Half an hour later, Harvey York and Hazel Malone arrived at the Bray Temple.Harvey showed a serious expression when he haphazardly stopped Hazel’s car in the middle of the road before rushing out.Hazel was utterly dumbfounded. It was her first time seeing a man being so uncouth, making her park the car herself.But she had no choice. The pink Rolls Royce was bought with loans, so she had to park the car properly. It would have been heartbreaking to see her car get scratched up.At the same time, Yvonne Xavier was already at the main hall of the Bray Temple.The sculpture of the Holy Trinity was there covered in gold foil, making it seem extremely extravagant.Even though this religious way of life could not compare to Christianity, the Bray Temple was very well-known throughout Mordu because of Chief Leonard Bray himself. Quite a few powerful families and wealthy businessmen would go in and out from the place all the time.Yvonne respectfully lit up some incense, then kneeled
Yvonne Xavier slightly shook her head.“Ms. Asuka, right? You haven’t explained everything yet.“For example, who sent you here?“Was it Hector Thompson? Or Sakura Miyamoto?”Asuka showed a warm smile.“You ask too many questions. But since you’re also a woman, I’ll tell you something that might intrigue you.“You are truly a beautiful woman, Ms. Xavier. You must be confident enough to think that men wouldn’t even have the heart to harm you.”Yvonne’s pupils contracted slightly.“But a woman would surely go above and beyond to deal with you.“Don’t blame us, Ms. Xavier. Blame yourself for being so unlucky, catching Young Master Thompson’s eye like that!”Asuka’s right hand was resting on the hilt of her longsword while she was talking.At the same time, four more Islanders wearing bathrobes while holding Island Nation longswords showed up in the backyard, cutting off all of Yvonne’s escape routes.Yvonne frowned while looking at the chief who led the way. “This is a sacre
There was not a single sliver of fear reflected in Yvonne Xavier’s eyes when she let out a warm smile. “I have to admit. Your lady’s head isn’t really functioning well.“Doesn’t she realize that the best things for men are unobtainable?“When I die, I’ll turn into a memory inside Hector’s heart. After that, your lady wouldn’t even have a chance.”Asuka chuckled with an odd tone.“Us Islanders like to study men’s thoughts the most. Do you really think I’d let that happen?“Don’t you worry, Ms. Xavier. You’ll turn into just a fleeting memory in due time.”Yvonne’s gaze turned cold. She had a bad feeling about her situation.“What are you planning?!”Asuka shook her left hand, revealing a small porcelain bottle in her hand. “This right here is called the Anti-Chastity Vial,” said Asuka, full of excitement.“Legends say that if a woman drinks this, she would need to find a man in three minutes, no matter how strong-willed of a woman she is. And then, she would need to find mor
Fwooosh!Without Sakura Miyamoto’s orders, the three Islanders pounced right toward Harvey York after frantically changing their expression.One of the women wanted to get close to Yvonne Xavier so she could take her hostage.Bang bang bang!Without Harvey even doing anything, a person wearing a robe showed up and started to swing his duster around. The duster split all of the longswords in half while sending the women flying. Every single one of them crashed into the walls while coughing up copious amounts of blood. None of them had any strength left, even to struggle.“You rascals from the Island Nations. How dare you cause trouble inside the Bray Temple? Do you really think the people here are just jokes to you?“Filth!”Chief Leonard Bray appeared in a flash before shaking the duster in his hand. Threads that seemed like metal wires flew out from the duster, piercing the foreheads of the Islanders.Another person was lying flat on the ground while covered in a puddle of blo
Seeing Asuka as if she was a tiny kitten trying to show off, Harvey was not fazed at all. “You’re not worthy to even fight me,” said Harvey York calmly.“Let me see your strength, Tyson.”Tyson Woods nodded, then showed a hint of fighting spirit in his eyes.After the battle last night, Tyson had solidified his training.He placed his right hand on the hilt of his sword, then took a step forward. His entire body flew right toward Asuka like an arrow.“A mere gangster dares to duel me?!“You must have a death wish!”Asuka chuckled coldly. She was an outstanding professional even compared to this batch of people sent out by the Shindan Way. She had the utmost confidence in her own strength.She believed that she would be able to defeat anyone in a duel.Fwoooosh!A bright light flashed mid-air accompanying Asuka’s swing of her longsword right toward Tyson’s throat.Island Nation Swordsmanship was never about elegance. Quick and decisive blows were the principles of their swo
Harvey York and Yvonne Xavier felt utterly speechless.The situation was utmost dire. A storm was coming.But then someone locked their car’s wheel.The outrage could be felt from the two.Harvey picked up the ticket and took a few glances at it.“It’s from the Bray Temple’s security.“A few security guards can just lock any car and give out tickets as they please? Do they think they’re chief inspectors now or something?”Harvey wanted to call Chief Leonard Bray, but then he remembered he didn’t have his phone number.At this moment, two security guards who seemed to be in their forties walked toward the two arrogantly with cigarettes in their mouths.Both of them were wearing their slanted hats, sizing up Harvey and Yvonne with a judgemental gaze.The security guards were showing utter disdain when they saw Harvey. Clearly, they thought that Harvey was just a poor fool.Instead, when they saw Yvonne, their eyes lit up immediately.Such an alluring woman like this was at le
“Such big words coming from a security guard. Do you think you’re the king or something?” said Harvey York calmly.“First, you asked for money, and then you want us to come with you.“You don’t actually think that you represent the law now, do you?”The security guard took out his walkie-talkie and spoke into it for a short while. Soon, a dozen other security guards appeared out of nowhere.All of them were looking at Harvey playfully but filled with derision.A security guard ran over and pointed right at Harvey’s nose.“Let me tell you something. I’m the law in this parking lot!” He coldly exclaimed.“Fine!”Harvey nodded, then took a step forward and swung his palm.Slap!The leading security guard was immediately sent flying, smashing right onto a car as a loud bang echoed throughout. Sirens were going off everywhere around the parking lot.Harvey did not even gander at the security guard who was sent flying. He brought out some tissue paper and started wiping his hand.
