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
Time had gradually passed. It was already the afternoon before the deadline.At four o’clock, Harvey casually came to the Martial Arts Alliance’s office building.Elanor Stanton followed beside him. She did not have her makeup on at that moment.Her face was still just as beautiful, but a sense of professionalism completely replaced her allure.Harvey wanted her by his side because of her connections and her self-control.He hoped that she would be of use on this occasion.“You’re finally here, Sir York?As soon as Harvey’s car was parked, Colton Torres and a group of workers walked up to welcome him after getting word.Harvey just let out a smile.“Did you wait long?“I just got here too, but those people upstairs have been waiting for a while now.Colton curiously looked at Harvey.“I thought those representatives would lash out and walk away judging from their impulsive behavior…“But they’ve been quietly waiting for an entire hour.“Why would they even leave?” replied
Harvey York waved his hand before walking to the meeting room with Colton Torres and Elanor Stanton.Before even pushing the door open, a loud slam on the table was heard inside.Bam!Soon after, a dominant and arrogant voice could be heard.“Where’s Colton?! Isn’t he the leader of Country H’s Martial Arts Alliance?!“Why isn’t he here to see us yet?!“He thinks he’s more impressive than us or something?!“Today’s the last day of the deadline! Does he think he can actually hide from us?!“Let me tell you something! Your actions are infuriating! There will be consequences for this!“We’ll raise your punishment to the highest level! Country H’s Martial Arts Alliance will be crushed for sure! The people who train in martial arts here will be disgusted the moment they hear that name!“The people of Country H will hate you for all eternity!”An Indian wearing traditional clothing was the one who slammed on the desk. He was the one yelling around the room.The man was definitely
“You’re the legendary Harvey York?”Obviously, Emilio Garcia and the others had read Harvey’s information beforehand.After seeing Harvey show up, the representatives straightened their backs before they sized him up.Their faces were filled with utter disdain when they saw such an underwhelming look on Harvey. He did not seem like one of those prominent figures with dominant auras at all.‘So what if someone like this can win a few fights in the ring?’‘The true battle is always about smarts!’‘Just let the subordinates do the fighting and killing!’Emilio did not even try to hide his disdain when he coldly chuckled.“Do you think you can negotiate with us on behalf of Country H’s Martial Arts Alliance?”Dane Benett frowned.“What’s the meaning of this, Leader Torres? How can you be this reckless?”“I’ve made my decision. From now on, Harvey will represent both me and Country H’s Martial Arts Alliance.“His words are my own.“Whatever he agrees with, I’ll do the same.“I
Meanwhile, Sol moved a chair over for Harvey and made a cup of tea for him. Harvey drank the flower tea that had just been freshly brewed. After a drink, he said with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Geoffrey.""You saved me, so it's nothing strange for me to show you some appreciation," replied Geoffrey with a smile as he waved his hand. Then, Sol and Lune closed and covered all the windows and doors leading to the studies. Later, he said, "Harvey, I've prepared everything I need to. It's all in your hands now."In the next few days, he had already written down his own comprehension of his martial arts and those that he believed needed to be recorded, then passed them to Sol and Lune for safekeeping. Geoffrey was prepared for the consequences of his treatment."Alright. Since you have made the decision, then I won't delay this any further. But I suggest that we should make a video recording. That way, you will not only know what changes occur to your body but also what I did." Harvey sugge
"You heard it too, didn't you? I gave Victoria a call," Harvey said openly. "Victoria is the eldest princess of the Empire. She owed me one, so I asked her a favor. To her, something like this is easily within her powers."Yvonne was shocked. "You're actually familiar with the Empire's eldest princess?"Harvey smiled. "It's all in the past. Not to mention that this time, it involves the lives of many of your relatives. It's more convenient if the Empire is the one that makes the move."Yvonne gave it a thought and mumbled, "Sir, you probably need to repay her for a favor this huge, right? If you need anything, just let me know, and I'll have the Xaviers prepare them.""Well… There's no need to," Harvey said as he glanced at his phone screen with a message written in the Empire's script. "I guess this is all over once I find some time to treat her to a meal."When she heard it, Yvonne's expression instantly turned strange. But she was a smart woman; she knew there were things she s
"That's because the Empire produces most of the firearms we Second Caste used. Once they stop their services, we will lose access to those firearms in the short term. The First Case will use this chance to retaliate. If we ever reach that stage, the Second Caste is doomed. That's why we have no choice but to execute the Empire's orders."That's not the worst part. Unless we can completely go without the weapons produced by the Empire from within our army, otherwise… Harvey basically owns the Second Caste from now on. Crossing him is suicidal. In our current condition, the Second Caste doesn't have the resources to change the firearms from within our army. That's why, whether we like it or not, he basically owns us," said Bart, heaving a sigh. His expression darkened."Darn it… I told them I would rather cross the people from Country A than the people from Country H. Why didn't they believe me? They only regretted it after they had been thoroughly humiliated."When Zoe heard it, she
"Let's go!" Bart's expression darkened when he saw things had reached this stage. With a wave of his hand, he was going to leave with his underlings. He was filled with dissatisfaction.Today was supposed to be his day of glory. He was supposed to crush the Xaviers right under his boots. He was even prepared to have some fun with the women from the Xaviers. But he never expected one call from Harvey to be enough to turn his dreams into nothing. He was extremely dissatisfied.Zoe shuddered and was also about to leave. She wished Harvey could forgive her existence at this moment."Did I tell you that you can leave?" Harvey glanced at the group as they reached the entrance. "Don't forget, all of you have to give me an explanation that I'm happy with."Then, Harvey glanced at Zoe and said, "And you, Maiden. Don't forget your words so soon?"Zoe's expression darkened as she shuddered.Meanwhile, Bart immediately bent the knee on the floor with a loud thud. Then, he said in a bitter vo
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,
