Harvey stood up after getting a closer look.“Your father’s still alive.”“Not only that, he’ll be full of energy once I’m done treating him. He’ll be back to normal in no time.”“What? He’s still alive?”“You can save him?! How’s that even possible?”“That’s bullsh*t! He’s already dead! Everyone saw him die! How can you possibly save him at this point?!”“Did that guy say he could save the man?”“Maybe he has the connections to save him! Help is probably on the way!”“He’s waiting for someone else to save the man!”The crowd was gossiping up a storm after seeing Harvey’s calm expression.‘This is a Budokan, not a hospital.’‘Does he think he can revive the dead? Who does he think he is?’The hunk and the others glared coldly at Harvey; they didn’t believe that Harvey could actually see through their tricks.“I’ve already called the cops, Sir York. You don’t have to…” Dillon said, his face awful. “Get me the axe. I’ll be treating this man with that.”Harvey immediately
“I got your father back up.”Harvey let go of his axe and stepped forward calmly. Then, he kicked the hunk to the ground.“Now, shouldn’t you be giving me an explanation about this whole situation?”“You’re pretty bold to use the Turtle Breath here. Quite impressive…”“The only problem is that this old man here is afraid of dying.”“If he’d just let me chop his head off, I would’ve been the dead one.”“What a shame…”The hunk glared furiously at the old man.“Who told you to wake up, you b*stard?!”The hunk had a gloomy look on his face.He had basically admitted that he was trying to blackmail Harvey.“Talk. Who sent you?” Harvey demanded coldly.The hunk gritted his teeth.“Nobody! This all happened to my father because you’re not good at teaching! You led your students astray!”“Stop spouting nonsense about Turtle Breath or whatever…”The hunk felt completely powerless when he tried to refute Harvey. After all, what had happened had already proven that he was here eit
Harvey’s face darkened in an instant.He didn’t think the enemy would prepare martyrs just to deal with him.This was just shameless!Dillon was shocked.“What do we do now, Sir York?!” he exclaimed, panicky.“What else? Call an ambulance!” Harvey replied, a horrible look on his face.There were a lot of people to testify about what happened in the Martial Hall, but Harvey would still get into a lot of trouble if so many died there.There were at least a dozen lives at stake, after all.Even if Harvey wasn’t responsible for the deaths, the reputation of the place would still be affected. If the government were to get involved in the situation, the Martial Hall would be shut down for good.Even if Harvey had a lot of connections, he still needed to be careful about public opinion.That was why Harvey decided that it would be best if he called an ambulance to get the people out of the place.He then gave Kayden a call so the latter could deal with the situation.It was best f
“Simply put, Holland Lee owes Wilbur Lee a favor!“Besides, Holland had been mooching off of Wilbur and owed him a lot of money.“Surely, he’ll have to pay the price if needed.“For example, a mass poisoning.”Harvey York put on a frown.“Are your sources trustworthy?“Are you sure that a small fry like Wilbur was the one who orchestrated such a big incident?“This looks like something Joseph Bauer or Clyde Osborne would do.”“That I can’t quite figure out.Kayden Balmer showed a helpless look.“You should know I met all kinds of people after fighting my way through Flutwell’s underworld…“But they aren’t people with immense authority either. All the information I can get is mostly kept under the table.“You’d need George Zabel to help you if you want more.”“He won’t be able to do much. If someone’s willing to use such a heinous trick against me, they’ll surely have safeguards against us,” replied Harvey.“Even if I ask George for help, he’d only be able to find out what
It was obvious Wilbur Lee managed to cling to someone more powerful.That was why he became a lot more arrogant when he spoke compared to before.“What a disgrace!“Our mighty Branch Leader Lee spent decades building the Martial Hall’s reputation!“And then you took down your own sign as soon as the place was handed to you!“What? People found out that you don’t know martial arts? Do you think you can change your luck after changing the sign?“How naive can you get?!”The people around Wilbur were laughing out loud, as if they were looking at a clown in front of them.“Wilbur, right? Was the lesson from last time not enough for you?Harvey York merely shrugged.“You want me to teach you a lesson you won’t forget?“How b*tchy can you get?Harvey disdainfully glared at Wilbur’s longsword before heaving a sigh.“I was wondering why you have no self-awareness at all…“You’re just a sellout, after all!“You just cling to whoever’s powerful enough to support you!“It doesn’t
