Bam, bam, bam!Every single move Roger made was faster and stronger than the last.At first, people were cheering…But they quickly saw something wrong.Harvey was too calm. His expression never changed since the beginning; he hadn’t moved at all, either.Roger, who seemed to have the upper hand, started to pant after a few moves. His attacks were starting to deteriorate, compared to before.“Is… Is Young Master Roger losing?”Everyone was filled with shock after thinking of that possibility.Bam!After another move, Roger fell to the ground with a horrible expression. His robe was completely drenched in sweat.“Not bad, but not good enough,” Harvey said, crossing his arms. “I’ll show you what true martial arts actually looks like.”Harvey slowly raised his hand; a simple movement was enough to stop Roger from escaping.“Look out, Young Master Roger!”The coach’s expression changed instantly.He could see how extraordinary Harvey’s movement was. He understood that Roger c
Under everyone’s puzzled gazes, Lorel rushed out with a pale face. She quickly lifted Roger up. Seeing his swollen face and blood coming out of the corner of his mouth, sadness filled her eyes. “We’re all classmates here, Harvey! How dare you do this to him?!”Lorel held Roger with a furious glare. She was like a wolf. Even if Harvey was strong… She was ready to go against Harvey at any cost.“I already went easy on him,” Harvey said.Lorel scoffed, then pointed at Roger’s face.“You call this going easy?! This has to be intentional! You’re heinous! You’d do everything just to be famous in university!”Lorel’s eyes were filled with nothing but hate.Not only was the man she liked completely embarrassed, but the entire university would probably turn into a massive joke after the incident.‘It’s all because of Harvey! Doesn’t he understand that it’s best for everyone if he just gave up?!’“I’m heinous?” Harvey smiled. “If I was the one slapped aside and coughing blood on the
“You’re trying to recruit Young Master Roger?”The coach’s eyes twitched, and he showed a horrible expression.“Let me tell you something! If the head coach was here… You wouldn’t be allowed to show off here!“Mr. Garry already told us! If Young Master Roger is under his wing, he’ll teach him everything he knows! You’re quite talented, but you’re nothing in front of someone like Mr. Garry!”A lot of students’ eyes lit up with confidence after hearing those words.“That’s right! Mr. Garry is a true expert! He’s completely undefeatable in the outskirts! You’re not allowed to insult someone like him!”“You should learn under Mr. Garry, Young Master Roger! In just three years—no, three months, you can beat the shit out of that guy as you please!”Roger sent a text on his phone, ignoring everyone’s words in the process.Three months was too long for him. He needed to reclaim his pride immediately. If not, he wouldn’t have the face to stay at the university.Harvey stared calmly at
Many were clad in robes, as if they had martial arts skills.Hundreds of people rushed fiercely towards Harvey, surrounding him completely.Harvey sighed; he didn’t think Roger couldn’t handle that bit of shame.As expected, the crowd split apart before revealing Roger’s swollen face. He was with Teo and Lorel.Roger had completely lost his cool; at that very moment, he was blatantly showing his arrogance as a young master.He slowly strutted forward; even with his swollen face, a lot of the women around still bowed respectfully to him.The young master of the Mammoth Branch was a powerful title. In the outskirts, the title represented utter dominance. Nobody would dare go against a man with a title like that.Roger emerged from the crowd, glaring coldly at Harvey. “Didn’t think you’d see me so soon, did you?”“No, I didn’t,” Harvey replied. “You truly disappoint me. I wanted to lead you since you showed some talent…but after seeing your lack of humility, I don’t think your tal
Teo didn’t seem angry at all.“You’re right, Young Master Roger. I’ll keep that in mind for next time!”“There will be no next time,” Lorel said coldly. “It’s my first time seeing someone so disrespectful towards Young Master Roger!”“So you’re saying that you’re ignorant,” Harvey commented.“You…”Lorel was shivering in anger; she didn’t think that Harvey would have that sharp of a tongue.Roger couldn’t bear seeing this any longer. He waved his hand, stopping everyone from speaking. He then took a step forward, squinting at Harvey.“Since you’re a good fighter, I’ll give you a chance.“Break your arms right now. Grovel in front of university as an apology tomorrow morning. I’ll let this slide if you do.“How does that sound?”“Pretty bad. I have no intention of harming myself. You have no right to demand me to kneel, either. But, I can let you off the hook if you kneel in front of me right now,” Harvey replied. “You!”Roger was infuriated.“Don’t think I don’t know who
