At night, Harvey York had gotten a few phone calls in his villa.Other than Yvonne Xavier’s daily reports and Kairi Patel’s flirting, Ethan Hunt also called.According to what he said, he could not get in touch with some soldiers of the Sword Camp.Then, he sent all the information of those soldiers to Harvey’s phone.Harvey glanced at it before showing an odd expression.The soldiers seemed to have been studying under the Aenar Temple. Nobody knew whether it was just a coincidence.After staying in the outskirts for a while, Harvey started to get an understanding of the place as well.Out of the three great temples of the outskirts, the Aenar Temple had the most presence.Not only did it have a lot of disciples, but it had been accepting donations since ancient times to the point where it was a massive force in the outskirts.The Aenar Temple had also been recruiting all sorts of talents.Miley Surrey and some soldiers of the Sword Camp were just a part of it.Miley aside,
Life in university was peace and quiet. Harvey overheard that only outstanding students would have a chance to be summoned by one of the great temples to be tested.Simply put, only the most well-known students in university would even be looked at. If not, it would be impossible to visit the temple.“The great temples seem a lot like gangs. To put it bluntly, this university is their testing ground to find people…”Harvey finally understood.Before he could figure out a way to stand out, he received a call in the afternoon. It was Ernie.Ernie spoke in a respectful manner. He told Harvey that he was just lectured by his grandfather. As an apology, he wanted to invite Harvey to the Crux Hotel at the Gangnam Outskirts.Harvey thought about the situation for a while. Since he had nothing to do at night, he agreed to go.At seven o’clock, Harvey went to the deluxe room of the Crux Hotel. Ernie and the others had been waiting for him for a long time.Wildcat was standing right besi
“The worst branch of all thirty-six?”Harvey thought about the situation for a moment, and was reminded of something.Though he was Longmen’s young master, he hadn’t been in Longmen for long. He hadn’t even seen the heads of the Eight Inner and Outer Walls, let alone all thirty-six branch leaders.He remembered that because of the outskirts’ folk customs, and the fact that it was far away from the mainland, the strength of the branch here was quite restricted.Even so, the weakest branch still represented one of the four cornerstones. Who would dare challenge Longmen like this without fear?“Tell me about this,” Harvey said.Ernie chuckled bitterly.“Because of his body, the branch leader has been hiding in the Vertigo Mountaintop Villa away from the outskirts.“In the past two years, his daughter, Kali Howell, has been taking control.“She’s quite popular in the outskirts’ branch. With her discreet methods, nobody had caused us trouble for a long time.“But a few days ago, a
At first, Harvey couldn’t be bothered to deal with the situation…But since Longmen was involved, he had no choice but to at least take a look.After pondering the situation for a moment, Harvey sipped his tea before finally speaking up.“I want the time and place. I’ll take a look whenever.”Ernie nodded in relief after hearing Harvey’s words.He sat still without getting everyone to move their utensils, as if he were waiting for someone.After taking a few glances, Harvey finally understood.Ernie knew that Harvey was capable, but Harvey was at most being treated as just a backup. There was probably someone more capable who got invited here.Footsteps were heard at the entrance.Other than Harvey, everyone stood up.A group of people in robes entered soon after.The person leading them was a handsome man with a buzz cut and an elegant aura. His eyes were brimming with light as he strutted inside.“Oh! Master Bryan’s here! Please! Come inside!”Ernie appeared very hospita
After seeing Harvey remain silent, as if he were shocked by Bryar’s mere presence, Ernie started looking down on Harvey.He wasn’t sure why his grandfather Lennon made Harvey an important guest, but if Bryar could take down the enemies while suppressing Harvey at the same time…It’d be beneficial for Ernie.Wildcat hesitated for a moment, but then decided not to say anything.Though he knew just how strong Harvey was, he had no idea that Harvey managed to correct the Surrey family’s energy regulation technique.If that wasn’t the case, Wildcat would’ve told Ernie off by now.-After a few rounds of alcohol, Ernie led everyone to a park beside a lake in the urban area.The park was already closed at five o’clock in the evening. Only the side door leading to a Budokan was opened.The place was dimly lit, but the Budokan beside the lake was very striking. To build a Budokan in a place like this was enough to show just how powerful Longmen’s outskirts branch was.“You haven’t tol
The harp sounds instantly stopped.The woman slowly stood up, and glanced at her surroundings. She was about five-foot-four, with a slim yet defined figure because of her training.Her face had exotic features. With just a single look, any man would understand why so many kings wanted to conquer the outskirts. Those people clearly weren’t looking for wine farms.The woman was none other than the current person in control over the outskirts’ Longmen branch, Kali Howell.She glanced at Bryar with a hint of disgust, then smiled. “Young Master Bryar. What brings you here to the Outskirts Budokan?”Bryar smiled back.“I heard that an ignorant fool has been challenging Longmen’s Budokan. I wanted to see who’d dare do something like that against you.”“You must be mistaken. It’s just a bit of infighting, is all. An outsider like you shouldn’t get involved. Please leave.”Bryar, resentful, glanced at Ernie.Ernie quickly took a few steps forward.“You’re mistaken, Ms. Kali! He didn
Kali showed a horrible expression.The eight disciples were the biggest supports of the outskirts’ branch. With their combined strength, they’d be powerful enough to go against a King of Arms.And yet they were all taken out that quickly…‘They didn’t get taken out after taking a single slap each, right…?’Kali started to think that she had underestimated Henrik’s disciple.Footsteps were heard in the darkness. Everyone looked over.A man in a black robe, without any shoes, appeared. The man looked twenty-eight at most; he was a little short, with a smoky smell on him.“Is he from the South Sea?” Harvey muttered to himself.He didn’t think that the person who challenged the Outskirts Budokan was actually a man from there.Bryar frowned, not saying a word; he naturally knew that as well.“Ms. Kali! I heard that my master—your master said that you’re an outstanding disciple. Why are you mad now that I showed up? I’m sad!”The man walked over with a smile and sat in front of Ka
“You? Are you sure about that?”Ernie’s voice went deeper.“Don’t think that you can do whatever you please just because you’re a King of Arms! In my eyes, you have no right!”“Oh? You know that much?”Creed smiled.“Since that’s the case, you should convince Kali to not go against me. You people are nothing to me anyway!”Ernie’s face was dark, and he was about to talk back. However, Kali glared at him before signaling for him to shut up.“Do you really think that nobody from the outskirts’ branch can stand up against you?” she asked.Creed grinned. “I don’t think so. I know so!”Kali took a deep breath before making a gesture.“It’s up to you now, Isaac!”A figure slowly came out of the shadow. Everyone squinted, and saw a man in his forties. He seemed quite slim, but exuded a fierce aura.He nodded at Kali and walked to the middle of the room, then calmly stared right at Creed.“Isaac is my father’s long-time servant. After following my father for more than twenty year
