On the next day, the entire city was bustling with lights.Everyone knew it was the day of Damon John’s inauguration ceremony.For some reason, the position of the city’s second-in-command was handed over to the Patel family…However, since Damon integrated the government and business corporations into one, it was enough to prove the John family’s strength and the people’s acknowledgment of the family.At dusk, Harvey York rubbed his temples as he walked out of the Fortune Hall.He had been thinking of ways to help Mandy Zimmer so she would not get involved with the Two-Eyed Bead.That said, she had been extremely stubborn.Not only was she persistent in continuing her journey outskirts, but she also kept telling Harvey not to butt in as well.If he did, she would break off with him completely.After a heated altercation, Harvey walked out of the Fortune Hall when he was just done telling Rachel Hardy to keep an eye on Mandy.On one hand, he wanted to give them both some spac
Harvey York smiled.“I wouldn’t say that.“We’ve had our moments with the top ten families.“Some members were born with a silver spoon in their mouths. It’s only natural for them to be a little cocky.“Then again, at least they still have a bottom line.”“A bottom line?”Kairi Patel let out a cold chuckle.“You don’t understand these people, Sir York. For them, the bottom line is just a line to be broken through.“With enough benefits, they can surely disgust you with their actions.“For example, Blaine…”Harvey’s gaze turned dark after hearing that name.Out of all the princes and young masters, he was the most outstanding.That said, his ambition was so strong that he simply could not contain himself.Evermore, America and the Island Nations were all deeply connected with him.If Damon John rose to power, Blaine John would take control over Golden Sands…The entire country would be in deep trouble if that were the case.Harvey heaved a sigh.“I managed to deal with
Kairi Patel looked profoundly when she saw Harvey York spacing out.“What is it?” she asked with a smile while handing over a bottle of soda.“Thinking about your ex-wife?”Harvey returned to his senses before putting on a frown.“What about it?”“If that’s the case, you can invite her here anyway.“If she sees you crushing a top-rated family before everyone’s eyes…“I’m sure she’ll start to regret divorcing you, right?” said Kairi playfully.Harvey felt utterly speechless.“You’re joking.“I’m not arrogant enough to think I can crush a top-rated family just like that.“At this point, combat strength is still a crucial factor.“But the current situation, our luck, and the enemy’s plans are the most important.“How can we be so sure to crush the John family after knowing that?“Maybe we’re being led into a dangerous trap…”Kairi smiled before pondering about the situation.“Right. Do you still remember Ibuki Masato?”“I do.Harvey nodded.“I’ve been waiting to see if
Harvey York could not decline Kairi Patel’s kindness.He kept the split bead with a smile before changing the subject.The car drove on a little further.It was just about to enter the residence’s parking lot.Harvey’s eyes suddenly twitched when he screamed, “Stop the car!“Hurry!”Almost simultaneously, a truck carrying alcohol tilted to the side.If not for the driver, everyone in the Lexus would have turned into minced meat by now.The sudden stop immediately halted the parking lot’s traffic.“Go! Save the people!” exclaimed Kairi, afraid that something had happened to the driver.Harvey waved his hand.“No need. There’s nobody inside.“They’ve already left.”The doors of the luxury cars behind were kicked open.A dozen robed Islanders came out.A five-foot-seven man was leading the group. He was considered a tall and handsome man in the Island Nations.The man showed utter elegance with every step he took.He reached in front of the Lexus before knocking on the wi
Kairi Patel was just about to say something…But Harvey York waved his hand to stop her before calmly walking in front of Ibuki Masato with a smile.“You want me to kneel?“Do you even think you have the rights?“You and your people are delusional!Harvey glanced at the Islanders with their phones out.Their eyes frantically twitched. They seemed a little awkward after realizing that.After all, they knew exactly who they were dealing with.The prince of South Light, the representative of the country’s Martial Arts Alliance, the young master of Longmen himself…Every single one of these identities had been constantly disrespecting the Islanders before.Other than prominent figures like Ibuki from the Island Nations…The small fries would probably kneel instantly after realizing Harvey’s identity.“Do you think I wouldn’t dare go against you people on an occasion like this?”Harvey glared coldly.Ibuki smiled.“Of course, I wouldn’t even assume.“But don’t forget. Diplom
Harvey York’s soft tap was enough to change Ibuki Masato’s expression.He was a compelling martial artist…But as soon as Harvey tapped him, he felt a sharp pain as his shoulder sank instantly.It dislocated.Ibuki did not expect Harvey to dislocate his shoulder that easily without taking the choices offered to him.‘This bastard!’Harvey ignored the look on Ibuki’s face when he leaned closer.“You’re an expert martial artist yourself.“If you weren’t this cocky…“You wouldn’t have to deal with this either.”Ibuki gritted his teeth.“How dare you sneak up on me like this…?”In his mind, he would not have been hit by something like this if Harvey had not played dirty.Harvey gave a chuckle.“Does it matter?“I put a bit of my aura into your shoulder. It might just get crippled if you don’t relocate the bones soon…“How is the young master of the Masato family going to take control with one less working arm?“How are you supposed to be the best of the younger generation?
“He had planned for all this.“He only has one goal…“To prevent me from attending the ceremony.”Harvey York shrugged.“This means that the ceremony’s nothing but a blatant trap!”Kairi Patel smiled.“He’s gone now, though.“The mighty young master of the Masato family would be completely disgraced if his people knew about this incident, wouldn’t he?”Harvey froze before frowning. He figured that something was wrong.It seemed like a plan to stop him from attending the ceremony…But why would a young master of the Five Royal Families use such an underhanded tactic for something like this?The Islanders would use everything in their power to accomplish their goals…But there was no need for such a prominent figure to do all that dirty work.While Harvey pondered the situation, the car had passed a few checkpoints before arriving in front of the John family’s residence.When the car was parked, a servant quickly came over to open the car door.Kairi was fixing her makeup
“Hell’s Poison?Harvey York’s expression changed.“The liquor got laced?”Kairi Patel kept changing expressions.“Not just that. That’s the Patel family’s formula.“You should know my title by now.“The Hell’s Poison is what made me famous.“The poison doesn’t taste any different compared to ordinary alcohol.“But even with a single sip, anyone would croak after passing out for an entire week.“Other than me, nobody else can cure it!“Back then, I stopped making more of this since the production harmed me more than it should’ve.“Why did it show up here…?”Kairi looked strange.“What an interesting man Ibuki is…” said Harvey.“He distracted us just to slip in the Hell’s Poison.“The poison is what made you famous too…“If the John family finds out about this, then that’ll be a direct challenge from the Patel family!“More importantly, this is solid evidence!“With this, it’d only be natural for the John family to make things more complicated for the Patel family…“Wh
"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
