Clang, clang, clang!Yuri’s attacks grew more ruthless and sporadic after he got the upper hand, fiercely pushing Elias back.After every swing, Elias would leave heavy footprints on the ground, as if that was the only way to dissipate the heavy pressure attacking him.Yet, he remained stable despite looking like he was at a disadvantage. No ordinary attack would be able to break his defenses that easily.After some time passed, Yuri started to get annoyed. He quickly jumped back, revealing a copper cylinder in his hand. He twisted it while aiming right in Elias’s direction.Boom!A flurry of shuriken flew right at Elias at the speed of light.Elias’s face darkened instantly. “How shameless can a grandmaster like you get?!”He spun his sword around like a windmill, deflecting a huge amount of shurikens and redirecting them to the ground. Even so, a few still managed to lodge themselves right into him.The shurikens were doused in poison.“You use poison?!” Cameron couldn’t he
Cameron was boiling with anger after hearing Harvey’s words.“You’re going to teach him? With what?“You think you can lecture Elias just because you know a thing or two about martial arts?“No matter how weak he is, he’s still a God of War! You have no right to even shine his shoes!”Clang!Harvey casually picked up a fruit knife before throwing it forward. The glimmer of its blade resembled a ray of moonlight.Cameron watched in shock as Harvey released his aura as soon as the fruit knife and Yuri’s sword clashed.Clack!Yuri’s sword shattered to pieces. His hands exploded, and he was sent flying as well. Blood gushed out of his mouth as he slammed into the wall.Only after that did he finally come to his senses. His body trembling, he raised his head and looked at Harvey in fear.‘He took me down immediately?! He looks just like a kept man; I almost killed him before…‘And yet he crushed me instantly when he got just a bit more serious?!’Yuri was filled with despair; he
Harvey casually stood beside Elias. He blocked Elias’s veins before pulling out the shurikens and forcing the poison out of the latter’s body.“Don’t you think that you’re being a little funny? You think you have the right to talk to me like that?” he said while looking back at Yuri.“Not just you, even your master wouldn’t dare talk to me this way.“You’re not the first sword saint that I took down, either.“I don’t see the rest of them coming at me.“What? Do you think you’re special?”Yuri froze. “You were the one who took out Akio Yashiro and Miyata Shinosuke?!”Harvey frowned.“Sounds like them. But why would anyone remember people that they took down?“You sword saints aren’t that impressive, anyway.“Nobody would care as long as you hide in your own homes.“The ones who show off in Country H would often die horrible deaths.“You’re lucky. At least you get to pick a spot to be buried in.“But you probably have a lot of enemies, judging from the arrogant look on your
When Yuri was dragged away, the rest of the Islanders were detained as well. Once the ground was cleaned up, Harvey went back to the pavilion for his tea.“I’m sorry, Sir York! I was ignorant! Please forgive me!”Although Harvey didn’t make things harder for Cameron, his eyes twitched and he hurried to Harvey while gritting his teeth.His high and mighty attitude had vanished completely. When he looked at Harvey, his gaze was filled with nothing but fear and respect.After all, martial artists admire combat strength the most.A young and powerful God of War like Harvey would definitely be worthy of Cameron’s respect.That was why Cameron was being extremely careful—he was deeply afraid of Harvey coming for him.He had been showing off the entire time, after all. He even demanded Harvey to be his family’s servant!Harvey took a few sips of tea before glancing calmly at Cameron.“You’re not that good of a person. But since you’re here to help… I’m willing to let this go.”A sma
Westley pondered for a moment.“Can’t you just remove the lymph with invasive surgery? Even if there are side effects after that, it’s fine.”Maren pointed at the lymph with a laser pointer.“It’s not that I don’t want to, Young Master Westley. The risk is just far too great.“Look here. The lymph is growing in between your brain and cerebellum.“Traditional methods might hurt your brain. You might turn into a vegetable for the rest of your life, or the lower half of your body might stop working completely. You won’t be able to take care of yourself if that’s the case.“Invasive surgery might be quite troublesome as well. Because the cerebellar lobes wrapped around your brain and cerebellum, nobody can know if the surgery would cause side effects after that.Maren let out a sigh.“I suggest that you take medicine for your situation instead of surgery.”“But what if there’s no medicine to deal with the situation?” Westley asked.Maren appeared confused, but she retained her pr
