“That’s right!”Cedric clapped, a smile on his face.“The Corpse Walkers sincerely came here to look into investments, yet this nobody trampled all over us!“We need someone like Ms. Kensley to protect us and uphold justice!“Don’t worry! We’ll visit the Martial Arts Alliance ourselves later.“The Corpse Walkers are a family of martial artists! Surely, they’ll show their respect to us!“Nobody can remove Ms. Kensley from her position!”Naturally, it’d be best for Cedric if Kensley took out Harvey on her own.Not only would the problem be solved permanently, but Cedric’s relationship with Blaine would also deepen.“Harvey…”Kensley took a deep breath, and hung up the call. She glared coldly at Harvey.“Forget the representative of the Gangnam Martial Arts Alliance, I won’t give in even the leader calls!“Since you dare hurt the Corpse Walkers and ruin the city’s interests, you’ll have to pay the price!“Besides, I have a good relationship with Longmen as well!“Let me tell
“Goddaughter? Kensley?”Justin’s eyes twitched.“I would never do that to you, Sir York! You know me!“I’ll agree to let my own daughter be your mistress if that’s what you want!”Harvey’s expression darkened. “Enough of that nonsense!”Justin coughed.“Kensley calls herself a direct descendant of the Quinlan family, but she’s just a bastard!“She doesn’t have much status in the family. If she does, she wouldn’t be siding with Blaine!“Blaine was the one who got her to be my goddaughter in the first place.“Don’t worry! If that bitch uses my title or Longmen’s name to take advantage of people outside, I’ll make sure she gives you a fair statement!”Justin hung up on the call. Right after that, Kensley’s phone started ringing.Kensley looked at the screen, and her face completely lost all color.Naturally, her dear godfather called.The call alone was enough to show that her relationship with Longmen was severed.Harvey looked at Kensley with a small smile.“As expected f
Kensley gritted her teeth.“What do you want, Harvey?” she asked coldly.“Judging from your face, you wouldn’t give me a proper explanation. In that case, I’ll just do it myself!”Harvey took a step forward, and swung the back of his palm across Kensley’s face.Kensley stumbled back, a bright red palm print now seen on her face.She looked at Harvey in disbelief, but she wouldn’t dare say a single word, as if she was scared of getting slapped again.“This one’s for taking advantage of people using the Martial Arts Alliance’s name!”Slap!Harvey stepped forward and slapped Kensley in the face again.“This one’s for using Longmen’s reputation to do whatever you please!”Slap!“This last one’s for you siding with evil without any regard!”When he was done slapping her around, Harvey then kicked Kensley to the ground.“Leave!” he roared.“You…”Kensley was covering her face. She wanted to talk back at Harvey, but she instinctively shivered when she saw his calm expression. S
After getting justice for Mandy, Harvey immediately went to Darwin and the others. He told them to send experts for Mandy and her family’s protection twenty-four-seven.There was no solid proof, but Blaine’s involvement in this was heavily implied. The man’s methods and patience couldn’t be compared to any ordinary man. He’d most likely try to take out Harvey again.However, with the experts of Golden Sands’ branch of Heaven’s Gate, Harvey believed that Blaine wouldn’t be as blatant as he was before.And so, the next few days were quite peaceful.When Harvey went to fetch Mandy out of the hospital, he explained the situation to Lilian as well.Surprisingly, Lilian didn’t scream at Harvey’s face this time. Naturally, she had already received word about the situation.Elodie and her mother must’ve looked for Lilian for trouble the same night.When Harvey was pondering whether he should go to the John family himself, Watson called. He told Harvey that the Brarff family’s ancestra
Just like Watson Braff said, the room was completely empty.But after a while, Harvey York could smell a hint of fragrance similar to incense in the room.Harvey squinted at the purple light and briefly thought about the situation before heading outside.Then, he showed up in front of Eliel Braff a few minutes later.Eliel was sitting on a chair with a miserable look. He would occasionally let out a few coughs when his breathing got faster.“You’re here, Master York…” he said with a gentle expression.Soren Braff was also there.“Master York! Please! Take a look at my father!”Eliel glared at Watson before speaking.“Master York’s a busy man!“You’re wasting his time by calling him here!”Soren and Watson looked at each other with glum looks.After all, they were worried that Eliel was actually cursed.Then again, there were some things that just could not be said since the elderly would usually get this stubborn.Harvey smiled as he sat in front of Eliel.“I’ve been doz
The three sat down when the servants brought over some tea.“First off, I’ll have to congratulate you both,” said Harvey York before sipping his tea, smiling faintly.Watson Braff and Soren Braff frowned.“What do you mean by that?“What’s there to congratulate about?”“Eliel has a purple aura moving around his forehead. Along with his treasure room filled with the same aura…“If my guess is correct, he’s probably about to head to Wolsing to become one of The Nine Elders!“If this succeeds, the Braff family’s status will be on par with the top ten families.“The Jean family might also be forced out of their position.“Shouldn’t we be celebrating that?”Watson and Soren froze.“Are you serious?!” screamed Watson with a crackly voice.Harvey nodded.“I’m at least ninety percent sure.“This is probably why Eliel’s worked up about it, too.“Since ancient times, there has never been a moment where someone’s rise to power is smooth sailing.“Eliel’s destined to head to Wolsin
“The royal court is a boat going against the current! You have no choice but to move forward!“Since Big Boss already intends for you to rise, the people looking to steal that position wouldn’t just sit and wait for your reply!“Besides, you might not lose even if you decide to fight in Wolsing.“But if you don’t go, it wouldn’t be hard for those people to cause trouble here, judging from the forces there.”Eliel Braff froze before he showed a look of realization.He was a prominent figure in the royal court. He understood that fact himself.He was just oblivious since he was involved in the current situation.After taking a deep breath, Eliel showed a prominent gaze while looking at Harvey York.“Are you confident in my success there?”Harvey glanced at the clear purple aura lingering on Eliel’s forehead before smiling faintly.“Your position will be stable.“The Braff family will be listed as one of the top ten families.“You’ll be a huge success in Wolsing.“I’ll also h
“Let me introduce you, Harvey York!“This is my good friend of the top ten families, Brayan Foster, the head of his family!“And this is his daughter, Amora Foster…”Naturally, Watson Braff had been doing business abroad before discovering Eliel Braff’s situation. He simply had no time to look into the things that had been happening in the city.He gave a warm introduction, thinking that Harvey did not know them.Watson’s plan was simple. Harvey and the Braff family were on the same boat at this point.He naturally hoped that Harvey would get to know many more prominent figures so he would have connections wherever he went.“What a small world, Master York.“We meet again.”Brayan showed Harvey a faint smile. He seemed extremely gentle, but the people who knew could tell the cold expression between his brows.“As expected from the best geomancy expert in the city!“It’s quite the task even to find you!”Brayan showed a smile on his face while speaking in a profound yet sarc
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
