Frankie thought, if he wasn’t able to kill Harvey…His people would’ve died in vain. The Celestial Temple and the John family’s relationship with the temple would be completely ruined as well.After all, there were some things that just shouldn’t be said.Of course, of utmost importance was the fact that Frankie’s reputation would be tarnished!To Frankie, his reputation was more important than anything else!“You… Heh…”Right as Frankie swung his sword, Harvey sighed and took a step forward.His movements were so slow to the point everyone could see them.But when Harvey swung his hand, it was so fast that nobody could react to it.Frankie’s sword snapped in half the moment it came in contact with Harvey’s slap.Frankie stepped back, a horrified look on his face.He realized that Harvey, who he looked down on, had unbelievable strength!Frankie was certain he would be sent flying by the same slap if he didn’t evade it.But as soon as Frankie stepped back, Harvey calmly wa
The next moment, experts wielding swords walked out, bathed in a terrifying aura.They must be India’s rarest experts.And in the center, a monk with a golden cassock could be seen.He had a cold gaze as he strutted forward fiercely.Every single step he took was filled with unimaginable power and dominance.Rachel’s gaze turned cold after seeing him; her face became grim. She could tell that the monk was extremely powerful.“Master!”“Master Garcia!”Frankie and Dahlia, however, were filled with joy when they saw the monk.It was as if the monk could solve all of their troubles.The monk was one of the self-proclaimed Three Great Monks of India—an expert from the Celestial Temple and also a servant for the Golden Palace—Cody Garcia!It’s said he was already in the early stages of being a God of War. His power was simply extraordinary.Dahlia hoped he could take out Harvey with a single slap. It would be perfect if that was the case.Cody ignored everyone completely and
“Aaagh!”Screams of pain could be heard as Frankie hit the ground.Frankie, who was acting high and mighty just before, was bleeding out of his orifices. His limbs were giving up on him.He wanted to crawl back up, but he couldn’t muster up the strength to do so.He knew almost everything that was going to happen, but he never thought that he was going to end up like this.He was a noble Kshatriya from India!He was a top talent for the younger generation!A brilliant student of a Great Monk!The vice chairman of the Bharata Business Council!A prominent figure of Flutwell’s upper social circle, as well as Joseph’s sworn brother!In Frankie’s eyes, nobody would dare lay a finger on him because of all this…Even if the police were to arrest him, he could only be locked up for two days.After all, he had diplomatic immunity!But for the Indians, who put their interests first, Frankie had lost everything the moment he got crippled.It’d be better if he was killed instead!F
“I’ll make you regret your decision in hell!”“That’ll teach you not to mess with us noble Indians!”Cody unsheathed his knife, a wretched look on his face.Harvey shook his head.“It’s a shame, you’re not my opponent.”“Just like your son—just like your disciple—you’re all no match for me!”“You’re barely considered a God of War, but you mean nothing to me.”“Well, well, well!”“We’ll see about that!”“Since you’re that confident, I’ll show you just how terrifying the Mystic Arts of India truly is!”Cody revealed an amulet and started chanting. He then ignited the amulet with his finger before slamming it right onto his head.Bam!Harvey could clearly feel Cody’s strength rising exponentially.Cody’s eyes were blood red, and he looked as if he was a demon who crawled out of Hell.A terrifying aura covered the entire sky.This was the strength of a God of War!“Hypnosis?”Harvey’s eyes twitched slightly.“I didn’t think that you could do that to yourself to gain this
Harvey held his strength back on purpose to see just how powerful Cody had become with the hypnosis technique; he didn’t want to kill Cody by accident with a single slash.Cody didn’t realize this. He swung his knife at lightning speed, able to counter Harvey’s suppressed strength.Sounds of blades clashing could be heard constantly.Clang!After nine slashes, Cody looked as if he found an opportunity. He spun the knife in his hand and slashed it downward.The air started vibrating through the attack. Even the sound barrier being broken could be heard. Harvey raised his sword, effectively blocking the attack.But since he suppressed his own strength, he was forced back a few steps.Dahlia stepped back with a cold expression.She believed that Harvey was finished, but she still didn’t want to get dragged into the situation.“A God of War.”Harvey stood up straight with a surprised expression.“You’re barely a God of War, but you managed to maintain this power using hypnosis
Dahlia coldly chuckled as she watched the fight.“You’re finished, Harvey!” she screeched disdainfully. “That’s a legendary move from the Celestial Temple—the Phantom Sword! Your eyes won’t be able to see the truth!”“You have no choice but to die!”“I’d start begging for mercy if I were you!”“It’s not shameful to kneel in front of a stronger person, after all!”“A true gentleman knows when to give up!”“Of course, it’s another thing if Master Garcia decides to kill you or not after you kneel!”Everyone was chuckling wretchedly upon hearing Dahlia’s arrogant words.They wanted Harvey to perish, but they wanted to see him beg for mercy even more.Even Cody was laughing as he performed his move.He wanted to crush Harvey’s spirits—he wanted to see Harvey break into tears! As everyone was insulting Harvey relentlessly, Harvey only revealed a faint smile.“What a show-off.”“The John family is well-versed in martial arts, Dahlia. You have a deep connection with the Golden
