“Young Master Holt! Someone’s trying to sneak up on you!”“Duck, Young Master Walker! Do the Downward Dog!”“Tamara, slap the guy on your left! Use your head to smash him next! Beautiful!”Both sides were fighting, and the entire Budokan had fallen into utter chaos. On the other hand, Harvey casually kicked away a few men and made his way to the entrance, where Xynthia was. Both of them watched the fiasco in silence. Bryan and his followers were little more than rich playboys, but they still had some fighting prowess to at least make the brawl not too one-sided.Harvey only gave them a few pointers, but Bryan actually managed to hold his own against Gabe and the others.Bryan and his followers badly wanted to choke Harvey to death, but there was no going back.They took advantage of Harvey’s advice, and soon began to subconsciously rely on him.“Brother-In-Law, isn’t it bad for us if we just watched how everything plays out?”“Shouldn’t we go and help as well?” Xynthia asked,
“Die!”Gabe had never suffered any loss. His eyes were bloodshot as he destroyed everyone in his path. He pounced forward angrily and threw out a heavy punch at the same time.Murderous intent seeped out of his every pore. Brayn wanted to step away, but Harvey calmly instructed him, “Move half a step to your left, then throw your right punch directly in front of you.”Harvey’s instructions were very simple. Bryan, who was scared out of his wits, held onto Harvey’s advice as though it was a life-saving straw. His body subconsciously moved according to Harvey’s instructions.Bang!Bryan stepped to the side, just enough to dodge Gabe’s killing blow. He then threw his right fist out, and it struck Gabe’s chest directly.Pfft!Gabe stumbled back as a mouthful of blood sprayed out of his lips. He was utterly shocked.Steven and the rest were just as shocked. None of them expected that Bryan could make Gabe cough out blood with just a single punch.Dumbfounded by the sight, they sto
With how everyone had seen Bryan sending him flying over and over again, Gabe felt that his dignity was tarnished and trampled.After all, he was dubbed the top disciple in Mordu’s Longmen branch, only next to Rachel! His master was one of the Elders in Mordu’s Longmen branch within the Hall of Elders, who also wielded immense influence and authority that surpassed that of the branch leader himself!If Gabe were to be beaten up by a rich playboy, he would rather slam his head on the ground and die!He could not handle the shame!“You bastard! Die!”The next second, Gabe grabbed an Island Nation longsword decoration from the shelf and slashed it toward Bryan’s direction.By now, Bryan was brimming full of confidence. He did not need Harvey’s pointers anymore. Bryan knew that Gabe no longer had even ten percent of his powers during his peak, either.Bryan swerved his body and pounced on Gabe, and snatched the longsword right out of Gabe’s hand.He then swung the sword at the fi
“And now, members of Mordu’s Longmen branch have already started to protest against the government. They demanded to bring you in!”“Since Longmen is involved, Rachel decided to join hands with Justin. To put it simply: if I don’t hand you over, Paramount will suffer unimaginable losses!”“They’ll get their revenge against me, too!”“How many times have I told you?! You can fight with people like Gabe, but don’t take their lives!”“If there isn’t a human life involved, the problem can be fixed no matter how big it is! If someone dies, then there’ll be big trouble! Don’t you understand?!”“Harvey was supposed to be the one doing the dirty work, yet you did all the work for him! Are you dumb?!”“Do you have a few screws loose?!”Denzen wanted to slap Bryan to death at this moment.He had been living in Mordu for years. Where was the need to fear Mordu’s Longmen branch?Forget Justin; even if Oliver Bauer was alive, Denzel wouldn’t care.However, the Hall of Elders were a separa
“You can’t do this, and you can’t do that. Why don’t you just tell me what to do then?!” Denzel barked heatedly.Bryan continued to grovel.“Please, Brother Denzel! Please help me think of something! If you can save me, I’ll give you every single asset the Holt family has!”“It’s not much, but there’s at least millions of dollars! As long as you can keep me alive…!”“Brother Denzel, we’re sworn brothers. You can’t just leave me to die!”Tamara grovelled as well. She was there during the incident. Even though Longmen wouldn’t kill her, she knew full well that her fate could be worse than death.Denzen added calmly, “If I’m not mistaken, Steven went there as well, didn’t he?”“Isn’t he Justin’s nephew? Why not just let him plead for you?”Bryan replied disdainfully, “He’s a liar. In reality, he’s only a distant relative of the Walker family. He’s kneeling in front of the Walker family’s house right now.”“They might not kill him since he carries the Walker name. But even if he d
After that discovery, Denzel discussed with Bryan and his followers about how to deal with Harvey.Meanwhile, a woman dressed in business attire stopped Harvey as he was getting out of his house at the Fragrant Hill. She said politely, “Mr. York, Sir Walker wants to see you.”She was around thirty years old, with elegant makeup and a slim body. Yet, there was a rather fierce aura around her.“Sir Walker said that he wants to talk to you about what happened yesterday.”“He hopes that you can make some time for him.”“Yesterday?”Harvey chuckled.“Are you talking about the incident at Longmen’s Budokan?”“I didn’t do anything but watch the entire time. I have nothing to do with anything, no?”The woman replied calmly, “Please go, Mr. York. Sir Walker asked for you himself. It’s useless to talk to me about the incident, anyway.”Harvey thought about it, then decided to follow the woman into a Toyota Alphard.The business car drove on the road seamlessly, and soon arrived at Lon
“I heard that you’re from Buckwood, Brother York. Where did your master come from, if I may ask?”Justin stared at Harvey with an odd look.“Are you of the Wing Chun descent, or are you from the Hong Kuen descent?”To Justin, these were only two lines of martial arts that had actual professionals within Buckwood.“Neither.”Harvey showed no emotion. He had been learning killer tactics and offensive moves from hundreds of other schools, and he was not following a certain type of martial art.“You have no school at all? You learned everything on your own?”Justin froze, then burst out laughing.“Did you get to this point by just casually learning? You must be an actual genius!”“I did. I’ve learned from hundreds of schools by now.”Harvey shot an indifferent look at Justin.“If you must ask how I learned everything I know, I bought a bunch of secret texts online. I’ll send you a set if you want”“Is that so…”Harvey seemed like he was telling the truth, so Justin did not pre
As expected, Justin only cared about what could benefit him.Gabe was one of his best men, but he never thought of avenging Gabe. Instead, he looked for Harvey to blaze a trail for him.Naturally, Justin knew exactly what had happened the day before.Combined with the incident in Paramount, he had a clear idea of Harvey’s worth.He believed that if he gave Harvey fifteen million dollars in cash, Harvey would willingly become his fighter.“There’s money, and there’s also a chance to be famous.”“Once you take down Rachel for me, you’ll also have connections with Mordu’s Longmen branch.”“I might even be able to get you into the branch. I’ll assign you a high position. You’re guaranteed to enjoy wealth and glory your entire life!”“I’ll lend you my support as well. In the future, you can do as you please in Mordu!”“But I need you to do exactly as I say. Remember, you’re only allowed to follow my orders.”Harvey wanted to rise after hearing Justin’s determined speech, but he re
"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
