Riggs wasn’t an idiot.As an experienced man in the underworld, he knew exactly what it meant for Heaven’s Gate to pick a side. If he continued to go against Harvey, he’d be challenging Heaven’s Gate as well.He’d be digging his grave for doing something like that!After thinking about all this, he gave up despite his arrogant attitude.He was an experienced man in the underworld; someone like him understood foresight better than the young masters and princes there.He was conflicted. His fearless expression instantly froze at this very moment.Rohan’s expression changed as well. Blaine told him that Harvey was Representative York. He was told that a representative was just a nominal title without actual authority.Yet, everything in front of him was completely different from what he was told!‘Goddammit!’Rohan gritted his teeth; he could’ve crushed Harvey by now if they were in Kaneridge City.Harvey squinted at Rohan.“I don’t know what the rumors are outside…but I was th
After keeping the badge, Harvey wiped his fingers with some tissues. He crossed his arms as he moved forward calmly, ignoring Riggs.“Even Riggs wouldn’t dare let out a sound anymore. Who else wants to have a say?” he challenged.Riggs couldn’t help to speak up after hearing Harvey’s disrespectful words. “You do have a high status, sure. But you’re giving the country’s Martial Arts Alliance a bad reputation just by acting so arrogantly!”Harvey scoffed.“What’s that? You talk to me about power when I’m abiding by the rules. Now that I show you power, you’re talking to me about rules again?”Riggs’s face burned after hearing Harvey’s words.“I’ll report this to the Country H Martial Arts Alliance! You’ll definitely be removed from the position! An immoral man like you doesn’t deserve to be the representative!” he yelled. Harvey sighed.“Since you’re going to tarnish my reputation like that… Should I be a little more arrogant to fit your picture?”Harvey stepped forward, then k
The Hoffmans who looked down on Harvey had lost their arrogance. Seeing everything, they realized they’d suffer if they challenged Harvey.The beautiful women covered their mouths, afraid they’d be slapped if they spoke up.‘This bastard doesn’t look like he respects women at all!’“Good servants make way.”Harvey went to the platform after slapping a few more members of the Hoffman family. He finally got some peace.Only Rohan was left standing there, his expression horrible.Despite that, he didn’t step back at all; his palms almost bled from how hard he clenched his fists as he crossed his arms, but he still forced himself to put up a brave front.Harvey slowly approached Rohan while looking at him.“It’s only natural to pay your debts, Rohan,” he said while wiping his hands. “You framed me for no reason, threatening to put me behind bars for twenty years. Are you going to give me an explanation for this?”Rohan frowned while glaring furiously at Harvey.“Don’t think you c
“Don’t you get it, Harvey?!”Rohan was boiling with anger after hearing Harvey’s words. He slammed his hands on the table, furious.“I told you! I’m a mighty American! How dare you still go against me?“Do you think you’re impressive just because you crushed a few Indians?!“Let me tell you something! You’re nothing to us Americans!“As for you accusing me of slander and forging evidence to put you behind bars…“Unless you show some actual proof… A terrible fate awaits for you!“If you lay a finger on me, you’ll be going against the Hoffman family and America!“We’ll sanction Country H for this! Your country will pay a huge price because of your recklessness!”Rohan was getting a little desperate. He only revealed his identity as an American in hopes of crushing Harvey. Usually, those infatuated with outsiders would’ve instinctively kneeled by now.Many beautiful women were looking at Rohan with admiration.‘What a wonderful man! Normal people couldn’t stay so calm to crush
“This is slander, Harvey!” Rohan exclaimed after sensing the gazes on him.“Do you think you can just frame me for this?! Keep dreaming!”Rohan glared at Kalel.“You’re from the same family, Uncle! I’ll protect you, no matter what! Tell everyone that you were forced to say everything you did in the footage!”Kalel looked at Rohan, then glanced at Kairi. He instinctively shivered.“It’s not that I want to betray you, Young Master Rohan!“I didn’t mean to!“Ms. Kairi was too much! Not only did she figure out the poison I swallowed, she even formulated an antidote for it!“She added something to make my body itch. I’m in constant pain! This is a living hell!“I didn’t want to betray you, but I had no choice!“I can’t take it anymore! I’m sorry, Young Master Rohan! I’m sorry!”Kalel groveled in front of Rohan, shivering all the while. His simple action made everyone understand that everything he said on TV was true.This made his relationship with Rohan that much clearer. At th
“Your ramblings won’t save you from your fate,” Harvey said before taking a step forward.“How dare you?! Stand down!” Rohan yelled.Bodyguards showed up to stop Harvey from moving any further. Before they could do their job, Harvey had already sent them all flying with a single kick each.These people held their chests in shock after falling down the platform.Rohan’s expression kept changing when he saw Harvey step forward without fear; he quickly flicked his hand, revealing a revolver.He pulled the firing pin and aimed right at Harvey.“Look out, Sir York!” Lola exclaimed. “Rohan’s a sharpshooter!”“A sharpshooter?”Harvey curled his lips, looking calm. He had seen all sorts of sharpshooters during his time in the Euro-American war. Not a single one of them managed to scratch him.Rohan chuckled wretchedly after hearing Lola reveal his identity.“I admit, you’re pretty impressive!” he exclaimed with a breath full of hot air.“You’re an expert martial artist, aren’t you?
After hearing Leland’s order, bodyguards of the American Embassy instantly pointed their firearms at Heaven’s Gate’s disciples.“Mr. Rohan, is this man the one who’s been challenging you? He’s the one trying to lay his hands on you?”Leland didn’t care if Rohan was in the right or wrong when he glared at Harvey.“How dare you? You’d go against us mighty Americans in front of everyone?! Do you want to die?”Leland showed a prideful expression, as if he had taken control of the entire situation.“That’s right! That’s the fool!”Rohan chuckled, and shot Harvey a deathly glare.“I already told you! A kid like you is no match against me!“If you knew what was good for yourself, you should’ve left with that dollar! You didn’t have to suffer if you did just that!“How dare you challenge me in the first place? Who do you think you are?“You’re finished! Your friends and family will suffer because of you! They’ll be blacklisted by America and hunted down throughout the world!“I’ll m
Leland picked up the phone with an odd look. Then, his expression changed slightly.A prominent figure from America was on the other side of the phone. The man had been in the Euro-American war before; he was a true God of War. After the war, he decided to retire.“Is there anything you’d like from me?” Leland asked, gritting his teeth.“I don’t care how you managed to offend the person in front of you… But you should ask him for forgiveness right now!“If he doesn’t forgive you, then you should just kill yourself. Not just you, your entire family should just die!”The call was hung up immediately after that.‘Ask for forgiveness? Or kill myself? What does he mean?’Leland couldn’t come to his senses for a long while. He gripped the phone tightly.He finally realized what those words meant. Even the prominent figure he talked to wouldn’t dare go against the man in front of him.‘Who is this guy? How is he so impressive?’No matter the case, Leland knew exactly what he should
"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
