The meal was not particularly delightful.Irene Johnson took a few bites before paying the bills and leaving.Harvey York did not want to stop her either. He knew that she had a situation to report.Inside the Longmen Budokan of Hong Kong and Las Vegas.Morgan Johnson was sitting on the futon while taking deep mindful breaths as he listened to Irene’s explanation about the entire situation.When she was about to finish, Morgan opened his eyes slightly before asking, “Did you hear that correctly? Harvey wanted Vince York and his entire family to show up?”Irene thought about what happened, then quietly replied, “That’s right. He did say so.”“That’s interesting!” Morgan muttered to himself.“He was so sure that Kaitlyn Parson wouldn’t dare call anyone…“Does he have any plans for himself? Or does he not even care if the Yorks of Hong Kong shows up in front of him?”Morgan frowned. Either way, one thing was clear…Harvey was not scared of anyone in Hong Kong and Las Vegas.Ir
Behind Kaitlyn Parson, Ellis Parson, one of the Four Masters of Hong Kong, was sipping his cappuccino with a calm look on his face.When Kaitlyn was about done with her rage, he then reasoned with Kaitlyn, “Say, why are you this angry? There’s no need to be this agitated about these trivial things.“Just think about it. Carol Parker, Queenie York, Carrie Kennedy, and others suffered losses going against him.“Since you wanted to get involved, it’s normal for you to suffer the same, right?“If you want someone to blame, blame yourself for provoking him in the first place. Just get others to go in your stead!“I told you already. The Parson family isn’t about killing. That’s the Briewood Gang’s job.“We need to use our brains here.”Bang!Kaitlyn slapped Ellis’ cup to the ground with a twisted look on her face.“Does it look like I have a choice?!“Young Lord York himself already has a negative opinion about me! The Emerald House is our property too! Who’s going to show up if n
Ellis Parson reached out and patted Kaitlyn Parson’s face after seeing the slight change in her expression.“My dear sister, it’s time to bring this old dog back into Hong Kong,” said Ellis calmly.“If he wins, we’ll regain our reputation!“But if he dies, you’ll have one less trouble to worry about!“No matter what happens, we’ll still benefit from it. Am I wrong?”Kaitlyn’s expression slightly changed.“Are you trying to go against Young Lord…”“Shhhh!”Ellis put a finger in front of his mouth with a cold expression.“Vince York has no right to suppress the Four Masters of Hong Kong.“He already got the Fourth Master dead and replaced him with Quinton York.“If Matthew Flynn and I continued fooling around, we would’ve been replaced by now!”“So, Louis Castro…” Kaitlyn said.Ellis immediately cut her off.“If Louis can win your dignity back, it means he has the right to stand beside us.“But if not, then he’s just some pawn for us to use!“I can only go against Vince i
“I’m at the parking lot of the Marine Park!”Rupert Howell’s voice was filled with deep fear.“I’m hiding behind a container… They’re still looking for me. I don’t want to move around too much…“Ms. Johnson’s been taken away!“You need to come quickly…”“Right. Wait for me. I’ll be right there.”Harvey York hastily stood up.After throwing a few paper bills to the waiter, Harvey called a cab and swiftly headed to the Hong Kong Marine Park.Not long after Harvey left, a shadow walked out of the street and pulled out a walkie-talkie.“The target fell for our trap…”***Around ten minutes later, Harvey arrived at the Marine Park. After paying the fare, he went down the escalator.Soon after, Harvey came to a corner of the park.A few strong, suited men were all dangling their cigars from their mouths while forcing a man into a corner…The suited men were beating up the man with things like steel pipes and baseball bats. Screams of pain could be heard moments after.Not far
Around eight burly men turned around and furiously glared at Harvey York after hearing someone calling them out behind their backs.The woman dressed in a gown coldly chuckled with a pleased look on her face.She seemed pretty satisfied with Harvey’s appearance at this moment.“You bastard! Don’t you know we’re filming here?!”The strong man leading the group squinted at Harvey before he coldly laughed.“Get out of here already!“And forget whatever you saw today!“If not, I’ll make you one of the main characters too!”“I’m sorry. I can’t just leave right now.”Harvey chuckled.“The man you beat up is acquainted with me. Since he’s asking me for help, I can’t just ditch him and leave, right?“For my sake, why don’t you let him go?”Harvey showed a smile.The strong man froze slightly after hearing Harvey’s words, then burst into laughter.“You must have a death wish or something, Kid!“Do you know who we are?!“You’re asking us to respect you?!“You think you have the
“Fine. I can let him go.”Harvey York smiled before throwing the strong man to the ground.The moment the man slammed to the ground, his throat became sore, and his eyes blacked out. Utter despair could be seen on his face at that time.At the same time, blood could be seen spurting out of his mouth. It was a horrible sight.He tried to gasp for air, but he could not as if someone was choking him.The strong man fainted on the ground, filled with shock and resentment. He could not believe that Harvey would actually do something like this to him.Bang!Harvey kicked the man toward the woman in a gown and said, “I let him go. Satisfied?”Rupert Howell could not help but let out a smirk after seeing what had happened.This was precisely what he wanted.“All together!”The other strong men looked at each other before screaming their hearts out while running toward Harvey.Their boss was taken out. If they did not deal with Harvey, their end would be worse than death.Slap slap