“Quick! Protect Master Garcia!”“Don’t let that man kill him!”An Indian shivered before he returned to his senses. He held up his sword and stood in front of Cody.The others followed suit, trying to stop Harvey from doing anything.Harvey ignored the fierce-looking Indians completely and looked calmly at Cody.“If that’s all you have to show from your Mystic Arts…”“It sure doesn’t look like you’re going to get your way today.”Cody raised his head, his entire body still shaking; resentment could be seen on his pale old face.“Us Indians will always repay the favor! We’re not done with this yet!”“Are we not?”Harvey shrugged nonchalantly.“So you’re saying it’ll all be done if I deal with every single one of you here?”The Indians turned pale the moment they heard Harvey’s murderous tone.Privately, they were cursing Cody and his entire family.‘Why the f*ck are you still hell-bent on revenge now? Are you insane?! Now’s not the time to talk about something like that! E
For Harvey, nobody could stop him from killing Cody.Cody’s son, disciple, and so many of his people had been taken out by Harvey.There would be a lot of trouble if the situation wasn’t dealt with then and there.Harvey had no choice.“Do you have a death wish?!”Clara was infuriated upon hearing Harvey’s calm words.“You’re insane!”“Do you realize who you’re dealing with here?”“Do you know what the Golden Palace represents?”“Do you know who Master Garcia is to us?!”“We’re in the middle of the day!”“You’re being a little too arrogant!”“We haven’t even settled scores with you for killing Freddy yet!”“And now, you’re here beating people up again?!”“Not only are you being disrespectful to the deceased, but you’re disrespecting every single one of us!”“Who gave you such courage?!”Clara shot Harvey a frosty look as she lectured him.“On behalf of the Golden Palace’s Law Enforcement, I’m warning you…”“Surrender now and wait for us to deal with you!”“If you res
"That's enough, Veronica!" Marlee's face hardened. "No matter how good Master Eridan is, that's not a reason to treat Master Harvey like this. Not only did he heal Grandma in the first place, but we also have to respect him because he's willing to come to our family this time. We…""Enough!" Reginald was getting slightly annoyed, so he immediately made the decision. "It looks like I have no say in this despite being your grandfather, Marlee? Since you have so much to talk about, you can leave too. Otherwise, you'll take full responsibility if your grandmother's rest is interrupted!"Someone like Reginald knew how to humiliate someone without even pointing his finger at them. While he was scolding Marlee, he was actually humiliating Harvey. Since someone of his age hated the youths, who were so energetic and thought highly of their capabilities.Perhaps he did have some talent, but how could his talents compare to a true expert? It was as if he was the only one who could deal with th
"How dare you!" Eridan bellowed, his body shaking with anger. "You have a sharp tongue and like to make things up! I'm willing to bet on the reputation of the School of Astrologers that she will be fine for six days and nights!"I will use the Cleansing Technique in the arts of Geomancy to cleanse the evil spirits within her one more time. Then, I will slightly change the configuration before demolishing that mountain shrine! Everything will be solved then!"Then, Eridan pointed his finger at Harvey's face and said, "Stop criticizing my expertise when you do nothing, boy!""That's right. Stop being so proud over nothing," Veronica said to Harvey, having no liking for him at all. "Don't think I don't know just what kind of personality plebeians like you have. Do you think you can do anything you want, and will your status rise once you're acquainted with my family?"In the end, you're just making nonsense that won't be able to solve the problem and make it even worse. Only a piece o
"I'm willing to swear upon my School's name, Ms. Marlee, that I’m the only one who has the power to help the Judds of Wolsing," vowed Eridan with a puff at Marlee."Of course, if someone within your family doesn't trust me, it's fine. Have someone else deal with this, and I shall immediately take my leave. From now on, our school will never step into the Judd family residence, so you better think twice!" said Eridan coldly.It was apparent to all that Eridan was forcing the Judds of Wolsing to make a choice. If there were anyone who believed in Harvey, he would leave. The School of Astronomers had its pride to consider! His reputation as the best Geomancer in Wolsing was not something that was made up either. Whoever dared to question him was to challenge his entire school."Tell your daughter to leave with that charlatan!" Reginald stared at Veer without letting Veer have a chance to say anything. "Otherwise, everything will be too late if Master Eridan leaves because of his bad mo
