Meanwhile, an elderly man dressed in traditional garbs stood waiting in the underground boxing gym. He surveyed his surroundings with an unhappy gaze, not making any attempts to hide his displeasure towards the place.Anyone who watches television broadcasts on treasure authentication would easily recognize this man. He was none other than Shane Naiswell, the grand master of treasure authentication.The reason for his arrival in the city of Niumhi was to have Harvey York authenticate an extremely valuable relic.However, his appearance in the gym tonight was for the purposes of meeting up with an old friend rather than work. Rosalie Naiswell, who stood beside him all this time, wore a similarly displeased expression.From the room where they were in, they received a clear view of the boxing competition held down in the ring.Although they hailed from a respected lineage, occasions like this were no stranger to them. As a family well-known for working with antiques, there were ti
This was the most exclusive and highly anticipated segment of the underground boxing gym. Its primary purpose was to promote interaction between the boxers and the audience, giving the audience a chance to experience boxing in the ring. If they won, they would be able to leave with cash prizes. However, such an outcome was impossible.After all, they were merely spectators. How would it be possible for them to defeat professional boxers?“I’ll go up and play for a while, then.” Harvey York chuckled and donned a face mask. With a swing of his arm, he flipped into the boxing ring.“Seems we have a very brave and mysterious challenger here with us who wants to be the first to get punched.” The referee said with a wide grin. He couldn’t hide his look of disdain. What’s the point of putting on a mysterious act when you’d just end up on the ground with your blood splattered everywhere? The last time the referee saw a man with an iron man mask participate, that very same man ended up beate
As he observed Rosalie’s changing expressions, Liam Stone sniggered inwardly. He wasn’t dense enough to ignore the implication that Rosalie Naiswell may have a special relationship with the man who had just climbed into the ring. Thinking this, he saw hope in having her all to himself. Without anyone noticing, Liam Stone quickly texted something on his phone. Once finished, he glanced over at Rosalie Naiswell. If everything went according to plan, this beautiful woman would be his tonight.…Outside the boxing ring.Standing in the spectator wing, Tyson Woods was on pins and needles. Harvey York was simply out of his mind. Facing Liam Stone in person to make the deal was a far better option than whatever he was attempting right now. Perhaps Harvey York couldn’t understand the meaning of the word ‘death.’…In the boxing ring.Harvey York casually wrapped his fists with white bandages, his expression neutral and unperturbed.His opponent, the boxer, studied him with an amused s
As he ended his sentence, Liam Stone was unable to hide his look of disgust. The boxer who had just got knocked out by Harvey York was in truth a reputable fighter in this gym, having once won ten consecutive matches. Though he may not be the strongest, his skills were definitely on the upper level. To actually defeat him would pose quite the challenge. “Miss Naiswell, the next one up is no normal boxer. Do you have any words for me?”Liam Stone turned to watch Rosalie Naiswell attentively.Rosalie’s face went as pale as a sheet. She clenched her teeth and replied, “Liam Stone, your subordinate has just lost a match…”“That’s right, one of my men just lost. But since I have to let you enjoy a good show, I can’t let you down.” Liam Stone grinned. “How about this? If you want to say stop, you should do it at the right time. Or else, I can’t guarantee what will happen…” He picked up his phone and made a call. “Find a better one. This man is someone our VIP friends here know, so b
“That’s entirely possible. Back when I was in the capital city, I’ve witnessed something like this. True masters of his kind have immersed themselves in the world of martial arts for a very long time.” Shane Naiswell replied with a chuckle. “They might not be as good as what was often described in martial arts novels, but one person killing a hundred men isn’t simply a legend.” Liam Stone’s face turned a shade darker. The more Shane Naiswell’s interest grew, the more embarrassed Liam Stone became.Rosalie Naiswell couldn’t focus on anything the two were saying. Her mind was blown away.This man was simply extraordinary! Even two terrifying boxers couldn’t defeat him. He was definitely not an incompetent deadbeat. Yet, he willingly became a live-in son-in-law and allowed himself to be taunted by everyone in the city. Why?Was it truly because of a woman? But he hadn’t even touched his wife’s hand even after three years of marriage, had he?Rosalie Naiswell’s thoughts were a confus
Under normal circumstances, Dario Moore would only make an appearance two or three times a week. It was considered a lucky opportunity for anyone to see him in action. Many came over every day just for a chance to see him fight.The reason was simple. Dario’s fights were exceedingly violent, and his opponents would often end up lying in a pool of their own blood. Despite that, his performances carried a flair of elegance. Often his fights would seem like a friendly exhibition match at first, only to progress into actual bloody combat. Every single one of his matches never failed to amaze.“Dario’s actually making an appearance?”“Today’s not a special occasion and there aren’t many people. Why would the gym make such an arrangement?”“Could it be that this wasn’t planned? Maybe that masked man was trying to make trouble?”“If that guy’s not part of the gym, he’s going to be in deep trouble when Dario comes out to fight. Rumor has it that Dario once crushed every one of his opponen
