Vince York was showing a cold expression on his face. He was confident, but he was not stupid either.No matter what, since Harvey York managed to kill Miyata Shinosuke, suppress Jason Leo, capture Akio Yashiro alive, and even deal with Jacknife…Those were still considered monumental achievements. Vince was arrogant, but he did not intend to fight Harvey head-on at that moment.He wanted to defeat Harvey and solidify his reputation in Hong Kong and Las Vegas for all eternity.He did not want to win in a battle of attrition. Without a second thought, Vince leaned on the lord’s seat and casually glanced at Harvey.“This is a good day for my rise to power! I’ll keep my hands off of you since I don’t want to waste my time!“But, you should just stop pretending at this point! Grovel already!”Hundreds of experts closed in after hearing Vince’s words.Other than the members of the Yorks of Hong Kong, more Islanders were bolstering the numbers.Those people were already infuriated
Harvey York seemed indifferent when he spoke in a playful tone.Every single word he said was a slap in the face to the Islanders and also an attempt to break off their close relationship with Vince York.The Shinkage Way, the Nen Way, and the experts with some dignity felt their faces heating up and their hearts filled with burning rage.They thought they were a league above the rest. They also thought they were the noblest of people in the far east.In their eyes, they came to support Vince so they could build a strong footing here. They did not come here to end up being Vince’s fighters.But Harvey had completely humiliated them, saying that Vince was their true master.After returning to their senses, their eyes uncontrollably twitched while turning bright red!“Damn you!”Before Vince could even say anything, Masao Takei could no longer hold his feelings back.He immediately unsheathed the sword on his waist and marched furiously toward Harvey.“I’ll kill you right now,
After hearing Keiko Kitagawa’s words, Vince York’s eyes lit up.“Good! I’ll wait for him to end Harvey York’s life then!”Naturally, it would have been best if Harvey died just like that.The surrounding people feared Harvey’s strength, but after hearing Keiko’s explanation, they felt Masao Takei could actually take revenge for the Shinkage Way and cut Harvey into pieces.All the Islanders squinted their eyes at Masao, patiently waiting for him to end Harvey’s life.Boom!Under everyone’s exhilarated gaze, Masao tightly gripped the hilt of his sword. In just a moment, the monstrous aura of the sword seeped out of his body.“Be careful, Sir York! He’s using the Chrysanthemum Blade, a legendary sword gifted by the Island Nations’ royal family!“It’s said that it previously belonged to a legendary Ronin! A single slash from it would be incredibly devastating!“The sword can cut steel like butter! Stay alert!”Yoana Mendoza was the one who told Harvey everything. Naturally, she h
What a swift slash!What a beautiful slash!What a fierce slash!The Islanders were exhilarated.After seeing Masao Takei’s strength, they felt as if they could see their country’s future.The female guests from the Island Nations were screaming hysterically.“You’re so strong, Mr. Takei!”“Kill that man!”“The Island Nations will be the strongest country in the far east!”Masao’s blood was boiling after hearing all that cheering.He held his sword and let out a cold chuckle.“Time to die, you b*stard!”Masao’s sword was emitting a bright light once again.The crowd was shocked to see the sword flash again before their eyes.It was faster!Stronger!“Lone Slash!”Masao felt vigorous. Not only did his speed increase, but his movements were also much faster than usual.Swish swish swish!Countless white lights formed together before charging right toward Harvey York.Without a doubt, Harvey would die if those light beams were to make contact with his body.“Too slow.
