The men looked at each other for a moment. Then, a Westerner leading the group walked forward, prepared to slap Prince to the ground.Bam!Prince smacked the man down with his crutch without holding back. He then swung the crutch down again.Crack!A bone was snapped immediately.Since Harvey gave the order to break some legs, Prince naturally wouldn’t hold back.“Get him!”The remaining guards froze for a moment, then rushed with their fists.Even with his legs covered in plaster, Prince was still Quill’s son; why would he be afraid of a bunch of bodyguards in the first place?In under a minute, the men were all beaten down. They lay on the floor with their legs broken, wailing in pain.The last one standing frantically rushed backward; his entire body was shivering in fear even as he stood in front of Charlize.“You…”Charlize was bewildered.‘Even a cripple is this impressive?‘What a joke!‘He took down a dozen of my men with his crutch?‘Nobody would even believe m
Calling the cops was destined to be useless. The Foster family was the one who caused trouble in the first place, and yet, they were the ones demanding justice.When Soren got the call, he quickly hung up after haphazardly skimming past the subject.Charlize was so angry, she was on the verge of coughing up blood.She had no choice but to return to the Ostrane Five, shivering in fear. She kneeled with a horrible expression as she explained everything in detail to Amora.“That bastard doesn’t respect the family at all, milady!“Not only did he decline our kindness, but he even got his people to smash our cars and break our men’s legs!“He even told us that he’ll make us suffer if we don’t get out of the city in three days!”Naturally, Charlize wouldn’t expose herself for acting high and mighty. Instead, she put all the blame on Harvey.She believed Amora would take out Harvey in a fit of rage to quell her anger as well.Charlize was just a subordinate, but she wouldn’t allow he
Charlize was overjoyed; she believed she could regain her pride back through this. A man in his nightgown walked down the spiral staircase just as she was about to make the call. There were a few subordinates following him, but he was stubborn enough to walk on his own instead of relying on others.He was none other than the high and mighty head of the Foster family, Brayan.A man from the top-rated circle of the entire country would naturally have his own pride and dignity.“Father!” Amora rushed forward, and took his hand.Charlize and the others kneeled; they were shivering in fear, too afraid to make a single sound.Brayan sat casually in his chair, and took a sip of his black tea before finally speaking up.“It’d be embarrassing if we called the royal court for such a trivial matter.”Naturally, Brayan managed to keep himself under control with Mr. Davis’s help. He was holding a cross in his hand. For the time being, his expression was back to normal.“Father, I’m planni
While the Foster family pondered on whether they should wait for a few more days or not…Under the Indigo Mountain, an ancient manor beside the Hulroy Lake was brimming with lights. The place seemed to be destroyed after a huge battle; smoky trails could be seen all over.Looking closely, many bodyguards with firearms could be seen standing in the shadows of the building.The howling night winds made everyone shiver. In the deepest parts of the manor was an old-looking villa, decorated extravagantly on the inside.A fire burned brightly in a European-style fireplace.A massive round table was set in the middle of the hall. There were a few people leaning on a big, comfortable Italian couch. Blaine wasn’t present, but his associates were. They were all people who worked under Vaughn.Vaughn was playing with an ancient vase, making sounds of approval, as if he was interested in it. In front of him was none other than Nameless, sitting cross-legged, clad in a white suit.Two of
Vaughn grinned when he heard the killing intent in Nameless’s words.“As long as you’re happy with the documents provided.“Right! Young Master John told me something.”Hearing that Blaine was mentioned, Nameless slowly sat up straight despite his high and mighty attitude. “What is he asking?”“He said that the John family has suffered some losses recently, and they seem to all be connected to Harvey.“He’d only embarrass himself if he went against Harvey, who has a high status now.“It’d be better if you do it instead. He could clean up for you after that.”It was clear that Vaughn’s words had a different meaning; he sounded quite encouraging.Nameless froze. Then, he smiled.“I’d just be dealing with some bugs for Young Master John, anyway. It’s just business between us.”“It’s better to be more open-minded. You should know, Young Master John’s strength in the city isn’t something you can imagine.“The Patel family and the six Hermit Families, they’re all just worthless tr
“Not only are they strong and ruthless, but they’re all Kshatriyas of India as well!“Not a lot of people here has the guts to lay a finger on people like them.“After all, it’d cause an international dispute!”Nameless was proud.Vaughn was shocked by what he heard.“How unexpected! I didn’t think Mr. Faceless could get such people here.“Other than the John family, nobody else can suppress the Rakshasa Monks!“Kshatriyas could trample on so many people!”Nameless felt proud after hearing such praise.“Aside from that, I contacted the Abito Way as well. The outer elder was furious after hearing that his outstanding disciple was killed by such a despicable man.“Three experts of the Abito Way are on their way here after the outer elder told them to seek justice!”“Evermore, the Abito Way, and the Celestial Temple’s Rakshasa Monks…“With all of these people, Harvey and Julian are as good as dead.“Not just them, but I’ll trample the Patel family and the Hermit Families to t
