As Haru made his final plea, he immediately stood up and kicked Haruka to the ground. Then, he gave her a few slaps."You witch! Mr. Harvey has already shown you mercy by just breaking your hand! How dare you stir up trouble targeting him! I'm telling you, no matter how he wants to punish you today, let him punish you! Accept it without resistance! I'll kill you myself if you resist!"Haru kept glancing at Haruka when he had his back against Harvey. This fool… Why did she offend such a person? Other than Shinto Way, all the younger generations of the other five schools had already been obliterated by him. Even a few sword saints from the older generation lost to him!The only reason Shingen believed he had the power to go against Harvey this time was because he had made a lot of preparations. He had gambled 30 years of the Island Nation's fate on this. But he really could not. Not to mention, Haru also believed if he dared to speak on Haruka's behalf, Harvey would immediately kill h
"Alright, Haru…" Harvey said calmly. "Enough with the courtesy. Out of all the Islanders I know, you're one of the few who knows what's good for them."Haru was briefly delighted. "You must be joking, Mr. Harvey. We Islanders love the culture of Country H. Of course, we know what it means to make the right decision at the right time. You can do whatever you like today."Harvey smiled and looked at Haruka, who was already kneeling on the floor. "Looks like you didn't take what I said yesterday seriously. Come now, show me the finger you've just used to point at me…"Haruka wept as she extended her left hand. Harvey calmly said, "Haru already said that not only must we admit to our mistakes, but we should also accept our punishment. So… My apologies."Even before Harvey finished his sentence, he had already reached out his hand and grabbed Haruka by her finger. There was a snap, and Haruka's face turned pale as she shuddered in pain. However, she did not dare to show a hint of viciou
"Mr. Leighton, since you have a deal with Harvey, you must hold your part of the bargain. There's no need for him to do this personally. I will oversee the entire process myself." Leighton had not even had a chance to say anything, but Elric had already spoken first."With someone like Mr. Harvey leading us for the next several years, perhaps even the next few decades, the commercial group will reach greater heights! From now on, whoever is opposing him is also opposing me!" Leighton and the others were filled with despair when they heard what Elric had to say. At that moment, they finally understood that their time was over.Harvey looked at Elric with a meaningful smile. He thought if Leighton wanted to resist him, he would teach Leighton a lesson he would never forget. But Elric's decisiveness finally made Harvey understand what a true fence-sitter looked like.After he was done with the Country H Commercial Group, Harvey's position as the chairman was secured. While he did not h
After berating Leighton, Nicholas looked at the entrance into the Judd of Wolsing's residence with even darker eyes. When he returned from Dark Island this time, he only brought back limited resources.Stealing some of the resources from these huge families was one of his core plans for his return. Since the plan to take over Country H Commercial Group had failed, he could not fail when it came to taking over the Judds of Wolsing. When that thought crossed his mind, Nicholas contemplated and sent out a text message.-The following day. The Judds of Wolsing.On the previous night, Veer's mother was once again hit by another wave of illness. They could not solve it despite inviting all the best doctors they could through the night.Last night, one of the doctors who had some skills in mysticism and geomancy said that the reason she fell ill once again probably had something to do with geomancy.That was why Veer personally gave Harvey a call in the morning.However, seeing that
After hearing what Veer had to say, the way Marlee looked at Harvey became even more awkward. While this was a decision made by the higher-ups, it was obvious that they did not have much trust for Harvey despite him being named their geomancy advisor.But this was normal. Harvey had only left for a few days before something happened to her grandma again. She could not blame them for thinking that Harvey was not that much of an expert himself.Harvey did not pay much mind to it and simply shook his head at Marlee, signaling to her it was fine. Only after that did he narrow his eyes and look in front.When all the people heard Veer was willing to offer up 20% of his total share as thanks, they became excited. Since after they had obtained these 20% shares, no matter how bad their life would be in the future, something that would never change was the fact that they were shareholders of the companies belonging to the Judd family.They could earn quite a lot without doing anything yearl
Marlee leaned closer to Harvey and whispered, "Is this Master Elaris very powerful?"Harvey calmly replied, "He's probably quite powerful. Maybe he can permanently dispel whatever that is haunting your family."While he had some clues, Harvey could not tell what was happening within the residence for now. Since he could not find the reason for her illness, he could not give them an answer yet.Marlee frowned. While Master Elaris also looked exceptionally talented, she did not believe he could be more capable than Harvey.When Master Elaris had everyone's attention, he said to all present, "I will be straightforward, everyone, as per how a monk should be. Everyone here wants the shares and intends to be the major shareholder. Once we have those shares, it can benefit our children and their descendants. I believe all of you know this much."But the question is, there are so many people here today. There's no way that all of us can perform our techniques together simultaneously, corr
Master Osborne made himself look imposing as he put on a pagan hand seal using his right hand before pointing his finger at Master Elaris.And then, the wooden sword behind seemed to hum and vibrate. It flew out of its sheath, floating in mid-air.All the other geomancy masters looked at this scene with shock. Not everyone could do that."The Animate Sword technique? Wait, no…" Harvey was shocked. At first, he thought this was the Animate Sword Technique that existed within the purview of martial arts. But after giving it a better look, it was not.It was simply one of the techniques used in mysticism.When it came to geomancy and mysticism, the ones that Harvey was more familiar with were the ones used to murder, since he was an expert in the killing of others. However, the Animate Sword Technique that Master Osborne used seemed to remind him of the sleight of hand used by street magicians. That was not something that Harvey understood.Ven Marlee was quite surprised. As someone