The cars stopped right in front of the crowd.As the doors opened, many fierce men emerged. These people were just hired by Ernie after Creed’s incident. Every single one of them was an expert martial artist, capable of fighting ten people at once.At first, Ernie didn’t want to bring this many people…But after his experience, he felt that it’d be better if he did. These expert martial artists were superior compared to the rich playboys Roger brought. They were professionals.Ernie went out of the middle car soon after. He was filled with pride as he strutted forward, his arms crossed. After dealing with the outskirts branch’s incident, he was given many benefits and authority. Those were blocking his way instinctively moved aside. With every fierce step he took, everyone around him could immediately feel their legs giving out.“You’re finally here!”Teo showed a passionate expression after seeing Ernie.“Perfect timing! There’s a difficult student that came from the new
Everyone instinctively froze.Roger, Teo, and the others were showing sluggish looks when looking at Harvey.‘Is he fearless or what?‘Can’t he tell just how impressive Young Master Ernie is?‘Harvey’s only being supported by relatives of the Higgs family!‘Even Harlan wouldn’t be able to protect himself against Young Master Ernie…‘What’s the point of pretending? Who gave him that courage?’Judging from Harvey’s confidence, Roger and the others were convinced that he wanted to die.“He doesn’t know his limits at all, Young Master Roger!” Lorel snarled.“You should just get your family here as well! Make sure he gets taught a lesson he won’t forget! Let him know that he should kneel whenever he sees you!”Roger agreed with Lorel. He made a few more calls, then crossed his arms while glaring at Harvey.The beautiful women were looking at Harvey with disdain as well.‘As expected from a man from a big city! Aside from being a little cleaner, he has no talent at all!’Ernie w
Teo got more excited. The more Harvey showed off, the quicker and more dreadful his death would be.Teo instantly jumped, pointing at Harvey with a cold smile.“Let me tell you something, Harvey! It’s useless for you to kneel now! Now that Ernie’s pissed, you’re in deep trouble for sure!”Lorel showed a prideful expression, and puffed up her chest.“Don’t think anyone would stand up for you after you die!“Even if Harlan knows that we did this… He wouldn’t dare make a sound about it, either!“A relative like him has no right to go against the four great tribes! His wife does seem a bit more capable, but would she even stand up for you?“Don’t think too much. Your fate’s been sealed at this point!”Lorel’s finger was almost right on Harvey’s head.“What are you doing, you stupid bitch?!”At that moment, Ernie finally came to his senses. He swung the back of his palm, slapping Lorel to the ground.Teo said instinctively, “You got the wrong person, Ernie! You…”Slap!Before h
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
Daichi had already checked the Chapter of Ascension earlier back in Grand City, but he could not leave with it. Only after Harvey gave his green light would Rachel pass the Chapter of Ascension to Daichi.Harvey gave Kenta a look and then pulled out his phone and dialed a number. "Pass him the thing and escort him out."Harvey was straight-faced when he said that. While he had read it through, he did not believe that the Chapter of Ascension would really allow one to reach Unity between Nature and Man. It was not that Harvey was underestimating Hale, but as a martial art elite himself, he knew very well that there were many things required an epiphany to comprehend, and not just some so-called Chapter of Ascension.If that thing was really as effective as people said, Hale would not be hunted for more than a decade. In no time, a few hours went by. Kenta picked up his phone and after listening to the other side, he smiled. "You really are an honest man. Working with you is a very pl
