“You all!”William Bell was shocked beyond belief.He genuinely could not believe that the friends that he trusted would use ways like this to force the truth out from him…“Quick, seize him!”A person from the Silvas ordered.At the next moment, William was in despair, his eyes shut tight and then jumped backward into the river.In his helplessness, this was his only choice. He did not have any other way out.After watching the whole video, Harvey York’s face had turned as dark as night.Bang!Harvey smashed a teacup beside him with his fist.The teacup made out of solid marble was actually shattered to smithereens by his fist, with the sound of clattering of the pieces on the ground.The murderous aura on Harvey had remained the same. At that moment, even the room felt like it had gotten colder.Harvey did not think that William would have something like this befell him after he had left Buckwood for the past three days.And to defend his grounds, William did not want to
On the next day.Harvey York had arrived at the Cloudes’ Media Company early in the morning.Harvey came to the office hall and saw Margie Cloude’s giant poster.Margie on the poster seemed gloriously radiant and charming, as if she were a goddess.“She’s just some family’s collateral relative. She was only a little-known on the internet during that time, not bad being able to get this far…“But selling out her own boyfriend, heheh…”Harvey looked at the poster closely and leaked out a smile as cold as ice.Yvonne Xavier on the side whispered, “CEO, I’ve set an appointment with Margie Cloude beforehand. It’s almost our turn.”“Oh, right,” Harvey said calmly.Since they were there for Margie, they should play by her rules. He was not in a rush anyway.Not long after, a receptionist walked over.“Mr. York, it’s your turn. Please come this way...”At the CEO’s office on the highest floor.A few security guards were stationed at the front door.After a thorough body search, H
“Impossible! This footage is fake! How could I possibly harm William Bell?!”Margie Cloude immediately denied the accusation.Harvey York leisurely stood up and said, “Right, I’ll be going then. Don’t regret it!”“Hold on, tell me what you want?!” Margie immediately asked.“What’s the point of me admitting that I did do it anyway?“You’re no better yourself! You don’t give footage like this to the police, but instead you try to blackmail me with this. You’re not a good person either!”Naturally, in her eyes, Harvey was already prepared to use the footage to threaten and blackmail her.She barely realized that Harvey only wanted to toy with her and let her taste the pain and helplessness that William suffered before he died.“One price, one hundred and fifty million dollars!” Harvey said with a smirk on his face.“What? One hundred and fifty million? You are mad! Why don’t you blackmail the Silvas instead?!” Margie screamed furiously.Harvey chuckled and said, “The Silvas have
“Could the footage possibly be fake…?”Jonathan Maxwell was the first to ask. He found it to be a bit unbelievable since there were quite a number of fabricated incidents as of late.Margie Cloude frowned and said, “I thought so from the beginning, but I repeatedly checked the footage while I was waiting for you all. It’s definitely real.”“So, that means once this footage gets out there, we’ll all be exposed?” The most timid one out of the three, Tommy Ray said with a frown at that moment.The last one named Ted Dunn nodded and said, “It’s not that big of a deal if we get exposed.“The problem is, if we did get exposed, so will the Silvas.“The Silvas would definitely end us for their family’s reputation. How could you all not know what kind of man Prince Silva actually is?”Jonathan frowned and said, “What do we do now?”Margie said helplessly, “That’s why I called you all here. Did you think I’d just invite you for no reason?”“There’s not many ways of dealing with this. Ei
Once everything was prepared, Margie Cloude did not anxiously call Harvey York in a hurry. She knew that being hasty would not get her anywhere.When the time was almost ripe—it was almost ten o’clock, she then gave Harvey a call.“Mr. York, I’ve prepared the money but these are all in cash. It’s quite inconvenient to bring it around.“I’ll give you the address of a private club. Remember, you must bring the original copy of the video here, and you have to promise that there are no other copies!“If not, I won’t hand you the money!”Margie sounded like she did not trust Harvey, but that all could be acted out—everything would seem more realistic.Harvey agreed to her terms.“Sure, wait for me there. I’ll see you in a bit.”After a moment, Margie sent Harvey the location through her phone.It was a private clubhouse, she had paid for the whole place at that time. All four of them were present.Because the chosen place did not have any relations to any of them.Picking a place
“That’s right! Give us the original footage, or we’ll break your legs and then we’ll kill you!” Ted Dunn threatened.Naturally, their own interests were being threatened by this incident, hence why those people were acting as one.Harvey York’s smile on his face started to turn colder and clapped his hands.“Not bad, this is interesting. So William Bell was threatened and bribed into submission like this by you people back then?“And you’re trying to send me to see him?”Margie Cloude coldly said, “Harvey, we’re giving you a chance. If we can take out the filth, then we can take you out too!”“I’m so scared!” Harvey said mockingly.“Since I’m so scared, I didn’t bring the original footage here. Instead, I let another person bring it for me, he’s about to arrive.”“What? You didn’t bring it with you?”Margie and the others were shocked. They took everything into account, but not the fact that Harvey would not bring the original footage with him.“Whatever, just kill him for no
“Are you all taking this matter too lightly? You bring in five so-called killers from a gang to kill my CEO? Are you even kidding me?”Tyson Woods raised his head and stared at Margie Cloude and the others.A gang boss on his own turf would have a certain bearing.After he spoke, he sent shivers up the spines of Margie Cloude and the others.Margie and the others were quivering while shifting their gaze simultaneously toward Tommy Ray .He was the one that hired the killers, but who knew that they would be finished off this easily?Tommy then helplessly said, “I relied on so many connections to even find the killers from gangs. Who knew they were this weak?!“Besides, even if they were strong, how would they even be useful in a situation like this?!“You’re the one to blame. I really wanted to just hand the money and be done with it! What are we supposed to do now?!”Margie looked at the worthless sack of trash that was Tommy and Jonathan Maxwell along with Ted Dunn shivering
On the next day.At the Silva Manor, a coffin was sent to the front entrance and wreathes were decorated around it.The area around the Silva Manor belonged to the Silvas, that was why nobody else was alarmed.But the Silvas soon knew.The Silvas were a traditional and ancient family, things like this were taboo for the family.Soon after the information was passed down, Leon Silva that was doing his morning practice had gotten the news.He took a bath leisurely, then dressed in a suit and came to the front entrance.A throng of people were crowded at the front entrance of the Silva Manor at that moment; everyone in the family was showing faces as dark as night, especially the elderly. They had almost fainted in a fit of rage.But what was inside it? Who even knew about this?“Who sent this? Does anyone know?”Leon slightly frowned. He was not scared of things like this, but he still felt that it was ominous.The most important part was that it had been years, even the Yorks
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
