After seeing Niko Burton’s back, Axel Garcia showed a stern look on his face.“India’s reputation is in your hands now, Niko! Give it all you’ve got! We cannot afford to lose this!”“Don’t worry, Master Garcia! I will not dishonor our name!” replied Niko with a cold tone.Then, he walked to the center of the ring before coldly glaring at Harvey York and the others.“I’ll handle this one!”Even before Harvey could say anything, Albus Robbins showed a faint smile before he took off his shirt, revealing his bronze skin as he stepped into the ring.He then squinted at Niko.“Since you’re also a brute-force learner…“I won’t go too hard on you.“I’ll let you throw three punches at me for free! If I even take a step back, you win!”‘What the f*ck?!The host was flabbergasted.‘What’s wrong with this kid?!‘Why would you start running your mouth even before I explain the rules?!‘You’re letting your opponent throw three punches at you?‘How much of a show-off can you be?!’Rac
“What? Did nothing happen to the kid?”“He can speak as usual! That punch clearly didn’t do anything!”“Look at the replay!”“The kid didn’t even sway one bit, let alone take a step back!”“People who didn’t know might just think that the Indian was tickling him or something!”“If that were actually the case, the Indian must be pretty useless then!”“He showed off this hard, yet this is all he can do?!”“How is he not embarrassed?! He’s so weak!”The crowd was gossiping out a storm. They were constantly throwing insults at Niko Burton without pause.Niko’s expression instantly worsened.He took a deep breath without saying a single word before throwing another punch at Albus Robbins.At this moment, he was using all of his might.He knew that the Indians could not afford to be embarrassed again.Bam!Along with the loud sound, Niko’s punch came in contact with Albus’ chest…But before he could show a prideful look on his face, his body shuddered before he was sent flying
Longmen also showed their appreciation.Bryce Kennedy, who was in charge of daily necessities, sent over a lot of elixirs along with other expensive gifts.On the one hand, this was a reward for today’s battle. On the other hand, he wished for Harvey York and the other young talents to continue crushing the Indians as usual.After all, the Indians were already trampling all over them in the first place.Not only did the higher-ups from Longmen feel extremely relieved after the fights, Longmen’s reputation had also mostly been reclaimed.They even found many ghostwriters to publicize what happened today.After a good meal, Harvey brought Amber Levine and the others to the backyard garden.While they were fighting in the ring, George Zabel, Kayden Balmer, and the others were not slacking off either.They used all their sources and a lot of money to find information about Danny Burton and the others.Harvey brought over documents of the top Indian talents and got Amber and the ot
“I wouldn’t mind sacrificing for my country if you’re my target.”Zoe Garcia showed a faint smile before gesturing, leading Harvey York into the box that had been prepared ahead of time.Harvey sat down and picked up a teacup before returning the smile.“I’m a good man, Maiden Garcia. That’s a little disrespectful, don’t you think?“The honey trap won’t work.”“Whether it’ll work or not depends on your attitude,” replied Zoe.“My attitude?”Harvey showed a playful look.“So, it won’t be easy for me to have a meal here?“This is obviously a trap for me…“So, what do you want from me exactly?“There’s no need to hold anything back. Why don’t you tell me everything instead?”Zoe heaved a sigh with a helpless expression on her face.“Don’t you realize why I brought you here?“You set me up on the very first day, breaking me off from the other Indians. They’ve been doubting and isolating me since then!“And now, after fifteen straight losses, all of them are directing their a
“I’ll get to that.”Zoe Garcia showed a warm smile before bringing a golden box from under the table and pushing it toward Harvey York.Her jacket slipped away from her, revealing her tender-looking shoulders while pushing the box.Then, she leaned over, as if she did not realize anything that was happening.“Sir York, India’s royal family wishes you to join our ranks!” said Zoe in a soft tone.“The royal family will make you a Brahmin if you do!“The future generations of your family will have the same treatment!”Harvey squinted after hearing those words.‘These people are quite something…The Indians knew that Harvey was not short of money. That was why they were using the title as a bargaining chip.Zoe, Axel Garcia, Cody Garcia, and Frankie Garcia were only Kshatriyas…And yet they offered Harvey a higher position than all of them.Simply put, if Harvey agreed to the deal, he could make anyone in India kneel!He would even be on par with the prince of India. The futur
