Harvey’s head instantly felt numb. He didn’t dare reply.“Hmph!”Kairi scoffed after seeing the look on his face. She was utterly discontent, but then started to explain the situation.“This place has hundreds of years worth of history. In the past, it was considered to be the most popular place ever.”“When I was a child, I came here to have my fortune told as well.”“It’s a shame the current owner of the place, Reece Foley, wasn’t willing to follow in his family’s footsteps and pursued science instead.”“After his son died of an accident, he returned as a geomancy master since nobody else would take over the position.”“His geomancy arts are nothing compared to his ancestors, though. That was why he was declining.”“Those who came during the recent years were all old customers living down the street.”“They were here either because the place was close by, or to find out their auspicious days without burning a hole in their wallets.”“Because of this, the Fortune Hall soon d
Harvey bowed respectfully, but Reece didn’t even bat an eye at him. The man showed no emotion whatsoever.“I’m not asking for a different price. A hundred and fifty million, take it or leave it.”“Well? Do you want it or not?!”Harvey’s eyes turned cold after hearing Reece’s harsh tone. Reece was probably making it harder for him on purpose.Kairi’s beautiful eyes narrowed for a split second. Then, she smiled. “We’re businessmen, Master Foley. We uphold our promises.”“Honesty wins all, after all.”“But if I remember correctly, the price we agreed upon before was fifteen million.”“Why has it increased tenfold?”“Besides, I know you’ve invited an expert to estimate the price of this place.”“At most, it only costs 12.1 million dollars. It’d also be hard for you to sell it to the right person.”“I already gave you enough respect when I agreed with fifteen million.”“Aren’t you being a little unreasonable for raising the price after we’ve sealed the deal?”Naturally, Kairi
“He’s afraid I’d turn out to be a con man who’ll use Fortune Hall’s name to scam people.”“That’s why he’s trying to scare me with that price.”“If I give him the money, it’ll mean I have no need to scam people since I’m already rich. He’ll be rest assured.”“If I can’t, but I can save his granddaughter, then that’ll mean my geomancy arts are decent. He wouldn’t worry about me using Fortune Hall’s name to do whatever I want.”“In any case, Master Foley’s just being considerate. We should understand him.”“After all, people like him have a bottom line. He wouldn’t do all this just for the sake of money.”Harvey smiled at Reece.The customers there revealed looks of realization upon hearing Harvey’s words.‘No wonder Master Foley changed his attitude all of a sudden. So that’s why!’Kairi nodded, then smiled.Naturally, she was willing to trust Reece’s character.“You’re good at reading minds, kid. That said, you still need to show me real geomancy arts.”“If you’re only good
Reece frowned after hearing Harvey’s words. He wanted to hear what else Harvey had to say.Harvey smiled at the woman.“You should be careful of what you’re wearing next time.”“You’ll have a difficult time if you wear your shirt backwards. It’ll make it harder for you to breathe! You won’t have a good time sleeping at night, either.”“If you keep that in mind, maybe you won’t need forty-nine days to get better sleep.”“Of course, you still need to eat eggs every day.”Everyone froze, then looked at the woman. They all broke into amused smiles soon after.As Harvey had pointed out, the woman’s shirt was worn backwards. It was only natural she’d find it hard to breathe and sleep.Reece became a lot more curious about Harvey. After handing the talisman to the woman, the second customer walked in.This time, it was an eighty-year-old man with messy hair and a gloomy expression. A foul stench could be smelled on him. All who got close to him were completely disgusted.Reece frown
As Harvey went on talking, the customers’ problems were constantly getting solved.Everyone quickly surrounded him, hoping that they would get their turn.Reece, who they completely trusted, was cast aside.Harvey was very fast. Right after listening to the customers’ troubles, he would immediately point out the root causes and ways to fix them.After having their problems dealt with, every single one of the customers left with shocked expressions. More importantly, Harvey would occasionally scribble all sorts of talismans for the customers during the process.People quickly sent word, saying that there was a genius at Fortune Hall.Many elderly women whose daughters weren’t able to get married for many years came for Harvey’s help.Even if there were problems Harvey couldn’t deal with on the spot, he could still give suggestions for the customers to try and use to fix their problems themselves.This was the appearance of a true geomancy expert.All the while, Reece had been
Fortune Hall’s front yard and backyard were connected by a long corridor.Beautiful ponds with fish and flowers could be seen on both sides.The place seemed quite old, but it gave great aesthetic pleasure. Rivers, bridges, gazebos, and artificial mountains filled the entire place.The hot air around seemed to have become a lot more refreshing when the wind blew past. It was quite a comfortable feeling.And in the centermost gazebo, a woman without makeup was sitting there in a white dress and a casual ponytail.She pressed a compass in her hands every once in a while, as if she was calculating something.Many bamboo slips were placed around her. They were all hand-carved, so she could feel the words written on them.Even without eyesight and body strength, her graceful aura could still be felt.Harvey couldn’t help but find her impressive.There had been many beautiful women who were into plastic surgery recently, since it was quite popular…As such, women with poetic charm
“He’s buying this place without money?”Leona froze; she was completely stunned.“What are you saying, Grandfather?”Reece then told Leona everything that had happened.Leona was a smart woman, but she still had her doubts about Harvey.She couldn’t see Harvey’s face, but she could tell that he was a young man judging from his voice and aura.‘A young man like him is better than my grandfather at geomancy?’‘What a joke!’That said, Leona knew Reece wouldn’t acknowledge Harvey if he wasn’t actually capable of anything.A doubtful expression settled on her face.Harvey reached out to her with a small smile. “Hello. I’m Harvey.”Leona politely returned his greeting.“Pleased to meet you, Harvey. Thank you for coming here for me.”“That said, please don’t feel pressured at all. I’m fully prepared.”“I was the one who leaked God’s plans. I deserve this.”Naturally, Leona understood her condition well.“Is that what you think?”Harvey chuckled.“Don’t worry. This is noth
Kairi and the others looked over as well, and saw a group of people walk in from the corridor.Harvey saw a man in a robe leading them. The man was a little skinny; he had quite a handsome face, but he looked arrogant and conceited.At a closer glance, he looked similar to Rodney.The young man nodded after seeing Reece.“Hello, Master Foley.”Even when he was greeting Reece respectfully, the arrogant look on his face remained.“Did you get someone from Aeon Hall here?”Reece narrowed his eyes and studied the young man before him.“Are you Master Foster’s grandchild, Castiel?”Castiel smiled.“You have a good memory, sir. I didn’t think you’d remember me after we met only once many years ago.”Harley smiled.“Castiel’s a good friend of mine, Uncle.”“In Golden Sands, his geomancy arts are second to none!”“More importantly, his studies have skyrocketed recently.”“I put a great deal of effort into getting him to come here!”Harley turned to Leona. “You should let Yo
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
