“Oh? How beautiful are we talking about here?”Clyde Osborne seemed to perk up after hearing Ai Kamino’s words.Ai already prepared a few pictures on his phone this morning to send to Clyde.Clyde looked at his phone for a moment before he burst out laughing.“One’s a mature housewife, and the other’s an innocent school beauty. Interesting. These two are really intriguing…“Since it’s rare to get sisters like them, I’ll have to take action myself.Clyde then waved at the secretary not far from him.“Call Commissioner Thompson.”***While Clyde was making a phone call, Harvey York did not even care about the incident anymore.After taking care of Xynthia Zimmer, he called a cab to the center of Flutwell while curiously looking through the contracts.He came to an antique Budokan. It was as silent as the grave.The Budokan has more than a decade’s history. Bowen Lee inherited the place from his father. The name of the place was called the Martial Hall.The name was very clas
“There are about a hundred students here in the Martial Hall.“Teachers used not to have time for the students…“That was why we hired ten instructors to teach them.“Every instructor is an expert martial artist from a well-known family.“They are in charge of ten students each. They also do a pretty good job.“There’s no need for you to manage the Martial Hall after you take over.“With these instructors here, all you need to do is collect the money.Dillon Lee showed a pleasing look on his face.“You might not know since you haven’t seen the ledger, Sir York.“It wouldn’t be hard for the Martial Hall to earn fifteen million dollars annually.”Harvey was surprised.“You can get this much money just by teaching?”Dillon showed a proud expression.“Well, of course. The branch leader of Longmen’s Flutwell branch is teaching here. Training in this place is the same as being Longmen’s outer disciple. Anyone will look good when they enroll here.“Many wealthy heirs were willin
“Everyone! Let me have a few minutes of your time!Dillon Lee stepped forward and clapped his hands.“Please, quiet down.The instructors completely ignored Dillon and continued indulging the wealthy heirs.Some were even talking about tutoring the wealthy heirs in their homes, while others promised to be their bodyguards.The sight was just embarrassing.Dillon let out a cough.“Please, quiet down. Let me introduce all of you to someone…”“What’s the point?!”The only person not pampering the wealthy heirs was a woman with an angular face, completely surrounded by more people sitting in the middle.She had an extremely slender figure with a face as beautiful as a painting, but a bossy expression was clearly showing, making it hard for people to approach her.She glared at Dillon coldly and exclaimed, “Don’t you see that everyone’s trying to get closer to the students here?!“Why are you interrupting them?!“Didn’t I tell you that you have no say here?!“Or are you saying
Harvey York showed a profound look when he glanced at Dillon Lee.“Are you actually this inferior in the Martial Hall?”Dillon felt extremely awkward. He did not know how to reply at that moment.“Enough yapping!Layne Naiswell stared at the clock on the wall with an annoyed look.“Clean up the arena already! Remember to wipe down the equipment as well!“Class is about to start!“Are you doing it or not?! Get out of here if you’re not!”The other instructors were showing playful looks. Obviously, they would be more than willing to trample on Dillon.After all, even though they were from so-called sacred martial art training grounds, they were only outer disciples.They had no place in front of the wealthy heirs.That was why they wanted to step on someone like Dillon to show off their status.“You’re crossing the line!”Dillon could not hold back his feelings any longer. With his support standing beside him, he was planning to lash out…But at the crucial moment, Harvey w
Layne Naiswell was showing a fierce look at this moment.Though, she still looked gorgeous. She was being really harsh, but her exquisite face would make anyone want to do anything she commanded.Dillon Lee did not consider it that way at all. He was utterly insulted. He wanted to explain the situation, but he would not even dare.“What? A lackey like him isn’t sweeping the floor?”“He’s probably trying to steal some of our lessons! We were already being nice enough not to expose him…”“And yet he’s pretending to be some model when he’s supposed to sweep the floor!”“Who does he think he is?”“Does he not know that sweeping the floor comes before any lesson?”“What right does he have to learn if he can’t even do something as simple as that?”“Dillon too! He calls himself the top disciple of Longmen’s Flutwell branch, yet he can’t even teach someone how to sweep! No wonder Branch Leader Lee hired us for such a high price!”The students who changed into their clothes were also
“What?!”The crowd went dead silent.All the students were completely shocked.Even Layne Naiswell and the other instructors were in utter disbelief.Harvey York looked just like someone from the movies, casually sticking a broom into the ground just like that.What a dashing move.The students were only amateurs. They were only watching the show at this point…But the instructors were experienced. They could tell that Harvey was also the same.Many people could stick a broom to the ground, but it would be hard to control where it would land, as Harvey did precisely.Even Branch Leader Lee himself would not be able to do something like this.Harvey calmly looked at Layne before showing a faint smile.“Do you still think I’m here to steal your lessons?”“What’s the meaning of this?”Layne’s face darkened instantly. She felt her pride being trampled on…But even so, she still spoke with a horrible expression on her face.“Let me tell you something! Martial arts is all abou
