On the other side of the phone, Sakura froze. Then, she chucked lightly.Her laugh sounded a little odd, as if she was possessed by a demon from Hell.Nameless started to get agitated.“Do you not understand me?! Bring her here already!”“I’m sorry, Young Master Nameless.”Sakura’s tone was cold and playful at the same time.“The Shindan Way and the Tsuchimikado Family will end our cooperation with Evermore here. We won’t let Mandy go. Good luck!”Beep, beep, beep!Nameless’s face lost all color. He gripped his phone.He was abandoned!He was the young master of the Faceless Group and a member of Evermore, yet he was cast away so easily!Harvey’s eyes grew cold.Both the Shindan Way and the Tsuchimikado Family were people he had already dealt with in Mordu.He didn’t think they’d still dare cause trouble after losing Akio.He remembered killing Sakura as well…Yet, not only did she survive, but she was also making a strong comeback.Crack!Harvey stepped forward calmly
At this very moment, candles in the dark shrine lit up one after another.An onmyoji in uniform slowly stood up.He slowly stepped away from the shrine. Ghostly howls could be heard behind him as he did. The ruthless experts of the Island Nations couldn’t help but shiver at the sight. Looking at the man, they seemed instinctively horrified.“Your heart is not calm, Sakura. The ghost inside of you will be agitated. It’ll be enraged, causing you to lose control and devour you completely.“I gave you the Tsuchimikado Family’s Talisman Spirit not for you to be swallowed whole.“Do you understand?”Sakura was reminded of an unpleasant memory, and instinctively shivered.“Of course, Young Master Soraru! The Tsuchimikado Family was the one that gave me a second chance at life.“I’ll control myself perfectly! I won’t be devoured by the Talisman Spirit!“Don’t you worry!”“I do hope you remember your words. Don’t disappoint me,” Soraru said. “What’s the situation right now?”Soraru
“Harvey?!”Seeing the figure in the driver’s seat, Sakura gritted her teeth, her expression cold.She would never forget that figure.Harvey was the one who had completely ruined the Shindan Way’s plans back in Mordu. Her teacher, Akio Yashiro, died in his hands as well.She barely survived, but all she could think of was how to rip Harvey to shreds.Just for that, she had prepared many people.The trauma he gave her was too much!Harvey ignored Sakura. When he saw Mandy’s unconscious body, he finally sighed in relief.Now that he had made sure Mandy was safe, he wasn’t worried anymore.“Let Mandy go, and I won’t hurt you,” Harvey said, looking at Sakura with narrowed eyes. He was being as generous as he could.“Let her go? Are you out of your mind?”Sakura finally came to her senses. She tugged Mandy’s hair roughly. “You just had to cause yourself trouble, Harvey!“I’ll kill you right now and reclaim the Shindan Way’s former glory!“Go! All of you!”Soraru looked at Ha
Everyone wanted to take out Harvey and reap the amazing rewards.However, none of them wanted to die in action. If their lives were no more, everything would be over.The experts who were roaring fiercely before quickly looked away, afraid they’d turn into Harvey’s next victim.Swoosh!While the Islanders were in utter chaos, Harvey kicked the car door open and hopped out. He quickly shortened the distance between him and the Islanders.“Go! Go together!” the head of the group screamed, gritting his teeth. He rushed forward, a long sword in hand.Clack!Harvey clapped and snapped the man’s sword in half, and sent it straight at his throat.Blood splattered all over the place, but Harvey didn’t care about that at all. He quickly grabbed a knife from the man and flung it forward.Two experts wielding Rainstorm Needles didn’t have time to react; they fell paralyzed to the ground, clutching their throats.The Rainstorm Needles landed right into Harvey’s hands, and he used them wi
Slap!Harvey casually slapped another expert who was holding a long sword to the ground. He then wiped his fingers with some tissues before glancing calmly at Sakura.“Your lame martial arts won’t do anything to me.“Let go of her, then break your hands. I’ll let you go if you do.“If not, then die.”After hearing those words and seeing that calm look on Harvey’s face, the Shindan Way experts felt as if they had returned to Mordu again.Back then, they were just as furious and helpless when they fought Harvey. They had no other choice aside from fleeing the city.And that night, the exact same thing was happening.The experts were filled with nothing but despair. They didn’t even think to fight back.The Islanders really wanted to rip Harvey to shreds however they could…But after calming down, they understood. Even if all of them came at Harvey at once, they were still nothing to him.Harvey walked forward slowly, and the remaining experts of the Shindan Way instinctively s
Slap!“Shut up, you bitch!”Sakura slapped Mandy furiously in the face, stopping her from talking.Harvey turned cold as soon as he saw it. “Just say the word if you want to die! Nobody’s stopping you!”“So what if I slap her again at this point, Harvey?”Sakura chuckled coldly.“Enough of this! Just tell me if we have a deal or not!“Nameless’s life for your wife’s! You can’t lose like this now, can you?“This benefits both of us!“But if you reject me, the first thing I’ll do after we go our separate ways is kill your wife!”Harvey narrowed his eyes for a moment.“Fine. We have a deal. How do we do this?”Sakura froze. She didn’t think that Harvey would agree that easily.She rolled her eyes before speaking again.“I changed my mind!“Other than Nameless, you have to break your own arms as well!“How about this? I’ll let your wife go after you do that!“And when you bring Nameless here, I’ll let you two leave!“I swear with our Bushido Spirit! How does that sound?”
