“If you even touch any of them, I’ll make you and the people of the Shindan Way’s lives a living hell!”“Even Hector Thompson has to pay the price!”Sakura Miyamoto showed a worried expression on her face while tapping her perking chest.“How terrifying! I’m so scared!“What shall I do?“Maybe I should just think of a way to relieve my tension!”Sakura then swung her backhand across Kait Walker’s face.With the sound of a loud slap, Kait’s beautiful face showed a red palm print.Kait was wide awake after being slapped. She spat out all the cloth that was stuffed in her mouth before she quietly said, “Please. Don’t mind me, Harvey York…”Slap!Kait couldn’t even speak properly after getting slapped in the face one more time.“Oh, my! What an affectionate scene! I’m so touched!“Even TV shows wouldn’t dare do something like this!“It’s a shame that this isn’t one.”“You’re dead, Sakura.”Harvey’s face was as dark as night.“I’m fine, Harvey. Nothing bad will happen to me.
Swooosh!The blade with a blue glow was swung forward without any hesitation.The Zephyr Slash was pulled off once again!It was a simple and straightforward cut but packed with massive damage!“Your swordsmanship has already been perfected, Mr. Akano. If you manage to kill this man, you shall be crowned as the Shindan Way’s Sword Saint!” Sakura Miyamoto calmly said while admiring the battle.Taro Akano’s courage increased exponentially. The blade in his hand was filled with a menacing aura.Harvey York calmly dodged to the rear. He did not try to block the attack this time.But doing so had made Taro completely fearless. He leaped forward in an instant as he kept swinging his sword at terrifying speeds.Swish swish swish!Cross Slash!The sword in Taro’s hand was vibrating violently. A cross was formed mid-air, blocking Harvey’s escape route.At the same time, Taro pounced forward as if he were a savage monster, suppressing Harvey with the threatening glow of his blade.Sa
Harvey York dodged backward while mentally counting time.Boom!The cut landed right on the exquisite piano behind Harvey, splitting it in half.“Bastard!”Taro Akano’s expression completely worsened after seeing that none of his attacks even scraped Harvey.Right at this moment, Harvey’s phone rang. He took a glance at his phone with a nonchalant expression, then calmly said, “Game over, Taro.“I’ll give you a chance. Give me the medicine and kneel, then start talking.”“Kneel, then start talking?”Taro was utterly enraged.“Do you really think that you’re still the invincible Chief Instructor, Harvey?” exclaimed Taro while coldly chuckling.“In my eyes, you’re just an arrow at the end of your flight!“Besides, us Island Nation Swordsmen don’t allow ourselves to be humiliated!“Now, let me show you my true killer move!”Taro unsheathed his short sword with his left hand and pounced forward.Both swords were swung forward, effectively blocking Harvey’s escape path.Slap!
Harvey York was only using his slaps at the moment.Taro Akano would've conceded if Harvey used any other killer move against him.After all, his opponent was the legendary Chief Instructor.Every time Harvey landed his slap on Taro’s face, he felt more and more disgraced for the swordsmanship that he took pride in.At this moment, Taro had a strong urge to slam his head on the ground and end his life.But he couldn’t even block a single hit from Harvey, nor could he dodge out of the way.Slap!Taro spun in the air after getting hit by another slap before landing back down again. He had an extremely wretched look on his face at the time.With a swing of Harvey’s leg, Taro was kicked down to the ground rolling.Harvey crouched down in front of Taro and patted his face.“Come, the finest sword of Mordu’s Shindan Way,” said Harvey calmly.“The Shindan Way’s top talent.“Tell me. What do you mean by you won’t allow me to humiliate you?“You think you can just quote scriptures
Harvey York dialed a number on his phone.Before long, Yona Lynch had already arrived with her most trusted men and a few private doctors of the Lynch family.Harvey briefly explained the situation and told Yona to send Xynthia Zimmer and Mandy Zimmer to the Mordu International Airport since Oskar Armstrong was about to arrive.Harvey would only be at ease after Oskar gives the two sisters a thorough check-up.Aiden Bauer called after Yona took Mandy and Xynthia away.“Branch Leader, we confirmed the position of the cruise ship. The Longmen disciples have found Ms. Walker.“We arrived early. Fortunately, Ms. Walker’s fine.“But Ms. Miyamoto already escaped! My apologies for being incapable.”After hearing that Kait Walker was fine, Harvey let out a huge sigh of relief.“It’s fine as long as she’s in one piece.“Send Kait to the airport. Let Oskar check on her.”After Harvey hung up the call, he walked toward Taro Akano while showing no emotion on his face.“Where’s Sakura?”
