“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
“Blaine’s gone.”Kairi glanced out from the VIP room.“I don’t think he’d give up that easily, judging from his personality. He wouldn’t leave without doing anything when you tore his check in front of his face, right?”Harvey picked up his utensil, then took a bite out of the beef brisket and sipped his tea.“Who said he was going to give up?” he said with a faint smile.“Don’t you see? The hotel’s closed. He didn’t even wait for us to leave before deciding to take us down! He’s not afraid at all!”Kairi frowned, then glanced at the entrance.A short man stood there. He was wearing a broad robe with a long and short sword hanging on his waist. He pulled his long sword out, its blade incredibly sharp.“An Islander?” Kairi’s expression turned horrible.Harvey casually glanced at the man.“Not just any Islander. He’s probably an expert from one of the Six Schools of Martial Arts.“He must’ve injected himself with the enhancement drug as well.“Genetic science with martial art
“Oh? You know who I am?”Yuri squinted at Kairi, then instinctively licked his lip.“How about this? I can consider leaving you alive if you have some fun with me for a few days. How does that sound?”“Terrible,” Kairi spat coldly.“I’m not interested in an old dog like you. You’re not even two-thirds taller than me; you’re reaching it at this point. You think you can do whatever you want just because you’re one of the sword saints?”Yuri smiled grimly. “Interesting! I didn’t think I’d meet such a fierce woman while doing my master’s bidding…“I’ve decided! I’ll keep you alive and imprison you!“I’ll play with you when I’m in a good mood, and I’ll let my dog play with you when I’m not! Hahaha!”Yuri showed an unhinged expression; he didn’t seem like a sword saint at all.“You…” Kairi snarled. She was boiling with anger. It was her first time hearing such shameless words.Harvey waved his hand.“You don’t have to get angry at him. Let me handle this instead.”“To respect f
"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