“Are you okay?”Harvey held Mandy’s slim waist after dealing with the enemies.Mandy had become limp after hearing the gunshot going off beside her ear.“Get out of here, Harvey!” she exclaimed after seeing Harvey’s face.“Go!“These people are up to no good! You won’t get another chance if you don’t get out!“They’re using a Shikigami!”“Right. Let’s get out of here.”At that moment, pillars of black light shone all around.There were eight pillars in total. Every single one was filled with endless murderous intent.Harvey could see the blood on the ground converging toward the shrine; he could sense the malice radiating off them.Soraru, who had been muttering constantly, finally stood up.All of a sudden, he put on a white hat. He turned around to look at Harvey with narrowed eyes, smiling. “Hello, Sir York, Prince York, Representative York…”Soraru spoke politely, reciting Harvey’s identities. He naturally knew who Harvey was. He was aware of every single identity Ha
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!The pillars charged forward.Harvey stepped forward calmly to dodge the attack by the skin of his teeth.“Looks like your Yin-Yang Technique’s not that good,” he said, squinting at the black pillars of light moving threateningly toward him. ‘These people sure like weird things. The attack looks pretty impressive, but not practical at all.‘It can probably scare a few children, but it’s probably useless against an actual expert.’“This is all just the beginning, Sir York.”Soraru smiled. “The show’s just about to start.”Many onmyojis in robes crawled out of the corners. Papers with smiling and crying expressions drawn on were stuck on their faces. The papers would sway every so often, revealing the pale faces underneath. It was a peculiar sight.A timid person would’ve been scared witless and lost all strength to fight back.Harvey narrowed his eyes. “The Spirit Bind?“Interesting. Come at me together, then.”The Spirit Bind was one of the onmyo
Durandal and his men froze when they saw what happened, and their expressions darkened. While that long-haired man was frivolous, he was also a martial arts master.Before they could even react, Harvey had already snapped off the man's finger and fed it to the dog. That action was enough to stop Durandal and the others in their tracks, and even managed to silence the angry crowd.No one expected a man called a pretty face to be so brutal and decisive. At that moment, the men from Parkerville could feel the coldness radiating from Harvey. They couldn't stop the fear spreading in their heart."Darn it! How dare you hurt him?!""Do you have a death wish?""We're going to destroy your underground arena!"Everyone from Parkerville was filled with fury, wanting to retaliate. However, Harvey's calm expression was enough to scare them into silence. Durandal, the only person who knew Harvey's real identity, raised his hand to stop them. Then, he shot Harvey a cold look."What is the
"I believe someone outside the ring informed the young boxer. In short, this is no longer a one-versus-one battle! This is two versus one… No, perhaps even more! This isn't fair!"And then, Durandal raised his arm and shouted, "Tell me, friends! Is it against the rule for someone to use a high-tech method to instruct the young fighter in the middle of the match? Should they pay for all our losses?"While no one knew how Durandal could be so sure there was cheating involved, many saw that there was a chance for them to recover their losses. They knew who to support. All of them stood up and started yelling."Cheating! You're cheating!""Pay us! Pay us back!"Durandal continued to raise his arm. "We've already won this battle! However, the underground boxing ring was unable to accept their loss! Other than making them admit it, shouldn't we ask them to pay three times the money?!"All the spectators were excited and chorused brainlessly, "Three times! Three times!"They didn't car
As the Boxing Champion coughed out a mouthful of blood, it seemed to have caused a chain reaction. The blood vessels in his body began to bulge and explode, and blood began to flow out from his body. It was quite terrifying to watch, but from his bloodshot eyes, he seemed to have recovered some sort of clarity.He glared at the young fighter in front of him and collapsed on the ring, his eyes filled with disbelief."Ha… Didn't even break a sweat." The young fighter raised his hand, disdain on his face. His expression was calm, but everyone could see his arrogance."How is that possible?!" At that moment, there was only silence. No one expected the situation would change so quickly. The Boxing Champion had been defeated so quickly, many weren't sure what had happened. This had surpassed everyone's understanding.No matter if the audience was furious or in disbelief, the Boxing Champion had already fallen and the young fighter stood in the middle of the ring with a calm express
Everyone was still filled with mixed expressions as both sides clashed. To the Boxing Champion, he had already won countless fights. There was no need for him to be afraid of a young man.Meanwhile, the young fighter had great confidence. Nothing could shake him.The moment both sides clashed, dust and dirt burst from the floor. Everyone was shocked by their murderous intent.Their fists met. At that instant, they fought in the most brutal and primal way. They kept crashing into each other as they battled. The muted sounds of their attacks could be heard from outside the ring. The ring, though made of solid wood, began to crack open from the impact of their attacks. Everyone watched with bated breath, excitement etched on their faces. No one expected that the young man who looked like he was going to get beaten down in one punch would have so much endurance.It was way too thrilling! Too exciting!The two moved faster and faster. Very quickly, normal people couldn't even see h