On the top floor of the Pothole Hotel, inside a presidential suite.Sakura Miyamoto still had no color on her face after a new change of clothes.Even after taking a warm shower, her body was still trembling to no end.She could clearly feel Harvey York’s murderous intent even when she literally was on the other side of the screen.“Aya Miyamoto, you must remember today’s shame!“Harvey, the legendary Chief Instructor, is the one who forced the Shindan Way to such lengths!“When the opportunity arises in the future, I’ll turn his bones to dust!”“We will make Country H kneel before us! Only then will our shame be washed away!”Sakura was constantly shivering, but her words were filled with utter hatred.It was good that she and Aya immediately left Kait Walker and escaped.They would’ve ended up with Longmen just like their subordinates if they didn't.It was safe to say that one wrong move had completely ruined years of their business.It was a shame that there was no medi
When Aya Miyamoto was slightly relaxed, she thought of something else. She looked at the traffic light outside and spoke with a worried tone, “Sister, I thought of something!“With Harvey York’s status and power, he should be able to find out that we’re here!“Is he going to kill his way in?!“Should we just slip away by boat?!”“You’re just too young!” Sakura Miyamoto replied with a quiet voice.“Don’t you forget, Harvey has another identity as Mordu’s Longmen branch leader!“If he wills it, we’ll have a hard time getting away even if we tried that!“The best plan right now is to stay in the Thompson family’s hotel and board the first flight tomorrow morning!“Don’t you worry, Young Master Thompson has already prepared new identities for us.“The most important thing is that he’s one of the Four Young Masters of Wolsing. His cousin has even more of a strong background, and she’s backed up by the people of Dragon Palace!“With these extraordinary backgrounds, influence, and p
At around the same time, a dozen Toyota Prados showed up in front of the Pothole Hotel, completely blocking off the hotel’s welcome avenue.Harvey York calmly got out of the car. Tyson Woods and Rachel Hardy followed closely behind.Harvey’s imposing aura could be felt from a mile away. When he walked, no one would even dare to look at him.The hotel's security guards were all resting their hands on their firearms after seeing the sight with stern looks on their faces.“Today’s the opening ceremony of the Pothole Hotel, everyone!“Invited guests only!“If you do not have invitations, please leave immediately!”The guard leading the group was about to pull out his firearm in the middle of his speech.Slap!Tyson did not even give those people a chance to pull out their firearms. He instantly slapped the guards to the ground with his backhand.Every single step Tyson took, he slapped a guard down with his palm. Soon enough, the guards were all sent flying before crashing back t
Blade frowned and said nothing when he heard Harvey's teasing. Not far away came the sound of spotlights being turned on. Giant spotlights immediately focused on their location from all around them, turning the place as bright as day. The Enforcer Division who just got out of the car narrowed their eyes, trying to adjust to the light."You're smart, and you're quite perceptive as well." At this time, one of the doors on the giant stone gate from not far away slid open, and dozens of figures appeared. The one leading them was a woman wearing a traditional garb, a fan in her hand.She looked like a seductress. Her eyes were filled with charm, and even just a glance from her was quite seductive. All the men and women behind her were wearing uniforms, bearing a stern expression. "Unfortunately, smart people normally don't last long here," the woman continued with a smile. Harvey shrugged. "I haven't asked you what this place is yet."The woman kept smiling. "Our place was quite
The atmosphere within the car fell into absolute silence. Blade extended his head and opened the sunroof, allowing the fresh air to enter the car. He took in the fresh air, but no one could tell his thoughts.Harvey smiled as he once again closed his eyes and rested. To him, the destination for this journey meant nothing.Very quickly, the car drove until night. During this journey, the car stopped three times. They would always rest, have a meal, and get a toilet break at a temporary supply base that had been established beforehand. Blade had maintained his silence and said nothing.As for Harvey, it was life as usual for him. He would eat when he was supposed to and sleep when he had time to. It was so that everyone could maintain their energy.Harvey even took a hot shower in one of the supply bases and got to wash his clothes. The members of the Enforcement Division that kept watch over him looked at him strangely. It was obvious it was their first time meeting a criminal lik
Blade was slightly stunned when he heard it and took in a deep breath, as if he was suppressing something he was feeling. Then, he said slowly, "The Grand City is also called the Grand City that Didn't Belong to the World. Those from the Grand City had been called many names. Wizards, alchemists, immortals… In a place like ours, we have rules and laws coming from bygone eras. After existing for so long, people from our city understand that only by following these rules and laws will we be able to protect the Grand City."Harvey smiled. "So, to you, even if you know the order you're going to execute is wrong, you'll still do it no matter the cost, right?""It's easy for one person to make a mistake," Blade said. "It's even easier for someone to make a mistake when one speculates. This is an order that was made based on the rules and regulations. The chances of it being a mistake are very low…"Even if I have some thoughts, I'd rather do as I'm ordered by Grand City. As for whether