An expert of the Nen Way, Rokuro Shimizu, gritted his teeth and squinted before regaining his composure. He felt only he could defeat the man before him if he went all out and demonstrated the Nen Way’s killer move.“How is he this strong?!”Keiko Kitagawa’s jaw dropped without her even realizing it.She wanted to see Masao Takei reclaim the Shinkage Way’s tarnished reputation…But he also failed!Keiko was infuriated. She did not want to believe anything she saw at this moment.The Tsuchimikado Family was also at a loss. They kept rubbing their eyes, as if they were unwilling to witness the sight.Only Akio Yashiro was showing a calm look on his face.After suffering countless losses against Harvey York, he understood just how terrifying he actually was.That was why he would rather see the other martial arts schools embarrass themselves. Why would he even risk his own life to give them a clue?Schwing!Harvey reached out and calmly rubbed his palm along the Chrysanthemum B
“Is that all the Shinkage Way has to offer?“You’re trying to surround me after realizing you have no winning chance of fighting me alone?“Is this what you call Bushido Spirit?“This is your ambition to become the strongest country in the far east?Harvey York coldly chuckled.“You can’t even beat me, yet you’re showing off in Country H?“If I were you, I’d beg for mercy and stay away from the damn country forever!“All of you are unworthy after all!”A playful tone could be heard in Harvey’s words…But everything he said had crushed the Islanders’ fragile self-esteem.“How dare you to be this arrogant, you b*stard?!“Did you think you have the right to run your mouth just because you defeated a bunch of Islanders?!”A tall silhouette flew all the way from the crowd to the middle of the hall.It was Rokuro Shimizu from the Nen Way!The Nen Way had a history that spanned thousands of years. Out of the six martial arts schools, they were considered titans.That was why Ro
The Nen Way focused not only on their swordsmanship but also their ability to play with the human mind.A move like this was hazardous. Not just people on the same level, even those who were way better than Rokuro Shimizu, would be unable to block such an attack.But Harvey York managed to come out unscathed even when Rokuro had put all his might into the attack…Rokuro could not entirely accept that fact.Before Rokuro returned to his senses, Harvey opened his eyes and swung a kick toward Rokuro’s face.The attack was quick and destructive, as if it was a bolt of thunder.Rokuro wanted to scream at Harvey and call him a b*stard for not giving him any time to react.He had no choice but to put up both his arms to block the incoming attack.Crack!Harvey’s leg was swinging right toward him at that instant.Rokuro was sent flying before slamming right into the ground with a horrified look.Harvey calmly took a step toward him and swung another kick.Rokuro felt infuriated and
“Is that a threat?” asked Harvey York calmly.“So what if it is?!“You can’t kill me!“Let me tell you something! It’s a big enough incident for you to cripple me today! If you hurt me again, you’ll…”Before Rokuro Shimizu was even done talking, Harvey had already sent eight experts flying with a single kick before snapping his neck with his bare hand.‘B*stard!‘He came at me without saying a single word?!’Rokuro showed a face full of shock and disbelief as his soul left his body.He would have kneeled and begged for mercy if he knew that Harvey had no mercy.Lexie York and the others instinctively tried to stop Harvey, but they could not even react in time since Harvey was just too fast.The other guests were completely shocked. They did not expect that Harvey would end Rokuro’s life.“Damn you!”“Die!”Six experts of the Nen Way yelled in anger after seeing Rokuro’s death before they charged right at Harvey haphazardly.Slap slap slap!Harvey casually slapped every s
"In other words, you don't have to worry about this. I'll take care of it," Zayden said. "As for the Ninth Branch, that's the fruit of your labor. At least, I don't see anyone has the right to replace you as the head. Unless you have made a very serious mistake, your status as the head of the Ninth Branch is guaranteed. Remember, never say something like giving up your spot as the head ever again."Top families like the Jeans of Mordu have their own rules. There are certain positions that can't be taken just because you wanted to, and there are those that you can't leave just as easily as well."Mandy was stunned after she heard Zayden's criticism of her. Then, she nodded. "Understood. Thank you for your lesson, sir. I will do everything I can in the service of the family."Mandy wasn't that surprised to see that Zayden was willing to make a personal appearance. Since Kyros didn't show any respect to the Jeans of Mordu, Zayden needed to make a show of force once things reached thi
After about half an hour, Mandy finally saw figures appearing at the entrance. She grew a little uneasy. She put down the phone that she was using to work, and stood up."Ms. Mandy, Mr. Zayden is now ready to see you." Ms. Judd smiled and signaled Mandy to come with her. The estate might look quite small, but in actual fact, the entire land surrounding it was considered part of the estate. Without someone leading the way, no one could find their destination.Very quickly, Ms. Judd took Mandy to the Storm Pavilion in the garden. This place was quite warm, and it made Mandy feel quite relaxed. In the middle of the pavilion was a table with several plated snacks. They were all things that could be found in the countryside, like peanuts and carrots. Other than that, there was a bowl of barley.A man around fifty years of age was just getting ready to eat when he raised his head and smiled at Mandy. "Why are you here, Mandy? Aren't you supposed to be in Wolsing handling the Ninth Bra
Purdue Mountain, Mordu.A brand new Mercedes-Maybach drove into an ancient estate on the hill of the mountain. As it was close to the ocean and the temperature quickly dropped during the fall season, other than some coldness from late autumn, the estate also carried a certain frigidity.Mandy got out of the car wearing a thin jacket, looking at the ancient structures within the estate. Some of them were centuries old, and no one could tell how long they had existed. However, the buildings looked like they were newly constructed. The Jeans of Mordu would renovate and repair the buildings once every three months, as well as install the newest technology.Just that alone was evidence of how important this place was for the Jeans of Mordu. The truth was that this was the residence of the patriarch of the Jeans of Mordu, Zayden. He had been extremely discreet these past years.Normally, the patriarch of the Jeans of Mordu would stay here. All his words and actions would decide the ent
