their appearances, they had quite a lot to drink.When the receptionist saw everyone come out, she hurriedly jogged over and handed over a receipt .“This is Leader Torres’s spending, Vice Leader Benett. They thanked you for your hospitality before they left.”The receptionist was sweating profusely.“They actua
Even though they had successfully disrespected Colton, they had to pay four million and three hundred thousand dollars for it.It would be hard to actually tell who was being disrespected here!More importantly, Dane felt that he was the one who asked for this.‘This is embarrassing! This is unforgivable!’Many were shocked to see Dane inside Colton’s room.Several workers from the Martial Arts Alliance came over nosily.“Calm down, Vice Leader Benett. You have a pretty high blood pressure, so please don’t get angry.”“If you get a stroke and die, it’ll be bad luck for everyone here.”“Leader Torres likes this office a lot. He won’t be able to use it if that’s the case.”Harvey looked calmly at Dane while he sipped his tea.“Another thing. What happened before had nothing to do with Leader Torres. I was the one who got the workers to take everything.”“I was thinking of a way to reward them, too. Thank you for your generosity, Vice Leader Benett.”“My subordinates were very
“That said, you kicked the door down and started jumping around the place before we could even talk about anything.”“People who know understand you’re angry because you can’t afford to treat us to a meal…”“But people who don’t might just think that you’re on the Indians’ side.”“Let me warn you, Vice Master Benett. You better keep your voice down.”“If not, all the responsibility might just shift toward you.”Harvey flashed Dane a playful look.“You sharp-tongued b*stard! What else can you do besides talk?!”Dane was furious. He wanted to slap Harvey to death so badly.That said, he knew that he was no match against Harvey. He couldn’t simply lash out in public either.Dane took a deep breath to calm himself down.He would’ve had a stroke if he didn’t.“Vice Leader Benett, there’s no point running your mouth over such a trivial matter.”“Why don’t you talk about your deal with Clyde instead?”“We gave you the Heavenly Box. Don’t tell me you two haven’t talked about anyth
“Don’t you think the demands are a little too cruel, Vice Leader Benett?”Harvey nodded.“If we accept those conditions, all martial artists in Country H will lose their dignity.”“How are we supposed to stand up straight in the future?”“They’re even bringing in supervisors to get a hold of every single one of the Martial Arts Alliance’s files and documents…”“How are we supposed to function on our own in the future?”“Besides, if I actually give them everything I’ve learned, they’ll use it against the Martial Arts Alliance. Next thing we know, they’ll get everything from the sacred martial arts training grounds.”“You’re a smart man, Vice Leader Benett. Can’t you see that the four great Martial Arts Alliances are trying to break us?”Harvey slowly revealed the risks of the demands calmly.There were three conditions targeted toward Harvey, but in actuality, this was just a test.If Country H were to surrender, then the four great Martial Arts Alliances would have ways to ma
"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