When Master Elaris saw that Master Osborne from the Thatch had surrendered, he smiled. "You've learned your lesson well!"Meanwhile, Mater Osborne quickly retrieved his wooden sword. Then, he started cleaning it as something he cherished very much. He thought he could make a name for himself today, but he never expected that he would be completely humiliated instead.When everyone else saw what happened to Master Osborne, their expressions turned pale. Master Elaris from the Warding Temple… His powers seemed to be beyond their imagination.Unless one possessed power; otherwise, they would end up just like Master Osborne of the Thatch. Were they expected to be humiliated just like that?"Alright, everyone. Is there anyone else here who has an issue with me? Feel free to demonstrate your powers. If there's no one else, then there's no point in fighting over this anymore. I shall aid the Judds in fighting against this curse of theirs." Master Elaris even took out a string of beads and
"That's her, Big bro! According to my spy, he said Juliana is no longer hiding it and cheats openly! I didn't want to believe it, but from the looks of it, she's been cheating all this time!" Alexei said to Harvey. He was so upset that he almost cried.Harvey frowned. "That's all you know? What else do you have?"Alexei quickly took out his phone. "My spy has just sent me all the information. Juliana went to Lost City for further studies, and she studied well. Originally, according to the promise made, she should already be back about half a month ago so we could get married. However, she got to know this man called Hawk John at her graduation party. The two became fast friends. She even announced that they're best friends forever!"I thought they were just ordinary friends, but from the looks of it… That isn't it at all! Forget hiding it, Juliana's directly taking him back! I hate this!" Alexei slammed his chest, as if he were in a lot of pain.Harvey was speechless. "Seriou
Harvey's eyes started to twitch as he immediately gave Alexei a look. It was a call for help.Alexei shrugged. There was nothing he could do. However, it was exactly at this time that his phone suddenly started to vibrate. He gave it a weird look and picked it up. Then, he was stunned… He was practically frozen. No longer caring about anything, Alexei immediately ran over to Harvey and hugged his legs tightly. "Bro! Big bro! You have to help me! You must!"Alexei instantly started crying.Harvey promptly bent down and held Alexei's shoulder. As if he had found a way out, he said solemnly, "Don't worry, Alexei. I've always treated you like my own little brother. Your problem is also my problem. Even if the world is collapsing, I will protect you. So, stop worrying!"Alexei was so touched that he couldn't stop himself from weeping. "You're treating me so well, Big bro, even after I sold you out to my Senior…"Harvey's eyes twitched again. "We're family! What can I say? Let's
Harvey's eyes instinctively twitched. "It belongs to me, so why can't I stay here?"Vaida said worriedly, "Now that Grand City is so chaotic and the Sacred Lands are on the verge of getting into a fight, it's really dangerous if you stay outside. Both my father and I are worried about you. So… Shouldn't you move back?"Harvey led Vaida into the living room and said with a smile, "Don't overthink things, Vaida. It's exactly because things are getting unruly that I should stay in Dragon Gate Training Hall to be a stabilizing presence as their scion, right? Not to mention, I've bothered all of you too much all this time. I have too much going on. If I stay there, it will only bother the mayor, Mr. Wenzel, and Mr. Geoffrey. So, it's better if I stay at my own place."However, Harvey paused when he reached this part of the conversation. "Of course, if there's a need, all you need to do is to give me a call and I'll be there."Vaida nodded. "Harvey, other than the reason you've given us
Mandy was a little startled, then looked at Harvey with a strange look. "You're in such a rush to get rid of me? Don't tell me you really want to be the mayor's son-in-law? I've been here less than a day, and there are already plenty of people warning me about you becoming one."Harvey rolled his eyes. "Don't listen to their nonsense. If I really wanted to be his son-in-law, I wouldn't have gone to save you.""Then why are you in such a rush to send me away?"Harvey sighed. "There are really some things that are beyond my abilities. Let's use what happened this time with Clarion as an example. It's true that I let him take the glory, but after doing that, Dan now considers me an enemy and a thorn in his side. "As a member of the Top Ten Families, you have some understanding of him, don't you? Since he can't deal with me effectively, he'll definitely start with you. The reason I'm asking you to leave is for your own safety."Mandy clicked her tongue. "If Dan really wants to do
Emery slowly flipped and opened the Chapter of Ascension. The Chapter itself was old, written with small letters. Accompanied the original texts were notes and some insights.Emery only believed a portion of the rumors regarding the Chapter of Ascension. After reading through the notes and personal reflections, he could ascertain that the Chapter of Ascension was genuine.What was written inside the Chapter of Ascension was indeed capable of completely changing a martial artist's way of thinking.As he read through it, Emery was already subconsciously trying to test and start training by following what was recorded within the Chapter of Ascension. He had just started to let the energy inside of him flow, but had already noticed that his power, that reached a bottleneck for some time, started to have a breakthrough.In just an instant, Emery could already feel somewhat stronger. It was only a small amount, but it was enough to excite him. It meant that the Chapter of Ascension w
The Wright residence, Wolsing.When Janus got out of a Rolls-Royce Cullinan, it was around midnight. He looked around carefully before quickly entering a courtyard within the residence, holding a wooden box.He walked through the corridors with full familiarity and entered a study.Emery, the Number One Young Master of Wolsing, was quietly holding a piece of gemstone, brushing it against his thumb.Janus didn't run in. Instead, he waited until Emery was done looking at the gemstone before entering. "Good evening, sir."Emery raised his head and glanced at Janus. "So? Did you get it?"Janus smiled. "Is there anything in this world you want that we can't get for you?"He carefully put the small box on the coffee table and smiled."While Harvey and that idiot Hale are all quite good," he said, "they're all pawns playing to your tune. This time, with Daichi working for us and Sky Plane suffering such a huge loss, we finally have it in our hands. If those monsters from Sky Plane kne
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
