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
Damon gave up all of his authority. The John family suffered total defeat.This meant that the family would most likely not remain as a top-rated family.After going to Wolsing, the Braff family would probably become one if they played their cards correctly.However, this wasn’t achievable in a short amount of time. They still had to go through many challenges. All that said, Harvey wasn’t interested in such a thing.Karina, Ibuki, and the others quickly fled with their tails between their legs.Harvey didn’t stop them. He didn’t want to cause more trouble while Golden Sands were in chaos.As for Evermore, he got Shepard to handle the situation instead.Everything was set in stone.After letting Rachel be in charge of the scene, Harvey casually walked out of the John family’s residence and got into the car that was prepared beforehand.The car drove past many streets and alleyways in the city.As soon as it was about to arrive at Fortune Hall, Harvey saw a roadside stall wi
"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
While Hyperborea was a small city, as it was located on the nape of Snowdrake Mountain, it was also one of the most famous tourist cities in the country. Around 30 million travelers came to Hyperborea throughout the year, enriching their economies. However, it was somewhat difficult to manage the city.More than 90 percent of the population here came from other cities. So, it was going to be difficult to find anything about anyone.Besides being a tourist city, Hyperborea was also a location where people from all walks of life congregate.Harvey glanced around as he sat in the corner. He noticed that other than travelers, most of the people here were foreigners who spoke with foreign accents. Many of them carried firearms in secret, and some were obviously trained in martial arts. This place was destined to be different from other cities.While it was a tourist city on the surface, this place hid an entire underworld.'No wonder Grand City set its entrance in a place like this. It
