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
Many people from Country H went speechless after seeing the sight.They knew Philip Steele was one of the three young talents from Longmen’s Eight Inner and Outer Halls.He was one of the strongest people to participate in the fight…And yet he was at a disadvantage after the very first move! Longmen also had high hopes for him!The people just could not accept that fact.Even Fisher Benett and Damian Steele could not help but feel slightly anxious.While sitting in the eastern resting area, Rachel Hardy frowned when she saw the sight.“Looks like Camilo Myers is pretty impressive, Sir York.“Silk Boxing looks a little intimidating too.“Aren’t you afraid of Philip losing?”“It’s pretty impressive for young people to invent their own martial arts!“Camilo’s definitely one of the best in India…“But that doesn’t matter.“As long as I’m here, it doesn’t matter if Philip and the others win or lose.“Besides, I have nothing to worry. They’re the ones fighting in the ring.”R
Camilo Myers moved faster after being cheered on. He relentlessly threw his punch without fail.The people from Country H were frantically twitching their eyes after seeing the sight. They were extremely anxious when they saw Philip Steele being slowly forced back.Bryce Kennedy could not help but stand to watch whatever was happening inside the ring. He was afraid that this would be their very first loss…Rachel Hardy looked at Harvey York and said, “Sir York, the fight’s about to finish…“What’s going to happen next?”Harvey squinted at Philip before he cracked a faint smile.“Fighting spirit lies in the very first move…“Silk Boxing is quite something. Every single punch is faster and stronger than the previous one.“There’s no way to counter it once it’s started.“That’s why the simplest way to deal with it is to wait until an opportunity shows itself.“If Philip can see through this, Camilo will surely lose!”On the ring, Camilo threw his final consecutive punch.Right
In truth, Jesse did understand Harvey somewhat. He knew from the very beginning that with Harvey's character, he would not have killed Wilhelm.The reason he threw Harvey into prison was to protect him, other than it being the Xavier family's order as well. But he did not expect something like this to happen outside.Not only Donald had died, but all the young men and women he brought back also mostly died. All of them died the same way. They could not even resist, all of them slain in one slash. It was as if the person who killed them possessed incredible power and was very familiar with them.Other than Liza, who left the residence at the time, all the people from the other three Martial Arts Alliance who came back from overseas had been killed.The information was from Wolsing's precinct. It was absolutely unbelievable to them that something like this would happen at the country's seat of power. That was why the precinct contacted Wolsing's Dragon Cell, hoping they could work to
"Or maybe you forgot who you are, Jesse. How dare you conspire with the Islanders!" When Jesse heard Harvey's words, he narrowed his eyes. Harvey's questioning was sharp and dug into his heart. However, from Harvey's angle, he was not exactly wrong.Jesse took a deep breath and said, "I'm not going to lie to you. The Xavier family as a whole has its own considerations, as well as my own personal thoughts."But you are gravely mistaken. The Xaviers aren't conspiring with the Islanders. However, we simply don't want you to go to our family and mess things up before Yvonne is married. So… Harvey, stay here."On the one hand, this is for Yvonne's own good if you really care about her. On the other hand, isn't this my way of protecting you too? You can't imagine just how many people outside want you dead…"Firstly, I can understand why because I exposed just how shameless families like you are, despite my own contempt for it." Harvey shrugged. "But I don't understand your second point.
