“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
“That’s right!”Cameron crossed his arms with a prideful expression.“You should know that the Lloyd family has nothing to hide, Grandmaster Yuri!“Harvey is our servant!“I know you’re strong, but it’s only natural for the family to protect him as well!“I believe you’ll give us your respect, for the sake of my father and the family!“Of course, I wouldn’t let Harvey get away with going against you scot-free either!“I’ll make him grovel, so we can bury the hatchet!“We’ll settle everything here! There’ll be no grudges after that!”Cameron then glared at Harvey.“Grovel already! Give Grandmaster Yuri an explanation! Give yourself a chance to survive! Stop being so stubborn!”It was clear that Cameron assumed that he had control over the entire situation.Harvey looked at Cameron as if the man was an idiot.“Who do you think you are? Why don’t you take a look in the mirror first before saying that? Do you think you even have the right to say such a thing?” Harvey said.Ca
Naturally, Cameron thought he had already given Harvey enough respect…And yet, Harvey still acted this pompously without gauging his own ability.Cameron wouldn’t allow someone to be more impressive than him. That was why he hoped for Harvey to give up.“Since you did this out of goodwill, I won’t slap you aside. If you were someone else, you would’ve been dead by now. You understand?” Harvey said.Cameron chuckled angrily after hearing Harvey’s words.“Oh? Do you think you’re actually impressive or something?“Do you realize just how many people would want to be servants for the family? Do you know the kind of suffering people endured just for a chance to be a part of us?“Besides, a lot of these people are heirs of wealthy families! They pride themselves on being a part of the family! It’s your greatest blessing to be a part of us!“You should be serving the family well so you can earn our protection! Your ancestors have been praying for such an opportunity for the longest t
Cameron froze after hearing Yuri’s words; he felt utterly embarrassed.“What do you mean by that?! You’re not scared of my father? I’ll make you kneel after I call him!”Naturally, Cameron had to defend his family’s honor. If not, his family’s reputation would be thrown out of the window after being disrespected like this.“I did lose against your father before, Cameron.“But that was ages ago. Today’s different!“You better stop interfering! Or else, I’ll take you out too!”Yuri was clearly getting impatient. Since Harvey wasn’t a servant of the Lloyd family, Cameron running his mouth was simply disrespectful to him.Besides, the Lloyd family’s reputation was completely inferior compared to the Five Royal Gates.Yuri would only have one more enemy if he went against Cameron… But if he disobeyed Ibuki’s order, he wouldn’t be able to survive in the Island Nations in the future.After realizing that, Yuri decided to ignore Cameron’s warning and deal with Harvey before anything e
Harvey crossed his arms.“I still have a lot to live for. I’m not interested in dying.”Cameron thought Harvey would give up after he did just that. He covered his face while he shook his head, feeling nothing but disdain.‘He’s no match against an Islander like Yuri, but he should at least put up a front like me!‘He needs to protect his reputation even if he gets slapped around!‘How does he not understand that?! I’d rather die standing than kneel to another person!‘Is he actually planning to beg for mercy?!’Naturally, Cameron had already forgotten he didn’t fight back against Yuri after freezing in fear. He was ridiculing Harvey in secret, thinking that he still had his pride intact.Indeed, he was proficient at comforting himself at the cost of others.He believed he had the right to look down on Harvey.After all, he figured that Harvey had nothing to compare himself with.Yuri ignored Cameron, and squinted at Harvey with a smile.“You don’t want to die? I’m sorry, b
"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
