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
Yona Lynch was the first to yell at Harvey York, “A**hole! How dare you jinx my master!”The firearm around her waist appeared in her hand when she finished her words, almost pointing at Harvey’s forehead.Several men and women also pressed their hands against their waists.Harvey ignored this group of people and said indifferently, “Those who want your life will come to kill you for three days, at most. Even Hades won’t be able to save you by then.”“Who dares to take Master’s life?!” Yona’s pretty face turned cold!“I don’t care who you are. Using such words for attention, believe it or not, I’ll kill you in minutes.“Do you know who my master is?“In Mordu, my master may…”Having said this, the middle-aged man glared at Yona coldly, which instantly made her stop speaking.She noticed that she had let it slip. She immediately changed to another topic at this moment and said, “Hurry up and apologize to my master. Otherwise, don’t blame me for killing you!”While speaking, th
Durandal and his men froze when they saw what happened, and their expressions darkened. While that long-haired man was frivolous, he was also a martial arts master.Before they could even react, Harvey had already snapped off the man's finger and fed it to the dog. That action was enough to stop Durandal and the others in their tracks, and even managed to silence the angry crowd.No one expected a man called a pretty face to be so brutal and decisive. At that moment, the men from Parkerville could feel the coldness radiating from Harvey. They couldn't stop the fear spreading in their heart."Darn it! How dare you hurt him?!""Do you have a death wish?""We're going to destroy your underground arena!"Everyone from Parkerville was filled with fury, wanting to retaliate. However, Harvey's calm expression was enough to scare them into silence. Durandal, the only person who knew Harvey's real identity, raised his hand to stop them. Then, he shot Harvey a cold look."What is the
"I believe someone outside the ring informed the young boxer. In short, this is no longer a one-versus-one battle! This is two versus one… No, perhaps even more! This isn't fair!"And then, Durandal raised his arm and shouted, "Tell me, friends! Is it against the rule for someone to use a high-tech method to instruct the young fighter in the middle of the match? Should they pay for all our losses?"While no one knew how Durandal could be so sure there was cheating involved, many saw that there was a chance for them to recover their losses. They knew who to support. All of them stood up and started yelling."Cheating! You're cheating!""Pay us! Pay us back!"Durandal continued to raise his arm. "We've already won this battle! However, the underground boxing ring was unable to accept their loss! Other than making them admit it, shouldn't we ask them to pay three times the money?!"All the spectators were excited and chorused brainlessly, "Three times! Three times!"They didn't car
As the Boxing Champion coughed out a mouthful of blood, it seemed to have caused a chain reaction. The blood vessels in his body began to bulge and explode, and blood began to flow out from his body. It was quite terrifying to watch, but from his bloodshot eyes, he seemed to have recovered some sort of clarity.He glared at the young fighter in front of him and collapsed on the ring, his eyes filled with disbelief."Ha… Didn't even break a sweat." The young fighter raised his hand, disdain on his face. His expression was calm, but everyone could see his arrogance."How is that possible?!" At that moment, there was only silence. No one expected the situation would change so quickly. The Boxing Champion had been defeated so quickly, many weren't sure what had happened. This had surpassed everyone's understanding.No matter if the audience was furious or in disbelief, the Boxing Champion had already fallen and the young fighter stood in the middle of the ring with a calm express
Everyone was still filled with mixed expressions as both sides clashed. To the Boxing Champion, he had already won countless fights. There was no need for him to be afraid of a young man.Meanwhile, the young fighter had great confidence. Nothing could shake him.The moment both sides clashed, dust and dirt burst from the floor. Everyone was shocked by their murderous intent.Their fists met. At that instant, they fought in the most brutal and primal way. They kept crashing into each other as they battled. The muted sounds of their attacks could be heard from outside the ring. The ring, though made of solid wood, began to crack open from the impact of their attacks. Everyone watched with bated breath, excitement etched on their faces. No one expected that the young man who looked like he was going to get beaten down in one punch would have so much endurance.It was way too thrilling! Too exciting!The two moved faster and faster. Very quickly, normal people couldn't even see h
