“Harvey?!”The Islanders immediately came to their senses after hearing that name.‘He’s the one that killed Naoto?!’The Islanders kneeling on the ground all sprung up before surrounding Harvey with longswords unsheathed from their waists. At that moment, the blades were all aimed at his throat.“Harvey York!”Makoto walked up steadily while glaring at Harvey coldly.“You killed my brother! How dare you crash into my brother’s mourning hall!? Not only did you ram into my men, but you also humiliated my father! You will pay with your life! You think us mighty Islanders are just cowards?! Toby Clarke himself won’t even dare do anything if I were to slice you in half!”Makoto was boiling with anger. He never thought that Harvey would just show up on his own like that. This was truly humiliating for him. At this point, Harvey was plainly disrespecting the Islanders.The Islanders screamed furiously, feeling disgraced. They wanted to chop Harvey into pieces badly.“You’ve crossed
“Bullsh*t!”Carol took a step forward after sensing Makoto’s suspicions being redirected to her.“Don’t try to spout nonsense here, Harvey! Everyone knows that you joined forces with the Clarke family! Toby’s the first-in-command of Hong Kong! How hard could it be for him to fake a video? Let me tell you something. Your so-called evidence will not blind Mr. Takei’s eyes! Why don’t you ask Ms. Takei if she truly believes everything she sees? Why would the Briewood Gang even lie to our important guests in a situation like this?”After hearing Carol’s speech, Makoto shifted his gaze toward Rumiko, who didn’t say a word since the beginning.“I don’t know how you managed to coerce Rumiko, Harvey,” Makoto hissed. “But the Takei family and the Shinkage Way aren’t that easy to fool!”He looked rather proud of himself as he spoke.“If you want to prove your innocence, you’ll have to give us indisputable proof! We won’t believe some edited footage from your side! If you can’t show any proo
After hearing Makoto’s words, Rumiko froze.“I got it!” she exclaimed in a trembling voice. “The reason why Harvey made me watch the footages and took me here is to wash his hands off the crimes he committed! Lady Walker has already told us the truth! Harvey is the murderer!”Naturally, Rumiko detected the Shinkage Way’s opportunity to invade Hong Kong when the land of the outer ring was mentioned.Under these circumstances, was the truth really that important? Clearly, Makoto was trying to convey that message to Rumiko.Harvey narrowed his eyes at Rumiko, who remained laying on the ground.“Ms. Takei, are you sure you want to go against your conscience like that? Do you really want to make me the scapegoat?”Rumiko remained silent. Makoto took a deep breath, his eyes already sparkling. He took a step forward and glared at Harvey coldly.“She’s not going against her own conscience, and you’re most definitely not the scapegoat! You did this! Since you’re the murderer, you must pa
‘Did he just call us mutts? He thinks we’re unreasonable?! He claims that he wants to kill all of us?!’Harvey’s icy words were enough to drive the Islanders crazy.The man in front of them was completely surrounded. He was a fish in a barrel! How dare he act arrogantly and domineeringly while spouting shameless nonsense? Was he that eager to die?The intimidating attitude surprised everyone as if they were the ones being surrounded. An Islander warrior even slapped himself in the face to make sure he wasn’t dreaming.A few women in yukatas sized up Harvey as if they were looking at a clown. They had followed the Takei family in their conquest for so many years, but it was rare to meet a stupidly arrogant man like Harvey in the flesh.Makoto was on the verge of losing his mind. He was quite the character. His younger brother died, whereas his younger sister was crippled. Under these circumstances, he still had his eyes on the target regardless of the truth.Makoto gritted his tee
Before Harvey could act, the back door of Toyota Prado was opened. Edwin, who had been prepared for a long time, came out.The long sword in his hands was already unsheathed. He swung it instantly the moment he came out.Shing!The blade glinted as it slashed its targets. Three Islander warriors closest to Harvey clutched their throats and slumped to the ground in disbelief in the next second.Edwin didn’t bother sparing them a look. Instead, he took a step forward and continued slashing around him.One warrior would go down under each slash. In the blink of an eye, Edwin had already downed several Islander warriors in a row.“Is that man on the level of King of Arms?”Makoto was stunned for a moment. He knew what happened on the night before, so he immediately recognized Edwin as the King of Arms who protected Harvey.Meanwhile, Carol gritted her teeth angrily. She never thought that Edwin would come out to protect Harvey at this critical moment.Did the Mendoza family really
Carol might look furious, but she couldn’t stop the trembling in her right hand. In the end, she didn’t dare to give more orders to her men. The woman refused to admit that Harvey had intimidated her, but the fact that her right hand was still trembling betrayed her real feelings.“You’re too slow. Move faster. You act as if you haven’t eaten at all tonight.”Ignoring Carol, Harvey looked at the battlefield once more and started instructing Edwin on what to do next.Swish, swish, swish!Meanwhile, the battle between the two parties intensified. Edwin accidentally received a cut on his left hand. A dozen of Islander warriors took this opportunity to attack. Their longswords streaked everywhere like a meteor shower. The cold glints of their blades and the brimming killing intent filled the battlefield as they surrounded Edwin like a deadly formation.A sneer appeared on Carol’s face when she saw this scene. Makoto had a cruel smile playing on his lips. Rumiko, who remained on the gr
Carol was about to aim her firearm at Harvey when Makoto was slapped to the ground. She withdrew the weapon shakily immediately after that.She originally thought that Edwin was the reason behind Harvey’s confidence. However, all she could feel at that moment was despair. Makoto held his face gingerly, feeling his cheek smarting with pain. His pride, self-esteem, and the Bushido spirit were wounded from the slap as well.Harvey took out a tissue and carefully wiped his fingers. “You just can’t,” he concluded lightly.Those three words crippled Makoto once and for all, who slumped back onto the ground. He had underestimated Harvey’s strength before meeting him, and felt that he could still crush him even if he was protected by a King of Arms. It was only now that he realized that Harvey could down him with just one slap.The Shinkage Way, the Takei family, and other combat experts… They were nothing in front of Harvey’s slap.Even on the verge of having a breakdown, Makoto stil
The rest of the Takei family might not know Harvey well, but Maki thought he had a good sense of who Harvey was.For instance, Harvey was the branch leader of Longmen, who had defeated the Shinkage Way back in Mordu. Back then, none of the Shinkage Way members in Mordu had achieved the level of the God of War. Thus, Maki thought that Harvey wasn’t powerful enough to earn his respect.That was why the elderly man looked nonchalant when Harvey slapped Makoto and treated him like a mutt. Instead of losing his temper, he forced himself to calm downMeanwhile, Harvey looked at Maki with great interest. He wasn’t intimidated by Chief Takei at all. In fact, he was slightly curious about him.Maki was just a King of Arms at the end of the day. Harvey wondered who on earth gave him the courage to stir up chaos on Country H’s soil.“Young man, this matter ends here today! I’ve already known about Naoto’s incident. I’ll have the embassy of the Island Nation to cooperate with the Hong Kong an
"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
