If that wasn’t the case, why would Julian even accept this mission under such circumstances?Even so, he still wasn’t able to tell why Harvey came here.He narrowed his eyes at Harvey for a moment before saying quietly, “To be honest with you, Sir York…”“You’re deeply connected to the Yorks of Hong Kong, and you’re even considered to be a relative.”“But what does the family’s inner conflict have anything to do with you?”“Why are you getting yourself involved?”“Are you trying to climb ranks within the family just like everyone’s saying?”“Climb the ranks?”Harvey laughed.“That throne you people yearn for means nothing to me.”“I don’t really care if you believe me or not.”“I got involved only because this affair might affect the safety of Country H’s people as a whole.”“As long as the person sitting at the top can guarantee the country’s safety…”“I don’t care if it’s Vince, Queenie, or you doing it.”“You might not understand the things I’m saying right now…”“But
Pffft, pffft, pffft!Muffled sounds could be occasionally heard in the buildings.The elites of the Shindan Way who realized that something was wrong were instantly killed the moment they snapped back to their senses.The Shindan Way had no way to prevent this, since the Yorks of Hong Kong didn’t even prepare for such a mission in the first place.After dealing with the people outside, Harvey and the others were already walking toward the center of the island where the ancient buildings were gathered.An ancient stone tablet with texts of the Island Nations was located right ahead.Two swordsmen sitting cross-legged in front of the tablet were suddenly woken up.“Who are you?!”“What’s the password?!”The two fierce swordsmen stood up instinctively, their faces fierce.Before they could even react, Harvey had already taken a step forward and swung his palm.A loud slap could be heard, and the swordsmen were instantly sent flying. When they landed back on the ground again, th
“Is Akio here?” Harvey asked, his tone calm.“If he is, get his *ss out of here right now.”“How dare you call out the master’s name as you please?!”The robed man’s face changed once he took a good look at Harvey.“You’re Harvey York?!”“Go! Kill him now!”The man gave an order immediately upon recognizing Harvey.A shame it was just too late.Harvey shook his body slightly before pouncing forward.Eight Kings of Arms wailed in pain; they weren’t even able to pull their swords out before they were sent flying. Their orifices were bleeding profusely when they landed on the ground again, all composure lost.The robed man’s expression changed into horror. He tried to get away, but he was just too slow.Harvey appeared right in front of him, and swung the back of his palm across his face.The sound of a loud clap rang, and the man slammed right into the ground before losing consciousness in an instant.Julian’s face was grim upon seeing what had happened. Before he could say
“Enough tricks!”Harvey bellowed, narrowing his eyes.He grabbed Julian’s firearm, took off the safety, and then pulled the trigger on the enemies’ heads.Bang, bang, bang!Bullets flew all over the place. Then a ninja appeared on the ceiling, looking bewildered. There was a red dot on his forehead when he slammed onto the ground.As blood spilled all over the place, Harvey swiftly pulled the trigger behind him.Another ninja who was trying to sneak up on him fell flat to the ground.Before the rest of the ninjas could even react, Harvey kept pulling the trigger without pause, killing every single ninja coming his way.Bang!The ninjas looked at him with faces of shock and disbelief before getting gunned down.All of them were instantly killed without Harvey even breaking a sweat.Harvey casually handed over the firearm back to Julian before taking a step forward.Bang!An extremely extravagant-looking gate inside the temple was sent flying with a single kick.Swish!The
Harvey could clearly feel a cold chill swerving in his vision.The slash was filled with murderous intent, as if a demon from Hell was the one dealing the blow.The Sword Saint of the Shindan Way wasn’t a title just for show. Akio truly did possess the strength of a God of War.In just a single moment, the slash was already heading right toward Harvey.Harvey flicked his finger while instinctively moving backwards.Clang!A loud sound echoed throughout the place when both sides clashed. Waves of air surged forward, pushing Harvey a few steps back.Even though Harvey wasn’t underestimating Akio at all, he never expected Akio’s strength to be a lot fiercer compared to before.Akio must’ve trained himself even harder after his previous defeat.He must have reached greater heights.Without hesitating, Harvey picked up a sword from the ground and shook his head.“You trained hard, Akio, but that doesn’t mean anything to me.”“Even a peak God of War wouldn’t be able to do much ag
“You talk too much. Experts wouldn’t run their mouths.”Harvey took a step forward and swung his sword in an instant.His swing was lightning fast, giving Akio no time at all to even react.Harvey’s swordsmanship was a lot different compared to Akio. His attacks were swift and deadly.The next moment, Akio could feel the slash.Akio, who was extremely confident before, grew panicked. He could tell just how much power was contained within Harvey’s attacks.Cold sweat dripped down Akio’s body and he let out a furious howl, and forced himself to pull his blade and block Harvey’s attack.Clang!Harvey’s sword pierced right through like a bright light.A huge blast surged toward Akio; he had no chance protecting himself against a seemingly predictable attack.He never thought that Harvey’s simple slash would be so spectacularly deadly.Akio was shocked. He quickly realized Harvey’s show of strength back in Hong Kong was just the tip of the iceberg.Harvey was so close to uniting
“What?! You’re Rin?”Julian froze. A wretched look appeared on his face.“You’re the sovereign of the Shindan Way and one of the Island Nations’ greatest Sword Saints!”“How are you the leader of Misfortune?!”Akio chuckled bitterly.“If I wasn’t Rin, why would I even know why you’re here?”Harvey frowned. He had predicted it somewhat, but he still found it a little unbelievable even after Akio revealed his identity.“Fine. If you’re really Rin, I’ll have you answer a few of my questions.”With a cold expression, Julian then asked, “Were you the one who killed Lord York’s son?”Akio’s eyes twitched frantically.“Julian York, correct?”“What would you like to hear? Yes or no?”Bang!Julian pulled the trigger on Akio’s hand without any hesitation.Blood splattered all over the ground. Akio only grunted, but not a scream could be heard from him.He could naturally dodge the bullet, but there would be no point.Harvey didn’t take action, but he had his eyes locked on Akio.
