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
Aki Kitagawa scoffed.“So what if I am?“If it were the previous helm of Dragon Palace’s branch, I’d at least pay some respect!“But you have no right for that sort of thing!“You don’t even have the right to kneel and speak right now, let alone be on equal footing with me! Do you understand?!”Yoana Mendoza took a step forward while showing a cold expression on her face, ready to pull the trigger.Harvey York swiftly held her back, signaling her to back off. He then calmly walked forward and sized up Aki.“Some mere Islanders dare to show off this much in Country H’s territory?”He didn’t want to stand out before, but since the Shinkage Way was one of the Island Nation’s Six Schools of Martial Arts, the Mendoza family would not be able to handle the situation judging from their background.That was why Harvey felt like he had to deal with the situation himself.Aki sized up Harvey and coldly chuckled after seeing his frail and pallid body.“What? The master can’t handle me,
"Enough. There's no point staying here. This place is cold and lifeless. Let's return to Wolsing. We can have something hot together. I also have something I want to talk with you about," Samuel said as he patted Harvey's shoulder. Then, Samuel wanted to take Harvey with him."Nah," Harvey suddenly said. "I need to send Mandy back home first. Maybe over a cup of tea with milk to warm her body and stop her from shaking. We can go out another time."Everyone was stunned after they heard what Harvey had just said. How could Harvey reject an invitation from someone important like Samuel? Just… Who was he?But before they could even recover, Neve suddenly grabbed a hand crossbow from one of her followers and pointed it toward Harvey. It was clear that she was still upset. The madness on her face was tinged by vengefulness and pain as she shouted, "I know you're more important than any of us, Mr. Samuel! I know someone like you can ignore all the laws in this world! But where's justice in
It was obvious that Lanny had no choice but to say that. Since if she did not do that, not only would she ruin the Bennett family's reputation, but the entire Grand City's reputation would also be tarnished.""Oh, right. You're called Lanny? And you're threatening me with your predecessor? Are you from White Peak by any chance?" Samuel asked curiously.Lanny gritted her teeth and replied, "That's right. I'm from White Peak, one of the Seven Families of Grand City."Samuel smirked and said, "I have dueled Ares Bennett three times, and he lost to me three times. If I wanted to, I could have slain him immediately the last time if I wanted to. That's why Ares has to call me Mr. Samuel whenever he sees me on the street and listens to me. You're just a greenhorn from White Peak… And you're pretending to be something special before me?"Samuel did not bother showing Lanny any respect. "Not to mention, everyone here has a good head on their shoulders. What really happened and what the trut
"It's all a misunderstanding, Mr. Samuel!" said Lanny with a darkened expression."But just now, I heard something about fighting to the last man, and there were so many weapons being used here that were targeted against martial artists. Are you telling me there's a misunderstanding? Do I look like a fool?" Samuel gave a cold smile and waved his hand.A formless wave of energy instantly rolled against Lanny's men. Lanny and the others were shocked and used everything they could to block this attack, which took them by surprise.But it was useless.In just an instant, all the Grand City's youths did everything they could, but all of them had to take three steps back as they coughed out a mouthful of blood.Some distance away, some men with longbows and crossbows also grunted as they fell to the ground.In just a simple attack, the Forbidden Wasteland's defenses instantly crumbled.Perhaps this was what they meant by invincibility.No one from Grand City dared stand beside Harvey
The man who came wore a white robe with a cold expression. He looked around and spoke clearly, "I heard someone say my young master has committed murder. I'm here to see if any evidence and witnesses are saying so. If I find any of them are fake, I'll slay those and their families who claim so!"He said it casually, like an old man making a comment while sweeping the streets. However, everyone here could feel their heart skipping a beat.There was only silence.Even Ethan's gaze froze for a moment. That was because he sensed an aura from the old man, which was extremely close to the chief instructor.He was an elite!As for the rest of those from Grand City, they were all stunned. The old man was able to hover in the air. This could only be done when one had become one with nature! Could it be that other elites who were not from the Grand City had reached the same level?Even Lanny, who boasted that a great power supported her, could not help but watch, her expression pale and in
