“Noble princess, I came here because I’ve been personally requested by the duke.“Since the royal family’s reputation was involved, the royal family’s crest was handed to me to handle the situation! Having the family crest is the same as seeing the duke himself!”The duke was The Empire’s head of the ministry of internal affairs and was the equivalent of being the queen’s steward. His status was quite immense, and his words held enormous weight.His status within The Empire was a lot greater compared to the prime minister.Even the fourth princess could not help but gasp after hearing those words. At this moment, the fourth princess knew that Marquis Dunkirk had come to visit for a pretty dire situation.She kept on thinking about why he would come at such a crucial time. Maybe Country H had already sent a letter to The Empire to force them to give up the person who orchestrated Mordu’s incident.Without a second thought, the fourth princess said, “Marquis Dunkirk, if you’re worr
“You’re the one who gave these photos so you can screw with me, right?!”Harvey York chuckled.“That’s right. How are the angles? You like them?”“You’re naive! Even if the scandal’s exposed, you’ll only tarnish my name at most!“There’s nothing you can even do to hurt me!“You’re an adult, Harvey! You’re an upperclassman! Don’t you think you’re being a little ridiculous doing something like this?”The fourth princess coldly chuckled.Harvey seemed powerless to her at this moment. She already took action against his wife…But, not only did he not take his revenge, all he did was release some stupid scandal!This was just shameless!“Hurt you? Why should I? Are you even worthy?”Harvey calmly smiled.“Besides, what’s the point of killing you off anyway?“I might just go against The Empire’s entire royal family if I do something like that.“Victoria will probably come for me to settle the score.“That’s why I have no intention to touch you.“But, I feel pretty agitated if
The fourth princess immediately calmed down after seeing Marquis Dunkirk leave.She knew full well…That she had no choice other than to kill off Vince York.If not, Harvey York would definitely not let her off the hook.She had no choice other than to accept her fate.Without a second thought, the fourth princess took a deep breath and waved her hand at the secretary, who was slapped in the face.“Send word to Harvey. Tell him to let Jason Leo and the others go.“I’ll give him a fair statement.“I do hope to God that he keeps his word…”***Las Vegas, at the Mordu Casino-Palace.Harvey was in the study, looking at the mess sitting on the table.Queenie York walked in with a warm smile at this moment.“The fourth princess sent word, telling us to let go of the people you’re holding hostage and the elites my father took down.“She said she’s going to do as you said.“And that she hopes that you keep your end of the bargain.”Harvey chuckled.“Looks like our dear fourth
“Did that b*stard really say that?“He won’t let them go?!”The fourth princess held her porcelain teacup tightly, trying her best not to smash it on the ground.“That’s right,” said the secretary cautiously.“What should we do now, Fourth Princess? Should we round up our forces?“It’s already way past lunchtime. We’ll be in trouble if we don’t make arrangements now.”The fourth princess took a deep breath.“Maybe we should use Jason Leo’s plan B now,” she whispered.The secretary froze.“Plan B’s been constantly refined. If we need to, we can use it whenever we want.”“But that plan’s for Hong Kong and Las Vegas’ upper social circle in case they try to fight back. It might be a bit of an overkill if we use it now.”“You know nothing.“If we can’t deal with the situation right now, it’ll be useless even if we make plans A to Z.”The fourth princess took a deep breath before dialing a number on her phone.“Hello? Young Lord York?“I’d like to talk to you about Jason’s res
A cheerful laugh could be heard from the other side of the phone.“I have to admit. Those are pretty good conditions.“I’m almost moved!“But to be honest, these aren’t all that practical to me.“I don’t need you to rise to power.“No one would dare oppose me once I’m the head of my family.“Your so-called benefits are just cherries on top. They don’t help me in any way, shape or form.“I don’t need them.“That’s why I’m not all that interested.”The fourth princess took a deep breath.“I can introduce you to a princess of the royal family. She has a better chance of rising to power compared to me.“She’s never been married nor slept with anyone.“I think she’ll be the best candidate to be the lady of your family.”After pondering about the condition for a while, Vince York burst out laughing.“Right!“That’s settled then!“How do we save your men? Where are they right now? Tell me about the plan when you’re ready.“I’ll do everything in my power to help.“Just don’t
Vrooooom!Loud crackles could be heard in the gloomy sky…Fifteen minutes later, eight Land Cruisers zoomed right to the entrance of the abandoned villa.Gangsters with colorful hair, piercings, and tattoos all over were roaming around the courtyard.Those usually arrogant gangsters all trembled in their boots after seeing a few dozen strong men in black suits before they stumbled out of the place.There was no other choice!They knew that the men were clearly owned by a powerful master, so why would they even go against them in the first place?Let alone the loaded firearms in their hands…Before three minutes had passed, the men had already taken control of the whole place.After knowing where the men came from, the gangsters who owned the place could only smile while standing on the side.The young lord of the Yorks of Hong Kong had business here. Surely the gangsters would not even dare go against him.Hong Kong and Las Vegas were either governed by the Briewood Gang or