“Your strength and abilities are definitely worthy of those rewards!”Zoe Garcia showed a sweet smile.“Of course, to show that you’re willing to become one of us, I’ll need a little proof from you.“After all, all 1.3 billion people in India are dying to be Brahmins.“Since India’s willing to sacrifice so much for you, you should at least make them understand that you’re worth this much, right?“If not, how are you going to please the crowd?“Proof?”Harvey York showed a faint smile.“Don’t tell me it’s about tomorrow’s fight.”“Smart man, Sir York. You got me.Zoe smiled.“Master Garcia said that if Amber Levine and the others lose their fights tomorrow…“We’ll give you the money and the badge on the spot!“Your other rewards will be prepared immediately after!“At the same time, we’ll prepare a private jet for you to travel to our mighty country!“If you want to bring your friends and family along, we can arrange that as well!“We’ll ensure that you live comfortably
Zoe Garcia froze.Harvey York’s words startled her. In her mind, Harvey would have firmly rejected the offer.She quickly regained her smile before quietly replying, “Of course!“That said, I’m still not ready yet. Why don’t we get some time after tomorrow, Sir York?”Harvey seemed a little annoyed after hearing Zoe’s words.“Are you going back on your word now?” asked Harvey coldly after taking a deep breath.“You’re making me work without me getting anything in return?“Of course, I need something good first before getting to work!“If you don’t want to do it right now, we can do this another way!“Here’s my card. Give me my money first!“You don’t have to worry about me running away either!“After all, I’m more interested in you!“I’m craving for your body already!”Harvey pulled out his bank card before slipping it into Zoe’s hand.Zoe’s smile instantly froze. Everything that Harvey did had completely caught her off guard.In her mind, Harvey would decline the offer
“Alright. That’s enough for today, Maiden Garcia.“Go back and tell Axel Garcia something for me.“Schemes don’t work like this. If he wants to make empty promises, at least show the real stuff first.“People aren’t stupid nowadays.“I have had no interest in your offer since the beginning, but I am interested in you.Harvey York held Zoe Garcia’s hand quietly before taking back his card with a profound smile.“Maiden Garcia, some of the things you’re promising me are just too good to be true. Those things are simply out of reach…“But not the Martial Hall.“We’ll still welcome you with open arms when you’re ready!“I don’t go back on my word…”Then, Harvey chuckled before walking away.Zoe’s mouth twitched when she was utterly enraged. She quietly put her hand back in her bag soon after.A card slipped out without a sound.Right when Harvey retrieved his card, he snuck another into Zoe’s hand.Zoe glanced at the Black Card in the corner of her eye with a hesitant look.
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
Harvey looked at Daichi coldly. "I don't think there's anything between you and me that we need to talk about."However, Daichi said passionately, "But I believe we do. This is not a place for us to speak of such things, though. I have prepared a table for us at the best restaurant serving Island Nation cuisine in Grand City. I invite you to dine with us. How does that sound?"Not only can we talk about what's happening at the Island Nation, Sky Plane's scenery, the Seven Families of Grand City…as well as what's currently going on with Ms. Mandy of the Jeans of Mordu!"Clack!Harvey immediately grabbed Daichi by the throat. "I dare you to say it one more time. Are you threatening me?"Daichi smiled faintly. "Threaten? You must be joking! Someone like me doesn't threaten anyone. However, Sky Plane does have a deal with the Jeans of Mordu. They will be sending out a representative, who turns out to be Ms. Mandy."However, Ms. Mandy doesn't know much about the situation in Sky Plane
Hearing the conversation between Harvey and Clarion, Hale wasn't sure what to say. He let out a long sigh and said, "Thank you, Mr. Harvey, Mr. Clarion. I won't waste my breath, then. Since you're willing to protect a cripple like me, I'll be in your care from now on."He took out a paper and pen from the bedside table and quickly drew a picture, then put it in front of him. "Mr. Harvey, this is the real location of the Chapter of Ascension. I know you're sincere in helping me. I can't repay you, so I can only offer you this. Please don't refuse it. This thing will only get me killed if I have it with me."However, if it's with you, you should be able to put it to good use. Consider it my goodwill. I… I hope you can accept this and give me a chance to repay your kindness."Hale then made a gesture and swore, "I swear, this is the real location where the Chapter of Ascension is hidden. This is not a death trap. Please trust me. Other than the Chapter of Ascension, there's also some
It was obvious that Hale's anger and sorrow had pushed him to the limit. He was already blaming Sky Plane for everything. Sky Plane had just earned him as a mortal enemy."My condolences, Hale." Harvey extended his hand and tapped Hale's shoulder. "The dead can't be brought back, so the most important thing now is to recover. Sky Plane is a difficult enemy."Clarion nodded as well. "Now that Susan is dead, Sky Plane will not let this slide. However, we'll need to get you a new identity after you recover. Only when you're safe and when you can live for yourself will you have the chance to have your revenge."I've just received news that everyone in Grand City knows who you are. All the other Sacred Lands will find out very quickly. In a short while, there will be countless people looking for you, for us. That's why you need to get ready. We're running out of time."When Clarion said that, the frigid light in his eyes glinted. He didn't need to send anyone to find out what was go
