Zaid Surrey spoke, smiling faintly.Now that he has shown his true colors, he has become extremely straightforward.Harvey York grinned back at Zaid.“Are you threatening me?”Zaid took a sip of his tea.“You’ve got the wrong idea! Why would I do that?“This is just a friendly reminder!“After all, I do hope to work together with you.“I’ve disdained the Lowe family and the Bowie family for the longest time anyway.”Harvey casually threw his cup to the ground, shattering it into pieces.Zaid’s eyes twitched and he squinted at Harvey. He had no idea how Harvey was going to choose.“If you’re threatening me, then that means you can’t prove your innocence.“And if that’s the case, then it means that Layton’s also involved.“And since that seems to be it, I’ll have you send word to him for the sake of your kindness.“He won’t get the technique. After all, it’d be useless to him even if he does have it.”Zaid froze.“What do you mean? If Mr. Layton gets the technique, he wil
Zaid Surrey frowned.“He said that he’d decline to cooperate with you if you were involved in Quill Gibson’s death!“He’ll also give the technique as soon as we can prove your innocence!“If not… it’d be useless even if you had the technique.”Zaid told Layton Surrey everything Harvey York said verbatim, ensuring he was not misunderstood.“What does that mean?”Layton did not understand either.Zaid stuttered.“He said… He said…”“What? Spit it out already.”Zaid nervously gulped.“He said… that a dead man wouldn’t have a use for the technique anyways.”Layton froze and chuckled.“As expected from a young man like him. He’s even questioning me at this point…”Layton glared.He had been in a high position for the longest time. He had been living idly but would not allow others to question his authority either!“Even if I admit I am involved, what can he do about it?“Working with me to deal with the Lowe family and the Bowie family should be enough to bring justice back
While Layton and Zaid Surrey were having a long chat…Harvey York had already thrown the name card into the bin.He was scrolling through his laptop, going through some information about Layton.His phone vibrated not long after. Kairi Patel, who had not been in contact for a few days, called.Harvey picked up the video call before seeing an incredibly alluring woman in a dress sitting on a chair while swirling her glass of wine.The seductive sight would make any man gasp for hot air.Kairi was a real angel. An eighty-year-old man would probably feel reinvigorated after seeing her.Harvey slowly looked away before quickly turning his attention to the documents before him.“What’s the matter? It’s pretty late at night.“You’re not done with the situation in Golden Sands now, have you?”Kairi grinned.“It’s not that I don’t want to. Blaine John’s been a little too discreet for the past few days. The John family’s been holding themselves back. Nobody knows what he’s trying to
Kairi Patel smiled.“As long as you know what you’re up against.“I was worried that you’d fall for someone else’s gentle embrace.“If that were the case, the rest of us might just go down with you.”Harvey York burst into laughter.“Don’t worry. That woman desperately wants me dead. She wouldn’t use tricks like that.”“That’s hard to say.Kairi frowned.“Women like her would use everything in their power to achieve their goals!“Weren’t there well-known experts like the Kawashima family during the Second World War?”Harvey gave out a chuckle.“Stop worrying. I’m an experienced man. There is no need to talk about this…“Let’s go back to Heaven’s Gate instead.“Did Layton Surrey have any relations with the Patel family?”Harvey flipped through the pages of the documents. He felt curious after seeing some history between Layton and the Patel family.“We did, but that was decades ago.“Grudges of the older generation shouldn’t affect our judgment anyway.“Besides, he’ll h
The sound seemed to echo the sense of a young lady’s excitement and intimacy, invigorating a man’s primal instincts.Harvey York frowned as he flicked his finger. An invisible wave of air opened the door instantly.Creak!A horrible shriek echoed, ruining the mood and stopping the sound of the harp.Harvey walked in, crossing his arms.Silk cloths were hung all over the place, showing only parts of the room.At the same time, at least a hundred candles were lit around the place, making it an incredibly romantic sight.A woman leaned on a harp with her shoulders exposed. Her pitiful gaze was locked onto Harvey as if she was sad that he did not understand the charm of the scene.It was Alani Carlson!That said, she was acting totally out of character.A sense of gentleness replaced the harsh attitude she had.“You’re finally back.“You haven’t eaten yet, have you? Please, eat up.”Alani smiled the moment she saw Harvey.Exquisite meals from Island Nations filled the entire
“But as soon as I discovered the leader was involved with Quill Gibson’s death, I immediately lost interest in the mental cultivation technique.“I knew the person he’s going after—you’re more important than some mere technique!“That was why I reported you to my foster father as soon as possible.“He gave you three benefits, hoping you’d accept the Way of Water’s hospitality.”Alani Carlson smiled faintly when she loosened her yukata to tell Harvey York he could have anything.Harvey seemed not to care when seeing the beautiful sight before him.“Are all Islanders philanthropists or something?“You’ve given up on the mental cultivation technique, and you’re giving me so many benefits?“Am I seeing the world with rose-colored glasses? Or are you people just too nice?”“There are some things that don’t need more context, Sir York,” replied Alani with a smile.“Since we’re giving up on the technique, of course, we’d be asking for something else…”“Speak English,” replied Harve
