While the Foster family pondered on whether they should wait for a few more days or not…Under the Indigo Mountain, an ancient manor beside the Hulroy Lake was brimming with lights. The place seemed to be destroyed after a huge battle; smoky trails could be seen all over.Looking closely, many bodyguards with firearms could be seen standing in the shadows of the building.The howling night winds made everyone shiver. In the deepest parts of the manor was an old-looking villa, decorated extravagantly on the inside.A fire burned brightly in a European-style fireplace.A massive round table was set in the middle of the hall. There were a few people leaning on a big, comfortable Italian couch. Blaine wasn’t present, but his associates were. They were all people who worked under Vaughn.Vaughn was playing with an ancient vase, making sounds of approval, as if he was interested in it. In front of him was none other than Nameless, sitting cross-legged, clad in a white suit.Two of
Vaughn grinned when he heard the killing intent in Nameless’s words.“As long as you’re happy with the documents provided.“Right! Young Master John told me something.”Hearing that Blaine was mentioned, Nameless slowly sat up straight despite his high and mighty attitude. “What is he asking?”“He said that the John family has suffered some losses recently, and they seem to all be connected to Harvey.“He’d only embarrass himself if he went against Harvey, who has a high status now.“It’d be better if you do it instead. He could clean up for you after that.”It was clear that Vaughn’s words had a different meaning; he sounded quite encouraging.Nameless froze. Then, he smiled.“I’d just be dealing with some bugs for Young Master John, anyway. It’s just business between us.”“It’s better to be more open-minded. You should know, Young Master John’s strength in the city isn’t something you can imagine.“The Patel family and the six Hermit Families, they’re all just worthless tr
“Not only are they strong and ruthless, but they’re all Kshatriyas of India as well!“Not a lot of people here has the guts to lay a finger on people like them.“After all, it’d cause an international dispute!”Nameless was proud.Vaughn was shocked by what he heard.“How unexpected! I didn’t think Mr. Faceless could get such people here.“Other than the John family, nobody else can suppress the Rakshasa Monks!“Kshatriyas could trample on so many people!”Nameless felt proud after hearing such praise.“Aside from that, I contacted the Abito Way as well. The outer elder was furious after hearing that his outstanding disciple was killed by such a despicable man.“Three experts of the Abito Way are on their way here after the outer elder told them to seek justice!”“Evermore, the Abito Way, and the Celestial Temple’s Rakshasa Monks…“With all of these people, Harvey and Julian are as good as dead.“Not just them, but I’ll trample the Patel family and the Hermit Families to t
While Vaughn and Nameless were having a heart-to-heart talk, Harvey received a video call in Fortune Hall.Kairi, on the other side, was wearing a short skirt. Her long, alluring legs could occasionally be seen. Even with Harvey’s strong willpower, he couldn’t help but be impressed by Kairi’s ability to lure him from afar. Sensing Harvey’s odd expression, Kairi smiled proudly before sipping some tea. “I called you for something important, Sir York.”Harvey gestured for Kairi to continue.“We kept a close eye on Nameless and the rest these past few days.“Evermore wouldn’t just give up after their loss here.“Blaine hasn’t taken any action, but Vaughn has visited him three times. Every time, he’d stay for at least three hours.“Judging from this, we can tell that even the Thompson family is probably involved with Evermore.“Also, there have been quite a lot of new faces entering the city. These people have one thing in common: they’re all martial arts experts.“They didn’t t
“According to the information we have, Faceless is still secluding himself abroad.“Apparently, he’s still trying to become a God of War and hasn’t come back because of that.“He did call three of the Celestial Temple’s Rakshasa Monks to Golden Sands. Not only are they Kshatriyas of India, but they also studied under one of the Three Great Monks, Julio Garcia.“After he defeated Dean Cobb, the South Sea’s God of War, his name spread far and wide. His disciples are naturally no pushovers while they’re riding his momentum.“I suspect that these Rakshasa Monks are leagues above the top fighters of the Island Nations’s younger generation, too. “These people stayed in Nameless’s manor as soon as they arrived. They might have received a price on their deal by now.“Other than that, the Abito Way has been taking action as well. Some of Matsuda’s associates from the same school have terrifying strength and skill. “Their swordsmanship is nothing short of immaculate.“These people have
Harvey shook his head.“You don’t have to. You’re in a deeper mess than I am. I can take care of myself.”Kairi smiled.“My dear Sir York, this isn’t about needing to do things. This is about our attitude.“Our enemies will naturally wait and see our reaction after leaking such information.“Do you think they’d come for you that easily if we didn’t send anyone for your protection?“They’ll only take action if they’re confident in completing the mission, despite the difficulty we set up.“If they see that it’s too easy to get to you, they might think we’re setting up a trap. If that’s the case, they might not proceed with their plan.”Harvey was completely speechless.“You’re just trying to use me as bait at the end of the day, right?”Kairi blinked.“What are you saying, Sir York?” she asked gently.“I’m sending my trusted subordinates to you for your sake!“The Patel family asked Heaven’s Gate to bring up a group of expert fighters, too.“We spent a lot of money to get g
The next day, everything went on as usual. A hundred number plates were handed out to the customers.With Harvey’s lead, work went on at a steady pace.When it was dinnertime, Leona got off from work and prepared a meal for Harvey.She was cooking roasted chicken, using a recipe that recently blew up on the internet. Aside from the freshness of the meat, the taste felt quite like an old home.For someone like Leona, who grew up in a city since childhood, making this was a rare experience.Harvey had experienced quite a bit; he had already tasted all sorts of things in his life. While he was leaning on his chair with a smile, he’d occasionally give pointers for Leona to improve.Kellan, Cliff, and the others went somewhere else to have their meal, as if they were giving Harvey and Leona space. Even Julian was dragged out of the place.Harvey could only smiled bitterly against such a plan.The others must’ve known about his divorce. That was why they were trying to help.Even so
The gentleman froze before he let out a cold chuckle.“Not bad, kid. You’re pretty smart.“Then again, you should know that smart people usually die quickly…“You know too much. You have no other choice but to die.”The gentleman squinted around him.He thought Harvey York had already set up an ambush, but he was only sitting still while waiting for his demise.Thank goodness for him.“I know quite a bit…“But I’ve never been one to seek death.Harvey steadily wrote something on the piece of paper…“Through all the ups and downs, the sun will still rise nonetheless.”Those words were filled with a hint of malice and endless dignity. A single glance would stupefy any ordinary person.“Keep pretending!The gentleman was filled with disdain after seeing Harvey’s actions.“There’s only one thing left for you to write, your damn will!“How will you write it?“I should remind you! You should just donate your stuff to an orphanage!“Young Master Nameless will come for your en
"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
