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
Kali’s face darkened after hearing Creed’s words.Bryar glared coldly at Creed. He was one of the outskirts’ top ten talents, and also a disciple of the Carrion Palace… More importantly, he was into Kali as well.And yet, Creed had done nothing but demand her obedience.This was simply unforgivable to him!Bam!Bryar slammed his hand on the wooden table before standing up. A clear palm print was seen denting the table.“Alright!” Ernie stood, cheering in joy. The simple move was enough to show just how powerful Bryar was. Bryar wasn’t in a hurry, either. Everyone watched in excitement as he walked to the middle of the room, his arms crossed.“I am one of the outskirts’ top ten talents, Bryar Flynn. I’m also an outer disciple of the Carrion Palace. If you give up right now, I can consider keeping you alive!”“The Carrion Palace is impressive, but what’s an outer disciple going to do here?” Creed smirked. “At least I’d respect you a little if you told me you were a core discipl
Everyone looked over, their heads numb. Their hearts went cold, and their legs were on the verge of giving up.The top outer disciple of the Carrion Palace, one of the top talents of the outskirts, Bryar, was taken out.Creed’s face had slightly lost color, but his strength clearly wasn’t affected at all as he stood with his arms crossed.Bryar was filled with fear and anger for a long time, then chuckled bitterly.“If given time, you would’ve been close to a God of War after another decade of training! Impressive! I underestimated you!”“Close to a God of War? That’s not even my goal!” Creed exclaimed. “I’m here to replace the South Sea God of War! My goal is to be the only God of War left there!”Creed squinted, as if he were lecturing Bryar.“The outskirts is a land for savages; the place is completely uncivilized.“You people wouldn’t understand how vast the world actually is!“Even my master is already considered a hero in Chinatown!“Experts who are more impressive than
Kali squinted at Creed for a long time, before finally taking a deep breath.“If Uncle Henrik’s still this stubborn about my father breaking his arm back then, I’m willing to break mine as compensation.“However, only the capable can have the position of branch leader.“Uncle Henrik had already harbored ill intentions back then. He conspired with enemies of the outskirts and used Longmen’s authority to seize control over the place! This was why my father decided against his rise to power!“This has remained the same even now.“If you want to kill your way back here, then so be it! Longmen’s outskirts branch will not falter, even if there’s only one person left here!“As for our arranged marriage?”Kali’s expression was as cold as ice.“Over my dead body!”“Heh! I love stubborn women like you the most!”Creed smiled cruelly. He then raised Kali’s chin, licking his lips.“Do you think you have a chance to even die if I decide to break your limbs and lock you in a cage like a b