After dealing with the matter, Harvey York then gave Edwin Mendoza a call so he could clean up the mess at the Marine Park.Harvey wanted to call Leslie Clarke, but he stopped after thinking that it was quite inappropriate for a woman to handle these things.Not long after, Rupert Howell was sent to a nearby hospital for his treatment.Edwin stood behind Harvey with a frown on his face. Naturally, he recognized Rina French, who was unconscious at this moment.“What? Is there a problem?” Harvey asked after seeing the troubled look on Edwin’s face.Edwin nodded.“There might be, yes. This woman’s from the Emerald Club.“The Emerald Club is one of the top four families of Hong Kong, the Parson family’s territory.“You provoked Kaitlyn Parson before this, and now the Emerald Club. I’m sure they won’t let you off the hook that easily at this point…”“The Parson family?” Harvey burst out laughing.“Are you sure that I’m the one who provoked them and not the other way around?”Ed
To completely squash the problem, Edwin Mendoza decided on his own and brought Leslie Clarke with them.Clearly, he knew that he did not have that much influence in Hong Kong. With Leslie, the three would likely have the strength to suppress the enemy, maybe even make his words carry more weight.As for Harvey York, he had a change of clothes and looked just like a bodyguard escorting them. He was completely inconspicuous at that moment.The convoy arrived at the Emerald Club soon after.The place was located around Edgeworth territory. Every single inch of the land was worth gold, and the building had quite the rustic feel to it.The Emerald Club occupied a very large area in the city center, but it was still well proportioned. Truly a scenic view.This was one of the favorite places for the rich and powerful people to hang out. Safe to say that there had been no people below standard who showed up here.Other than those people, there were many well-known beauties that looked l
There was only disdain in Harvey's eyes as he looked at the islanders. "I'm one of the best fighters in this generation. Your sword saints, Akio and Shinosuke, I've defeated all of them in one strike. I'm not afraid of them. Do you think I'm going to be afraid of you? All five of you should know that the Shinto Way's bloody wedding was all thanks to me, right? With so many battles before me, where did you get the idea and courage to believe that you can defeat me?" Harvey's words were calm, but his disdain was obvious.Normally, the Islanders would be enraged after hearing that. However, these five didn't even react to it. The Metal Ninja King that led them was especially calm. With a snort, he said, "I acknowledge that you're very strong, to the point that all six schools had been completely defeated. Quite a few people are by their inner demons the moment they hear your name."The problem is, do you think that the people from the six schools could represent the best of us? To
Harvey smiled and said calmly, "There's no need to apologize. Let's deal with these five before continuing our conversation."Geoffrey's smile widened. It was obvious that Harvey was pleased with how he dealt with the Islanders.Meanwhile, the expressions of the Five Elemental Kings darkened even more when they saw how Harvey and Geoffrey were chatting leisurely while ignoring them.The Metal Ninja King took a deep breath and said in a dark voice, "I never expected that despite so many, you still don't know your place, Geoffrey. Now that we Five Elemental Kings have appeared, it means you're going to die here today. You better consider if you should just surrender. Because if you do, at the very least we'll make sure you die in one piece. Or you can choose to fight until the end, until not even a bit of you is left…"As soon as the Metal Ninja King finished his speech, the other four Ninja Kings all drew out their longswords, the murderous intent in their eyes clear.Geoffrey nodd
When Harvey saw the throwing dagger, he frowned. "Ninjas from the Island Nation…?"Whoosh!At the same time, deafening booms filled the air. Suddenly, five ninjas in differently-colored uniforms appeared. They wore monster-shaped masks, looking vicious and terrifying.The moment they appeared, Geoffrey was bewildered."The five elemental kings of the Sky Plane?" he exclaimed. "The Sky Plane? Isn't there where the Island Nation said their gods reside? Does such a place really exist in reality?" Harvey asked. Even if Harvey himself was shocked at how terrifying the five ninjas were, he was still in the mood for gossiping."In our country, we have the Grand City, a place far above your world. The Island Nation had a similar place. The Island Nation called it the Sky Plane. Those who lived in the Sky Plane were just ancient beings who had reached the end of the Martial Path in Island Nation."Grand City and Country H's relationship isn't that good. Sometimes, Grand City would e
