“Bastard!”“How dare you barge in the Center of Mordu like that?!”“You’re looking for your death!”Several security guards swarmed the place. They took the safety of their guns off and pointed them at Harvey.Behind, wails of pain could be heard.Although the guards seemed fierce, they looked at Harvey with fear in their eyes.Naturally, Harvey had already made them pay a high price while he was on the way here.Ignoring the guards, Harvey nonchalantly walked toward Elias’s chessboard and picked up a white piece. In just a single move, he had effectively sealed the black pieces to their doom.Harvey then held onto the same white piece and said calmly, “Everyone’s saying that Elias Patel himself is a hero of the generation, and that he’s second to none in terms of chess.”“Now that I’m seeing it with my own eyes, it seems you’re not as good as they say.”Elias waved his hand, signalling the guards to stay back. He sized up Harvey with a smile.“Harvey York? Prince York himse
Elias shrugged and replied calmly, “What request do you have then?”Harvey said just as calmly, “Mine’s not as excessive as yours. If you lose, you’ll be my little brother from now on.”“As your big brother, I’ll be the one deciding if you can live or die.”Elias looked at Harvey with narrowed eyes for a long time. Then, he clapped his hands to signal a staff member to come forward.“Make the contract then.”A beautiful female secretary walked forward. Her face had lost all color. She started to make the so-called handover contract.The look on her face frantically changed when she read the conditions of the contract. She could not believe what she was looking at.One of the Six Princes of Mordu, Prince Patel himself, was actually making such a bet with a hillbilly from out of the sticks.However, a subordinate like her naturally had no strength to stop this from happening.After the contract was made, Elias immediately signed the contract and stamped his handprint without eve
Harvey finally got a little more serious after seeing the two fists coming straight for him. He was still standing still, but he managed to dodge Elias’s killer moves by a hair’s length by simply swaying his head left and right.Elias seemed unphased, the position of his fists going in the same direction. When he performed the Cloud Step, both of his fists changed angles drastically, heading straight toward Harvey’s temples the moment he was within arms’ reach.Harvey remained calm. He took half a step back and barely avoided the deadly attack.Boom!Knowing that he had the upper hand, Elias did not show any openings. Both of his fists flew out once again; this time, toward Harvey’s chest.The move was unavoidable. If the hit were to land, some bones in Harvey’s ribs would undoubtedly break.Harvey made his move, but he did not throw a punch. He pressed right on the tip of Elias’s fist with his right hand before sidestepping to the left.Even after dodging a barrage of attacks f
Bang!Elias was showing a horrible expression. With a stomp of his leg, he sent his body forward with the speed of lightning.The marble tiles on the ground displayed visible cracks from the impact of his movement.Harvey narrowed his eyes slightly.The next moment, Elias appeared right in front of Harvey. Elias bent his right hand to the shape of a claw, and then swung it right at Harvey’s face.It was the Eagle Claw Hand.Harvey’s lips were a calm smile. He threw a steady punch to counter Elias’s attack.Bang, bang, bang!Their bodies crossed each other in an instant. In the next second, Elias’s body staggered and he was immediately sent flying. After he landed on the ground, he stumbled around before he was able to stand up straight.Harvey, on the other hand, remained composed.“You lost. Remember, you’re my little brother now.”Elias frowned slightly. A split second later, his expression changed frantically.Without him realizing it, a footprint was visible on his stom
A man with slick back hair and dressed in a black suit stood outside the villa door.Before Harvey could even react, Kait already opened the door and welcomed the man inside.“Senior, you’re finally here.”“I’ve been waiting for you.”The man with slick back hair walked into the villa righteously and said, “Master told me everything that happened with his sister.”“After receiving your call today, he told me to protect you.”“I didn’t want to pester you about this, Junior. You should’ve been practicing ancient martial arts.”“If you did that, you’d at least have a place in Mordu.”“Your father wouldn’t treat you like that, either.”“Master asked me to protect you for the sake of your mother.”“You must go and thank him properly after all this blows over. He’s been shutting himself away from the world for many years now.”The man studied the villa hall with judgemental eyes. When his gaze landed on the takeaway boxes on the table, he showed slight disdain.When he saw Harvey
Harvey understood the situation after listening to Kait’s explanation.He left Kait in the villa alone and headed out on his own since he was busy with a lot of things.A woman would have no sense of security when left home alone after going through such hardship, so it would be natural for Kait to get someone close to protect her.Harvey smiled and reached out his hand.“Brother Brennan, right? That was just a misunderstanding.”“I’m Harvey, nice to meet you.”“Mmmm.”Brennan was still showing a righteous expression as he reluctantly took Harvey’s hand, as though he didn’t want to get any closer to Harvey.Harvey narrowed his eyes, but did not say anything. He opened the takeaway boxes. “Brother Brennan, if you haven’t eaten anything yet, why don’t you join us for a meal?”Brennan let out a scornful smirk.“Harvey, right? Don’t worry, I’ll be in charge of Junior’s safety now that I’m here.”“So?”Harvey did not understand where Brennan was going.“So her necessities are n
Harvey took half a step back, evading Brennan’s palm with no effortSwoosh, swoosh, swoosh!Brennan was slightly shocked. He started to swing both his arms consecutively, stopping Harvey’s path in two different directions.Harvey calmly avoided his attacks, and then slapped Brennan hard on the face.Slap!A loud sound echoed throughout the place. Harvey was completely unscathed, while Brennan ended up with a visible palm print on his cheek.Harvey’s retaliation left Brennan utterly dumbfounded.He was a self-proclaimed professional among the younger generation. When he tested Harvey moments ago, he exerted about sixty percent of his power.He never imagined that Harvey was able to evade him, let alone slap him in the face.Harvey waved his right and said calmly, “Brother Brennan, enough is enough.”“Senior, Harvey’s one of us!”Now, Kait had grown rather upset. She immediately made her way to Brennan and rebuked him angrily. “I asked you to come here to help, not to cause
“Lebron is indeed quite something.”Harvey’s tone was calm and steady.“But you don’t have to worry about it. I can deal with him if he actually shows up.”“Enough!”“This is enough!”Brennan’s expression turned as cold as ice. “If it weren’t for my junior asking Master for help, I wouldn’t show up here even if you groveled!”“I’m telling you all this to warn you of what’s coming!”“And I’m telling you what to do to save your own skin as well!”“You should know what’s good for you!”In Brennan’s eyes, Harvey’s fate had already been sealed when he went against Lucas and Justin for Kait.That is, unless Harvey begged for Brennan’s help to protect him in the name of the Bray Temple.If Harvey didn’t, then he would be dead without a doubt.Before Harvey could say anything in reply, Kait cut in anxiously, “Senior, you’re saying that Lebron will take action because of me?”Brennan snarled, “Most likely.”“I heard the people Lucas sent to kill you all died in the Devil’s Trian
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
