Manager York burst out in anger after hearing Harvey York’s words.“I know you’re trying to look favorable, Harvey!” he said righteously.“To prevent the Yorks of Hong Kong from punishing you, you’re even making up lies about Master Jacknife being the Island Nations’ spy!“You’re just trying to make a grandiose excuse for your reckless behavior!“But let me tell you something! That’s not how things work!“You can’t achieve your victory this way!”“There’s no proof as to who Master Jacknife is right now…“Even if he’s really from the Island Nations, he’s already served under the Yorks of Hong Kong for so many years! It doesn’t matter if he looks up to us, right?!“Since Grandma York trusts Master Jacknife, then surely he’s a loyal servant! There shouldn’t be a problem!“If you end his life right now, you’ll ruin the diplomatic relationship between Country H and the Island Nations!“Can you even bear such a responsibility?!“Besides, even though you beat Master Jacknife with y
Jacknife was dead!Even in death, his face showed shock, anger, and resentment.He never thought that he would end up dying to Harvey York after all those years of planning and hiding around.Manager York even gave a warning in Grandma York’s place! Surely Harvey would not do anything stupid at this moment, even if he was extremely courageous…But he did not care at all.“What a formidable enemy!”“If Harvey doesn’t die, the Island Nations will fall for sure…”A glint of light flashed in Jacknife’s eyes…Other than anger and resentment, he was also filled with worry.His head tilted to the side before dying in Manager York’s arms.The place was dead silent.Jacknife…The family’s former best expert…And the former sovereign of the Shindan Way…A God of War!A Sword Saint!He died?!Just like that?!And Harvey was the one who snapped his neck in half after painstakingly humiliating him?!Manager York and the others remained still.They did not expect that Harvey woul
“I already helped you deal with a spy from the Island Nations,” said Harvey York calmly.“It’s perfectly fine if you don’t thank me…“But, here you are nagging at me for some reason.“You really think that I wouldn’t dare kill you off?”“When did an outsider get the right to meddle in our family’s business, Harvey?!” exclaimed Manager York coldly.“Have you thought of the consequences of getting yourself involved?!“Have you?!“Kneel, or I’ll mobilize my troops just to deal with you!“And when I’m done with you, you’ll die a graveless death!”Manager York threateningly took out his phone, ready to dial a specific number.“Since when did a servant get the right to show off on behalf of the Yorks of Hong Kong?”A calm yet dignified voice could be heard.When everyone turned around, Marcel York was seen wearing a suit as he walked over from the mountain road, with his arms crossed behind him.At this moment, he did not bring anybody with him, as if he was just casually stroll
Boom!A violent aura instantly burst out as Marcel York took a step forward.Scattered rocks and sand were flying all over the place.Everyone could not help but squint.The men wearing green shirts clenched their chests as they took a step back. Blood was suddenly gushing out of their mouths without any warning.Almost simultaneously, Manager York’s legs gave in before he dropped his knees to the ground.It was not that he wanted to kneel. Marcel’s aura was just too terrifying. It felt like mountains crushing him from above. There was no way for him to hold himself up at that moment.Marcel was strong! Too strong!Jacknife was already pretty impressive himself…But the aura of the mysterious Lord York had him completely outmatched!Manager York’s face lost all color instantly when cold sweats dripped down his back.Harvey curiously glanced at Marcel.He knew that Marcel was not just any ordinary man, but he still managed to underestimate him.Safe to say that all uppercla
The afternoon after Jacknife was dealt with…Harvey York showed up at Maria Hospital.This was Hong Kong’s most renowned private hospital that was also under the Yorks of Hong Kong.Other than advanced technology and a group of skillful medical staff, the most important part was that the family’s forces were all stationed here, making it easy to manage.The Sentries of York were in charge of managing the place, and Julian York was naturally the leader.Akio Yashiro had been unconscious since he was brought to Hong Kong.Julian intentionally put Akio on the top floor and placed many of his men there. Not a single fly would be able to get inside or out of the place.As soon as Harvey stepped inside the hospital, he could clearly feel a lot of eyes glaring at him from all directions.The gazes were filled with unspeakable hostility and resentment.Without even figuring out the people glaring at him, he could distinctly tell that those were the assassins from the Island Nations.
