“What do you mean by that?” Akio Yashiro asked calmly.“If you really are as good as your servants say you are, there wouldn’t be a need for you to blow up a cab and get so many gunners to deal with me.“What you should’ve done is to come at me with a sword and cut me down.“But you didn’t.“All of these tricks only mean one thing.“You’re scared!“You’re scared that you’re no match for me!“You’re afraid of being slapped to death!“You’re terrified of ending up the same way as Miyata Shinosuke!”Harvey York squinted while showing a warm smile.“All that preparation is showing your doubt toward your skills!“Another thing. You showed up in Hong Kong so quickly to kill me right after Vince York and I fought?“You wouldn’t be here that quickly even if you literally rode a rocket ship!“The only explanation for this is that you were already here when Miyata arrived.“But you fear me. That’s why you never intended to take action against me from the beginning.“You even plann
“Looks like I have no choice but to take action myself.”Akio Yashiro let out a sigh before showing a cold gaze.He then picked up his cup of tea and said, “Let’s have a toast with tea. Here’s to you being as ignorant as ever.”Harvey York then poured himself a cup of tea.“Here’s to you being oblivious about my true power,” replied Harvey.Murderous intent could be felt exuding from both of them when their eyes locked. After raising their cups slightly, they gulped their tea down in a single go.After seeing Harvey drinking the tea without any hesitation, a playful look was showing on Akio’s face.“You’re brave enough to drink my tea as soon as you come in…“Are you not scared of me poisoning it?”“Didn’t you do that already?” Harvey replied.“You’re only waiting for it to take effect. That’s why you’ve been nagging me this entire time.“It’s a shame that I must disappoint you, Sword Saint.”Harvey fought on the battlefield before. Naturally, he came across all sorts of po
“Your so-called Emperor rules under theocracy, but since ancient times, that title is nothing but that. They’re all just puppets being pulled around the place.“The country’s authority had always been under the Shogunate, the government of the Island Nations.“The puppet is only used to fool the so-called warriors such as yourselves.“Am I right?”Harvey York casually pointed out the most disturbing fact about the Island Nation warriors.The sovereign they serve under already fell out of power many years ago.A hint of anger flashed before Akio Yashiro’s eyes, but he calmed himself down soon after.“Don’t think that you fully understand the history of the Island Nations just because you read a few history books!“The mighty Emperor’s status, power, and glory are beyond what you can even imagine!“Since you dare insult His Majesty, we will end your life right here!“Die!”With Akio’s scream, the eight swordsmen instantly pounced forward.From eight different directions, the
The Islanders greatly admired the culture of Country H…Especially the fact that they would constantly strategize before making the necessary moves.In the Islanders’ eyes, if they wanted the Island Nations to become the greatest, they would have to deal with Country H first.If they could occupy parts of the country, the Island Nations would have a chance to rise again.Harvey York kept ruining their plans in Mordu and Hong Kong…This was the main reason why people like Miyata Shinosuke and Akio Yashiro showed up to deal with him permanently.They were scared of a second Chief Instructor to be born in Country H.Two legendary beings would end up crushing the people of the Island Nations.While Harvey was pondering the situation, the Sons of Raiden took their steps forward at the same time while showing serious looks on their faces.They took steady steps, circling Harvey as if thunder was surging around him.Akio squinted at Harvey.“The Heaven and Earth!” he coldly exclaim
“B*stard!”After seeing Harvey York remain unscathed, the four swordsmen simultaneously pounced forward once again.Harvey casually plucked a shuriken from the ground and flicked it forward. A stream of light surged forward like a bright moon on the sea.Akio Yashiro changed his expression in an instant after seeing the attack.“Gates of Immunity!” he screamed.The swordsmen retreated with their swords in hand before stacking them with each other, guarding the incoming attack flying straight toward them.Their synergy was completely flawless. It was basically impenetrable.Akio’s masterful teachings were quite evident, judging from his students’ performance.Tink tink tink!A barrage of red sparks could be seen as soon as Harvey’s shuriken collided with the longswords…But there was impossible for him to penetrate the defenses of those four swordsmen at this moment.At the same time, the four injured swordsmen immediately swallowed pills that were giving out a heinous stench
A prideful smirk graced Lexie’s arrogant face.She didn’t even want to blink once as she blatantly ridiculed Harvey.In fact, she was afraid to miss out on the moment he got cut down.Akio grinned, delighted, and boasted, “Madam York, don’t forget you and Young Lord York’s promise to me when I kill this clown!”“Enough talk! As long as you deal with him, that diplomatic status is all yours!”“You can do whatever you please in Hong Kong after that.”“With my and Vince’s help, nobody can hold anything against you even if you break the law!”“Now, shut up and stop bothering me from enjoying the show!”Akio smiled, silent. He loved working with people who could sell out their own country for their own sake the most.At the same time, the Sons of Raiden’s strikes had Harvey completely encapsulated.The glares were locked right onto Harvey. He had no chance to dodge anywhere.Yet in the face of this terrifying attack, Harvey only let out a calm chuckle.“You’re pretty impressive
Akio hung up his call with Lexie, his face scrunched in confusion.“Strength like this is almost on par with mine!”“You’re so close to being a peak God of War!”“If that’s not the case, how did you manage to defeat my Sons of Raiden that easily?”Akio sighed, shaking his head.“You’re unpredictable, Harvey. You’re already this powerful even at such a young age! You must be really talented.”“Why don’t you show yourself to the world, then?!”“You’re making it harder for people like us if you keep yourself hidden!”“If we don’t prepare enough, who are we supposed to complain to if we get beaten up by you?!”Akio then flashed Harvey a confident smirk.“Thank goodness I’ve been secluded for so many years in order to study the way to unite man and nature. My swordsmanship has increased exponentially because of that.”“If not, I might not even be a match for you right now!”“It’s a shame, but Country H will definitely lose a God of War this time!”Akio shook his head, feigning
Even though Akio was the Sword Saint of the Shindan Way, The Island Nation God of War, the Imperial Physician, and the master of the unity of man and nature…He was well aware of his own limits.He knew exactly when to give in to the circumstances.He prepared for a lot of plans, and even got his very own disciples, the Sons of Raiden, here.Despite that, they were all sent flying with just a single slap…Under these terrible prospects, Akio would never go against Harvey unless he was truly fearless.That was why, after “righteously” slapping his subordinate across the face and sending the latter flying into the sea, Akio escaped without any hesitation.He was extremely experienced in running away as well. Even though he was in the sea, it didn’t slow him down one bit. In just a blink of an eye, he was already nearing the shore.Harvey then took in the remaining Islanders on the yacht with a calm gaze.All of them were slack with shock and fear, looking as if their beliefs had
