“I disagree, Vice Master!”An elderly man stood up with a grim look.“We’re no different than cowards if we do this!”“We’ll become Country H’s biggest joke if we actually go through with this. How are we supposed to keep the underworld under control after this?”“Don’t forget! We’ve been protecting the country on the front lines since ancient times.”“If we back down right now, how are we supposed to see our ancestors without shame?”“You’re just a vice branch leader, Fisher! You only got permission to be here because you have the only remaining provincial champion with you!”“What right do you have to question the vice master?”An elder furiously slammed the table.“You said we should fight back, but what will you do if we lose?”“Who’s going to take responsibility?”“You?”“Are you even worthy?’Fisher glared coldly at the elder with immense authority.“If we do lose, our reputation might be thrown out the window! The Longmen Summit would be the biggest joke alive too…
“You should understand this, Vice Branch Leader Benett!”“Avoiding the fight this time doesn’t mean that we won’t fight another time. We’re only staying low for the time being!”“Next time, when our top talents look good enough to crush the Indians, we’ll just challenge them again.”“You should know that power doesn’t mean everything in this day and age. We need to think ahead!”“Hard work always pays off. There’s always time to take revenge!”“If the kings from ancient times only talked about blood and courage, we wouldn’t have enough rulers to last this long.”“If they couldn’t bear any sort of humiliation, how would they be able to rise in the future?”“Logically speaking, we should remain discreet and decline the challenge!”“So what if we endure a little bit of shame?” an elder added sternly.“We’ll just ask for forgiveness after the situation passes!”“If we lose this fight, we wouldn’t be able to fix the situation, even with our lives!”Fisher took a deep breath.“Vi
“It’s not that I don’t want to fight! We simply can’t!”Elder Steele sighed, a miserable look on his face.Naturally, it was hard for him to admit that the top talents of Longmen were inferior.Before Fisher could say anything, Bryce frowned for a moment, and narrowed his eyes at him.“Tell me, what are the chances of your champion winning against the Indians?”“I don’t know, but he managed to knock out every single one of his opponents with a single move.”“Compared to the other participants, his strength was simply overwhelming!”“Even if he can’t crush the Indians, it wouldn’t be hard for him to take down a few of them.”“Harvey York… Harvey York…”Elder Steele kept mumbling the name to himself before slapping his head in recognition.“I remember now! He’s the one who won against Bowen in a bet!”“That’s right! That’s him!” Fisher exclaimed.The elders felt relieved after hearing those words.After all, making someone like Bowen suffer was enough proof that Harvey was b
Not just Bryce, the elders were all in complete shock.‘He’s so arrogant!’‘He’s insane!’‘He’s out of his mind!’Before the higher-ups could make up their minds, this young man had already challenged all of India’s top talents.‘Is he just ignorant?!’‘Or does he really have the strength to do such a thing?’“This is insane! What’s that young man trying to do?”Bryce’s eyes sharpened into a deathly glare; he was so angry, to the point where his chest started to ache.Fisher’s eyes twitched frantically for a while before he said, “Harvey’s made up his mind!”“He wants to fight against all of them!”“What are you saying?!”Bryce slammed the table furiously.“Are you joking?!’“This is war!”“What does he think this is? A damn roleplay session?”“Who does he think he is?”“Can he even bear the consequences of this situation?!”“That b*stard!”“Goddamnit!”Bryce was trembling in anger; it was good Harvey wasn’t in front of him right now.If not, he would’ve slapped th
In a mountain valley shrouded by fog all year round, Longmen’s Three Inner Halls was located.A young girl in a white dress, looking like an innocent fairy, walked slowly out from the valley.She took every single step on top of trees and rocks. Even when she was standing on the edge of the mountain, it seemed like she was on flat ground.The winds of the mountain valley were fierce, but they only hastened her movements and didn’t bother her one bit.Right as she was reaching out to a blue lotus on the edge of the mountain, her phone started vibrating inside her little backpack.A tender voice could be heard when she picked up the call.“We have news from Longmen Headquarters.”“They need your help to reclaim Longmen’s reputation.”“You should go. Remember, don’t go easy on your opponents.”“The Indians are our enemies this time, not your brothers and sisters.”The young girl let out a voice of approval before frowning.She stood on a tree branch with the tip of her toe, and
At the same time, inside Martial Hall.Harvey spat his tea right on Fisher and another person in front of him.One of them was the vice branch leader of Flutwell’s Longmen branch.The other was the elder who decided to fight alongside him, Damian Steele, Elder Steele himself.“Elder Steele, Vice Branch Leader Benett.”“This is meaningless, don’t you think?”“I can deal with the Indians on my own! Why do I need three little brats to tag along?”The two elites came to commend Harvey for his courage, yet he didn’t hold back at all.Three sets of documents were set right in front of him.Harvey’s eyes twitched when he saw the little brats’ ages, along with other information.It would be easy for him to deal with the Indians. Al he needed to do was to slap the Indians out of commission…However, bringing the brats along would cause unnecessary trouble.Thus, Harvey decided to decline the request.More importantly, he had a lot of things to do; he really didn’t have time to baby
Harvey couldn’t reject Fisher and Damian at this point.He let out a sigh. “I appreciate your concern, but I really don’t have the time to babysit those three.”“Sigh! We’re not asking you to babysit them, Harvey.”Fisher smiled warmly at him. “Just treat them like the instructors you hired.”“You have Martial Hall under your belt right now. Surely you don’t have enough instructors to run your business.”“These three are top talents! With them around, your business will definitely grow!”Damian smiled.“That said, I’m afraid you’ll still have to take them with you.”“These children are excellent; they’re gifted people with amazing skills.”“That said, they’re too inexperienced. They’ll get into big trouble if they get tricked by the Indians.”“That’s why we need your help; just treat them as your backups. You don’t need to use them, but just make sure they’re with you at all times.”Damian let out a sigh.“It’s a shame we got the news too late. If we stopped the fights ea
Harvey took an hour or two of his sleep to read up on the three top talents’ information.After that, he couldn’t help but be impressed by them.Even he wanted to bring up a student or two with such talents.That said, this was still all up to chance; he was no longer the Head Coach of Sword Camp. The children weren’t his soldiers either.On the next day, early in the morning, Harvey was doing his morning exercise when Layne ran over with a horrified look.“What is it?”Harvey frowned.‘The students should be starting by now. Is someone trying to cause trouble now?’“Sir York, did Vice Branch Leader Benett talk about something of the three top talents recently?”Layne took out her phone before showing Harvey Martial Hall’s surveillance footage.Three people who seemed like they were under twenty years old could be seen on the screen.The girl had a fairy-like aura; one of the boys seemed quite shy, while the other one seemed extremely strong and tanned, resembling a small bl