Kenta continued to speak to Harvey in a chatty manner. "Everyone here can see how powerful you are. Unless we can kill you without any doubt, we won't be able to survive your revenge later on. That's why… You can trust me."Harvey looked at Kenta coldly. "Of course you won't be able to kill me. However, I need to make sure Mandy and my men are safe. That's why there's no need to waste your breath here."All you need to do is to give me an answer. Will you come with us? Before we leave, someone will let Daichi examine the Chapter of Ascension. Once we've left Sky Plane for about an hour, that person will then pass the Chapter of Ascension to Daichi. Don't worry. I'm a man of my word."Kenta smiled. "We'll believe you if you're willing to personally guarantee it. It's decided then. I believe we can work well together. Now, let's go."As soon as Kenta finished saying that, he waved his hand. All the Islander elites stepped aside despite the weapons in their hands. This was also a way
Slap!Harvey gave another slap at Jun's face."So what if I did? I'll kill you if you waste anymore of my time!" Before Jun could even finish, Harvey had already grabbed him by his neck. Onmyojis are physically weaker than most, so Jun could not fight back at all while being held like that."You fool! Release Mr. Jun!""Mr. Jun is one of the best among the onmyojis in Sky Plane!""Don't show any disrespect!"All the Islanders roared when they saw Harvey disrespected Jun so much. They quickly drew their long swords and pointed them at Harvey. Dozens of people also started to approach Mandy. Clarion and the others also reacted quickly, protecting Mandy behind them. The atmosphere between both sides became extremely tense in just one moment.Harvey's hand never released Jun's throat as he calmly turned to Kenta and said, "Alright, Kenta. Let's continue the discussion of our three conditions. The first condition is that you must escort us out of Sky Plane and guarantee our safety. A
"You really are very impressive, Kenta. It's quite rare for someone like you to exist within the Fujihara family," commented Harvey after he took a deep breath and loosened his fists. "I have a feeling that someone like you will eventually climb up the ladder. Who knows, you might be the next Island Nation's Emperor."All the Islanders around them had strange looks after they heard what Harvey had just said. Even Kenta's eyes twitched before he replied helplessly, "You're joking, Mr. Harvey. I'm just someone from the branch family. The emperor's throne has always belonged to the main branch and the main branch alone."Then, Kenta changed the subject after that. "Since it sounds like you have a change of mind, does it mean you're willing to fulfill your part of the promise?"Harvey calmly said, "Not exactly. This is just a simple trade, and so is the trade's content. I'll give you the Chapter of Ascension, and you promise three things. That's reasonable…"At this point, the mysterio
Looking at Kenta's expression, Harvey's eyes narrowed. The Islanders could become fanatical most of the time, and he knew that very well from how Kenta was presenting himself. Their people believed in collectivism to the point of radicalism. One single word from their superiors was enough to make them sacrifice themselves and fight to the bitter end, not to mention if they were convinced if it was for the greater good.In short, if he really refused to give them the Chapter of Ascension, then Kenta would really give up on this pretentious act and detonate the Emerald Jewel. However, while the Emerald Jewel could injure him, he knew it could not kill him. But, Mandy and the others were another case entirely. If the Emerald Jewel was detonated, none of them could escape.Harvey frowned, realizing that the situation was getting more complicated."Mr. Harvey, you understand that the Chapter of Ascension isn't worth the lives of the people here. Not to mention if you do manage to obtain
"Firstly, this is Sky Plane. This is the Sacred Martial Art Training Ground for the Island Nation. Based on the promise made between each of the Sacred Training Grounds, we can consider one as hostile if they enter without an invitation. That's why when you barged into this place without invitation and were suspected of murdering the citizens of Sky Plane, we have the right to stop you from leaving the place and investigate."Secondly, Mr. Sora is a citizen of Sky Plane. It is within reason for us to protect his safety. Thirdly, Grand City will need to give us a reasonable explanation for this."And finally, if any of you refuse to cooperate, then according to the laws of Sky Plane's Admin Board, we have the right to kill all the intruders!" said Kenta with a wide grin."I know you're extremely strong, Mr. Harvey. So strong that you're the best here. But the question is, what's the use if you have personal strength in this situation? Even if you can defeat a hundred, can you defeat
