Harvey smiled faintly while he watched Axel jumping up and down in anger.“I’ve already crushed you people.”“As the person who challenged Longmen with so many people and tricks under your belt, not only did you not win, but you also didn’t manage to kill me either. How are you supposed to report this to the royal family?”“If I’m guessing correctly, you probably have to smash your head open right in front of the royal palace to keep your family alive.”“Since you’re already a dead man, why would I fight you?”“Are you even worthy?”“You b*stard…”Axel didn’t think that Harvey would have seen through him completely. “Well, you’ll be famous if you win against me!”“You can tell the whole world that you beat me with your own strength, and not through petty tricks!”“If I can’t beat you in one move, I’ll slam my head on the ground right now!”“You don’t think you can actually defend yourself against me, do you?”“Or do you think you’ll embarrass your entire country if I actua
“Fine. A gentleman never goes back on his word.”Harvey smiled calmly. Then, he turned around and clapped in front of everyone.“Please, everyone. Be quiet.”“Just now, one of the three Demon Monks, Master Axel Garcia, struck a deal with me.”“He wants to trade a single move with me.”“If he wins, I’ll have to announce that I’m completely inferior against him.”“But if he loses, he’ll have to give me his phone that’s filled with his little secrets.”“Please don’t leave the ring for the time being. Let’s all witness this fight together!”The people who were about to leave were exhilarated.Every single match that happened on this day was more intense than the last.Even though Harvey and Zoe’s fight was a little anticlimactic…The fights were still exciting overall.Everyone grew interested when Harvey announced that there would be another match.On one side, the champion of Country H…On the other side, one of the three Demon Monks…Everyone wanted to see who was stronge
“He won?”“Harvey won again?”“That Demon Monk’s no good either! He couldn’t even take a single hit against Harvey!”“And now, he’s telling us that India’s martial arts are superior? What a joke!”“I used to think they were good! Now that I look closely, they’re just useless filth!”Upon hearing the gossip, Axel’s eyes twitched. He finally got back off the ground; there was an extremely horrible look on his face.“Who are you?! How did you just slap me like that?!” he asked, glaring furiously at Harvey.Axel knew he had the strength of a God of War.The only reason he was slapped aside that easily was because Harvey was also one!But… When did Country H even get such a young God of War?“It’s not that I’m strong. You’re just weak,” Harvey replied calmly.“Do you really think India’s martial arts are superior?”“Do you really think you can just come out here and show off after practicing your lame moves?”“Let me tell you something right now…”“There will always be someone
Harvey looked at Axel as if he was looking at a complete idiot. He sighed.“Do you think I’m as dumb as you? Why would I even do something so obvious in the first place?” he said.“All I did was get another card with the money inside.”“I already gave Zoe the card when we met inside the restaurant.”“I wrote the password when I was holding her hand, too.”“All she needed to do was to check on her phone to see the money inside.”“You people said that you wanted to give me this and that, but what happened? All you have are empty promises.”“I was different; I gave her money she’d never be able to make her entire life.”“Tell me, don’t you think she’d be moved after having so much money in her hands?”Axel sighed.“I’d be moved too…”“So-called loyalty only happens when the price to betray isn’t met yet,” Harvey said calmly.“Not only did I give her the money, I promised to give her half of the Martial Hall’s shares as well.”“It’d be surprising if she didn’t come to me.”“S
“I’ve lost! I’ve lost completely!”After seeing the Indians filled with utter despair…After seeing his allies with horrible expressions…After seeing Zoe sitting quietly in the east resting area with the people who bought her off…Axel burst out laughing.He finally knew what it meant to be forced into a corner!He looked at the sky facing India’s direction, before slamming his head on the ground.He then raised his hand before swinging it right on top of his head.Bam!The crowd fell into an uproar when they saw Axel fall.The Indians began to panic.Harvey ignored Axel’s sorry state and covered his face with a piece of tissue. After leaving Axel with the last bit of dignity, he then turned around and left.After heading back to the Martial Hall, Rachel, Layne, Kayden, and the other instructors, along with everyone else, started cheering happily.They already had a banquet prepared as a celebration; a lot of students from the Martial Hall were invited as well. It was qui
“I came because something big happened.”“Talk. What happened?”Looking at George, Harvey knew it wasn’t a simple matter.“Did the Indians start calling us out internationally because they’re unhappy with the outcome of the fight?”“It’d be easy if it was just them.”George seemed a little anxious.“This is really bad, Sir York.”“This is what happened.”“The top talents you crushed brought Axel back to India and announced their loss.”“After investigating the matter, the Indians said that they weren’t willing to accept the outcome because the entire situation seemed very fishy.”“The Indians are now planning to get Zoe to question you.”“But because of your arrangements, they didn’t even know where to find Zoe in the first place.”“The situation was going to end up unresolved…”“Until someone from Country H decided to help the Indians!”“They’re planning to get the Martial Arts Alliance involved!”“Just before, India, the South Sea, the Far East, and the Island Nations’
