“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
Clyde Osborne’s eyes frantically twitched after hearing the Chief Instructor’s name.As a citizen of Country H, he knew exactly what that name represented.He had never seen the Chief Instructor in person…But he could already tell how powerful he actually was judging from the strength of Flutwell Police Station’s first-in-command, Ansel Torres himself.Vermillion’s voice became softer after seeing Clyde’s look on his face.“Besides, Prince Osborne…“You’re a treasure. Why even bother going against a dying man?“A man will never stand behind a collapsing wall.“We have a strong force right now. You also have most of your family’s forces under your command…“Safe to say that you’re one of the few top talents in all of Country H.“But even so, there’s no point in fighting Longmen for such a trivial matter.“After all, this will badly affect your grand schemes!“We should wait until we’re done crushing Country H’s Martial Arts Alliance and Harvey York. When we return to India,
On the next day, while Clyde Osborne was still filled with utter resentment…Harvey York called a cab to the Martial Arts Alliance’s office building.Other than seeing what sort of trouble Colton Torres was dealing with, he wanted to talk to him about what had happened the previous night.After all, judging from Clyde’s personality, Harvey believed that the prideful man would not just sit and do nothing after suffering such a big loss.Samuel Bauer’s actions seemed quite reckless, but he was actually forcing Clyde to pull out his trump card.When the enemy is not fully prepared, it will be easier to take them out.As soon as Harvey entered the office, Colton Torres furiously slammed his hand on the table.“B*stards! Cowards!“Are those vice leaders completely useless?!“Or are those people from the sacred martial arts training grounds think that they’re above others? Don’t they care about their own country’s glory?“It’s already bad enough that they’re not standing on my side
“More importantly, that old b*stard, Dane Benett, has been saying that I’m the one stalling after getting the support of the four great Martial Arts Alliance!“He told me to accept the conditions as soon as possible, or else the four great Martial Arts Alliances would add more!”Colton Torres slammed the table again.“That b*stard! Sometimes I really want just to quit!”That said, Colton never did that.He knew that with Dane’s narrow mind and short vision, he would probably accept such humiliating conditions.Country H’s reputation would be tarnished entirely if that were to happen.Colton would be hated by history itself.Harvey York smiled after hearing those words.“The four great Martial Arts Alliances didn’t do this. Clyde Osborne did.Harvey explained the entire situation.Clyde was completely embarrassed by Samuel, yet he would not dare to take revenge. Other than going against Country H’s Martial Arts Alliance, there was no other way to go against Samuel.“The prin
Bart was completely stunned. "Sir, that's not what you said earlier! You gave explicit orders that…""What orders?" The voice coming from the other side was grim. "Do you understand what I'm telling you? Do as I tell you right now. Other than letting them know, I don't care whether you must cry or beg; you must gain the Xaviers' forgiveness. "Remember. If you fail, I'll kill all your family! This is not just my personal order but the collective will of the entire Second Caste. You must gain their forgiveness even if you were to sacrifice your own life!"After Mr. Garcia roared back at Bart, he angrily hung up. Obviously, there was pent-up anger in him, making him very furious and agitated. Unfortunately, it seemed that he could not resist it. That was why, even if he did not want to, all he could do was follow Mr. Garcia's orders.What happened?Bart, Zoe, and the others could not react as their eyes were fixed on the phone on the table. Their expressions were completely frozen.
"Tsk. Didn't you say you just gave a call to the Empire? That's our suzerain! If there's really someone on top of the pyramid speaking on your behalf, we all had to obey!" Bart said, his words were spiteful once more."Maybe you should give her a call again? Tell her that the Second Caste is very scared, waiting for her to come and punish us. Or maybe, your phone is out of credit? Do you need more money to pay for your credits?" Bart then pulled out a 20-dollar bill and threw it at Harvey. What Bart just did made all the people from Country I laugh even more arrogantly.Zoe could not be bothered to waste her time anymore. Instead, she extended her foot before Harvey, signaling Harvey to kneel and lick the sole of her heel quickly. Otherwise, someone from the Xaviers would have to die again if time was up.Buzz…As the mockery climaxed, Bart's phone started to vibrate. Everyone instantly looked at him. Bart was also stunned and glanced at the screen of his phone. Then, he gave Harve
"What? Don't tell me the Victoria you called just now was actually Princess Victoria from the Empire? I suppose you must have gotten what you wanted if you could talk to her directly. I wonder what kind of orders she gave us? Did she tell us to be on our knees right now or tomorrow?" A smirk appeared on Zoe's face the moment Harvey hung up. She looked at Harvey as if she was looking at a clown running a circus."Oh, right, I need to remind you. In one hour, we will kill another member of the Xavier family. If she only contacts us after a long time, then the Xaviers will all die," said Zoe as she folded her arms in front of her chest and slowly approached Harvey. Then, she leaned closer to Harvey and said, "And here I'm looking forward to falling on my knees and calling you Daddy. So please, you better give me this chance."At this time, Zoe acted so seductively. If it were not because everyone here knew that Zoe and Harvey were enemies, some might even think that Harvey and Zoe might
"Seems like you didn't change at all, Maiden. You still wouldn't give up until your final moments," Harvey stepped forward and glanced at Zoe. She might look stern on the outside, but she was already shaken inside."You know full well that if I could give you the money all this time, it would mean that I have the evidence. Maybe the Second Caste didn't care about the betrayal and continued to use you because you have some value. But the moment I show all this evidence on the internet, a sinner like you will make everyone remember everything."Perhaps the First Caste, who is at a disadvantage right now, could use this as an initiative and retaliate. That's why if I were you, I would immediately turn tail and leave, then think of a way to convince the Second Caste to stop instead of wasting your breath here."Zoe smiled coldly. "You can stop threatening me now, Harvey. I confessed everything to my higher-ups a long time ago. So what if you can reveal all the evidence you have? It mean
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
