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.
Even Quill didn’t believe in Harvey’s methods.After all, those who could achieve such a feat would definitely be a God of War. Ordinary Kings of Arms weren’t capable of doing such a thing.In the next moment, however, Quill looked at Harvey in shock. His face froze.A surge of energy resembling a huge wave was guiding his inner energy, moving all around his body. His ruined organs and clogged veins were all restored.Harvey had essentially trained Quill’s energy.Quill could feel a small difference between what Harvey did to regulate his energy, and what Harvey actually wrote down for the rest to see.Despite that, the difference was enough to carry the Heaven’s Fist to another level.Simply put, Harvey had given Quill an ace in the hole to ensure his position in both the Gibson family and Heaven’s Gate remain uncontested.“Argh!”As soon as Harvey let go of his fingers, Quill instantly shivered. Surging energy seeped out of his body. He didn’t need anyone’s help to stand any
While Clarion and Harvey were talking, the Origin Sword Style elites were already slowly coming closer.600 feet. 300 feet. 150 feet!As they drew closer, everyone could see their murderous expression. Their firearms already had their safety off. One could also see there were no longer any gaps in their encirclement.With how things were going, the only two options for Harvey and his men were to either get killed or to simply surrender.As they drew closer, not only was Clarion sweating, but all his bodyguards also had cold sweat on their foreheads.Only Harvey wasn't doing anything. He simply narrowed his eyes as if he was quietly calculating something. When there were only 60 feet left, he suddenly said, "You have two seconds."Harvey suddenly slammed his foot on the ground.Boom!A powerful shockwave extended outward, and all the Origin Sword Style elites surrounding them were subconsciously stunned. The shield they were holding momentarily left the ground."Warsong! Fire
At Clarion's order, all his bodyguards immediately dragged out several black suitcases. Within were black holes with blue bullets. It was obvious these bullets were created to be used on Martial Arts elites. The damage they could deal was beyond anyone's imagination.The bodyguards stood in front of Harvey and Clarion with the suitcases, ready to fight their enemies to the bitter end.When the Origin Sword Style elites saw how Harvey and the others reacted, they took out a shield and placed it in front of them. It was obvious they were prepared.Or perhaps, it was easier to say that the Origin Sword Style elites already knew what they had prepared.Clarion's expression darkened. "How did these fools manage to guess we're here with the Warsongs?"Harvey narrowed his eyes. "Is there a possibility that they didn't make a guess, but instead already received news about how many people we brought and what kind of weapons, so they could make preparations for us?"Clarion was stunned. "W
Boom! Boom! Boom!There was a string of explosions in mid-air. The bolts had also been engulfed by the explosion. Even after Harvey had managed to negate the attacks, he didn't stop. He grabbed the rocks from the ground with his hand.Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!Several elites hidden in the shadows instantly lost their fighting skills."He really is a True Warrior," Clarion muttered when he saw what happened. He wasn't even sure what to say.He thought he should be able to put himself to some use this time, hence why he asked to come with Harvey. He didn't expect Harvey to be so powerful that he needed others at all.Very quickly, all the attackers gathered. It was obvious they knew they couldn't do anything to Harvey anymore."These people are from the Origin Sword Style!" Clarion said seriously after he looked at what the attackers were wearing. "They're quite troublesome. While they look like they're over-the-top, they're most likely sacrificial soldiers. But the problem is t
"Of course, if we can maintain absolute discretion, we can escape without alerting anyone once we find Ms. Mandy," Clarion said, remaining positive. "That way, we don't have to fight and draw the attention of those who hold power in Sky Plane."Harvey was sitting in the van. He frowned and looked at the buildings with clear Island Nation influence. "Since Daichi is blackmailing me using Mandy, that means they're confident we won't be able to take her away. I believe we'll have to fight with those from the Origin Sword Style today."Harvey gave it a thought for a while and said, "And don't you think that the information Vaida gave us is too accurate? As if someone left behind an opening for us."Clarion's eyes widened. "Don't tell me this is a trap just for us?"Harvey shook his head. "Not only for us, but also for Grand City. If we're really stuck here… It doesn't matter if we're killed or captured alive, we'll become the excuse for them to attack Grand City. This time, we must…"