‘Clyde Osborne?’Harvey’s pupils shrank.He didn’t expect Rhea and Clyde to continue going against him, even after he had taught them a lesson during the Longmen’s Summit.More importantly, Clyde sold out his own country just to screw with Harvey!“Is that b*stard not scared of the top ten families and the four hidden families banding together against him?”“After all, he isn’t just going after my interests at this point,” Harvey said while narrowing his eyes.George sighed.“I have word that most of those families wouldn’t take any action on this.”“The Wright family and the York family, among others, would be restrained by them as well.”“Simply put, we’re in a bad situation right now.”“Of course, other than Clyde getting the four great Martial Arts Alliances to go against us, Rhea and the others had done quite a bit against us as well.”George coughed.“Other than squashing us, they have plans to band together and go against Country H too.”“After the Euro-American bat
“The Torres family?”Harvey froze.“What does this have to do with the Torres family?”“There’s something you don’t know, Sir York,” George said quietly.“After Elder Colton retired, he became a nominal leader of Country H’s Martial Arts Alliance. This was why his status was still exceptionally high in Flutwell after his retirement.”Harvey was surprised; he didn’t think Colton would have a title like that.“That said, Country H’s Martial Arts Alliance is just an alliance for the sacred martial arts training grounds. It seems like an organization on the outside, but in reality, the sacred martial arts training grounds have control of it.”“Elder Torres barely has any authority. The authority is split up between the vice leaders of the sacred martial arts training grounds here.”“Now that this is happening, there are a lot of people in the Martial Arts Alliance with their own motives. This had led them to conspire with our enemies from outside.”“Everyone is now dragging Elder
Bart coughed out a mouthful of blood after being slapped. Even a few teeth were in the blood as he looked completely out of his element. He wanted to stand up and fight against Harvey until the end, but he finally discovered that his arrogance and power meant nothing before Harvey."Harvey! You've crossed a line!" Zoe finally could not sit still and threw the cup she held onto the floor. Then, she pointed his finger at Harvey and yelled, "Do you even know what you're doing? Don't you know we have hundreds of hostages? Do you think we're still fighting in an arena in Flutwell?"So what if you can fight? So what if you're the representative? The Second Caste succeeded in a military coup! We have millions of soldiers and countless weapons! No matter how powerful you are, do you think they're more powerful than modern firearms? Regardless of your influence, do you think it's enough to suppress a country? No matter how rich you are, can you buy the entire Country I?"I'm warning you now,
Argh!Bart screamed as he pulled out his dagger from its sheath, wanting to stab Harvey in the gut. However, Harvey would never give him that chance. He spun and kicked Bart in the head.Bart's figure shuddered before being thrown away and slammed into a marble pillar with a bang. The sound of a crack followed, and the marble pillar instantly formed cracks that looked like spider webs as Bart fell to the ground.Bart was emotionally shaken. He wanted to stand up, but he had only crawled up halfway. His legs gave way, and he crawled on the floor again.He was crippled?With just one hit, he was already crippled? Just what kind of a monster was Harvey? The elites from the Second Caste looked at Harvey with mouths agape. They were prideful of their strengths, and many had trained in the Three Great Temples. They all believed they were better than everyone else. Especially Bart, who was one of the prodigies of the Celestial Temple.But when Bart encountered Harvey, he could not even
Bart looked arrogant. The Second Caste had the entire Country I under control and had about a hundred hostages from the Xavier family. How was the pretty boy going to deal with him this way?It must be a joke!"Do something to you?" Harvey turned around and approached Bart. Before Bart could even react, Harvey already lightly patted his face."I'm the one who defeated your squad of so-called prodigies. I was also the one who kicked Julio out of Flutwell. The famous people in Country I are nothing to me. Do you think dealing with garbage like you is challenging for me? Ridiculous."Then, Harvey pulled out a paper towel and wiped his palm in disdain."You bastard…" Bart was instantly infuriated when he finally realized that he had just been slapped in the face by Harvey. He wanted to get the gun on the table to gun Harvey down when he suddenly remembered something. His expression darkened as he narrowed his eyes and glared at Harvey coldly."You're the representative of Country H M
