“An Island Nation swordsman?”Harvey frowned.Samuel grinned. “This man here is indeed an Island Nation swordsman. He owns a kendo hall in Mordu. He teaches kendo in public, but in secret, he’s been doing heinous things nobody was privy to.”“Did Josh hire him?”“That’s right. Look at it as two birds with one stone. He planned to have this swordsman challenge you to a duel to the death if I didn’t kill you.”“If you lose, you die. If you win, you’ll cause more trouble for yourself and attract other Island Nation swordsmen.”Harvey narrowed his eyes without saying a word.Five disciples of Longmen emerged from the shadows, all of them brandishing long swords.The Island Nation swordsman touched the long blade strapped on his waist. The next moment., a bright light shone.The disciples trembled. Seconds later they fell to the ground, clutching their throats.Their faces showed resentment and disbelief, as they never imagined this man could be so powerful.“Island Nation Kendo.
The Island Nation swordsman exuded an aura that could not be matched by even a thousand enemies.The long blade that he held in his hand was like lightning. Every time he swung it, the blade would let out a terrifying shine.Two disciples of Longmen, wielding longswords, stepped forward at the same time. They clearly looked like they were a league above the rest of the disciples.Their swords shimmered brightly, as if locked on to the swordsman.The swordsman did not move away. Instead, he swung his blade downward.Clang!The two long swords immediately broke in half. The two disciples backed away slowly as they screamed in pain and disbelief. Very soon, they fell to the ground, paralyzed.The other disciples, who had been extremely domineering, dared not rush forward anymore. They and the rest all fell back to protect Samuel and Harvey.But anyone could tell that their courage had been depleted because of the swordsmanTyson frowned. He braved a step forward, then pulled out
Schwing!It was the Island Nation’s kendo again!Kaito did not direct his attack forward, but instead drew a circle around him.Suddenly, a bright halo surrounded his body.Slam!The disciples were unable to react to his attack. They were all sent flying, blood spurting out of their chests.This man was powerful!Too powerful!Kaito wielding a short blade was three times stronger than him with a long blade!One slash was enough to kill two dozen men!Kaito marched forward, slashing everyone that stood in his way. In the blink of an eye, more than fifty disciples were lying unconscious on the ground. The disciples protecting Samuel were slowly dwindling in numbers.Longmen’s higher ups and the powerful characters from the underworld felt parched at the terrifying sight.‘He’s strong!’‘This Island Nation swordsman is far too strong!’With such a straightforward killer move, nobody was able to withstand it.Tyson pressed onto his sword, his eyes twitching profusely.He as
“You should end your own life now.”Samuel said calmly.“If you wait for me to do it for you, you’ll end up with a horrible death.”“End my own life?!”Kaito chuckled coldly.“Who do you think you are?!”“You people from Country H are always boasting about your country’s martial arts and it’s long history, but it’s all just a facade!”“What exactly gave you the courage to talk to me like this?”“Do you not know what death is?”One of Samuel’s aides walked forward with a cold expression on his face and exclaimed, “To disgrace the master of Longmen, you’re looking for your death!”“The master of Longmen?”Kaito’s face was icy.“A poor old man dares to show off nowadays?”“You think any ordinary person can just act arrogantly in front of the Island Nations’ Shindan Way?”“Nonsense! People from Country H are sick beasts from the far east!”Kaito’s face was filled with scorn. He naturally assumed that Samuel was a useless person who pretended to be powerful.“Sick beasts fr
News spread not long after Harvey left.One of the top talents from Island Nations, Kaito Yamaguchi, tried to assassinate Samuel Bauer. Josh Ward and his family fought valiantly against Kaito and died in battle!As such, Samuel demanded a statement from the Shindan Way.The spread of the news showed that there were no traces of Harvey’s involvement in the matter.Harvey froze slightly before returning to his senses.Samuel didn’t want Harvey to be known throughout Mordu before he set foot there.It would be appropriate for Samuel to let Harvey deal with matters in Mordu discreetly. This would be beneficial for Longmen as well.At this point, it was already set in stone that Harvey would be heading to Mordu.Back in the Gardens Residence, Mandy was busy handling business regarding South Light’s Zimmer family and could not return home yet.Harvey did not want to bother her, either. It was a great opportunity for Mandy to have risen up in rank. Harvey was a step closer in letting
Harvey did not have a single opportunity to explain anything, even until Kelly hung up the phone.Thinking back on Kelly’s daughter, Hazel, a helpless expression colored Harvey’s face.The lass had been constantly following Harvey before. By now, she must’ve grown into a fine woman. But Harvey was not interested in being the Malone family’s live-in son-in-law.Since Harvey had coincidentally reacquainted with Kelly, he would definitely go meet Kelly’s family after setting foot in Mordu.…It was already nine o’clock at night, but Mandy had yet to return.Harvey was about to go out and look for her at the Zimmer family’s house, but a black Lexus suddenly drove over and stopped in front of Harvey at the front door.Ray came out of the car, a concerned look on his face.“CEO York, Miss Xavier got a phone call an hour ago!”“She handed over all the matters she had for Sky Corporation to me, then sent a resignation letter and headed for the airport!”“She said that she’ll leave