Half an hour later, Harvey got into the back seat of a Range Rover after he packed a few sets of clothes. During this time, not only did he have to console Yvonne not to do something rash, but he also had to arrange for something else. He even had the time to order some pasta through delivery.While he still didn't know what Grand City had prepared for him, he knew that he should get ready. He had to give it his all this time. Grand City was not an opponent he could simply ignore.Once he was in the Range Rover, Harvey took the best seat that once belonged to Blade. He even adjusted the seat so he could sleep for a while.The next morning, Harvey woke up and downed a mouthful of carbonated water. He rubbed his eyes and looked around him from the car window. The car was already driving through an ancient forest. But because the car's performance was just that excellent, he felt like he had been driving on flat land.After taking a look, Harvey looked at Blade next to him. Blade's
"It's alright, Yvonne. Don't get mad. If you get angry because of something like this, then you've lost," Harvey said as he shook his head. He stopped Yvonne, who was on the verge of exploding."The people from Grand City have a way of doing things due to how they believe that they're better than everyone else. Not following their laws would ruin their reputation, so I'll go with them," Harvey said as he narrowed his eyes.He knew very well that this was a plot against him. It wasn't just about Durandal's death, it was also because he had offended Dan. The day Harvey became the representative, someone had already plotted against him. For everyone's sake, Harvey decided to make a move.While he wasn't afraid of Grand City, it didn't mean that everyone else wasn't fearless of Grand City either."Don't be rash…" Yvonne said, shivering. Harvey patted her hand a while and then looked at Blade's cold expression with great interest. "I can tell that you're not someone who lies and y
"Firearms?" Blade smiled coldly when he saw this, and looked at Yvonne with a sneer. "There's something you probably didn't know, girl. All of my followers here are martial arts elites, and they're wearing the silk armor that Grand City produced. This armor makes them untouchable by blades or the elements. If you don't do anything rash, it's fine. But if you do, your men will die. Here's my advice. Don't get all of them killed just because of one person."And then, he commanded coldly, "Do it."Eighteen elites from the Enforcement Division took a step forward when they heard his command, looking calm."I don't believe that you're not afraid of a gun!" Yvonne grabbed a gun and pointed it at Blade.However, Blade didn't react even when faced with Yvonne's madness. He simply walked over to her, held the gun in her hand, and then pointed it at his forehead. "Come on. If you don't believe it, give it a try. Pull the trigger and see if you can kill me."Yvonne's eyes widened when
"You are as well-spoken as they claim, Mr. Representative," Blade said coldly. "I wish he didn't die, since I watched him grow up. However, the fact is, he's dead. We have enough evidence to prove that you caused it. So, let's not waste our time and come with us. This is better for all of us."Yvonne's expression darkened. "Blade, is it? I don't care who you are, but my boss never lies. If he said that he didn't kill that man, then this has nothing to do with him. Don't pin the blame on someone innocent!"Blade looked at Harvey icily. "We wish that he could be innocent too. If that's the case, that's an even better reason for you to come with us. Since he's being suspected, he should come to prove his innocence at the very least."Yvonne snapped, "You think very highly of yourself! You can make anyone the suspect because you say so? You can take anyone with you because you want to? Do you know that he's also the representative of the Country H Martial Arts Alliance? In some way, he'
The security guards at the entrance finally reacted to what was happening. They started to call for reinforcements when they saw Yvonne's sportscar was stopped.The range rovers' doors were kicked open, and dozens of men and women clad in traditional Country H's garbs got out. The one leading them was a square-jawed man with a deep scar on his face. It was obvious he had survived a terrible battle against death once.He ignored all the security guards and quickly approached Harvey and Yvonne."Stop them!" Yvonne called out. She pushed the door open and got out of the car. "Who are you? What do you want?"The security guards from Sky Corporation quickly ran over. Dozens of people had started to gather around Harvey. In terms of numbers, they were finally able at an equal level.In truth, anyone from the other side should be able to easily defeat the bodyguards from Sky Corporation. Harvey, who knew this very clearly, also opened the door and walked to Yvonne's side. He looked at th
After Harvey was done with the Ninth Branch and sent Mandy home, he left. Mandy had shown him that she cared, but there were a lot of problems between them. They didn't even have to look for it—Lilian's existence alone was a constant thorn in their eyes. Unless Lilian chose to stop being a problem, Harvey had no interest in becoming the Zimmer family's son-in-law again. After leaving the Zimmer family, Harvey wasn't in a rush to go home. Instead, he went to Sky Corporation's HQ. He was surprised to see that the light in the CEO's office was still lit.Harvey arrived at the door and saw a beautiful woman still working quietly at the desk. He had just wanted to go in before hearing Yvonne's voice. It sounded like she was on a call. "Investigate it. We have to investigate this no matter what! Even if he's not going to ask about it right now, we still have to do it. What will happen if Mr. York wants to blame someone?"After that, Yvonne hung up."What happened?" Harvey asked as h