Once he finished wrapping the bandages on his hand, Dario Moore made his move and lunged forward. He charged in with incredible speed, comparable to that of a skilled sprinter bursting through a hundred-meter dash. Harvey pressed his left foot firmly on the ground, using the momentum to push his body as he too leapt towards Dario.The audience watched the fight unfold with bated breath.In the VIP room, Shane Naiswell smiled. Rosalie Naiswell was beside herself with nerves. Liam Stone’s earlier grinning face was now replaced by a somber look. The two fighters collided, both highly skilled in their own right. For Dario, this was his first time clashing against an evenly matched opponent since he joined the gym.Such a match was naturally exciting to watch.Jab!Two fists slammed against one another in the same heartbeat. A flurry of punches clashed in rapid succession. There were no fancy moves, only the furious exchange of raw blows.A piercing pain struck Harvey as his right
“Not bad. This Dario Moore’s punch has the quality of the boxing world champion.” Shane Naiswell rubbed his beard. “The power in that punch alone should weigh about a thousand pounds.” “You have good eyes, Mr. Naiswell.” Liam Stone said fawningly. “His punch would’ve easily broken the bones of your average person. They’d be lying in hospital for half a month! This b*stard’s pretty gutsy, he actually went and used his arms to defend against Dario’s attack. If I’m right, both his arms should be broken by now!”Liam was confident, but in the next second his expression changed. In the ring, Harvey York was gradually unfolding his arms. Although he was trembling, it was obvious that his arms were not broken.Dismay coloured Liam’s face. His lips curved into an annoyed frown at Harvey’s unharmed state.Shane said nonchalantly, “Mr. Stone, it looks like your judgment was wrong. This man has exceeded both of our expectations. In no way can his position counter the amount of power forced o
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
"If you're sober, bend your knee to the ladies and apologize, or I'll kill you!" Harvey snarled.The long-haired man was arrogant, but it was obvious for all that Harvey was even more so. All the spectators were shocked. It was the first time they saw someone acting so arrogant.The long-haired man finally realized what had happened; he held his face and yelled, "You idiot! How dare you touch me?"Harvey gave him another slap. "So what if I do? Can't I afford to? Do you want me to hit you a dozen times?"The long-haired young man didn't expect Harvey to make a move despite the current circumstances, and was completely stunned. He held his completely swollen face and screamed, "How dare you touch me! Kill him! I want him ground to dust!"Clang!Just as the men and women wanted to stand and attack Harvey, Durandal put down the teacup in his hand with a clang. He waved his right hand and said, "All of you… Are you blind? Can't you see that this is Ms. Mandy Zimmer, the leader of t
"150 million isn't enough?""1.5 billion?"Everyone gasped the moment they heard what Harvey had to say. At the same time, many people turned and looked at him at the same time. Aside from shock and disbelief, they looked like they were looking at a fool.Everyone could see that Durandal had already completely decimated this underground fighting pit. The Ninth Branch had lost hundreds of millions of dollars by now. No matter how sharp Maya's tongue was, it couldn't hide the fact that they had lost a lot of money.So when Harvey took the initiative and said something like that, many simply thought it was for their pride. Everyone knew that at this time, one should surrender and not scream in defiance. The men and women around Durandal all stared at Harvey. They didn't feel scared or excited, simply scornful.Mandy wanted to say something, but after hearing Harvey, she decided to keep silent and let him take control of everything. She believed that he could help her."Madam! Sir
Maya looked horrified. She was the one organizing things for the Ninth Branch. This fighter was already the most powerful the Ninth Branch had, but she didn't expect him to act like a complete newbie.As for Durandal, he picked up his teacup and sipped it. His phone screen was showing a game. It was obvious the fight in front of him had already been decided…and he was bored. A mobile game was even a better time killer than this.In some way, this was truly a way of showing how high and mighty he was.Meanwhile, a woman wearing a coat next to Durandal looked at the fight with scorn. It was obvious that the fight in front of her wasn't that interesting.After exchanging blows, the fighter from the Ninth Branch had completely lost his advantage. The Boxing Champion spun and broke his right arm in one strike.Crack!Before he could even scream, the Boxing King swooped right in front of him, then grabbed his head before punching him with all his might.Pfft…Blood immediately came o
"It was clear that this so-called champion had won countless matches. Otherwise, the spectators wouldn't be so excited when they saw him. Some of the women roared and screamed as if they were on cloud nine. The air was full of passion and excitement, as if this champion could really defeat everyone under the sun.Mandy frowned as she looked at the scene, and said slowly, "That's the elite fighter Durandal brought here. From the way he fought, he was indeed someone who had been fighting in underground fighting rings like ours for a long time. He calls himself the Boxing Champion, and has already won five bouts today. He has won at least 75 million dollars from us.""I see… He's a money printer…" Harvey looked at him and nodded. "From the surface, he's a peak King of Arms. If he let himself go, I believe he might be able to fight against those close to True Warrior."Mandy nodded before continuing, "He's just one of the elites Durandal brought with him. Other than him, there's the K
