“More importantly, I don’t even like a rich playboy’s looks.“On the other hand, I would’ve accepted your proposal if you’d just ask.”Kairi deeply looked into Harvey’s eyes.Pffft! Harvey spat his tea right on her dress.He instinctively pulled his tissues out to wipe Kairi clean.“Sorry, the change in subject was a little sudden.”He felt very refreshed while wiping Kairi’s smooth skin.“Just tell me if you want me to undress. There’s no need for all this.”Kairi rolled her eyes before standing up.“However, we’ll have to get our certificate first!”Kairi’s face instantly went red after she said those words. She quickly made herself an excuse so she could hide in the restroom.Harvey was speechless; he didn’t know if Kairi was getting bolder or more stubborn.Right as he was about to ask for the bill, the door was kicked down. Men in uniform showed up, with a few other in formal wear. The bustling restaurant tensed up instantly; a lot of people instinctively looked over w
The faces of the fierce men darkened instantly after hearing Harvey’s words. Karina showed a cold expression as well.Leland hesitated before pointing at Harvey.“This is Harvey, Ms. Karina. He was the one who forced me to leave after calling the retired God of War. He was the one who crippled our mighty American, Rohan.”Harvey chuckled.“Mr. Leland… What are you saying? You can’t just slander me like that. I only crippled a traitor.“Besides, why would you even stand up for a man like that if all you care for are your country’s benefits?”Leland gritted his teeth after seeing Harvey’s calm look.“Don’t you know we’re focusing on building a relationship with Young Master Rohan? His benefits in Country H are ours as well! You’re going against America for crippling him!”Leland’s anger was starting to boil. Normally speaking, a man with a high status like Rohan wouldn’t become a citizen of America willingly…With Rohan, America would at least have some of its forces in Country
Leland waved his hand for the fierce men to take Harvey down.After all, he had the support of the Locke Financial Group since Karina was here.Why would he be afraid of a mere retired God of War since that was the case?After all, combat strength alone meant nothing. Money, authority, background, and support were everything in this day and age.A God of War was just a lackey in the end.The fierce men craned their necks while stepping forward, ready to take action at any moment.Before they did, Karina blew out a puff of smoke and spoke first.“Hold it.”Karina snuffed out her cigarette before leaning in toward Harvey.“You’re Harvey York? I’ve heard of you.“As the representative of the country’s Martial Arts Alliance, you’re pretty impressive.“But no matter how great you are, you’re just a martial artist.“For us Americans with genetically enhanced warriors, we can replicate as many people like you as we want. I do hope you know your limits and the consequences of going
Harvey casually sipped his tea.“Don’t you belong to one of the biggest financial groups in America? Why aren’t the others sanctioning us, then? You’re not even doing anything at this point!”“You!” Karina’s eyes twitched. “I’ll sue you at the international court for being this disorderly!”“Go ahead!”Harvey smiled.“You people only have the same trick up your sleeves! You have nothing substantial!“I might be impressed if you decide to use America’s military force against me for refusing to apologize to Rohan…“You’ll only make me think less of the Locke Financial Group for bringing up something this trivial.“How about this? I’ll tell you what’s going to happen if you make me angry.“I’ll send you flying with a single slap. I’ll make the person in charge of your organization kneel in front of me.“And if that doesn’t happen, I’ll make sure the organization crumbles.“If you don’t want me to get angry, it’s simple too.“Kneel and apologize. I’ll let you off the hook after
It was clear Harvey’s words were hurting their pride. After all, America lost its authority ever since Country H rose to the peak.Karina took a deep breath before stopping Leland and the others with a faint smile.“You really are arrogant, huh? How dare you act like this in front of us Americans when Country H’s only been established for a few measly years?“Let me tell you something! As long as America is around, Country H will remain as the lackey!“Stop pretending already, Harvey! Since we’re already here, it means we’re not scared to go against you!“Even if there’s no diplomatic dispute—even if I don’t sanction the country…“If I want to, there are tons of ways to deal with you too!“Other than medicine and drinks, do you know what’s the Locke Financial Group’s biggest business?“Firearms! Out of the entire world, we provide ten percent of the firearms!“We have tons of talented people under our wing!“A single word is enough to take down an ant like you!“What right
“I never know what’s best for myself.“That was never in my dictionary.”Karina Joyner sat up straight with her disdainful, beautiful face.“Then, tell me, what do you have in your dictionary?“Rolling on the ground in pain? Or kneeling and begging for mercy?”“Neither.Harvey York smiled before pouring his tea on her face.“There’s only one thing that I follow…“And that is to crush spirits through humiliation.”Splash!Scorching hot tea was poured down Karina’s head, ruining her makeup and making her look extremely miserable.Even Karina froze. She could not fathom something like this would happen in the country.She was the lady of the Locke Financial Group, after all!Even leaders of small countries would have to pamper her!And yet she was utterly humiliated by a clown in front of everyone…This was simply unforgivable!“What? That’s not enough?”Harvey grabbed the teapot before pouring its contents on Karina’s head while she was still stunned.“How about now?“
Karina Joyner squinted while glaring coldly.“Let me warn you.“You better not get out of the damn restaurant for the rest of your life.“If not, it just might be the last time you live.”Harvey York smiled.“Is that a threat?”Karina wiped the tea off her face.“That’s right! It’s nothing but that!“As soon as you walk out of here, I’ll find ways to kill you!“Maybe I’ll get America’s top sniper to deal with you!“Or maybe I’ll get our genetically enhanced soldiers to do the job!“I could find a thug nearby to stab you too!“In any case, you’re as good as dead!”Harvey merely shrugged.“I’m so scared!“What should I do for you to let me go?”“Let you go? Impossible!”Karina showed a big smile.“The moment you went against me, your fate has been sealed!“If you even survive for more than twenty-four hours…“I’ll kneel right before your damn face!”Then, Karina left with Leland Talbot and the others.In her eyes, Harvey was already a dead man.Harvey smiled faintl
Harvey York chuckled.“You know quite a bit about her.“The Locke Financial Group is close with the John family.“Rumor has it that Karina Joyner and Blaine John were previously involved.“I don’t know if it’s true, but that should be enough to show the relations between the two families.“Another thing. Karina’s projects and businesses always seemed to lead back to both the John family and the Wright family.”Harvey squinted.“Emery Wright?”Kairi Patel nodded.“There are signs of him being involved, but there’s no solid proof.“After all, nobody would dare accuse a royal family without any evidence.”“We live in modern times now. What’s the point of calling them that?“If he’s involved with America…“I guarantee that he wouldn’t even have a status by this end.”Kairi was shocked by Harvey’s words before she cautiously looked around.“You can’t just say things like that in public, Harvey.“There are ears everywhere.“Besides, you should be careful of Karina.“That wo
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
