Many people sighed, their expressions odd.“That man’s quite close to the Surreys. He would’ve been here by now if he planned to come. He must’ve run away after hearing Salem coming to take his revenge!”“That title must be fake after all! How dare he get the rest of us to take responsibility after causing this much trouble?!”Ernie was filled with despair after hearing all the gossip.‘Did Harvey actually run away?’Salem crossed his arms, his face calm. As time passed, nobody spoke up, nor did anyone stand out.Conrad instinctively glared at Ernie, and moved his thumb across his neck.Ernie raised his head to the sky, a drop of tear in the corner of his eye. ‘Am I going to die here as well…?’Kyren chuckled bitterly; he was quite interested in Master York, since he had heard about the rumors as well.And yet…“Is Master York just a show-off after all?“Did he get that title just by flaunting his strength?“It’s only normal. Even I’m no match against that man.“Nobody her
Everyone was filled with disbelief, as if they were looking at an idiot…Meanwhile, Harvey slowly walked to the ring with his arms crossed. Everyone quickly stumbled out of the way; nobody dared to stand in his path. They didn’t know if he was insane or stupid to call himself “Master York.” However, nobody would stop him from his death anyway.Salem was prepared to kill a hundred people if he couldn’t face Master York. What a joyous thing to have someone step up as a scapegoat!Harvey ignored everyone as he stepped into the ring. He wasn’t showing off like the previous fighters. In everyone’s eyes, he was just an ordinary man who didn’t know anything.Kyren was a little excited; he thought Harvey had something up his sleeve to be talking this big…However, Harvey only walked up and was showing absolutely nothing.Enraged, Kyren laughed. He knew to clear his frustrations, since Harvey had done a lot for his daughter. He didn’t like Harvey, but he wouldn’t just send Harvey to hi
Salem crossed his arms, looking calmly at Harvey.He had a keen eye; he could instantly tell that the young man in front of him trained in martial arts. After all, could Harvey be this casual in front of him if that wasn’t the case?Even the consuls of the three great temples, who prided on their ability to connect themselves to a higher power, wouldn’t dare act this way.However, Salem still didn’t believe that Harvey was the one who defeated Creed and inadvertently caused his death.After all, Creed was still a King of Arms despite his shortcomings. A young man like Harvey simply wouldn’t be able to take out someone like that easily.“Forget it. You must be sent out here to test me. You people want to see if I’d actually dare kill someone! If you people want to see, then be my guest!”Salem’s eyes were filled with murderous intent as he glared at Harvey.The people from the high towers looked around them oddly. Conrad looked at Ernie, confused. Ernie was leaning on his chair
The place instantly got a lot colder; many were starting to shiver.Despite that, Harvey wasn’t phased by the murderous intent at all.“If you want to find the one who defeated Creed, then that’ll be me. If you want the one who took down Takai, then that’s still me. The one who made Stefan and Julie kneel is also me.”Harvey shrugged.“What? Still don’t believe me?”Everyone gasped after hearing Harvey’s confident words.“What? He’s Master York? How is that possible?!“Why is he talking about those achievements like it’s actually true? Ordinary people wouldn’t know about those things!”The people on the high towers froze; they didn’t know how to feel about Harvey’s words at all.Conrad recalled something. ‘That bastard! He was the one who sent me to jail after I went to the Surreys’ residence!’“Looks like you really want to die, huh?”Salem’s face darkened. It didn’t matter if Harvey was speaking the truth or not; he needed to kill Harvey immediately.“I do, but nobody’s b
“Since you’re telling me that you’re Master York… Then it doesn’t matter if it’s true or not!“For my master’s pride, and my brother’s revenge… I’d have to kill you no matter what!”Salem stomped on the ground, and his aura surged out. Nothing was happening in the eyes of ordinary people, but experts could tell that he was gathering all of his aura into his hand.At the same time, faint sparks could be seen traveling in between his fingers with a low hum.It was clear Salem was going all out.Harvey could die if the attack were to land.“What? Is that the legendary Electric Fist?!” Kyren was completely shocked.“Only a few people could achieve that since ancient times!“It’s said that after one takes in a lightning strike during a thunderstorm on top of a mountain, there is a chance to learn the move!“Salem managed that?!”“Is that…? Is that actually the Electric Fist?!” Raul was filled with disbelief.For martial artists, training one’s aura was a lot more important than
“What?! Even Raiden?!”Baylee was filled with shock.To show off their combat strength, America filmed a series of Hollywood movies for that. Raiden was one of the featured people in them.In that movie, Raiden was capable of achieving anything. He was probably not as good in reality, but his name was simply too influential!From this alone, it was enough to show just how terrifying Salem was.“This means…he’s finished?”Baylee covered her small mouth with a horrible expression.“Judging from Salem’s strength as a God of War, Harvey would never be able to go against him, even without the Electric Fist.”Raul sighed.“Harvey said Salem’s strength came from genetic enhancements… But martial arts is all about the end result, and not the process. Who would care how anyone got to this point?“The kid’s got moves…but he doesn’t realize that there will always be someone better. That’s how the world works, after all!”Raul, who was a skillful man, looked down on Harvey completely; h
‘One slap was enough to send an expert like Salem flying?!’Everyone’s jaws dropped; they couldn’t come to their senses at all. The people on the high towers looked thunderstruck. Ernie instinctively slapped himself in the face a few times to make sure he wasn’t dreaming.Who was Salem?He was an advanced God of War!Henrik’s top disciple, considered invincible in Chinatown! He managed to defeat the Northwest Demon with just a poke and a strike!And yet, he was sent flying by some ordinary man!Salem stumbled back up, a sluggish look on his face.No matter what, he was still a God of War. Despite that, he couldn’t hold himself against Harvey!This…This was unreal!This was simply insane!Salem felt a surge of sharp pain going through his body; he kept shivering, to the point he almost fell back on the ground.“You snuck up on him! You definitely snuck up on him!” Conrad exclaimed after coming to senses. “My senior is invincible! How could he lose like that?! Start again!
Harvey wasn’t fazed by Salem and Conrad’s denial at all.On one hand, he wanted to see the standards of America’s genetic enhancements. On the other hand, he didn’t mind wiping the floor with the two’s pride.Kyren frowned; he was impressed by Harvey’s performance, but he didn’t think Conrad and Salem’s words would bait him into fighting again.He couldn’t help but look down on Harvey ever so slightly.Harvey was a skillful man, but he was just an easily controlled young man.A bold thought came to Kyren’s mind when he looked at Harvey; something else was mixed in his shock as he looked into Harvey’s eye.Baylee wanted to say something when looking at Harvey, but she ended up keeping quiet.“These people are shameless! You’ve already won! There’s no need for you to fight them anymore!” Ernie yelled.However, Conrad truly thought that Salem only lost because of an accident. He took a deep breath before speaking up again.“No need to hold back, Salem! Give it your all!”Salem n
