“Let me tell you one more thing.”Harvey studied Gael calmly.“Someone must’ve come up with the same plan.”“However, the Cobb family would never allow this to happen.”“That’s right. Someone did come up with this before. My grandfather is a God of War and the best fighter in all of the South Sea. Only idiots would think to cripple his training!” Katy exclaimed coldly.“If so, what’s the point of inviting you people here?”Gael had a horrible look on his face.He was perfectly confident he’d be able to save Dean and win Katy’s heart at the same time, but his plan was no different than a sick joke to her.“Medicine and martial arts have the same origin. You all should understand this fact.”“If you want to succeed in these fields, only modesty can get you far.”Harvey didn’t want to let Gael go. He started going against the people who were planning to run their mouths in front of him.“None of you are modest enough for this. Rather, you’re all cocky people who only know how
After completely disrespecting the people there, Harvey gestured to Katy to lead him into Dean’s room.Gael and a few other so-called expert martial artists were boiling with anger, but they were curious to see if Harvey could actually save Dean.That was why they followed along too.Harvey ignored them completely.Katy knew it was the best time for Harvey to show his strength. So, she didn’t chase the crowd away.After arriving at a room about two thousand square feet wide, Harvey saw Dean lying on a yellow flower pear wood mattress.There was a lot of equipment strapped to his body, indicating his vital signs.Since he was a God of War, he wasn’t able to be injected with any medicine because of his thick skin.Dean had only survived this long because Katy had been painstakingly feeding him water every single day.Harvey felt extremely guilty after seeing Dean turn out this way for his sake.Katy took a step forward and grabbed Harvey’s right hand.“Sir York, you shouldn’t
Ellen asked something nobody dared to question.Even Katy’s beautiful eyes shifted gaze toward Harvey, carrying a hint of doubt.“Don’t worry. There’s no need to lie to you about this. Elder Cobb will come back today.”Katy was so excited that her body started trembling.“That’s good! That’s really good!”“I don’t know how I can repay you for this, Sir York…”Gael and the others frowned upon seeing Katy’s affectionate look toward Harvey.They believed Harvey’s actions were quite impressive before, but that was basically it.So many of them couldn’t even pinpoint Dean’s condition and symptoms…Yet, Harvey claimed he was able to save Dean on the very same day.‘What a joke!’‘This b*stard’s being a little too cocky!’“Don’t be so full of yourself, Harvey!”“You’ll be embarrassing yourself if you can't get Elder Cobb up!”Gael was filled with hatred after his kidney deficiency was exposed. He couldn’t help but speak up through gritted teeth.A few other expert martial artis
Katy lost her composure completely; she wanted to run into Dean’s arms, but she went into Harvey’s arms instead in fear of hurting her grandfather.“Thank you so much, Sir York!”“You’re our family’s savior! I just don’t know how to repay you!”“This is nothing,” Harvey said with a faint smile.“That said, Elder Cobb’s injuries are quite bad. He needs to stay in a quiet place for at least six months so he can recover.”“Don’t worry, Sir York. I can handle the rest,” Katy replied with a tender voice.“No! This is impossible! This is illogical!”Gael finally came to his senses.That said, he was still filled with utter disbelief.He was well-versed in both medical skills and martial arts; he had quite a lot of accomplishments since he was young, and had made a name for himself in the South Sea.Even he couldn’t tell what exactly happened to Dean. He could only come up with a plan along with everyone else here.Judging from his estimation, the plan would require at least anothe
Katy didn’t pick up her phone immediately. She showed Harvey an apologetic smile before going to the side of the street for a few minutes.Harvey could clearly tell she was in distress.When Katy hung up on the phone, she had a faint smile as she walked toward Harvey.“What? Did something happen?” Harvey casually asked.“You’re the head of the South Sea Gang. Nobody would dare go against you here.”Katy flashed him a bitter smile.“You’re kidding me, Sir York. The South Sea Gang might have a bit of authority in Hong Kong and Las Vegas…”“But things are different here in the South Sea.”“Other than my secretary and a few trusted subordinates, I didn’t bring anyone else with me.”“I thought I could just leave after dealing with my grandfather’s condition...”“But things don’t always go as planned.”“Do you need my help?” Harvey asked.“It’s just the family business; it’s not hard to deal with at all. It’s just a little troublesome, is all.”Katy rubbed her temples.“There’s
“Right. Where are we meeting up tonight?” Katy asked.“Eight o’clock at night, at the Marina Bay Clubhouse,” the person on the phone said bossily.“Make sure you get there on time!”Katy had a faint smile.“Don’t worry, I’ll be there in time.”After hanging up the phone, Katy glanced at Harvey.“That’s my middleman, Lara Johnson. She’s a social butterfly of the South Sea.”“She’s quite familiar with both sides of the underworld.”“That was why I asked her to bring me and the debtor together.”“Who’s the debtor?” Harvey asked.“A transportation company at the pier. The CEO is named Vance Toft.”“It’s said he has a background in the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance. That’s why he’s a tough nut to crack.”“The Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance?”Harvey frowned.“The South Sea is different from Country H. There aren’t that many factions for martial artists. Everyone would join the Martial Arts Alliance if they want to train.”“The Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance
