Slap!Before anyone could even react to the situation, a terrifying air wave blasted out.A figure was sent flying before slamming right into the door.The shape of a human was instantly formed on the brass door.The guest hall furiously shook. Countless cracks could be seen around the walls.Takai Kawashima slowly slid down the door before blood trickled out of his orifices. His entire body was convulsing as well.A God of War, an expert of the Island Nations, the result of genetic surgery…Was instantly taken down with a single slap?!Takai seemed more miserable than he had been in Mandrake Residence.He could still stand before but did not even have the strength to struggle now.Harvey York crossed his arms calmly, like an indomitable deity.The sun shone on Harvey, showing a godly figure.Takai glared at Harvey with shock and disbelief.He was perplexed. He had already been genetically enhanced…He was a God of War…And yet, he could not even take a single slap from
Who even was Takai?!He was a grandmaster comparable to the Six Sword Saints!Legends said he single-handedly destroyed the Demon Ninja Sect and created the Fallen Slashes! He even lasted ten whole moves against Great Wall of Aenar Temple!He was a naturally fierce man!Not only did he get physically stronger through genetic surgery, but his skills were also enhanced!And yet, such a terrifying being was instantly slapped aside!This was just…“Impossible! This is impossible!“How did Harvey defeat Takai that easily?!“Did he do something underhanded?! Did he sneak up on Takai or something?!”Julie Augustus covered her face in disbelief.The beautiful women behind her seemed horrible as if they were slapped in the face.Nobody thought Harvey would have that kind of strength.“I gave you a chance, Takai.Harvey gave Takai a casual smile.“It’s a shame. You were the one who kept coming at me. Who else can you blame at this point?”“Why?! Why?!Takai showed a wretched exp
“It’s you?!Takai Kawashima trembled with shock in his eyes.“It’s you!“You’re the Emperor’s most wanted!“I would’ve gotten the Island Nations’ top talent to challenge you if I knew!”“Sorry…Harvey smirked.“But he already did. He also failed.”Takai was in disbelief when he thought of something.“Only one person can defeat someone like him!“You’re…”Bam!Harvey sent Takai rolling on the ground before stomping him on the chest.“I suggest you not to mention that name.“As long as you know yourself, then that’s good enough.“If you still insist, don’t blame me for what happens next.”“Bastard!” Takai screamed furiously.“Even if you’re him…“You don’t have the right to humiliate me like this!“This is no Bushido Spirit!”“Country H has been at war with the Island Nations for the longest time.“Why would I need something like that to deal with you people?“Since you don’t know how to value your life after I let you go, I’ll just have to send you your way this ti
“That’s why. On behalf of all the sects, I want you to release Master Takai!”Rhodes Wright spoke with a righteous look.“If you don’t listen, the sects will not take responsibility for any consequences!“You’ll have to bear everything!”Takai Kawashima came to his senses before quietly chuckling.“You’re impressive. You also have a high status…“But you won’t be able to kill me today!“Things won’t end like this either!“I’ll head straight to America after this! Even if I become a lackey for the financial groups—even if I turn my whole body into a machine, I will get stronger!“When that happens, I’ll come back for revenge!“I’ll kill every single person you hold dear before coming straight for you!“You’ll pay dearly for what happened today!“No matter how strong you are, you’re just one man. Can you guarantee your friends and family will be as strong as you?”Naturally, Takai believed that with Stefan Augustus, Rhodes, and Julie Augustus on his side…Harvey York would
“You can’t be doing this, Harvey!Julie Augustus was trying to protect the remainder of her pride as the Maiden.“My junior’s saying all these things to protect the country!“Your actions will cause dire consequences to the outskirts, maybe even the entire country!“How are you supposed to take responsibility?!“How can you even do that?!”“Take responsibility?Harvey York seemed calm.“The Island Nations have been at war with Country H.“They want this country to perish!“They were even planning to steal the sacred relics of our sects!“What’s wrong with me reclaiming them?“If someone like you from Kronen Temple can’t do anything…“Then sit there and recite your teachings like Aenar Temple!“Stop making a fool out of yourself!”Julie looked horrible.“We don’t need you to lecture us!“Besides, we believe in karma. It’d be the sects’ problem if Takai actually stole the beads! What does it have to do with you?“Did we ask for your help?“Did Aenar Temple even ask for
Stefan Augustus’ face instantly darkened after hearing Harvey York’s words.‘Why are you bringing me up, you bastard?!‘I’ll slap you to death if I have to!‘Julie, you bitch! How can you be this cowardly?!’“I’m sorry, Master York!” exclaimed Julie Augustus, gritting her teeth before Stefan was done insulting her.“Good.Harvey smiled before walking past Julie. He slowly set the three beads in front of the guest hall.After that, he casually wiped his hands with some tissue.“Mr. Stefan and everyone from Aenar Temple, the three Eyed Beads will be in your possession today.“I do hope that all of the outskirts will soon be able to admire the brilliance of these beads during the ceremony!”Then, Harvey turned around and left.Everything was set in stone!-Aenar Temple’s incident finally came to a close.So much blood was spilled, but the outskirts were not too shaken.Aenar Temple downplayed Harvey’s influence.It was as if he was never involved in the first place.Ever
“Now, you’re different than before. There are many things I’m not afraid of telling you,” said Harvey York while caressing his woman.“Evermore should be the most troublesome of all the forces interested in the Nine-Eyed Beads.“Other forces would at least show up publicly to get what they want.“But Evermore’s an ancient organization. You wouldn’t even know when they arrive.”Harvey sent some information over his phone to Mandy Zimmer.“At his point, Rhodes is done for. He’d only be cooped up in Kronen Temple for the rest of his life.“Are you in charge of the financial group now? Or is Colby the one calling the shots?”Mandy frowned.“Colby’s a direct descendant of the Wright family after all…”“Got it.Harvey gave a slight nod.“Since that’s the case, just let him enjoy the limelight.“If he needs to show up in person, let him do it instead.“Be as discreet as you can for now. It’d be better if everyone completely ignores you.“Judging from everything that’s been happe
The name of the villa district was called Violet District.It was the gathering place for the outskirts’ wealthy people, but they were only considered to be in the middle class.Compared to Eden Mountain’s villa area, this place was completely inferior.The people living here were all from the outskirts’ upper social circle, but they were only barely considered that way.Harvey York arrived at the district before finding the villa through his GPS application on the phone.Judith Pedler had been standing at the front door for the longest time. She quickly came forward with her face completely flushed after seeing Harvey’s arrival.“I thought you wouldn’t come.”Harvey let out a chuckle.“You invited me. Of course, I came.“Happy birthday.”Harvey casually pulled out a box.He naturally would not come empty-handed since it was Judith’s birthday.After what happened in Aenar Temple, Lennon Surrey gave him a small present.Harvey decided to give it away. He had not opened it u
Half an hour later, in a lounge in the Foster estate.Harvey held Vaida's wrist with his right hand. After some time, he said, "Geoffrey, what's wrong with her? When I met her on the plane, while she was on the brink of going berserk, she could still control it. But now, the energy cycle within her was chaotic, and an outsider's energy couldn't easily enter."It's as if she's been losing control for many years. What's going on here? And how can you lie to her saying that I'm the man of her destiny? If I became her obsession or even her inner demon, it wouldn't do her any good to her martial arts training," Harvey said as he could not help but let out a sigh.Regardless of what happened, Vaida still fought with him on the plane. Harvey could not ignore what happened to her because of that.Geoffrey sighed. "There's something you don't know. Not only is Vaida the daughter of the previous mayor of Grand City, but the Hierophant also prophesied her to be the reincarnation of Grand City
"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