Sky Plane's countryside, Clover Hotel.In the Clover Hotel's VIP area, a mansion at the edge of the hotel, Mandy was looking outside with a deep frown. At this time, someone gently knocked at her door from the outside."Come in," Mandy said.The leader of the security team, Seven Jean of the Jeans of Mordu, came in. He bowed to Mandy with respect before saying calmly, "Ms. Mandy, according to the information I've received, the women you've saved have been sent out of Sky Plane. I've also confirmed the people we came into conflict with. He's Yamamoto Sora, scion of the Origin Sword Style."The school's status is very high in Sky Plane. While we managed to get some protection for the time being, I believe we won't be able to make this disappear so quickly. Our visa only has an effective duration of seven days. Once the time is up, Sky Plane will have an excuse to remove all the security here. We'll be in danger when that happens."I think we should leave Sky Plane immediately whil
Mandy reacted very quickly, as if she understood something. She quickly said to Harvey through the phone, "I'm on the sixth floor of a hotel! I…"Before she could even finish, Daichi had already hung up the call with a tap. He then gave Harvey a meaningful look. "There are some rules you should keep, Mr. Harvey. Otherwise, if the people from Sky Plane's side have a misunderstanding, I can't tell what will happen next."Alright. Let's get into the main topic. Ms. Mandy is very safe right now, but I believe that her safety can only be maintained for two to three days. My men can't continue protecting her without a good reason, right? "Once it has been confirmed that there's nothing here that I want, my people who maintain her protection will be pulled back immediately. No one can tell what will happen after that."Daichi gave Harvey a dry smile. "That's why you'll be in control of Ms. Mandy's life and death. We are people who keep our side of the deals. We hope you can maintai
Harvey's expression was calm as he said coldly to Daichi, "No matter how good and logical you make it sound, the truth is, you're threatening me. Rather than being threatened by the Sky Plane, why don't you stick around and be my hostage for an exchange?"As soon as Harvey had finished saying that, he slammed his hand on the table. A piece of wood immediately fired out from the table and pierced into the chair's backrest, just next to Daichi's ear.However, Harvey was in for a surprise. Even in a situation like this, Daichi was still able to maintain his calmness as he continued to enjoy his meal. It was as if the one about to die here wasn't him.Once Daichi had chewed his food slowly and swallowed it, only then did he smile at Harvey. "Mr. Harvey, or Mr. Representative. Do you really think fighting can solve everything? It's true I'm from the branch family of the Ruling Royal Family and the blood of royalty flows in my veins, but there are too many like me. So many that I am eas
"Most importantly, this matter with Ms. Mandy happened in Sky Plane—which means outsiders can't enter quietly and save her," Daichi said to Harvey with a smile. "But don't worry, Harvey. We know Ms. Mandy is yours, so we'll find a way to keep protecting her. How to protect her and for how long would depend on your sincerity, though."Harvey's expression was cold as he said slowly, "And here I thought you'd tell me you'd do everything to protect Mandy, making a show despite how shameless you are. I didn't expect you to be so direct—in threatening me! If I refuse your request, Mandy will immediately fall into Sora's hand, right?"Daichi smiled faintly. "You're indeed a perceptive and decisive man. It makes things easier for me to work with someone like you. I will tell you what you need to do—or perhaps, it's easier for me to say what price you need to pay for Mandy's return."Daichi took a final bite of his fish and said with a smug smile, "It's simple. Give me the Chapter of Ascensi
Daichi smiled faintly and said, "I know very well that in the eyes of people like you, Islanders like us are detestable. Speaking with us, working with us, and even eating a meal with us is quite disgusting, right?"However, we must all learn to be patient. It has already happened for quite some time. Is there a point in rushing through these few minutes? It's better for us to share a good meal and have a chat afterward."Daichi slowly partook in the meal, putting a piece of fish into his mouth and chewing slowly. At the same time, he narrowed his eyes as he looked at Harvey, his eyes filled with subtle amusement.Daichi found the meal before him quite enjoyable. He also found himself quite satisfied looking at Harvey showing a hint of irritation."Looks like you really think that you have me under control," Harvey said coldly. "But I can tell you that by just sitting here, my patience is already at its limit. I have a habit, too. Rather than being threatened by someone, I prefer t
