Penny was boiling with anger.Before, she had already been embarrassed in the Braff family’s residence.When she was just about to give herself to Harvey…He stumbled out of the place without any warning.She didn’t know whether he was shy or a coward, but in her eyes, this was outright humiliating.Whenever she thought of him, she would grit her teeth in anger. She planned to look for Harvey at Fortune Hall a few times, but every single time, she gave up as soon as she stood at the entrance.Despite her education in the West, she was still quite timid.Her heart had been going through all sorts of conundrums for the past few days. Naturally, she blamed it all on Harvey.Seeing him show up with a pitiful sigh, she wanted to strangle him to death so badly.When Harvey saw her vengeful glare, he instinctively shivered. He quickly went behind Darwin to avoid her.This woman was just too troublesome. He didn’t want anything to do with her at all.Since he couldn’t afford to go
Safe to say, Penny had already lost before the fight even started.Everyone was dead silent.They all looked at each other, not knowing what to do.Harvey was just too fast!Speed was the only way to long success, after all…And yet, Harvey’s speed was way beyond anyone’s imagination!Even an expert like Darwin couldn’t see how Harvey moved.Quill was in slight shock; he managed to see Harvey’s speed. “You’re no match for me, Ms. Penny.”Harvey smiled faintly as he pulled his hand back.A faint fragrance lingered between his fingers.Penny’s face was bright red; her body shook, and she quickly stumbled back.Naturally, it was her first time being this close to a man.Harvey’s masculine aura was enough to make her shiver. She didn’t think that Harvey was this quick and skillful.She flung her hand, revealing an exquisite-looking firearm. She planned to fight Harvey to the death!“How dare you flirt with me like that, you bastard…?”She took off the safety of her firearm
“It’s fine,” Harvey said casually with a smile on his face.“You’re young; you look distant, but you’re headstrong.“Other than the fact that you’ve been living in the West and taking in too much of that culture, you’ve been training your hidden martial arts like you would any other foreign fighting skills.“Without a place to vent your energy, you’ll naturally be filled with fire…“Since you’ve been having bad luck with men, it’s normal for you to be boiling with anger.“Under such circumstances, all you’ve been thinking about is to lash out whenever you please.“It was instinct that you came after me.“It’s not that you actually hate me—you hate everyone equally.“Or rather, you hate all men equally.”Quill froze, and revealed a profound expression.“Heh, heh, heh! I admit, you’re quite proficient in geomancy arts…but I’m not a match against you in terms of martial arts either!” Penny said.She laughed coldly.“However, the Heaven’s Fist is one of the Heaven’s Gate’s best
Harvey glanced at Darwin after that.“You were almost completely paralyzed before. The Corpse Walkers were involved to a certain extent.“However, the Heaven’s Fist is also one of the causes.“You’re already hurting yourself just by training. Now, your body is inferior compared to an ordinary martial artist.“Once you get hurt, it’ll be hard for you to recover. The damage would probably increase, too…”Darwin’s expression turned horrible.“That’s right. I knew that the Twisted Palm couldn’t compare to the Heaven’s Fist, no matter how impressive the Corpse Walkers were. After all, the sacred martial arts training ground isn’t for show!“So that’s the real reason!“If I recall, out of the three forbidden martial arts by Heaven’s Gate, the descendants of the Heaven’s Fist would never go past their sixties…“Mr. Gibson thought this was because of our luck, but…“It’s the martial arts that’s the problem, after all!”Darwin didn’t even know how to feel at that moment.If Harvey w
“The Heaven’s Fist is a forbidden martial art for both the Gibson family and Heaven’s Gate!“Without this, how is the family supposed to maintain the position within the sacred martial arts’ training ground?”Penny was worried. For a family of martial artists, martial arts that could be passed down between generations was far more important than many other things.Quill looked at her with a horrible expression.“From now on, nobody in the family will be allowed to practice the Heaven’s Fist!“Those who do will be considered as traitors!”Quill was a decisive man; in his eyes, his family’s life was a lot more important than the martial arts. That said, he was still heartbroken when he said those words.After all, the Heaven’s Fist had been passed down for hundreds of years. Yet, it had to end with him.Even so, those who trained in it couldn’t even go past their sixties.He believed he should be determined about the decision.Penny became sluggish.She had spent quite a few y
“You’d even provide us with the very thing that our martial arts have been missing!“You’d be saving so many disciples of the Gibson family.“I’ll never be able to return the favor!“If you don’t mind, let’s become sworn brothers!“We’ll start right now!“Now, you’re the senior of all disciples of the Golden Sands’s Heaven’s Gate branch!“Whoever offends you will be offending me.“Whoever goes against you will be going against me, too!”‘Sworn brothers?’‘Senior of the Heaven’s Gate?!’The people froze in place; they couldn’t come to their senses.Harvey did the same.Penny as well.Darwin couldn’t even believe what he just heard; if this was true, Harvey’s status would be a lot higher than his!The other higher-ups looked at each other; they wanted to stop this from happening, but they knew full well why Quill decided to do this.They’d be insane if they didn’t pull such a prominent figure to their side!“I’ll treat your silence as agreement, Harvey.“We from the unde
The Gibson family watched with puzzled gazes as they were bestowed another senior.They couldn’t wrap their heads around it.Judging from Harvey’s status, he wouldn’t be benefitting anything from this situation. In fact, Quill and the Gibson family would.“Hahaha! Good! You really are an honest man!”Quill burst out laughing.“Come here, Penny! Come greet your senior!”Penny walked forward, her previously prideful expression completely gone.“Senior…”She didn’t even know what expression she should have. Before, she wanted to force Harvey to marry her no matter what.But now, since there was seniority involved, there was no chance for that anymore.More importantly, with Harvey’s status, she had no other option but to show him her respect. Just that alone drove her to the verge of passing out.Darwin stepped forward, smiling. “Mr. York…”Compared to Penny, he was filled with admiration.Harvey was quite speechless. “Just call me by my name, Darwin. I can’t get used to you
After he finished writing everything, Harvey began to speak. “The Gash Fist is a ferocious technique. When you use it, all the energy inside you will accumulate, especially when you attack. It needs to be dealt with as soon as possible.“Now, look closely.”Harvey threw out a punch.His movement wasn’t very different from Penny’s, but he was swifter and fiercer, and gentler. He went through Heaven’s Fist entire move set. Though his punches seemed soft, their impact grew stronger and stronger over time. Upon doing the final punch, an invisible wave broke out of his fist and caused the ground to shake.“How is this possible?”Seeing Harvey casually demonstrate such strength, Darwin and the others gasped.His punches were clearly a lot stronger compared to Penny’s.Anyone who used Heaven’s Fist could raise their strength threefold.The way he regulated energy wasn’t that complicated, either. It was incorporated perfectly into the martial arts, both physically and mentally.
"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
