“I’ll make you understand that you’ve made the worst decision of your entire life!” Seb exclaimed, his voice hoarse.His face was filled with nothing but rage. At the same time, he was starting to regret his decision.He wondered why he stood up to fight Harvey in the first place. If only he just safely pressured Harvey behind the scenes, he’d be rewarded once everything was set and done.Now that he was crippled, what was the point of the reward even if Harvey was taken down?“The sorcerers, go against me?”Harvey showed a disdainful expression.“Ask Kylen if he’d dare.”Harvey then ignored Seb, and wiped his hand with some tissues.“Who else is there? If this is all you’ve got, then you won’t get the justice you deserve. You’d have to give me an explanation about the situation as well.”“Don’t get too cocky, Harvey.”Shinsuke, who had been quiet the entire time, couldn’t hold himself back any longer. He quickly swallowed a pill before stepping forward with his arms crossed.
Harvey sighed.“You’re halfway to becoming a God of War, yet you’re still here swallowing drugs. Can’t you just let that go?”Harvey thought he figured out Shinsuke’s strength by now, but the latter was a lot more powerful than anticipated. With Shinsuke’s bloodshot eyes and bloodthirsty expression, there was simply no other explanation.Harvey knew the Islanders were involved with ninjas, onmyojis, conjurers, and martial artists. They’ve managed to invent all sorts of peculiar things because of all their combined talents.However, he didn’t think that even someone with extraordinary strength would use drugs.Still, it was enough to show just how much the Island Nations wanted Country H to fall. They would stop at nothing just to achieve that goal.“Come!”Shinsuke glared coldly after seeing Harvey take a step back. He scoffed, then took another step and wielded his sword again.The attack was as quick and ruthless as lightning. Shinsuke managed to bring his swordsmanship to th
Harvey didn’t do anything fancy.It was a clean and simple strike. Everyone could tell that he was aiming right for Shinsuke’s head.Many Islander experts were showing disdain, thinking that Harvey was boasting and completely unimpressive.However, only Shinsuke managed to see Harvey’s true power.His strike was simple, yet the speed alone was enough to terrify anyone. Shinsuke’s head would split in half if he was hit!He instinctively shivered after thinking about it. He quickly mustered his strength and swung his sword, trying to block Harvey’s attack.Clang!Shinsuke’s custom-made sword instantly snapped in half. It was clear the strength of Harvey’s strike was beyond Shinsuke’s wildest imagination.Swoosh!Harvey stopped his attack right as the sword was a hair’s length from Shinsuke’s head.“You’re not good enough. You can’t even take a single hit.”Shinsuke was frozen stiff, his eyes twitching frantically. He didn’t expect Harvey would stop there. This meant there was
“Sigh…”An eerie voice could be heard.A woman clad in traditional Indian clothing suddenly walked out from the crowd. She was wearing a face scarf that revealed some of her skin. There was a clear view of her waist, and a Cat’s Eye Stone was attached to her belly button.She exuded a refreshing scent as she walked out. She smelled like a cool breeze on a beach, captivating everyone’s hearts.She held a scimitar covered in jewelry. Despite her gentle demeanor, her expression was fierce. Simply put, the woman was a rose covered in thorns.“And who are you?” Harvey asked, looking at the Indian woman.The woman smiled; her eyes could trap hearts.“I am Wanda Garcia from India. I’m here to learn your ways of sparring. However, I’m willing to grant you any wish if you give up and let me capture you right now.”Wanda looked deeply at Harvey. Ordinary men would’ve already kneeled under her skirt.“Can you agree to kill yourself, then?” Harvey said, glaring at her.Wanda froze, as if
Harvey couldn’t even be bothered to look at Wanda, who was frozen stiff.“It doesn’t matter who’s behind this. You’re definitely the one causing trouble today, Alani.“You get the mighty Indians to go against me after hearing my name… But other than sending them to their deaths, what do you think you’re accomplishing here?“Come at me if you’re actually capable.“You’re only getting Wanda and the others to fight just for me to deal with them first, right?“You belong to Evermore, too! In Evermore, every single one of you are competitors.“As long as you can take out the top talents of the younger generation in the Far East… You’d be able to take over as the head of Evermore’s Far East territory!“I suspect that the royal family gave you permission to do this as well! Maybe the Island Nations are trying to have the entirety of Evermore itself…“If that’s the case, then Evermore must be very sad. It’d have to work as the Island Nations’ pawn. What a joke, especially for a myste
Slap!In just a single moment, a terrifying wave spread out. Cracks resembling spider webs formed between Alani and Harvey.Harvey trembled without making a single sound.Alani, on the other hand, rolled in the air a few times before stumbling to the ground. She was in high spirits when she stood up again, seemingly unhurt.The Islanders looked at each other before cheering loudly. In their eyes, Alani managed to remain unscathed after injecting herself with drugs. This meant that their experiment had succeeded!With the drug, the Island Nations would be able to create an unstoppable army!They’d be able to build a massive-scale alliance of the Far East!They could conquer the world! It would no longer be a dream for them!“Keep pretending, Harvey!” Alani said. “That was the Ashura’s Palm of the Abito Way! Anyone who gets hit by it will have their internal organs destroyed before dying!“You’re only fine for now because of your incredible training!“But how long do you thin
“I’ll make the entire world understand!“Going against the Way of Water means going against the entirety of the Island Nations! And opposing the country would mean opposing the World Civilization Department!“Us Islanders will not allow any sort of humiliation!”Alani quickly raised her hand.The people of Country H were speechless. Even the people of Evermore were looking at Alani with odd expressions.‘You can’t prove all that even if you beat Harvey now, can you…? Islanders not allowing humiliation? What a joke…’Of course, nobody would dare bring Alani down at that moment.The Islanders were completely riled up by the speech as well.“You bastard! Us Islanders are strong! We never allow humiliation!”Harvey let out a sigh.“Enough talk. Just come at me already.“And Prince, I need you to announce something…“Since this is a fair fight, nobody’s allowed to butt in. Whoever does is gunned down immediately! I’ll take responsibility if anything happens!”“Of course!” Princ