"We meet again, Harvey. What? Do you think Dragon Cell's fried chicken is to your taste, so you came in for a stroll?"At the same time when Donald was being killed, Jesse walked into the Dragon Palace's interrogation room and watched Harvey enjoying his fried chicken meal with a hint of helplessness on his face."I didn't want to, but they got me with some concrete evidence, so I have no choice," Harvey said as he put down his fork before turning over to Jesse. "I've got a few things I want to ask you, but you're quite hard to get a hold of. But I think it should be quite easy to see you here, so I came in.""Questions for me?" Jesse asked, confused. "That's why you're here?""What else?" Harvey said with a shrug. "Oh, right. I also want to see whether Wolsing's Dragon Cell has already completely fallen and if they can still uphold their justice and prove the ingenuousness of the innocents."If you can't prove my innocence in the shortest possible time, then I believe that Dragon
Liza chuckled when he saw Donald, who was so confident in his abilities. "If you put some more effort into it, with your abilities, there's no doubt that Harvey will die a terrible death, am I right?"Donald rubbed his swollen face. "That little bastard hit my face until it's all swollen. Of course, I must get back at him a hundred, no, a thousand times! Otherwise, all this pain and humiliation will be for nothing."Liza bowed. "He deserves it all." "Alright, I'll get some rest. After everything, I can feel my bones aching," said Donald as he set down his glass and walked to his bedroom.But the instant he went inside, he turned around to look at Liza. "Contact Mitsuki and ask if the Island Nation still has any other evidence. If there's none, ask them if she can fabricate something concrete soon. If we want to make this case as solid as possible, we also need other evidence! And I believe they have already prepared it.""Understood!" Liza nodded and immediately left to arrange i
Just as Harvey was imprisoned because of Rita's testimony, Donald returned to his mansion with a pleasing smile.While he had lived overseas, he had plenty of assets in Wolsing.On the one hand, it was to make some money. On the other hand, it was to have a place to stay. And his favorite place was Arcadia Garden located in the third rim of Wolsing. It was not spacious and had three courtyards, and the architecture was quite old, as if it had not been renovated for decades.That being said, Arcadia Garden's design was quite old, but all the antique, the pottery, the statues… All of them were pretty valuable. If one were to live in a place like this, they would no doubt lose themselves in a life of decadence, becoming full of themselves.At this time, someone pushed open the door into Arcadia Garden with a creak.Then, Donald walked into the estate with a gratified expression, sitting on the sofa in the living room."Hahahaha! What a show! Isn't that Harvey quite bombastic? Isn't
"Now that we have all the evidence, why don't you just surrender?" Mitsuki looked at Harvey with a smirk.Harvey calmly replied, "Firstly, I have no interest in framing you Islanders. Because logically speaking, the weak will frame the strong. In my eyes, all of you Islanders are nothing. You're not even on my radar."Secondly, if I really want to kill Wilhelm, will I be so stupid to kill him just after he and I were in a scuffle earlier? Can't I wait for a few more days?"Thirdly, you showed a fingerprint and said all the evidence is clear. But you can lift my fingerprints from my residence and my office."Fourthly, you Islanders have just used Donald and Wilhelm to threaten me, so they'll make me give up on the duel. But when that fails, I'm suddenly accused of being a murderer, as if I'll go to prison at any time."There are too many coincidences. I believe the one who killed Wilhelm is someone from Island Nation, so that you can frame me.""Us? Framing you?" Mitsuki said as i
Harvey did not expect Charlotte to be willing to fight the Shinto Way for him until the very end. However, he did not want Charlotte to fight for him now.Looking at the crowd gathering around them, itching to get a fight and the people from Dragon Palace… Then he noticed Mitsuki's deep smile…Harvey sighed.He did not mind fighting the Islanders here.But if he fought with the people from Dragon Palace because of him, no matter who won, it would be a disgrace if news of this spread. Harvey raised his right hand and said, "Charlotte, no need to fight here. Didn't Mitsuki say she has enough evidence to the point that the officers from Dragon Cell are with her? If that's the case, then let's investigate. I believe I can prove my own innocence.Harvey ignored them and left the ICU.When Mitsuki and Donald saw what had happened, they looked and smiled deeply at each other and quickly followed him.-Half an hour later. In the interrogation room, Dragon Cell Wolsing branch.As th
When Harvey looked at how righteous Mitsuki was trying to portray herself, he was unsure how to react.Meanwhile, Donald immediately gave Mitsuki a thumbs up and said, "Just as expected from one of the three primary disciples of the Shinto Way, Mitsuki! Not only can you fight, but you're also guided by righteousness! With Mitsuki willing to preside over what's right, this means that there's still justice in this world. It also means that in Country H, those with power will still be punished!"Then, Donald gave Harvey a complacent smile, feeling that Harvey would have to submit even if he refused.Charlotte frowned when she saw what had happened.The Islanders were known for their particularity. They would never act rashly before they had all the evidence.However, from Mitsuki's reaction… Could it be that Harvey really did kill Wilhelm? But Charlotte instantly felt that it was impossible. For someone like Harvey, if he really had something against Wilhelm, he would handle it on th
"You…" Donald was so furious that he could not stop shaking. "You're making things up, Harvey! Even if I wanted to do something like that, I wouldn't have killed Wilhelm! He's a dear friend!"Then, Harvey said, "Does that matter to a person like you? You can even kill your own father as long as the price is right, much less someone unrelated to you."Donald could not stop shuddering when he heard that. However, he knew that Harvey was not completely wrong."Mr. Harvey, are all people from your country just like you? Refusing to admit to the crimes you commit? But I have proof that you're the one who killed the deacon!" A cold voice came from the other side of the corridor at this time."We went to the crime scene where William was murdered just now. We found a longsword with your fingerprint on it. This is the smoking gun. What else do you have to say?"Harvey turned and looked at the owner of the voice. He was one of the three primary disciples of Shinto Way, Mitsuki. She walked