“You must be kidding, Sir York.“We don’t even know who Akio Yashiro’s master is.“Even if we do, since he’s the previous sovereign, surely he’s a God of War and also a Sword Saint, to say the least, right?“How did you even manage to get a hold of a person like that in just a single day?“You weren’t even outside of Hong Kong! You didn’t leave at all!”“I didn’t look for him. He came for me, so I took care of him.“You also know him.“He’s Jacknife, the man who hid behind Grandma York for many years now.”Julian York froze after hearing that name before he showed utter disbelief.Jacknife was one of Grandma York’s most trusted subordinates. He had dealt with countless people who defied Grandma York publicly and secretly.He was also one of Vince York’s most loyal supporters and was the main source of power for his troops.But, he was also the former sovereign of the Shindan Way…Even Julian, who had a pretty open mind, could not believe what he had just heard.“Why would
Harvey York chuckled and replied calmly, “Firstly, we have to make sure that you have no way out.“You’ll only speak when you know it’s best for you anyway.”Akio Yashiro’s pupils shrunk after hearing Harvey’s words.“I don’t understand what you mean by that,” he said before showing a faint smile.“It’s nothing, really.”Harvey smiled back.“I think I should tell you something, though.“I killed a person today.“His name’s Jacknife.”Akio furiously sat up after hearing that name.But because of his restraints, his body was thrown back to his bed.After being in shock for a moment, Akio sighed.“I wouldn’t believe it if anyone else were to tell me that.“But since it’s you, I do believe you.“How did my master expose himself?”“He used his Zephyr Slash after realizing he couldn’t beat me,” replied Harvey calmly.Akio bitterly chuckled.“Master hid himself within the Yorks of Hong Kong for twenty years, honing his skills to hide his Shindan Way roots…“But in the end, i
A stern gaze was showing in Harvey York’s eyes.“Were you the one who established the organization?”“Yes, and no.”Akio Yashiro recollected his memories slowly.“Misfortune was established during the Island Nations’ Great Recession.“The higher-ups started a war and tried to benefit from Country H’s battlefield.“But, the times were different then. Country H had risen exponentially. The country wasn’t as flourishing as it is now, but it also wasn’t a country that the Island Nations could just take advantage of.“The higher-ups decided to deal with some of Country H’s top people if they wanted to use force against Country H.“From the royal court, the business industry, wealthy families, and scientific communities…“Simply put, every single outstanding person in those fields was our target.“The establishment of Misfortune was to deal with those people through ‘accidents’, ruining Country H’s political and economic status in the process.“The members of the organization cons
After Harvey managed to deduce Dan's aim and plan, he then started to think about saving Tina. It was not because Tina was important, but it was simply because after saving her, it would immediately destroy Dan and Coco's perfect plan and disgust them.Harvey believed that if he kept on destroying Dan's plans, no matter how tough he was, he would eventually break down. That was why Harvey had already asked Alexei to send people to keep an eye on Tina, resulting in that scene just now.Most importantly, only after Tina managed to get her life back after suffering a near-death experience would she be willing to fully cooperate with her interrogation.Harvey opened the door and walked over to Tina.Tina was already lying on the ground, face down. The blood she lost made her shudder; even her breathing was becoming so weak that people could hardly hear her. Harvey narrowed his eyes and gave her a good look before saying to Alexei, "Get the first aid kit from the car and then call an am
"Oh, Tina. If the princess wants you dead, no one will spare you. Isn't it better to just die peacefully?" sighed Willy as he looked at Tina in her terrible state. Then, he pulled out his silver pistol and aimed at Tina's forehead from afar inside his Land Cruiser. He was going to pull the trigger.Boom!At the critical moment, a Range Rover suddenly appeared from the side and rammed into the Land Cruiser. The Land Cruiser's chassis shook and almost flipped over.Willy, who was aiming at Tina with his pistol, instantly lost his aim.Very quickly, they crawled out from their Land Cruiser. While they were still holding on to their weapons, they had already lost their prideful demeanor. Willy, especially. As an heir in Grand City, he had never received this level of injury before. At that moment, his body shuddered in anger."Which fool did this to me?! I will… Crap!" Before Willy could even finish cursing, he already saw Alexei give him a smile from the driver's seat in his Range
Unfortunately, while the voice messages were sent out, the opposite side refused to accept them. Tina could only scream when she looked at the red exclamation marks. The pursuers in the cars behind her had also opened their cars' sunroofs and taken out their crossbows. When the bolts they launched hit the road, they immediately created holes in the road from the explosions.Thunderblasts!They were the Martial Arts Weapons, Thunderblasts!When Tina saw what they were using, Tina knew that Coco had given them strict orders. They would not stop until they killed her. If she wanted to survive, she had to find someone else to help her.When that thought crossed her mind, Tina immediately turned into a corner on the highway, heading straight toward the Foster Residence's direction. Willy's expression also turned cold when he saw Tina's car change direction as he sat in a Land Cruiser behind her.As one of Dan's right-hand men, he would definitely do his best despite Coco only asking hi
