“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
Cries of pain could be heard then. Naoto’s entire body was twitching as white foam seeped out of his mouth. He seemed like he was in deep pain, as if someone had stabbed him through the heart.The arrogant, heinous, and brutal Naoto was in agony.He could only scream and tremble using the last of his strength. He couldn’t even beg for mercy.A sight like this was way worse than death.“Young Master Takei!”“What’s going on here?!”“Does that kid know witchcraft?!”Carol and the Islanders were frightened stiff after seeing Naoto’s state.Harvey only snapped his fingers before Naoto even fell to the ground.Was it merely a coincidence? Or was Harvey really that powerful?The discreet Elder of the Shinkage Way showed a horrible look on his face as if he thought of something. He then rushed toward Naoto and covered up his chest with his right hand.That person’s name was Ryuichi Furuta. He was an Outer Elder of the Shinkage Way, and Naoto’s personal bodyguard.He was also quite
Ryuichi had already used up all of his tricks, but none proved to be useful.White foam had completely stopped seeping out of Naoto’s mouth. He didn’t even have the strength to shiver any longer. His breathing slowed down exponentially then.It seemed like he was on the verge of death.Carol was terrified. If the people of the Shinkage Way were to lash out because of Naoto’s death, Carol wouldn't be able to handle the consequences.Without a second thought, Carol bit the bullet despite her fear of Harvey.“I’ll give you exactly one minute! Cure Young Master Takei right now!”“If not, I’ll rip you to shreds!”“Oh really? I’d like to see how you’ll do that!”Harvey snapped his fingers once again.Naoto’s stiff body wriggled around violently after hearing the snap. His eyes popped out while blood seeped out of his orifices. He had a look of anguish on his face, as if he was going to stop breathing at any moment.Carol was horrified. She tried to threaten Harvey, but she wouldn’t
Who was Ryuichi Furuta?He was the Outer Elder of the Shinkage Way, and a legendary peak King of Arms. He was on the verge of becoming a God of War himself.But Edwin was just a rich playboy of the Mendoza family! Even Carol knew this.How did someone like that defeat a peak King of Arms in just a single move?Before the others even came back to their senses, Edwin calmly walked forward before swinging his sword once again, ready to cut anything blocking in his path in half.There were no fancy tricks involved in this cut, only speed.Just like how Harvey had taught him, no martial art was impenetrable, and only speed was the only way for long success.Ryuichi’s expression turned frantic. He tried to raise his sword and defend himself against Edwin’s cut.Clang!Ryuichi’s expression became worse immediately after the blades clashed.He took another few steps back before regaining his balance in front of Naoto.Everyone could see that blood was seeping out between Ryuichi’s f
Boom!Ryuichi Furuta fell to his knees. His whole body went stiff, and his entire vitality disappeared at that instant.He was the Outer Elder of Shinkage Way, and was also a master of the level of a King of Arms. Despite that, he was still beaten by a young man from the great Country H with just two to three moves. He was baffled. How could this be?His heart was suffocating from his refusal to accept the reality of the situation. He couldn’t believe it! Yet, the truth was laid bare. Regardless of how unwilling he was, he couldn’t change it.The entire crowd was in pin drop silence. Everyone watched in shock as Edwin withdrew his sword, looking apathetic and indifferent.Several Islanders even slapped their own faces twice so as to convince themselves that they were not dreaming.The great and mighty Ryuichi was actually ruined by a young man from the great Country H!Vince’s eyelids twitched slightly from the incredulity of it all. He was a master of the level of God of War, s
An instant kill!These so-called Briewood elites were useless in front of Edwin.Even the elites of Dragon Palace branch, who remained indifferent the entire time, had no chance to pull out their firearms. Everything was over in a flash.Carol’s pretty face morphed into a startled look. She was suddenly struck with the urge to leave the place immediately.“My Lady, you haven’t killed me yet. Are you leaving now?”“Wouldn’t that be rude?”“This is my turf you’re at. Do you think you can come and go as you please?”With just one step, Harvey was at Carol’s side. He stretched out his hand and gave her two derogatory pats on both sides of her face. Carol’s body stiffened, as if she was suddenly being restrained by something. She wanted to step back, but realized that she couldn’t move at all. She could only grit her teeth and snarled fiercely, “What do you want?”“Try to hit me if you dare!”As she said this, the remaining Briewood elites wanted to go to her side and protect her
"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