Everyone showed odd looks as they stared at Harvey York.They were all curious about the new owner of the Martial Hall.Obviously, nobody knew if he had the strength to take control of the Budokan.After all, the instructors were quite hard to deal with.Harvey curiously looked around him. He could tell that the people here were harboring ulterior motives, but he could not be bothered.“Sir York, this is Instructor Naiswell, Instructor Lee, Instructor Jackson…Dillon Lee passionately introduced everyone to Harvey.“These instructors are veterans and elites of the Martial Hall. My teacher spent a lot of effort recruiting them here.”“Hello. I’m Harvey.Harvey politely greeted everyone.“Let’s work together.”As soon as Harvey was done talking, a strong and muscular man let out a cold scoff.“Why should we even work with you?“Without us, this place will be closed down in two months!”The other instructors coldly chuckled after hearing the burly man’s words. Harvey meant no
Harvey York did not mind the absurd demands, though.“Is there more?”“Of course there is!“You’re just an outsider, so you have no say in the management here!“Who we recruit and how we recruit them are all up to us!“You just come here every year to collect your dividends!“Well? Do you accept?”Dillon Lee was utterly shocked. He never expected the instructor would be this outrageous.The Martial Hall would basically be for rent if Harvey did as the instructors asked! All he could earn was just a little bit of rent money!His authority and management rights would be thrown out the window!“If you accept, we’ll keep working here!“If you don’t, we’ll quit and establish another Budokan on the opposite street!” said Layne Naiswell calmly.“We’ll give you one day! Give us your answer after that!“Now, get out of here already! Stop disrupting my class!“You won’t be able to take responsibility for this!”Harvey showed a faint smile after seeing Layne and the others banding
"Your life is worth so little and you want to drag us along to hell? Who do you think you are? All of you are just the same! Selfish to the core!" the woman yelled at Harvey. It was clear that no matter what Harvey did, she wouldn't like it.Harvey glanced at her and said, "We can forget a moment about how your Mr. Sverker is the one who wanted to die alongside me out of shame and anger, let's talk about you. Who else can you blame but yourself by wasting time here instead of running? Not to mention, he can't do anything to me even if he can slash time and the universe."You have overestimated Sverker. He's nothing but trash. I simply wanted to see how powerful the Sword Style Origin's technique is." Harvey then gave Sverker a look. "But at this level, I can easily dispel it with just one strike.""You…" Sverker was so angry that he shuddered. He wasn't going to waste any more time. He gritted his teeth and once again slashed at where Harvey was standing."Timely Slash!"A
"Is that right?" Harvey asked the woman.He looked at Sverker's dark expression."Oh, he's being that nice? Why not give me a few more concessions? Why don't you go easy on me and miss all three slashes?""Damn you! Damn you all!" Sverker's expression turned dark by Harvey's snickering. He pounced forward again. In just an instant, he already appeared before Harvey. His body suddenly swayed and separated into eight afterimages; all of them instantly slashed from all eight directions."Earthly Slash!"Whoosh!As Sverker made that attack, a screeching sound filled the entire marsh. Sverker attacked Harvey like a flash of lightning. The moment the blade almost reached Harvey, a dreadful aura expanded from it, as if a black light was covering the surface of the blade.The attack seemed to have come from the depths of Hell itself, carrying the wrath of countless ghosts.Harvey's expression was cold as his fist turned into a palm strike, and he attacked straight ahead. His attack w
"Idiot!" Sverker smiled coldly as his figure flashed as he pounced forth like a bolt of lightning. The sword in his hand was immediately pulled out from its sheath, like a shooting star across the sky.Compared to the attack just now, this attack was simply and much more direct. There wasn't even much strength behind it. However, those in the know would know that an attack like this was the most powerful.Sverker believed he could easily kill Harvey on the spot."So what if you defeated all the six schools? So what if you defeated all the prodigies from Country I? So what if you defeated Mark?" Sverker smiled coldly as he attacked. "All the so-called True Warriors were joking to me… Because I am the one who kills True Warriors!" Sverker smiled coldly as he unleashed his first strike."Heavenly Slash!" A scarlet light suddenly flashed through Sverker's blade. Harvey raised his head; the attack that was going to split the sky had arrived. Before the blade even reached h
