Harvey York’s calm words completely froze Penny Jackson in place.She stared with disbelief. She did not expect Harvey to see through her trouble immediately.She instantly changed expression before showing a fierce glare.“You b*stard!” she exclaimed.“Have you been following me?!”Harvey let out a chuckle.“I’m not interested in a woman like you.“I’ve never even met you before today.“Where would I even follow you?“What would I follow you with?”Penny froze before letting out a cold scoff.“I admit, you do have some talent, but you’re definitely not on Mr. Davis’ level!“Geomancy arts are no match against astrology arts anyway!“With the bit of skill you have, you’re completely inferior!”Harvey calmly smiled.“Enough of this nonsense. Get your bishop to do his job already!”Eliel Braff and Watson Braff curiously looked at the sight. After all, it was quite interesting pitting geomancy arts against astrology arts.Besides, Penny had always been a princess figure of
“What?!”Penny Jackson gasped in disbelief.On the one hand, she did not expect the Braff family to have such a huge problem.On the other hand, she did not think that Harvey York could tell the problem with just a glance.Even Eliel Braff curiously looked at Harvey. Naturally, he had taken an interest in Harvey’s methods and prowess.Watson Braff’s eyes twitched after hearing those statements.“How is this possible?!“The family will be in dire straits in three months?!“Is this a joke?!”Eliel waved his hand.“This is my fault.“I should’ve left the place by now, but I wanted to preserve the property out of my feelings for home…“I didn’t think I’d get everyone else involved because of this…“This is my mistake!”Then, Eliel looked at Mr. Davis.“Do it then, Mr. Davis.“Blow up the house if you have to. Bury me alive if you must.“But I have one request: please don’t let my children get involved in this when everything’s done.”Naturally, Eliel had already said the
Naturally, Watson Braff would not be able to accept that fact.The Braff family was the head of the Hermit Families. They had lasted six hundred years throughout history, yet they only had three months left to live…This was simply unbelievable!Eliel Braff was unnerved by the news.“Alright. Enough of this. We won’t need many people to help with the house anymore.“Watson, Mr. Davis went out of his way just to come here.“Give him twenty ounces of gold to show our sincerity.”Naturally, time is of the essence for Eliel. The Braff family needed to use their remaining three months to prepare themselves.If not, they would be doomed without knowing what were to happen.Judging from the current situation, turning the Braff family into an ordinary family was their only way out.Eliel understood this. He did not want to fight against the current anymore.Mr. Davis was smart. He obviously knew what was on Eliel’s mind.“Thank you, Mr. Braff!” he said with a bitter chuckle.“That
“A hundred percent?!“You’re that confident?!Penny Jackson immediately lashed out.“Can you stop bluffing already?!“You keep doing this; pigs will actually start to fly!“How dare you say you’re that confident?!“You think this is a damn movie or something?!”After hearing Harvey York’s words, Watson Braff instinctively stepped forward.“I believe in Sir York!”He knew Harvey was a calm and resolute man.Since he said that he was confident, then that was nothing but the truth!“Not bad, young man!“At least I wasn’t this bold to trick people like this when I was around your age!Mr. Davis showed a disdainful glare as he stared at Harvey.“That said, you’d still have to show your strength no matter the case.“Pulling the crowd here will do you no good!“I’ll make it clear right now!“If you even manage to solve the problem, I’ll kneel and call you my master!”Naturally, Mr. Davis had a smooth sailing life for the longest time. His title as bishop of the Divine Prison
Harvey York lightly nodded.“That’s right.”“Good!”Eliel Braff burst out laughing, as if he had already decided.“Since you’re that confident, I’m willing to put the family’s fate in your hands!“Do as you wish, Harvey.”In Eliel’s eyes, he was more curious about Harvey, who seemed extremely confident in helping the family.Penny Jackson could not hold her feelings back when she realized Harvey managed to gain Eliel’s trust.“Grandpa Eliel…”Mr. Davis’ handsome face turned dark before he waved both his hands.“You can’t, Mr. Braff! You can’t!“You’ll be in deep trouble if you actually trust his conman!“Even I wouldn’t be able to deal with the mess when that happens!”“It’s already settled.Eliel smiled while crossing his arms.“How are you planning to deal with this, Harvey?“Are you going to tear this place down as well?”Penny coldly glared at Harvey.“If anything happens to the family, I’ll drag you down!“I’ll make your friends and family join you too!”Harvey
Eliel Braff was pondering the situation.“The Royal Soul?” Penny Jackson coldly exclaimed.“Do you think this is some kind of movie?! There’s no way everything’s as absurd as you claim!”In Penny’s mind, Harvey York’s words were no different than movie scripts, and she would be insane to believe such a thing.Mr. Davis thought about the situation before pulling out a crystal ball.That said, he could not see the Royal Blood with things like astrology arts.Harvey completely ignored the others when he quietly told Watson Braff something.Watson froze before he left.A few minutes later, he brought over an ancient steel plate used to burn offerings.“What’s this for?“You’re going to burn offerings for the ancestor’s forgiveness?“Are you people really into materialistic goods?”Mr. Davis and the people behind looked at each other.“Is this a joke?“What’s the point of us if you can just do something like that?”Penny’s face instantly darkened. If Harvey only pretended to
