“You bitch! Don’t you see that the Martial Arts Alliance is doing business here? Do you know the consequences of barging in like this?”Derita was infuriated.She was a part of Heaven’s Gate for many years, but it was her first time seeing someone disrespect her like this.Rachel ignored the tension in the place and quickly walked beside Harvey, her arms folded.Harvey smiled.“It’s fine. It’s just a few nobodies causing a ruckus here. It’ll be done soon.“Right. Where’s that that I’ve been looking for?”Rachel casually pulled out a sack, and handed it respectfully to Harvey. Harvey rummaged through the sack for a moment before throwing a badge on the coffee table.He then signaled for Rachel to make him some tea.“Kneel,” Harvey said with a glare, after taking a sip.Derita’s eyes twitched. She instinctively looked at the badge on the coffee table. The others from the Martial Arts Alliance followed suit.They showed horrible expressions when they finally saw the badge.The
“Aaah!”Seeing Derita starting to grovel while shivering in fear, Alani and the others were completely shocked.Compared to Harvey beating up Zaid, this was far more terrifying.“Now you know how to kneel? Come on, get your back straight.”Harvey hooked his finger at Derita.Derita instinctively straightened her back before putting her face in front of Harvey.Slap!Harvey swung the back of his palm across her face without holding back.“I rivaled countries and made this country into one of the directors of the World Martial Arts Alliance just so I can expand the country’s martial arts!”Slap!Derita’s face was already completely swollen.“I allow you to show off my accomplishments just so Country H remains at the peak of the world!”Slap!Derita’s head was spinning to no end at this point.“I did all this to tell the world that there’s always justice in the world!“I stayed in the country so I can protect it!“I do all this for the country and not for people like you,
“It’s fine.”Harvey calmly sipped his tea.“As the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance, I managed to ruin Evermore’s arrangements in Blackburn City, then in Golden Sands.“As long as they’re still hungry, they’ll find all sorts of ways to kill me.“They’ll expose themselves a lot more because of this.“That way, I can deal with everything at once before heading to Wolsing.“Send someone to keep an eye on Layton. Remember, no need to hide. Just do it in front of his face. I want to see what he’ll do after knowing that I’m the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance.”Rachel quickly did as Harvey said.The next day, while Harvey was visiting Quill’s grave early in the morning, loud clamoring could be heard from outside.Harvey turned around. He saw a few Benz parked outside the residence, with a few Longmen disciples blocking the entrance.Prince walked out from the side, frowning. “Must be the leader’s car.”“The leader? Layton?” Harvey showed a confused expressio
“Neither.”Layton smiled faintly, crossing his arms.“You do have a massive accomplishment fighting for the country’s Martial Arts Alliance, and giving the country the right to become one of the five directors of the World Martial Arts Alliance.“Your identity allows you to be on the same level as us leaders of sacred martial arts training grounds…“But that’s just it.”“What of it?”“Us leaders have manny elites and disciples under us.“No matter how impressive you are, no matter how much you do, and you have nothing else to rely on but yourself.“Simply put, you don’t even amount to a signboard without the sacred martial arts training grounds’ support.”Harvey smiled. “I see. So you’re here to teach me a lesson…”Layton chuckled.“Not exactly.“Since you’ve done so much for the country’s Martial Arts Alliance, I can consider letting you go if you let my people go and kneel. Admit to your faults, and swear that you won’t get involved with Heaven’s Gate.”“And if I decline
Bam!Clover quickly held Lance back as soon as he was about to swing his palm forward.“Enough! Do you think we’re not embarrassed enough?“No matter how much wrong he’s done, he’s still Father’s sworn brother! We need to have respect for him!”Clover took a step forward, looking stern. “I know you came here to help the Gibson family.“We’ve seen first-hand everything that you did for us, too.“However, that was all before the leader showed up!“Now that he’s standing against us, we wouldn’t be able to fight back!“If I were you, I’d pack my things and leave the headquarters right now.“Nobody would laugh at you if you do.“Even ants would do their best to survive, let alone humans.“You don’t have to worry about the Gibsons, either.“Since the leader showed up, we’d be able to protect ourselves as long as we admit to our faults and give them our resources.”Despite them, Clover was filled with helplessness and resentment when she said those words.But in Heaven’s Gate,