"Watch your mouth, Bart!" warned Yvonne. "Do you really think you've already won? Do you really think no one can do anything about you?"Bart laughed arrogantly and puffed out a ring of smoke. "We are the Second Caste. We are now the rulers of Country I. We have armies amounting to millions and countless assets. Do something about us? I don't believe someone like that even exists. Maybe you can try to do something for me instead? I swear I'll kneel before you!"Bart snickered after he said that. Any man knew what he was talking about.Clap! Clap!At this time, the sound of someone clapping could be heard."I see… I didn't expect the Second Caste from Country I would be so powerful. But I'm not someone who believes in the word impossible… Maybe I can do something to you instead?" Harvey's indifferent voice echoed in the hall as he slowly walked inside, clapping his hands.Zoe's expression froze when she heard that voice. When she saw who was talking, she could not help but shudder
"I don't know whether you're cowards, but all I need to do is send word to Sword Camp about how you disrespect the Chief Instructor. Even if the Chief Instructor isn't here, Ethan from Sword Camp will teach you a lesson!" warned Yvonne coldly."You're using Ethan to scare me?" Bart blurted out a laugh. "Do you think I didn't know Ethan had just been issued a restraining order? Without the Ministry of Defense's orders, he wouldn't dare make a move on us. It's just business… But will your ministry allow it to become an all-out war? How ridiculous! If you're that good, you can kill me here. That way, I'll acknowledge you're at least respectable! What's the point of wasting your breath with me here!"Then, Bart took out a pistol and immediately threw it before Yvonne with an arrogant expression. Yvonne's expression turned dark. It was obvious that she did not expect Bart to be so mad."What? You don't know how to use a gun? Come here, I'll teach you how. All you need to do is to turn th
"That's right! We'll just fight you until the end!""I refuse to believe if we give it our all, we'd still lose to you!"All the members of the Xavier family who were present cried out in anger, as if they were really fine with the idea of mutually assured destruction.Nashon also took a deep breath at this time and said. "Since the Second Caste didn't show any sincerity in wanting to negotiate, we won't be wasting our time anymore! This is over. We'll see who are the better ones next!""Oh, are you threatening us?" Bart instantly chuckled coldly. "Oh, Xaviers. You made a mistake. Do you think we're here begging for money? I'll tell you what's happening right now. We were thinking of giving you a chance. Since you won't accept our condition and are prepared to fight with us until the end, then let's give this a go!"Don't forget that we managed to be where we are through a military coup! We'll see whether you can hire more assassins or the elites from the Second Caste are stronger
"If you want them dead, just let me know, and I can stream it right now. If you want them alive, all you need to do is to agree to our request. That way, you'll see all of them being sent home alive," snorted Bart."But honestly, you should understand that you can't take back all your assets in Country I either way. If that's the case, why don't you just give up, complete the paperwork, and give us 50 billion A dollars as a donation. Who knows, we might have a chance to cooperate, right?"Nashon's expression turned cold. "Not everyone can get away with taking our things. As for the 50 billion A dollars… Do you think we print money here? Do you even know how much 50 billion is? You're making such a senseless demand!"Bart smirked in disdain. He did not need to speak, as Zoe faintly smiled and said, "Mr. Xavier, our side hopes both sides can cooperate. We hope you're willing to put your assets on the table for negotiation and not be so stubborn. There's nothing more to say about your
As the man raised his hand, someone dragged the member of the Xavier family with six on his forehead and threw him in front of the camera. Then, someone pulled a trigger.Bang!White and red matter instantly covered the camera lens, and all the Xaviers could see was a smear on the screen.The expressions of the Xavier family's higher-ups turned even darker. They did not expect the people from Country I would really do it. The faces of many of the women became pale as they almost collapsed."Bart Garcia! Is the Second Caste really trying to go on a full-scale war with us? Our family has invested in your country for so many years and has helped you with many problems, and we have also donated to charity for a long time. We have never harmed your people or your country…"But now, not only did you attack our family, but you also seized our gold mine and our corporations. And now, you even kill members of my family… Aren't you afraid we will give it our all and fight you till the last
A man in a golden robe led the men and women from Country I. His hair was short and curly, and he had the aura of someone in the higher strata of society. He held a big cigar with his right hand as he puffed a ring of smoke and sat on the expensive rosewood couch that was supposed to be Nashon's seat.There was also a hint of lust in his eyes as he looked at the women from the Xavier family. Especially when he saw Yvonne and the others. The burning passion in his eyes could almost materialize. Everyone had to admit it. His pose and his expression made him even more disgusting.Next to the disgusting man, Harvey also saw another woman whom he had met quite a number of times before in Flutwell.Zoe Garcia.She seemed to have forgotten just how many losses she had incurred the last time she faced Harvey. She also forgot that because of Harvey, she was basically an enemy of Country I. But now, she was no longer wearing the traditional garb of Country I but a modified version of the tra
