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
Asher’s expression changed instantly.“If I let Evermore know that you’re the one who provided me with information about the dizzy pills and the organization,” Harvey went on, “what do you think they’d do?”“Would they save you? Kill you? Maybe they’d make your life a living hell…” he added. Harvey opened another can of soda, and put it in front of Asher.After hearing those words, Asher wasn’t as stubborn as before.“I don’t think I can get out of here alive, either,” he finally said, after taking a sip of the soda.“With the crime I’ve committed… Even if I don’t end up dying, I’d be locked up here for decades anyway, right? If that’s the case, why should I tell you about Evermore?“I wouldn’t want to die faster now, would I?”Harvey smiled.“It’s not impossible for you to walk out of here alive. If you’re willing to be a tainted witness, you’d be out of here after about three to five years.“As long as you tell me all about Evermore, I can guarantee you that I’ll deal with
Harvey kept the card and the badges before speaking again.“Since I’m so capable, shouldn’t you be talking right now?”For a while, Asher hesitated. Then, he spoke.“I’m not sure if my information’s correct.“According to the seller of the dizzy pills that I contacted, I suspect that his products came from the Crora Temple—the most mysterious out of the three great temples.“Compared to the vibrance of the Aenar Temple and the Kronen Temple’s desolate nature… The Crora Temple is the most terrifying.”“The Crora Temple…” Harvey muttered, a grim look on his face.-After receiving the important news, Harvey calmly left the police station. He trusted Dutch to do the right thing, so he left Asher in Dutch’s hands.He went back to his villa as if nothing had ever happened.The entire place had been ransacked, so it looked quite messy. Harvey didn’t mind it at all; after sitting down for a moment, he decided to make himself some tea.He had only been in the outskirts for just a fe
"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
Boom! Boom! Boom!Someone started using Sky Plane's Martial Art Weapons, the legendary Emerald Jewels. They immediately threw it at Harvey the moment they set them to explode. However, none of them could even touch Harvey.Harvey calmly stepped forward, his footsteps light and gentle as if he was simply taking a stroll in his own backyard. However, every step he took managed to make him avoid all the attacks.300 feet. 150 feet. 100 feet…Harvey was not moving quickly, but he was closing in to Sora. It was as if nothing in this world could stop Harvey from pacing forward. Instead, all the Origin Sword Style elites seemed to have despair in their eyes.Harvey was not a man… He was a monster! No, even a monster could not do what he did!Whoosh!At this time, countless elites jumped down from nearby buildings from all around Harvey. All of them slashed downward with their swords. They were Sora's bodyguards.But before they could even get any closer, Harvey picked up a few leaves
Sora was also quite scared about Harvey. Most importantly, this was a trap set up for Harvey. As Sora's guardian, Sverker was away setting up the trap. But… Sverker did not send him any messages and Harvey was still alive?What was happening?Could it be that even Sverker was…Sora's body shuddered when he thought of the possibility. In the next instant, he roared as if had injected himself with a stimpack. "Attack! All of you! Kill him! You must kill him!"It was obvious that he did not expect Harvey to be here. No matter how Harvey managed to survive, they had to kill Harvey. Otherwise, no matter how powerful he was, he was going to die here!"Yes, sir!" All the Origin Sword Style elites cried out and pounced at Harvey immediately. However, just when they were making their moves, Harvey was also moving forward with a calm expression. He was not fast, and his expression was not full of viciousness. But the calmness was enough to make Sora shudder.Sora roared out again, "Kill hi
When Seven and the other bodyguards heard about taking revenge and the heroes' sacrifices, they were filled with fury and sorrow. They even gritted their teeth. However, all they did was just clenched their jaw and they did not do anything else.To them, death meant being wiped out. If they were wiped out, then no one would know what happened here, and no one could avenge Mandy's death. That was why in such a situation, they should have simply endured this and get their revenge later.But… To people like Seven, it was worse than death if they were to see their leader being humiliated before them. The bodyguards exchanged looks. They were going to all make their moves at the same time, knocking Mandy out and taking her with them.Rather than having to survive on the run, they would rather try and see if they could survive this. If they really died, it would be up to fate to see if they could get their revenge later."Don't come near me! Otherwise, I'll kill myself first!" warned Man
"No! You mustn't!" Seven's expression immediately darkened when he saw what Mandy was doing. "Sora doesn't have any honor, nor does he have a bottom-line! If you believe him, you'll only end up being toyed by him! He'll humiliate you and then kill you! He'll even kill us all before you to crush your spirit!"You know that even if we can escape the Clover Hotel, we can't escape Sky Plane! If that's the case, why do you need to abandon your pride?" Seven reasoned with Mandy, hesitation written all over his face. "Ms. Mandy, allow us to die with you! We will fight until the very end! You cannot give up just like this!"All the other bodyguards said with pained expressions, "Ms. Mandy, if we're going to die, we don't mind dragging a few more people down with us!""There's no need to fear death! It's more important to die with pride!"It was obvious that no one here wanted to die! But at the same time, they did not want Mandy to trade her body just to get them a moment of safety! Their