Harvey pretended not to understand Geoffrey's warning and just smiled. "Right. I wonder if you have anything else you want to tell me?"Seeing that Harvey was changing the topics, Geoffrey knew that Harvey didn't pay attention to his implied warning. He sighed in regret. All the young men nowadays were so prideful. When he finally encountered someone who seemed skilful, the man was in the end just more of the same.Originally, Geoffrey didn't want to talk with Harvey anymore. After Harvey asked him that question, Geoffrey hesitated for a while. Then, he treated it as a final gamble and gave a reply."Fine. Since I'm here anyway, I'll tell you about this too. There's another thing I want you to help me with, and that is to see if there is any Island Nation curse within me. I believe you must have heard a little about me in the past few days, so I'll make this short."After that battle, my lungs were injured. After a decade's worth of healing, I've managed to completely suppress
"Tell me, then," Harvey said without missing a beat."Firstly, I want to once again apologize to you on behalf of Grand City for the damage to your reputation," Geoffrey said sincerely. "After what's happened, the Grand City will make adjustments so this won't happen again."Harvey smiled. "There's no need to apologize. I don't really care whether you make any adjustments after this."But what Harvey didn't mention was that once he had the time, he would personally make those adjustments himself."Regardless, all of this was our fault. I've already warned them. If they get into trouble with you again without any reasons, then there's no need for you to do anything. I'll personally break their legs," Geoffrey said earnestly."Secondly, I want to thank you. Durandal is a junior I have high hopes for. I have spent a lot of effort on him. Because you have the power to overturn decisions, it's the reason I can openly continue the investigation as well. I hope one day, we can finally fi
When Harvey heard Mandy mention the word merciful, he sensed something was wrong. But something like this wasn't so easy to explain. Just when Harvey was going to change the subject, the screen for the security cameras in the living room showed a black Lincoln Extended. The windows for the back seats weren't rolled up, revealing the face of someone especially old.When Harvey saw that face, he was stunned and stood up. "Mandy, rest here. I'll be back soon.And then, he was already at the entrance of the estate. He quickly waved his hand, telling Rachel's men to step back for now. Then, he walked over to the window and said with a smile, "Long time no see, Mr. Geoffrey. You look as good as ever."As soon as Harvey said that, the door opened. Eight middle-aged men wearing robes slowly got out and spread to four corners. After that, an old man got out. His breathing was a little ragged, and anyone could tell that his lungs must have suffered some injuries in the past. Even then,
Mandy whispered, "If that's the case, you'll officially intervene in everything that has to do with Grand City. They have too many resources and too much power… I'm very worried if an outsider would suddenly intervene…"Harvey patted Mandy's head and said calmly, "Don't worry. In truth, from the moment I became the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance, it's already fated for everything to end like this. Even if what happened today didn't happen, something else will. Since it's only a matter of time, other than to deal with them as they come, the best way to deal with this is to be on the offensive."It's fine. You don't have to worry too much. With my personality, even if I really do take over Grand City's three halls, I'll simply find someone else to take over for me and stay behind the scenes. If I do that, as long as Grand City knows what to do and not make an enemy of me, it's going to be a happy ending for everyone involved, right?"Mandy said nothing after that, and cha
Not only was Geoffrey the leader of the Universal Sect, but he was also one of the Seven Predecessors of Grand City. For him to be able to join this joint trial, it proved that he had a lot of power and could decide plenty of things. When Geoffrey saw Samuel dumping the biggest trouble on him, he took a deep breath. A faint smile appeared on his old and wrinkled face.He looked at Harvey, who was enjoying the show thus far, and said, "Mr. Harvey, everyone here is demanding that I pass on to you all the power and organizations we have beyond Grand City. Are you interested in them? Allow me to introduce them to you. Outside of Grand City, we have three halls. Heaven, Earth, and Purgatory. They manage everything that is related to the Grand City outside of the city itself. Once you have these powers, you can never be separated from us…""I want it." Harvey didn't even finish for Geoffrey to finish and agreed to it. "As per the bet, I want all the authority. I will give Grand City seve
"Currently, Country H is a country ruled by law. It's no longer a country that is ruled by an emperor. In this era, even the ruler could be judged by the same laws as the commoners. It's an era when the law's justice must be preserved at all costs. If Grand City frames Mr. Harvey, then they can frame someone else next time. In order to prevent something like this from happening, it's time to rectify Grand City's status and special rights."Jesse and Specter were among the best of the young generations within the Four Pillars. While their words couldn't represent the current leaders of the Four Pillars, they represented the voices of the younger generation.And from how Samuel and Lexie said nothing, their silence also represented their attitude in certain circumstances. In this case, all Four Pillars wanted to remove Grand City's special privileges.Harvey narrowed his eyes when he saw this. He knew someone else was pulling the strings. Earlier, he thought it was either Dan, Emery,
