“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
“Speak! Where is that bastard right now?”Rhea placed the barrel of her firearm right on top of Shay’s head.“I’ll blast your brains out if you don’t talk! I can kill you before making any sort of report in sacred martial arts training grounds, after all!”Prince quickly rushed forward. “He went to visit my father! Wait for him to come back if you dare!”Bam!Rhea instantly sent Prince flying with a single kick.“And you didn’t follow him? Who are you trying to fool here?“If I’m correct, Harvey must be hiding so he doesn’t have to attend his fight at noon…“He’s afraid of being cut down by Mr. Layton! That’s why he’s guarding the representative’s badge. He’s doing it just so he can save his own skin!“Well, that’s completely useless!“Since the leaders of the sacred martial arts training grounds have all agreed to take Harvey’s position away from him, it wouldn’t mean a thing even if he has his badge!”Rhea then looked around her.“Get out of here, Harvey!” she exclaimed c
A minute had passed, but there was still no sight of Harvey.Rhea laughed.“What a coward, that Harvey! You really think I wouldn’t take action just because you’re hiding?“Now! Cut off Prince’s hand! Let him know what happens when he joins forces with filth like Harvey!”A person showed a wretched smile when he pulled out his long sword, ready to carry out Rhea’s order.“You’re laying your fingers on my people? Who gave you the courage, Rhea?”A cold voice echoed from the entrance at this very moment.Harvey crossed his arms as he slowly walked in front of everyone. His movements weren’t fast, but every step he took exuded dignity.He squinted at the main hall. Seeing the horrible state of Shay and Prince, his gaze instantly darkened.“Sir York!” Prince exclaimed in excitement, as if he was saved.“You’ve finally shown up! I thought you learned to be a coward after coming to the Golden Sands,” Rhea sneered.Rhea wasn’t afraid of Harvey’s fierce expression at all. She believ
Harvey smiled. "It's fine. But you do have to give me an explanation. Of course, if you can't, I'll get one myself."After that, Harvey could not be bothered with the same topic. He looked at the stone door and asked, "Why don't you introduce this to me?"Neve was slightly taken aback but still answered, "You know that Grand City does not belong in this world. In short, it exists in its own pocket dimension. It was said that Grand City's creator created this pocket dimension after he had achieved unison with Nature and before he stepped into the void."This is one of the few entrances into the Grand City, but it's the only entrance that everyone from the city can use. If you have the city's entry pass, then you can freely travel in and out. Of course, if your ancestry is rooted in Grand City, you can also use it."Harvey nodded. He was quite curious… When one reached the end of the path of martial arts and reached unity between man and nature, would one have this kind of power? Cou
No matter how Harvey looked at Vaida, he could tell she was no ordinary warrior. Her decisiveness and style proved to him that she was highly experienced in battles. He could even see some signs of her being in the military.Harvey was even more curious about Vaida's identity when he thought of that.But he knew it was not the time to think about such things. Harvey picked up a gun from the ground amidst the chaos and started to aim and shoot in front of him.If Vaida's attacks were all about affecting a wide area, then Harvey's attacks were all about accuracy. While he looked casual, whenever he pulled the trigger, an enemy would flop in a crumpled mess after each shot. The long-haired man could only watch with a dark expression.Despite bringing along an army of assassins with heavy firepower, his forces were being decimated."Darn it…!" The long-haired man let out a roar. "Deploy the heavy weapons!"Before he could finish yelling, he shuddered. There was disbelief in his eyes.
