Through his experience and strength, Dutch managed to achieve great accomplishments in just three years.Not only did he single-handedly capture eighteen of the toughest bandits in the outskirts, but he wiped out thirty-six rogue gangs here as well.The outskirts’ security had risen and become much better ever since he rose to power. Even the Border Force had to show their respect by not causing trouble here.Safe to say, the young director of the police station was a rare sight to behold. Because of his achievements, the Mammoth Tribe even chose him as a candidate to succeed his family. His resume, background, and power were simply extraordinary.Dutch, who usually gave others a warm feeling, stepped out of the car with a darkened face.“Director Dutch!” Rae and the others said while saluting him.Asher, Harlan, Judith, and their families instinctively stepped forward as well. “Director Dutch!”“It’s been a while, Director Dutch. Last time…” Asher said, smiling. “Enough!”
“S…Sir York! Hello!”The door was pushed open. Dutch tidied up his uniform, and went inside.Even a prominent figure like him felt extremely nervous the moment he stepped into the room. He felt as if he was about to witness his god.As soon as he laid eyes on Harvey’s gaze, he instantly knew. The Head Coach had hidden his identity in coming here. Dutch, in his excitement, almost uttered that name. He stooped right in front of Harvey, not knowing whether he should stand or sit.Harvey raised his head, and glanced at Dutch. “Let’s talk.”“You hear that?! Everybody out!” Dutch yelled. He instantly chased everyone out of the room, then locked the door and pulled the plug of all surveillance cameras inside.“It’s my fault my subordinates are like this! I’m sorry you’re suffering because of this…” he said, after saluting respectfully.“Don’t worry about it.”Harvey smiled.“Power means everything here. There are all sorts of different forces in the outskirts as well.“You’re no
Dutch smiled.“There’s something you don’t know, Head Coach. As a sect, the Aenar Temple has peculiar habits. It’s said that they have a lot of magical instruments hidden in one of the statues.“The statue broke, causing a lot of those instruments to fall out. They needed to perform a ritual so they could take the instruments away to be rebuilt.“The entire process is extremely important for them. That was why they requested the government to bring us for their security work.”Harvey pondered the situation.“Out of all those instruments, is the legendary Two-Eyed Bead also included? It’s also going to show up at their ceremony later, right?”Dutch froze.“How did you know about that? Even in the Aenar Temple, this is a huge secret.“It’s said that the top ten families, the five hidden families, the four cornerstones, and the sacred martial arts training grounds are interested in the bead.“I’ve been catching a lot of thieves because of it, too. Security work is grueling there…
Dutch Cobb briefly thought about the situation.“I understand.“Another thing; Evermore’s probably behind the situation as well.“Other than that, the three great temples aren’t exactly righteous entities either.“The water’s too deep here.”Harvey York stood before tapping Dutch on the shoulder.“You’re lucky that I’m here.“If not, even your family would probably be destroyed because of this…”Cold sweats started dripping down Dutch’s back when he finally came to his senses.“I’ll quit the job immediately…”“Who’s asking you to quit?Harvey cracked a smile.“Who’s going to be my support here if you do?“I can’t just tell everyone I’m the Head Coach now, can I?“Listen to me! Make up an excuse! It doesn’t matter if it’s a cold or your stomach hurts!“Pretend to be sick!“It doesn’t matter if you do security work for Aenar Temple.“We’ll just have to watch the show when the time comes.Harvey quickly changed the topic.“Right. Let’s talk business. If I’m just an ordi
Under everyone’s shocked gaze, Harvey York strode out of the police station.Nobody would dare say a word since Dutch Cobb was also beside him.Freddie Robbins and the other inspectors kneeled on the mud outside the entrance.Rae Higgs hesitated. She wanted to kneel, but her remaining dignity would not allow her to do such a thing.Then again, Harvey did not mind anyway. He did not want to be too ruthless, for Harlan Higgs’ sake.He sat in Dutch’s Land Rover before smiling faintly at Judith Pedler. The car drove off soon after.“What? What’s going on here?“Why does the director of the police station take that bastard away?“How come I don’t know about his background?”Whitley Cobb was shivering in anger. She came all the way here to crush the filth of a man.And yet, what had happened?What was going on?Harlan was pleased.On the other hand, Billie Higgs was showing utter pride and disdain.“Did you forget about the old hag he’s being kept by, Mom?“The four great trib
While Whitley Cobb and the others were still figuring out Harvey York’s identity, he had arrived at the entrance of a small town.The town was named Shadeville since it would only appear in the dead of night.This was an extremely controversial place connecting Country H and Mongolia.Both countries would have to think twice before sending any troops around here.Because of this, all sorts of criminals would gather here, along with the wealthy and strong, just to pursue excitement.According to Dutch Cobb, anything could be bought here with the right amount of money.Information, firearms, people, and things beyond human comprehension could be found.According to Dutch’s intel, the source of the outskirts’ dizzy pills misused in many Casino-Palaces was also here.This was why the police never solved the case for the longest time.Ordinary inspectors would not even be able to survive in a place like this, let alone investigate.Dutch told Harvey that the Wolven Tribe seemed to
The woman let out a chortle.“I’m pretty expensive, you know. That money alone wouldn’t be enough!”Harvey tapped on the woman’s perky butt before smiling.“I’ll have to play until I get enough then!“You’ll have to stay with me for the night!”Then, Harvey went over to a table in the main hall before throwing a stack of chips forward.“Big and Small?“I’ll go big! I’m a big man, after all!”A few hunks with the smell of gunpowder around the table were all wrapping their arms around their companions.They seemed disdainful when they saw Harvey’s scrawny face.But after seeing the chips he threw out, they instinctively gasped.A hundred thousand dollars was not much, but it was no small number.After all, the people around the table lived their lives on the knife-edge.They understood that such wasteful people would be from a wealthy family or a ruthless man who treated money as just numbers.Either way, it would not benefit them just to provoke someone of this caliber.T
Harvey York shrugged.“I don’t have much money, but I still can easily do that here…”Harvey threw two hundred thousand dollars worth of chips on the table.“Again! I’m going big!”The dealer looked deeply into Harvey’s eyes before shaking the cup around.“Remove your hands when ready!”Many customers gathered around after hearing that Harvey was doing the Dragon Slayer move.After all, not many knew about that move.A lot more were also following Harvey’s bet. After all, judging from his righteous aura, they would probably earn some money by betting the same.The lid of the cup was taken off soon after.The dealer gave a chuckle.“One! One! Two!“This is as small as it can get!”Harvey, yet again, instantly lost two hundred thousand dollars.The people who followed his bet showed utter disdain, cursing his bad luck.A gentle-looking man showed a profound look before talking.“I see it’s your first time in a place like this.“The Dragon Slayer isn’t an easy move. Even
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
