After hearing those words, Harvey York calmly asked, “He worked for The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets?“The eldest princess of their royalty doesn’t even matter to me. Obviously, I couldn’t care less about a subordinate like him taking advantage of his seniority.”Harvey kept walking after he was done talking.Soon, the two had arrived at the hanging garden through the dedicated elevator.The place was nearly six thousand and five hundred square feet, covered in lush plants.A guest room of about two thousand square feet was located in the middle of the garden. Well-known calligraphy and paintings were hung on the walls, while traditional carved golden-silk phoebe wood furniture was arranged all over the room.The entire place had an exquisite and ingenious look to it. It was indeed a rare sight.But at this very moment, the place was a huge mess.Countless priceless couches and coffee tables were smashed to pieces. Shards of cups could be seen scattered all over as well.
“You can’t be disrespectful toward Sir York, Longmen’s branch leader, Carrie Kennedy,” said Elmer Evans.He froze over slightly after seeing Harvey York and Leslie Clarke before recognizing their faces.Even though it was not their first time seeing each other, he had naturally read Harvey’s documents since he was there to support Haider Bauer. At the same time, he knew that the true master had arrived.Elmer showed a warm smile while looking at Harvey.“This man is the legendary Branch Leader York. It’s also said that he’s the prince of South Light or something. He’s quite the character!“A man like him isn’t someone that you mere people from the Law Enforcement of Longmen can challenge!”It seemed like Elmer was reprimanding Carrie, but he was not trying to blame her either. Elmer was talking with a gloomy tone at this moment.He pointed out Harvey’s identity, but he had no intention of respecting him whatsoever.Naturally, for him, the title of some prince of South Light or
Naturally, in Elmer Evans’ eyes, with his appearance and Haider Bauer’s support…Judging from Elmer’s power and background in Hong Kong and Haider’s authority, it would be as easy as squashing an ant if they wanted to kill off Harvey York.But no matter what, it was imperative that they finish up business first. This was most important.Leslie Clarke smiled after hearing those words.“That’s true. You two asked us to invite him here. You can’t just waste this opportunity by fighting each other, right?“How about we talk business first?”Haider’s rage seemed to have quelled a bit after a while.Then, he squinted at Harvey and pointed at him at that moment.“You’re lucky, Kid! You better thank Elder Evans and the Clarke family for stopping me…“If not, I would’ve slapped an arrogant young man like you to death!“Hundreds of pompous young people like you have died in the hands of my Thunderclap these years!”Haider then showed his dark right hand with a proud look.“Alright. E
“I also know full well that Maki Takei could’ve killed you, but you used the Longmen’s name to suppress him before you snuck up on him while he wasn’t paying attention to you!“You’re shameless, Harvey York! Where are your morals?!Haider Bauer furiously pointed at Harvey.Harvey froze after hearing those words before looking at Carrie Kennedy with full interest.Before looking away, Carrie and the disciples behind her showed gleeful gazes toward Harvey. Nobody dared even to look him in the eye at that moment.Obviously, Carrie lied about the truth for Haider to show up.She never said that Harvey took down the entire Takei family with just a swing of his sword.She never mentioned anything about Harvey killing off a dozen of their men with just a single kick, Maki included…But she did find an excuse saying that Harvey used Longmen’s name to suppress the family.If Haider was not told that, he might have been too afraid to show up, knowing that Harvey was the one who killed o
Before long, Haider Bauer made a gesture, and then his subordinates stepped forward. With the sounds of metal scraping, the subordinates unsheathed their swords while glaring at Harvey York furiously.Leslie Clarke’s expression immediately worsened after seeing the sight.“Vice Head Bauer, nobody can take away my badge since it’s passed down to me by the master of Longmen himself,” reasoned Harvey calmly.“Besides, do you really think that I should just apologize to them?“What right do they even have for me to do such a thing?”“What? You think you’re some hot shot or something?”Haider’s face darkened.“Let me tell you something, Harvey. I’m already being respectful to the master of Longmen by not breaking your legs and throwing you straight to the Island Nations!“So, stop pushing your luck!“Maybe I have a better temper now that I’m old. If I were younger, I would’ve taken your head and your family’s life by now!”Haider was boiling with anger at this very moment, as if h
Haider Bauer kept struggling while he was forced to the ground. The palm and footprint marks were overlaid on his face, making him seem utterly wretched and miserable.He tried to wiggle out, but Harvey York’s feet kept him nailed to the ground. He could only tremble powerlessly at this moment.A lot of people rubbed their eyes filled with disbelief. Some even slapped themselves in the face to make sure they were not dreaming.The Law Enforcement of Longmen’s disciples became utterly sluggish.Nobody expected Harvey would be this fearless.It was already bad enough that Harvey slapped Haider in the face, but he even stepped on it at this moment. This action alone showed utter disrespect.Not only did Harvey disrespect Longmen’s Elder Group, but this was also a mockery toward the entire Bauer family.Elmer Evans came back to his senses while everyone else was still in shock.“What are you doing, Harvey?!” he screamed furiously.“How dare you?!“The audacity!“Bastard! How dar
“You…”Haider Bauer wanted Harvey York dead so badly, but the constant sharp pain had made him completely delirious. He was filled with utter anguish at that moment…He was the Law Enforcement of Longmen’s vice head and a member of the Bauer family.He was always superior whether he was in Flutwell or Longmen. Countless people would always indulge and respect him wherever he went.He believed that he would be able to use the power of his two identities to do whatever he pleased no matter where he went.He did not think he would bump into some reckless man who dared to disrespect him while making him suffer.Haider’s reputation and dignity were constantly being trampled on. At that time, he wished he had died so badly.He would not dare to challenge Harvey anymore. He was afraid that Harvey would not stop torturing him.“Looks like someone got a little clever. I’m sure you know what you can and cannot say at this point.”After seeing Haider’s resentful look, Harvey then kicked
Elmer Evans struggled back up while catching his breath before glaring at Harvey York and Leslie Clarke.“Just you wait, Leslie! You’ll regret this decision!” exclaimed Elmer while gritting his teeth.He then pointed toward the sky.“I’ll bring Hong Kong’s first-in-command down and make you regret everything you’ve done today!“I am the previous governor here! I have the power!“When I report this to the royalty of The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets, you’ll be finished!”Leslie chuckled without giving a reply.“The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets?“We’ll be finished, you say?”Harvey slowly walked toward Elmer while blatantly showing a playful look on his face.“Give them a call then. Ask them if they dare to meddle in our affairs here!“We, the people from Country H, are standing on top of the world, yet here you are living in their shadows!“You’re telling me that people like you can even become governors?“What a joke!“You’re just someone else’s dog from start to
"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
