After hearing Danny Burton’s words, Ryland Burlowe spoke up beside him.“Master Garcia, judging from the footage, Amber Levine and the others seem to be really knowledgeable at this point! They must be on par with a King of Arms as well…“And not just a beginner King of Arms either. They’re probably just one step away from becoming Gods of War.“The people here are exceptional. They’re in an entirely different league compared to the others of the same age, but they’re only Kings of Arms at best!“They have no chance of winning against Amber and the others!“Even if the three young talents have no experience in the outside world, their skills alone are definitely enough to make up for that!“The people here will surely lose if they go up against those three!”Zoe Garcia showed a faint smile.“Master Garcia, why force these people to embarrass themselves when they’re apparently out-skilled?” said Zoe with an apathetic tone.“What we need to show the world right now is our streng
“That said, you mentioned this to us when we were summoned!“You told us that we came to take revenge for Cody Garcia!“Not only are we trying to reclaim our fame, but we’re also going to crush the b*stard who tarnished our reputation and humiliated us!“We’ll force him to bear the shame for the rest of history!“But you haven’t even mentioned him once!“Isn’t he going to join the next fight?“I heard that he was calling us to the peak of Flutwell a week later. He claimed he was going to beat us all by himself, didn’t he?”Ryland Burlowe and Zoe Garcia were showing serious expressions on their faces after hearing about Harvey York.After all, that was the man who managed to defeat one of the Three Demon Monks.Even though people were spreading rumors, saying that Harvey won with underhanded tactics…Those three top talents knew that a win was still a win. This alone was enough to prove Harvey’s skill.Compared to Amber Levine and the others, they were more cautious toward Ha
A couple of days had swiftly gone by.Not only was Mandy Zimmer discharged from the hospital, but she was also back to work.Harvey York wanted to visit, but Lilian Yates was completely infuriated after recovering from her injuries.Harvey decided not to go after thinking that Lilian would definitely affect his mood.After telling Kayden Balmer to take care of the Hearthstone Corporation’s business, Harvey quietly waited inside the Martial Hall for his time to fight the Indians.While this was happening, Amber Levine, Philip Steele, and Albus Robbins had been asking him all sorts of questions.In their eyes, Harvey was just a rookie. They really believed they had no choice but to deal with the experts all on their own.Harvey did not say a word to clarify the misunderstanding.It would be good if the three young ones could deal with the Indians.After all, there would only be new talents if the younger generation surpassed the older ones.All of Flutwell was dead silent. It w
“Master York? I heard a lot of great things about you.”Right as Harvey York was walking to the east resting area where Country H’s fighters were, he bumped into Axel Garcia, Danny Burton, and the others.Axel showed a warm smile before he passionately reached his hand out.“I heard your name so many times in India that my ears are about to burst at this point!”“But truthfully speaking, this is still our first time meeting each other!”“You’re just like the rumors say you are. Not only are you a young and talented man, but you’re also the pillar of your entire country and Longmen’s pride!“Though there’s a saying that I’m sure you know of, ‘The bigger you are, the harder you fall!’“Your reputation precedes you, but just like the well-known generals from ancient times, you probably won’t be able to live long enough!“Ah! I shouldn’t have said that in front of you…”Axel showed a fake smile.Danny and the others sized up Harvey. They read quite a lot of documents about the ma
“Maiden Garcia, to be honest, compared to so many top talents from India, I look up to you the most!Harvey York did not even try to hide his admiration toward Zoe Garcia at that moment.“Not only did the legends say that you’re the most beautiful woman from India, but you’re also the strongest!“What an honor to finally meet you!“I have dozens of chain Budokans under my name…“Would you be interested in being one of the instructors?“Don’t worry! You can be a nominal instructor if you want!“And if you do join, I’ll also hand you thirty percent of the Budokans’ shares! I’ll pay you fifteen million dollars as your annual salary as well!“I can even guarantee that the Indians won’t be able to cause you any trouble for this!“If you give me the sign, we can share all this happiness together!“You can earn at least a hundred and fifty million a year with me! You can even have billions of dollars when the Budokans get listed on the market!”Harvey showed a sincere look, as if h
