“If you people are really that impressive, then show the rest of your cards already! Win the fight!“Convince me that I lost, and I’ll even avoid you people when I see you!“But if not, I’m afraid you’ll have to do everything as I say.”Kairi Patel showed a cold expression. She was just about to lash out…But at this very moment, her secretary’s body trembled before picking up her phone.The secretary showed a horrible expression when she hung up.“This is bad, Ms. Patel!” she exclaimed bitterly.“Our remaining four experts were poisoned… They died at the same time.“We… We don’t have anyone else left to fight.”Kairi froze before she gritted her teeth with a fierce glare.“You shameless b*stard!”“Ms. Patel! You can’t just say that for no reason!“You don’t even have any proof that I did it!“Come! Let me guess! The people you hired must’ve been scared of facing Matsuda Taiha! That was why they poisoned themselves!“Oh my! I didn’t think filth in this country would rathe
The six Hermit Families weren’t able to do as they pleased, since the Braff family was involved with the government.And because of Heaven’s Gate, the Gibson family were of the same circumstance.It fell on Azrael, Golden Sands’s king of the underworld, to stand on the front lines in fighting Faceless Group and Evermore’s invasion.However, Kairi and the others requested him to stay behind. It wasn’t that Azrael was weak; if anything happened to him, they would all be done for.“I understand the situation we’re in, everyone,” Azrael said.“But right now, I have a chance to stop Faceless and Evermore’s return. I can fight for our future!“If I don’t do anything, Faceless will win. He’ll have a reason to come back.“If that happens, we’ll be in dire straits.” “I’ll handle it, then,” Kairi said, sighing. Her skills with poison were impressive. So much so, that everyone avoided her like the plague. If she used them, she would be criticized. Even so, it was much better than sen
Saul was shocked.“I know you’re capable, Harvey. I know that your subordinates are extraordinary as well, but have you considered this thoroughly?“Matsuda is one of the top ten experts among the younger generation in the Island Nations. His strength is nothing to scoff at. Not everyone can just go against him!“The Islanders are narrow-minded people. They’ll hate you if you decide to step up now.”“That’s right, Harvey,” Kairi said. “This is the underworld’s problem. You’re just a geomancy expert, so it’s not appropriate for you to take action now.”Kairi gave Harvey a look, signaling him to not waste his efforts.However, Harvey glanced calmly at Blaine.“It’s fine. There’s no need to hide anything at this point.“Since we couldn’t lure the big fish out, adding more bait would be good.”Harvey’s calm words were filled with confidence.Saul, Azrael, and the others exchanged glances before nodding. Since Harvey had already made his stance clear, there was no point for them t
Everyone was in shock; they looked as if they had forgotten how to breathe.Harvey was the only one who was calm. Nameless, Blaine, Kairi, and many others were completely stunned to see what was happening. A few beautiful hostesses slapped themselves furiously in the face to make sure that they weren’t hallucinating.Nonetheless, it still felt like an illusion.Even Brodie, the so-called fair judge, was baffled. He couldn’t believe his eyes. Who was Matsuda?! He was the successor of the Six Schools of Martial Arts and the Abito Way! He was one of the top ten most outstanding people of his country’s younger generation!He could overwhelm anyone with his strength alone. He could take out entire crowds if he really wanted to!And yet, a pompous playboy took him out with great ease.It was way beyond anyone’s expectations!Blaine pulled out his phone, planning to get someone to look into Julian. The tables were about to be turned. He wouldn’t allow that at any cost!He then loo
Naturally, Nameless and the others wouldn’t give up that easily.On the other hand, the people of Golden Sands finally managed to win. They wouldn’t want the fight to be for nothing, either.Matsuda narrowed his eyes, and started wondering if he really had been careless. If he actually went all out, he was sure that a rich playboy like Julian would be no match for him.Pride, reputation, and the Bushido Spirit…These were only things to fool idiots.Julian looked on calmly, smiling serenely. To him, this was just an opportunity to test his strength. He finally managed to get the York family’s ancient scripture. Naturally, he had to perform his best.The referees frowned and exchanged glances. In theory, they could disregard the fight since the hostess hadn’t announced the start of it yet.In reality, anyone with proper eyesight could tell that not only had Matsuda already lost, but he’d also lose his life if Julian really wanted it. Restarting the fight would mean disrespect
Brodie was filled with righteousness.Those who didn’t know any better screamed in unison, demanding a rematch.Julian ignored Brodie and glanced curiously at Matsuda, as if he was ready to take action.“I’m talking to you, you bastard! Do you understand me?“Let Matsuda go right now!“If you don’t, if Matsuda even gets a scratch, we have the right to disqualify Golden Sands!”Nameless spoke up after seeing Brodie fearlessly standing up for him.“Elder Brodie! I think people who disobey the rules should just be killed immediately!“The fight just now obviously didn’t count!“If there aren’t enough enforcers here, I have plenty to spare!”Nameless clapped, and a few men in suits and firearms walked out with threatening grins.Seeing them being so shameless, Harvey decided to trample on them completely. “I told you already, Julian.“You should be quick and ruthless with your attacks! Show your opponents your power!“Don’t give them a chance to make excuses!“Come! Give th
Matsuda took a deep breath, then walked toward Julian. He held his breath and stared down at Julian. He didn’t hold back.He quietly waited to cut down Julian, so he could reclaim his lost honor.Julian looked listless and bored, as if the entire situation had nothing to do with him.The hostess stepped up, worried. After seeing Matsuda nod, she exclaimed, “Begin!”“Die!” Matsuda screamed in fury. The blade in his hand turned to lightning, charging right ahead without pause. The sound of a crashing wave and a beast’s roar was heard.It felt as if his blade had engulfed the whole ring.Ripples were even forming in people’s wine. It was enough to show just how terrifying of an attack it was.The beautiful hostesses were going limp in fear; their faces had completely lost all color. It was their first time seeing such an impressive being, after all!That said, Julian remained calm as he faced the attack. Everything he experienced in Hong Kong and Las Vegas had turned him fearl
“What’s wrong with you, Julian?”Harvey appeared to be furious.“I told you! You can only take action when the blade’s right in front of your throat!“Why would you hit him earlier?“You look nothing like a descendant of a country with a history of five thousand years!“I suggest we continue fighting, referees.“It’s best that all of you agree that Julian will lose if he fights back before Matsuda’s blade is right in front of his throat!”Harvey showed a righteous expression, and smiled at Brodie.Brodie’s eyes kept twitching; he didn’t think that Harvey would have such a sharp tongue and that Julian would be this strong.If Brodie accepted Harvey’s so-called request, his reputation would be completely tarnished.If Matsuda lost, Brodie’s title as the inner elder of Heaven’s Gate would turn into an insult. After all, any sane person could tell that he was clearly standing on a side.After thinking of the consequences of Matsuda’s failure, he looked at Harvey’s faint smile an
"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
