In spite of the increasingly violent crowd, Peyton still remained calm.“I wanted to at least pay everyone some respect, so that none of you embarrass yourselves.”“But since you’re so hellbent on law and justice, so be it. I’ll play your game.”“Six months ago, Shindan Way’s Sakura Miyamoto from the Island Nation commanded an onmyoji, Griffin Young, to curse my family’s ancestral hall. She also tried to kill my granddaughter, Talia.”“The Shindan Way’s finest sword, Taro, as well as Griffin, has already confessed to their crime. We have both the evidence and testimonies to prove this.”“Another thing. Hector of the Thompson family has ordered Sakura to assassinate Sir Harvey York multiple times. Naturally, these have all been proven to be true.”“In accordance with the rules of Dragon Cell, we won’t take Hector away before we acquire solid evidence.”“Sakura Miyamoto, on the other hand, has to come with us.”“This is the justice you want us to give you. So, Miss Thompson. Are
As Alice looked at Harvey, rage and fear filled her heart. She then saw Tyson and Rachel shooting amused looks at her, and her anger exploded. “Harvey York!”Alice gritted her teeth, furious.“You’re just relying on Senior Horan after doing him a small favor!”“If you just use your abilities, do you really think you can beat me?”Harvey was already making his leave, but Alice’s words piqued his interest. He stopped midway and turned back to her. “Are you telling me that you’re not satisfied with the verdict?”“That’s right! I’m not!”Alice was clenching her teeth so hard, she almost broke her tooth.“If you’re not satisfied, I’ll crush you until you are.”Harvey casually threw his phone to the ground and kicked it to Alice.“I’ll give you a chance to call anyone. Call to your heart’s content.”“If you manage to scare me off with your trump card, I’ll leave Sakura with you.”“Go on. Call someone!”“You asked for it yourself, after all!”Alice swiftly dialed a number, st
“Master Lynch?”Harvey chuckled softly.“Ooh, I’m so scared!”“How about we change it up a little? This time, I’ll make the call for you.”Without even giving Alice a chance to respond, Harvey grabbed the phone and immediately dialed a number. He also turned on the speaker so that everyone could hear the phone conversation.A man’s carefree tone was then heard from the other side.“Brother York, why are you calling me during this time?”“I’m still having a meeting at Wolsing. If you need anything from me, just get Yona to do it in my place.”‘Brother?!’At this moment, Alice’s expression was at its worst.“It’s not much, Master Lynch. I just wanted to ask you something.”“A woman named Alice Thompson was planning to get you to crush me.”“Would you actually help her?”“Crush you? Alice?”Benjamin froze slightly at this, startled.“Brother York, she’s just someone from the Thompson family. Who gave her permission to say something like that?”“Besides, she knows the conse
Alice, who belonged to one of the top ten families that countless people wanted to cling to, was now kneeling in front of Harvey like a dog as she begged for his forgiveness.Bang!Harvey sent Alice rolling along the ground with a kick. He patted his hands together, and then turned to the crowd surrounding him.“Nobody minds if I take these two Islanders away, right?”The crowd was dead silent. Nobody dared to jump out and argue with Harvey again.If they compared numbers, Harvey had dozens of people standing behind him.If they compared skill, Harvey was skilled enough to the point he had completely crippled Master Fatal.If they compared strength, Peyton showed up with his men the instant Harvey called.If they compared the level of influence, even Alice Thompson was forced to beg for mercy…It was safe to say that Alice and Cheryl had completely lost on every level!Sakura was filled with despair. She knew that there was no hope in relying on anyone from Country H to save
The seductive look on Sakura’s face vanished instantly.“Sir York. No, Head Coach York,” she said quietly.“This isn’t a battlefield, nor is it a life-or-death situation. Even if it is, as adults, shouldn’t we be a little more mature?”“For us, we only see interests rather than enemies. Am I wrong?” “My death wouldn’t benefit you either, would it?”Harvey kept munching on his kebab while taking great gulps of beer. The smile on his face never faded all this while.“On the contrary, it does.”“For instance, you know my actual identity.”“One of the most important reasons why you haven’t exposed my identity yet is because you wanted to sell this secret of mine to the Emperor of the Island Nations, all so that you can get a promotion!”“If the Island Nations were to mobilize troops against Country H, we’ll be forced to stay passive since my identity has been exposed.”“Am I wrong?”Sakura’s expression changed frantically. She gritted her teeth, infuriated.“Sir York! I swear
“How dare you!”“People like you aren’t allowed to insult my sensei!”“He didn’t show up because he was seeking to enhance his martial arts to a higher level!”“If he were to actually fight, as the sovereign of Shindan Way, he could’ve cut you in half with a single slash!”Sakura laughed maniacally as she pointed aggressively at Harvey. None of her mannerisms showed that she was a prisoner. She had forgotten her place.Slap!Harvey slapped Sakura across the face, not bothered to say anything in reply.Sakura screamed in pain as her body flung away from the impact. She landed on the deck with a loud bang, blood gushing out of her mouth. “Are you really going to defy me, Harvey?”“Aren’t you scared of my sensei going after you?”Sakura was boiling with rage.“Don’t you realize that you’re no match for him at all?!”Slap!Harvey swung his palm across Sakura’s face once more.“Sakura Miyamoto, are all Islanders as brain-dead as you?” Harvey asked calmly.“You’re about to di
“Let me warn you! Listen closely…”“I am the sovereign of Shindan Way and one of the Six Sword Saints of Island Nations, Akio Yashiro!”“Sakura is my last disciple! If you dare hurt her, I’ll slaughter your entire family!”“I don’t care who you are or what identity you have. I order you to let her go without making a fuss! After that, you must apologize!”“If you refuse, I’ll show up and annihilate you and your entire family with my bare hands!”Akio’s tone seemed righteous and decisive. He thought that if he flaunted his titles, he would be able to frighten Harvey into obeying him.He was confident that it would work again.But Harvey only chuckled in response.“Alright, then. I’ll wait for you in Mordu.”Harvey snapped his finger once more. The Longmen disciples promptly stuffed Sakura into a dirty sack.“Sen-sensei, you have to be careful! His true identity is…”Glug, glug, glug…Sakura could not finish her words. The Longmen disciples tightened the sack and flung her in
“Calm yourself, Ms. Thompson,” Cheryl replied slowly after a moment’s hesitation.“We weren’t outmatched by Harvey. He came with support, and we weren’t ready for him yet.”“We only lost because we were careless!”“I’ve heard everything about him already. There’s a reason why he’s able to mobilize so many people this time!”“That man seems to have some tricks up his sleeve. He dealt with Benjamin’s geomancy problem in his mansion, and then saved Senior Horan’s dear granddaughter…”“Because of these little tricks, he was able to get their support!”“However, favors don’t last forever! You of all people should know, Ms. Thompson.”“Does a nere live-in son-in-law really think he can trample all over us with just a few favors, especially when he has no standing in Mordu?”“He was just lucky!”Cheryl then took a deep breath.“Not only did Harvey offend the Xaviers of Wolsing, but he also went against the Thompsons.”“He even provoked Island Nations’ Shindan Way!”“He also angere
"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