Harvey put the drawing on the dinner plate, then hung it at where the portrait was before.“From now on, don’t let anyone in this place for three whole days.“Afterward, burn the drawing. Do that, and your family will be able to last for another hundred years.”Eliel was shocked, but then nodded. He felt his exhaustion disappear, together with the gloomy aura surrounding the house. He couldn’t be sure if the feeling was real, or if it was just a psychological effect. Nonetheless, the gloom from before was replaced by liveliness—as if his family had received a second chance.Mr. Davis, who kept a close watch on Eliel, looked as if he had seen a ghost.“How? How is this possible?!”Penny was confused. “Is there a problem?”“No, not at all!” Mr. Davis exclaimed, filled with disbelief.“I could immediately tell that Mr. Braff was covered in gloom before.“The entire house, too.“But now, that’s completely gone!“This… This is simply godly!“This is insane!“What extraordi
In Mr. Davis’s eyes, Harvey was clearly a very talented figure.He was convinced Harvey was leagues above him.At that very moment, he wasted no time kneeling. His knees slammed to the ground.“A good man never breaks his promise!“From now on, you’re my teacher!“Please! Entrust your wisdom to me!”Mr. Davis banged his head to the ground.Everyone behind him were stunned. They couldn’t even say a single word.After all, Mr. Davis was the youngest bishop of the Holy See. He was an intimidating being. Yet, he was kneeling in front of another man.‘Wh… My God!’Nobody knew how to feel about the situation.Penny’s eyes twitched; after remembering the promise she made to Harvey, she gritted her teeth and stepped forward.“I was ignorant before, Harvey. From now on, I’ll…”“You’re too kind, Mr. Davis.”Before Penny could finish her sentence, Harvey immediately cut her off and lifted Mr. Davis off the ground.“I have no right to be your master.“Mr. Braff, Director Braff, rem
"I'll give you ten minutes to walk out of there without your clothes on! If you do that, I won't kill anymore of your bodyguards. If you're still not here in ten minutes, then I'm sorry, but the flames will consume you. I'll remember to visit you at your grave next year!" Sora laughed strangely after that.Everyone who heard his laughter could only feel a chill in their bones as they felt disgusted. Mandy's expression became even darker. She did not refuse him immediately, though. While she knew he was playing a game of cat and mouse, those ten minutes might just be enough to save them.-At the same time. Outside of the manor. Sora and his group of confidantes had already arrived at the entrance of the manor. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the terrace. After he waved his hands, his confidante spread out and sealed the remaining entrances.Next to Sora was a swordsman with a mustache. His eyes were full of spirit. It was obvious that he was an elite, the kind who could crush al
"Watch out!" It was at this time when Seven suddenly pulled Mandy over to the side, as his expression darkened. At the same time, one of the pieces of ballistic glass shook and fell on the floor. Then, bolts that seemed like rain stormed into the terrace, falling right where Mandy was standing.If it was not because of Seven's quick actions, Mandy might have already become a human pincushion. She was immediately covered in cold sweat. While she had personally grown and become a successful businesswoman, she had never been in many of these kinds of life and death situations.Whoosh!It was as if the people outside had noticed an opening, they continuously fired the Repeating Crossbow. As they did that, one of the bodyguards who could not dodge in time collapsed on the ground as he held his thigh. A bolt pierced through his thigh, and he immediately lost his ability to fight.Mandy quickly said, "Quick! Drag him over! It's too dangerous over there!"The two bodyguards trembled, and
"Ms. Mandy, you should run now! Run from the back! I can still hold them up for about 15 minutes!" Seven said in a bitter voice as he peeked outside from the door's gap from inside the manor. "If you don't, we won't be able to escape once they rush in. We're almost out of ammo. If we don't fight our way out, we'll all end up dead!"Mandy hesitated a little when she saw how Seven was becoming somewhat concerned and said, "Sure. We'll leave from the back door. But they're here for me. I can't escape. All of you should go and I'll cover you!"Mandy's expression was resolute. Seven was slightly stunned before saying, "Don't joke about something like that, Ms. Mandy. While I'm not one of your followers, but as a bodyguard of the Jeans of Mor'du, there's no way I can escape before you have safely retreated. If I do that, not only will I be unable to face the family, but I also won't be able to face myself and stay in this world!"All the bodyguards exchanged looks and said, "That's right,