Hazel also reacted at the same time. She shouted from a distance, “Harvey, don’t do it!”“Don’t do it!”“The security chief is a relative of Chief Leonard Bray. If you hurt him, then today’s problem will never be resolved!”The security with the crew cut heard Hazel’s declaration and also reacted in a timely manner. His eyelids instantly twitched and he said quickly, “That’s right! Chief Leonard Bray is my uncle!”“You can’t hit me!”“Do you know how powerful my uncle is?”“He is widely known in Mordu as the invincible one!”“If you dare hurt me, he’d knock you out with just one hand!”The three words, ‘Chief Leonard Bray’, had a huge deterrence in Mordu. It was also the biggest shield for these security guards to use as they acted however they pleased.Under normal circumstances, they were boorish and corrupt, and did whatever they wanted using Leonard Bray’s name as protection.But Harvey did not have the slightest fear toward this identity that could intimidate many.The
"I'll give you ten minutes to walk out of there without your clothes on! If you do that, I won't kill anymore of your bodyguards. If you're still not here in ten minutes, then I'm sorry, but the flames will consume you. I'll remember to visit you at your grave next year!" Sora laughed strangely after that.Everyone who heard his laughter could only feel a chill in their bones as they felt disgusted. Mandy's expression became even darker. She did not refuse him immediately, though. While she knew he was playing a game of cat and mouse, those ten minutes might just be enough to save them.-At the same time. Outside of the manor. Sora and his group of confidantes had already arrived at the entrance of the manor. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the terrace. After he waved his hands, his confidante spread out and sealed the remaining entrances.Next to Sora was a swordsman with a mustache. His eyes were full of spirit. It was obvious that he was an elite, the kind who could crush al
"Watch out!" It was at this time when Seven suddenly pulled Mandy over to the side, as his expression darkened. At the same time, one of the pieces of ballistic glass shook and fell on the floor. Then, bolts that seemed like rain stormed into the terrace, falling right where Mandy was standing.If it was not because of Seven's quick actions, Mandy might have already become a human pincushion. She was immediately covered in cold sweat. While she had personally grown and become a successful businesswoman, she had never been in many of these kinds of life and death situations.Whoosh!It was as if the people outside had noticed an opening, they continuously fired the Repeating Crossbow. As they did that, one of the bodyguards who could not dodge in time collapsed on the ground as he held his thigh. A bolt pierced through his thigh, and he immediately lost his ability to fight.Mandy quickly said, "Quick! Drag him over! It's too dangerous over there!"The two bodyguards trembled, and
"Ms. Mandy, you should run now! Run from the back! I can still hold them up for about 15 minutes!" Seven said in a bitter voice as he peeked outside from the door's gap from inside the manor. "If you don't, we won't be able to escape once they rush in. We're almost out of ammo. If we don't fight our way out, we'll all end up dead!"Mandy hesitated a little when she saw how Seven was becoming somewhat concerned and said, "Sure. We'll leave from the back door. But they're here for me. I can't escape. All of you should go and I'll cover you!"Mandy's expression was resolute. Seven was slightly stunned before saying, "Don't joke about something like that, Ms. Mandy. While I'm not one of your followers, but as a bodyguard of the Jeans of Mor'du, there's no way I can escape before you have safely retreated. If I do that, not only will I be unable to face the family, but I also won't be able to face myself and stay in this world!"All the bodyguards exchanged looks and said, "That's right,
The young man in the white suit was not that old. He was at least in his mid-twenties. However, his cheeks were somewhat red. It was obvious that years of excessive drinking and womanizing have left him too depleted for anything to be able to help him. But even then, he still looked in front with greed and obsession, as if wanting to push the woman in the manor to the ground and tear her apart.It was obvious that this man was the scion of the Origin Sword Style, Sora Yamamoto.Sora did not think much about the death of the Origin Sword Style elites. He did not even feel much about their death, as if their death had nothing to do with him."Sir, it's not that the woman is strong. It's the simple fact that no one expected her to have the Royal Flush with her… And she has plenty of it too. From the results of us testing her, the woman isn't saving the Royal Flush for something else when she had her bodyguards use them. I suspect that she had an unlimited supply of it.""You idiot!" S
