The higher-ups were filled with rage. They crawled up with their faces covered.‘Is this live-in son-in-law that ignorant?‘How dare he challenge someone like Master Aung?!‘At this point, he’s asking to die!’“Master Aung is an expert, Harvey!” Lilian yelled, unable to hold herself back. “Stop showing off in front of him! Kneel! Stop causing trouble! Don’t drag the entire family with you!”It was clear Lilian didn’t care for Harvey at all. She was just afraid of Harvey agitating Aung, and that would make things worse for the entire family.The higher-ups became more arrogant after seeing Lilian giving in. They laughed coldly, looking at Harvey as if he was already done for.“You’re finished for going against us, you damn live-in son-in-law!“We’ll break whichever arm you used to slap us!“You’re nothing in front of Master Aung!”Aung’s pride shot through the roof when he heard that. He took a step forward, and glared coldly at Harvey.“I can give you a chance. Break your ar
Naturally, nobody expected that Harvey could actually able to fight back.Aung stumbled back, his face completely swollen after taking every single slap to the point where black eyes were blatantly showing.To the higher-ups, Aung an expert martial artist and represented the Jean family’s most ancient lineage. Thus, they didn’t know what to say after seeing someone like that get beaten to a pulp.Aung was miserable; he wanted to dodge and fight back, but…He couldn’t even make a sound after being slapped around, even when Harvey’s attacks didn’t seem too fast.Aung was filled with nothing but pain and resentment. Unfortunately, he could do nothing. Facing Harvey, he had no choice but to endure!Lilian’s eyes twitched after seeing it, and she was thankful she stopped talking down to Harvey when she could. If not, Harvey could definitely slap her mouth shut.“Enough, Harvey.”Simon’s eyes twitched; he decided to mediate, since he was afraid of Reuben coming after the family.“Ma
Aung didn’t think he’d be crippled by a single slap.Everyone else looked bewildered.They could clearly tell that Aung was already planning to kill Harvey…Yet, what happened?Harvey sent him flying again with a simple slap. Judging from Aung’s state, he wouldn’t be able to stand again.‘Is he crippled?‘Is Aung too weak?! Or is Harvey just too strong?!’Everyone lift Aung, and left the place soon after.Judging from Harvey’s methods, he would’ve snapped Aung’s arms before leaving him. However, he refrained from doing that since he didn’t want Mandy and Xynthia to see that.“You’re a lot better than before, Harvey!”While the family was still in shock, Xynthia snapped to her senses. She couldn’t resist jumping right into Harvey’s arms, smiling warmly.Harvey’s chest felt warm; he wanted to push Xynthia away, but he couldn’t do that at all.Mandy’s heart stung when she saw this. She quickly stepped forward to break the two apart.“Alright, knock it off! You’re an adult! Wh
Mandy glared at Xynthia. “Kids have no say here! Enough nonsense!”“You choose—do you want to sleep on the floor in my room, or do you want to sleep in Xynthia’s room instead?” she asked, looking at Harvey.Harvey sighed.“I’m used to sleeping on the floor anyway. I’ll come with you then.”Harvey followed Mandy into her room, while Xynthia glared gloomily after them.The bedroom was on a separate floor. With the dim light, the room seemed quite romantic.Mandy stumbled while she was changing into her slippers. Harvey quickly held her up. As soon as he did, he could feel her warmth. Mandy froze, and her breathing grew rapid.Harvey felt his breath starting to heat up as well. He wasn’t sure if it was getting too romantic, or he was just shy.Mandy’s beautiful face had become slightly redder as well.Harvey lifted her up, and took a deep breath before taking a few steps back.“We haven’t gotten our certificate yet,” he said with a faint smile. “It’d be bad if we stayed in the
At midnight.Harvey and the rest of the Zimmers arrived at the funeral parlor.The police left as soon as they got there.Harvey stopped one of the leaving cars to ask about the situation.According to the autopsy, Aung fell into a ditch and drowned after getting drunk. For an expert like him, dying in such a way was plain embarrassing.But for the police, the case was over since the mystery was solved.Harvey gave his thanks before heading into the parlor with the others.The usually quiet place was filled with noise. Those who didn’t know would assume that the entire place was a night market.Harvey and the others arrived at the morgue, and discovered that there were a lot of people inside. Aside from the higher-ups, Reuben and Elodie were there as well.Reuben was holding a string of beads, his expression horrible. No matter what, Aung had been with him for the longest time and was his most trusted subordinate, after all.It was only natural for Reuben to get angry after A
“We’re here, Elder Reuben. Is there something you wanted to talk to us about?”Simon respectfully stepped forward, afraid to get involved in the situation.Lilian followed suit, her entire body shivering in fear.“We didn’t kill anyone, Elder Reuben… We respect Master Aung, after all…”Slap, slap, slap!Reuben slapped the two a dozen times, causing them to stumble back. Their faces were completely swollen.“You bastards! If it wasn’t for you people, the Foster family’s contract wouldn’t be a problem!“Elodie would’ve risen to power by now!“I wouldn’t get Aung to break Mandy’s legs if that was the case!“He wouldn’t go to your home, nor would he be crippled and killed on the streets!“In any case, you people are still involved, even if you didn’t kill him!“I treat him like my own son! Now that he’s dead, I want every single one of you to join him as well!”Reuben was getting angrier the more he spoke. He kicked Lilian and Simon to the ground, and was about to step on their
“Take him down!”Reuben waved his hand. At that very moment, a few of the Jean family’s bodyguards pulled out their firearms and aimed at Harvey.To them, as impressive as Harvey was, he couldn’t be able to beat a firearm no matter how impressive he was.“Harvey, look out!”Xynthia instinctively pounced in front of Harvey.Just then, three darts flew right at Harvey from the back.He rolled on the ground, taking Xynthia in his arms, dodging the attack successfully.Pew, pew, pew! The darts landed on the bodyguards with firearms; they covered their necks, and ended up lying on the ground, looking miserable and completely paralyzed.Their faces turned black instantly; the darts were poisoned. Before the bodyguards could come to their senses, a coroner wearing a mask waved his hand.He threw his toolbox forward, knocking a few more bodyguards to the ground.The coroner pounced right at Harvey, he coincidentally rolled on the ground with Xynthia before coming right behind Elodi
The chaos paused for a moment; many people glared hostilely at Kanae. The ninth branch would be in deep trouble if Reuben were to die.The armed bodyguards took a deep breath; they took off the safeties of their guns and pointed them at Kanae’s weak spots, ready to fire at any time.“Let Elder Reuben go!”“You’re not worthy to hold Elder Reuben hostage!”“If you don’t let him go, we’ll kill you right now!”The higher-ups and bodyguards gathered their courage to speak.Meanwhile, Reuben managed to calm himself down after a short moment.“I don’t care who you are!“But you should know that I’m an elder of the Jean family—one of the top ten families!“If you lay even a single finger on me, no matter who you are or where you go, the Jean family will definitely end your entire family!“Your ancestors will be burnt to a crisp as well!”Elodie stood up, and mustered her courage to speak up as well.“That’s right! The ninth branch has this place completely surrounded!“We called t
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
