Harvey looked weirded out.He came to Flutwell a long while ago, but he had never gotten a chance to see Samuel.Yet, Harold called Harvey just for this purpose.Harvey narrowed his eyes as he stared at the villa. Then, a few people showed up.One of them was none other than the long-awaited master of Longmen and the Bauer family, Samuel Bauer.Harvey frowned.“Is the master of Longmen really sick?”“He does have some health complications, but it’s not as serious as people think. He won’t die from it,” Harold replied calmly.“Rumors of him passing away soon had been spreading because he wanted to see which one of the family’s young masters is more suitable to take his position.”“So, it’s a misdirection?” Harvey smiled faintly.Harold’s face paled slightly at those words.“It’s only normal for big families like ours, right?” “Only truly powerful people can keep the family from dying. This is the standard.”“This is why people say that big families are emotionless.”Harve
“I…”“...Refuse,” Harvey replied after a moment of silence.“I would’ve been in that position already if I wanted to. Why would I wait till now?”“Besides, you already know how I operate. I’m not interested in fame and money.”Samuel wasn’t too surprised after hearing Harvey’s blatant rejection.“If that’s the case, I can only send word back to the Big Boss and Gavin,” he replied.“I’m sure they’ll be disappointed.”Harvey smiled, but he didn’t say another word.Samuel sighed and changed the subject.“How are you planning to deal with the situation, then?”“After all, it’s not our style to be thrown around by a bunch of people from India and the Island Nations.”“We’ll deal with it the same way they’re planning to deal with me,” Harvey replied calmly.“They’ve put so much effort to band the Martial Arts Alliances togethers.”“Since they’re confident they can take me out this way…”“I wouldn’t mind toying with them for a bit.”Samuel burst out laughing.“If you’re going
Harvey thought that while he could still try to play his role as the young master…Samuel would still remain as the master in charge of everything within Longmen.Harvey believed he would be completely unaffected with just an honorary title.Yet, with just a few words, all the responsibility was instantly shifted toward him!Samuel chuckled upon seeing Harvey completely speechless.“Since we had a deal, you can’t go back on your word anymore, Harvey.”“This time, you’re going against the four great Martial Arts Alliances!”“Since this is an underworld affair, Longmen has immense power!”“From now on, every single resource and connection of the organization will be yours to control.”“You don’t represent just yourself anymore.”“You need to fight for Longmen’s reputation!”Harvey sighed.“Enough, old man. Stop provoking me. It’s just a few clowns that I have to deal with, anyway.”There were some connections Harvey didn’t want to use before, and there were calls he didn’t w
“Prince Osborne!”Samuel instantly sent Clyde flying without even giving the latter any time to react.Several people hurried toward Clyde to lift him back up.The beautiful women behind him were shocked.They didn’t expect a random old man to easily slap Clyde in the face all of a sudden.Harvey stood on the side, poker-faced.Samuel was still the master of Country H’s cornerstone, Longmen.Even the masters of the five hidden families were only on par with him at most.Clyde must’ve had a death wish to actually show off in front of Samuel, especially before he was even in power.“How dare you touch me, you b*stard!”Clyde was blinded by rage; he didn’t even care who Samuel actually was at this point.He was being supported by India’s royal family and the Osborne family, and was ordered to use the four great Martial Arts Alliances against Country H.How could such an impressive man as him stand being sent flying by a mere old man?Clyde was a prideful man, after all.If h
“Is that so?”Harvey smiled faintly.“I’ll do it for him, then.”“Ha! You think you’re invincible just because you won a few matches in the ring?”Clyde was snarling after hearing Harvey’s words.He was about to swallow a pill to boost his strength; he was ready to give Harvey a lesson the latter wouldn’t forget…But at this moment, Samuel spoke up.“Since this b*stard said I wouldn’t dare touch him, I have to prove him wrong.”“If not, my reputation will be completely tarnished.”Samuel stood up from his wheelchair. He slowly stepped forward, although his face was oddly red.“Oh? Are you sure you want to go against me, Master Bauer?”“Can you even stand up straight?”“You touch me again, and I’ll make sure to slam you to the ground.”“It’ll be bad if you decide to blackmail with this in the future.”“You’re old! Why don’t you stop showing off already?”“Nobody can save you if anything happens!”To Clyde, Samuel was nothing to be scared of since the latter was heavily i
“You…”Clyde Osborne was panting in anger…But as soon as he was about to take action, he forced himself back.He figured Samuel Bauer would probably have another trick up his sleeve since he dared to act.If Clyde kept forcing his hand, Samuel would probably find an excuse to take him out then and there.This would be the best way for him to solve the situation entirely.Without a second thought, Clyde forced himself to calm down before he squeezed out a smile.“I was just kidding, Master Bauer!“I was just being ignorant!“Please forgive me for being so rude.“I won’t make the same mistake again!”Slap!Samuel swung the back of his palm across Clyde’s face again, causing him to stumble.“What? Do you think you’re a hot shot?“You figured out that Master Bauer made a hole for you to jump in…“That’s why you’re scared?“Aren’t you fearless?“Aren’t you the prince of the Osborne family?“Aren’t you the successor of India’s royal family?“What? You’re giving up because
Harvey York could not help but glance at Samuel Bauer after seeing Clyde Osborne leave with such resentment. As expected from the master of Longmen himself.Even after failing his training to connect himself with nature, he was still as dominant as usual despite his strength being halved.His title as the master of the country’s cornerstone was not just for show.Clyde must have had a death wish for going against Samuel himself.It was good that he knew when to quit.If not, he would have been dead already.He would also be accused of attempted assassination against the master of Longmen.“You see that, Sir York?“No matter how cunning the enemies are, they’re still no match against pure strength.”Samuel showed a pitiful look as he watched Clyde walk away.Harvey merely smiled.“This was a pretty good lesson…“It was a shame that it’s not bold enough. It’s not quite ruthless either.“I would’ve remembered your teachings if it was…”Samuel sighed.“I can’t help it. I’m t
“Victory is right before our eyes!“Other than agreeing to our conditions, they can’t do anything else!“What are we still scared of at this point?!Clyde Osborne took a deep breath before he gulped his wine down.“Send over India’s experts right now.“Find a chance to take that old b*stard out!”“Prince Osborne!Ebony stood up while showing an anxious expression.“The people who’ve infiltrated Country H are all experts Julio Garcia brought up himself!“There aren’t many, and their identities were officially recognized.“These people have been hiding in the country for ages. It isn’t worth exposing their identities because of the situation…“Especially against Samuel Bauer. No matter the case, he’s still the master of Longmen.“If he finds out about this, he might just have an excuse to wipe us all out.“When that happens, every single plan we have lined up will crumble in pieces!“Please listen to me, Prince Osborne! It’s never too late to take revenge!”Bam!Clyde sto
