“It’s a shame that your question isn’t a part of my problem.”Harvey York casually sipped his tea as he also handed Edwin Mendoza a teacup.“I just want to know how you’ll give me a statement for drugging my friend.“Are you going to kneel? Or do you want to die instead?”“Kneel?“Die?”Carol Parker showed a sweet smile while looking down on Harvey and speaking in a playful tone.“Are you mistaken, Kid?“Drugging your friend?“ It is your greatest honor for Young Master Takei even to be interested in your woman!“This woman here’s utterly blessed! Do you understand?!“You should be thanking Young Master Takei for giving her a chance to serve him! You should grovel as thanks showing your sincerity!“This is the right way to do it!“You shouldn’t act as if you have a death wish. Do you understand?”Carol looked around her surroundings after she was done talking.“Right. Where’s that woman?“Bring her here. After I break your limbs, I’ll have her serve Young Master Takei r
Old Man Zummo walked forward indifferently before squinting at Carol Parker.“Ms. Parker, you’ll have to give the Hamiltons a fair statement about this incident.“If not, we wouldn’t mind initiating an all-out war against the Briewood Gang.”Naoto Takei walked toward Carol and quietly asked, “Ms. Parker, does this woman have a special identity?”“Special?”A profound smile leaked out of the corners of Carol’s mouth.“Of course she is. She’s a member of the Hamiltons.”‘A daughter of the Hamiltons?!’Naoto did not feel any fear after hearing those words. Instead, he was exhilarated.At this moment, he wanted to pounce on Zina Hamilton and swallow her whole.“Ms. Hamilton, Butler Zummo, all this is just a misunderstanding.”Carol squinted at the fierce-looking Zina and Old Man Zummo while showing a faint smile.“Young Master Takei drank too much. He couldn’t help but compliment the young lady after seeing her stunning looks.“The subordinates misunderstood him because of it.
“Five limbs? So, you want his c*ck snapped as well?”A playful look leaked out of Carol Parker’s face.“Don’t burn your bridges that early, Zina Hamilton.“Stop pretending like you’re the victim here! Do you actually think you’re not at fault?!“You think I’m scared of the Hamiltons just because you’re being aggressive?!“What can you even gain from going against me?!”Carol’s expression was as cold as ice at this moment.“I’ll give you one minute!”Zina completely ignored Carol’s animosity.“You do it yourselves, or my people will do it for you!” exclaimed Zina coldly.Carol’s face immediately darkened. She did not expect that Zina would not even pay her any respect.“Do you know who Young Master Takei is?! He’s the top talent of the Shinkage Way!” said Carol.“Do you even realize what the Shinkage Way is?!“They’re one of the Six Schools of Martial Arts from the Island Nations. Their status is on par with the five hidden families of Country H!“You want to cripple Young
At this moment, Carol Parker came back to her senses. Her eyes frantically twitched while looking at such a horrible sight.“What’s the meaning of this, Zina Hamilton?!” she exclaimed.“Are you not going to change your mind?!“Do you want a fight?!“Do you really want us to go our separate ways?!”Zina remained composed.“Old Man Zummo, cripple Naoto Takei,” said Zina coldly.Old Man Zummo nodded slightly and waved his hand. The fighters of the Hamiltons immediately pounced forward after.Both sides were at a deadlock, ready to fight at any moment.“Stop!”When a fight was about to break loose, a scream could be heard from the entrance.“Stop right now!”Someone took off the safety of a firearm and shot toward the sky.The crowd was utterly shocked.A group of people in traditional clothing strutted inside the box.The leading man was extremely handsome.Harvey squinted at the man before taking his phone out to see the picture of the Victoria Harbor fireworks.This was
“Brother York!”Zina Hamilton seemed quite close to Vince York.“It’s not that I want to cause trouble, but that shameless bastard, Naoto Takei, drugged me!” exclaimed Zina while biting her lip.“Carol Parker even took his side!“Is it wrong for me to ask for justice?”Carol’s expression frantically changed moments before she bowed.“Young Lord York, this is all just a misunderstanding.“To show our sincerity, Young Master Takei and I are willing to apologize and compensate for her losses but the lady even tried to castrate Young Master Takei using her family’s influence!“You should know that this is such a cruel way to treat a man, Young Lord York!“That’s why I…”“Alright. Both of you, shut up.”Vince waved his hand while emanating his pressuring aura with a calm look on his face.“Someone already informed me what happened.“Both you and Naoto are in the wrong, Carol.“If you taint Zina’s innocence, you’ll incite war between the three families and cause Hong Kong and L
Zina Hamilton’s face turned pale. She was filled with utter disbelief when looking at Vince York’s eyes. She did not expect that the man she had known since childhood would treat her this way.Zina gritted her teeth angrily.“I have an issue!“The bar, fifteen million dollars, or an apology doesn’t mean anything to me!“My family doesn’t need anything like this!“Besides, have you thought about the things that would happen to me if I wasn’t lucky enough?!“I only have one demand, which is to cripple Naoto’s every single limb!”“I want his dick chopped off too!”Zina almost broke a tooth with how hard she was gritting her teeth then.The look on her face was enough to make the men around feel a draft under their pants.“Zina!”Vince frowned slightly.“Are you not going to respect even my wishes?!“Besides, this isn’t a place for you to act rashly!“Even if Naoto is wrong, he shouldn’t be punished this way!“Have you thought of the consequences of him being castrated?!“I
