After seeing the sight and hearing Aliza Howell’s words, Whitley Cobb could not help but feel down.She thought Harvey York gifted something good since he was such a powerful man…But she did not think he would be exposed in front of professionals like that.Harlan Higgs let out a chuckle. He tried to mediate the situation.“Harvey’s just a student anyway.“It’s the thought that counts. It doesn’t matter if the gifts are expensive or not.”Aliza gave a cold chuckle. She was not letting Harvey off the hook that easily.“Sure, you can put it that way…“But he’s simply heinous for fooling others with some trash from a roadside stall!“You should really get this man out of here, Uncle Harlan!“He’s making the air stuffy by the minute!”Harlan frowned.He tried to mediate the situation, yet Aliza stuck her nose and ruined everything.Just as Harlan was about to say something, Mandy Zimmer sipped her tea before smiling.“Mr. Harlan, I haven’t deduced if the beads are actually a
Nobody could sense the growing tension between Mandy Zimmer and Harvey York. They were all excitedly looking at Rhodes Wright.“Since you’re here, do you mind appraising the beads?“There’s a huge chance that they’re from a roadside stall. It’d probably taint your eyes, but we should take the opportunity to reveal that man’s true colors.“You’d be able to figure this out quickly, right?”Rhodes smiled at Mandy before looking around him.“I’m a part of the team that Ms. Zimmer hired.“Since she asked me to, there’s no reason for me to refuse.”Rhodes picked up the beads on the table before taking a closer look.Then, he took a deep breath before finally speaking.“These two beads are at least a thousand years old.“These are called Millenium Beads. They’re beads of the legendary Medicine Avatar.“The beads have been used as medicine since ancient times. Wearing the beads long-term would remove sickness from one’s body and promote sleep.”Everyone froze. Mandy looked deep int
Harvey York had mixed emotions after seeing Mandy Zimmer and Rhodes Wright enter the same car.He had been cautious when he came to the outskirts, but he did not expect to be so angered by Mandy like this.“Forget it.Judith Pedler came to Harvey’s side.“She’s at least five years older than us. You don’t have a chance.”Harvey went speechless after hearing Judith’s words.‘I can’t just tell you she’s my ex-wife now, can I…?’The celebration was over an hour later.Many guests had left one after another. Only Harlan, his family, and Billie Higgs’ two good friends remained.Because of Mandy, Harvey was not in the mood to make Aliza Howell kneel as an apology. He was planning to sort things out after getting home.“Where are you going, Harvey?“I have prepared a room for you here. You should stay here for the time being.”Naturally, Harlan Higgs was prepared for this.“No need, Uncle Harlan.Harvey shook his head while skimping past the subject. He seemed to be deep in thou
Harvey York bitterly chuckled. He did not intend to waste more time with the others.But at this point, he simply had no choice but to take them to his home.It would also be good to show Harlan Higgs a little more about him.If not, Harlan might not be able to accept the facts if everything were to be revealed.After all, he had treated Harvey quite well.Because of that, he simply obliged.The group walked up the stone stairs before coming to the mountain’s peak in front of the No .1 villa.Not only did the villa take up most of the mountain’s space, but it was also the one with the most subtle design.Under the dim lights, the entire place seemed like an ethereal wonderland.After all, the people living in the No. 1 villa could look down the entire outskirts with just a glance.After getting close to the villa, Harvey’s phone suddenly rang.Harvey looked at the screen before seeing an unknown number. He waved at the crowd before picking up the call on the side; he guessed
“Are we going back now?“Isn’t Harvey going to let us take a look around?Aliza Howell did not want to leave just yet.“It won’t do if we leave now! We haven’t taken a look inside!“Besides, you’re neighbors with him!“Since you have such a good relationship with him, it’d be good to visit each other occasionally, right?“If you’re not used to the surroundings because of your age, you should head back first.“Billie and I will stay here.”Naturally, Aliza thought she had utterly ruined Harvey York’s reputation when she looked arrogant.After all, Harvey saving her was the biggest humiliation she ever experienced.She had wanted to trample all over Harvey and let everyone know that he was utterly incompetent.More importantly, her good friends would not be in his arms this way.She would be able to introduce them to other wealthy heirs instead.“Forget it, Aliza,” said Judith.“We’re all university mates here. Show him some respect.”“I am though!Aliza gave a cold chuck
A few minutes later, everyone had left.Without even stepping inside the No. 1 villa, everyone could figure out Harvey York was probably Aria Surrey’s kept man. If that were not the case, he would not be living in a place like this.Aria was waiting for him in the villa, looking as if she was about to give Harvey a lesson.Harlan Higgs was at a loss. He did not think Harvey would steep this low.Whitley Cobb also felt a little down.‘Did the Surrey family also know what happened in Mandrake Residence? Is that why they’re acting this quickly?‘My family can’t go against a big family like that!’Billie Higgs and Judith Pedler were at a loss for words.‘He’s a capable man, yet he’s someone else’s kept man…’Only Aliza looked prideful. To her, exposing Harvey was so invigorating!-While completely ignoring the thoughts of others, Harvey casually walked into the living room.Lennon Surrey, casually sipping his tea, stood up smiling after seeing Harvey walk in.“I came on my ow
Harvey York perused the dossier.This was the information about an investment group that the top ten families formed.The person leading the group was Mandy Zimmer. Besides her, people like Rhodes Wright and the others were also involved.Harvey finally understood why Mandy went MIA for the past few weeks after reading the dossier.She must have flown straight to Wolsing after coming to the outskirts, then established the group before returning here.Harvey’s head started to spin after seeing the list of members in the group.Even the most discreet and ordinary person came from the top ten families.A group like this naturally represented the interests of the top ten families here.More importantly, Mandy even became the so-called leader of the group.Harvey was dead silent.“Conrad must’ve contacted the group by now.“Other than Rhodes, he’s the most troublesome person in the group.”Lennon Surrey pointed at the picture of a man hidden in the shadows.“Colby Thompson.“M
Colby Thompson squinted.“That’s all we needed to know. At least we didn’t waste our time coming here.“It’s rare for the top ten families to work together. It’d be bad if we leave empty-handed, right?”Mandy Zimmer and Rhodes Wright were showing horrible expressions.The people behind them also looked gloomy.Almost at the same time, sounds of car engines were heard before a few dark green Toyota Prados were parked.The car doors opened before Conrad Surrey strode out with a huge group behind him.“Hey, everyone…” he said with a smile.“I slapped a few inspectors around since they kept yapping while I was doing paperwork. I wasted some time because of that.“Sorry about that!“If it weren’t for Young Master Rhodes’ documents, I wouldn’t have been out of here!“Truly a reliable person!“Well? Don’t you think that the outskirts is special?“A battleground since ancient times!“It’s been years since the place has seen war, but plenty of historical sites are around!“If any
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