While Vaughn and Nameless were having a heart-to-heart talk, Harvey received a video call in Fortune Hall.Kairi, on the other side, was wearing a short skirt. Her long, alluring legs could occasionally be seen. Even with Harvey’s strong willpower, he couldn’t help but be impressed by Kairi’s ability to lure him from afar. Sensing Harvey’s odd expression, Kairi smiled proudly before sipping some tea. “I called you for something important, Sir York.”Harvey gestured for Kairi to continue.“We kept a close eye on Nameless and the rest these past few days.“Evermore wouldn’t just give up after their loss here.“Blaine hasn’t taken any action, but Vaughn has visited him three times. Every time, he’d stay for at least three hours.“Judging from this, we can tell that even the Thompson family is probably involved with Evermore.“Also, there have been quite a lot of new faces entering the city. These people have one thing in common: they’re all martial arts experts.“They didn’t t
“According to the information we have, Faceless is still secluding himself abroad.“Apparently, he’s still trying to become a God of War and hasn’t come back because of that.“He did call three of the Celestial Temple’s Rakshasa Monks to Golden Sands. Not only are they Kshatriyas of India, but they also studied under one of the Three Great Monks, Julio Garcia.“After he defeated Dean Cobb, the South Sea’s God of War, his name spread far and wide. His disciples are naturally no pushovers while they’re riding his momentum.“I suspect that these Rakshasa Monks are leagues above the top fighters of the Island Nations’s younger generation, too. “These people stayed in Nameless’s manor as soon as they arrived. They might have received a price on their deal by now.“Other than that, the Abito Way has been taking action as well. Some of Matsuda’s associates from the same school have terrifying strength and skill. “Their swordsmanship is nothing short of immaculate.“These people have
"You are really quite impressive, Ethan. But do you dare to go against the Ministry of Defense's orders openly? I suggest you better give your great elder a call. Or maybe wait for him to call you!" Lanny said as if she had gotten an ace in a hole."I'm worried that you'll accidentally cause a chain effect and lose everything," Ethan coldly replied as he stared at Lanny with a similar coldness in his eyes. To him, none of his leaders could compare with the importance of the chief instructor. But the problem was, he could not inform the great elder why he did this. That was why even someone resolute like Ethan could not help but frown.However, his expression quickly returned calm. "Looks like Grand City isn't as powerful. Not only can you do nothing to me, but you even have to use your favors and connections from the past to stop me. And now, I'm even more convinced that Mr. Harvey is innocent! So, my apologies, but tonight, I don't care who calls me… I'm not going to stop!"Then, E
"You have reasons?" There was fury in Lanny's eyes. "Then tell me, what reasons are they?"Ethan seemed disdainful. "With your status? You don't have the right to know what the reasons are."He did not make that up, though. Lanny really did not have the authority to know Harvey's actual status. "Alright, let's not waste our time. Tell your people to put down your weapons, raise their hands, and squat over there. All my friends here are very impatient. If both sides went into conflict and accidentally killed a few people…"Well. It's going to be categorized as a training exercise accident. We don't have to bear any responsibility for it."Ethan's words were calm, as if everything he said made total and natural sense."Ethan!" Lanny shuddered in anger. "Grand City and the Ministry of Defense have always kept a respectful distance from each other. Are you going to make Grand City your enemy just for this man over here? Have you considered the consequences and whether it was worth it?
Grand City was outside the usual system within Country H. However, the truth was that it was a place where all the Sacred Training Grounds congregated together. Whether it was Country H in its current form or when all the other dynasties ruled it, it had always been an untouchable faction.Not to mention that they were protected by the Seven Families as well as the other Sacred Training Grounds. If they decided to fight, the power Grand City could call upon could far surpass what others could have imagined.That was why Lanny believed they had a fighting chance even when they faced the legendary Sword Camp."Grand City's reputation really does precede itself. And you're really quite impressive yourself," Ethan said as he clapped his hands. "If it's someone else, they would be kneeling on the ground shuddering, right? Unfortunately, you forgot that we survived on real battlefields. We do not fear death. Besides the Chief Instructor, every soldier in this camp is a King of Arms! Even
Harvey slightly frowned. He was shocked that Ethan had arrived. He even brought 500 soldiers from the Sword Camp. Was he attempting to destroy the entire Forbidden Wasteland?The 500 soldiers immediately encircled the entire Forbidden Wasteland as Harvey calmly watched how things developed. All of them had a sword by their waist, and their right hand was at the hilt. While they had not pulled out their swords yet, they were exuding a malevolent aura around them.Harvey had trained each of them, and they had all gone to war with him in the past. When they saw that Harvey was completely unharmed, they were both filled with excitement and relief. However, because of their orders, none of them went to salute him."So, this is the famous Forbidden Wasteland of World City. It was said that the people who were imprisoned here could never leave. I wonder if the Sword Camp can leave this place in one piece?"Ethan, who was in his military uniform, jumped off from the helicopter in mid-air.
