“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
“Mr. Quill is a senior of the Golden Sands! Do you think you’re the king of the city for causing trouble at his funeral like this?!”Naturally, Blaine was prepared to make Harvey a scapegoat before anything else.“What? Are you fighting for the spotlight?”Harvey smiled.“As expected of a man like you. I thought you wouldn’t be coming today. I didn’t think you’d pull off something like this now!“Even so, I don’t want to spout nonsense with you too much today.“If you’re that unhappy… If you want justice, then come at me. I’m here for you.”After hearing his words, Wanda leaned closer toward Blaine with a pitiful look.“Young Master John! You need to help us!“Under Ms. Alani’s lead, us people from the World Civilization Department came here to look into the culture of the people here.“We only wanted to experience how the locals do their distinguishable burials here!“And yet Representative York kept being unreasonable, threatening to kill us!“Look here! Look at how many
Ordinary people would be scared witless with all that slander…However, Harvey only smiled. He crossed his arms, and approached Blaine. Then, before Blaine could react, he slapped Blaine. Slap!Blaine was sent flying, and slammed into the ground.Even if he was secretly an expert martial artist, he couldn’t react fast enough to prevent Harvey from hitting him. He thought he didn’t dodge because he got careless; he didn’t expect Harvey would do something like this to him.The crowd was dead silent.Who was Blaine again…?He was the young master of the John family! No matter how low-key he was, he was still one of the best young masters in the country. Yet, Harvey still dared to slap the man in the face under such circumstances…Who gave him courage?Azrael and the others looked surprised; they didn’t expect Harvey to be this fierce.Blaine touched his face, shocked. His face darkened instantly when he could feel his swollen face. He didn’t think that Harvey would hit him.
Harvey’s dominance made Blaine’s eyes twitch.Alani and the other women were shocked. Naturally, they didn’t think that Harvey would be more fierce than Blaine in such a situation.Blaine was one of the top ten families’ young masters! A prominent figure that everyone in Country H had no choice but to bow down to!And yet, he was completely suppressed by Harvey!Nothing made sense!Blaine’s guards were about to step forward, but they were instantly held back by the disciples pointing their firearms at their heads.The air immediately turned tenseThe guards knew they were quite good fighters, but they wouldn’t be able to survive if they went up against Heaven’s Gate.“Time’s almost up. You have thirty seconds.”Harvey looked at the Rolex on his wrist.“To be honest, I’d rather you not agree to my conditions. That way, I can crush you with all my might. After all, with our identities, we need a proper reason to do anything, right?”Blaine’s eyes twitched again, and his face w
“I’m sorry, Mr. Quill! This was my fault!“I apologize! I do hope that you can forgive me before you go!”Different from before, Blaine’s arrogance was replaced by a sense of humbleness. He didn’t seem like a young master at all then.Everyone was shocked, but they had to admit that it was quite impressive for him to be so flexible. Only a true elite like him could endure this much humiliation.Even Harvey started to show a playful expression when he looked at Blaine.A prideful and arrogant man would be easy to deal with, but… A flexible man who was prepared to endure any hardship would no doubt be tough to deal with.When Blaine was done apologizing, he finally stood.“We’re leaving!”He left, glaring at the group of people who came to cause trouble in the first place.“Did I say that they can leave?” Harvey exclaimed coldly.“What else do you want?!” Alani yelled.She and the rest glared furiously at Harvey. Blaine had already kneeled for their mistakes. Was Harvey actual
Blaine took a deep breath.“There’s a saying… What goes around, comes around.“It’s never too late to take revenge. I won’t let this go easily. I’ll make sure that Harvey gets the lesson he deserves.”Alani rolled her eyes at Blaine after hearing him skimping past the subject.“Why don’t you deal with him yourself, Young Master John? If you sneak up on him, he won’t know what hit him!“Of course, if you don’t want him dead, you should just go for the people around him! Not only would he suffer, but there’s also a chance he’d simply collapse!“That way, we’d win without a fight! I’ll make sure the higher-ups know of your achievements! They’ll…”Slap!Blaine swung the back of his palm across Alani’s face.She screamed in pain, and slammed into the corner of the car. Her body trembled profusely. An unspeakable force was hidden in the seemingly-simple slap.Alani covered her face with a bitter expression.“What are you doing, Young Master John?!“Don’t forget! Not only am I fro
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