Clack!The moment Vince York kicked the door down, a smell of gunpowder wafted in the air.“B*stard!”Vince’s face had lost all color. He did not even have time to warn anyone before he used all his strength as a God of War to bust right out of the glass window, stumbling his way out of the villa.Booooom!Almost at the same time, an intense rumble could be felt from the basement. The huge villa collapsed in an instant.Massive explosions came one after another. Countless hidden explosives all blew up at the same time.It was an extremely shocking sight.Vince’s trusted subordinates were sent rolling on the ground. Most of them were already dead.The entire building was reduced to rubble. If Vince were not quick enough, he would have been dead already.But even so, he did not manage to evade all the debris flying toward him. Along with his past injuries, his speed was only half of what he could actually muster in his prime.In the midst of chaos, the God of War was covered i
Before the men around him even realized anything, a bullet flew right through.The man behind Vince York could feel a sharp pain in his chest as he was sent flying. He was already dead when he landed on the ground again.“Sniper!”The men in suits were all elites of the Yorks of Hong Kong and also Vince’s personal bodyguards. Naturally, they reacted quickly during times like this.Vince, who was on the ground, did not even have time to get angry then. He instinctively rolled behind cover in no time.The spot he laid on had a hole as big as a fist. If he were any slower, he would have been dead already.“Protect Young Lord York!”The elites frantically changed their expression before surrounding Vince while constantly screaming.They did not care about anyone else other than Vince at that moment.Pfffft!Another bullet flew right toward them, this time blowing off the head of one of the elite standing in front.Blood and dust mixed in the air.The elites were furious while t
"Your life is worth so little and you want to drag us along to hell? Who do you think you are? All of you are just the same! Selfish to the core!" the woman yelled at Harvey. It was clear that no matter what Harvey did, she wouldn't like it.Harvey glanced at her and said, "We can forget a moment about how your Mr. Sverker is the one who wanted to die alongside me out of shame and anger, let's talk about you. Who else can you blame but yourself by wasting time here instead of running? Not to mention, he can't do anything to me even if he can slash time and the universe."You have overestimated Sverker. He's nothing but trash. I simply wanted to see how powerful the Sword Style Origin's technique is." Harvey then gave Sverker a look. "But at this level, I can easily dispel it with just one strike.""You…" Sverker was so angry that he shuddered. He wasn't going to waste any more time. He gritted his teeth and once again slashed at where Harvey was standing."Timely Slash!"A
"Is that right?" Harvey asked the woman.He looked at Sverker's dark expression."Oh, he's being that nice? Why not give me a few more concessions? Why don't you go easy on me and miss all three slashes?""Damn you! Damn you all!" Sverker's expression turned dark by Harvey's snickering. He pounced forward again. In just an instant, he already appeared before Harvey. His body suddenly swayed and separated into eight afterimages; all of them instantly slashed from all eight directions."Earthly Slash!"Whoosh!As Sverker made that attack, a screeching sound filled the entire marsh. Sverker attacked Harvey like a flash of lightning. The moment the blade almost reached Harvey, a dreadful aura expanded from it, as if a black light was covering the surface of the blade.The attack seemed to have come from the depths of Hell itself, carrying the wrath of countless ghosts.Harvey's expression was cold as his fist turned into a palm strike, and he attacked straight ahead. His attack w
"Idiot!" Sverker smiled coldly as his figure flashed as he pounced forth like a bolt of lightning. The sword in his hand was immediately pulled out from its sheath, like a shooting star across the sky.Compared to the attack just now, this attack was simply and much more direct. There wasn't even much strength behind it. However, those in the know would know that an attack like this was the most powerful.Sverker believed he could easily kill Harvey on the spot."So what if you defeated all the six schools? So what if you defeated all the prodigies from Country I? So what if you defeated Mark?" Sverker smiled coldly as he attacked. "All the so-called True Warriors were joking to me… Because I am the one who kills True Warriors!" Sverker smiled coldly as he unleashed his first strike."Heavenly Slash!" A scarlet light suddenly flashed through Sverker's blade. Harvey raised his head; the attack that was going to split the sky had arrived. Before the blade even reached h