"Don't worry. Once I'm done here, naturally, I will visit the mountains behind your residence. Once I've settled everything, all of you will be fine as well," Eridan spoke wisely to those from the Judd family.Reginald smiled and nodded. "While I am no longer the leader of the Judds of Wolsing, I can promise you that you will be the Judd family VIP if you can help us settle these problems. We will give you everything you want, whether money, prestige or something else!"Reginald knew how big the issue was. If Eridan could help them stop the looming danger, then whatever price they paid was worth it.Veer noticed how relaxed Eridan was, and he said nothing. Then, he even gave Marlee a look and told her not to say anything. Marlee upsettingly bit her lip, but in the end, she said nothing.Veronica smiled when she looked at Veer and Marlee, who had both taken a step back. "Father, Veer, don't you worry. With Master Eridan's help, I'm sure our family will be as prosperous as ever. Also
Originally, Veer had more faith in Harvey. But seeing that Eridan was already here and had helped deal with the problem, he had to show the geomancer some respect no matter what because he was the family leader. Especially when it was something huge like this when everyone within the Judd family who was of age would have half their body become numb. If they all fell, the Judd family would be halfway ruined.When Eridan noticed Veer, who had been so serious before, was forced to smile, Eridan smiled back at him and said, "You're welcome. Your father and I are old acquaintances, and I've come to change this place's configuration. However, now that your mother has become ill, everyone is saying that it's because of my insufficient skills."That is why I have to come to your residence one more time, whether out of my own accord or the Judd family. However, it's a little late to say this, so I think I should reveal everything so that you won't have any misunderstandings toward me!" Eri
When Marlee heard what Veronica had to say, Marlee snorted. "If that Master Eridan is really as good as you claimed, none of this would have happened at all."After hearing that, Reginald's expression turned dark before Veronica could even reply. "Marlee, there are some things that you can't just make offhand comments about. Master Eridan and his school served the royal court for centuries since the 12th century. Even when it was during the Braided Dynasty and the modern era, they still possess incredibly high status."Usual families wouldn't even be able to ask for their assistance. How can you be so ungrateful and talk behind his back after he was willing to help us a second time? I will let it pass this time, but if there's a second time, you'll be punished for this, understand?"When Veronica heard what Reginald had to say, she nodded, full of pride. "That's right. Someone like you shouldn't be questioning Master Eridan. What do you know? I'm your aunt, and I have much more expe
"Of course, you can. You're the leader of the Judd family!" Veronica said to Veer in a sarcastic tone. "However, to think that you've mistreated our mother… Aren't you supposed to resign already?"Veer coldly replied, "Don't worry. Even if I do resign, you won't be the next leader. So you can stop dreaming about it already."The corner of Veronica's lips twitched. She had wanted to say something else when an old man with white hair came out from the inner chamber at that moment. With a cold voice, he rebuked them, "Enough! Your mother is still unconscious in bed right now, but all of you argue amongst yourselves here. Where are your manners?"I have not been managing things for many years, but do I no longer have any influence within the family?"Veer narrowed his eyes a little when he saw the old man. Then, he stepped forward and bowed his head. "I understand, father."After seeing Veer's attitude, he turned his attention to Veronica and the others. "It's the same for all of you.
"It's your choice whether to believe it or not," said Harvey casually."Oh, come on," laughed Veer. "Since we've invited you all the way here, of course we believe you. Let's see… Please come this way."Then, Veer gestured and led him deeper into the estate. Harvey did not refuse and narrowed his eyes as he looked into the sky. He could already see a dark cloud gathering on top of the estate.In another courtyard, there was a huge lawn where a helicopter had landed. It was enough to show just how much wealth the Judd family had. But when Veer saw the helicopter, he was slightly surprised and asked, "Why is he back home?""He?" Harvey was quite curious. Veer was the leader of the Judd family. Could it be that someone else scared him within the family?When Veer saw Harvey's expression, he explained, "You probably didn't know this, but despite being the leader of the Judds of Wolsing, my father still has authority over me. However, he has been training in isolation all these years i
After a brief hesitation, Veer slowly spoke to Harvey. "Well… Let's start after you helped us deal with the problem haunting my mother. After that, all the seniors of the Judd family believed that there were some issues with the geomancy of this place. So, we were thinking of finding a new place to call home."However, the Judds are a big family. We have to make arrangements for many things. If we simply moved to another place, some might think that the Judd family is starting to fall. That's why we had to give up on moving, which meant the only other option left for us was to adjust the geomancy of this place."If you had asked me then, I would have asked you to help us with this since we shouldn't ask two persons to deal with the same problem. However, many elders rejected my proposal, saying you're too young and inexperienced."Ultimately, we asked Wolsing's top geomancer, Master Eridan, who has long stopped seeing any guests, to help us. Initially, everything went well. But afte