Alani knew that she had no way out of the situation.She came with an absolute order, after all!Not only did she fail to retrieve the mental cultivation technique, but she also failed to destroy Heaven’s Gate. If she didn’t complete this mission even after wasting the Budokami elixir…She would have no choice but to die.No matter the case, Harvey needed to be taken down.Without hesitation, Alani took a deep breath before taking out a needle that she kept close to her.“You’re strong, Harvey!” she exclaimed, looking at Harvey.“But if this was any other time, you would’ve been no match for me!“I have a mighty country supporting me! You’re completely alone!”Alani twisted the needle before stabbing it right into her arm. The veins on her face were immediately obvious, and she showed a wretched expression.Her doses had already gone past the recommended amount. Alas, she simply had no choice.“Who said I was alone? This country and its people are my biggest support!“I hav
Half an hour later, in a lounge in the Foster estate.Harvey held Vaida's wrist with his right hand. After some time, he said, "Geoffrey, what's wrong with her? When I met her on the plane, while she was on the brink of going berserk, she could still control it. But now, the energy cycle within her was chaotic, and an outsider's energy couldn't easily enter."It's as if she's been losing control for many years. What's going on here? And how can you lie to her saying that I'm the man of her destiny? If I became her obsession or even her inner demon, it wouldn't do her any good to her martial arts training," Harvey said as he could not help but let out a sigh.Regardless of what happened, Vaida still fought with him on the plane. Harvey could not ignore what happened to her because of that.Geoffrey sighed. "There's something you don't know. Not only is Vaida the daughter of the previous mayor of Grand City, but the Hierophant also prophesied her to be the reincarnation of Grand City
"That's right!" exclaimed Geoffrey. "You should come down now or let him get closer to check up on you!""Geoffrey, Neve. We have known each other for so many years. I know you don't want me to leave," replied Vaida, sighing. "But, do you think I'll believe you when you look for a random man to be my man of destiny? If a fake can replace the one I seek, I won't be trying to find him for three lifetimes, right?"Please, just ignore me and let me go in peace. Even if you can save me now, can you save me forever?"Obviously, while Vaida had a mental breakdown, she no longer recognized Harvey and forgot what had happened between them, but she was still a wise woman. She could tell that Geoffrey and Neve dragged Harvey here so that she would not die."Vaida! Don't forget that you're the daughter of the previous mayor! In my heart, you’re the real princess of Grand City!" Geoffrey roared. "I swore to him all those years ago that I would find the man of your destiny. I won't lie about som
"No! There is! Not only are you fated to cross paths, but such a fate is inevitable!" Geoffrey suddenly cried out. "Vaida, I managed to do as promised and found the man who is your destiny when I went to Wolsing last time! That's him! He's the man of your destiny! I won't have any objection even if you want to make your marriage official!"Geoffrey immediately rushed over to Harvey and pushed Harvey to Vaida. Harvey was stunned when he heard it, his eye twitching.What?Something about being the man of her destiny?Geoffrey did not give Harvey any time to react and winked at Harvey. "Mr. Representative, why don't you go speak with Vaida? The two of you promised to be together for three lifetimes before the Rock of Fate! You shouldn't miss each other now that you've been reunited!"When Harvey heard what Geoffrey had said, he was full of questions. Although he could understand every word, he did not understand what Geoffrey meant by that. Even Neve was so shocked that she subconsci
After Geoffrey had left, Harvey then walked into the courtyard. He looked around. Once he was sure there were no hidden cameras, he got into the bathroom and showered. Then, he changed into a new outfit.Too many things happened while he was on his way here, and he had to review everything. Only then would he be able to see the big picture of what had happened today.After that, he found the beverages meant for him. Then, he walked to the courtyard's edge, looking at the faraway scenery. The courtyard was built by the hills and a water source. In addition to the bridges and streams, he could see the plains in the mountains. He could even see the grass swaying as the wind blew.At the edge of the grassy plains were steep cliffs. The Fosters had built several gazebo-like structures there, which were quite terrifying. Harvey was curious and gave these cliffs a better look. That should be the edge of Grand City. He could see an endless ocean with crashing waves from here.Harvey could
Harvey saw Geoffrey already waiting there when he alighted the car. When Geoffrey saw Harvey, he was apologetic about the entire matter. Harvey did not need to say anything, and Geoffrey walked over, saying, "Friend… No, Mr. Representative. We will give you an explanation that you'll be happy with."Feel free to stay in the Foster family's estate. If anything happens again, you do not need to say anything. Our family will take full responsibility for this!"Harvey sighed. "There's no need for this, Geoffrey. My visit to Grand City will affect plenty of people's interests. It's normal for them to try and stop me from coming no matter what.""It's not that you're affecting many people's interests. Most importantly, you have affected one faction's interests," Geoffrey said as he gestured and led Harvey into the estate. As he guided Harvey in, he said, "The entire Grand City now knows your reason for coming to Grand City is to take on the Three Halls. What you're doing is taking away
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