Julian froze at Akio’s words.“You b*stard! How can you not know who your employer is?!” he hollered.“How can you not know if you’re Rin?!”“You…”Slap!Before Julian could lash out, Harvey immediately swung his palm across Akio’s head, knocking Akio unconscious.Harvey then wiped his hand with some tissues.“Now’s not the time to question him.”“We’ll have lots of time when we get back to Hong Kong.”“He’s just trying to stall us.”“Come on!”Julian regained his calm upon hearing Harvey’s words.When the elites of the Shindan Way had the place completely surrounded, Harvey and Julian were already retreating toward the back of the mountain together with the Sentries of York.At the same time, the traps Yoana and her men placed beforehand were about to be put to good use.The moment Harvey and the others got away, the explosives were detonated instantly.When the Shindan Way gathered around the cliff, Harvey and the others were already gone.…Seven o’clock in the morn
In Djinn's understanding, Neve was just your usual run-of-the-mill blue blood in Grand City. How did she know so much? How could she learn that they were coming and made preparations for them?Neve coldly answered, "Of course, I can't foretell what will happen. But what if someone wanted to do me a favor and told me to pay more attention? What do you think of the possibility of this person being the same person as the one who told you to come here?""Told me to come here?" Djinn's expression changed. "That damn fool Da…"Then, he suddenly realized what was happening. "You tricked me, woman?!""Tricked you?" Neve spoke with a smile. "I'm not tricking you. But, the person behind me has already foreseen everything.""The person behind you?" Djinn's eyes twitched again. "Just who is this person behind you? Is it her?""No. Sis Vaida is here just to protect me. Oh, right. Her name is the Swarm Queen."When hearing this name, Djinn's eyes grew wide. As one of the elites of Sky Plane,
To the Islanders, whether it was killed or be killed, it did not matter much. During the Warring States, their entire civilization almost became extinct.This was nothing at all.However, all the elites who accompanied Djinn were elites from Sky Plane. To think that they died terribly… How could it not make him fearful? Djinn thought that while it would not be a walk in the park to complete this mission, he still needed to put in some effort.But he never expected that all the people he took with him had all crumpled on the ground, dead. They were Kings of Arms elites. Whether it was the swordsmen from the Origin Sword Style or the ninjas from the Origin Ninjustu, they were all the backbone of their respective schools. Each one of them required a lot of time and effort to train.He did not expect them to all die in such a terrifying manner. All he had left to say was this woman in white was simply too frightening.But when faced with his question, the woman in white did not say an
This changed Djinn's expression. Then, he finally saw the name of the drama. There was only one word shown. Ambush.The moment Djinn saw that word, his expression turned extremely dark."Something's wrong! Hear my orders, everyone! Take your drugs and attack with full force! Kill Neve Foster!" Djinn was also someone quite decisive. Once he noticed something was amiss with the current situation, he did not retreat and even quickly gave his orders.At this point, they were no longer in a position to retreat. As he made his orders, all the ninjas and swordsmen pulled out the longsword by their waists. All of them were ready to pounce at their target.But no matter how strong they were, they could not stop themselves from making war cries, as if they did not care about their own lives. However, the expected battle to the deaths did not occur at all. When the Island Nation elites cried out, the white figure in the living room reappeared in a flash.At this time, the Island Nation elite
Shortly, a ninja in black garb appeared not far away in front of them. He was the scout sent to investigate ahead. The scout's figure appeared right before Djinn. He bowed and said, "Lord Djinn."Djinn coldly asked, "How's the situation ahead?"The scout whispered, "I've confirmed that Geoffrey has joined the Grand City's Seven Families Joint Meeting. Three-fourths of the Universal Sect's elites had gone to the meeting. I have also confirmed that the place Neve stayed in, a courtyard at the back, isn't that strictly guarded. Our people have already hacked the security cameras in our route. We can immediately enter."Then, the scout quickly took out his tablet and showed Djinn some videos and pictures. Djinn looked at them and could not help but exclaim, "Good. Very good. Then let's do this together. Everyone, remember that we must finish this as quickly as possible. Our objective is to kill Neve and ignore everyone else. Understand?"Djinn's tone was low and serious."Yes!" All th