When Harvey heard Mandy's agreement to his plan to close down the place, he immediately snapped his finger. A young man smaller and leaner than the Boxing Champion slowly walked out from the back.He wasn't surrounded by a malevolent aura like the Boxing Champion, and he didn't beat his chest like a drum either. He simply waved his hand around in a dull way, like he was only doing this as part of his job. When the spectators saw this, all of them booed.When some of the spectators who were hoping for a chance to turn their luck around saw this, they couldn't help but start to curse.What was the Ninth Branch doing?Why did they pull out a kid like this?Were they getting him killed?Meanwhile, Durandal and the others all glanced at each other before cackling madly. They were all from the Sacred Training Grounds, so they could see the young man was indeed someone special. But no matter how special he was, the difference in power couldn't be so easily overcome.There was only one
One hour later, Harvey once again appeared at the VIP seats. Durandal and the others had been waiting for them. When they saw Harvey appear, they grinned. "One hour is over, pretty boy. Can we start the battle now? Looking at how confident you are, maybe you should consider fighting yourself. If you're willing, I can tell the Boxing Champion to just use one arm."It was obvious that not only did Durandal want to use this chance to test Harvey's power, but he also wanted to get him killed.Harvey smiled. "There's no need for overwhelming firepower. Even your father couldn't make me fight him, let alone your underling."Durandal's eyes turned incredibly cold when he heard that. Just as the atmosphere in the VIP seats was becoming fired up, the atmosphere around the ring was also becoming more tense.They hadn't even fought yet, but both sides were already staring down at each other apprehensively. It would be quite intense once the fight really began.Very quickly, Durandal took a
Harvey ignored all of them, but simply looked at all the fighters. In the end, Harvey's eyes fell on a young man of about eighteen years old. It was obvious he had just come of age, and he had trained his body well. From his physique, Harvey could tell that his martial arts abilities were quite good too.Harvey could tell immediately that the young man probably had an extraordinary upbringing to have such power at such an age. He might be a core student who came out from a Sacred Training Ground to train.Most importantly, the other fighters either looked at Harvey warily or in envy. Only he looked at Harvey peacefully, as if everyone in this world were ordinary people.Harvey gave Maya a look, and Maya quickly introduced him. "Sir, this is a servant that a member of the Ninth Branch picked up from under the bridge. He's mute, but he's extremely loyal. When we realized he has great talent in martial arts, we decided to turn him into a fighter."Harvey narrowed his eyes. What kind
Maya was slightly stunned. However, she had always been very trusting of Harvey. She didn't say anything and quickly prepared the contract.When Durandal saw what was happening, he smiled coldly and immediately signed his name.Just as Harvey was going to sign his name, Mandy's expression turned dark and said, "Harvey, why don't we bet my hand? This is a Ninth Branch affair. It didn't have much to do with you in the first place."Harvey could sense Mandy cared about him and smiled. "Don't worry, I'll be fine. Not to mention, certain things are unavoidable. You and the Ninth Branch are simply taking hits on my behalf. Trust me, I can manage this."Mandy hesitated a little and wanted to say something, but before she could, Durandal already said coldly, "Enough with the mushy nonsense. If you can't take a wager like this, I'm more than happy to let you both lick my boots a hundred times. After that, we'll call it even!"Harvey patted Mandy's shoulder and picked up the pen to sign his
"Your underlings are either Boxing Champions or Sword Champions. While they all sounded terrifying and their names quite stylish, and sound like they can defeat everyone that stands before them…" Harvey began coolly."Everything you did is so you can take all of the Ninth Branch's money, isn't it? If that's the case, why waste everyone's time? Let's do it decisively. We'll settle everything in one go. Of course, if you're scared, you can tell me too. I won't force you."Harvey shook his head and looked at Mandy. "This is boring, Mandy. Let's go, he's just a coward. I wonder where this spoiled brat comes from? He's scared of getting smacked by his own hand if he loses a few pennies. There's no need to waste time with people like this."When Mandy heard it, she said, "That's right. There's no need to waste time with rubbish."Durandal smiled coldly when he heard how they were mocking him. "No need for such sarcasm. I'm telling you right now, I'm not afraid of playing a game like th