Harvey narrowed his eyes as he looked at Lanny. There was only disdain in his eyes. "You said that you're doing everything by your law… But in truth, you simply want to make things worse. Despite looking like an agent of justice right now, what is happening right now is what you wanted the most."I'm the representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance, which makes me the mayor of Grand City in name. Whether you want to interrogate or set me up, all of you must consider the consequences of your actions. But what if I was the one that did it first? That would give you a reason to attack me, right?"I have to admit that it indeed worked in your favor, Lanny. But it also showed me the truth about Grand City! Rules and laws that have existed since ancient times? All of them were jokes and excuses!"Blade listened to Harvey with a dark expression, as if his beliefs were challenged. Meanwhile, Lanny remained calm. She breathed deeply and gave a cold reply, "Stop wasting your breath, Ha
All of Clarion's men exchanged looks. They did not want to but had no choice but to retreat. It was obvious that they could not simply watch Neve die like that. Harvey quickly motioned to Mandy, signaling for her to exit with her.Shortly after, they arrived at an empty space on the surface. An armed helicopter was waiting there. They had moved it here from somewhere, and it was also warmed up. Harvey took Neve hostage and was going to bring Mandy up into the helicopter.But before they could get any closer, hundreds of men and women in uniform appeared and surrounded them. They were all armed with weapons such as Rainstorm Needles and Royal Flushes, specially designed against martial arts masters. If they were used, the damage they could cause would be devastating."Do you really think you can escape, Harvey?" Lanny walked out from behind the crowd."I've indeed prepared a helicopter for you, but do you dare to go up? If you do, we have plenty of weapons to take it down so you can
Blade's expression turned extremely dark when he heard what Harvey had said. For someone like him, who had obeyed the laws of Grand City all his life, what Harvey had said was a hard pill to swallow. The point was that Harvey was right.While what happened looked like a coincidence, it resulted from Lanny's deliberate neglect. Was it not a joke for them to want Harvey to follow the rules when they themselves broke the rule first?However, Neve did not seem like she was threatened at all. She was already in a state of crazed fury, and she smiled. "You killed my fiance and then slapped me? Do you think you can leave just like this? Dream on! Even if I had to die today, I'll drag you down into the grave with me!"Crack!Harvey tightened his grip and snapped Neve's right arm. Then, he took the Rainstorm Needles and aimed them at Neve's head again. This simple action showed Harvey's determination.Neve almost let out a scream of pain as she could not stop shuddering from the pain of he
Neve, Lanny, and the others figured that once they captured Mandy, they would have it in the bag. They could do whatever they wanted to Harvey. However, they did not expect Harvey to respond with such fierceness."How dare you, Harvey!" After a moment of silence, Clarion finally reacted to what had happened. And as he waved his hand, everyone around him immediately rushed over. All of them raised the Rainstorm Needles in their hands, aiming at Harvey. It was as if they would turn Harvey into a beehive if he dared to make another move."How dare you touch me? Even my dad never hit me! You have a death wish! You're just a powerless representative! Even if you do have power, your demise is already determined after what you did openly just now!" Neve's face became twisted with anger."I might not be able to do anything to you if you don't touch me, but now that you did, no one in this world can protect you!" There was a crazed look on Neve's face. Obviously, she believed that Harvey wou
After Neve made her orders, all the men and women beside her revealed what was under their sleeves. They were all wearing the martial art weapons, the Rainstorm Needles. This was something ten times better than guns when targeting martial artists.However, Harvey ignored all of them and continued moving forward. He exclaimed coldly, "Stop! If any of you are going to continue to attack Mandy, I'm going to cripple you!"Neve gave an icy smirk. There was only disdain on her face as she narrowed her eyes at Harvey. "Who do you think you are, Harvey? Do you think you're in a position to make me stop just by telling me? Are you having heartaches for her? I'm going to hurt her right before you now!"Neve kicked Mandy to the ground and then stomped on her stomach. "You witch! Witch! Let's see who can stop you tonight! Durandal is already dead, and I don't want to live anymore! I'm not going to stop until you're dead!"Then, Neve revealed the Rainstorm Needles under her sleeves and put them