"You are really quite impressive, Ethan. But do you dare to go against the Ministry of Defense's orders openly? I suggest you better give your great elder a call. Or maybe wait for him to call you!" Lanny said as if she had gotten an ace in a hole."I'm worried that you'll accidentally cause a chain effect and lose everything," Ethan coldly replied as he stared at Lanny with a similar coldness in his eyes. To him, none of his leaders could compare with the importance of the chief instructor. But the problem was, he could not inform the great elder why he did this. That was why even someone resolute like Ethan could not help but frown.However, his expression quickly returned calm. "Looks like Grand City isn't as powerful. Not only can you do nothing to me, but you even have to use your favors and connections from the past to stop me. And now, I'm even more convinced that Mr. Harvey is innocent! So, my apologies, but tonight, I don't care who calls me… I'm not going to stop!"Then, E
"You have reasons?" There was fury in Lanny's eyes. "Then tell me, what reasons are they?"Ethan seemed disdainful. "With your status? You don't have the right to know what the reasons are."He did not make that up, though. Lanny really did not have the authority to know Harvey's actual status. "Alright, let's not waste our time. Tell your people to put down your weapons, raise their hands, and squat over there. All my friends here are very impatient. If both sides went into conflict and accidentally killed a few people…"Well. It's going to be categorized as a training exercise accident. We don't have to bear any responsibility for it."Ethan's words were calm, as if everything he said made total and natural sense."Ethan!" Lanny shuddered in anger. "Grand City and the Ministry of Defense have always kept a respectful distance from each other. Are you going to make Grand City your enemy just for this man over here? Have you considered the consequences and whether it was worth it?
Grand City was outside the usual system within Country H. However, the truth was that it was a place where all the Sacred Training Grounds congregated together. Whether it was Country H in its current form or when all the other dynasties ruled it, it had always been an untouchable faction.Not to mention that they were protected by the Seven Families as well as the other Sacred Training Grounds. If they decided to fight, the power Grand City could call upon could far surpass what others could have imagined.That was why Lanny believed they had a fighting chance even when they faced the legendary Sword Camp."Grand City's reputation really does precede itself. And you're really quite impressive yourself," Ethan said as he clapped his hands. "If it's someone else, they would be kneeling on the ground shuddering, right? Unfortunately, you forgot that we survived on real battlefields. We do not fear death. Besides the Chief Instructor, every soldier in this camp is a King of Arms! Even
Harvey slightly frowned. He was shocked that Ethan had arrived. He even brought 500 soldiers from the Sword Camp. Was he attempting to destroy the entire Forbidden Wasteland?The 500 soldiers immediately encircled the entire Forbidden Wasteland as Harvey calmly watched how things developed. All of them had a sword by their waist, and their right hand was at the hilt. While they had not pulled out their swords yet, they were exuding a malevolent aura around them.Harvey had trained each of them, and they had all gone to war with him in the past. When they saw that Harvey was completely unharmed, they were both filled with excitement and relief. However, because of their orders, none of them went to salute him."So, this is the famous Forbidden Wasteland of World City. It was said that the people who were imprisoned here could never leave. I wonder if the Sword Camp can leave this place in one piece?"Ethan, who was in his military uniform, jumped off from the helicopter in mid-air.
Harvey narrowed his eyes as he looked at Lanny. There was only disdain in his eyes. "You said that you're doing everything by your law… But in truth, you simply want to make things worse. Despite looking like an agent of justice right now, what is happening right now is what you wanted the most."I'm the representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance, which makes me the mayor of Grand City in name. Whether you want to interrogate or set me up, all of you must consider the consequences of your actions. But what if I was the one that did it first? That would give you a reason to attack me, right?"I have to admit that it indeed worked in your favor, Lanny. But it also showed me the truth about Grand City! Rules and laws that have existed since ancient times? All of them were jokes and excuses!"Blade listened to Harvey with a dark expression, as if his beliefs were challenged. Meanwhile, Lanny remained calm. She breathed deeply and gave a cold reply, "Stop wasting your breath, Ha