"Too weak," Harvey sighed. In the next instant, he lifted his right foot and planted it on a broken piece of rock. Instantly, the rock shot out and headed straight to Sverker's throat. It was obvious that Harvey did not wish to leave the Origin Sword Style's number one elite alive."You fool…!" Sverker's entire soul was shuddering as he could feel Death coming for him. He let out a roar and all the energy within his body started to flow, wanting to use that to stop Harvey's attack. However, his thoughts were faster than he could act.The moment he wanted to fight back, he could feel the taste of blood in his mouth. The small rock had already pierced through his throat. In that instant, Sverker's thoughts instantly stopped as he lost the strength to struggle. Then, he collapsed on the ground just like that.There was anger, despair, and even doubt in his eyes.He could not believe that as an elite of the Origin Sword Style, as one of the few most powerful men in Sky Plane, how he en
When the palm strike was going to reach Sverker, Harvey changed his palm strike into a finger strike. He flicked his finger at the edge of the blade.Clank!"Gah!"Sverker seemed shocked as his body shook. There was even blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. He was in a terrible state as he took a few steps back."Mr. Sverker!" All the women cried out at the same time, with shocked expressions. They could not believe that not only did Harvey manage to easily block the legendary Three Slashes, but most importantly he was able to force Sverker some distance back with just the flick of his finger!He was beyond terrifying!"Damn you, kid! Do you think this is my full power?" Sverker's temper was at boiling point after the continuous failures as he gritted his teeth. "I will send you to Hell with all three slashes fused into one!""I better be the one sending you to Hell. I'm already bored with your sword technique," replied Harvey casually. Before Sverker could even attack,
"Your life is worth so little and you want to drag us along to hell? Who do you think you are? All of you are just the same! Selfish to the core!" the woman yelled at Harvey. It was clear that no matter what Harvey did, she wouldn't like it.Harvey glanced at her and said, "We can forget a moment about how your Mr. Sverker is the one who wanted to die alongside me out of shame and anger, let's talk about you. Who else can you blame but yourself by wasting time here instead of running? Not to mention, he can't do anything to me even if he can slash time and the universe."You have overestimated Sverker. He's nothing but trash. I simply wanted to see how powerful the Sword Style Origin's technique is." Harvey then gave Sverker a look. "But at this level, I can easily dispel it with just one strike.""You…" Sverker was so angry that he shuddered. He wasn't going to waste any more time. He gritted his teeth and once again slashed at where Harvey was standing."Timely Slash!"A
"Is that right?" Harvey asked the woman.He looked at Sverker's dark expression."Oh, he's being that nice? Why not give me a few more concessions? Why don't you go easy on me and miss all three slashes?""Damn you! Damn you all!" Sverker's expression turned dark by Harvey's snickering. He pounced forward again. In just an instant, he already appeared before Harvey. His body suddenly swayed and separated into eight afterimages; all of them instantly slashed from all eight directions."Earthly Slash!"Whoosh!As Sverker made that attack, a screeching sound filled the entire marsh. Sverker attacked Harvey like a flash of lightning. The moment the blade almost reached Harvey, a dreadful aura expanded from it, as if a black light was covering the surface of the blade.The attack seemed to have come from the depths of Hell itself, carrying the wrath of countless ghosts.Harvey's expression was cold as his fist turned into a palm strike, and he attacked straight ahead. His attack w
"Idiot!" Sverker smiled coldly as his figure flashed as he pounced forth like a bolt of lightning. The sword in his hand was immediately pulled out from its sheath, like a shooting star across the sky.Compared to the attack just now, this attack was simply and much more direct. There wasn't even much strength behind it. However, those in the know would know that an attack like this was the most powerful.Sverker believed he could easily kill Harvey on the spot."So what if you defeated all the six schools? So what if you defeated all the prodigies from Country I? So what if you defeated Mark?" Sverker smiled coldly as he attacked. "All the so-called True Warriors were joking to me… Because I am the one who kills True Warriors!" Sverker smiled coldly as he unleashed his first strike."Heavenly Slash!" A scarlet light suddenly flashed through Sverker's blade. Harvey raised his head; the attack that was going to split the sky had arrived. Before the blade even reached h
