“You’re so nice to me, Xynthia! You made me so happy, too!” Harlem said.“Since that’s the case, there’s something I have to tell you.”Harlem, who was now half-drunk, undid a button off his shirt. He leered at Xynthia with a perverted look. “In my eyes, you’re pretty experienced. Your resume’s great, too!“Still, Golden Sands Bank’s resources are just too tempting!“When the movie’s done, it’ll be broadcasted all over Country H.“No matter who it is, the female lead of the movie will definitely blow up!“Normally speaking, there would be tons of people trying to get the spot. You wouldn’t even get your turn!“But that’s fine. I have a lot of influence in the Golden Studios!“If I want to, even the studio’s owner will show me respect!“And if you get the role, your fame will skyrocket! Maybe you’ll be in Hollywood for an award after two years!”While Harlem was busy talking, his lackey brought out a bottle of wine. The stench of his hormones was apparent, but nobody knew wh
“Let me tell you something!” Harlem went on.“With just one word from me, you can be the female lead!”Harlem showed a smug expression, as if he had unlimited resources.“You may not know this, but the owner of Golden Studios is none other than the wife of Golden Sands Bank’s owner, Lola Hoffman.”“I have a pretty good relationship with her, too!”“She treats me like her own little brother!”“She’ll listen to whatever I say!”“You’ve all heard of Leona Foley, right?”“That young lady wanted to be in the entertainment industry, but she had no acting talent.”“That was why I asked to make her the chief geomancy expert of another company under Mrs. Hoffman, the Golden Estate.”“All she did was talk about house layouts, but she was able to get more than a hundred and fifty thousand dollars in just a month!”“This is the extent of my power!”Harlem’s smug look grew.Imani, Kenzie, and Dayla froze. Then, they screamed in disbelief and admiration.“Are you that powerful, Mr. Lee
Harvey was never interested in people like Harlem. Still, he couldn’t help but laugh and feel sympathy after seeing Harlem make a fool out of himself.After all, there were only a few people in the world who could bluff this hard.“You’re so awesome, Mr Lee!” Imani gushed.She looked at Harlem admiringly. “I’m not asking for Hollywood, Mr. Lee! I just want a small award!”“Mr. Lee! I want to be the leader of an idol group!”“Mr. Lee! I want to be a singer! I want to make a few hit songs!”The women all flocked toward Harlem, as if they wanted to melt into his body.The men watched, thirsty for the same experience.All eyes were locked onto Harlem.After all, his strength was perfectly demonstrated the moment the women decided to swarm him.That said, he had no interest in them; he had already slept with all these women. They were nothing to him.However, nobody in the industry had ever slept with a goddess like Xynthia—let alone him.Legends said that she was backed up by
“You better know what’s best for you, Xynthia!” he snarled. “You’re drinking no matter what! As for you!”Harlem glared at Harvey.“Filth like you has no right to talk in a place like this!“Either you stand on the side like the good live-in son-in-law you are, or you get the f*ck out of here!”Since she was caught in a tough spot, Xynthia tried to mediate the situation.“I can drink this, Mr. Lee. No need to make it harder for Harvey…”“What’s the point of saying all that now, Xynthia?”Harlem’s face darkened; he naturally planned to chase Harvey out before anything else.“Let me tell you something, kid! You only got the chance to sit here and drink such expensive wine because of Xynthia!“If that wasn’t the case, you wouldn’t have that right—even if you work for eight different lifetimes!“A peasant using his sister-in-law’s reputation should know his place before coming here!“At least have some self-awareness, alright?“If there weren’t a lot of people here—if I didn’t
Any person could tell that the man with a buzz cut was not to be messed with.Harlem’s anger instantly vanished. He was a little scared, and his body trembled. He had a bit of strength in Golden Sands, but he was no match against a clearly prominent figure.Harlem’s lackey saw a bunny girl in the crowd, and his expression changed instantly. He had seen her when he was getting the Ace of Spades before. He could tell she had a little too much to drink.After seeing her exquisite face and alluring figure, he dragged her to the restroom and tried to take advantage of her. She seemed cooperative at first, but she was completely infuriated when he couldn’t even last a single minute.When she said she was going to settle the scores sooner or later, the lackey didn’t put those words to heart. He thought she was just angry because of embarrassment.He didn’t think she would actually bring her people here.He quietly stepped back, his legs slowly getting limp.“Who are you people?”Har
Xynthia’s eyes twitched when she saw all this happen. She had experienced much, but her instincts were still repulsed by the sight of violence.Harvey smiled at her and held her hand, giving her comfort.The man with a buzz cut grabbed a few more beer bottles and smashed them all on the lackey’s head, cracking his head to the point his face was completely covered in blood.The man then clapped his hands, signaling for the others to take a turn after he was done.Harlem, who had been constantly boasting about his own strength, watched with frantically twitching his eyes. He had no courage to stop the situation.“My lackey has done the wrong thing! He deserves to get beaten up like this!”Harlem gritted his teeth and took a step forward, trying to save his lackey from the verge of death.“That said, you should stop while you’re ahead. He belongs to Country J, after all.”“He has diplomatic immunity!”“If he dies here, we’ll all get in trouble!”Harlem still had a bit of coura
Harlem’s body shivered the moment he heard that name.“You’re…” he said, shocked. “You’re from the Hermit Family… You’re Young Master Bolton!”Simply put, Kade was Azrael’s son.Imani, Kenzie, and Dayla were completely unfamiliar with Kade, but they knew that Azrael was basically the king of Golden Sands. Since Kade was Azrael’s son, his status and influence in the city were apparent.Realizing that fact, a chill ran down Imani and everyone else’s spine. Not only did they get in deep trouble, but they had no good way of getting out of it either.If they were slightly careless, they’d lose their lives in an instant.At this moment, they were clearly nervous.The six Hermit Families of Golden Sands were extraordinary beings, after all.Only Harvey was looking curiously at Kade with narrowed eyes. The man did look quite like Azrael… But he was just too arrogant!Harlem was now shivering in his boots. “Are you Mr. Bolton’s son?”“Oh? I didn’t think that a high and mighty man from
Kade tapped Harlem’s face before speaking up.“I’ll give you a chance…”“All the men, grovel and get out of here.”“All the women, stay.”Imani and the others were horrified; they knew they’d suffer soon enough.“You’re crossing the line!”“We’ll call the cops!”Harlem’s lackey gritted his teeth; groveling and leaving the women here would ruin his reputation completely. Before he could take out his phone, one of Kade’s men walked up and snapped his arm.“Aaagh!”Screams of pain could be heard, catching everyone’s attention.Under Kade’s command, the others walked and beat everyone from Country J to the ground.Kade stepped up, and raised Imani’s chin. He smiled.“Not bad. You look pretty good. I’ll have a good time with you…”Imani was panicking. She was from the entertainment industry, and she wasn’t an innocent lady. However, men who craved her would have to pursue her for a long time before they could get their hands on her. It was her first time seeing someone as a
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