When Harvey heard Mandy's agreement to his plan to close down the place, he immediately snapped his finger. A young man smaller and leaner than the Boxing Champion slowly walked out from the back.He wasn't surrounded by a malevolent aura like the Boxing Champion, and he didn't beat his chest like a drum either. He simply waved his hand around in a dull way, like he was only doing this as part of his job. When the spectators saw this, all of them booed.When some of the spectators who were hoping for a chance to turn their luck around saw this, they couldn't help but start to curse.What was the Ninth Branch doing?Why did they pull out a kid like this?Were they getting him killed?Meanwhile, Durandal and the others all glanced at each other before cackling madly. They were all from the Sacred Training Grounds, so they could see the young man was indeed someone special. But no matter how special he was, the difference in power couldn't be so easily overcome.There was only one
One hour later, Harvey once again appeared at the VIP seats. Durandal and the others had been waiting for them. When they saw Harvey appear, they grinned. "One hour is over, pretty boy. Can we start the battle now? Looking at how confident you are, maybe you should consider fighting yourself. If you're willing, I can tell the Boxing Champion to just use one arm."It was obvious that not only did Durandal want to use this chance to test Harvey's power, but he also wanted to get him killed.Harvey smiled. "There's no need for overwhelming firepower. Even your father couldn't make me fight him, let alone your underling."Durandal's eyes turned incredibly cold when he heard that. Just as the atmosphere in the VIP seats was becoming fired up, the atmosphere around the ring was also becoming more tense.They hadn't even fought yet, but both sides were already staring down at each other apprehensively. It would be quite intense once the fight really began.Very quickly, Durandal took a
Harvey ignored all of them, but simply looked at all the fighters. In the end, Harvey's eyes fell on a young man of about eighteen years old. It was obvious he had just come of age, and he had trained his body well. From his physique, Harvey could tell that his martial arts abilities were quite good too.Harvey could tell immediately that the young man probably had an extraordinary upbringing to have such power at such an age. He might be a core student who came out from a Sacred Training Ground to train.Most importantly, the other fighters either looked at Harvey warily or in envy. Only he looked at Harvey peacefully, as if everyone in this world were ordinary people.Harvey gave Maya a look, and Maya quickly introduced him. "Sir, this is a servant that a member of the Ninth Branch picked up from under the bridge. He's mute, but he's extremely loyal. When we realized he has great talent in martial arts, we decided to turn him into a fighter."Harvey narrowed his eyes. What kind
Maya was slightly stunned. However, she had always been very trusting of Harvey. She didn't say anything and quickly prepared the contract.When Durandal saw what was happening, he smiled coldly and immediately signed his name.Just as Harvey was going to sign his name, Mandy's expression turned dark and said, "Harvey, why don't we bet my hand? This is a Ninth Branch affair. It didn't have much to do with you in the first place."Harvey could sense Mandy cared about him and smiled. "Don't worry, I'll be fine. Not to mention, certain things are unavoidable. You and the Ninth Branch are simply taking hits on my behalf. Trust me, I can manage this."Mandy hesitated a little and wanted to say something, but before she could, Durandal already said coldly, "Enough with the mushy nonsense. If you can't take a wager like this, I'm more than happy to let you both lick my boots a hundred times. After that, we'll call it even!"Harvey patted Mandy's shoulder and picked up the pen to sign his
"Your underlings are either Boxing Champions or Sword Champions. While they all sounded terrifying and their names quite stylish, and sound like they can defeat everyone that stands before them…" Harvey began coolly."Everything you did is so you can take all of the Ninth Branch's money, isn't it? If that's the case, why waste everyone's time? Let's do it decisively. We'll settle everything in one go. Of course, if you're scared, you can tell me too. I won't force you."Harvey shook his head and looked at Mandy. "This is boring, Mandy. Let's go, he's just a coward. I wonder where this spoiled brat comes from? He's scared of getting smacked by his own hand if he loses a few pennies. There's no need to waste time with people like this."When Mandy heard it, she said, "That's right. There's no need to waste time with rubbish."Durandal smiled coldly when he heard how they were mocking him. "No need for such sarcasm. I'm telling you right now, I'm not afraid of playing a game like th
