Yoana ignored Harvey’s gaze and gave an order after the car entered Hong Kong.The personnel from all four levels, gold, silver, copper, and iron, must arrive at Dragon Palace’s branch before ten o’clock. They had to put down any issues at hand, regardless how important it was, and be punctual. However, things went just the way Harvey expected. All thirty-six gold-level personnel acted like they didn’t hear the announcement. Twelve said that they were on a business trip in Las Vegas. Another twelve said that they had duties to do, and the last twelve simply didn’t respond and ignored the fact that Yoana had just taken over the position.Yoana remained indifferent and gave out the order again.She told them that if they didn’t show up at Dragon Palace’s branch before ten o’ clock, then they would never have to show up again.In addition, she would assign others to resume their work and take over their power.If these gold-level personnel dared to reveal any private information
The high-level members of Dragon Palace grew slightly frightened when faced with the full extent of Yoana’s severe gaze. They were displeased about the arrangement, but they knew that Yoana had officially ascended the position, and that their lives were in her hands now.The confidence they had when they joined forces to go against Yoana prior was because they wrongly assumed that this little girl didn’t have any skills.Surely, she wouldn’t dare to command them. She might be overridden in minutes!Contrary to their expectations, Yoana was so powerful that she paid no mind to their positions and pushed through ferociously to have her way.Anyone who dared to disobey her would be fired immediately.Such a resolute style in doing things was absolutely terrifying.Their fears aside, the gold-level personnel still felt a little complacent even as they looked at the youthful Yoana. ‘I’m a gold-level personnel, and I’m closely related with the Yorks of Hong Kong and Las Vegas. I have
In under a minute, all thirty-four gold level personnel stayed.As for whether they yearned for Dragon Palace’s status and salary, or they actually thought that Yoana Mendoza was not going to remain in position for long, was still unknown.Yoana squinted at those people before issuing a new rule for the branch, indifferently.According to law, insurgents would be killed without warning.In Yoana’s eyes, there would be no attachments between people here. Next, she would improve the rules and regulations in Dragon Palace’s Hong Kong and Las Vegas branches. Anyone who crossed the line would be looking for their deaths.The gold level personnel felt immense pressure then. In their eyes, Yoana was really hard to deal with…But they still believed that without all of Dragon Palace’s support, the branch would not survive for long on its own.They figured that Yoana would probably beg Dragon Palace to reclaim the place back in a month’s time…Yoana wasted no time transferring the human
Harvey York’s indifferent reply made Yoana Mendoza take a deep breath.She knew full well of the consequences of her taking position.Other than offending the whole of Dragon Palace, she basically declared war against the number one top talent of Hong Kong and Las Vegas.She would have to pay a great price if she planned to keep her position.Without this opportunity, Yoana would have kept going down her original path…If that were the case, she would have no chance to rise as a distinguished character in the upper social circle in Hong Kong and Las Vegas. The Mendoza family would have stayed as an ordinary first-rate family.When a person or a family wants something, there will always be a price to pay…After seeing a slight change in Yoana’s expression, Harvey thought about the situation and said, “Of course, the Dragon Palace’s branch and the Mendoza family alone wouldn’t be enough to topple the foundations of Hong Kong and Las Vegas.“I’ll figure out a way to get the King o
Harvey York squinted slightly after hearing the name. He felt that it might be someone’s scheme.Yoana Mendoza coldly replied, “Why’d you even look for me for such a small matter?“There are so many people in Dragon Palace’s branch. There’s gold level personnel in charge of this sort of thing. Just get them to do the job!”The woman was anxious.“I can’t, Helm Mendoza! Those Islanders have extraordinary status. They’re from the Shinkage Way…“Shinkage Way is one of the Six Schools of Martial Arts in the Island Nations. They’re equally renowned compared to the Shindan Way!“With our current strength, we’re no match for the Shinkage Way!“We can’t afford to offend them. That’s why we need your help to see if they’re willing to pay us some respect, Helm Mendoza.”The woman observed Yoana’s actions as she frantically spoke, as if she wanted to see Yoana’s reactions.Harvey chuckled wordlessly. He wanted to see how Yoana would deal with the situation.If he guessed correctly, this
“Filth!”Yoana Mendoza let out a cold scoff before pulling out an exquisite firearm from her long boots and walking inside the Kyoto Box.“Fool!“Who’s there?! How dare you come close?!“Don’t you know that our master’s playing with a beautiful young woman?!”“Well, this woman’s quite the beauty too. Wanna play with us?”The Island swordsmen raised their heads to look at Yoana. They were filled with rage at first, but glee took over soon after, as if Yoana’s beautiful face enchanted them.Bang bang bang!Yoana could not be bothered to talk any longer and immediately pulled the trigger. The Islander swordsmen, who were showing wretched smiles on their faces, fell flat on the ground while covering the wounds on their legs.The crowd was frantically twitching their eyes.People from the Dragon Palace’s branch, the Yorks from Hong Kong, the Briewood Gang, and even Hong Kong and Las Vegas Police Station.All of them showed up here to see how Yoana would handle the situation.But
Even though words of approval came out of his mouth, the look on his face was filled with disdain and disgust as he mentioned the name of the helm.After all, the Dragon Palace’s branch without any support from Dragon Palace itself seemed extremely impractical and unrealistic to the eyes of many people. They felt that the branch might collapse at any second.The so-called helm also did not have much authority.Harvey York squinted at the Islander indifferently.An old man was standing not far behind the Islander. The old man seemed like an extremely plain skinny person who was showing male pattern baldness…But when Harvey saw him, his eyes could not help but squint.“It’s you, Aki Kitagawa.”Yoana Mendoza squinted after she saw the Islander’s face.“I wondered who’s making a fuss in the territory of Dragon Palace’s branch, taking advantage of some kind woman like that.“It was you all along, young lord of the Kitagawa Clan, disciple of the Shinkage Way…“But if I remember co
Bang!Aki Kitagawa stood up after hearing those words and kicked down the low table in front of him. Then, he picked up a cup of sake and casually took a sip.“A fair statement?” he asked with interest.“Helm Mendoza, how are you supposed to give us a fair statement?”“I am the young lord of the Kitagawa Clan and the disciple of the Shinkage Way. I’m having fun with women from Country H because I respect you people.“Are you braindead? How dare you even ask for a fair statement?!“Besides, the Dragon Palace’s branch is just water without a source. Do you really think you’re still the same invincible Dragon Palace from outside the borders?“A mere Dragon Palace’s branch dares to demand me for a fair statement?“Who gave you the courage to do so?“The gun in your hand?“Or your first-rate family? The government of Las Vegas’ first-in-command?“Shoot me if you dare!”Aki pointed at his forehead while showing an extremely arrogant look on his face.All his friends burst out la
"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
