“How is that possible?!”Nanako and the others gasped before they instinctively rubbed their eyes.‘What’s going on? How did Harvey manage to dodge the Twelfth Slash? This is unbelievable!’One of Nanako’s followers couldn’t help but slap himself to make sure that he wasn’t dreaming.Takai’s eyes twitched as well.He didn’t think that Harvey would be so fast, with such strong defenses. More importantly, he had such a keen eye that he saw through the attack’s weak spot instantly.Harvey calmly waved his hand before smoothing out his clothes.“My wife bought this for me, and I like it a lot. I’m a little mad that you’re wrinkling it. Maybe you should kneel as an apology.”“You ignorant bastard! Die!”Takai was instantly enraged by Harvey’s mocking words; he couldn’t remain calm any longer.“Thirteenth Slash, Shiranui!”Takai’s sword looked as if it was burning. The raging fire on the blade seemed like it was about to swallow Harvey whole.“Stay back! Stay back now!”Nanako w
“Just go die if you want to so badly! Why would you drag my man into this?! You’re shameless!” Nanako exclaimed.“If anything happens to Asher, I won’t let you get away with this!”Harvey squinted at Takai’s blade without even looking back.“Don’t worry. Your man will survive.“If your uncle can even burn a strand of my hair, I’ll concede.“That said, you look up to your uncle a little too much. I’m starting to think that he had a lot of drugs just to get to this point.“After all, he’s no different from the rest of the people I send flying.”“You…”Takai was enraged; he swung his sword faster, creating a tornado of fire.The fierce fire surrounded Harvey in an instant.Nanako and the others could feel the surroundings getting scorched; they couldn’t help but pray so that they wouldn’t get involved.‘We’re finished! If Harvey can’t defend himself against such a terrifying attack…’They didn’t know if Harvey would die from this or not. But they’d definitely be dragged into t
Before Takai could come to his senses, Harvey took a step forward and swung his palm forward.Compared to what Takai did, it was just a simple slap without any flashy or complicated steps.“What?!”Takai’s expression kept changing; he didn’t think Harvey could still dish out an attack after getting constantly targeted.Judging from the speed and power of the slap, he wasn’t even worn out from the battle, either.Before Takai could form a clear thought in his head, Harvey’s palm was already in front of his face. He had no choice but to hold his sword up, hoping to guard himself from the attack.Slap!Takai was in disbelief; he finally realized that Harvey had no intention to fight him.He was finally slapped in the face. He felt a sharp pain, and his head was constantly spinning; his body shook, and he was sent flying to a huge tree from behind.The tree snapped in half, and he stumbled off the ground.Nanako and the other members of the Kawashima family gasped in disbelief.
It was simply unbelievable. And yet, the truth was right in front of everyone.Takai didn’t just lose—he was utterly defeated. He wouldn’t be able to find an excuse for this, even if he tried.“No… This is impossible…”Nanako felt weak from the shock. “Go! All of you!”The swordsmen and ninjas of the Kawashima family shivered before charging forward. They couldn’t possibly accept such a crushing defeat. Clack!Harvey stomped on Takai’s longsword. Many broken sword shards flew straight ahead.“Aaagh!”Screams of pain were heard; the experts of the Kawashima family were either covering their limbs or rolling on the ground, wailing all the while.The Kawashima family was taken down! Without a shadow of a doubt!Nanako wasn’t the only one shocked—Aryan froze, and so did Miley. Whitley and Billie covered their mouths; they didn’t know what sound to make at that moment. Their minds were completely blank.Romina and the others were also filled with disbelief.Harvey casually
Stefan smiled.“Let me ask you something. Do you think a young God of War like Harvey would come to this place for no reason? Do you really think the outskirts can hold such a prominent figure?”Aryan frowned for a moment. “I don’t think so, but he came here with a plan. If this keeps up, our ceremony might get affected.”Stefan smiled.“Exactly.“What’s the biggest reason such a top talent like him is attracted to a small place like this? The very thing that’s about to show up at the ceremony, of course.“Once the Nine-Eyed Beads are united, one can use it to obtain eternal life!“It’s not just Harvey. I’m sure prominent figures from all over the place have shown up here by now… Harvey isn’t the first, and he won’t be the last either.”Aryan pondered about the situation for a moment. “But there’s no need to hide all this for Harvey…”“That’s simply not true,” Stefan said, standing up.“Soon, the outskirts will be in chaos.“The Aenar Temple has proper support, but that does
“Heh! You think so?”Takai chuckled coldly. He raised his head, to find Nanako looking deceitful. “Stop lying to yourself. Even after ten years, I’ll probably still be no match against that little bastard.“He’s at a level that’s simply terrifying! If he keeps growing, he’ll become the Island Nations’ biggest obstacle!“The Kawashima family can’t deal with a prominent figure like that. He’s destined to rival the entire country!“If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have ended up like this in the first place!”Takai gritted his teeth, furious. Defeat wasn’t scary at all, but being crippled was. What was he going to do for the rest of his life?He badly wanted to strangle the one who instigated the whole thing. It was a shame that he couldn’t do that anymore.Nanako hesitated for a moment.“What should we do now? Now that you’re like this, our family’s strength is mostly gone. We’ve become toothless tigers here…” she said. Takai took a deep breath to calm himself down.“Since th
While the Aenar Temple and the Kawashima family were desperately trying to fix the situation…Harvey was in the police station’s interrogation room. He swirled his soda around as he stared at Asher with narrowed eyes. “Asher… Are you still not going to talk? It’s been six hours.“You should know that if someone tried, you would’ve been bailed out by now. The fact that you’re still here means that your family has actually abandoned you.“The Islanders you rely on are nowhere to be found. Your backer is in hiding, too. Tell me, what else can you look forward to at this point?”Harvey smiled.“If you cooperate with Director Dutch and prove my innocence, you’ll get a chance to free yourself! How simple is that? Are you not going to take it? You won’t survive if you don’t!”Asher raised his head to look at Harvey.“Enough showing off, Harvey!“If you had a way to deal with me, you would’ve done something by now. Since I’m still unscathed, then it means that nobody can touch me. No