Harvey York showed an attentive look when he stared at Zoe Garcia’s back.“We can still talk about this if this isn’t enough for you, Maiden Garcia!“I’ll give you as much as you want!“If a hundred and fifty million isn’t enough, I can even give you 1.5 billion!“As long as you give me a chance, I’m willing to give you everything I have in Flutwell!”Zoe staggered as soon as she heard those words. She was panicking when she ran away…She knew that those words would make her a target for her people.Even when everyone knew that Harvey intended to cause infighting, the top talents still showed weird stares when they glared at Zoe.On the one hand, Harvey looking up to Zoe that much was the same as him belittling everyone else.Even if they actually won the battle, Zoe’s name would be known worldwide.On the other hand, the price Harvey offered was just too high.The others would definitely take the money without any hesitation.They only wondered how overwhelmed Zoe’s heart
Rachel Hardy smiled without saying a word.Harvey York was playing tricks in the face of his enemies. This was a lot different compared to underhanded tactics.If Zoe Garcia were forced into limbo because of this, then that would be her problem.She was the one who got herself into the situation anyway.When fighters from both sides arrived, a member of the Far East Martial Arts Alliance stepped on the platform and announced the rules.Since there were eighteen top talents who came from India, Longmen could also have eighteen fighters in total.That said, the participants would have to be the ones who joined the Longmen Summit.Longmen’s strongest fighters were all excluded because of this.That said, the Indians came to fight Longmen anyway. This was only natural.After assembling all fighters, three battles would be held every single day.Whoever defeated the opponent inside the ring or forced them out would be considered victorious.The winning side could choose to keep f
“Longmen’s about to lose this!”“Harvey York was talking big before! Why doesn’t he just fight the first battle himself?!”“The first fight will decide the rest of the team’s morale! He’s probably not that confident in himself!”Gossip could be heard throughout the place when Philip Steele and Camilo Myers walked to the center of the ring.People were debating who would win the first fight…The crowd was dead silent when the host declared the fight to commence.Camilo showed a faint smile before he wore a pair of silk gloves.He then calmly hooked his finger toward Philip.A simple movement was enough to show Camilo’s extreme confidence.Bryce Kennedy and the others frowned when they saw the sight.They could tell that Camilo was a formidable opponent.“Let me introduce everyone…”Axel Garcia stood up and smiled at the people around him.“Camilo came from India’s Celestial Temple. He had been training since he was seven! When he was seventeen, he was already a King of Arms
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
Boom! Boom! Boom!There was a string of explosions in mid-air. The bolts had also been engulfed by the explosion. Even after Harvey had managed to negate the attacks, he didn't stop. He grabbed the rocks from the ground with his hand.Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!Several elites hidden in the shadows instantly lost their fighting skills."He really is a True Warrior," Clarion muttered when he saw what happened. He wasn't even sure what to say.He thought he should be able to put himself to some use this time, hence why he asked to come with Harvey. He didn't expect Harvey to be so powerful that he needed others at all.Very quickly, all the attackers gathered. It was obvious they knew they couldn't do anything to Harvey anymore."These people are from the Origin Sword Style!" Clarion said seriously after he looked at what the attackers were wearing. "They're quite troublesome. While they look like they're over-the-top, they're most likely sacrificial soldiers. But the problem is t
"Of course, if we can maintain absolute discretion, we can escape without alerting anyone once we find Ms. Mandy," Clarion said, remaining positive. "That way, we don't have to fight and draw the attention of those who hold power in Sky Plane."Harvey was sitting in the van. He frowned and looked at the buildings with clear Island Nation influence. "Since Daichi is blackmailing me using Mandy, that means they're confident we won't be able to take her away. I believe we'll have to fight with those from the Origin Sword Style today."Harvey gave it a thought for a while and said, "And don't you think that the information Vaida gave us is too accurate? As if someone left behind an opening for us."Clarion's eyes widened. "Don't tell me this is a trap just for us?"Harvey shook his head. "Not only for us, but also for Grand City. If we're really stuck here… It doesn't matter if we're killed or captured alive, we'll become the excuse for them to attack Grand City. This time, we must…"
