“But…”Xynthia Zimmer hesitated. She wanted to have a special meal with her brother-in-law as a date…But she could not just say no to Cason Lee either.“Since your professor and classmates are so sincere, it’d be impolite to refuse.”Harvey York smiled. He could tell a lot of things judging from Cason’s behavior.It was good that he came this time.If Mandy Zimmer had been the one who came, there would have been some things that might have been harder to handle.“I’ll come with you tonight.“With that said, you should get a change of clothes. It’s windy tonight.”Xynthia shyly went to the changing room. She did not fully understand what Harvey meant by saying all that.The student with thin lips glared at Harvey before she coldly scoffed.“Let me introduce myself. I’m Veda Blake,” she spoke while looking down on Harvey.“I don’t care if you’re actually Xynthia’s boyfriend.“As long as you know what’s good for yourself, I promise you’ll get plenty of benefits.“But if you
“You want me to leave now?” asked Harvey York.“What do you mean?“I don’t understand…”“Keep pretending then!Veda Blake’s face instantly darkened.“Keep playing dumb!“I brought you here because Xynthia’s reserved and wouldn’t attend such gatherings!“You’re just a sorry excuse to get her here! Understand?!”Harvey smiled.“Since you figured out that much, what’s going to happen if she decides to leave with me after that?”“Heh heh!“Do you think you’re actually impressive?“Do you think we haven’t done anything? We already have you all figured out half an hour ago!“You’re Xynthia’s live-in brother-in-law, aren’t you?“Now that you’re kicked out of the family, you’re still clinging to Xynthia for food!“Xynthia’s been fooled by your ordinary looks for the longest time! When she meets Young Master Rayan and Young Master Kylan, she’ll realize you’re nothing to her!”“You’re here telling me all this when you didn’t even do a thorough investigation?“Aren’t you scared o
Xynthia Zimmer smiled brightly at Harvey York before heading inside while locking hands.The clubhouse was remodeled from an antique courtyard.The place was neatly decorated despite not having a roof. Anyone walking inside would feel as if they had gone back in time.No ordinary person would be able to experience such a luxurious sight.For many people, having a single meal here would be enough to brag for the rest of their lives.A dozen people were surrounding a couch in the middle of the courtyard.All of those people were extremely handsome and beautiful. It was clear they were all prominent figures from the upper social circle.Cason Lee was sitting on the side with his round belly protruding from his shirt.The young people before him were the protagonists at this very moment.They had been waiting for Xynthia and the others for the longest time. They quickly shifted their gazes as soon as they heard footsteps behind them.Their eyes instantly lit up after that.A god
“I heard you’re from the Jean family’s ninth branch, Ms. Xynthia! “I’m from the Hunt family! Judging from this, we must be closer than we thought!”Kylan Hunt squinted with a bright smile.He pointed out his immense identity and emphasized the massive difference between their statuses.He was planning to conquer Xynthia Zimmer both in body and soul.His eyes lit up when he smiled. Even his breathing started to feel a lot heavier then.If this were any other occasion, he would have already forced himself onto Xynthia.He was pretty content with Cason Lee’s gift.“Young Master Kylan.”Xynthia lightly nodded without extending her hand before quietly pushing Harvey York forward with a smile.“I heard that you were the one who picked the role for me, Young Master Kylan.“To show thanks for your acknowledgment, I brought my boyfriend, Harvey, here to thank you as well.”Xynthia clearly knew what Kylan was planning. She never attended a gathering because she wanted to prevent the
The beautiful women disdainfully glared at Harvey York.Naturally, all of them believed Harvey would be lowering their standards if he were to sit with them during their meal. That would be simply embarrassing.“I see. You’re an impressive kept man, alright…”Kylan Hunt realized something before he looked at Harvey with disgust.“As her future husband, there’s something I should be telling you!“People like you shouldn’t stick your head out where it shouldn’t be!“If not, you might just cause your own demise when you get into trouble!”Then, Kylan glanced at Veda Blake.“Honestly, Veda.“How could you get him here in the first place?“Who will take responsibility if he decides to wail on a future star after having too many drinks?”Veda lightly chuckled.“I already gave him money for his family bucket…“But, what else can I do if he doesn’t know what’s good for himself?“Maybe you should give him some more money instead.“He’d probably be satisfied with something more ex
The people here weren’t idiots; they knew Xynthia probably brought Harvey here to act as her shield.However, they didn’t know that the shield could fight back!He was bold enough to even kiss the corner of Xynthia’s lips!Kylan was so angry, he was about to pass out; he had never held Xynthia’s hands, after all!Xynthia’s face was bright red; she didn’t think that her brother-in-law would do something like that either.But thinking back, she figured she wouldn’t have a chance if Harvey didn’t like her mother!She seemed a little down after remembering how Lilian would usually act. With Lilian around, Xynthia probably wouldn’t be able to be with Harvey anyway.While Xynthia hesitated, Harvey had already wrapped his arm around her thin waist and looked forward.“Now you believe that I’m her boyfriend?“In reality, I only divorced my wife because I was into her.“If you feel like you need more proof, you can just ask!“This was supposed to be our little secret, though…”Harve
Kylan’s expression turned severe as he spoke up again.“You’re from the Xavier family, Young Master Rayan. You have an immense identity and a high status…“But you shouldn’t offend Sir York here like that! He might just make your entire family kneel after this! What are you going to do after that?”Rayan seemed completely horrified. “You’re right! Sir York, please don’t mind me! I’ll treat you with respect! Don’t make me kneel!”The crowd burst out laughing.Anyone could tell that Kylan and Rayan were treating Harvey like a joke.The beautiful women were looking at Harvey with disdain, thinking he should’ve just died as a man rather than being this shameless.“Oh, Sir York! You must be quite the impressive man for the prominent figures of the Hunt family to bow to you!”Kylan waved his watch around, his gaze bright, planning to completely expose Harvey.“Let me guess who you are, then!“I heard the chairman of the Country H Commercial Group is about to retire! Someone with th
Before Harvey could say anything, Kylan seized the opportunity and continued his speech.“I didn’t just guess it, Sir York!“You’re like a firefly in the night sky—an impressive man like you would stand out no matter where you go!“How about this? Would it be fine for you to give me your address?“I’ll take my family to kneel in front of your house tomorrow! How does that sound?”Kylan even glanced behind him before showing a furious gaze.“Come! What are you people doing?! Greet Sir York already!“He’s the king of the country’s business world, you know? His pocket change can feed every single one of us for the rest of our lives!“Come! Come! All hail Sir York!”Kylan waved his hand to bring the crowd along, faking their respect towards Harvey. At the end of the day, they only planned to crush Harvey under their feet.The beautiful women couldn’t help but shake their heads at the sight.‘He’s such a handsome man, but he’s this useless? How can there someone be this ignorant?
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