Early in the morning the next day, Ray and Tyson still did not have any news of Yvonne.Yvonne, on the other hand, sent Harvey a text message. There were only two words: “I’m fine”.When Harvey got the message, his heart skipped a beat.When he called back, the phone was disconnected again.Harvey finally decided that he had to head to Mordu, no matter the costs.Because time was of the essence, Harvey did not have the time to inform Mandy about the situation. Harvey let Ethan in charge of Mandy’s safety and help with the Zimmer family’s integration.Ray stayed to deal with Sky Corporation’s businesses.Harvey only brought Tyson along in the end to ride a high-speed rail straight to Mordu.George Zabel and Old Niner, Tyson’s subordinates, were put in charge of gathering intel in Mordu a few days ago. They rubbed their palms together when they found out that Harvey would arrive at Mordu soon, prepared to make breakthroughs in their discovery.Throughout his ride on the high-spe
Harvey York remained indifferent. Then, the right hand was about to shove toward him unconsciously.At this moment, a gentle voice full of authority came from the dining car. “Yona Lynch, don’t act recklessly!“We were already in the wrong for occupying the dining car. Hitting people at will is even more distasteful.The arrogance on Yona’s face dissipated after hearing those words. She then lowered her head and replied, “Yes.”She then glared at Harvey with her big eyes after she finished speaking and stepped aside reluctantly.Harvey did not even look at her and walked straight into the dining car.There were not many waiters in the dining car, there were only two people, and there was a table in the middle.The men and women standing there were middle-aged men and women. Although their clothes were not that gorgeous, they had a very extraordinary aura with an aristocratic demeanor. They seemed to be either rich or noble.Only one middle-aged man was sitting in the scene. The
"That's right!" exclaimed Geoffrey. "You should come down now or let him get closer to check up on you!""Geoffrey, Neve. We have known each other for so many years. I know you don't want me to leave," replied Vaida, sighing. "But, do you think I'll believe you when you look for a random man to be my man of destiny? If a fake can replace the one I seek, I won't be trying to find him for three lifetimes, right?"Please, just ignore me and let me go in peace. Even if you can save me now, can you save me forever?"Obviously, while Vaida had a mental breakdown, she no longer recognized Harvey and forgot what had happened between them, but she was still a wise woman. She could tell that Geoffrey and Neve dragged Harvey here so that she would not die."Vaida! Don't forget that you're the daughter of the previous mayor! In my heart, you’re the real princess of Grand City!" Geoffrey roared. "I swore to him all those years ago that I would find the man of your destiny. I won't lie about som
"No! There is! Not only are you fated to cross paths, but such a fate is inevitable!" Geoffrey suddenly cried out. "Vaida, I managed to do as promised and found the man who is your destiny when I went to Wolsing last time! That's him! He's the man of your destiny! I won't have any objection even if you want to make your marriage official!"Geoffrey immediately rushed over to Harvey and pushed Harvey to Vaida. Harvey was stunned when he heard it, his eye twitching.What?Something about being the man of her destiny?Geoffrey did not give Harvey any time to react and winked at Harvey. "Mr. Representative, why don't you go speak with Vaida? The two of you promised to be together for three lifetimes before the Rock of Fate! You shouldn't miss each other now that you've been reunited!"When Harvey heard what Geoffrey had said, he was full of questions. Although he could understand every word, he did not understand what Geoffrey meant by that. Even Neve was so shocked that she subconsci
After Geoffrey had left, Harvey then walked into the courtyard. He looked around. Once he was sure there were no hidden cameras, he got into the bathroom and showered. Then, he changed into a new outfit.Too many things happened while he was on his way here, and he had to review everything. Only then would he be able to see the big picture of what had happened today.After that, he found the beverages meant for him. Then, he walked to the courtyard's edge, looking at the faraway scenery. The courtyard was built by the hills and a water source. In addition to the bridges and streams, he could see the plains in the mountains. He could even see the grass swaying as the wind blew.At the edge of the grassy plains were steep cliffs. The Fosters had built several gazebo-like structures there, which were quite terrifying. Harvey was curious and gave these cliffs a better look. That should be the edge of Grand City. He could see an endless ocean with crashing waves from here.Harvey could