On the next day, twelve o’clock at noon.Harvey went to the Golden Sands Hotel. He looked at the antique-looking renovations, thinking that it was quite a coincidence to come back here so often.That said, Harvey preferred the bustling sight of the place, not the entire place completely booked again.Blaine was still the one who booked it, and he was still waiting inside the VIP room.Westley got someone to ask Harvey to meet up, but Harvey simply refused. Blaine had to make the call for this all to happen.After arriving at a spacious room, Harvey casually looked inside to find a middle-aged man in a robe sitting beside Blaine.The man had a stern expression and a square face; he looked as if he was in his fifties, yet he had such a dignified aura that people feared and respected. He was playing with a turquoise carving. The turquoise had completely turned green; it was clearly something invaluable.Harvey saw the item in an auction, and it cost thousands of dollars at least. A
Harvey didn’t care about the situation at all; he casually sat down and poured himself a cup of tea.“Since you’ve already prepared the dish for me, I’ll have to try it.“I believe that it’s made just for me, anyway.“You’d do everything you can just to have me do your bidding, after all.“I have to admit, you’re pretty tolerant!“I’ve been doing nothing but disrespect you, yet you still treat me like a good friend. I wouldn’t be able to do the same thing if I were you.”Harvey picked up his utensils before casually taking his first bite out of the seafood platter.At any table, only the seniors were allowed to start eating first… Yet, Harvey was taking bites without a care in the world.Blaine frowned, and even the square-faced man froze before glaring disdainfully at Harvey.That said, he managed to keep his control quite well. Despite his hatred toward Harvey, he didn’t say a word against Harvey as he casually sipped his tea.He didn’t move his utensils, though. He was nat
On the one hand, it’d be beneficial to deal with Westley’s trouble as well as blow smoke at the Americans.On the other hand, Emery wanted his subordinates to see just how kind he was to them.Since Blaine was on his side, Emery had no choice but to mediate for Westley, no matter how much he despised Harvey.After all, there was a huge chance that Harvey would be able to fix Westley since he could tell the problem with a single glance.The square-faced man couldn’t help but scoff after hearing Harvey’s mocking tone.Naturally, he always looked down on arrogant people who actually thought they were impressive just because of a few compliments.Harvey smiled. He put his utensils down, and sized up Blaine.“If I remember correctly…“I must’ve told you before. I admire your talent to always look at the bigger picture.“I won’t make things harder for you today. Just say what you want!”Blaine squinted for a moment.“I’ll be frank then, Sir York,” he replied after pondering the si
Drake shrugged nonchalantly and said to Journi, "I don't care whether you want to kneel, but you know my nickname well."As they spoke, Drake's right finger was already starting to pull the trigger.Journi gritted her teeth, but in the end, she slowly bent the knee. Harvey was stunned as he was going to make his move. There was surprise in his eyes. All these men and women from high society had their own pride. He did not expect her to be able to be so flexible in a time like this. She deserved his praise!"Tsk. Aren't you a princess? Aren't you always prideful? Don't they call you a goddess?" Drake looked at Journi disdainfully when he saw her kneel. He patted Journi's hand with a sneer. "You've always despised me, haven't you? Why are you kneeling before me now?"If it isn't because Ms. Isis desired you, do you think I'll let you kneel here? You're just a daughter from some second-rate top family. You think you're untouchable, and you want to go against us? Do you think you're an
Hearing Drake's words, Journi coldly said, "Drake, are you stupid? Do you know who you are? Are you threatening me? Ruin my face, then. Show me if you can actually bear the consequences of your action!"Journi was quite fearless. Besides Harvey being right next to her, it was also because Journi was sure Drake would not dare to do anything to her. She was a member of the Stanton family, after all. While the Stanton family was not one of the top ten families or one of the five hidden families, they were still one of the top families.If they butted heads and went all out, it would never end well for both sides."Ha! Don't think I didn't know Emery is no longer interested in you," Drake waved his hand, and four brawny men walked out, their eyes locked on Harvey and Journi."I gave you some respect in the past because Emery wanted you, so I did it for his sake. Do you really think you mean anything? And now? Who do you think you are? So what if I tell you to kneel and call her Queen?
