“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
“Even if I’m only a live-in son-in-law, I still belong to the family!“Our pride is with the Jean family and the top ten families!“We’d rather die than beg for our lives!”Crack!Before Harvey was done talking, Kanae snapped Reuben’s leg.“You’re still running your mouth now?!” Kanae roared. Reuben was about to roll on the ground after all that immense pain; he didn’t think Harvey would be so ruthless as to torture him using another person.The other higher-ups were shocked as well.‘Did this Islander grow up drinking the fear of his enemies or something?‘Is he afraid of nothing?!‘He’s fated to go against the entire family for crippling Elder Reuben like this!’Harvey took a deep breath, as if he was starting to be swayed. He finally glanced at Elodie.“I’ll offer myself as hostage.“But on one condition!“Let the woman go!”Harvey pointed at Elodie.“She’s the head of our branch! She needs to be safe! I won’t come to you until she’s out of this place!”Elodie’s ex
The higher-ups felt a chill run down their spines after seeing that.They finally realized that not everyone could just take the position of the branch’s head. Anyone in that position could die if not careful!Kanae laughed coldly, then charged right at Mandy. Naturally, he was planning to grab another hostage.Clack!But before he could get close, Harvey stomped on a tile. The shards flew straight ahead, forcing him back again.Kanae’s expression turned awful. The moment he stepped back, three more bodyguards fell to the ground, paralyzed, as soon as he waved his hand again.The bodyguards pounced ahead when they saw the sight; the whole place fell into utter chaos. After all, both Elodie and Reuben were already dead. If the bodyguards didn’t take down Kanae, they’d have to join the two. More than thirty bodyguards charged forward; these people had at least a bit of fighting experience and possessed impressive strength.Kanae laughed coldly, then he released his aura. Other
A loud slap was heard, and Kanae was instantly sent flying; he slammed into the ground, and the aura in him dissipated instantly.Islander expert martial artists…Karate geniuses…Bushido Spirit…All of these were destined to crumble before Harvey.Harvey smiled at Kanae, who was paralyzed on the ground. “If I were you, I’d stop moving right now. If you keep wriggling around, you might not get your life back.”Harvey then took out his phone.“Tch! Are you planning to call the cops?!” Kanae snarled. He had lost his strength to fight back, but he was still filled with disdain as he glared at Harvey.“It’s useless! I’m an Islander! I have diplomatic immunity!”Harvey slapped Kanae’s head.“Good point! If you didn’t remind me, I would’ve forgotten!“Spies like you are worth seventy-six thousand dollars here! You should be going with the Dragon Cell instead!”Harvey then dialed a number.“Hello? Dragon Cell? I’m here to report a spy and get my reward.”While Harvey was plannin
“Stay calm, Young Master Darby.”Blaine smiled faintly. “I gave you Kanae for you to protect yourself, not for you to fight Harvey.“We don’t know much about Harvey yet.“We’ll pay a great price for going against him right now.”Darby chuckled coldly. He raised his head to look at Indigo Mountain.“What else can he hide?“His title as representative probably doesn’t hold that much weight, anyway.“If he’s actually invincible, even if we don’t kill him, we can at least screw around with him, right?“More importantly, if we manage to find out his true identity by probing him, it’ll be easier for us to deal with him later!”Darby had a confident look on his face, as if he had everything under control.Blaine chuckled, and took a sip of his Black Tea. He admired Darby’s impatience quite a bit. It wouldn’t be appropriate for him to probe Harvey. It simply wasn’t his style.Letting Darby toy with Harvey would benefit him the most. Since Darby was only thinking of reclaiming hi
“If things get serious, it’d be bad if you got locked up again while Harvey’s completely fine.“You’re an important player of this game. If that actually happened, there’ll be a lot of trouble.”Blaine shook his head in regret. If he knew that Darby was such a useless teammate, he wouldn’t have bailed Darby out in the first place. People like that should just rot behind bars.“Get Kanae back!” Blaine ordered without hesitation. “It doesn’t matter what’s going on right now.“Call him back.“No, take him out of the country! Don’t let him show up in front of us ever again!“We’ll just pretend we don’t know him!”Darby looked at Blaine, puzzled. “You’re exaggerating things a little, aren’t you?” he said coldly. “He’s just a live-in son-in-law…”“Don’t get cocky, Darby,” Blaine replied.“Do you think a mere live-in son-in-law can sweep up your casino like that?“Do you think someone like that can just send you behind bars without warning?“You think he’s completely powerless,
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