The young man in the white suit was not that old. He was at least in his mid-twenties. However, his cheeks were somewhat red. It was obvious that years of excessive drinking and womanizing have left him too depleted for anything to be able to help him. But even then, he still looked in front with greed and obsession, as if wanting to push the woman in the manor to the ground and tear her apart.It was obvious that this man was the scion of the Origin Sword Style, Sora Yamamoto.Sora did not think much about the death of the Origin Sword Style elites. He did not even feel much about their death, as if their death had nothing to do with him."Sir, it's not that the woman is strong. It's the simple fact that no one expected her to have the Royal Flush with her… And she has plenty of it too. From the results of us testing her, the woman isn't saving the Royal Flush for something else when she had her bodyguards use them. I suspect that she had an unlimited supply of it.""You idiot!" S
"Too weak," Harvey sighed. In the next instant, he lifted his right foot and planted it on a broken piece of rock. Instantly, the rock shot out and headed straight to Sverker's throat. It was obvious that Harvey did not wish to leave the Origin Sword Style's number one elite alive."You fool…!" Sverker's entire soul was shuddering as he could feel Death coming for him. He let out a roar and all the energy within his body started to flow, wanting to use that to stop Harvey's attack. However, his thoughts were faster than he could act.The moment he wanted to fight back, he could feel the taste of blood in his mouth. The small rock had already pierced through his throat. In that instant, Sverker's thoughts instantly stopped as he lost the strength to struggle. Then, he collapsed on the ground just like that.There was anger, despair, and even doubt in his eyes.He could not believe that as an elite of the Origin Sword Style, as one of the few most powerful men in Sky Plane, how he en
When the palm strike was going to reach Sverker, Harvey changed his palm strike into a finger strike. He flicked his finger at the edge of the blade.Clank!"Gah!"Sverker seemed shocked as his body shook. There was even blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. He was in a terrible state as he took a few steps back."Mr. Sverker!" All the women cried out at the same time, with shocked expressions. They could not believe that not only did Harvey manage to easily block the legendary Three Slashes, but most importantly he was able to force Sverker some distance back with just the flick of his finger!He was beyond terrifying!"Damn you, kid! Do you think this is my full power?" Sverker's temper was at boiling point after the continuous failures as he gritted his teeth. "I will send you to Hell with all three slashes fused into one!""I better be the one sending you to Hell. I'm already bored with your sword technique," replied Harvey casually. Before Sverker could even attack,
"Your life is worth so little and you want to drag us along to hell? Who do you think you are? All of you are just the same! Selfish to the core!" the woman yelled at Harvey. It was clear that no matter what Harvey did, she wouldn't like it.Harvey glanced at her and said, "We can forget a moment about how your Mr. Sverker is the one who wanted to die alongside me out of shame and anger, let's talk about you. Who else can you blame but yourself by wasting time here instead of running? Not to mention, he can't do anything to me even if he can slash time and the universe."You have overestimated Sverker. He's nothing but trash. I simply wanted to see how powerful the Sword Style Origin's technique is." Harvey then gave Sverker a look. "But at this level, I can easily dispel it with just one strike.""You…" Sverker was so angry that he shuddered. He wasn't going to waste any more time. He gritted his teeth and once again slashed at where Harvey was standing."Timely Slash!"A
"Is that right?" Harvey asked the woman.He looked at Sverker's dark expression."Oh, he's being that nice? Why not give me a few more concessions? Why don't you go easy on me and miss all three slashes?""Damn you! Damn you all!" Sverker's expression turned dark by Harvey's snickering. He pounced forward again. In just an instant, he already appeared before Harvey. His body suddenly swayed and separated into eight afterimages; all of them instantly slashed from all eight directions."Earthly Slash!"Whoosh!As Sverker made that attack, a screeching sound filled the entire marsh. Sverker attacked Harvey like a flash of lightning. The moment the blade almost reached Harvey, a dreadful aura expanded from it, as if a black light was covering the surface of the blade.The attack seemed to have come from the depths of Hell itself, carrying the wrath of countless ghosts.Harvey's expression was cold as his fist turned into a palm strike, and he attacked straight ahead. His attack w
"Idiot!" Sverker smiled coldly as his figure flashed as he pounced forth like a bolt of lightning. The sword in his hand was immediately pulled out from its sheath, like a shooting star across the sky.Compared to the attack just now, this attack was simply and much more direct. There wasn't even much strength behind it. However, those in the know would know that an attack like this was the most powerful.Sverker believed he could easily kill Harvey on the spot."So what if you defeated all the six schools? So what if you defeated all the prodigies from Country I? So what if you defeated Mark?" Sverker smiled coldly as he attacked. "All the so-called True Warriors were joking to me… Because I am the one who kills True Warriors!" Sverker smiled coldly as he unleashed his first strike."Heavenly Slash!" A scarlet light suddenly flashed through Sverker's blade. Harvey raised his head; the attack that was going to split the sky had arrived. Before the blade even reached h