Tina was no fool. The moment she saw the sleeping drugs, she saw through everything. What Coco's secretary asked her to write was not some complaints but her farewell note. With that note and her death, it would be enough to drag Harvey and Vaida into the mud.Tina knew very clearly about this because she had done something similar, treating others as pawns. However, she would never willingly become someone else's pawn, especially when she had to sacrifice her life for someone else's hand on this game board.When she was writing the complaint halfway, Tina made an excuse about her needing to go to the bathroom to compose herself. But at the window, she already saw some people outside planting some evidence while removing their traces.She shuddered. She could sense the cold hand of Death around her throat. She immediately escaped through the window and immediately ran to her own car, leaving without looking back.However, Coco's secretary made his preparations as well. The moment T
"Let's not talk about whether they fail or succeed," said Harvey with a sigh. "From what happened last night, Dan was going to fight me until the end. Next, he was going to manipulate another group to try and kill me again. Unless I leave Grand City, give up on the Three Halls, and my identity as the representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance, all this is never going to stop…"Vaida gave Harvey a thought and asked, "Then, what are you going to do next? If you want to leave, I can send you away."Harvey shook his head. "I haven't completed my objective for coming to Grand City yet. No need to rush. Not to mention, Dan is quite petty, which means that he isn't suitable to become the mayor of Grand City. This city is very important to Country H. While I'm not interested in becoming mayor, I wish the person who becomes the mayor is someone who can serve the country and its people."Hearing Harvey's words, there was a strange glint in Viada's eyes before she said with a smile, "If
The moment the name appeared in Sverker's mind, he opened his mouth with a hoarse voice. "You're… you're the Ministry of Defense's… living legend… The Chief Instructor?!"When Ghostface heard that name, he shuddered with an expression of total disbelief.Impossible!How was it possible!He was the scariest nightmare for the Island Nation and even Sky Plane itself!Harvey sighed and no longer looked at Sverker. Instead, he turned to look at Ghostface and narrowed his eyes. He smiled and said, "Ghostface, let me ask you a question. What is one plus one equal to?"Ghostface instinctively replied, "Two…'"Ha…" Harvey let out a long sigh with a face of regret. "You and Sverker are the same. Both of you have the same problem. You know too much…"In the next moment, the longsword in his hand instantly shattered into fragments and shot in two different directions. A simple action managed to clear the location of any murderous intentions as Ghostface and Sverker both held their throat a
"It's almost my turn, right?" After Harvey parried Sverker's attack easily, Harvey made his move and jumped into the air. The longsword in his hand swung down.The most powerful martial arts in this world were the ones that were the fastest.This attack was not complex at all, but just one look was enough to strike fear into one's heart. Especially Ghostface. When he saw Harvey's attack, there was an indescribable fear within him. He had a feeling that, if Harvey wanted, he could easily kill him on the spot.And then, he also understood that when Harvey was fighting him, he probably did not even use 70% of his full power."Will of the Blade!" When Harvey saw the attack, Sverker's expression also turned into shock. He had practiced the use of a sword for many years, but he never awakened to the Will of the Blade. He did not expect that Harvey would have awakened to it despite his young age!Whoosh!Sverker did not dare to face such a simple but terrifying attack head-on. All he co
Sverker smiled at Harvey, as if he had sensed Harvey staring at him. Then, he turned to look at Ghostface once more. "If you want me to do something about this, there won't be any problems. But remember. After this, I will lead all the operations in Grand City. The Origin Ninjas will be my subordinates."Ghostface's expression darkened a little, but he promptly replied, "That's fine. I agree on everyone's behalf.""Good. Remember your promise."After that, Sverker took another step forward. He immediately landed and stood on the hilt of one of the longswords impaled into the ground. His hands were behind him, looking like a peerless grandmaster.He proudly looked at Harvey before chuckling and asked, "You're the representative of the Country H Martial Arts Alliance, Harvey, am I correct? I heard you're the most powerful man in the alliance. But now that I get to see you in person, you look quite ordinary. Even if you're strong, you probably don't have the brain power since you walk
After giving it a few more looks, Harvey ignored the surroundings, and his gaze fell on Ghostface's figure ahead.When Ghostface had reached about a few hundred feet into the forest, he suddenly raised his hand, and a small repeating crossbow appeared in his hand. He did not even turn around and immediately pulled the trigger at where Harvey would be.Whoosh!Harvey's expression was calm. When he saw the bolts flying toward him, he simply stomped his foot on the ground. The rocks fired upward and instantly deflected all the bolts.Ghostface's expression changed once more when his attack was deflected, and he quickly retreated. Ghostface was escaping increasingly faster because it was obvious that he knew he would die a terrible death if he ended up in Harvey's hands.Harvey narrowed his eyes as he followed Ghostface without rushing. That was because Ghostface's actions were too intentional, as if he was worried that Harvey would not follow him at all. That was why, despite Harvey