Harvey frowned when he saw these people.He had no intention to cause trouble in another country. Despite that, there would always be someone ignorant enough to provoke him.“I didn’t have time to play with you at the airport, but that doesn’t mean that I’ve let you go!”“Do you think you’re allowed to slap me in the face just because you sit in the VIP cabin?!”“Let me tell you something! You’re dead for bumping into me!”The beautiful woman had a bossy look on her face, as if she was the queen of the world.The mean-looking man squinted and yelled coldly, “You’re the one who touched my woman?!”“That bright red palm print is still on her face! I’m completely heartbroken!”“How are you going to take responsibility for this?!”The man lit up his cigar and blew a puff of smoke.What an arrogant sight!The people walking on the streets immediately scurried after seeing what was happening.These people had an intimidating look to them.Harvey looked at them calmly and said, “
Queenie knew exactly what Harvey liked. She had already arranged some vintage Black Tea for him to enjoy.While the faint fragrance of tea spread in the air, Harvey went upstairs to take a shower. He felt very refreshed after changing into his sportswear.Katy shot him a curious glance. After a while, she burst out laughing.“If you keep running around me like that, I’ll take a bite out of you sooner or later!”Harvey pouted after hearing those words.“No way! I treat you like my sister, yet you’re trying to force yourself on me?”“How dare you!”“Tch!”Katy scoffed.“Everyone here wants a piece of me.”“I’m not even interested in any of them, though. I only have you on my mind.”“In any case…”“You’ll be missing out when I change my mind!”Harvey was speechless.‘Why did she have to bring up such a sensitive topic…?’Right when the air became a little more heated, Katy’s phone rang again.She frowned when she picked up the call; it was Lara again.Lara kept pestering
"Then, it has been decided," Nashon replied and waved his hand, stopping whatever Yvonne wanted to say. "You can treat this as compensation, or you can treat this as us adding more duties to you. Regardless, from now onward, the only person who has authority over you within this family is me. "Even your cousin Jesse will be under your command when necessary. If there are no accidents, then you'll be the next matriarch of the Xavier family."Nashon then smiled at Harvey and said, "Harvey, I have a suggestion. Since we're on this topic, I wonder if you'd consider it. We, the Xaviers of Wolsing, lack a live-in son-in-law. If you're willing to, it's fine even if the patriarch of the Xavier family uses the last name York, right?"Harvey was speechless. The old man would do everything to drag him down into the mud!"So, are you happy with my explanation?" Nashon gave Harvey a meaningful smile and an even more meaningful look. Obviously, if Harvey nodded, wealth beyond his imagination wo
"As for using Sheldon to force Yvonne, now you must understand that all this is just a scheme. No matter how far our family has fallen, we don't have to explain our scheme to outsiders, correct?' Nashon smiled faintly. While his words were quite soft, Harvey's inquisition of him was useless.Harvey narrowed his eyes. While he had always known the old man would be quite a handful, he did not realize he would be so hard to deal with. Nashon laughed and waved his hand when he noticed the slight change in Harvey's expression.Shortly after, a maid walked over with an ancient wine flask, next to sleek wine glasses.Nashon picked up the flask, poured the two glasses full, and winked at Harvey. "Come, Harvey. Why don't we taste this Spirit Wine that I frequently obtained from an auction recently?""Spirit Wine?"Harvey frowned and narrowed his eyes. He could sense that the wine was not some ordinary wine, but he did not know why Nashon suddenly wanted to bring this thing out.When Nasho
"I don't think so. You never underestimated me," replied Harvey, with conviction. "Meanwhile, I did underestimate the Xavier family's ambition. You used my hand to destroy the Shinto Way's foundation so you could take everything they owned within our country. Aren't you afraid you'll get too full if you eat everything in one go?"Jesse, who had not said anything until now, narrowed his eyes as he heard what Harvey had to say. He did not expect Harvey to have already figured everything out alone.Meanwhile, there was little to no change in Nashon's expression. He simply smiled and said, "Don't worry about us. While we have used you, but you can't blame us since Yvonne is our scheme's most important piece. To us, all she needed to do was to act as bait. As for who were the ones coming for the bait… That would be our consideration."Harvey's expression became cold. "If I never came, won't Yvonne fall into the hands of the Islanders?""And will you allow it?" Nashon laughed. "Even if y