“Unite the world?“Narrow-minded?Harvey York burst into laughter.“Is the Way of Water really that naive? Or are the Island Nations’ higher-ups really that innocent?“Even your country’s defenses are owned by America, yet you’re still dreaming this big?“What should I even say to you?“I’m not interested in your pipe dreams as long as you don’t get Country H involved!“Now, leave!“I don’t want any of your benefits either!“Take all this away and get out! Remember to clean up the place before you do!“The smell is making me feel sick to my stomach. I feel like throwing up already…”Alani Carlson’s eyes twitched before forcing a smile.“You’d better think before you speak, Sir York.“Are you sure you want to reject the Way of Water?“If you do, you’d end up in deeper trouble…“For instance, we’ll give the same benefits to the Lowe family. If that’s the case, they’ll surely support us with all their might.“And if you agree to help, we can also discuss the conditions!“
Alani Carlson’s beautiful expression slowly dissipated before squinting at Harvey York.“I know that you have frightening skills, Sir York.“I alone wouldn’t be able to handle you.“But did you really think that I wouldn’t make preparations for this?”Along with Alani’s words, the windows were instantly kicked down.A dozen Islanders with long swords rushed inside, with a lot more faintly seen outside the windows.The ones outside were most likely ninjas.Harvey glanced around him.“Each window is fifteen million dollars. Remember to pay up.”The swordsmen were shaken up by Harvey’s words. They were shocked to see how calm he was.In their eyes, Harvey’s arrogance was on a whole other level.Anyone unfamiliar with the situation would assume that Harvey was the one assassinating the entire group of swordsmen.A moment later, a man with a long and short sword strolled inside with a pompous expression.It was Shinsuke Yamamoto.He squinted at Harvey as he clapped his hands.
In that instant, all the elites from Origin Fist could only gasp. They didn't know how to react when they saw what happened. Normally, once Harvey gave Kuro the chance to turn the table around, Kuro should have the advantage.But the result?Kuro was being stepped on, and he didn't even have the power to resist. Before Harvey's strength, he was just too weak."Not only can't you fight, but you're also making me very disappointed," Harvey said as he squatted and patted Kuro's face. It was a simple action, but it was enough to humiliate Kuro completely."Stop wasting time here, kid. I acknowledge that I've been careless, and I acknowledge that I'm not as skilled as you. I surrender!" The expression on Kuro's face was one of stubbornness. "If you can, kill me! I'm telling you, even if I die, the Origin Fist will never let you go! No matter who you are, you'll die in the hands of Origin Fist! If I die, your whole family will die with you!""How naïve," Harvey said with a smile. In t
"Your level of power is insufficient as well. Your so-called Black Hands is somewhat interesting, but you can't even unleash half of its power. Which means that the Sky Plane's martial arts aren't good, and so are you," Harvey said as he kept on slapping Kuro.Kuro couldn't even move away from getting slapped. His face was full of blood, and its contour had completely changed. All the Origin Fist elites could only watch this in shock.Kuro was the cream of the crop of Origin Fist. Not only was he a True Warrior, but he had even mastered the Black Hands. Why couldn't he escape the weak slaps from Harvey? How could Kuro not defeat Harvey, especially in a place like Grand City?This was the same as the Origin Fist's dignity being completely soiled!But another question appeared. Were the weak-looking slaps really that powerful?"You fool! How dare you slap me!" Kuro snarled, fury and doubt on his face. He was shocked at Harvey's power. He didn't think Harvey could slap him that e
"You fool!" Kuro was completely infuriated.He immediately appeared in mid-air in front of Harvey, his palms striking down. The black miasma surrounding his hands turned into gigantic palms, carrying a powerful aura. They seemed to be expanding without limits. At that instant, they seemed to be covering the entire sky.Everyone gasped.What was going on? Was this the legendary Black Hands?They couldn't believe it! Then they saw how Harvey seemed like he was stunned by the terrifying Black Hands. He simply stood there, unmoved, as if he was frozen.Alexei's expression changed. He wanted to call out to Harvey, but he noticed that he couldn't say anything as his throat had gone dry. He couldn't even move.He wasn't the only one. Even the bodyguards from the Foster family were all full of despair. They never expected the elites from Sky Plane could be so strong—it shook them to the core. Even among the seven families from Grand City, only the few most talented people would hav
