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
“You’re insane! What kind of money do you think you’re asking for?!” exclaimed a worker.Slap!“Who told you to speak up?Emilio Garcia slapped the worker aside before walking forward with a cold smile.“Isn’t Country H the world’s strongest country?“Your country also has the world’s largest economy judging from how fast you’re developing…“If anything, you have the most money.“So what if we take fifteen billion dollars from you?“This is nothing.Emilio extended his hands toward Harvey York’s face.“Enough haggling, Harvey. If you even say a single word, I’ll make your life a living Hell!”Slap!Harvey casually swung the back of his palm across Emilio’s face.“Country H has outstanding people, land with abundant resources, and money that grows on trees, but what does it have to do with you people?“Not just fifteen billion; we won’t even give you fifteen dollars.”“Aaagh!”Emilio stumbled backward while Harvey blatantly insulted him. His face was utterly swollen when
Emilio Garcia let out a cold chuckle.“Fine! Since you don’t want Prince Osborne’s help, we’ll just go all out then!“Because of Harvey York’s actions, you’ll have to compensate ten times the previous amount!“Other conditions will remain the same, but Harvey will have to kneel right in front of India’s royal palace for three whole days!“Make a choice, Leader Torres! Are you planning to accept our conditions, or will you endure the storm that’s about to come?“For now, only a few Country H Budokans from abroad were smashed up and robbed, along with a few people being deported!“Even I wouldn’t know what will happen next if things keep escalating!“When that happens, I want to see just how you’ll explain to your people!Haru Miyamoto showed a faint smile.“I suggest you accept the conditions right now.“After all, Country H and the Island Nations have been in good relations. If it weren’t for Harvey, we wouldn’t be fanning the flames like this!”“Stop pretending, you three!
"An outsider like you came to my wedding to steal my bride… Who do you think you are?" Shingen said righteously. "Do you think we Islanders can be bullied? Do you think that the Shinto Way can be harassed so easily? I'm telling you right now… No matter what happens to you, the Island Nation will file a protest against Country H. We will demand reparations from your country!" When Shingen said that, he was implying that Harvey was humiliating the entire Island Nation.Hearing what Shingen had to say, all the Islanders were angry at Harvey as well, as if they were facing a common enemy.While this place still belonged to Country H, right now they were standing at the Island Nation embassy. It was a territory belonging to the Island Nation.Everything that Harvey did not only humiliated the Shinto Way, but also the entire Island Nation!The moment that thought crossed their minds, the leader of the Shindan Way's elites who were enemies with Harvey stood up and said maliciously, "H
At this time, Leighton bore the face of one who was questioning Harvey in the name of justice and one who would have his vengeance soon. After all, he had just been kicked out of Country H Commercial by Harvey earlier.He didn't expect to be able to collect that debt so soon. It hadn't even been a week yet, and he already had a chance to humiliate Harvey—to make Harvey suffer a fate worse than death.In such a situation, Leighton was delighted.The men following him were turncoats like him, and all of them looked at Harvey with eyes full of disdain.Harvey raised his head and looked at them with contempt. If there were people he hated more than the Islanders, it had to be these traitorous scumbags. They all believed they were better than others after they became the Islanders' hounds.In truth, they had no use at all other than being used to repulse their own country and people."The assistant-chairman… Oh, wait. I forgot, You're no longer one," Harvey calmly said. "You're now ju
"In this scene, it seems like I'm Paris…" Shingen sighed. "But I believe you're quite familiar with the story, yes? You know'll will happen to Romeo and Juliet in a world where there's no happy ending? You should learn from the stories. Or are you going to fake your death now? If you do that, you'll get the pity of everyone who hears about your story, right? But according to the customs of my country, what you do is called adultery!"It was obvious that not only Shingen wanted to kill Harvey, but he was going to ruin Harvey emotionally. That was why he wasn't in a rush to make any moves. Every word he said was full of mockery.When Harvey heard that, he looked at Shingen. "It's not up to you to decide whether we're committing adultery. As the scion of the Shinto Way, don't you feel ashamed for stopping so low? With your identity and status, you can have any woman you want, but you decide to threaten her. All I can say is that you've lost my respect.""Lost your respect?" Shing
