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
After seeing Vince leave, Carol circled around Harvey while chuckling with her arms crossed.“Did you learn your lesson today, Sir York?”“Do you understand now that you shouldn’t just stand up for anyone in a place like Hong Kong or Las Vegas?”“Have you thought about the consequences?”Carol had an arrogant look on her face then.She didn’t think that there would be a light at the end of the tunnel.She thought that she would be completely dominated by Harvey and disrespected by the Hamilton family then.But she didn’t know that Vince would pay this much respect toward her and Naoto.It was safe to say that the outsider, Harvey, was just really unlucky. He could’ve survived if he only bumped into Carol…But he had gotten involved with Vince instead.Even though Carol couldn’t see how Harvey posed a threat to Vince...She was a smart woman, so she could tell by Vince’s attitude…That he wanted Harvey dead!Since Vince wanted this, Carol was more than happy to oblige.Des
"Power level? I really don't know," Harvey whispered into Mark's ears. "All I know is that I’m invincible in this world. Maybe I'll find a worthy opponent in the future, but don't worry. That person won't be from Sky Plane or the Island Nation. That's why all of you will forever carry the title 'weaklings'."Mark was not angered at all, but he was simply numb. After a long while, he muttered, "If you're invincible, you're already halfway uniting between Man and Nature… How's that even possible? Why would someone like this appear in Country H? We have worked so hard for so long and still haven't had someone at that level. Why?"Harvey casually replied, "That's because you're all too ambitious but weak. You didn't properly cultivate yourselves; instead, all of you are trying to find shortcuts. Unfortunately, when it comes to martial arts, you must do it step by step. That's why you'll never have the chance to claim your victory over us!"After that, Harvey kicked Mark to the ground an
No one saw what had happened exactly in that instant. Once the dust had settled, they finally saw Mark, on his knee on the ground. There were cracks with web-like patterns right where he was, which were still expanding.Not only did a simple attack from Harvey break through Mark's Black Hands, but it was enough to make him lose the will to fight back.One attack…That was an instant victory.Mark's body was shuddering as his breathing became heavier. Everyone there could hear it. Despair was written all over his face. Obviously, he could not understand how Harvey defeated him in just one attack.Meanwhile, Harvey pulled out a paper towel and started wiping his fingers, as if he had touched something disgusting. What he did was extremely humiliating, and Mark could only stare at Harvey as he gritted his teeth.How?How did he manage to nullify the Origin Fist's ultimate technique with just one punch?That did not make sense at all.Could the Island Nation's and Sky Plane's mart
However, as more time passed, Joven managed to figure out what had happened in the end since he had some talents. It was not Mark showing Harvey mercy; but Harvey was simply too fast. He managed to dodge Mark's decisive attacks every time."What's the meaning of this, Harvey? You're the representative of the Country H Martial Arts Alliance! But all you do is run around when you fight with others. You've completely humiliated us!" scolded Joven as he was instantly angered."I'm warning you! When you face someone like Mark, you should face him directly and not depend on such tricks! Everything you do right now is a humiliation to martial arts! Not only are you wasting everyone's time, but most importantly, you're dishonoring the entire Country H Martial Arts Alliance!"In other words, you are not allowed to dodge! You must fight him head-on!"Joven was furious at this time. In his understanding, Mark should have slapped Harvey away in one strike because only that would be able to sho
"Mr. Mark! I know you care about the relationship between Grand City and Sky Plane! I know you're showing Harvey mercy despite being capable of killing him on the spot for Grand City's sake!" exclaimed Joven."I will inform the Seven Families about this! We all understand what it means to repay your kindness, so don't worry! Once you're done with Harvey, we will explain to Sky Plane! I swear in the name of the Peacekeeping Agency, from now on, no one in Grand City will dare to show disrespect to the great Sky Plane!"All the members of the Peacekeeping Agency looked at Joven, as if that was the truth of what had happened. Especially the two sexy women. Initially, they were quite shocked. But now, the only expression on their faces was disdain.In the beginning, they thought Harvey had some talents. But from the looks of it, Harvey was simply all bark and no bite. He had no power at all, but he merely pretended to be beyond reproach. Did he not know how to gauge his own power? If it
But to Mark, only if Harvey was strong enough would he be worthy of his time. That was why he did not mind much and simply pursued Harvey into the inner courtyard. His fist instantly extended toward where Harvey was. His attack was extremely sharp and powerful.Each of Mark's attacks gave an indescribable overwhelming presence. If any of his attacks landed, it might actually severely injure Harvey.When the two women next to Joven saw this attack, they clapped their hands and cheered for Mark, unable to hide their excitement. They would probably even wave flags to cheer for him if it was not because they were still mindful of what would happen.Harvey showed a calm expression and simply took a few steps back. Every step he took, he would avoid one of Mark's attacks. But as everyone else saw it, Mark was making advances while Harvey was retreating, as if he was at a disadvantage.Whoosh!When Mark saw that all his attacks had missed, his expression became even colder, and his attac
"What?!" Besides Harvey, Vaida, and Rachel, everyone else who heard the name Mark Duane shuddered.The short-haired woman was filled with terror. "Mark is here to hold us accountable? What… What should we do? What the hell should we do now?!"All the other members of the Peacekeeping Agency had anxious expressions. Joven looked at Harvey icily and said, "Originally, I wanted to keep you alive and give you a chance to change. But look at what you did. Did you value the opportunity I gave you? I'm telling you right now that even I have no choice but to show respect to Mark. Before him, you don't even have the right to stand."Now that he's here to find you, I no longer have the right to do anything to you. Because it's obvious he's here for you!"The short-haired woman covered her mouth and viciously cackled when she heard what Joven had to say. Obviously, she believed Harvey was going to die now… And he was most likely going to die a horrible death.Harvey did not care about Joven,
"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
