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
“Hell’s Cut!”Alani roared, murderous intent exuding from her sword as she charged at Harvey. Eighteen different slashes were combined in one go, determined to kill. The air started to turn cold.“Aaah!”Everyone was shocked to see it. In their eyes, Alani was a true expert. Those who went against her would only suffer death.However, Harvey remained emotionless when faced with the attack. He twirled his sword, then swung it in front of him.Bam!A loud sound was heard.Alani was sent flying, and slammed into the ground. Her face was completely swollen, with a red print on it. She desperately tried to get up, but to no avail.“This is your strongest move?” Harvey smiled. “It doesn’t look like much, though.”“You bastard! You…”Alani was boiling with anger, but then vomited a mouthful of blood.Harvey stepped forward and kicked her down.“Tell me every single person who instigated the entire situation, then kneel in front of Quill’s grave. I won’t kill you if you do.”Alani
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