"No matter what happened, she treated me well all these years. Even if I were to kill her, I want her to die with some dignity. As for the trouble from Sky Plan and her… I'll give you an explanation you'll be happy with. Please permit me," Hale said, not caring for the wounds on his body even when he was kneeling on the floor.Clarion looked stern. If he were to bring in a spy like Susan, it would help him immensely in his career. If they got her into the interrogation room and asked her proper questions, they could get valuable answers from her. That was the only value she had left.However, Clarion also knew why Hale framed it that way. She was still his wife, even when she had already betrayed him. Rather than letting someone like Clarion take her away right now and live a torturous life that she wouldn't be able to tell day by night, he'd prefer to kill her right now. That way, Susan would be able to die peacefully.But how should he choose? Clarion was having a headache rig
Hale's expression was one of shock.Susan was the same.Hale didn't expect Sky Plane's plan to be so vicious. They wanted the Chapter of Ascension and to use the chance to plunge Grand City into chaos.Susan was shocked about how accurate Harvey's guesswork was. If it wasn't because she knew that someone like him would never have a connection with Sky Plane, she would even think that he might have a hand in setting up the trap that looked like it was simply a string of coincidences.Otherwise, how would he have known everything in such detail?Clarion looked at Harvey with more admiration. While he looked like just an ordinary man, whether his power or perception was far beyond them.Hale slowly closed his eyes, forcing himself to calm down for a long time.Then, he turned and looked at Susan and muttered, "Now that we have reached this juncture, I don't think that there should be any more secrets between you and I. Just one question. Did everything happen exactly as Mr. Harvey
"Or maybe, in your subconscious, you do realize that something isn't right. Maybe you simply feel that it's better for her not to know about some things. That way, things will be safer for her," Harvey said with a shrug. "However, the truth is that she didn't get anything from you at all until yesterday, isn't it?"Hale nodded. "You're right. I did have some doubts about her in my mind, that's why I did tell her everything except the Chapter of Ascension."Hale seemed to reminisce about something else before giving a painful smile. "And then, as time passed by, I no longer suspected her. But I'm worried that it'll get her killed, so I chose not to say anything. I believed that as long as I said nothing, we'll be able to live a peaceful life! No one expects that in the end…"Hale signed, looking hopeless when he said that.However, Susan simply smiled icily. "Stop your crocodile tears, Hale. You never trusted me, so stop saying that you love me!"Hale smiled bitterly. He didn't w
Clarion was stunned when he saw Mrs. Hoffman was still trying to argue her way out."Even the way you argue is the same as the Origin Ninjas. Seriously?" Harvey smirked. "Right, I heard that the Origin Ninjas would leave the mark of a petal on the most private spot so that it was easier for them to identify each other. You must have seen it, right, Mr. Hoffman? Of course, I believe she'd definitely say it was just a tattoo that she had while she was in her youth."Unfortunately, I believe that Grand City has plenty of records. It should be quite easy for us to find the evidence we need. That's why, Mrs. Hoffman… Is there really a need to deny it anymore now that we've reached this point?"Mrs. Hoffman shuddered a little. She didn't expect that Harvey would be able to easily see through all her disguise. Most importantly, he even knew about the most damning evidence on her. In a situation like this, continuing with the argument really was pointless."You… You…!"At the same tim
Harvey said calmly, "You smell like one of them."Whoosh!Before Harvey could finish, Mrs. Hoffman immediately pounced at him. In midair, she waved her hand and threw a string of knives.All her blades were blue in color. They looked very pretty, but if they scratched one's skin, one could easily lose their lives if they weren't sent to the hospital immediately.Clarion was shocked when he saw what was unfolding. It was obvious he didn't expect Harvey's words to help them identify Mrs. Hoffman's real identity and forced her to attack.Still, that was quite normal. Thinking back about it, Mrs. Hoffman's calmness during this whole ordeal showed that she was not a normal woman.The power she suddenly showed was within their expectation, and they could understand it too.However, this exact revelation was making things more painful for Hale. It hurt him even more than finding out that his beloved wife sold him out. Clank! Clank! Clank!Harvey pulled up a small fruit knife and thr
