Harvey didn’t know how to respond at all; he only smiled awkwardly after hearing Dean’s words.Dean started to feel a little ashamed too.Harvey chuckled awkwardly before quickly changing the subject.“Right, what’s the third thing you were going to mention?”Harvey looked at the Rolex watch on his wrist.They had been talking for around half an hour; Harvey had to board the plane as soon as they were done with the conversation.Without wasting any time, Dean gestured to Harvey to stop at a gazebo.“It won’t be much trouble for you, I think,” he said with a smile.“I do hope that you can help me deal with this one last problem.”“It’ll be hard for me to do anything if I can’t stand up. I believe that you’ll be able to do this for me, right?”Harvey frowned.“You’re an expert martial artist, Elder Cobb. You know your body best.”“You’ll fully recover in just six months. Don’t tell me that you can’t even wait that long.”Dean sighed.“It’s not that I can’t wait. Time waits
“These two things are enough for us to take action.”Dean frowned.“So you’re saying you’ve been keeping an eye on me for years…”“Well, of course,” the leader nodded with a smile.“The only God of War of the South Sea will naturally have a few sleepless nights. Someone already paid a great price just for you to die decades ago!”“We haven’t been able to take action ever since we accepted the mission.”“Katy had been keeping you safe even when you were basically crippled by the poison—we never had a chance to take action.”“Because of this, the Royal Court has been in the hall of shame for decades.”“Now that we finally have the opportunity, it’s better if we end things quickly, won't it?” the leader added, still smiling. “This is a good place, and the time isn’t half bad either. Today is destined to be your death anniversary.”The leader waved his hand and revealed a machete.The others coldly chuckled, and did the same.Faint blue glows could be seen on the machetes.Th
Harvey looked at the assassins with a sincere gaze.The leader chuckled coldly after hearing his words.“I have to admit. While your tone’s pretty dreadful, your offer is indeed a tempting one.”“That said, I know that a prominent figure like you is only trying to make fun of us for saying those things…”“But I also know that if we do accept the offer, you’d actually give us the money.”“After all, your plane’s about to leave. You wouldn’t want to waste any more time here.”“You may be powerful and confident, but you have dead weight by your side right now.”“What would happen to Dean if we actually started fighting?”“He’s recovered a little, but he can’t even move his legs right now. At this point, he’s just target practice for us.”“Even if you’re God, it wouldn’t be hard for the seven of us to deal with the God of War.”Harvey nodded.“You’re pretty smart. I was hoping that we could talk this out. It’s bad luck to fight, anyway. After all, you people work for money, and
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!The leader revealed a horrible expression and quickly moved his arms around to block the attack, edging backward at the same time.He was fast, but Harvey was way faster.Harvey appeared in front of the leader like a shadow before throwing another punch.Bam!The sound of impact against a hard object could be heard; the leader must’ve been wearing high-tech armor.That said, Harvey’s punch was as strong as an earthquake; he instantly crushed right through the armor and reached the leader’s chest.There was a loud crack, and his chest instantly collapsed.His body flew back three feet at the speed of lightning, and blood gushed out of his chest the moment he landed. He coughed out blood, his face pale. In just a single hit, the leader was heavily injured.Everyone was dead silent.“Interesting. As expected from the leader of the Seven Absolutes to be a peak King of Arms.”Harvey sighed as he looked at his palm.“I didn’t think I couldn’t kill you wi
“Shut up!”The leader sent Dean a cold glare after hearing his words.“What right does an old dog like you have to lecture us?!”“If it wasn’t for you coming to our headquarters, killing the most promising people that could become Gods of War and severing our lineage, the Royal Court wouldn’t have ended up like this!”“What a shame! Hundreds of years worth of history destroyed, all because of an old b*stard!”“Even without this mission, we’ll make sure that you’re dead!”The other members of the organization were furious when they heard their leader’s words; they wanted to rip Dean to shreds so badly.Without question, Dean’s rise as a God of War was blatantly threatening the Royal Court’s existence.If not, they wouldn’t have been thinking about him for the past thirty years.Harvey looked curiously at Dean.‘Didn’t think that he was this impressive back then…’‘That’s only natural, though; any God of War had to be a legend one way or another.’“Just do what you have to do
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!Two and Three pounced at Harvey at the same time.A piercing sound of the air crackling could be heard, as extremely strong currents could be heard from them.In a blink of an eye, the two were already in front of Harvey.He remained calm despite it; he was even showing a hint of disdain.“You’re coming at me together?”Harvey smiled faintly, and swung his palms forward with a steady speed.Fwoosh!Two and Three were twitching their eyes frantically. Harvey’s slaps looked simple, but a terrifying power was hidden within them.In their eyes, the seemingly-ordinary slaps were infinitely expanding.Their heads started to feel numb; they felt like they were about to explode.Simply put, they only had such a reaction when they were in utter danger.“Die!”Two and Three screamed in unison; they knew they had no choice but to charge.Their machetes swung at the same time, hoping to keep Harvey’s slaps away.Slap!Slap!Loud slaps could be heard.Two
After seeing the Seven Absolutes swarming Harvey at the same time, Dean yelled weakly, “Look out, Sir York!”“It’s fine.”Harvey stepped forward casually.The first three killers pounced at Harvey at the same time; their attacks were as fierce and dominant as mountain tigers.Three machetes swung right toward Harvey.Harvey stepped back and calmly flicked his fingers, and swung his palm. Slap, slap, slap!The slaps easily snuck right in between the blades, hitting the killers’ faces.They quickly covered their swollen faces, stumbling back.“A God of War!”The leader finally realized Harvey’s true strength.“Kill him now!” he screamed frantically.Naturally, the killers were extremely envious of Harvey’s achievements despite his young age.At the same time, the fear in their hearts amplified.Two instantly swung his machete to the side; the attack looked like a surging wave crashing right into Harvey.This was one of the Seven Absolutes’ killer moves—the Surging Tide.
After the final shot, the leader was already far behind. There was a horrible look on his face.Other than Seven, who was paralyzed on the ground, the other six killers were glaring at Harvey while gritting their teeth.“How dare you use firearms?! That’s cheating!” the leader exclaimed, his hand trembling.Harvey looked calmly at the firearm in his hand.“Are you people shameless or?”“You used it first. You brought this here.”“I only made you taste your own medicine, yet you’re complaining already?”“Are you planning to report me to the police when I hurt you a little more?”“Are you going to get your families to chase me down so I’d pay for your funerals when you’re all dead after this?”The leader shot Harvey a resentful expression after hearing Harvey’s playful tone.“Go! Kill him!” he screamed furiously.Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!After realizing Harvey’s strength, the remaining six killers gripped their machetes with both hands and swung in Harvey’s direction.Their m
