Liberty pointed at a few people before looking fiercely at Harvey.“In any case…“We’re all people from the upper social circles! We’re all young masters and wealthy ladies!“Mandy is even the head of the Jean family’s ninth branch! She naturally belongs to the circle as well!“Normally speaking, people like us would never even come in contact with people like you. It’s already a huge blessing for you to even be talked down like this.“You should know you’re not worthy to have a goddess like Mandy! Losers like you would never get a chance!“That’s why I’m saying this for Mandy right now.“Since you know the difference between you and us, you should just leave already. Stop pestering Mandy already.”Liberty pulled out a stack of money.“Here’s a thousand and four hundred dollars. Consider this your ticket back to where you belong. No need to pay it back, either. I’m only doing this because I pity you.”Harvey glared coldly at her. Creak!The door was pushed open, and Mandy
Even after hearing Anne’s words, Mandy kept her smile.“I invited all of you here because you’re good friends of mine in Wolsing. Is there a problem?” she asked. “Of course there is. You should know that we invited Young Master Reggie here too, right?” Anne said. “He’s Landen’s son! The vice chairman of the Country H Commercial Group!“Since the chairman’s retiring soon… Mr. Landed will be one of the strongest competitors to the throne!“At the end of the day, people like us need the organization’s support. We need to abide by their rules while doing business domestically, too.“You were the one who organized all this…“But Young Master Reggie’s the important guest! Is your ex-husband even worthy to eat with him?”‘Is he even worthy to eat with me?’ Harvey thought, chuckling.To him, Reggie was the one who had no right.As for the future chairman, he was standing in front of everyone at this very moment.“It’s right to abide by the rules while doing business here…” Mandy s
Harvey felt a little moved after hearing Mandy’s words.No matter how bad her temper was—no matter what happened between the two…One thing was for sure: she would always stand with him.“Heh! He must be pretty good at his job, then!”Anne snuffed out her cigar, smirking coldly. “I wouldn’t even look for someone like this at the club! I’d at least get myself someone with an eight-pack, or a trainee from Country J!“You haven’t seen enough men, Mandy! Maybe I should take you for a stroll in Country J! You’ll finally understand what you’re missing out on after that!”Mandy glared coldly at her. “I’m not interested in hooking up.”Anne curled her lips.“Everyone in the circle knows each other! How are you supposed to act like a wealthy lady without a few pretty boys around?”The women smiled after hearing those words.They hadn’t experienced what Anne did themselves, but they had been hearing about it for the longest time.The men felt slightly awkward, and glared disdainfull
“You should lend me the car for a stroll after our meal, Young Master Reggie. Someone has to warm up your new car, after all!”Anne smiled brightly at him. Reggie threw the car key to her. “Take it. Just give it back when you’re bored with it.”“What a generous man!”Anne seemed intentionally shocked, then glared at Harvey with her long and narrow eyes.“Some people just can’t compete at all! Some treat money like dirt, while others would try their hardest just to take advantage of others…”Harvey ignored Anne’s insults and casually sipped his tea.The tea of the Gare Pavilion was pretty impressive, all things considered.Mandy never liked show-offs; she despised people hiding insults in their own words as well, but she decided not to bring it up since Harvey didn’t mind at all.“Right, everyone.”Reggie snapped his fingers.“My father brought souvenirs after coming back from the Desert Province.“It’s not something impressive; they’re called the Nine Eyed Beads. I heard t
Everyone froze, then gazed deeply at Harvey.A single bead cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, after all.‘This kept man doesn’t even know how to count that many zeroes!‘He’s getting something this expensive just to not sit with us!‘He’s definitely benefiting from this, but this is just embarrassing!’Mandy’s face darkened.Before she could lash out, Harvey had already spoken up.“Forget it. It’s just a bead from a roadside stall that costs a dollar. I don’t need something like that.”Everyone went dead silent, and their expressions turned odd. “What do you mean by that?!”Anne showed a horrible expression.“You’re Mandy’s ex-husband, but you don’t even have the right to come in contact with people in our circle!“How dare you insult Young Master Reggie’s gifts like that? Other than making us hate you even more, what else can you do?!”Mandy froze; she was holding the priceless Nine Eyed Beads in her bag.Thinking closely, the so-called Nine Eyed Beads Reggie gave
‘Formosa? Pickled in chemicals? Skin cancer…?’Everyone froze before instinctively throwing the beads on the table.They were all prominent figures; their lives were worth a lot more compared to an ordinary person.They ate supplements every single day just so they could live a long life without problems.But if the beads were to cause skin cancer…The men showed horrible expressions, while the women were on the verge of screaming.“Formosa? How did you know…?”Reggie quickly explained his situation.“You’re lying! My father brought them back from the Desert Province! How could they be from Formosa if that was the case?! You’re ridiculous!”Clack!Harvey casually split the pink bead into two in front of the crowd.“If the beads actually had history, the color would be the exact same on the inside.“People who aren’t blind can already tell here. The color’s only on the surface.“Even chemicals can’t do that.“I wouldn’t even give a single dollar to buy this.”Reggie gritt
Everyone looked at each other after hearing Harvey’s words.They wanted to say that he was right, but they simply couldn’t risk embarrassing themselves.Anne’s face was bright red, and she kept grinding her teeth.Liberty and the others scoffed, desperately looking for something to say.“You think we don’t know that the beads are fake?“This is about respect! Young Master Reggie gave us a lot of respect for showing up today!“Even if he gave us a damn melon, it’d be the thought that counts! You understand?”She then glared at Mandy.“You’re the host today, but I should still tell you something! He has no right to sit with us! If you’re still planning to let him eat here, then I’ll be leaving!”Naturally, Liberty had no intention of admitting to her fault, nor was she planning on respecting Harvey.Mandy frowned.“If that’s the case, then you should leave right now. Not only am I eating with Harvey, he’s staying at my place too. You have any opinions about that?” she said.
Harvey could sense something wrong after hearing the conversation. Judging from Mandy’s expression, he decided not to cause her more trouble since she hadn’t figured out the waters here yet.“Right, everyone,” Harvey said after standing up.“I understand now. It’s all my fault.“I have no right to eat with you people.“I barged in here only because I missed Mandy.“I’ll leave now.“Another thing; tell Reggie something for me. If he’s going to cause trouble, then just come at me!”Harvey winked at Mandy while setting an elegant-looking box in front of her before leaving the room.Mandy froze, clearly moved. She understood what Harvey was doing; she knew he didn’t want to make things harder for her.After fighting in the business world for so long, she was no longer the woman she was before.“Sorry, everyone. It was all my fault,” she said while smiling at her rascally friends, forcing her feelings back.“Come on, let’s talk about anything else other than work.“Sorry about t
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