“He’s the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance, after all. He doesn’t have much authority, but he’s made a lot of great achievements.“The higher-ups of the Martial Arts Alliance might get riled up if you fight him.“If that happens, we’ll be in big trouble.”Ebony glanced into the dark corner of the car.“What kind of higher-ups would they have?” Layton snorted.He was calm.“Don’t forget. The Martial Arts Alliance belongs to the sacred martial arts training grounds.“Us leaders are the ones who hold true authority.“Harvey was lucky to get his title.“Even though he has no authority as a representative…“The other sacred martial arts training grounds wouldn’t be happy about me killing him on the spot, either.“You of all people should know of Heaven’s Gate’s reputation to the other sacred martial arts training grounds.“That’s why I gave him a day to prepare. I was just giving the others a heads-up, saying that I’d kill that bastard soon!“They’d understand my mot
Osman thought about the situation for a moment.“That said, this might not be good for us either.“The elder group finally managed to get the upper hand during the recent years, causing the leader’s authority to dwindle a little.“But if he wins the fight, wouldn’t his reputation skyrocket again?“That way, everything we did would be for naught.”Adler chuckled.“That’s true.“But since he’d be killing the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance, he’ll probably seclude himself again just for the Martial Arts Alliance to look good. He’d want the other sacred martial arts training grounds to feel relieved after everything.“This would be our chance!“As long as we show that we’re on the same side as Mr. Layton, the next successor would surely come from one of our families!“Besides, it’d be easy enough to overthrow a leader without actual authority.“In any case, we’ll be the ones reaping the spoils after Harvey’s death!”Adler and Osman smiled at each other.At the same
When the car doors opened, people in Martial Arts Alliance uniforms walked out.They were all carrying swords on their backs, looking fierce.They surrounded the entire hotel, as if they were afraid of Harvey running away. The one leading the group was Rhea Osborne, the previous representative of the country’s Martial Arts Alliance, the lady of the Osborne family.In the past, Harvey had trampled on her completely. Now, she reappeared. She had short hair, and exuded a majestic aura. Many experts from the northwest branch of the Martial Arts Alliance stood behind her.“Who are you people?” Shay asked instinctively.Slap!Rhea slapped Slay to the ground with the back of her palm without even batting an eye.Rachel recognized Rhea’s face.“Don’t you know that Sir York is staying here, Rhea?” she said coldly, taking a step forward. “Do you understand the consequences of your actions?”“Consequences?”Rhea smiled, then waved her hand. Her people instantly pulled out their firear
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
"If you're sober, bend your knee to the ladies and apologize, or I'll kill you!" Harvey snarled.The long-haired man was arrogant, but it was obvious for all that Harvey was even more so. All the spectators were shocked. It was the first time they saw someone acting so arrogant.The long-haired man finally realized what had happened; he held his face and yelled, "You idiot! How dare you touch me?"Harvey gave him another slap. "So what if I do? Can't I afford to? Do you want me to hit you a dozen times?"The long-haired young man didn't expect Harvey to make a move despite the current circumstances, and was completely stunned. He held his completely swollen face and screamed, "How dare you touch me! Kill him! I want him ground to dust!"Clang!Just as the men and women wanted to stand and attack Harvey, Durandal put down the teacup in his hand with a clang. He waved his right hand and said, "All of you… Are you blind? Can't you see that this is Ms. Mandy Zimmer, the leader of t
"150 million isn't enough?""1.5 billion?"Everyone gasped the moment they heard what Harvey had to say. At the same time, many people turned and looked at him at the same time. Aside from shock and disbelief, they looked like they were looking at a fool.Everyone could see that Durandal had already completely decimated this underground fighting pit. The Ninth Branch had lost hundreds of millions of dollars by now. No matter how sharp Maya's tongue was, it couldn't hide the fact that they had lost a lot of money.So when Harvey took the initiative and said something like that, many simply thought it was for their pride. Everyone knew that at this time, one should surrender and not scream in defiance. The men and women around Durandal all stared at Harvey. They didn't feel scared or excited, simply scornful.Mandy wanted to say something, but after hearing Harvey, she decided to keep silent and let him take control of everything. She believed that he could help her."Madam! Sir