“Ever since we were little, you told me that you were going to make the Yorks from Hong Kong the top hidden family out of the five when we just met!“You said that you were going to become the only top talent of this generation!“You were going to rise to the peak and defeat every enemy in your path!“And after you grow up, you’d dominate the younger generation of Hong Kong and Las Vegas and steal the limelight!“I always regarded you as my elder brother—my hero!“But you won’t even stand up for me when I’m being taken advantage of by some Islander!“You even let them threaten me as they please!“Why did I even see you as my hero when I was a kid?!“You’re not my brother, Vince! You’re just a poser!“You only take advantage of the weak, and hide away like a wuss when you bump into some Islanders!“You embarrass me!“People still call you the legendary Head Coach when you look like this?!“Piss off!”Zina was as disappointed as when she admired Vince ever since she was a chi
Vince glanced at Naoto and the others calmly.Fifteen million dollars was just a number to him. It wasn’t a lot of money, and he wasn’t particularly interested in it either…But he admired Naoto’s attitude.He knew how to repay his favors. For Vince, this was someone worth being allies with.Besides, as someone from one of Six Schools of Martial Arts in the Island Nations, Naoto was quite the capable person. This was the main reason why Vince was willing to sell him the favor.That was why Vince didn’t reject his money. He considered it as a bridge between the two’s friendship.Vince wasn’t stupid either. After glancing at Naoto filled with interest, he asked, “Since you’re being so generous, I’m sure you must have other demands.”“I heard that Country H values etiquette highly. I see it now.”Naoto had a charming expression on his face.“Don’t you worry, Sir York. I won’t make it too hard for you.”“My term is simple: leave this man here for me.”“After all, I need him to g
"Treason! This is treason!" Joven roared as he immediately assigned a crime to Harvey. "It's true the Country H Martial Arts Alliance's Representative is always the mayor of Grand City, but they must first go through all the necessary procedures first as well as obtaining the support of the Seven Families!"At most, you're just a candidate. You're not really the mayor of the Grand City! You're already calling yourself the mayor of this city before you have even become one, and you're even challenging the Peacekeeping Agency's authority! If you're really going to do this by the book, I can assure you that the Peacekeeping Agency will not vote you in!"And now, I will arrest you for treason!"Joven waved his hand, and the uniformed officers from the agency pulled out their repeating crossbows. From how aggressive they were, it was obvious that they were going to take Harvey down—even kill him."If I want to become the mayor of Grand City, I don't need anyone's agreement, and I don't
"You're the one that needs calcium! Our backbone is fine, thank you very much!" The short-haired woman was enraged. "Do you think someone narrow-minded like you can get cocky just because of a small victory? Do you know how powerful Sky Plane is? Do you know how weak you are? You're so narrow-minded! Forget about the strongest Origin Fist student, Mark, you can't even beat me! I'm telling you right now, you better…"Before she could even finish, Harvey frowned and immediately slapped her away. She was too noisy, and she wasted everyone's time!There was only silence when they saw Harvey slap the woman away.The Peacekeeping Agency in Grand City was in a unique position. They stood outside the normal hierarchy. Not only did they represent the will of the seven families, but they also represented the authority within Grand City.While many criticized Joven for becoming the spokesperson for Sky Plane, many would still fervently support him no matter where he went. Other than havin
"Don't you know what laws you have broken?" Joven snorted coldly, his face filled with arrogance. "Harvey, there's no need for you to act this way."Harvey's expression was cold. "I'm new to Grand City so I don't understand much about your so-called laws, but I'm also not interested in knowing them. But since you said I broke the law, as the Chief of the Peacekeeping Agency, you need to explain it to me, right?"Before Joven could say anything, the short-haired woman cut in coldly, "Harvey York. You intentionally targeted Sky Plane, a fine neighbor to Grand City. You intentionally used something as shameless as calling the Islanders weaklings to start a conflict between Country H and the Island Nation."You wanted to start a war between the two nations because of your personal vendetta. This is your crime…and an unpardonable one! Does it feel good when you put on the banner calling the Islanders weaklings? Do you think you're brilliant because you managed to defeat the practitioners
