Harvey narrowed his eyes as he looked curiously around the guest hall, not saying a word.Stefan and a group of disciples were reciting their teachings, making the entire place sound heavenly.Stefan’s eyes twitched, but then went back to normal—as if he sensed Harvey and the others’ arrival.“Interesting.”Harvey smiled in Stefan’s direction.Mandy was curious. “What do you mean?”Harvey smiled again.“I’m not that knowledgeable. It’s my first time seeing all the monks gathered together to recite their teachings. But I’m curious—if someone forcefully stole the beads right now, would the monks step up against the perpetrators?”“Stop using your ignorance to boost your courage, Harvey!” Julie snarled before Mandy could say a word.“Mr. Stefan and the others are reciting the Thousand Sutra right now. They wouldn’t even budge if someone kills them—let alone if the beads are being stolen!”“Is that so?” Harvey shrugged. “Looks like the final step isn’t as easy as we think.”Juli
“Aren’t you scared of me beating you to death?!”Rhodes took a step forward, stopping Takai in his tracks.“I order you to put the bowl down! After that, apologize to Mr. Lennon! If not, I’ll make sure you die horribly!”Rhodes shot Takai a furious gaze; what happened back in the Mandrake Residence had made his ego skyrocket. He was certain that Takai would kneel if he simply spoke.The Surreys stopped after hearing Rhodes’s words at such a crucial moment. The prominent figures of the outskirts were watching with admiration as well.“Isn’t that Young Master Rhodes?“He’s a disciple of the Kronen Temple, as well as the young master of the Wright family!”“The man in front of him must be a genetically enhanced warrior! He’s extremely powerful! He dares challenge someone like that?!”“Sigh! This you don’t know! The warrior showed up before, but he was completely scared stiff.“The warrior probably didn’t know that Young Master Rhodes was with Mr. Lennon!“He wouldn’t have shown
“Me? Want to die?”Takai chuckled coldly.“If you keep yapping, I’ll slap you too. Don’t believe me?”Rhodes raised his chin. “Come on, then! Hit me! If you do, I’ll make sure that you know…”Slap, slap!Before Rhodes was done talking, Takai took a step forward and slapped him around. His face was instantly swollen.Rhodes stumbled back, and coughed out blood.“How dare you lay your hands on me, you bastard?!” he exclaimed furiously.Rhodes was a young master of the Wright family. Not only was he a well-known archaeologist throughout the entire world, but he was also an expert martial artist.With his reputation alone, he had never been disrespected—not even once.Nobody expected he’d be slapped in the face so fearlessly.For someone like Rhodes, this was utter humiliation. Not just him, his family and the top ten families were getting shamed because of this.However, he still had some composure and understood something. His enemy must’ve gained enough courage to do somethi
“What?!”Everyone was dumbfounded after hearing Takai Kawashima’s explanation.Nobody thought Takai’s fear had anything to do with Rhodes Wright.That said, who was the one who scared off Takai?Rhodes looked horrible.“I don’t buy it! Who else could scare you off other than me?!“Lennon?!“Ernie?!“Do they even have that right?!”“Of course not.Takai chuckled before pointing at Harvey York.“Only Sir York himself has the right!”“Huh?!”“What?!”Everyone trembled after hearing Takai’s remarks. Their brains immediately stopped working then.Other than the people of Aenar Temple, only the Surrey family and Mandy Zimmer knew.The top-rated prominent figures in the outskirts could not see Harvey’s face since they were too far away.They could only see a faint figure.‘Someone amongst the crowd managed to scare Takai off?’‘And judging from what he said, he was even defeated by the person?!’‘This explains a lot…’Julie Augustus and the beautiful women who were watchi
Harvey York smiled.“You talk big, but you’re just filth that came out of genetic surgery.“If you give up and hand over the beads, I’ll let you off the hook.“If you don’t, you won’t even get a chance to regret your decision.”“Regret my decision?!Takai Kawashima gave a wretched chuckle.“That word isn’t in my dictionary!“I don’t know how you managed to get here unscathed…“But I can guarantee that none of you will leave here alive!“The moment I arrived here, your fate was sealed!”Naturally, not only did Takai show up to snag the beads, but he was also here to kill Harvey.After all, he chose to be genetically enhanced after he was crippled previously at Mandrake Residence.It was only a short time, but the pain he suffered was something no ordinary person would even begin to imagine.He probably would have kicked the bucket if not for his desire for revenge.Since he finally found an opportunity, he would naturally want Harvey ripped to shreds.Harvey could not be
Without a second thought, Takai Kawashima seemed gloomy before he started to attack more fiercely.His muscles seemed a little swollen. Sounds of wind crackling could be heard with every single swing of his blade.If any of his attacks were to land, Harvey York would be completely dead.Julie Augustus and the others looked at Takai’s fierce movements. They knew he was an enemy but were still utterly mesmerized to the point where they were on the verge of applauding.Rhodes Wright looked horrible as he tilted his head down. He did not say a word about the situation.He was a proud man, but even he knew he could not dodge Takai’s attacks.“Harvey…”Mandy Zimmer seemed a lot more worried than before.“No need to worry, Ms. Zimmer. Sir York has extraordinary talent.”Lennon commanded the Surrey family around while he comforted Mandy.In his mind, a mere Islander could not go against a man who easily fixed any energy circulation technique.It did not matter if Takai underwent Ame
“If you’re talking big, then why don’t you fight Takai instead?” exclaimed Aria Surrey after hearing Rhodes Wright’s remarks.Rhodes’ expression instantly darkened when he choked on his words.“Enough! Watch closely!”Lennon Surrey instantly cut off the two when he squinted at the sight before him.Bam!Harvey York quickly stepped back before flinging his jacket forward.The bullets flew right into the jacket before being guided to the side.Takai Kawashima wretchedly chuckled when he instantly appeared before Harvey and swung his fists.Swoosh!As usual, Harvey stepped back to evade the attack at hair’s length.Bam!The ground where Harvey stood was completely reduced to rubble.Debris flew out all over the place. It was a shocking sight.“Bastard!“Die!”Takai had been using all sorts of moves, even pulling out his firearm just to kill Harvey…And yet he still could not do it.He felt his breathing getting more rapid. His nerves instantly tensed up.He was afraid of
Without a second thought, the people were showing respect toward Takai Kawashima before disdainfully glaring at Harvey York.‘He’s obviously talentless. All he does is dodge every attack while acting like he’s some master!’‘How can someone be this shameless?!’‘Don’t martial artists care about their reputation the most?’‘He should be ashamed for being used like a tool! He should’ve been banging his head on the floor now!’“Show me what you got, Master Takai!“I want to see your strength after your genetic surgery!“Or are you scared that you won’t be able to defeat me if you show your strength?!“If that’s the case, I won’t even peek!”Rhodes Wright bragged as if he was capable.He turned around with an arrogant look.“Do it already! Take out Harvey, and we’ll fight after that!”In Rhodes’ eyes, nothing else mattered as long as Harvey was taken out first.As for how to fight Takai, he would figure that out afterward.He did not believe Takai would do anything to him aft
