“It’s said that during ancient times, the Wolven Tribe treated the Eden Mountain as its holy mountain. We used to offer some of our harvests every year there, too.“Traditions like these are long gone now. Despite that, the Wolven Tribe still prides itself on living in the Eden Mountain.“Right at the foot of the mountain, there’s a villa area that the richest people here developed.“A single restroom there costs way more than any of the houses here. I don’t even have money to afford a single brick there!”Harvey squinted at the Eden Mountain, smiling faintly. “I looked into it before coming here. The richest people here are the Klein family, right?”Harlan he looked at Harvey, weirded out. “That’s right… The Wolven Tribe is split between the Higgs family and the Klein family. I belong to the Higgs family, but I’m not related to the main family. I’m just a distant relative.“Speaking of villas, the family happens to have a relatively smaller villa in the neighboring area. I got
In the information Kairi provided, Whitley came from Gangnam. She got to know Harlan while visiting the outskirts for a vacation, and they had been together ever since.Whitley frowned when she saw Harvey walk in, but she still nodded at him in greeting.“Look who’s here, honey?” Harlan laughed. “Come, have some tea with your aunt. I’ll get the food ready. You should eat here tonight.”Harlan happily put on his apron before heading into the kitchen.Harvey froze; he was surprised to find out something new, despite having read the information provided.From what he was seeing, it seemed that Whitley was the person in charge of the family.Whitley casually signaled for Harvey to sit. She brought out two expensive-looking cups, and went to boil some tea. She seemed quite absent-minded, but every single one of her movements was just right.Naturally, she was an expert.Harvey glanced at Whitley with a look of admiration. People with such amazing tea-making skills were surely extrao
Whitley’s face was awful during the entire meal.Harlan didn’t know what happened. He didn’t know what to say, since he had always been timid with his wife.When Whitley returned to her bedroom after the awkward meal, Harlan finally spoke to Harvey.“Don’t mind your aunt. She’s been like that since forever. “How about this? You must be pretty unfamiliar here since it’s your first day. I’ll get Billie to go shopping with you. You can buy some essentials while you’re at it.“You don’t have to worry about living here.”Harlan quietly snuck Harvey a silver card.Harvey knew Harlan would be suspicious if he rejected the card. After all, he was here to seek support. He decided to take the card, thinking of returning it when it was time for him to leave. Not long after, Harlan got a call from his company and left.Billie smiled, but after Harlan left, she turned to Harvey and demanded coldly, “Hand it over!”“What?” Harvey froze.“Playing dumb, are we? Hand over my dad’s bank car
Harvey memorized every piece of information and the outskirts’ map to heart, but this was still his first time here.There were a few good soldiers from the Sword Camp who came from here.Harvey couldn’t remember the soldiers’ contact information. He sent Ethan a text asking about it, then casually strolled alongside the moat.Weeping willows could be seen. They made for quite an elegant sight.Harvey strolled around as he pondered what he needed to do next. He couldn’t just search for Mandy immediately. After all, the Two-Eyed Bead was involved. Aenar Temple, too.Even the Jean family wouldn’t hesitate to lose two branch heads for the sake of the bead. Mandy was even kidnapped because of this. If it wasn’t for Harvey, the situation would’ve been horrible.This was enough to show just how deep the waters were. If Harvey took action recklessly, the consequences would be dire. It’d probably be easier for Ethan to provide a few soldiers from the Sword Camp, so he could use their c
Harvey didn’t think he’d attract that much attention just by taking a stroll.After leaving the moat, he found a place to buy his essentials. Then, he headed to the villa Harlan arranged for him.The place was a little old, but there was no moldy smell in the air. Harlan had naturally put a lot of effort into Harvey to feel at home.Harvey was pleased. He thought of buying a villa in the Eden Mountain to repay the favor later.On the next day, Harvey decided to have a jog along the river early in the morning. The air around the place was quite refreshing, after all.Harvey had no choice but to wait since Ethan hadn’t replied. He had been running around everywhere to deal with problems, but he finally managed to have some time to rest after coming here.Harvey would occasionally do a few moves when nobody was around, and felt very refreshed.He went to the place where he bumped into some people the day before, so he could take a break. Before he could find a spot to sit down, s
“Do you know martial arts?“If you’re going to show off, then at least learn something for a few years first!“Weak-looking people like you piss me off! You understand me?!”The woman scoffed at Harvey, treating him like a crazy show-off.Harvey couldn’t help but roll his eyes. If he didn’t know martial arts, then nobody would.The woman’s practice wasn’t all that impressive anyway. That was why Harvey sighed.He didn’t have any intention of arguing with the woman. He didn’t want to expose his identity because of this, either.“Sorry, but I really don’t know martial arts. I wasn’t sighing because of you, either. I couldn’t help myself after thinking about my old friend. Sorry if I made you uncomfortable.”The woman frowned. “If you don’t know anything, step aside already! You better not show up here again! If you do…”“Get back here, Aria,” the elderly man said after coughing.“He didn’t mean it. He apologized, too. Stop being so aggressive already. I told you, a bad temper i
“What’s the point of pretending now?”Aria scoffed; she didn’t believe Harvey at all. She waved her hand, and the fierce man stepped in front of Harvey. Judging from his bulging waist, he was clearly holding a firearm. If anything were to go wrong, he wouldn’t hesitate to take action.The elderly man smiled when he saw Harvey keeping silent.“Let me introduce myself. My name is Lennon Surrey. This is my granddaughter, Aria.“The Eight Extremes that we practice is a little different from the rest.“You’re clearly no ordinary man. Since you could tell that there’s something wrong with my granddaughter’s practice, why not tell her?”Lennon spoke in a polite manner, as if he actually wanted Harvey’s pointers. However, his tone was laced with pride. Everyone here would have no choice but to pay their respect after recognizing the Surrey name. However, this young man in front of Lennon didn’t seem to care, as if he didn’t know him.It was only natural, since Harvey didn’t come fro
The fierce man froze, his hand stopping on the firearm.He had been fighting with Lennon in the outskirts for many years… This was his first time seeing someone as powerful as Harvey.He thought that matter how impressive a person’s martial arts were, he or she wouldn’t be able to go against firearms. Now, he finally understood; in front of true power, firearms meant absolutely nothing.He wouldn’t get the chance to pull the trigger before being taken out.Harvey ignored everyone’s change in expression. “It’s just a small trick. It’s not worth the praise. I can leave now, right?”He was the Head Coach, who had already brought up a few Gods of War. He wouldn’t be flattered by someone was praising his rise as a God of War, anyway.To Lennon, Harvey’s calm expression was no different from the look of a master.“This might be a small trick for you…but for us, this is simply extraordinary!” he exclaimed sternly.Lennon wouldn’t dare talk down on Harvey anymore. The outskirts were hu
"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
