A painful scream echoed in the air. Haruka, who had lived a pampered life, never expected Harvey would take such action against her. She was in so much pain that she shuddered and fell on the floor, buttocks first. She was in a terrible mess.Leighton and the other higher-ups of Hexagon Inc. fell in a daze, thinking that they had probably seen wrongly.How could someone treat Haruka like that? While she was quite arrogant, she had the right to be arrogant.Not only did Harvey care little about it, but he seemed to be even more arrogant than Haruka. Haruka would at most verbally humiliate someone else, but Harvey acted physically instead.Haruka was one of the key members of Hexagon Inc.'s Far East Division. Just the fact that she was from the Ito family was already reason enough that not everyone could simply earn her ire. Not to mention, she was backed by something even more terrifying—Shinto Way, the leader of the Six Schools of Martial Arts.It was said that the most prodigio
"What kind of consequences?" Harvey asked casually. "Forget about one finger; it's nothing unusual even if I break all ten of her fingers. The Island Nation want to use the Country H Commercial Group to sow chaos in our own market? Such intentions deserve nothing but the harshest punishment!""Police! We have to call the police!" All the members of the higher-ups cried out in anger when they heard what Harvey had to say. It was a normal reaction for them to run amok when their intentions had been revealed."Police? That punishment is too light for the likes of him!" Haruka said as she finally regained her composure. She pulled out her phone and sent out a message. "Since he made a move first, everything we do now is self-defense. Cripple him and make sure he suffers, then we'll force the Country H government to give us an explanation!"No one can trample over us when we're overseas. If we don't make them remember this pain, how are we supposed to run our business here?"When the ot
The remaining dozen or so swordsmen from Shinto Way glanced at each other before charging at Harvey, screaming. They were cursing in their language, showing just how brutal they really were.However, Harvey did not mind so much. He simply took a step forward and entered the fray. He either gave them all a slap with an open palm or with the back of his hand.As the slapping sounds echoed in the air, the elite warriors from the Island Nation were all thrown away. The elite Islanders group collapsed on the ground in less than ten seconds. All of them were holding their heads as they felt like they were seeing stars.When Leighton and the others saw what happened, they blinked in disbelief. It was obvious that they never expected Harvey to be so strong.Harvey tossed the paper towel he was wiping his hand with on the ground and turned to Haruka, saying, "Looks like the people you bet your hope on are quite disappointing. Should I give you some more time so you can call more reinforceme
After hearing Harvey's words, Haruka noticed something and asked, "You know Haru?"Harvey stopped before turning around and smiled. "Not only do I know him, I've slapped him too. What, you feel like surrendering now?""Shut up!" Haruka said, almost grinding her teeth away as she clenched them. "I don't care who you are, Harvey. But you're nothing before Haru! He will kick you away! Only then will you know the consequences of offending the Islanders!"When that happens, no one will forgive you even when you crawl on the ground like a dog!"Harvey heaved a sigh, immediately turned around, and kicked her in the face. She instantly fell and rolled on the ground. When she sat back up, she coughed out a mouthful of blood."I hope you can be smarter about this. Because if you don't, you might not be able to survive until tomorrow."-On the second day after Harvey had been assaulted to the point that Haruka had lost her teeth, Harvey and Journi received a message. Country H Commercial
"That's right! Harvey crossed the line! How could he have attacked Ms. Haruka and even broken her hand in a place like that?""Not only have we made enemies of Hexagon Inc., but we have also crossed the Ito family!""We also have gathered information about you, Harvey. You're the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance, right? You've gotten used to dealing with every problem martially, right? You can't do that in the business world!""Your aggression would only bring disasters and malice toward the commercial group. It won't serve our interests at all!""Everyone, we have already decided to go along with Mr. Leighton's suggestion to invoke the unique procedure to dismiss Harvey from being the future chairman!"Many of the members of the board, who had been bribed last night, nodded in agreement. All of them said that what Harvey had done yesterday had completely broken the rules within the business world.Because of what Harvey had done, the commercial group had fallen into a
"I see…" Elric said as he squinted his eyes, leaning against the back of the chair. "Journi, it's nothing since Harvey didn't know how the commercial group works, and he might get a little aggressive. But you've been here for so many years, so shouldn't you know how business is conducted and how negotiations are made?"We are businessmen. Profit means everything to us. If he doesn't even know that, how is he supposed to lead the commercial group to glory? He hasn't become the chairman yet, but he has already caused the commercial group to be sniped by the Island Nation in all areas. If he really became chairman, how is he supposed to explain this to the members of the commercial group and the people of this country?" reasoned Elric with a justified tone.At the same time, Elric glanced at Harvey, saying he really wanted to help him, but what was he supposed to do when he was at such a disadvantage? "Harvey, I'm a little disappointed in you…""Disappointed? What for?" Before Journi c
It was obvious that Elric held a lot of resentment toward Harvey for becoming chairman legitimately. Many people there also nodded, saying that Harvey had to resign and leave in all sorts of manner.Harvey smiled dryly and said, "Oh, will you go back on your words in less than two days after supporting me, Mr. Elric? Is this your so-called sincerity?"Elric's expression did not change much as he said, "You're the one who caused all this, so of course you have to bear all the responsibilities! I promised that I would help you become chairman, I didn't promise to clean up every mess you've made, too! This isn't my fault.""That's right," replied Leighton with glee. "Since you've already caused this mess before even becoming chairman, what else can you do other than resign? If we let you continue things this way, the entire Country H Commercial Group will collapse!"This was the result that Leighton wanted to see. If Harvey had to leave, he would have a chance to become chairman. He w
"What? The Islanders are here?""Is Haruka here to stir up trouble?""Darn it! Don't tell me the Islanders are here to announce the commercial group's downfall?""Oh, no. Oh, no. Not only is Harvey going to die this time, all of us are going to get involved in this!"After a moment of silence, all the higher-ups in the commercial group could not control themselves anymore. All of them were shuddering as their faces turned pale, as if someone they loved had just died.It was apparent that they had believed the Islanders would not spare them this time. Even Elric's expression turned dark. It would be challenging to settle this after they had attracted the wrath of the Islanders."Ms. Ito. Mr. Miyamoto. This way, please!"When Elric and the others stood up straight on both sides, they could already see a group of Islanders walking in with pride. The one leading them was Haruka, who had her hand bandaged. Haruka was walking with her head up high, as if she would get her revenge toda
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
