Everyone, including Journi Stanton, was so shocked that their jaws dropped. They were rendered speechless at that very moment.They all sluggishly stared at the bullseye in disbelief.‘How much time did he even use?’‘A minute…?’‘No! Not even!’‘The country bumpkin already won the moment he made a deal with Journi!’‘More importantly, Journi was the one who set the rules!’‘This is true strength!’Journi quickly regained her composure when her eyes lit up while looking at Harvey York.She naturally knew Harvey was randomly chosen to be the next chairman.In the eyes of the higher-ups, Harvey was nothing more than a joke.That was why Journi wanted to test him.But then, the simple bet was already enough for her to figure something out.Harvey was merely playing dumb!Not just the crowd…Even the higher-ups had underestimated the new chairman!Journi was speechless. She did not even have a fighting chance.She had already lost from the start.“So, you’re giving up alr
‘What did he just say?’‘Little princess?’‘How dare you call Ms. Journi that?!’Everyone was on the verge of lashing out after hearing those words.They thought Harvey York was completely shameless even to call Journi Stanton with such a cute nickname.“The match counts.”Journi seemed a little resentful.“I started the bet, and I also made the conditions. I’ll admit defeat.“From now on, I’m your temporary girlfriend.“That said, this isn’t forever.“We can go shopping and watch movies together…“But, if you want us to go further, you must be my actual boyfriend first.“Otherwise, you won’t even get a chance!”Journi tried to stay strong, but her words could not properly reflect that.She already agreed to go shopping and watch movies with Harvey.It would not take long for them to deepen their relationship either.Maybe then…Journi’s face turned bright red.She had countless pursuers, but never an actual boyfriend.And yet she got her temporary boyfriend through
Without a second thought, Kartier Failes’ eyes burned brightly.He held his rage back as he raised his glass while giving looks to the people around him.“This is the first time Ms. Journi’s ever had a boyfriend!“This means that Harvey’s our prince!“Come! Let’s have a toast for the prince!“We’re not leaving this place till we get drunk!”The others did not understand why Kartier had such a huge change in attitude, but they all followed suit and had a toast with Harvey anyway.Harvey showed a calm gaze without saying a word. Journi went to Harvey’s side while smiling faintly.“Looks like it won’t be easy being my boyfriend…” she said while leaning beside Harvey’s ear.“I’m sure they’ll get you drunk enough so they can make a fool out of you…”Harvey looked at the woman beside him, who was showing an odd smile.“My dear…“Aren’t you scared of something happening between us if I use that as an excuse?”“You…“You’re shameless!”Journi’s face turned bright red.“Quick! D
Harvey York spoke with a sheepish expression, "It's you, Journi."Isn't this wrong, though?"While we're a couple, we've only known each other for a day, but you're already spending the night with me."Will you be responsible for me?"I'm a decent man, after all!"The woman on the bed cursed Harvey countless times in her mind, looking at how Harvey presented himself.However, she still forced a faint smile and said, "Stop being such a smartass."Go and wash up."I'll wait for you."Harvey made a grin and stumbled into the bathroom. His head swayed as if he really had gotten drunk.The woman on the bed immediately jumped up. She did not give Harvey any chance to react and quickly undressed him proficiently.She even handed the showerhead to Harvey, signaling him to take a shower.Harvey had already fallen on the tiles, looking like a drunkard before he was even halfway drunk.When the woman wearing the nightgown saw what had happened, she snickered. Suddenly, she turned on
When Cason Lee's words reached everyone present, they all realized what he was talking about with strange expressions on their faces."Don't tell me… It's the head of our group…""Darn it. Does he really think he can do anything he wants because he just received the title of chairman?""Quick… Bring him out here!""He's really tarnishing the entire Commercial Group's reputation."The guests staying on the same floor were all attracted by the uproar.Some of the men and women who were originally going to share some intimate time in their drunkenness all peeped from the door gap.Journi Stanton also came out of her room after hearing the commotion. After learning everything that had happened, her expression turned stern, and she slowly said, "I believe we shouldn't make any claims before there's any evidence."While Journi had never acknowledged Harvey as her so-called boyfriend, she didn't want them to condemn Harvey for such a crime out of their own imagination."Princess Jour
When Kartier Failes saw Frank Zummo's arrival, he sternly spoke to the security captain, "You came here just in time, Captain Frank."Something terrible happened here tonight."Someone wanted to force himself on Ms. Kennedy. You must see justice is done for her sake.""What?" The shocked expression on Frank's face was obviously faked.Then, his expression turned grim as he stared at the door and said, "Come out here right now. Otherwise, if my men enter, I cannot guarantee your safety."Cason Lee approached Frank and whispered, "Captain Frank, Harvey's the one who wanted to force himself on Ms. Kennedy.""It's him?" Frank instantly revealed a cold smile when he heard the name.He cracked his neck and his knuckles as he approached the entrance. "Darn bastard. I could tell you weren't a good person the first second I saw you."I thought you were just a freeloader or maybe a thief."I didn't expect you to be so bold."Get out of there right now. Break your own hands and apologiz
Harvey York's expression was indifferent. "Apologize?"Why don't you ask your best friend who should be apologizing?"If she can apologize to me properly, I can let bygones be bygones."Otherwise, it will be up to her own fate on how this will end.""You…" When Zhuri Vaus heard what Harvey said, she was so angry that she started to stomp the floor as if her kindness had been completely wasted on someone undeserving."Zhuri, I know you're the chairman's assistant, and you still want to speak on behalf of this sham."But he's a repeat offender no matter how I look at it."Why are you still being so courteous with him?"When Kartier Failes said that, he glared at Harvey with a glint in his eyes."You bastard… You're a lost cause and you're going to be in jail for the rest of your life.""I'll tell Captain Frank to break your hands and your legs first before locking you up at the police station."After hearing Kartier's words, the sneers coming from around them were even more ma
Frank Zummo frowned and said coldly to Harvey York, "What do you want?"Harvey clapped his hands and said in a casual tone. "Aren't you going to call the cops?"Then, call the cops right now."I'll give the evidence to the cops, and my guess is that quite a number of people will have to spend some time there."Don't worry. The evidence I've prepared is especially concrete. I can guarantee that if this reaches the court, the judge won't even be in the mood to discuss the case."Frank was starting to become hesitant when he heard what Harvey had said.It would be bad for a company the size of Country H Commercial Group to get into such a scandal and was made into a huge deal.If the media caught wind of this and reported it, it would greatly affect the reputation of Country H Commercial Group.When Frank thought of that, all he could do was heave a deep sigh and said, "If you can prove that you've been framed, not only will I apologize to you, I will ensure the person behind thi
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