Just when Harvey was giving Isis a good look, Jouni could not help but yelp as if she had discovered something novel. "Drake Ward? Why is he here? Isn't he supposed to be back in the Northern Lands?"Harvey looked at Isis and instantly frowned. Then, his eyes turned to the man sitting opposite Isis. He was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and had a buzz cut. He was also covered in tattoos and looked very aggressive. Most importantly, he was the only man from Country H who could be on the same level as all these foreigners here.And the way he looked at Isis was one of unrestrained aggression. However, despite clearly noticing that, Isis did not say anything else. That also explained the man's high status because, typically speaking, someone like Isis would definitely kill any man who gave her those looks."Drake Ward?" Harvey was curious. "Why does this name sound so familiar?""Of course it is," Journi replied coldly. "He belonged to one of the five hidden families, the Ward family o
Since the other side wanted to drop all pretenses, he also could do it his way. They lived in an era when fighting fire with fire was the only way to go. The man's expression froze, somewhat darkened. He did not expect this man to be the current chairman of Country H Commercial Group, which meant he had bitten off more than he could ever chew. If he had known, he would not have wasted his breath.But from how calm Harvey was, he could tell that Harvey was definitely someone who would honor his threats. If Harvey really did take this to Elric, then it would simply make everyone look bad. Even if they were sure this place had nothing to do with the commercial group, who would they complain to when Harvey locked all the exits?The moment that thought crossed the man's mind, he could only say with a straightened expression, "I see that you're the chairman, Mr. Harvey. If that's the case, please come in. My master wanted to meet you for a long time."When Journi saw the man had taken a
"True, this is not our territory," the man said with a smile, "but since Mr. Stanton rented this place to us, this place is under our management for the time being. When he rented us this place, we made a promise. Other than the chairman of the Country H Commercial Group, only the guests that we designated can enter this place. "Even gods will have to follow this rule. Not only are you trying to make it hard for us, but you're also making it hard for your father. I believe you won't make it difficult for us, right?The man gave Journi a meaningful smile. A woman who came to his master after submitting herself to him didn't have anything to be proud of.Journi's expression darkened. "What if I said this man is my boyfriend?""Boyfriend?" The man smiled. "He can't enter even if he's your husband. But I know you people like to break the rules all the time. If you want to force your way through, then we'll act accordingly."The man clapped; instantly, eight powerful-built men walked
The next day, eight o'clock in the evening… Harvey got into a car, and Journi was waving at him with a smile. In the past two days, Journi didn't interrupt him and Yvonne, and simply let them clean up everything that had happened earlier.Once it was almost done, only then did Journi ask Harvey to do as he promised and pretend to be her boyfriend.According to Journi, the man from Country A who liked her was becoming worse and worse. One time, he even went to the female toilet and she almost lost her innocence. All she wanted was for Harvey to deal with this properly.Originally, Harvey didn't want to make a move. When he heard how improper the man acted, he was furious and agreed to Journi's request. However, Journi said that this couldn't be taken care of using force alone. She hoped Harvey would go and meet him and settle this peacefully. This would be good for both sides.Originally, Harvey was going to ask Tyson to immediately teach that man a lesson. But since Journi requ
Linus almost wanted to slap the secretary out of fury. "I'm warning you! This is something we have to deal with ourselves. If we can, Emery will ally with us and help us deal with the small problems that we might encounter. But if we can't… Let me tell you what'll happen. Emery will kick us when we're down and will never offer us a helping hand!"Linus's expression became even darker after he said that. Those who were able to become one of the highest ranking members of the family, it didn't matter how arrogant they were or how materialistic they were, their basic judgment wouldn't stray too far away from being accurate. He was already able to guess Emery's personality. It was said that there was no love within a royal family. It was the same for wealthy families.The beautiful secretary nodded and whispered, "But Mr. Linus, our biggest problem is we're running out of resources. Without powerful locals from the country to help us right now, we're nothing when we're facing Yvonne
Wolsing Grand Hospital. Midnight.Linus was covered in bandages, looking in extremely bad shape. While he had plenty of bodyguards, the Islanders refused to stop no matter what. After the clash, they had beaten him up thoroughly. While there was no permanent injury, he was still covered in bruises.He used his right hand to pick up a cigar as he cursed, "Bastard! All these traitorous Islanders… They took my money… Not only did they do nothing, but they even attacked me! I will kill them after this!"He gritted his teeth. "And that witch Yvonne! She better not think this is over! One day, I'll find a way to kill all of you! Not only you, I will kill your whole family and that man of yours too!"At this time, Linus was no different from a woman scorned. All that was left for him to do was to take out his little book of grudges and start recording. As for how Yvonne managed to retaliate… Though Linus was furious with her, he was also terrified of her.The plot he had so meticulousl
Everything was over. Whether it was the Xaviers, the Islanders, or someone else, they couldn't do anything about this case anymore. With this video, no one could undo anything.On the second floor, Journi looked at what happened with shock. Only after a long time did she whisper, "All we needed to spend is 5,000?""I guess," Harvey said with a shrug. "But I needed to prepare some money beforehand. My subordinates found out that Linus bribed Nomura and the Islanders 100 thousand per head. Nomura and his ilk are greedy, so they agreed to it. I told my subordinates to leak the news that after the negotiation, Linus could gain a lot more benefits."The Islanders naturally wouldn't accept the fact that they'll only be able to gain a little profit, so our men approached them again and pretended to be part of Linus' men. They agreed to hike the price. I even transferred the money to them, so the Islanders had to give today's performance their all. If they had to go as far as to commit suic
