“Small world indeed, Young Master Flynn.”“I’m sure it’s fate for us to meet here. You should have a drink.”Harvey set the nearly full bottle of Louis XIII, smiling warmly.“If you drink all this, I’ll let you off the hook.”Harvey raised his glass and poured the wine to the ground, staining the floor.He glanced at Matthew, still smiling. The crowd was dumbfounded at the sight.It was their first time seeing someone acting this arrogantly before Matthew.‘What does he mean, he’ll let Young Master Flynn off the hook if he drinks all of it?’If Matthew’s actions were considered arrogant, what Harvey did was flat out condescending!Sister Thirteen and the others glared coldly at Harvey, but none of them heard how Matthew had addressed Harvey. They didn’t expect Harvey to say such a thing to Matthew.This was Matthew Flynn, after all!One of the Four Masters of Hong Kong, and the successor of the Flynn family!Even the first-in-command of Hong Kong would have to pay respect
Denver looked as if he had taken a bite out of a bitter gourd. He was speechless, unable to say a single word.Sister Thirteen’s expression was entertaining as well. Her mouth was completely wide-open, her jaw hung so low it threatened to drop on the floor.Hiroshi even forgot to stand up. He couldn’t believe his eyes.“Young Master Flynn was forced to drink?”The Louis XIII bottle was almost full. There was about sixteen ounces of liquid in it, yet Matthew downed the whole bottle without any hesitation.On top of it all, Harvey was being condescending about the whole situation. Everyone felt resentful, unable to accept that fact.None of them were complete buffoons. While they couldn’t figure out why, they could understand that Matthew feared the man in front of him, and that Harvey was not to be provoked.Guh!Soon, Matthew was on the verge of throwing up after downing the entire bottle.He was a good drinker, but drinking so much had his head spinning quite a bit.But sinc
Slap!Before Denver could continue talking, Matthew’s eyes twitched frantically and he moved his hands to the side. In just a moment, he swung his hand on Denver’s face and sent Denver rolling on the ground.Immediately, he followed up by lifting Denver roughly from the ground and slapping Denver multiple times. Slap!“Are you blind, Denver?! Don’t you recognize South Light’s Prince York?!”Slap!“Do you only know how to bully people and stir up trouble?! Do you think you’re God?!”Slap!“If you keep offending Prince York, even if he decides to let you off the hook, I can’t do the same!”Matthew’s slaps were utterly ruthless; Denver’s face was completely swollen, and some of his teeth had fallen off after enduring a barrage of slaps.But the sharp pain on Denver’s face was nothing when he heard Matthew’s claim. At that instant, he could feel his life flash before his eyes.“S-South Light’s Prince York?!”Hong Kong, Las Vegas, and South Light were only an ocean apart. News
Matthew’s eyes twitched again at Harvey’s calm words.Harvey’s words were deceptively simple, but they had completely revealed Matthew’s thoughts.Denver, who was wailing on the ground, wouldn’t think much about the matter. However, the legendary King of Gambling would surely think twice if he were to catch wind of this.Alas, Matthew was trying to get the Hamilton family to do his dirty work!If that were to happen…Matthew’s eyes went haywire as panic rose inside him. Right now, he knew he was going against someone way above his league.“You should know what’s best for you, Young Master Flynn.”“I think the King of Gambling himself will talk to you real soon.”Matthew quickly changed his expression, at loss for words from sheer fear. He could only stare blankly at the ground, too terrified to think anything else.He had been humiliated utterly and thoroughly. He knew trouble would come back to bite him sooner or later.“Alright, get these people out of here. Let Sister Thir
“Everything seems to be fine after I went to Las Vegas and Hong Kong, but now, we’ve gathered one important piece of information…”“These people would come for my close ones just to kill me.”“Right now, Mandy’s their best target.”“I need to give them the wrong impression. They need to know that I’m scared.”“They’ll start to think that I was forced to divorce Mandy. They’ll even think that there’s a huge gap between us after what happened in Las Vegas and Hong Kong. I’m sure everyone who’s targeting me will be very happy to hear this, no?”“Only then will the cracks in Las Vegas and Hong Kong start to show…”Tyson froze.“I get it now. But, about Mordu…” Tyson began quietly.“Give Ethan a call. Tell me that he’s in charge of the Zimmer family’s safety.”“He’s a God of War. He should be able to deal with something this small,” Harvey explained.“Another thing. Get me a visiting card.”“I’ll go see Las Vegas’ first-in-command, Paul Mendoza himself, tomorrow.”…Twelve at m
The square-faced man tapped Lilian’s face lightly, grinning. “Interesting. We thought you were just some brain-dead woman, but it looks like you do have some insight after all. At least, I’m a little moved by your words.”“It’s a shame that neither you nor I get to decide whether you live or die...”Lilian’s body trembled in fright.“Please, sir! Be the bigger person and let me go!”“H-how about this? I have another few hundred million dollars worth of private money. I’ll split half of it with you!”The man with a square face didn’t respond. He stood up and chuckled coldly, and then dialed a number on his phone.“We found Lilian, Master York. She’s still alive.”“Looks like the Briewood Gang kept her alive for ransom.”“What should we do next? According to my intel, that man’s already interrogated Sister Thirteen overnight. He’ll be here soon.”“Why don’t we set things up here and give him a big surprise?”“Kill her.”A frosty tone sounded from the other side of the phone.
‘Is he even human?!’‘He’s already this good of a fighter at such a young age. It’s terrifying!’The square-faced man found himself terrified to the bones.No wonder his superior wanted him to be careful when going against Harvey York! If he missed his chance, he would’ve had no way out of the situation.Everything right now was too terrifying for him!This was The square-faced man’s evaluation of Harvey.But before he could say anything, Harvey kicked down another man who had rushed toward him.Other than Lilian, there were only four men left standing behind the square-faced man.“You’re pretty impressive, Harvey!” he said, sizing up Harvey.“I’ll admit that I’m not your opponent.”“But your end is already set in stone!”The square-faced man took a few steps back, then pulled Lilian up before removing her blindfold.“Break your arms and leave, Sir York! If not, I’ll end her life right now!” he exclaimed furiously.Lilian immediately came to her senses after her blindfold
“If anything happens to me, I’ll chase you down even if I turn into a damn ghost!”“You have to divorce Mandy no matter what! I won’t let her keep you ever again!” Lilian continued to screech.“I think you should just do as you’re told and chop off your arms already, Harvey.”The square-faced man grinned, as if he had realized something.“If you don’t, how are you supposed to live up to your wife and mother-in-law’s expectations?”“You of all people should know that we’re doing so much just to cripple you.”“Your mother-in-law’s just a means to get there. It doesn’t matter if she lives or dies!”“I swear to God that if you chop off both your arms, I’ll let your mother-in-law go this instant!”“If I break my promise, then I’ll die without a burial spot!”Naturally, the square-faced man understood that he was no match for Harvey after witnessing Harvey’s fighting skills first hand.His only hope as of now was to use Lilian to suppress Harvey.If Harvey were to cripple himself,
"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
