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