"You're good… Very good!" There was shock in Sverker's eyes. "I don't want to admit it, but I have to. Country H really is a good place to give birth to someone like you. In twenty years…no, maybe in ten years, you'd be able to comprehend how to reach Unity between Nature and Man. In another fifty years, maybe you can even take that final step and ascend into the void!"Unfortunately, you met me. I will end your legend here. If it isn't because we each serve our own masters, I want to let you live and see just how far you can reach."Sverker's figure disappeared and then reappeared where he was standing earlier.One of the women became extremely excited when she saw this. She seemed to be trained in martial arts a little. "Here it is! Mr. Sverker is serious now! He's really making his move!"All the other women were shocked. When they exchanged glances, all they could see was the surprise in each other's eyes.Sverker used the legendary Sonic Blade already, but even that was
"Don't tell me you'll become more confident with these women cheering for you from the side," Harvey said, completely unaffected by the women's words. Instead, he even teased Sverker for it.Sverker used these women to strike at his morale, so Harvey wouldn't pull his punches. While the two of them hadn't crossed swords, their fight had begun from the moment they met."You have quite a sharp tongue!" Sverker said with a snort. He waved his hands, signaling the women to stop. After that, his right hand slowly reached for the hilt of his sword sheathed by his waist. He narrowed his eyes as he looked at Harvey. "You're quite arrogant! I really hope that you can still be as arrogant once I cleave you in half!"Harvey shrugged. "I think you're the one being arrogant here. Normally speaking, you should be the one begging for your life. Your so-called chivalry is to bend your knee to your betters, isn't it?""Fool!" Sverker cried; Harvey's words hit a nerve, and his right hand sudde
"Sverker?" Harvey said calmly. "If I remember correctly, this is the title of a mass murderer from the Island Nation that died in our hands. For you to give yourself the same name… Do you think you'll die just like that mass murderer in my hands?"Sverker was slightly stunned when he heard what Harvey had to say. Then, he laughed. "Die in your hands? You? Aren't you overestimating yourself a little too much? Do you think you're invincible after defeating all the prodigies of Country I and the Island Nation's Sword Saints?"I admit you're very impressive to have obtained the power of a True Warrior at your age, but that doesn't allow you to look down on everything! You're still too young and you don't have enough experience. You don't know just how wide the world is. There are plenty of people in this world who are more powerful than you!"I became a King of Arms when I was twelve, and a True Warrior at the age of eighteen! Since then, I've been trying to comprehend the path to r
"Not to mention, these are weapons that Grand City's top brass directly controls. If it isn't because I've taken control over Earth Hall recently, I wouldn't have been able to take these out," Clarion said with a sigh.Harvey nodded. "Looks like letting you control Earth Hall is one of my correct decisions after coming to Grand City."Then, Harvey narrowed his eyes and looked ahead. "Clarion. Take your men and attack from the outer ring. Do your best to reach the destination and save our people."Clarion blinked. "And you?"Harvey said, "Always go for the head. A truly powerful elite must be keeping an eye on everything. If we don't eliminate him, our rescue will be destined to fail."Harvey slammed his foot on the ground before jumping into the air, his figure quickly disappearing into the horizon. He noticed that there were plenty of elites converging. This was Sky Plane's territory. No matter how many he killed, his enemies would most likely swarm him.If that was the case,
While Clarion and Harvey were talking, the Origin Sword Style elites were already slowly coming closer.600 feet. 300 feet. 150 feet!As they drew closer, everyone could see their murderous expression. Their firearms already had their safety off. One could also see there were no longer any gaps in their encirclement.With how things were going, the only two options for Harvey and his men were to either get killed or to simply surrender.As they drew closer, not only was Clarion sweating, but all his bodyguards also had cold sweat on their foreheads.Only Harvey wasn't doing anything. He simply narrowed his eyes as if he was quietly calculating something. When there were only 60 feet left, he suddenly said, "You have two seconds."Harvey suddenly slammed his foot on the ground.Boom!A powerful shockwave extended outward, and all the Origin Sword Style elites surrounding them were subconsciously stunned. The shield they were holding momentarily left the ground."Warsong! Fire
At Clarion's order, all his bodyguards immediately dragged out several black suitcases. Within were black holes with blue bullets. It was obvious these bullets were created to be used on Martial Arts elites. The damage they could deal was beyond anyone's imagination.The bodyguards stood in front of Harvey and Clarion with the suitcases, ready to fight their enemies to the bitter end.When the Origin Sword Style elites saw how Harvey and the others reacted, they took out a shield and placed it in front of them. It was obvious they were prepared.Or perhaps, it was easier to say that the Origin Sword Style elites already knew what they had prepared.Clarion's expression darkened. "How did these fools manage to guess we're here with the Warsongs?"Harvey narrowed his eyes. "Is there a possibility that they didn't make a guess, but instead already received news about how many people we brought and what kind of weapons, so they could make preparations for us?"Clarion was stunned. "W
