Rudy revealed a sly grin, as if he had managed to get control of the situation. Even Alfred, who had calm all this while, glanced curiously at Harvey.Those standing behind glared disdainfully at Harvey. They were convinced he was embarrassing his dignity as a man.Harvey held the check, and glanced at it a few times. “That’s a lot of zeroes; a lot of people wouldn’t get to see this number their entire lives…“It’s tempting, for sure. But it’s just not enough.”Rudy chuckled coldly.“What? You think fifteen million is too little?“I’m giving you this much for the sake of the main branch!“If you keep acting so high and mighty, then don’t blame me for not holding back!“I’ll achieve my goal by killing you, anyway!“Our goal is simple: we’re here to prevent Kairi from getting a live-in son-in-law!“We’ll take out whoever she’s interested in!“We’re telling you to take the money and enjoy yourself! How is that not enough?!”Alfred picked up his cup, still calm.“People shou
“Aaagh!”Rudy was twitching in pain.Harvey had no intention of letting him go; he instantly stomped on Rudy’s face, pushing the latter’s face right into the wooden floor.Everyone froze in place; they couldn’t even come to their senses as they watched in shock.Naturally, nobody expected that Harvey would be daring enough to do something like this. Not only was he not afraid of Rudy’s threats, he even dared to stomp on Rudy’s face.Alfred snapped back to his senses first, and frowned. “What’s the meaning of this? Do you know the consequences of doing such a thing?”Titania and the others screamed in unbridled rage after coming back to their senses.“How dare you lay a finger on our prince, you bastard?! We’ll kill you!”Titania swung her whip, and charged forward. The experts of the Gangnam branch pulled out their weapons; they were boiling with anger, prepared to cut Harvey into pieces.Kairi waved her hand before Harvey could anything. Many experts from the main branch step
Rudy wouldn’t dare flaunt his strength any longer.He finally understood the situation.Harvey was a kept man…but he was a reckless one as well.If Rudy kept running his mouth, he would be taken out without hesitation!A powerful man would not expose himself to danger. He was a high and mighty prince; dying because of a mere kept man wasn’t worth it!At this very moment, he decided to hold himself back and calm down.“Oh? You finally stopped after learning your lesson?”Harvey kicked Rudy aside.“Stop showing in front of me. If you do this again, I’ll kill you!“Now, leave!“If you want to work with us, then think about our condition!“If not, then we’ll see each other as enemies!”Rudy stumbled back to Alfred, looking miserable. He was filled with shock and rage, but he no longer dared to go against Harvey anymore.“You’re flaunting your strength in front of us, Harvey? Kairi?After seeing Rudy’s miserable face and Harvey’s calm expression, Alfred couldn’t hold himself b
Seeing the people of the overseas and Gangnam branch leave, Kairi hesitated for a moment before finally letting out a sigh.Harvey smiled when she saw Kairi’s expression.“What? Did you regret bringing me here?“You still have a chance to save the situation.“Get your men to send me to them. They’ll probably forgive the main branch for this.”Kairi glared coldly at Harvey. “Are you looking down on me?”Harvey smiled.“Your family’s situation is a little too complex right now. We have no choice but to deal with them quickly.“Once they understand that this is the only way to keep their positions, they’ll definitely fold…“We don’t have time to play with them anymore.”Kairi frowned. “And what if they never come to that thought?”“Then we’ll just have to cripple them before anything else,” Harvey replied. “Another thing, I’ll meet with Elias. We’ll see if we can get him on your side. I’m his sworn brother, after all.”Kairi froze, filled with disbelief.Elias was a God of Wa
Elias squinted at Harvey for a moment before letting out a sigh.“With our relationship, I’d definitely stand with Kairi.“That said… Kairi has no chance to win.“Dalton’s using all his might to take the family’s throne.“Not just the Wolsing branch, even the Northsea and Mordu branch are supporting him. A lot of elders from the main branch stand behind him as well.“Kairi cannot rise.”Harvey took a sip of his tea, then looked at Elias curiously.“Dalton? The prince of the Wolsing branch? Are you familiar with him? What’s he like?”Elias thought for a moment.“Dalton’s the top dog out of all five major branches. Not only is he proficient in martial arts, but he’s also a very apt schemer. Because of his status in Wolsing, he has a good relationship with the top ten families and with the sacred martial arts training grounds.“It’s said that he has sworn brothers in all four cornerstones of the country, too.“Simply put, he has more connections than Kairi. His rise to power wo
The two went out of the restaurant. As they headed inside the car, a Land Cruiser quickly drove over.The car parked instantly, and out came a woman holding a whip alongside many expert martial artists. They all swarmed the entire place with calm expressions.Harvey tilted his head, smiling. “Say, you think these experts came for you, or me?”Elias showed an odd expression.“No matter how powerless I am, I’m still the prince of the Mordu branch. I’m the God of War that everyone knows of. They wouldn’t be insane enough to go against me.”Harvey slapped his knee.“Good point! They must be here for me, then. I’m completely alone without any aid in the Patel family’s territory, after all!”Harvey glanced at his phone for a moment.“Well, well! There’s no signal here either!“You need to take good care of your brother here, Elias. This is the Patel Residence. You’ll have to take responsibility if I get hurt!”Elias was speechless after hearing those words. “You know who I am. Step
“Gods of War are only human! Guns and weapons harm him the same! Go!”The experts pulled out their firearms with safeties off before trying to pull the trigger.Swoosh!Elias was a God of War—why would he even give these people a chance? He swung his long sword, instantly putting the so-called experts to the ground.He then quickly swung the back of his palm, beating Titania down to the ground. She screamed in pain, her entire body twitching profusely.Harvey clapped, signaling for Elias to keep everyone alive. He smiled at Titania.“Do you seriously think you had a chance to kill us both?“Dalton must’ve known that you simply had no strength.“He wasn’t asking for my head to show loyalty in the first place.“He was just trying to test Elias.“Out of the five princes, he doesn’t respect and fear Alfred at all. That honor falls on Elias, the God of War. Am I wrong?”Titania quickly changed her expression. Even Elias’s face went gloomy instantly.He put his whole heart into m
The man had well-kept hair and a tiger-tooth necklace on his neck. He wore no other ornaments.However, the necklace alone was worth millions of dollars. Compared to actual jewelry, the necklace was completely superior.He carried a refined aura, as if he was an actual personable prince.He was none other than one of tonight’s main characters, the prince of the Wolsing branch, Dalton Patel.He greeted and shook hands with familiar faces as he walked. The wealthy ladies were filled with joy when they saw Dalton. The young masters and other influential people showed respectful gazes when they greeted him as well.Dalton had an extraordinary status within the family. It was said that he was well-versed in martial arts, and was halfway into being a God of War. Even though he was no match against Elias, he was still a formidable man.More importantly, he had a lot of connections that he gathered in Wolsing. This meant that he had tremendous power that could help the family reach great
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
