As she spoke, Julie pulled everyone to their seats. However, she didn’t get one for Harvey, as if she wanted him to leave.Mandy wanted to introduce Harvey to the rest, but there was simply no hope for that at this point. If she did, a huge fight would surely break out.She looked helplessly at Harvey, signaling for him to stop causing trouble and go outside.-At the same time, an armed helicopter landed at the border hundreds of miles away from the outskirts.“There’s still less than a mile before we reach Country H’s border.“We’ll be fine here, but the Border Force will take action if we keep getting closer!“We have no choice but to put you down here!”The pilot looked respectfully at a Western man, who was crossing his legs.The man was bald, and his face was covered with tattoos. He exuded a harsh aura; despite the fierce wind, he was wearing no seatbelts. “No need.”The bald man squinted outside the window, as if he could see the outskirts clearly.“You should go b
Conrad, looking annoyed, was about to light up his second cigar…Just then, one of his subordinates felt his ear tingle. He looked into the distance with his telescope.“Mr. Conrad! Look at that!” he exclaimed, gasping.Conrad instinctively looked over, and saw something resembling a meteor traveling down in the dark sky.“Is that a meteor? Why is it so big?”Before Conrad could take a picture for his mistress, the “meteor” kept expanding until it became a human figure—the figure could be seen crossing his arms in the air.“How is that possible?! Is he flying?! Is he being hung up by wires or something? Is this a movie set or what?”Everyone looked at the sky, dumbfounded. Bam!A loud sound was heard as the door landed on the ground from the sky; a burning smell wafted in the air, and the door shook lightly on the ground.The figure hopped away from the door using the force of impact; he didn’t make a single sound during the entire process.This technique wasn’t something t
“Do we have more specifics?” Salem asked.Conrad had asked around about the situation. “I don’t have proof, but I suspect that it’s a guy named Harvey York. I looked into him; he’s just a student…”“A student?”Salem scoffed.“He must be from some sacred martial arts training ground, or he’s a young talent from a family of martial artists.“But so what? Master Henrik is near-invincible! There’s a huge chance he’d be the one to unite man and nature!“Compared to us, all these families and sacred martial arts training grounds are nothing but filth!“They will pay for this! That kid’s life is mine!”The air around Salem dropped in temperature instantly.Conrad and the others had a thought: if they went against Salem at this very moment… Salem could probably wipe out every single one of them if he wanted to.Conrad chuckled after sensing Salem’s murderous intent. “Should we go right now? With you here, it’d be easy to rat out the bastard and kill everyone in the Surrey family.”
While Salem was planning his attack, Mandy and co were finally done with their meal at the Mandrake Residence. They all left soon after.Because of Mandy and Julie’s good relationship recently, Julie arranged for Mandy to stay in the biggest property the Kronen Temple had in the outskirts.Mandy was planning to decline, but she realized she could avoid the eyes of the top ten families that way. She quietly accepted Julie’s offer, since she’d have a private space to do things conveniently.On the way back, Mandy and Harvey took the same car.Rhodes was unhappy; since the Benz S Class only had two seats, he had no choice but to get another car.Julie resented Harvey’s shamelessness, but under such circumstances, she couldn’t chase him away. After all, Harvey was still Mandy’s bodyguard in name.“Looks like you’re doing well for yourself, Ms. Zimmer!“Not only are you good friends with a Maiden of the Kronen Temple, but even a young master from the top ten families is trying to be
Half an hour later, the car stopped outside a huge manor in the outskirts’ suburbs.This was the Kronen Temple’s property. A wealthy disciple had donated it a while ago. Not only was it very elegant-looking, it was also equipped with all sorts of safety facilities.Julie had prepared a courtyard for Mandy to rest, while also getting Rhodes one right beside Mandy’s.Simply put, he could reach Mandy immediately if he wanted to.Harvey didn’t say anything about it, though; he was certain that with Mandy’s personality, nothing would happen even if she stayed in the same room with Rhodes.However, she was his wife, so he was still worried. He considered fully committing to his job as her personal bodyguard by staying here as well.After settling their things, the two were about to rest. Just then, Julie’s secretary knocked on the door. She entered, and bowed to Mandy.“Ms. Zimmer, the representatives of the four great tribes would like you see you.”“The four great tribes?”Mandy f
There were two goals that can be achieved in the situation.Firstly, the Surreys wanted everyone to know that they gave out the beads.Secondly, while things would be fine if they could transport the beads to the Aenar Temple safe and sound, they wouldn’t be faulted if something were to happen despite their efforts in preparing enough security.After all, the Surreys had already done everything they could to keep the beads safe. They couldn’t be blamed for anything.As expected of Lennon to be so cunning—one simple move was enough to give his family the upper hand.If this was anyone else, Harvey wouldn’t have minded.But since Mandy was involved, he felt the need to have a talk with Lennon.Rhodes took a step forward, squinting at Ernie. “We know about the situation; we’ll take a look tomorrow.”“Young Master Rhodes, right?” Ernie smiled. “You represent the Wright family, not the Jean family. We’re here to ask for the Jean family’s help.”Ernie looked at Mandy with a profound
The next day…In just three days, all sorts of rumors had been spreading in the outskirts.That the Luster Tribe’s Surrey family was said to have worked very hard to get the Third, Fourth, and Fifth-Eyed Beads.Because of the One-Eyed Bead’s appearance, the Surreys decided to give away the three beads to the Aenar Temple after a long period of love and care.The Aenar Temple prepared a massive ceremony, and gathered all of its disciples to recite their teachings for three whole days to welcome the three beads.To ensure that the beads would safely arrive at the Aenar Temple, not only did the Surreys gather the other three great tribes, but the Wolven Tribe’s Klein family and Higgs family were also invited to raise the security.The investment group of the top ten families agreed to help with the cause, too.The situation became tense in just a single night.International airports, transport stations, and forces from various tribes had shown up.Everyone who suddenly appeared i
Even Mandy was looking oddly at Rhodes.As a part of the top ten families, she knew they would only act based on their own interests.And yet, Rhodes was such a generous man. No ordinary prince or young master could compare to his attitude and selflessness.This young master of a top-rated family was simply extraordinary!Rhodes felt more prideful after sensing Mandy’s gaze toward him; he quickly walked in front of the crowd, his head and chest raised high to the sky.Ernie and the others, who were in charge of safety, bowed after seeing Harvey from afar; they quickly brought over umbrellas and bottled water for everyone as well.Rhodes simply couldn’t hide his smug expression any longer.When both sides were about to strike up a conversation, a convoy showed up from far away.Three Land Rovers at the front and back, all heavily modified. The convoy parked in front of the road. Almost a hundred experts came out, wearing vigilant expressions.Out of respect for the three beads,
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