Obviously, the experts were the previous instructors of the Martial Hall who came from sacred martial art training grounds.Those people were showing proud looks on their faces as they glared at Harvey York.Harvey squinted after seeing those people. He could tell that they were up to no good.At the same time, Harvey was sure that Wilbur Lee was just another pawn and that someone else was behind him.It was not that Harvey looked down on Wilbur. It would be out of the ordinary if someone with Wilbur’s status could get Layne Naiswell and the others to come here.Wilbur disdainfully looked at Harvey before jumping onto the hood of his car with a microphone in hand.“Everyone! You’re all familiar with Instructor Naiswell here! She was Martial Hall’s lead instructor!“The other nine instructors were also founders of the place!“Not only are they extremely knowledgeable and skilled, but they are also very considerate and passionate about martial arts!“They disagreed with the Mart
“You’re right,” said Harvey York without giving a straight answer.“Your gimmick isn’t bad, but it’s just scare tactics at most.“You’re probably planning to take money in other ways, like clothing, meal, and tutor fees at this point.“Or maybe the ten-cent enrollment needs to be drawn as a prize?“Do you think we’re all idiots or something?”The excited people froze instantly after hearing Harvey’s words. They immediately stopped themselves in their tracks.‘He’s right!’‘If Wilbur Lee decides to play small tricks like this, everyone’ll be fooled into it!’‘Does he think we’re all idiots?!’“Don’t worry!Wilbur was boiling in anger after seeing his well-laid plan about to be foiled.“I’ll accept any amount of students to enroll here! Food and uniforms are also on the house!“We won’t play any tricks on our students after the ten-cent payment!“After all, we’re doing this for the people!”The people had riled up once again after hearing Wilbur’s words.In just a moment,
“Of course not.Harvey York cracked a smile.“I was worried that the Martial Hall would be completely empty…“But, I think the place is about to become famous when someone’s advertising for us that well.”Dillon Lee and Kayden Balmer froze.“What do you mean?“They’re the ones enrolling people for a dime.“They’re even giving out free food and robes!“They’re burning their money just to get rid of us!”“Since they want to spend this much money, we’ll just help them spend even more!“Come. You should upload a few clips to Durin. Advertise the clips well so the People’s Budokan gets known.“You send the clips to every major television and radio media. Call up the news platform as well.“Tell them that everyone can claim free robes and food here!“Tell them that the owner’s also a gracious man, and he’s able to sustain his business with just a dime per enrollment…“I do want to see how much money Wilbur can burn from his support!”A dime to enroll in the People’s Budokan wh
"I'll give you ten minutes to walk out of there without your clothes on! If you do that, I won't kill anymore of your bodyguards. If you're still not here in ten minutes, then I'm sorry, but the flames will consume you. I'll remember to visit you at your grave next year!" Sora laughed strangely after that.Everyone who heard his laughter could only feel a chill in their bones as they felt disgusted. Mandy's expression became even darker. She did not refuse him immediately, though. While she knew he was playing a game of cat and mouse, those ten minutes might just be enough to save them.-At the same time. Outside of the manor. Sora and his group of confidantes had already arrived at the entrance of the manor. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the terrace. After he waved his hands, his confidante spread out and sealed the remaining entrances.Next to Sora was a swordsman with a mustache. His eyes were full of spirit. It was obvious that he was an elite, the kind who could crush al