"You're good… Very good!" There was shock in Sverker's eyes. "I don't want to admit it, but I have to. Country H really is a good place to give birth to someone like you. In twenty years…no, maybe in ten years, you'd be able to comprehend how to reach Unity between Nature and Man. In another fifty years, maybe you can even take that final step and ascend into the void!"Unfortunately, you met me. I will end your legend here. If it isn't because we each serve our own masters, I want to let you live and see just how far you can reach."Sverker's figure disappeared and then reappeared where he was standing earlier.One of the women became extremely excited when she saw this. She seemed to be trained in martial arts a little. "Here it is! Mr. Sverker is serious now! He's really making his move!"All the other women were shocked. When they exchanged glances, all they could see was the surprise in each other's eyes.Sverker used the legendary Sonic Blade already, but even that was
"Don't tell me you'll become more confident with these women cheering for you from the side," Harvey said, completely unaffected by the women's words. Instead, he even teased Sverker for it.Sverker used these women to strike at his morale, so Harvey wouldn't pull his punches. While the two of them hadn't crossed swords, their fight had begun from the moment they met."You have quite a sharp tongue!" Sverker said with a snort. He waved his hands, signaling the women to stop. After that, his right hand slowly reached for the hilt of his sword sheathed by his waist. He narrowed his eyes as he looked at Harvey. "You're quite arrogant! I really hope that you can still be as arrogant once I cleave you in half!"Harvey shrugged. "I think you're the one being arrogant here. Normally speaking, you should be the one begging for your life. Your so-called chivalry is to bend your knee to your betters, isn't it?""Fool!" Sverker cried; Harvey's words hit a nerve, and his right hand sudde
"Sverker?" Harvey said calmly. "If I remember correctly, this is the title of a mass murderer from the Island Nation that died in our hands. For you to give yourself the same name… Do you think you'll die just like that mass murderer in my hands?"Sverker was slightly stunned when he heard what Harvey had to say. Then, he laughed. "Die in your hands? You? Aren't you overestimating yourself a little too much? Do you think you're invincible after defeating all the prodigies of Country I and the Island Nation's Sword Saints?"I admit you're very impressive to have obtained the power of a True Warrior at your age, but that doesn't allow you to look down on everything! You're still too young and you don't have enough experience. You don't know just how wide the world is. There are plenty of people in this world who are more powerful than you!"I became a King of Arms when I was twelve, and a True Warrior at the age of eighteen! Since then, I've been trying to comprehend the path to r
"Not to mention, these are weapons that Grand City's top brass directly controls. If it isn't because I've taken control over Earth Hall recently, I wouldn't have been able to take these out," Clarion said with a sigh.Harvey nodded. "Looks like letting you control Earth Hall is one of my correct decisions after coming to Grand City."Then, Harvey narrowed his eyes and looked ahead. "Clarion. Take your men and attack from the outer ring. Do your best to reach the destination and save our people."Clarion blinked. "And you?"Harvey said, "Always go for the head. A truly powerful elite must be keeping an eye on everything. If we don't eliminate him, our rescue will be destined to fail."Harvey slammed his foot on the ground before jumping into the air, his figure quickly disappearing into the horizon. He noticed that there were plenty of elites converging. This was Sky Plane's territory. No matter how many he killed, his enemies would most likely swarm him.If that was the case,
While Clarion and Harvey were talking, the Origin Sword Style elites were already slowly coming closer.600 feet. 300 feet. 150 feet!As they drew closer, everyone could see their murderous expression. Their firearms already had their safety off. One could also see there were no longer any gaps in their encirclement.With how things were going, the only two options for Harvey and his men were to either get killed or to simply surrender.As they drew closer, not only was Clarion sweating, but all his bodyguards also had cold sweat on their foreheads.Only Harvey wasn't doing anything. He simply narrowed his eyes as if he was quietly calculating something. When there were only 60 feet left, he suddenly said, "You have two seconds."Harvey suddenly slammed his foot on the ground.Boom!A powerful shockwave extended outward, and all the Origin Sword Style elites surrounding them were subconsciously stunned. The shield they were holding momentarily left the ground."Warsong! Fire
At Clarion's order, all his bodyguards immediately dragged out several black suitcases. Within were black holes with blue bullets. It was obvious these bullets were created to be used on Martial Arts elites. The damage they could deal was beyond anyone's imagination.The bodyguards stood in front of Harvey and Clarion with the suitcases, ready to fight their enemies to the bitter end.When the Origin Sword Style elites saw how Harvey and the others reacted, they took out a shield and placed it in front of them. It was obvious they were prepared.Or perhaps, it was easier to say that the Origin Sword Style elites already knew what they had prepared.Clarion's expression darkened. "How did these fools manage to guess we're here with the Warsongs?"Harvey narrowed his eyes. "Is there a possibility that they didn't make a guess, but instead already received news about how many people we brought and what kind of weapons, so they could make preparations for us?"Clarion was stunned. "W