Third ring of Wolsing, ten in the evening.Compared to the dilapidated Island Nation embassy in the outer ring, the Xavier residence in the third ring of Wolsing looked mysterious and solemn. Not long after leaving the embassy, he did not waste his breath and immediately told Jesse to lead the way and bring him and Yvonne back to the Xavier of Wolsing.He had to explain certain things even if it was to the top ten families of Country H. Otherwise, this would not be a complete scheme. Jesse said nothing and simply led the way in silence.The three swiftly walked through winding paths past corridors, lakes, and artificial hills. In the end, they arrived at an old building in the middle of the residence.While this place looked empty and deserted, the reality was that this place was filled with lethal dangers. Those who came here without informing the people here ahead would not even know how they died.The candle in the old candle holder was burning within the building. While it was
Whoosh!Aya gave it her all, but Harvey simply swung his sword. But Harvey's seemingly underwhelming attack defended against Aya's explosive offensive. Aya did not choose to retreat after her attack failed. Her princess pride did not allow her to retreat simply.She took a deep breath and gave her 120%. Her power and speed were much faster when she attacked again. However, the moment the attack was going to fall, Aya shuddered. Because she noticed that Harvey's eyes had always been so cold from the very beginning…It was as if he had seen through life and death…It was as if he had seen through her life and death…Unspeakable despair grew in Aya's heart, and she felt that her sight began to be covered in darkness. A cold aura seemed to cover her from all directions, making it hard for her to breathe.Clang!At this moment, Harvey's swing clashed with Aya's full-powered strike. However, Aya could simply feel her hand shaking and her right hand numbed. And then, the blade of her s
Clang!The next moment, a Shinto Way elite loosened his grip, and the sword he held fell to the ground. And then, he knelt on the ground as his body started to shake.He really wanted to defend the honor of the Islanders and his own honor. Of course, he also wanted to avenge Shingen. But… He wanted to live, too.When faced with the option of either death or kneeling, what other choices did he have other than to kneel?After the first one, there was a second one. In no time, all the Shinto Way elites threw their swords on the ground and knelt. When all the islanders saw what had happened, they all felt they were witnessing a funeral.They knelt.The Shinto Way, the leader of the Six Schools of Martial Arts, all knelt. The Island Nation's martial arts community knelt. The faces of those from the other schools or the Five Royal Families all became pale.They wanted to yell at the elites who were kneeling. How could they not give up on their lives instead? But once the words reached
Shingen's entire body froze at this moment in time. He could not understand why. He had already surrendered and was going to kneel. Why would Harvey be on guard? He had always used this scheme and ambushed plenty of elites.Why did it fail when used on Harvey?Shingen's throat was making some gurgling sound. He could not say anything, but he could not accept it."Do you know why I know you'll want to ambush?" Harvey wanted to crush Shingen's spirit. "That's because you have always been despicable. Whoever believes you… he's going to get it."Gah!After hearing Harvey's words, Shingen coughed one last mouthful of blood in regret, before falling to the ground. He would not make the same choices if he could relive his life. He could instigate anyone, but just not Harvey!Yvonne let out a sigh of relief after watching this scene.The worry in her heart had finally dissipated. All the Islanders still could not react to what had happened. They lost! How did Shingen, who had been on th
Clang! Clang! Clang!Shingen laughed maddeningly after his two attacks worked; he kept on attacking again and again, each strike more powerful than the last. Just simple slashes were enough to make the winds blow within the venue, his strikes reaching heaven and earth.Facing such terrible attacks, Harvey had already given up on the small blade in his hand. He simply took one step back after another to avoid Shingen's attack.Shingen's every attack felt like he wanted to kill Harvey on the spot. But no matter how he attacked, no matter how powerful it was, he wasn't able to touch Harvey at all.Whoosh!It was another attack, but Shingen was faster. Harvey had already been forced to the edge of the stage. There was nowhere for him to run or dodge. Shingen's eyes were filled with murderous intent, as if he had already foreseen how he would cut Harvey in half.Clang!At this final moment, Harvey suddenly sighed, disinterested. He raised his right hand and blocked Shingen's attack.
Harvey and Shingen traded dozens or so blows as the people watched.Shingen started to get angry again when he realized that not only was he unable to stand on top of the battle, but he seemed to be suppressed by Harvey too.He clenched the hilt of the longsword and took a step back, his body floating in mid-air, then drew a circle. At this moment, murderous intent poured through from the sword; it was so dense it could reach the heaven above.Everyone could see that Shingen had been angered and was going to use his ultimate attack.Aya shook her head. "Harvey's doomed. This is Shinto Way's ultimate attack, the Nine Divine Slash. In our legends, even the gods that reside in the Island Nation had to take a step back when faced with the Nine Divine Slash, not to mention a mere man."All the elites from the Island Nation were shocked after hearing Aya's words. An elite from the Shinkage Way slapped his head. "That's right! The tomes in Shinkage Way have records of the Nine Divine S