Harvey frowned and looked at Alexei. "Alexei, do all the people from Sky Plane have some emotional issues? Why are they all so self-centered?""Well…" Alexei was speechless. 'Bro… Big bro…' While Harvey had the strength to ignore the people from Sky Plane, Alexei didn't! Not only did he want to live, but he wanted to live a good life too!When Kuro heard Harvey's words, he smiled coldly. "You have quite the confidence, Mr. Representative. You probably don't understand what the words True Warriors meant. Today, allow me to help you understand just how terrifying the True Warriors from Sky Plane are!"As Kuro said that, he extended his right hand. A black miasma appeared around his fingers. Very quickly, it began to surround both his palms, looking extremely eerie.Mikan instinctively asked, "You're going to use the Origin Fist's ultimate attack, the Black Hands?"The so-called Black Hands was the ultimate technique of the Origin Fist. It was said that every use of it will make
To someone like Mikan, who thought of herself as someone at the top of the social hierarchy, what happened to her was humiliating and infuriated her deeply.She gritted her teeth and stared at Harvey. After a long while, she yelled, "Shameless… You shameless man! How dare you ambush me?!"Slap!Harvey sent Mikan flying again with another slap. This time, she slammed right into a giant stone pillar in the courtyard, and was instantly in a wounded state."Ambush? Do I even need to ambush rubbish like you?" Harvey's expression was full of disdain. "Who do you think you are? What makes you think you're worth ambushing?"Harvey fired a few more slaps at Mikan. There was no way for her to escape, and her entire face was now full of dirt. In the end, she was thrown out of the entrance. She rolled on the ground, and Harvey even kicked her on the buttocks.When all the spectators saw what had happened, their eyes grew wide, their faces filled with disbelief. They never expected that thing
Sky Plane and Grand City were similar. Their status in the Island Nation was also very high. Some of the Islanders even treat the Sky Plane as where the gods resided and would worship them.Since the ruling Royal Family and the Six Schools couldn't limit the Sky Plane, it made everyone who came from the Sky Plane incredibly arrogant. They believed they were the best of all. They believed that as long as they announced they were from the Sky Plane, no one could do anything to them.Mikan's attitude made everyone hold their breaths in anticipation. Some of those who still had compassion within them shook their heads.While it was nothing to them if they offended ordinary Islanders, members of the Six Schools and even those from the ruling Royal Family, crossing Sky Plane was a death wish.No one other than the direct descendent of the Grand City could attract Sky Plane's wrath.Just when all of them thought that Harvey was going to surrender, Harvey simply smirked and said, "As expe
"Since you're all coming for me, then there's no need to hide your intentions. Why don't you just directly tell me what your aim is?" Harvey said coldly. The attack on him smelled like a plot. However, the Islanders were making this too obvious… Only fools couldn't see through it."I'm Mikan Inoue, and this is my older brother Kuro Inoue. We are practitioners of the Origin Fists from Sky Plane," the Islander woman said with a commanding tone as she played with her martial arts robe, showing the size of her chest."When we're at the Sky Plane, we heard that the representative of Country H's Martial Arts had completely demolished all the Six Schools of the Island Nation. While they were simply servants of the Sky Plane, you still have to consider who their masters are. If you dare to hit our servants, then it's only natural for you to pay the price, correct?"Kuro Inoue also said with a smile, "Kneel and beg us to spare you. Then, we won't make a move. But the condition is that you
When Harvey saw what happened, his eyes became even colder. Even Alexei, someone who didn't know much about Harvey, could sense the murderous aura coming from him. He shuddered. Then, he mustered the courage he needed to yell, "Hey! You islanders! How dare you throw Dragon Gate into chaos! Do you have a death wish?!"When the elites from the Island Nation walked out of the inner courtyard and heard that, they hurled the injured trainers on the ground. Then, all of them tilted their heads as they looked at Harvey with a sneer.The leader among the Islanders' elites stepped forward and said in a nonchalant tone, "You're the Dragon Gate's scion as well as the representative of the Country H Martial Arts Alliance? You're only here after waiting for you for so long… Don't tell me you're scared?" He spoke the language of Country H very well, but if one were to listen, it was clear that his fluency was still quite lacking. A woman was walking next to him, playing with the sleeve of he
Alexei's eyes narrowed when he saw the man in the Island Nation's martial arts robe. "Big bro, are you really the scion of Dragon Gate? If you are, then this is going to be troublesome. The man who's challenging the training hall is one of the representatives the Island Nation's Sky Plane sent here. He's supposed to be an elite trained in the Origin Fist."Harvey's curiosity was piqued. "Origin Fist?"Alexei nodded. "You probably don't know this. While the so-called Six Schools sound great in the Island Nation, when it comes to the Origin martial arts from the Sky Plane, they are nothing! Even if we don't talk about the rest and just the Origin Fist, everyone who's trained in it is legendary. It's said that they can split mountains with their bare fists alone, and it's even more powerful than our country's Eagle Claw technique!"Alexei's expression was one of fear as he pointed at the wounds on all those trainers. If one were to look closely, all ad signs of being clawed upon. T