Harvey didn't react too much when he saw the man wearing the gray robe. However, Rachel was on high alert and stood next to Harvey with a frown. When Harvey noted what she was doing, he asked interestedly, "You know who this man is?""From the information I've gathered last night, this man is one of the persons in charge of Grand City's Peacekeeping Agency, Joven Greene. He's responsible for keeping the peace between the seven families. He's not that strong, but he represents the will of the seven families."When he handles the disputes between those from the Grand City and outsiders, he's usually very decisive. It's said that his relationship with the Islanders is quite good. Not only have they offered him several women, but they have also given him plenty of money and resources."The Island Nation must have pressured him regarding the matter of the cloth. It's normal to use such a relationship at a critical time…"After hearing what Rachel had to say about Joven, Harvey had s
After what had happened, the Dragon Gate training hall once again became Grand City's topic of conversation. The Islanders, other than gaining the title of being weaklings, also gained the reputation of being shameless.In just a few short hours, news of everything disgusting the Islanders did today quickly spread throughout Grand City. Anyone in Grand City with a conscience knew who to protect at a time like this.The Islanders, known for their haughtiness, became extremely unwelcome in Grand City. They didn't have any standards at all when taking actions and didn't even care about their reputation.Meanwhile, the Peacekeeping Agency was getting a headache as well. They had no choice but to increase their manpower and stop the Islanders from doing whatever they wanted after causing such a huge commotion. At the same time, they also asked Harvey to take the cloth down.Harvey didn't mind it much. The cloth in front of the training hall could be easily removed, but the resentment th
Everyone's eyes were on Harvey, wanting to see how he would solve this problem. The boy even gave Harvey a middle finger before hooking it, provoking him.Harvey simply looked at the boy curiously while enjoying his coffee, as if the boy was a clown. He could tell that the boy had trained in the Empty Hands Technique for a bit…and he really meant a little bit.If Harvey really did make his move, the boy would die instantly. Should that happen, things would become even more complicated. This was a truly despicable scheme. The Islanders' plots were just as appalling as ever.Harvey felt fortunate that he already knew that the Islanders' schemes could be quite vicious, so he had already made the necessary preparations.When the Islander with the mustache saw that Harvey didn't plan to attack nor kneel to surrender, he scoffed. "Are you scared? Or are you surrendering? Say something! Otherwise, attack! Do you think you're an ostrich and you can just hide your head in the sand? You ar
As he said that, the Islander switched on his phone and started streaming the event. It was obvious he wanted to see how Harvey was going to react to this.If Harvey agreed to fight ten warriors in one go, then the people he had arranged would swarm him and kill Harvey.If Harvey refused, then he would verbally humiliate Harvey.In other words, he had made full preparations for today.Harvey calmly drank a cup of tea and clapped. Rachel, who was fully prepared, walked from the back of the crowd. She turned on her phone and played a video clip on the TV screen. In the clip, it was obvious that Hale was the one who claimed Harvey could fight ten to one, not Harvey."What? Since when must our representative bear responsibility for something he has never said? If someone said he can fight 100 to 1 suddenly, should he fight a hundred men at the same time?" Rachel said.While fighting ten to one was something simple to Harvey, he wasn't interested in being involved in a plot the Island
Once Harvey was at the Dragon Gate training hall, he narrowed his eyes.A huge crowd was right outside the entrance of the training hall. He counted at least a thousand of them with just a glance.They were all either martial arts elites or mutants. None of them were normal human beings.Of course, these people were mostly here to watch the show.There were also plenty of Islander men and women in their traditional summer garbs. All of them looked quite eager. Harvey could tell from first glance that they were either from Sky Plane or had the right to enter Grand City due to being at the top of the social pyramid in the Island Nation. All of them were filled with anger and resentment after Harvey chided them as weaklings. They were here to try and reclaim their dignity.When Harvey appeared, all of them instantly turned around. The anger within their eyes is apparent."Harvey York! Are you sure you want to go your own way? You're quite brave to challenge the entire Island Natio
"Dominating the Veiled Sanctuary?" Harvey asked Alexei curiously.Alexei scoffed. "Many years ago, a prodigy was born in the Veiled Sanctuary. He was said to be just a servant born into a small family. However, his powers grew exponentially after he accidentally learned martial arts."He became a King of Arms when he was 18, and then a True Warrior at 22. After that, he secretly stole the martial arts techniques from all the schools and mastered them. Finally, when he was 30 years old, he created his own martial art technique that had never appeared in the Veiled Sanctuary—the Technique of Elephants and Dragons."It's said that those trained in this technique can possess the power of ten elephants and ten dragons. They can forcefully tear apart space itself and step into the void, reaching unity between Man and Nature. Unfortunately, he has too little influence in Veiled Sanctuary. He stole too many secrets from the different schools, causing him to offend the higher-ups."In the