"That should work," said Coco after considering it. "I never liked Neve for the longest time. If we can pin her death on Vaida and Harvey, there's no harm to me at all. But we can't use anyone from Parkerville, so I'll need to make some arrangements…""No need for that," Dan said. "No matter how weak the Fosters are, they're still one of the Seven Families of Grand City. No one can touch them if one doesn't give them their all. It's best to get Sverker or Ghostface to kill her. I've been sealing all the entrances so far and not letting the people from Sky Plane enter. I believe they're very willing to cooperate if I simply ask for a favor."Dan gave it a deep thought after a while. Then, he smiled and said, "Right, I'll personally inform Clarion about this. Telling him that his beloved is in danger. I wonder, will it be Harvey's fault again if Clarion went to save her without making any preparations and ended up dying?"Coco's expression was merciless when she heard Dan's plans, thi
When Coco heard what Dan had to say, she gave him an expectant look. "Dan, when you finally become mayor, I'll be more than just the princess of Parkerville. I will be the princess of the entire Grand City! Let's see who dares to cross me then!"Then, Dan smiled gently at Coco. "It's good that you finally understand this.""But, the problem is that I still can't let this go! Vaida and Harvey have crossed a line! How could they slap a face as pretty as mine? How ridiculous!" Coco held her still-swollen face, looking vicious."Not to mention, Vaida even wanted me to reimburse her for all the profit I had already taken from the restaurant! But am I supposed to give that up? I can't bear the loss of face!" Coco said as a cold glint appeared in her eyes. It was obvious that she was never going to let it slide."Do you really want to get revenge?" Dan asked after giving it a thought. "The only person who could officially keep the Seven Families under control was the Hierophant. You can t
"He might look like a simple man, but every time he benefits from something, it's always because of good luck. But when someone is always this lucky, then the luck becomes part of his power. In the past, I also believed that I could easily crush him. But the result? Just how much have we lost in Grand City? "Clarion, Durandal… Other than these two, how many more must we sacrifice? How many people must we lose? That's why when we're targeting him, whether we choose peace or war, we must think things through and consider the consequences. Otherwise, we might be in huge trouble if we're careless…"Obviously, Dan was learning from his past mistakes. After failing multiple times, he had a deep understanding of Harvey. Even if her most beloved sister was utterly humiliated, even if Parkerville was humiliated entirely, Dan still believed that he needed to be careful about this. Since no one could tell who would come up on top if this continued."Fine. Since we can't secretly attack or get
Just when Harvey and Alexei were shocked at the truth Vaida had revealed, Coco was back in her home. Not only was Coco still awake, but she was also pacing around Dan's room with an angered expression."Of course, I know he's the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance and also know that he's Vaida's so-called man of destiny. He even humiliated Sky Plane at the training hall earlier. And then, he even made that traitor Clarion turn on you after what happened at the casino."But are we supposed to be scared of him because of all this? Kill him! Kill him now! I believe with your power, you have all the means to make him suffer and die in Grand City! What right does an outsider have to show off like that in Grand City? Are you kidding me?!"Coco no longer had the charm and grace when she was outside. All that was on her beautiful face was a vengeful expression. She wished she could stomp on Harvey right now and kill him using her high heels.Dan ignored her and simply drank the ho
When Coco heard what Harvey had said, her face twisted in anger. She wished she could pounce at him and tear his flesh with her teeth. But the last of her conscience made her suppress her anger.All these years, she called herself the princess of Grand City and openly said she could one-up all the women in this city, becoming the so-called number one lady. As for Vaida, the former number one? Coco did not pay her much attention and simply treated her as a mental patient who was not even worth her time.But now, she needed to apologize to Vaida?At that moment, all Coco could feel was her utter suffocation. But if she refused to apologize, Harvey would not let her be. He might even slap her again.Meanwhile, if she called reinforcements from Dan and Parkerville, it might not be enough to suppress this fool. Not to mention, this might make her the laughingstock of Grand City.When those thoughts crossed her mind, Coco decided to suppress her anger and end this situation. Once this w
