Even though Edwin took a blow, he wasn’t scared at all. Right after the kick landed, he pounced forward and swung his palm with all his might.Bang!The attacker was immediately sent flying almost forty feet backward before smashing into the wooden floor.Harvey glanced over calmly, and saw that the attacker was a middle-aged man.The man looked like someone from Country H, but everything he wore had a hawkish American style to it.“Stand down, Falcon.”A stern voice suddenly rang from the entrance.“It’s pretty impressive to be able to withstand even a single blow against Falcon.”“He’s a retired King of Arms from America’s Army Special Forces. He’s quite powerful.”“Still, it doesn’t matter how impressive you are. You shouldn’t be hurting the Second Young Master.”“He’s a business partner of America’s Yates family, after all.”Just then, several people dressed in elegant traditional clothing strode in.They were decked in luxurious clothing from top to bottom, exuding an
Naturally, Christian was trying his hardest to kill Harvey and take control of Yoana.Unfortunately, Edwin’s fighting skills went beyond his imagination.As such, he was left with no choice and had to bring out Harrison at this moment.Harrison didn’t respond to Christian immediately. Instead, he went to sit on a couch and crossed his legs, and then lit a cigar. After blowing out a puff of smoke leisurely, he then displayed an imposing manner that looked as if he had everything under control.After smoking for a while, Harrison glanced calmly at Harvey and Yoana.“Let me introduce myself,” he said respectfully.“I am Harrison Yates, the candidate for the Yates family next prince.”“Perhaps you’ve never heard of us, so let me give you an introduction.” “The Yates family is one of the top ten financial groups in America. We have three of the twelve casino badges in Night City.”“St. Hope is also our family’s business.”“Simply put, this is my turf.”“People cheating and fig
“The daughter of Las Vegas’s first-in-command.”“No wonder you’re so arrogant and pompous…”“You even dared to stir trouble on my turf.”Harrison smiled warmly at her, though his eyes were cold.“Paul has quite the reputation, but it won’t be enough to solve the problem for tonight.”“I suggest you call another person.”Paul was powerful, and ordinary people might fear him. However, the Yateses of America had little regard for a mere first-in-command.Besides, Harrison knew full well who to pick between the Hamilton family and the Mendoza family.Judging from the Yates family’s hawkish attitude, they held disdain for those from Country H. Under these circumstances, why would Harrison give in? Harvey wanted to say something, but once again, Yoana cut him off. It was obvious that she was trying her hardest to suppress her boiling anger.“You’re a reasonable person, Young Master Yates.”“Let’s not talk about who’s right and wrong tonight.”“In return, we can take a step back.
“Y-you bastard!”The bodyguards soon snapped back to their senses.They immediately pointed their firearms at Harvey’s head.Edwin instinctively stood in front of Harvey.However, Harvey placed the shattered bottle in his hand on Harrison’s neck without even batting an eye.At that instant, blood dripped out of Harrison’s torn skin.“You motherf*cker! How dare you take Young Master Yates hostage?! Do you have a death wish?!”“Let him go, or we’ll kill you!”“We’ll shoot!”Christian was scared witless by Harvey’s actions. He snatched a firearm for himself and took the safety off before aiming it toward Harvey. Falcon, Harrison’s bodyguard, did the same.They wanted to pull the trigger so badly…!Harvey’s actions went beyond their imaginations.They were all self-proclaimed elites from the upper social circle. They would never end up in danger, even when they were suppressing or deterring others under them.But now, Harvey had taken Harrison hostage.If Harvey’s finger slip
To Harrison, no matter what status and identity Harvey had, Harvey would have to pay the price a hundredfold if he killed Harrison.Harrison was sure that Harvey wasn’t stupid, either. The only reason he was taken hostage was because Harvey wanted to survive.As such, he knew that Harvey wouldn’t do anything rash. Or at least, that was his conjecture.“You impress me, Young Master Yates,” Harvey said playfully.“Ordinary princes and young masters would already be scared witless after seeing such a sight.”“You really are decent. As expected from the candidate for the next prince.”“There’s just one thing.I’m not good at dealing with provocations, so you better not provoke me.”“Otherwise, you might not even have time to regret…”Harvey’s words were calm as he pushed the shattered bottle in his hand deeper into Harrison’s skin. More and blood began pouring out of Harrison’s neck…But Harrison ignored it completely.“You might not understand the Yateses of America’s hawkish sta
“Edwin Mendoza, make a call!“Let Elder Mendoza bring the team to the pier!“And call some reporters to come over!“Just say that St. Hope, the gambling cruise of the Yates family of America, isn’t willing to lose, and even framing the gamblers by saying that they cheated!“If they failed to frame them, then they will forcefully suppress the gamblers!“Expose this scene. We’ll see if anyone is willing to come to play at the Casino Palace under the Yates family of America from today onward!“Since Young Master Yates wants to act ruthlessly, then we’ll play along with him!”Harvey York scolded while giving out a dozen slaps, hitting Harrison Yates until his face was swollen, looking hideous.He was not afraid of death, but if the reputation of the Yates family of America had plummeted internationally because of this, how could they still make money in Night City?Edwin was stunned for a moment. He quickly took out his mobile phone after that and made a call because he could also
The atmosphere was tense. Harrison Yates took a deep breath while looking at Harvey York’s noncommittal smile and forced himself to calm down.“Brat, you are so relentless. You really got me there!”Both Yoana Mendoza and Edwin Mendoza looked at him coldly after he said this.Harrison was obviously unwilling, but still, he took a deep breath. He then looked at the group of subordinates and coldly gave out an order, “Get out of the way. Let them go. No one is allowed to stop them!”He was hesitant to let Harvey go, but he also knew the consequences if he continued to meddle in this matter.Slap! Harvey then slapped Harrison again and replied coldly, “You want us to leave. Why should we listen to you?“Who do you think you are?“Showing me your attitude!”Harrison’s eyelids twitched. After a while, he spoke to Yoana, “Miss Yoana, I’m sorry, everything is a misunderstanding.“I sincerely apologize for what happened today. You can also take the three hundred million with you.“Th
After a slight hesitation, Harvey York asked, “What’s the situation tonight? Logically speaking, even if there is a so-called credit note, you still wouldn’t go to the gambling cruise and play, right? Moreover, you even have to play billions in one go?”Harvey already knew the whole story, but he had not quite figured out Yoana Mendoza’s purpose for doing all this.Yoana glanced at Edwin Mendoza and then said solemnly, “There are two purposes.“One is to settle Edwin’s debt completely. In Las Vegas, reputation is critical. You must repay it as long as you owe a debt.”“So, I want to take advantage of tonight to find out how deep Edwin is in debt and then solve this problem completely.“Second, the sudden appearance of this credit note that had Edwin’s name on is deliberately arranged by someone else. I want to see who wants to attack the Mendoza family.“After all, the Mendoza family has been walking on eggshells over the years. It is even riskier since my father has taken over t
"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
