Before long, frantic footsteps could be heard from outside.It was clear there were a lot more people outside, more than Jeff’s experts.Blood would fill up the entire building if the situation wasn’t handled properly!After hearing Harvey’s words, Jeff’s trusted subordinate stepped forward. The man screamed, “Even if you’re the head of Law Enforcement, what gives you the right to bark at Young Master Bauer?!”“Longmen and the Bauer family are two different things! You think you can just get involved with the family’s affairs so easily?!”People were completely moved by the subordinates’ words. They started screaming in unison.They were all claiming that the head of Law Enforcement had no right to take down Jeff.At the same time, a few other subordinates saw people with crossbows and sniper rifles peeking their heads out on the high ground, waiting for the moment to pull the trigger.“True, Longmen does not have the right to govern the Bauer family…”Harvey’s words made the
Swoosh!Harvey took the initiative and stepped forward.His movement didn’t seem fast to the naked eye, but it was quicker than anyone’s imagination.In a blink of an eye, he was already standing in front of Jeff.Jeff’s trusted subordinates couldn’t even react to the situation.Slap!Jeff, who was screaming to fight back, was instantly sent flying by a hard slap across his face; blood splattered everywhere as he slammed right into a pillar behind him.Before he could get back off the ground, a cold hand was already grabbing him by the neck.Slap!Harvey swung the back of his palm across Jeff’s face, waking up Jeff right as he was about to pass out.“You’re pretty boring, Young Master Bauer.”“Why do you always have to be such a glutton for punishment? I get so exhausted just by talking to you.”“I’m asking you this one last time…”“How will you choose?”The crowd was dead silent.‘How?!’‘How is this possible?!’Jeff was a martial arts expert!Even though he was no G
Out of the three young masters of the family, Jeff was a conceited man and Joseph had remained distant.Even so, the two were prominent figures who enjoyed being the center of attention.Harold was different; he had been loved by Grandma Bauer since he was a child. He had always been discreet and rarely showed himself to the public.The world knew that there were three young masters, but not a lot of people knew what Harold looked like or what he was capable of.After so many years, Harold quietly took control of everything Grandma Bauer handed to him.He was an extremely patient man as well; other than sending a few people to test Joseph after his failure…He didn’t attack Flutwell’s business alliance, nor did he try to take the properties all to himself.He was a ghost without a shadow.But when he showed up at this moment, everyone could tell just how powerful he was—his immense authority within the Bauer family was on clear display.His presence and attention alone had alr
“Of course, if you have to put it your way, I wouldn’t mind it.”“That said, I believe you’re a smart man.”“Why go against the Bauer family when you already have what you want?”“After all, there’s no grudge between us!”“Besides, the Bauer family and Longmen are different entities. However, the master of both had always been the same since ancient times.”“Even if you don’t respect me, at least think of that person as well.”“Can you only be satisfied by going against the Bauer family?”Harold showed a faint smile; an unspeakably grim yet insulting look could be seen on his face.Unlike Jeff and Joseph, Harold seemed more like the wolf in sheep’s clothing.Not only was he hard to deal with, but he was also quite the cunning and sinister man.Harvey narrowed his eyes at him for a while before revealing a faint smile.“You’re right about that.”“I can hand Jeff to you…”“But I have a few conditions.”“I’ll do everything I can, as long as it's in my power!” Harold replied
Rachel, who had a strong heart, couldn’t help but gasp upon hearing Harvey’s words.The Longmen Summit was only an event of the underworld, but top talents from Longmen, the Bauer family, and various martial arts backgrounds were involved with it.Safe to say that the champions of the provincial qualifiers were one of the best out of the younger generation…But before they could even participate in the actual Longmen Summit, they were already defeated by the experts from India!This was the equivalent of disrespecting all thirty-five branch leaders of Longmen! Rachel and the others were completely shocked by this.“You’re not joking, right?” Rachel asked.“How can I even joke about this?”Harvey took a deep breath and explained the entire situation.In recent days, Axel, one of India’s three Demon Monks who was as popular as Cody, led a group of experts to Country H.Out of fear for Harvey, he decided to challenge the provincial champions of the Longmen Summit first.Not only
“Everyone’s looking up about this right now!”“All of Country H is in an uproar!”“Some accused the Indians of being heinous, hiding their identities to challenge the champions so they’d let their guard down!”“Some were furious with the champions for challenging the Indians before they figured out their identities!”“Of course, there are people calling out Country H’s martial arts world to be filled with useless people, saying that Longmen is filled with a bunch of posers!”“The Longmen Summit has become the country’s disgrace!”“And it’s all because the thirty-five so-called provincial champions weren’t able to defeat a bunch of Indians!”“I heard that the vice master of Longmen, the person in charge of Longmen’s daily affairs, is holding an emergency meeting to figure out how to de-escalate the situation.”“The vice master?”Harvey frowned.“The master of Longmen isn’t taking action when this is going on? Is he really on his last breath at this point?”“Do we have any inf
Rachel chuckled bitterly.“Of course I know that, Sir York…”“But have you thought this through?”“You’re the only one left!”“How are you going to fight them? They’ll tire you out before you can even do anything!”“Even if Longmen gets thirty-six more young top talents to fight…”“What if they all lose again?”“Who’s going to take responsibility?”“The Indians are fully prepared for this. They said those things to the media because they’re confident in themselves.”“They were probably picked based on the weaknesses of the Longmen experts, too.”“If that wasn’t the case, they wouldn’t dare challenge the provincial champions after knowing that you participated in the Longmen Summit.”“If the Indians lose again, they’ll become the biggest joke of the entire world.”“The allies they gathered in the surrounding areas will flock toward Country H if they lose.”“This is definitely a big gamble for them.”“Not only are they trying to reclaim their pride, but they’re also plannin
Harvey couldn’t help but nod upon hearing Elanor’s explanation.As expected from Jeff’s military advisor; not only was her analysis extremely reasonable, but her thought process was quite thorough as well.Harvey took a sip of his tea, and then smiled.“So this means that the so-called war between the two countries is actually a front to attack me?”“They’re planning to hit two birds with one stone, aren’t they?”Rachel and Elanor looked at each other before nodding.“That’s right.”“Interesting.”“I wasn’t even planning to go for them, yet they’re already coming for me…”A playful look appeared on Harvey’s face.“If they want a fight, then that’s what they’ll get!”“Rachel, send word to Axel.”“Tell him I’ll challenge every single top talent of India on the peak of Flutwell seven days later.”“Tell them to come if they’re not scared to die!”“I’ll kill every single one of them if I have to!”…Right as Harvey declared a battle against the Indians…The Longmen Headquar
