“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
Kyren, who still had other thoughts in his mind, couldn’t stop his eyes and mouth from twitching.He suddenly understood. It wasn’t that Harvey was arrogant; Salem was just incomparable to him, no matter what!A cold shiver ran down Salem’s spine.‘How? How is that even possible?! Salem did everything he could! He even struck first! And yet, he lost so easily! That’s just…’“Oh! I’m sorry! I snuck up on you again!” Harvey seemed a little embarrassed. “Come on! Let’s redo the fight. It doesn’t count!”The people were completely shocked. They had never seen someone fight this way before.After all, those words meant completely different things since they came out of Harvey’s mouth!It wasn’t that Harvey wanted to rob Salem of any chance of coming back… He was just going easy on Salem!Conrad felt nothing but resentment towards an unreasonable man like Harvey.“Everyone! You all saw me sneaking up on Salem just now. For fairness’ sake, I’ve decided to fight him again.“After all
“You’ve sacrificed too much for Master Henrik’s sake, Salem!” Conrad said, excited.At the same time, he turned to Harvey and dragged his thumb across his neck, convinced Harvey was dead for sure.“Come on, then,” Harvey said calmly.Salem moved his body, and instantly appeared in front of Harvey with ease.It was the calmness of his movements that was extremely terrifying. In everyone’s eyes, Salem’s body didn’t seem like it existed at all.He threw a punch right at Harvey; the attack immediately shook the world. He waved his other hand, and a firearm slid out. At the same time, he pulled the trigger.It was hard to believe that an expert like Salem would be this shameless. It was already bad enough that he needed drugs to get to this state, but he even pulled the trigger in a battle of life and death.Everyone felt a cold shiver run down their spine after seeing this, and thought Harvey was destined to suffer a horrible death.Baylee sprang out of her chair. “Look out!”“Mas
After glancing at Salem paralyzed on the ground, Harvey crossed his arms and glanced around him.“Does anyone else want to go against me?”Everyone looked at each other; other than shock, only an unspeakable sense of fear could be seen in their eyes. Nobody would dare stand out.Billie’s heart pounded rapidly; she had already admired Harvey, but she didn’t think that his achievements would be way beyond her wildest imagination.Whitley’s jaw dropped; she started to regret not instantly kneeling in front of Harvey as soon as they met.Conrad’s body went limp; his heart was filled with nothing but despair and resentment.‘He’s dead! Salem’s dead—just like that! He even used everything he could! Even if Henrik actually came, who knows if Harvey can be taken down?’Samir’s expression was one mixed with regret and admiration; he finally understood why Lennon respected Harvey so much.Ernie raised his chest, a prideful look on his face. The Surrey family was extremely proud as well
The place was dead silent.The prominent figures around didn’t want to admit it, but Harvey had won the entire competition. From then onward, he’d have total control over the outskirts!Kyren let out a long sigh before stumbling off his seat.“You have my respect for what you did today, Master York! From now on, I won’t stop you from getting close to my daughter!”Harvey smiled faintly. “Judith and I are just classmates. Don’t think too much about it. For her sake, I’ll let you off the hook as long as you give me an explanation that I’m happy with.”Kyren instinctively shivered; he locked eyes with Harvey with a profound gaze, while his mouth twitched.“From now on, my troops and I will leave Country H. We will not be involved with anything in the outskirts, either.”“Not enough,” Harvey said. Kyren gritted his teeth. “I will order the Siberian Border Force not to cause conflict with Country H.”“Not enough.”Kyren looked at Harvey for a long time, before letting out a huge
"Bro! Big bro! I finally got it now! You're Harvey York, the guy who stole Dan's spot of becoming representative! To be able to become a lackey of someone like you… Oh, this is such a glorious day for me and my family!" Alexei said excitedly."Big bro, since this is your first time here, you're not familiar with Grand City, right? Let's see… Let me personally take you to the Golden Road! I have a car, so it'll definitely be faster than you travelling on foot, right?"Alexei had already swiftly got into his Range Rover. After starting the car, he performed a handsome drift and stopped right in front of Harvey. Harvey hesitated a little but still got into the car.Since… He really didn't know Grand City well. By the time he arrived, it might already be too late.As he got into the car, Harvey checked the texts in his phone. There should be a livestream from Geoffrey's people who were on the ground. The Dragon Gate training hall had always been quite discreet. While they had put up
After hearing that, Harvey was stunned. The corner of his eyes twitched. He didn't expect that Alexei would be so idiotic.One shouldn't say such words without running them through their mind first!When Alexei saw that Harvey didn't react, he continued. "What? Do you think my Senior Vaida is not pretty enough? Too aggressive? It's fine, there are plenty of clubs in Grand City too! I can always take you to the clubs to check on the pretty ones to make you understand what it means to have paradise on Earth! No matter what happens, you're my big bro now! You'll be my big bro forever! You have to protect me from now on!" As he said that, Alexei even wanted to drag Harvey to get their relationship certified.Harvey blinked. He really had no idea how to deal with someone like this. But with Alexei close by, Harvey believed that Alexei could able to help with his objective here. Currently, Grand City is like a body of still water. No matter how much things were bubbling underneath t
