“A God of War?! How is this possible?”Soraru’s expression changed instantly.An experienced man like him suddenly realized Harvey’s true strength.‘A God of War! How? How is that possible?!’Not just Soraru, even the genius successor of the Tsuchimikado Family probably didn’t deserve to go against someone like Harvey!Spirit Bind and Shikigamis are nothing to a God of War like him!Soraru’s eyes kept twitching, and he instinctively took a step back.“Impressive, Sir York!” he exclaimed, forcing himself to smile. “I’ll admit defeat this time! But before I do, I have a condition!”Soraru formed a hand sign; the eight pillars of light formed into a spear, and charged right at Mandy. At the same time, he waved his hand; the Spirit Corpses pounced forward before exploding.He then stumbled out of the place without wasting any time. Surely, both sides had no choice but to fight to the death at this point.Harvey wouldn’t just let him get out of the place willingly. So, Soraru deci
Mandy’s injuries were treated at the hospital. Thankfully, there were no internal injuries, so she didn’t have to stay in a ward.The two quickly returned to the Zimmer family’s villa soon after.For Mandy’s sake, Harvey arranged for Lilian and the rest of the Zimmers to leave the place for the time being. Not a single person was seen inside under the bright lights.Mandy told Harvey to make himself at home. Meanwhile, she went to take a bath while enduring her pain.This was an embarrassing experience for her. She wanted to wash the bad luck away.At the same time, she’d be able to make things less awkward for Harvey and her.Harvey didn’t say a word, since he understood what she wanted. He stood in front of the door while waiting quietly.He calmed himself down to prepare himself for the interrogation that was coming. He also wanted to make sure that Mandy was safe.Nameless and Soraru were to be executed, but Harvey didn’t think that Faceless, Evermore, or the Abito Way woul
Mandy’s heart was beating all over.She didn’t know if those words were considered an invitation for Harvey. If that were to actually happen, she didn’t know if she’d reject his advances or not.In the deepest parts of her heart, she felt hesitant.After all, the two were already divorced. Because of that, there were things they just couldn’t do.Harvey didn’t think too much into it, though.“Right. Don’t worry,” he said, smiling. “I’ll be in the living room. Call me if anything happens.”Harvey then closed the door gently before sitting down in the living room. As soon as he took out his phone, he scrolled through Kairi’s texts.He didn’t realize that Mandy could see the same texts through the surveillance camera with her computer.“Kairi?!”Mandy froze; she didn’t know how to feel.She wasn’t sure if she was jealous or worried, but she figured that Harvey was probably talking to Kairi about what happened the same night.If she went out to question Harvey at this moment, sh
Vaughn smiled calmly before putting his glass down.“You’re right about that. They’ll be taking action today.“I’ve seen Nameless’ plan. It’s perfect.“With such arrangements, I’m sure even ten Harvies wouldn’t be able to go against the experts from the Shindan Way and the Tsuchimikado Family.”Vaughn smiled.Nameless had strong men working for him; not to mention; a mysterious onmyoji from the Island Nations and India’s God of War were supporting him.No matter how impressive Harvey was, what could he do about that? Anyone would perish in the face of a God of War!“Heh, heh, heh! So, you’re saying that Harvey’s dead for sure?”Maisie was excited.“I’ve hated that guy since I first laid eyes on him! He has an aura I despise!“He’s just a damn peasant, yet he doesn’t know how to act humble! He doesn’t realize that he can’t afford to go against people like us, even if he fights for eight different lifetimes!“It’s already bad enough that he doesn’t show us any respect. He even
“What? Did something happen?”Maisie, who had been quite casual, realized something after seeing Vaughn’s face.Vaughn slowly put his phone down. After a long while, he finally spoke.“Just now, Harvey killed the Rakshasa Monks and crippled the Abito Way’s expert!“Even the Shindan Way and the Tsuchimikado Family were completely defeated…“Nameless failed!“We’ve underestimated the live-in son-in-law!”Kensley and Maisie stood up in shock.Even Blaine instinctively sat up straight, frowning.…The next day, Harvey went out to buy Mandy’s favorite breakfast sandwich. Then, he fried a few eggs in the kitchen while humming a tune.After a whole night’s rest, Mandy was in high spirits.The two finished their breakfast. Harvey remembered that Lilian and the others were about to come back, so he wanted to leave before they appeared.If he didn’t, there would be utter chaos again.Having enjoyed a few days of peace and quiet, Harvey really didn’t want to listen to Lilian’s naggi
“What kind of hotshot do you think my mother could be friends with?“If I’m guessing correctly, the one who’s coming must be Aunt Witby.“She’s a local from Mordu. She isn’t that successful, but her ego shows the exact opposite. She’s cut from the same cloth as my mother!“If Mother gets her here, then…”Thinking of Mandy’s predicament, Harvey started to feel a headache.Everything else aside, Aunt Witby’s relationship with Lilian was enough to show how impressive she was.Harvey couldn’t help but shiver when he imagined the two bickering.He shouldn’t stay any longer. He’d suffer if he did.He decided to leave as soon as Mandy was done with her food.As for Ostrane One, he didn’t mind letting Lilian stay there.The place was already Mandy’s, anyway—it was her property. She had all the right to decide how she wanted to use it.Harvey was just about to slip out of the place after the meal.Just then, Mandy’s phone suddenly rang again.She quickly picked up the phone, and he
On the side of the corridor, many people were gathered together. Their eyes were red.They were all tall and strong; some of them had terrifying tattoos on them.They all looked at Maya and the others with fierce glares. Though they were dressed ordinarily, they looked like thugs to Maya and the others.Maya and the executives prayed that everything would go well in the emergency room. If not, the thugs would be enraged and make their lives a living hell.“What happened here? Why is the injured in the emergency room?”The sounds of clacking high heels could be heard. A fashionable woman with a Chanel bag walked over.Her long legs, covered in black stockings, were nothing short of alluring. Her beautiful face could topple entire civilizations.The woman was none other than Mandy herself.Harvey, who had remained discreet, followed closely behind.He frowned as he looked around him, then instinctively looked at his compass. He looked puzzled.Mandy’s appearance had grabbed eve
Mandy froze. “Talk? About what?”“Talk about what?” The man intentionally froze, then screamed to the crowd.“Listen to this! What’s this tone?“While working for the company, my dad got into an accident and was brought into the emergency room!“We’re here talking to her about compensation, but she’s acting all oblivious about it!“Are us workers just ants to you capitalists? Are our lives worth nothing to you?“Don’t we not get a chance to speak after hurting ourselves for your sake?“Aren’t you even going to talk to us? Are we not human to you?“We’ll call the cops on you for this! We’ll get the government involved, too!“We want your entire company bankrupt!”The patients and their families standing not far away glanced at Mandy and the rest, curious. Some people got an idea about the situation, and started gossiping up a storm.Someone even took out their phones to take pictures. After all, the big fuss would no doubt turn into big news.Harvey frowned at the people who
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