Harvey shrugged.“I wouldn’t say that…but since I’m being blamed for something I didn’t do, there’s no choice but for me to get involved, right?“Well, proving my innocence alone isn’t enough.“Aside from the person who framed me… I want everyone involved in the dizzy pill incident to be completely eradicated. If not, I wouldn’t be able to live with myself.”Asher scoffed once more.“You’re strong, but that doesn’t mean that you can do everything you want!“I suggest you leave while you’re still ahead. You can probably live a few more years that way. You won’t gain anything else by knowing too much, unless you want to die faster. “I’ll be honest. A powerful organization is involved in this.“That organization has many members—they have a lot of money, and they’re usually discreet. “More importantly, it’s been around since ancient times. The dizzy pills are just a side product for them. Even without those pills, they still have other ways to make money.“You want to eradicat
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
"Mr. Harvey, I know how powerful you are and how invincible you can be. I also have a lot of respect toward you and wouldn't dare show you any insolence," explained Kenta with a harmonious smile. "However, I need to negotiate with you as it's part of my duties. I hope you can calm down so we can talk."First of all, Ms. Mandy is alright. While it looks like you have to come and save her, you need to trust me when I said if it's not for our effort, the men from Origin Sword Style wouldn't have waited until today. With their powers, if we didn't try and stop them with everything we can, Ms. Mandy would be a corpse now. You have to give credit where credit is due, don't you think? I believe someone of your caliber won't deny it, right?"Secondly, I can swear by the name of the Ruling Royal Family that everything that happened today had nothing to do with us. Since we have decided to make a trade with you, we won't stab you in the back. Our conscience is clear when it's regarding this."
There were two men in extravagant yet classical outfits in the helicopter. Then, one of the men who were a little paler got out of the helicopter. The other man simply showed his face in the shadows of the helicopter's cabin.The man with the pale face gave Harvey a smile and bowed to him from a distance. His etiquette was perfect, and he was remarkably well-mannered.Then, he gave Harvey a gentle smile and said, "Hello, Mr. Harvey. Your reputation precedes you. Allow me to introduce myself. I'm one of the persons in charge of the Sky Plane Admin Board. I'm Fujihara Kenta, a member of the Island Nation's ruling royal family. I'm also Daichi's younger brother. My brother has just given me a call saying that he's waiting for you at Grand City's Paradise Island Restaurant. He hoped that you could deliver the Chapter of Ascension as promised."Harvey's expression turned cold. After signaling Clarion to hold their positions and to protect Mandy, then he walked over and narrowed his eyes.
Mandy looked a little shaken in the smoke, but after she had regained her composure, there was a hint of calmness in her eyes. But the moment she saw Harvey, there was no hiding her joy.The two of them looked at each other. It seemed like it had been a very long time since they last met each other, especially after such a struggle.After hesitating a little, Mandy said breathlessly, "Harvey, you…"And then, she could not continue after that. From being husband and wife, and arriving at this point in time. All she could say was that this was fate. Mandy did not even know how to face Harvey anymore. She was worried that it was all a dream, a dream that she had while she was dying. And once she awakened, she would once again be pulled back into a reality of despair.Once she was sure that it was not a dream, she suddenly cried. "Harvey, it really is you…""I'm sorry. I was a little late. I should have come sooner," said Harvey as he walked over and held Mandy in his arms. He was fee
After Sora had said his piece to Harvey, he immediately roared, "Scram! All of you, move aside! That way, I can consider letting you all live! Otherwise, none of you can leave Sky Plane alive!"Slap!Harvey was not letting Sora have his way. Instead, he slapped Sora's face to the point where he fell to the ground. "Do you think you have the right to order me around?"Sora crawled back up and angrily yelled, "You dare to touch me, you fool?!"Slap!Harvey gave another slap. "So what if I touch you? You think I can't? Come now. Tell me who's the one behind all this?"Sora coldly replied, "There's no one else except me!"Slap!Harvey delivered another slap. "You? It's not that I'm trying to underestimate you, but someone with your brain can't think of such a scheme. Not only did someone leak out information to me, having Sverker to wait for me, even you are here to humiliate my woman. And you tell me there's no one else pulling the strings?"Harvey's expression turned cold. "I'm
All the Origin Sword Style elites only had horror-streaked faces when they saw Sora standing face to face with Harvey. They did not dare to make any move at all. There was no question about it. Harvey's decisiveness and calmness had already filled their hearts with terror to the point that Harvey's gaze were enough to make the elites shudder and fall on their knees.When faced with someone so powerful like Magnus, they had already lost the faith to make any attacks.Harvey looked at Sora, whose face was pale. With a smile, he said, "Do you want my woman to undress?"Sora's eyes twitched as he instinctively wanted to retreat. But in the end, he managed to compose himself. He gritted his teeth and replied, "Impossible! How can you be alive? Sverker went to stop you together with 500 Origin Sword Style elites! It was enough to kill multiple True Warriors! How is it possible that you're appearing before me unharmed!" Sora was almost screaming in the end. There was despair and regret in