After Harvey had easily defeated Shouta and the great priest, he ignored the others and turned to look at Yvonne. He gave her a faint smile and said, "I'm sorry, Yvonne. I should have come here soon."Yvonne was somewhat stunned. She couldn't even control herself as she rubbed her eyes, thinking that she might be dreaming. In the next second, she immediately jumped into Harvey's arms. Harvey was stunned a little, but after some hesitation, extended his hand to pat her back. "It's fine. I'm here."Their actions, while simple, looked like some kind of TV drama in a place and situation like this.All the Islanders could only watch. Today was the wedding of the century! They didn't expect someone from Country H to cause a ruckus. Not only was Harvey humiliating Shingen, but he was also making Shingen's to-be wife cheat in front of his eyes!Shingen, who was supposed to be furious, was not angry at all. Instead, he simply looked at this scene with a dry smile. Today's events were beyo
Shouta had no choice but to unsheath the shortsword on his belt. He crossed the longsword and shortsword with each other and attempted to retaliate against Harvey using his twin-sword style. It was obvious that when there was nowhere for him to run, he hoped that he could force Harvey back using that. Even if he couldn't, he could at least deal damage to Harvey, couldn't he?Unfortunately, reality was much crueler than what Shouta had envisioned. He overestimated his power and underestimated Harvey's ability. Before the two blades could even reach Harvey, Harvey's palm had already fallen on his face.There was a loud slap, and Shouta's right cheek instantly became swollen as if a truck had rammed into his face. Even when he had secretly learned from Country H the way to absorb the force of an attack, he was in so much pain that he almost cried.When Shouta saw that Harvey was going to press on the assault, he instinctively took a few more steps back. Realizing this, he was filled
The blood-red coffin parted Yvonne and Shingen on two sides of the stage. Everyone could only watch, mouths agape and eyes wide.This was Yvonne and Shingen's wedding! Who would be so bold as to kick up a storm here?A slender figure appeared on the red coffin and smiled at Yvonne. Then, he immediately approached Shingen and slammed his palm downward. It looked like it had no power, but in Shingen's eyes, the palm kept approaching as if it would cover his entire vision.Shingen narrowed his eyes, wanting to fight back. Shouta had already rushed over and yelled, "Today's your wedding! It'll be bad for you to spill blood! Allow me to help you. Who are you? How dare you interrupt Master Shingen's wedding!"Shouta had already unsheathed the longsword in his belt and slashed at the figure in front of him.Swish!There was a loud noise. As the two sides clashed, sparks appeared mid-air. There was a screeching sound, and a lot of people felt their eardrums almost shatter. While Shou
"Thank you, everyone, for attending the wedding of the century. Thank you for coming all the way here, no matter where you're from," a great priest from the Church of the Western Court said, looking at everyone with gentle eyes as he held a tome in his hand."Today is the wedding of Mr. Shingen Tokugawa from the Island Nation and Ms. Yvonne Xavier from Country H. From today onward, they will become a family. From today onward, they shall take the vow of marriage, and everyone here in this wedding will be their witness."Now, Mr. Shingen Tokugawa, Ms. Yvonne Xavier. We shall start with the first step."The great priest looked at Shingen, then brushed his hand at the golden debit card he had just received. With a smile, he said, "Mr. Shingen Tokugawa, I stand here as a representative of the gods to ask you one question. Are you willing to take Ms. Yvonne Xavier as your wife? In sickness and health, in good times and in bad, to love her and honor her all the days of her life?"Many
After they had finished paying attention to Jesse, some started watching Yvonne. Initially, they all thought that Yvonne could not possibly be some kind of beauty.But after giving her a few looks, many of the men started to have lustful expressions. That was because, as pale as Yvonne was, her beauty was not something the Islanders had ever witnessed.No matter which of the island's famous beauties, they could not compare themselves to Yvonne. Some of the women who wanted to compare themselves to Yvonne gave up. That was because they clearly knew that they could not hold the candle to Yvonne.Shingen was satisfied with his inflated ego when he saw the men's jealousy and the women's humble expressions.At the same time, he stood there with his hands behind his back, as if he was an emperor looking down on his subjects.Clang… Clang… Clang…When Yvonne and her entourage arrived at the stage, the bell had been struck seven times.The most fortuitous hour had arrived.The expensiv
When the guests saw the staff working, they knew the newlywed should be arriving soon.They were right. As the helicopter the Island Nation's TV crew rented soared through the sky, Hotel Hope's entrance appeared on screen. The 52 Toyota Centuries decorated with flowers slowly drove over. All the cars were covered with red roses and fresh flowers, making others feel romantic.The real time for the wedding was 6.50 p.m.It was said that this was the hour that the groom, Shingen, chose himself. He believed that this was the luckiest time for him.As the time drew closer, so did the crowd.Most of the people from the crowd were from the Island Nation, while only a handful were people from Country H who had the right to observe the wedding. They had already been allied with the Islanders a long time ago.Not far from the embassy, one could see the cars used by the Wolsing's precinct coming in and out. The staff inside the car would observe the wedding with their binoculars, but their
