“Evermore’s been working with the John family?”Shepard smiled at Karina Joyner.“Specifically, Blaine’s working together with the Coraal Revered.”Blaine John’s eyes twitched.“Enough nonsense!“I heard that Evermore has ten of the Revered and the Twelve Earthly Branches!“Both sides would never get involved with each other’s businesses!“How would you know if I’m working with the Coraal Revered?!“Besides, if you’re truly from Evermore, why would you intentionally reveal all this?!”Shepard smiled.“Generally speaking, I wouldn’t know about it either.“Even if I did, I wouldn’t mention anything.“That said, you’ve been working with her to snuff me out!“If you succeed, the John family would completely take over Golden Sands, maybe even the entirety of Gangnam, with Evermore’s help.“The John family would simply allow Evermore to invade Gangnam after that!“Evermore would then give the family, you, the greatest benefit possible!“My position!“I’d die a horrible death
Harvey York clapped his hands to get everyone’s attention.Then, he folded his arms before stepping forward.“We have all the proof we need, Young Master John.“Do you require anything else?”Blaine John stood still as he looked around.He did not refute the accusations, nor was he enraged.Only a cold glare could be seen in his eyes.“There’s nothing else to explain.“That’s exactly how it is.“But, so what?“Do you think you can do anything to me just because you’re Longmen’s young master?Then, Blaine glanced at Damon John.“I’m sorry, Father.“I didn’t expect everything to be exposed here.“I apologize.“That said, I’ll deal with the situation myself.“Your rise to power will not be affected in any way.“The John family will remain.”‘What?!’A sudden chill came to everyone’s spine after hearing those words.An unspeakable sense of murderous aura seeped out, making anyone shudder.Damon’s heart instinctively skipped a beat.“What do you mean, Blaine?!“How da
Harvey narrowed his eyes.This wasn’t his first time going against Blaine. However, he never expected Blaine to harbor such high ambitions.‘Ruling for the rest of eternity? He’s trying to be king! At this point, he’s no different than a warlord!’ he thought. “The king’s father?!” Damon said. His expression twisted into something horrible. “Are you saying that if I listen to you, and let you handle everything…I’d just end up being a king’s father in the future?!”Blaine crossed his arms, smiling.“That’s right. After all, your ambition is too small. You can’t hope to lead the family.“But I’m different!“I can raise the family to the peak! When that happens, you can have whatever you want! Isn’t that great?“Let me give you a piece of advice.“Don’t go against me, and don’t drag me down either. Just watch and learn.”“Blaine!” Kairi snarled, her expression ugly. “Some ambition you have! You want to be king? Do you think your family is capable of achieving that?! Wake up
Everyone’s eyes were glowing after they heard Blaine’s words.They stared at Blaine, then at Harvey, looking as if they were making a tough decision.Harvey frowned; he had seen too many princes and young masters in his life. Despite that, Blaine was the only one brave enough to come up with this idea.He scrutinized Blaine for a moment, then waved his hand to stop the people around him from doing anything.“Do you know what you’re saying, Blaine? You’re planning to rebel together with the John family and all these people,” he said. Blaine smiled.“Since ancient times, heroes are born through chaos!” he said haughtily. “As of right now, five strong countries are looking at Country H with ulterior motives.“Mongolia, the country dependent on Country H, is currently in a dispute against Altruria.“This country’s sacred martial arts training grounds, the five hidden families, and the top ten families are completely detached from each other.“Country H is surrounded by enemies!
Crack!Blaine took a step forward, and his fierce aura spread out. The ground in front of him cracked.“Tell me that again! I dare you!” he roared.“I said that you’re no match against Emery,” Harvey said.“You think you’re being discreet, hiding your strength while planning ahead. You paid a huge price just to become a God of War…“But do you think that you can rule just because of that? How naive can you get?”Everyone froze after hearing Harvey’s words. They looked at Blaine in fear.‘No wonder he’s so confident! He’s already a God of War!‘The young master of the John family, a God of War, and the new Shepard of Evermore…‘He truly has the right to rise to power if he was able to achieve all that!’Many were thinking of standing with Blaine at this very moment. Karina and Ibuki secretly made a gesture; naturally, they were planning to support Blaine with all their might.“These might not be enough, but the Locke family values me!” Blaine said.“The Five Royal Families s
“As for everyone who supports you…“Do you really think you’d have that so easily, without any consequences? All those people are well-versed in kicking others while they’re down.”Harvey chuckled.“Do you think I’ll simply let them cause trouble in my country?”Harvey crossed his arms as he stepped forward. His face was ice.Blaine watched, suddenly feeling as if Harvey’s body was expanding infinitely.The man who thought that he was destined for greatness, immediately sensed an overwhelming pressure in front of him.His expression changed, and he instinctively took a step back.“Harvey York! You’re just Longmen’s young master! You’re beneath me!” Blaine exclaimed, a wretched look on his face. “What right do you have to show off like this?!“That’s right!” Karina cried, standing up. “If Young Master John rises to power, the Americans will surely join hands with Country H!”Ibuki smiled. “The Island Nations will continue being friends with the country as well. We’ll all suppo
“Your life is in my hands now! With my command, you’ll face a horrible death!” Blaine roared.“You want me dead?” Harvey said.“With a bunch of nobodies from your family?“Or with your genetically enhanced friends? What about the sacrificial soldiers of the Island Nations? Or rather, your strength as a God of War?”Harvey clapped lightly. Immediately, many figures emerged from the walls. “Disciples of Heaven’s Gate, here to fight for Sir York!”“Longmen’s law enforcement, ready for duty!”“The Patel family is ready to die for Sir York!”“The six Hermit Families are the same!”More and more people showed up, surrounding the John family’s residence completely.Harvey calmly looked at Blaine, not moving an inch. He wasn’t going to use all of these people in the first place… However, Blaine intended to go against him to the very end.Damon let out a sigh.“Give up, Blaine. You’re no match against him.“Even if you won’t think for yourself, at least think about your family.
Harvey took a step forward, then swung his palm forward.Slap!The slap wasn’t at all loud or scary…But Blaine, despite using all his might to attack, looked as if he was struck by lightning.His body was sent flying to the back, and he smashed into the ground. Blood gushed out his mouth instantly after.His fierce, murderous expression vanished. Blood flowed right out of every single one of his orifices.A God of War…was taken out with a single slap.‘What?!’The place was dead silent. Everyone looked at Harvey in disbelief.Nobody expected a God of War like Blaine to be slapped aside so easily after revealing his strength.‘The seemingly weak slap instantly took out Blaine?‘That’s… Harvey’s insane!’Everyone suddenly understood.The representative of the country’s Martial Arts Alliance… Longmen’s young master… Those titles weren’t just for show.Harvey had earned them with his strength.Only another God of War could go against a God of War!Harvey was one of the out