Sky Plane's countryside, Clover Hotel.In the Clover Hotel's VIP area, a mansion at the edge of the hotel, Mandy was looking outside with a deep frown. At this time, someone gently knocked at her door from the outside."Come in," Mandy said.The leader of the security team, Seven Jean of the Jeans of Mordu, came in. He bowed to Mandy with respect before saying calmly, "Ms. Mandy, according to the information I've received, the women you've saved have been sent out of Sky Plane. I've also confirmed the people we came into conflict with. He's Yamamoto Sora, scion of the Origin Sword Style."The school's status is very high in Sky Plane. While we managed to get some protection for the time being, I believe we won't be able to make this disappear so quickly. Our visa only has an effective duration of seven days. Once the time is up, Sky Plane will have an excuse to remove all the security here. We'll be in danger when that happens."I think we should leave Sky Plane immediately whil
Mandy reacted very quickly, as if she understood something. She quickly said to Harvey through the phone, "I'm on the sixth floor of a hotel! I…"Before she could even finish, Daichi had already hung up the call with a tap. He then gave Harvey a meaningful look. "There are some rules you should keep, Mr. Harvey. Otherwise, if the people from Sky Plane's side have a misunderstanding, I can't tell what will happen next."Alright. Let's get into the main topic. Ms. Mandy is very safe right now, but I believe that her safety can only be maintained for two to three days. My men can't continue protecting her without a good reason, right? "Once it has been confirmed that there's nothing here that I want, my people who maintain her protection will be pulled back immediately. No one can tell what will happen after that."Daichi gave Harvey a dry smile. "That's why you'll be in control of Ms. Mandy's life and death. We are people who keep our side of the deals. We hope you can maintai
Harvey's expression was calm as he said coldly to Daichi, "No matter how good and logical you make it sound, the truth is, you're threatening me. Rather than being threatened by the Sky Plane, why don't you stick around and be my hostage for an exchange?"As soon as Harvey had finished saying that, he slammed his hand on the table. A piece of wood immediately fired out from the table and pierced into the chair's backrest, just next to Daichi's ear.However, Harvey was in for a surprise. Even in a situation like this, Daichi was still able to maintain his calmness as he continued to enjoy his meal. It was as if the one about to die here wasn't him.Once Daichi had chewed his food slowly and swallowed it, only then did he smile at Harvey. "Mr. Harvey, or Mr. Representative. Do you really think fighting can solve everything? It's true I'm from the branch family of the Ruling Royal Family and the blood of royalty flows in my veins, but there are too many like me. So many that I am eas
"Most importantly, this matter with Ms. Mandy happened in Sky Plane—which means outsiders can't enter quietly and save her," Daichi said to Harvey with a smile. "But don't worry, Harvey. We know Ms. Mandy is yours, so we'll find a way to keep protecting her. How to protect her and for how long would depend on your sincerity, though."Harvey's expression was cold as he said slowly, "And here I thought you'd tell me you'd do everything to protect Mandy, making a show despite how shameless you are. I didn't expect you to be so direct—in threatening me! If I refuse your request, Mandy will immediately fall into Sora's hand, right?"Daichi smiled faintly. "You're indeed a perceptive and decisive man. It makes things easier for me to work with someone like you. I will tell you what you need to do—or perhaps, it's easier for me to say what price you need to pay for Mandy's return."Daichi took a final bite of his fish and said with a smug smile, "It's simple. Give me the Chapter of Ascensi
Daichi smiled faintly and said, "I know very well that in the eyes of people like you, Islanders like us are detestable. Speaking with us, working with us, and even eating a meal with us is quite disgusting, right?"However, we must all learn to be patient. It has already happened for quite some time. Is there a point in rushing through these few minutes? It's better for us to share a good meal and have a chat afterward."Daichi slowly partook in the meal, putting a piece of fish into his mouth and chewing slowly. At the same time, he narrowed his eyes as he looked at Harvey, his eyes filled with subtle amusement.Daichi found the meal before him quite enjoyable. He also found himself quite satisfied looking at Harvey showing a hint of irritation."Looks like you really think that you have me under control," Harvey said coldly. "But I can tell you that by just sitting here, my patience is already at its limit. I have a habit, too. Rather than being threatened by someone, I prefer t