Harvey saw Geoffrey already waiting there when he alighted the car. When Geoffrey saw Harvey, he was apologetic about the entire matter. Harvey did not need to say anything, and Geoffrey walked over, saying, "Friend… No, Mr. Representative. We will give you an explanation that you'll be happy with."Feel free to stay in the Foster family's estate. If anything happens again, you do not need to say anything. Our family will take full responsibility for this!"Harvey sighed. "There's no need for this, Geoffrey. My visit to Grand City will affect plenty of people's interests. It's normal for them to try and stop me from coming no matter what.""It's not that you're affecting many people's interests. Most importantly, you have affected one faction's interests," Geoffrey said as he gestured and led Harvey into the estate. As he guided Harvey in, he said, "The entire Grand City now knows your reason for coming to Grand City is to take on the Three Halls. What you're doing is taking away
Harvey smiled. "It's fine. But you do have to give me an explanation. Of course, if you can't, I'll get one myself."After that, Harvey could not be bothered with the same topic. He looked at the stone door and asked, "Why don't you introduce this to me?"Neve was slightly taken aback but still answered, "You know that Grand City does not belong in this world. In short, it exists in its own pocket dimension. It was said that Grand City's creator created this pocket dimension after he had achieved unison with Nature and before he stepped into the void."This is one of the few entrances into the Grand City, but it's the only entrance that everyone from the city can use. If you have the city's entry pass, then you can freely travel in and out. Of course, if your ancestry is rooted in Grand City, you can also use it."Harvey nodded. He was quite curious… When one reached the end of the path of martial arts and reached unity between man and nature, would one have this kind of power? Cou
No matter how Harvey looked at Vaida, he could tell she was no ordinary warrior. Her decisiveness and style proved to him that she was highly experienced in battles. He could even see some signs of her being in the military.Harvey was even more curious about Vaida's identity when he thought of that.But he knew it was not the time to think about such things. Harvey picked up a gun from the ground amidst the chaos and started to aim and shoot in front of him.If Vaida's attacks were all about affecting a wide area, then Harvey's attacks were all about accuracy. While he looked casual, whenever he pulled the trigger, an enemy would flop in a crumpled mess after each shot. The long-haired man could only watch with a dark expression.Despite bringing along an army of assassins with heavy firepower, his forces were being decimated."Darn it…!" The long-haired man let out a roar. "Deploy the heavy weapons!"Before he could finish yelling, he shuddered. There was disbelief in his eyes.
After eliminating Ruins and Ashes, Harvey did not waste another second, slammed his foot into a table, and sent it flying with a smile. Contrary to everyone's expectation, he did not leave the fire escape. Instead, he jumped out of a window and immediately ruined the long-haired man's plans.However, it was obvious that there were guards outside the window as well. As soon as they saw Harvey appear, the armed men were only slightly stunned before they aimed their guns at Harvey and pulled their triggers.Harvey immediately side-stepped, grabbed the fire extinguisher the cafe prepared for an emergency, and started spraying it all around him. Half the street was instantly covered in white as the bullets missed their marks, but several tourists who did not manage to escape in time were hit. The tourists cried, and it simply made the assassins even more aggressive.In just a short while, all these people would lose their lives.Harvey's eyes turned cold when he realized how nonchalant
However, before the Islander woman could swing her sword down, she could feel a sharp pain on her throat as a red dot appeared. Then, she could even feel all her strength disappear. She collapsed to the ground in disbelief, unable to make a sound. It was obvious that this woman could not understand how she was killed even moments before she died.The waiters and tourists only realized what was happening when they saw this moment. They screamed as they quickly ran toward the exits, throwing the entire Lucky Café into chaos. Harvey ignored all the chaos, picked up the sword from the woman's hand, and continued walking with a calm expression. At this time, a long-robed man and woman walked toward him among the crowds. Both of them looked quite strange. The man was missing an ear, while the woman was missing an eye. However, their energy signatures were terrifying, and they seemed very powerful."It's the Golden Triangle's assassin duo, Ruins and Ashes!""I heard the two could even de
While Hyperborea was a small city, as it was located on the nape of Snowdrake Mountain, it was also one of the most famous tourist cities in the country. Around 30 million travelers came to Hyperborea throughout the year, enriching their economies. However, it was somewhat difficult to manage the city.More than 90 percent of the population here came from other cities. So, it was going to be difficult to find anything about anyone.Besides being a tourist city, Hyperborea was also a location where people from all walks of life congregate.Harvey glanced around as he sat in the corner. He noticed that other than travelers, most of the people here were foreigners who spoke with foreign accents. Many of them carried firearms in secret, and some were obviously trained in martial arts. This place was destined to be different from other cities.While it was a tourist city on the surface, this place hid an entire underworld.'No wonder Grand City set its entrance in a place like this. It