After eliminating Ruins and Ashes, Harvey did not waste another second, slammed his foot into a table, and sent it flying with a smile. Contrary to everyone's expectation, he did not leave the fire escape. Instead, he jumped out of a window and immediately ruined the long-haired man's plans.However, it was obvious that there were guards outside the window as well. As soon as they saw Harvey appear, the armed men were only slightly stunned before they aimed their guns at Harvey and pulled their triggers.Harvey immediately side-stepped, grabbed the fire extinguisher the cafe prepared for an emergency, and started spraying it all around him. Half the street was instantly covered in white as the bullets missed their marks, but several tourists who did not manage to escape in time were hit. The tourists cried, and it simply made the assassins even more aggressive.In just a short while, all these people would lose their lives.Harvey's eyes turned cold when he realized how nonchalant
However, before the Islander woman could swing her sword down, she could feel a sharp pain on her throat as a red dot appeared. Then, she could even feel all her strength disappear. She collapsed to the ground in disbelief, unable to make a sound. It was obvious that this woman could not understand how she was killed even moments before she died.The waiters and tourists only realized what was happening when they saw this moment. They screamed as they quickly ran toward the exits, throwing the entire Lucky Café into chaos. Harvey ignored all the chaos, picked up the sword from the woman's hand, and continued walking with a calm expression. At this time, a long-robed man and woman walked toward him among the crowds. Both of them looked quite strange. The man was missing an ear, while the woman was missing an eye. However, their energy signatures were terrifying, and they seemed very powerful."It's the Golden Triangle's assassin duo, Ruins and Ashes!""I heard the two could even de
While Hyperborea was a small city, as it was located on the nape of Snowdrake Mountain, it was also one of the most famous tourist cities in the country. Around 30 million travelers came to Hyperborea throughout the year, enriching their economies. However, it was somewhat difficult to manage the city.More than 90 percent of the population here came from other cities. So, it was going to be difficult to find anything about anyone.Besides being a tourist city, Hyperborea was also a location where people from all walks of life congregate.Harvey glanced around as he sat in the corner. He noticed that other than travelers, most of the people here were foreigners who spoke with foreign accents. Many of them carried firearms in secret, and some were obviously trained in martial arts. This place was destined to be different from other cities.While it was a tourist city on the surface, this place hid an entire underworld.'No wonder Grand City set its entrance in a place like this. It
After what Vaida had said, Harvey had no choice but to unlock the door. However, when Vaida glanced at the rear-view mirror, she said, "You get down!"Harvey had no choice but to shrug when being aimed with the repeating crossbow and got out of the driver's seat. Vaida quickly drove on the mechanic's truck and left like the wind. Shortly, several Toyota Prados appeared once more and headed straight toward the truck.Harvey looked at the scene and narrowed his eyes, seeming to be in deep thought. Then, he pulled out his mobile and dialed Geoffrey's personal number.When Geoffrey answered the call, he curiously asked, "What is it, friend?"Harvey replied with a smile. "Hello, Geoffrey. I'm supposed to be the mayor of Grand City, but the second I've arrived in Hyperborea, assassins are already here to kill me. And the person who wants to kill you and me is the same person.""You're in Hyperborea?" Geoffrey's voice became tense. "Who's the one who wants to kill you?""Ellena," stated
But just because Harvey was knowledgeable, it did not help. Several other plateless Toyota Prados drove in. All the windows from the passenger's side had been rolled down, showing individuals wearing military uniforms with heavy weapons in their hands.Harvey cursed as he immediately scouted around, thinking what he could use at a time like this.Vaida gave Harvey a look and showed off the repeating crossbow in her hand, then she quickly aimed and pulled the trigger.Whoosh!Silver bolts of light were fired at the cars, immediately piercing the Toyota Prados drivers. Then, there was an explosion. The Prados instantly turned into balls of fire as the vehicles were blown up.Harvey clicked his tongue. "These must be the legendary Thunderblasts. These are nice… They are more powerful than your usual weapons."Vaida coldly exclaimed, "Stop wasting your breath and start driving!"Harvey smiled and immediately hopped into the mechanic's truck and rammed through the chain fence surroun
Just when Harvey did not know how to respond, Vaida suddenly walked into the cockpit from behind. First, she glared at Harvey, then responded with Ellena's solemn voice. "It's done."When the person heard this voice, it was obvious that the man heaved a sigh of relief. "Land the plane on the last runway near the edge, then retreat immediately. Remember, don't leave any unfinished business behind. Our conversation is over." Then, the tone became engaged before it was completely cut off.Meanwhile, Harvey quickly took control of the plane's yoke and landed the plane successfully on the runway. The plane landed successfully. However, with one look outside, he suddenly frowned and said, "Something's not right. Go!"Then, Harvey dragged Vaida along with him and ran to the plane's emergency door. He opened the door and immediately jumped out.At this time, all the passengers in the first-class cabin finally got hold of themselves and started screaming and yelling. Instantaneously, the en
All the other passengers could only watch the sudden turn of events with mouths agape. It was as if they could not believe just how terrifying Vaida was. Even Harvey narrowed his eyes. He already knew that Vaida was a powerful martial artist and one that was close to losing control. But only now did he realize that the woman was trained in the legendary Basilisk Palm.It was a unique martial art from the tribes. While it was not exceptionally powerful, it was extremely venomous. Just one strike could make an elite like Ellena from Servitas lose power and control of her body, explaining just how terrifying this technique was.Before Harvey could say anything, Vaida had already picked up the revolver on the ground and immediately fired at her arms and legs. Then, she dislocated Ellena's jaw, making sure that Ellena could not kill herself no matter what.Vaida's directness made Ellena's eyes filled with rage. She could not believe that she still lost despite being in a situation wher