Maya looked horrified. She was the one organizing things for the Ninth Branch. This fighter was already the most powerful the Ninth Branch had, but she didn't expect him to act like a complete newbie.As for Durandal, he picked up his teacup and sipped it. His phone screen was showing a game. It was obvious the fight in front of him had already been decided…and he was bored. A mobile game was even a better time killer than this.In some way, this was truly a way of showing how high and mighty he was.Meanwhile, a woman wearing a coat next to Durandal looked at the fight with scorn. It was obvious that the fight in front of her wasn't that interesting.After exchanging blows, the fighter from the Ninth Branch had completely lost his advantage. The Boxing Champion spun and broke his right arm in one strike.Crack!Before he could even scream, the Boxing King swooped right in front of him, then grabbed his head before punching him with all his might.Pfft…Blood immediately came o
"It was clear that this so-called champion had won countless matches. Otherwise, the spectators wouldn't be so excited when they saw him. Some of the women roared and screamed as if they were on cloud nine. The air was full of passion and excitement, as if this champion could really defeat everyone under the sun.Mandy frowned as she looked at the scene, and said slowly, "That's the elite fighter Durandal brought here. From the way he fought, he was indeed someone who had been fighting in underground fighting rings like ours for a long time. He calls himself the Boxing Champion, and has already won five bouts today. He has won at least 75 million dollars from us.""I see… He's a money printer…" Harvey looked at him and nodded. "From the surface, he's a peak King of Arms. If he let himself go, I believe he might be able to fight against those close to True Warrior."Mandy nodded before continuing, "He's just one of the elites Durandal brought with him. Other than him, there's the K
The VIP seats opposite Maya had a group of men and women chatting loudly in plain clothing. All of them looked arrogant, and the way they looked down on others seemed second nature to them. A bald man was in the center of it all. He was wearing a simple white jacket and a pair of outdated cloth shoes. When he sat there, he looked like he was shifting between a state of awareness or sleep."This is the man leading the challengers. All of them called him Mr. Parker." Mandy's eyes immediately fell on this bald man as she explained. It was obvious that while she wasn't here all the time, she knew a lot about the underground boxing gym.Harvey then asked calmly, "He's so easily identifiable. You really can't find anything about him at all?""Nothing. But to him, money is nothing but a number," Mandy sighed. "He didn't look anything unique, but from the limited edition Richard Mille watch he's wearing? That watch is called a 'Billionaire's Watch'. Just that alone is proof enough of how
"Even if they're really from another world, they wouldn't be anyone ordinary. They're dressed simply, but we could tell they're no ordinary people. They looked at all the other guests like they were ants, as if they stood on top of the world. Speaking of which, the one who led them was someone with the last name Parker…"At this point, Mandy found it difficult to continue the conversation. Not only did she lose so much money, but she wasn't even sure who she lost to. It was a total humiliation!"Parker… Not ordinary people… Looking down on everyone…" Harvey narrowed his eyes. "Someone from Parkerville?"A few days ago, Harvey had just humiliated Clarion. In the days that followed, Clarion seemed to have completely disappeared. It didn't fit his modus operandi. Harvey started to suspect that the Parkers of Parkerville were behind this.Most importantly, they could anger him through Mandy. It seemed not everyone from Parkerville was brainless. At the very least, they were quite goo
Mandy kept mum.Harvey sighed. "Fine. Let's not talk about closing the underground boxing ring. Explain to me what has been going on lately. Just how much have you lost?"Mandy took a deep breath to calm herself down and sat opposite Harvey. She picked up her coffee and finished it in one gulp before saying with a sigh, "Because of what happened with the real estate earlier, the Ninth Branch can't simply open up new markets in a short time. We're bleeding money every day. "I realized the Ninth Branch can be supported by just the underground boxing ring. Unfortunately, even our profit from the ring is falling. One of our shareholders gave us the idea to allow guests to bring their own fighters rather than simply betting on fighters. That way, it becomes a competition between the host and the guest."A few days ago, a group of guests came with eight elites and wanted to bet with the underground boxing ring. They said they'll be betting 7 million dollars a match. I didn't want to agr
