“People who know this must die?Harvey York smiled.“If I’m correct, Emery Wright probably knows about this too.“Even if you never told him, he still knows.“After all, if a man trying to take the throne doesn’t know his trusted subordinates inside out, he wouldn’t be able to survive for this long.“Simply put, Emery knows he’s keeping a ticking timebomb.“You think you can hide this from the others, but Emery’s probably just exploiting his connections with America.“When he finally rises to power, you’d probably disappear from this world as a dark history.“Do you think you can actually take control of anything?“How naive!”Harvey’s remarks were disdainful.Westley’s eyes constantly twitched.“You’re pretty impressive to see this. No wonder you got Blaine in this much trouble.“But let me tell you something! What if Young Master Emery was the one who supported the idea of my injecting the drug?“You don’t understand the kind of relationship that we have!”“I couldn’t
“So what?Harvey York smiled before stepping in front of Westley Wright.Then, he reached out to pat Westley’s face before speaking.“Your threat has no meaning to me.“If you go for anyone close to me, I’ll make you regret coming into this world.“Give up already!”Westley furiously stood up when he tried to slap Harvey in the face.Slap!Even before he could make contact, Harvey managed to slap his face first.Westley stumbled back before showing utter disbelief.He did not think Harvey would be as fierce in such circumstances.He had a dozen genetically enhanced soldiers with him!‘Doesn’t he realize how strong these soldiers are?!“Kill him!” exclaimed Westley.He furiously made a gesture after that.The soldiers, with strange looks, charged forward.Some instantly grew sharp fingernails, a few grew fur from their faces, and others were seen with glowing green eyes.These genetically enhanced soldiers had some beastly characteristics. Their strength and speed were
“Protect Young Master Westley!”The soldiers on the ground crawled toward Westley Wright, afraid that he would actually die to Harvey York.Harvey had no intention of going forward. He pulled a few tissues from the table before wiping his fingers.“Cowards, every single one of you.“If you’d even train a little more diligently…“A knife wouldn’t make you piss your pants in the first place.“Do you see the difference in our strengths now?“I went easy on you the first time.“If that weren’t the case, you would’ve been a corpse by now.”“You!” Westley screamed horribly.This was utter humiliation!This was way more embarrassing than the fight in Heaven’s Gate’s territory!“I’m giving you one day.Harvey casually looked at the watch on his wrist.“Remove every single threat against the Patel family.“Restore the family’s original stock value as well.“If you’re even a dollar off by tomorrow…“Then I’ll cut off your finger for every dollar lost.“You better know what’s go
While Westley Wright was undoing every single plan he had laid against the Patel family…Inside the Locke Financial Group’s villa, Karina Joyner stood up from her lounge chair.She squinted at the Indigo Mountain with a calm expression.After a long while, she called Ibuki Masato.“I’m pretty impatient, Young Master Ibuki.“I do hope you’ll get Harvey York’s head soon.”-Eleven o’clock in the morning, inside the Fortune Hall.There was still time before Harvey’s deadline, but the Patel family’s stock values had already returned to their former rates. The stock prices also hit a daily limit before the market closed.Compared to the plummet a few days ago, seeing the tables turned like this was shocking.The entire market was in a craze. Orders for the Patel family’s stocks were constantly pouring in as well.The family’s assets had reverted to normal.The canceled deals would continue as usual.The ships detained in the Caribbean were released.In any case, the Patel fami
Blaine John took a deep breath.“Of course. If you say so…“I’m begging you.”Harvey York could not help but give his praise after hearing those words.“I expect no less from Young Master John!“You swallow your hate just for the sake of the bigger picture…“Not many people can do the same, you know!“I have to admit, I admire your persistence!”Blaine was infuriated entirely after seeing the sight.As the young master of the John family, he was one of the top-rated people in the entire country.And yet, he had been constantly disrespected by a mere live-in son-in-law! This was simply unforgivable!Then again, he still forced a smile on his face when thinking of his goal.“I’d have to accept such a huge compliment from Sir York himself!”“Tsk tsk tsk!Harvey looked surprised.“Meetings always happen for a reason…“Other than you trying to kill me, I really can’t figure out another reason why you’d hold yourself back like this.“That said, I’ll go since I already promis
Capri John and the others were furiously glaring at Kairi Patel.Not only did she disrespect Blaine John, but she also humiliated the John family.“Come on, Kairi. Give Young Master John some respect.”Harvey York casually sat down before pouring himself a cup of tea.“He clearly has plans against us for holding back this much.“If we go on him too hard, he’d use his entire might just to crush us!“We won’t even get a chance to fall back when that happens!”Kairi sat down smilingly.“Please give us a chance, Young Master John!”The people of the John family were about to go insane after hearing those words.Blaine showed a calm demeanor when he set his teacup down, smiling faintly.“The John family doesn’t allow arrogance and discouragement. It’s the one lesson that the family’s been upholding.“Even if I had the upper hand against you two, I wouldn’t dare push my luck either.“After all, what goes around, comes around.”Harvey just smiled.“Since you’re being so respect
Harvey York nodded.“Of course, but I also know I have to deal with the root of the problem.“After all, I’m not scared of people scheming against me, but I do have many who are close to me.“I’d have to be a little cautious because of that.“You understand.“That said, you could convince me to leave the city.“I have one condition.”“Tell me,” said Blaine John coldly.“The John family will remain as it has been. The Patel family and the six Hermit Families are no exception…“I want a complete outsider to be the city’s first-in-command.“As long as this is achieved…“I’ll leave even without taking the money.“Right. I’d need you to do me a small favor as well.”“What sort of favor? Tell me about it.”Harvey smiled.“There’s no rush. When your family accepts my first condition, I’ll happily tell you about it after.”Blaine’s face immediately turned dark.Harvey’s words seemed simple, but his main goal was to revert every progress the John family had made.If an outside
“You’re a being little rash, Sir York.“You shouldn’t have done that.“At least, not in front of Young Master John.“After all, you could’ve used the check to delay us.”Kairi Patel cut Harvey York a piece of beef before letting out a sigh.“Delay him?Harvey York gave a chuckle.“Why should we even do that?Kairi stood frozen.“For the Patel family and the six Hermit Families, it’s good to have some time to recuperate.“But have you forgotten? Damon John’s about to take office.“After the ceremony, the royal court would officially appoint him as the city’s first-in-command. Everything would be set in stone after that.”Kairi’s expression changed.“Are you saying Blaine didn’t just come here to talk?”Harvey smiled.“Why would one of the top-rated young masters easily show his weakness?“He wouldn’t give up until he pulled out every trick up his sleeve.“He’s trying to create a diversion by humbling himself.”Kairi furrowed her eyebrows.“So, how do we stop him?”“S
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