After saying all that, Vaida turned and left. Harvey understood that Vaida probably had some clues about this, but she needed to do her investigation.Harvey didn't know how to feel when he saw Vaida was back to normal. Other than mistaking him for her man of destiny, Vaida was acting like a normal person.Once Vaida's figure had completely disappeared, Alexei turned around and looked at Harvey for a while, his expression still dark. He snorted and said, "Don't take this the wrong way and think you're my big bro now, Harvey. It's true you saved me, but you still deserve to die for putting Senior Vaida in your crosshair! I'm someone who compartmentalizes these things. I'll repay you for saving me, but I'll snuff out your desire as well."Harvey smiled and said calmly, "Don't worry. I won't stay in Grand City for long.""Really?" Alexei said happily, but then he quickly spoke in a huffy manner. "If that's the case, you're my guest! No matter where you want to go, or what you want t
When Vaida saw that she managed to scare Alexei, she sighed. However, there was pity in her eyes. After a moment, she still coldly said, "Remember. From now on, Harvey is your big bro. From now on, you'll have to listen to everything he says in Grand City, okay? If you won't, I'll immediately kick you out. Understand?"Harvey didn't sense any maliciousness in Vaida's words. Instead, he could sense how frustrated and disappointed she was from her tone. If it wasn't because Alexei was being so useless, Vaida wouldn't be in the situation she was in right now.But… Harvey didn't hate Alexei's character. From a certain angle, he liked Alexei."Understood, Senior Vaida. I'll listen to you," Alexei said in a defeated tone. He even looked deflated physically, as if he was sighing.Looking at how pitiful Alexei was, Harvey couldn't stop himself from smiling. He took a step forward, saying, "Vaida, I was a little harsh on him just now, so it's not his fault. But both he and I got to know e
Harvey realized why Dan was the best choice to succeed the previous mayor. Vaida was schizophrenic, and then his oldest disciple was…this.Who else can the Belladonna Cult depend on other than Dan?"Senior Vaida! Where are you? We haven't met for so long, but you brought a man home just like this! He's bullying me! This Harvey is bullying me!" Alexei screamed. His next step was probably going to be rolling on the ground."I have enough! I don't want to live anymore! It's either he's gone, or I'm gone! It's either he dies, or I die! You have to know who has a closer relationship with you! Don't become an enemy to your dear junior just because of a pretty boy!" Alexei's face was full of tears and mucus. No matter how Harvey looked at him, Harvey felt like he didn't have much intelligence at all.Harvey's eye twitched. Whether it was an arrogant scion or a haughty young master, he could simply slap the man to the ground and kick him to the curb. But… What was he supposed to do w
Harvey was stunned. What was going on? The childhood friend was out here too? Harvey stared intently at the man with the machete, who looked around 23 or 24. He was at least around 200 pounds, and he looked like an explosive keg. While he held a machete, his face was a strange, pallid color.With just one look, Harvey was sure that had severe internal injuries and didn't manage to recover. Harvey glanced at the Beads of Eye he was carrying on his chest, finding it strange."Come out, Harvey! Face me if you're a man!" roared the man, looking like he was going to explode at any time. The moment he saw Harvey, who was on his way to go on a walk, he instantly stormed forward and raised his machete.He roared at Harvey, "You're that idiot Harvey, right? Tell me, how did you lie to Vaida? She's my goddess! You can't just get close to her whenever you want!"Harvey looked at him curiously. "Why don't you tell me who you are?""Who am I?" The angry man waved his machete. "I'm the olde
Harvey could not stop rolling his eyes as he could feel his head throbbing again, but he still suppressed what he was feeling. "Thanks, but I don't like anything too greasy in the morning. I prefer vegetarian if possible. You can put the deep-fried hoppers aside. I'll reheat it in the afternoon."Vaida blinked her beautiful eyes. After some hesitation, she said, "I see. We'll set it aside for now, then. This is a local delicacy in Grand City. You can't even buy this with money.""Thanks; I appreciate it," replied Harvey, feeling the pressure. He had no choice but to get himself a bowl of oats with milk and slowly eat it. Harvey was worried Vaida might add something special to the oats or milk, but after eating, he realized there was nothing weird in it. It was just delicious.If food also had realms, while this was not at the level of a True Warrior, it was definitely at the level of a King of Arms. That was something that Harvey found surprising."Right, Harvey. I heard you become
"Oh, right," Geoffrey remembered something else. "While Harvey was the representative of the Country H Martial Arts Alliance, his identity isn't accepted by the seven families of Grand City. In other words, he has no support in Grand City at all. Even if everyone recognized that he is indeed your man of destiny, it's difficult for him to become mayor. Grand City is no longer the same city as it was a decade ago."Vaida frowned and said, "Getting Harvey to garner support in Grand City is not difficult. Find a way to make him the leader of the Belladonna Cult. Before making him the mayor, we can make him the cult leader first."That way, not only can we make it easier for Harvey, but we can also disgust the hell out of Dan. He's been obsessed with taking over the cult, right? Does he really think he can become mayor after becoming the leader of two of the seven families? He's dreaming!"Geoffrey was speechless. "Things aren't as easy as you think. If you simply give the cult to Harvey
"Not to mention, during the decade that the ex-mayor had disappeared, the entire Grand City had lost their respect toward him and the Belladonna Cult. Even you have become someone who only existed in the fringe. While Grand City looks like it didn't have a singular leader, the Hierophant's prophecy was guiding everything."That’s why we must be patient. On the one hand, we needed to make Harvey accept all of this. On the other hand, we have to rebuild a solid foundation as we advance. We will make the entirety of Grand City understand that the Belladonna Cult is still the same cult that rules over all! Only then can we obtain everything he has left for us."Then, Geoffrey cleared his throat. "Even I can wait for so long. I believe you'll be fine, correct?"Vaida gave it a thought, but she still hesitated. It was good for her that someone like Harvey, who fit the prophecy, appeared. But the problem was… This was supposed to be done slowly. Trouble was brewing underneath Grand City. H
