“You have a good eye, kid. Pretty lucky, too.”Yuri chuckled when his move missed Harvey. “That said, this is just the appetizer.”“Is that so?” Harvey chuckled. “Why don’t you show me something else, then? Let me see your true talent as one of the sword saints.”Yuri was just about to say something, when the sound of loud engines was heard outside. Korbin and some people from the Patel family showed up with firearms, looking fierce. It was clear they only showed up after Kairi informed them of the situation.“You called people here?” Yuri chuckled disdainfully. “You don’t think these people can actually do anything against me, right?”“I can break you without them, anyway. But since they’re here, maybe filling you with holes isn’t that bad either. You have no right to get me dirty my hands anyway.”“Heh! How naive!”Yuri squinted while sizing up Harvey.“Now that you’ve ruined my mood… Now that you’re plotting against me with firearms… I’ll let you live another day!“But ne
In the dead silence, a car stopped at a villa in the city’s suburbs.This was probably Kairi’s residence.Korbin wanted Kairi to return to the Patel family’s ancestral house, but she refused. She knew Yuri would strike again after witnessing his ruthlessness and lack of morals.She would hurt the rest of the family if she stayed in the ancestral house.Destroying some of the family’s core forces with the help of the Islanders was a good thing for Blaine as well. Forget stopping Yuri, he’d encourage the man.Under such circumstances, it’d be safer to live somewhere else and plan ahead.After arriving at the villa, Korbin gave a few calls to strengthen security.Meanwhile, Harvey casually found a place to have some tea and chat with Kairi.He believed ordinary security wouldn’t matter to a true God of War like Yuri. However, he’d be hated for no reason if he got himself involved with Korbin’s ambition.Korbin instinctively curved his lip after seeing Harvey’s actions, but he did
Cameron didn’t bother to hide his desires.That said, compared to a shameless man like Westley… Cameron was just a scumbag at most. After all, he didn’t like to force himself on others. He preferred to show kindness and make his object of affection willingly jump into his arms.Korbin’s eyes twitched frantically; he started to regret calling Cameron here. However, he had no choice but to go along since he already made his decision.He rolled his eyes before leading Cameron to Kairi. “Ms. Kairi, Sir York, this is Cameron Lloyd. He belongs to a well-known family of martial artists.“Cameron’s my sworn brother! He’s a true expert martial artist! He came here to help.“This is the lady of the Patel family. You two should get to know each other.“This here is Harvey York. He’s a good friend of Ms. Kairi.”Korbin didn’t reveal Harvey’s other identity, showing a profound look.Harvey calmly glanced at Korbin, before reaching out his hand. “Hello.”“Hi.” Cameron frowned, but didn’
Bam!A loud sound was heard.Cameron’s hand was blocked by Harvey.“What’s the meaning of this, Young Master Cameron?” Harvey asked, squinting at Cameron.Kairi frowned. “I’m grateful you’re here to help… But Harvey’s a guest here. The Patel family will get angry if you decide to take action against him.”Cameron was clearly a bit unhappy after hearing Kairi’s words.“I wasn’t doing anything to him. I only wanted to see what kind of talent Sir York here has to provoke the Islanders.“He seems a little capable, at least. It’d be fine if he only showed off in front of ordinary people, but… He must be joking if he’s going against a sword saint like Yuri!“I don’t know how he managed to get out of the situation the last time… But with my years of experience, I can tell that I can take Harvey out with a single move if I really want to!”“I’m warning you, Harvey. You should be a little more discreet,” Cameron said with a bitter look.“Life isn’t like what you see in the movies. Yo
“Let me teach you a lesson here. Yuri was an outstanding expert of the Abito Way when he was young! He was considered one of the Island Nations’ top talents!”Cameron crossed his arms, looking as if he was educating an ignorant subordinate.“After he got famous, he didn’t become the head of the Abito Way, but he was still the Supreme Elder. This should be enough to show his talent and ability!“Right, let me tell you something. My father sparred against Yuri back in the Island Nations before. After exchanging three hundred or so moves, Yuri barely lost!“You should understand just how terrifying he is now, don’t you?“He didn’t take you out back in the hotel because he was just testing you. He wanted to see how impressive you actually were to go against the Islanders.“If he was even a bit more serious, you would’ve been dead by now.”Cameron looked at Harvey with a bitter expression.“Why would you go against someone that impressive? Your fate is now sealed.”Harvey casually
“Of course, Yuri is a grandmaster with a reputation at stake!“How about this?“If Yuri won’t let this go, then you should just grovel in front of him for forgiveness!“As long as you’re sincere, with the Lloyd family’s reputation… Yuri wouldn’t dare lay a finger on you!”Cameron looked as if Harvey was getting a good deal out of the situation.At the same time, he waved his hand. Someone brought over an elegant-looking wooden box. An old scripture was seen inside the box, with Harvey labeled as a servant inside.Cameron pointed at the name on the page with an arrogant expression.“Listen here, Harvey! Sign this! Let everyone know that you’re a part of the Lloyd family!”“Don’t feel embarrassed, Sir York!” Korbin said, as if he was going along with Cameron’s idea.“This is only nominal. The Lloyd family wouldn’t actually treat you like a servant!“Consider this a band-aid solution! When we deal with the situation, we’ll figure out how to remove your name from the pedigree aga
“Let me tell you something too,” Harvey replied.“I’m not interested. I don’t need your help, either. But if you keep yapping, I’ll slap you aside.”“Slap me?” Cameron said. He chuckled angrily, clearly amused by Harvey’s ignorance.“Do you know how many people tried to be servants of the Lloyd family, but never got the chance? You’re given the opportunity now, yet you don’t know how to cherish it?!“You don’t understand! It’s a blessing for you and your entire family!“Let me put it this way! Once you lose the chance, you won’t get anything similar for the rest of your life!”“I’m really not interested. Stop being delusional already. If you really like to have servants, why don’t you get Korbin to be one instead?“He’s your sworn brother, and your lackey. You can do anything you want with him.”Harvey then turned around and left.He couldn’t speak reason with an arrogant man like Cameron, nor could he slap Cameron around. So, he decided to just stay away instead.“Bastard…
“Right, let me remind you something. You better not resist like last time. You’d die horribly if you do!”Yuri crossed his arms, sporting a determined look.“Is that so? That won’t be good. It’d be hard for you to be buried if you died that way. Make sure you die less horribly, okay?” Harvey retorted.“Heh.”Yuri chuckled coldly.“I’ve seen a lot of idiots in my life, but you’re the biggest one out of all of them! Since you want to die that badly, then don’t blame me for what happens next!”Yuri touched his long sword, slowly approaching closer to Harvey. His men quickly spread out, not giving the Patel family a chance to use their firearms.Korbin quickly pulled out his phone to call for rescue, but there was no signal.He seemed gleeful when he saw Harvey about to be crushed, but he was still trying to put up a fake front.“Save Sir York, Cameron! No matter how stubborn he is, he’s still our guest! It’d be too embarrassing for the family if he dies here!”Cameron looked smu
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