"Watch out!" It was at this time when Seven suddenly pulled Mandy over to the side, as his expression darkened. At the same time, one of the pieces of ballistic glass shook and fell on the floor. Then, bolts that seemed like rain stormed into the terrace, falling right where Mandy was standing.If it was not because of Seven's quick actions, Mandy might have already become a human pincushion. She was immediately covered in cold sweat. While she had personally grown and become a successful businesswoman, she had never been in many of these kinds of life and death situations.Whoosh!It was as if the people outside had noticed an opening, they continuously fired the Repeating Crossbow. As they did that, one of the bodyguards who could not dodge in time collapsed on the ground as he held his thigh. A bolt pierced through his thigh, and he immediately lost his ability to fight.Mandy quickly said, "Quick! Drag him over! It's too dangerous over there!"The two bodyguards trembled, and
"Ms. Mandy, you should run now! Run from the back! I can still hold them up for about 15 minutes!" Seven said in a bitter voice as he peeked outside from the door's gap from inside the manor. "If you don't, we won't be able to escape once they rush in. We're almost out of ammo. If we don't fight our way out, we'll all end up dead!"Mandy hesitated a little when she saw how Seven was becoming somewhat concerned and said, "Sure. We'll leave from the back door. But they're here for me. I can't escape. All of you should go and I'll cover you!"Mandy's expression was resolute. Seven was slightly stunned before saying, "Don't joke about something like that, Ms. Mandy. While I'm not one of your followers, but as a bodyguard of the Jeans of Mor'du, there's no way I can escape before you have safely retreated. If I do that, not only will I be unable to face the family, but I also won't be able to face myself and stay in this world!"All the bodyguards exchanged looks and said, "That's right,
The young man in the white suit was not that old. He was at least in his mid-twenties. However, his cheeks were somewhat red. It was obvious that years of excessive drinking and womanizing have left him too depleted for anything to be able to help him. But even then, he still looked in front with greed and obsession, as if wanting to push the woman in the manor to the ground and tear her apart.It was obvious that this man was the scion of the Origin Sword Style, Sora Yamamoto.Sora did not think much about the death of the Origin Sword Style elites. He did not even feel much about their death, as if their death had nothing to do with him."Sir, it's not that the woman is strong. It's the simple fact that no one expected her to have the Royal Flush with her… And she has plenty of it too. From the results of us testing her, the woman isn't saving the Royal Flush for something else when she had her bodyguards use them. I suspect that she had an unlimited supply of it.""You idiot!" S
"Too weak," Harvey sighed. In the next instant, he lifted his right foot and planted it on a broken piece of rock. Instantly, the rock shot out and headed straight to Sverker's throat. It was obvious that Harvey did not wish to leave the Origin Sword Style's number one elite alive."You fool…!" Sverker's entire soul was shuddering as he could feel Death coming for him. He let out a roar and all the energy within his body started to flow, wanting to use that to stop Harvey's attack. However, his thoughts were faster than he could act.The moment he wanted to fight back, he could feel the taste of blood in his mouth. The small rock had already pierced through his throat. In that instant, Sverker's thoughts instantly stopped as he lost the strength to struggle. Then, he collapsed on the ground just like that.There was anger, despair, and even doubt in his eyes.He could not believe that as an elite of the Origin Sword Style, as one of the few most powerful men in Sky Plane, how he en
When the palm strike was going to reach Sverker, Harvey changed his palm strike into a finger strike. He flicked his finger at the edge of the blade.Clank!"Gah!"Sverker seemed shocked as his body shook. There was even blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. He was in a terrible state as he took a few steps back."Mr. Sverker!" All the women cried out at the same time, with shocked expressions. They could not believe that not only did Harvey manage to easily block the legendary Three Slashes, but most importantly he was able to force Sverker some distance back with just the flick of his finger!He was beyond terrifying!"Damn you, kid! Do you think this is my full power?" Sverker's temper was at boiling point after the continuous failures as he gritted his teeth. "I will send you to Hell with all three slashes fused into one!""I better be the one sending you to Hell. I'm already bored with your sword technique," replied Harvey casually. Before Sverker could even attack,
"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
