“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
Julian’s eyes lit up. Then, he raised his head.“Sir York, what if I told you that I can ensure Hong Kong and Las Vegas’s stability if I become the lord?”“I’ll guarantee nobody will be able to touch this place! The Empire and the Island Nations are no exception!”“Do I have a chance to rise if that’s the case?”Harvey was quite curious after seeing Julian’s enthusiastic look.“What gave you the courage to say that? What makes you think you have what it takes?”“Even Vince might not be able to do such a thing.”Julian frowned.“I’m different!”“Vince likes to plan ahead.”“He wants everything to be under his total control. That’s why he needs help from outside forces!”“Anybody who raises their voice against him will be easily silenced through those forces.”“His rise will cause the Yorks of Hong Kong to fall together with both Hong Kong and Las Vegas!”“Borrowed goods will always have to be returned someday.”“But I’m not like that”“If I were to take his position, I wo
The smile on Julian’s face froze in an instant. Instinctively, he turned around.“Vince?!” he exclaimed, his voice cracking. Yoana glanced over behind Harvey as well.“Yes, that’s him right there.”“What’s he doing here?”Harvey grinned.“It doesn’t matter. Since you’re planning to take his place…”“Why not do it now?”“Let me see your courage.”“If you tell him he’s not worthy to be the lord of the family…”“I might just consider helping you.”Julian’s courageous expression took a drastic turn. He clenched his teeth. “Welcome, Young Lord York! Please, come here!” He wasted no time being a sycophant.Upon hearing Julian’s words, disdain flitted over Harvey’s face.The former was acting so domineering and determined just a second ago, going about how he would snatch Vincent’s position, and that he was more than able to take control of the family…Yet, Vince’s name had already been etched deeply inside the hearts of the younger generation of the family.Even when Julia
“No, no, no. Don’t say such things!”“As the Young Lord of the Yorks of Hong Kong, it’s natural for you to keep the younger generation of the family in check!”“I was about to report to you about the situation when I’m done cleaning up, anyway!”“I didn’t expect you to be so well-informed…”“How about this? I’ll talk about it with you after reporting to Lord York!”Vince wore a warm smile at Julian’s flattery, as if he was filled with joy.He took a step forward and patted Julian’s shoulder.“Don’t forget, Julian,” he said.“I’m not just your young lord. I’m your older cousin as well.”“It’s not that I’m well-informed. You did a pretty good job keeping your mission a secret, though.”“Why didn’t you tell me about such a dangerous mission beforehand?”“Even if I can’t come with you, I can at least send a few experts to keep you safe.”“Or are you saying that you’ve been hiding from me?”“Are you scared that I’d try to take credit for your work?”“Or is it because you're tr