"You…" Royce gritted his teeth, wishing he could slap Harvey. However, he knew that Harvey did this intentionally to take revenge against them, giving him a so-called choice. Harvey did it to completely humiliate both him and Kyros.Harvey also wanted to use this matter to create a crack in the Wright of Wolsing and the Yates of Country A's relationship during their honeymoon period. The problem was, Royce didn't have a choice. If Harvey truly decided to do whatever he wanted, then both he and Kyros would be in deep trouble.Royce gritted his teeth for a long time before finally slowly bending his knee and said, "I'm sorry…"Harvey immediately raised his foot and kicked Royce to the floor. "I know you're not sincere in your apologies, but I'll still accept it with mercy. But remember—if you want to do something in the future, do it for me. If you do anything to the people close to me again, even your gods can't protect you."And then, Harvey grabbed Xynthia's hand and left. H
As the leader of the top ten families, the Wrights of Wolsing had their own duties and responsibilities. They needed to maintain the high and mighty image of the top families in the hearts of the commoners.Once this was fully exposed, perhaps the people from the precinct and Dragon Cell wouldn't take any action against the Wright family, but Emery might personally eliminate him in the name of justice to protect the family's reputation.Since Emery hadn't truly become the leader of the family yet, Sienna was still present to challenge him.If Harvey really decided to reveal this without a care, then Sienna would use this chance to make things worse for Emery. Especially during an inner struggle, a microscale change can sometimes cause a big enough change.Of course, the most important part of this was that Kyros worried this would really affect Emery's ascension. That was more important than Harvey's wanton actions.Even Royce's expression also became pale. It was true that he was
It was obvious Kyros had mastered the way to threaten someone using the people close to them. Or perhaps, it was easier to say that few people could escape the laws of what he had said. Few people could be an island in this world.In short, Kyros had never treated Harvey as someone he had to take seriously even in his subconscious. He was from the Wrights of Wolsing, the leading family of the top ten families.Blaine, Hector, Dan, and the other scions within their ranks might make it worth his time, but Harvey was definitely not one of them."Oh, you're offering me a lesson," Harvey chuckled as he heard his words."I'm not giving you a lesson. I'm simply telling you that there are rules in this world that you can't escape no matter what," Kyros said sincerely. "For example, it might make you feel good to hit my head until it's bleeding, but now that you've calmed down, don't you feel any regret about it? Didn't you feel lucky that I'm still alive? Otherwise, how do you think this w
"These two titles might be enough to scare countless others to submission," Kyros said with a smirk. He then lit up a long cigar and puffed out a smoke ring. "But to us Wrights of Wolsing, that's pointless…"Harvey calmly said, "So that won't work, then?"Kyros smirked. "For the time being, yes. Maybe you can show us some other things, see if they can scare me too…""I think this should be able to scare you." Harvey couldn't be bothered with continuing this conversation. He grabbed a glass ashtray and then slammed it on Kyros' head.There was a bang, and the ashtray shattered as blood sprayed.After what Harvey had done, the arrogant Kyros was instantly in a bad state. Blood was dripping from his forehead, making his face look brutal."What?!" Royce looked at Harvey in disbelief as his mouth opened wide, as if he didn't know how to react. Kyros' companions and his bodyguards were all similarly stunned. No one expected Harvey to attack when the negotiation went sideways.It wasn'
"If you ask me, I don't mind making concessions. If you can call one of the direct descendants from the Jean family to come over and offer an apology, I can consider this matter over. Otherwise, just the Jean family's reputation alone isn't enough. But even then, can the Ninth Branch ask any of them here?" Kyros' face was filled with contempt.It was true that being one of the top ten families was very impressive, but the difference in status between a direct descendent and a descendent from a branch family was quite wide. Someone from the ninth branch of the Jeans of Mordu wanted to force someone from the direct branch of the Wrights of Wolsing to back down?They must be joking.Xynthia wasn't sure what to say at this time, as she had run out of words.At this time, Harvey interjected calmly, "You know what's really going on when it comes to who's being right and wrong. Since Xynthia wants to settle this peacefully, I'm willing to take that route as well. But looking at how fo
Kyros' words carried a hint of laziness and brazenness. It was as if the entire Wolsing had already been crushed under the Wrights' heels. It was as if no one would doubt their strength.After he said that, the man called Raiden revealed a cruel smile and waved his hand. All the other men and women, clad in exotic outfits, moved out of the way, each with a gun in hand. They immediately locked down the entire restaurant. Some of them even calmly revealed their permits and showed them to everyone.In a place like Wolsing, it was almost impossible for someone to possess any firearm legitimately. That alone was enough to explain a lot of things."You're scared now, aren't you?" Royce said coldly as he dialed another number. Another group of security guards rushed in and immediately blocked all the exits. It was clear they weren't going to stop until someone was dead.This could explain a lot of things indeed.However, Harvey didn't think too much about this and simply smiled. Meanwh
