Serval’s eyes twitched after hearing Dorian’s words.He planned to go all out, but after reminding himself of Dorian’s fearsome attacks, he forced himself to calm down by taking a deep breath.“Rumors said that twenty years ago, you were the second top talent of Longmen’s younger generation. Ordinary people are no match against you. This time, I admit defeat.“However, things won’t end this way!”Serval needed to talk big to quell his resentment.Swoosh!The sword shimmered in the air, and Serval’s body trembled. A scar appeared on his chest, and blood splattered everywhere. He coughed out more blood, stumbling back with a pale face.If he didn’t react to the attack quickly enough, he would’ve been dead!Serval didn’t dare provoke Dorian with his words anymore.He took a deep breath, wondering if he should get the Great Wall or his young master to take action…Anyone else wouldn’t be able to even scratch Dorian. He had been in hiding for twenty whole years; his strength was n
After Elaine was done beating up and scolding Serval…Serval spit out his blood before shifting his gaze towards Amos.“I was too weak, Young Master! I embarrassed the Smalt Sect! I’m sorry!“Not only did I keep failing, I lost the four Demon Monks as well! I even got the Eighteen Brazen hurt!“This is the biggest embarrassment to the sect in a thousand years! I’m willing to accept all punishment for this!“But I wasn’t just trying to survive! There’s something I should tell you!“Dorian was extremely respectful when he talked to Harvey. I suspect that Harvey must have some impressive identity!“We need to think twice before trying to assassinate or play tricks on him. Either we don’t do anything to him at all, or we make sure that he has no chance of retaliating.“As for Dorian, I’m afraid we’ll need a few Great Walls to take care of him. He’s too powerful.”“You want us to get the Great Walls?” Elaine exclaimed coldly.“Do you know what those people mean to the Smalt Sect?
“If word were to spread about this… Outside forces would consider us as weak. If that happens, then everyone would want a piece of the sect!”Thinking of Xyla’s situation and how the Smalt Sect being kept getting humiliated, Elaine’s pride was crushed.“The Smalt Sect naturally wouldn’t be scared of a man like Dorian…but there’s no need to give up on our thousand-year plan just for the sake of revenge.“You should understand the situation in the outskirts right now.“Even if we don’t talk about the Aenar Temple not siding with us, the Border Force, the top ten families, and the five hidden families… Harvey alone is enough to make our heads hurt.“If we can’t keep calm right now—if we’re still going to fight to the death because of this…“Dorian is nothing, but Longmen is standing behind him! Filth like Dorian is expendable. That was why we got Wesson to take action.“However, this made us realize that he’s been waiting for a chance to take revenge the entire time.“Longmen woul
Harvey didn’t know that Amos was making plans against him.After heading back to the No.1 villa, he looked curiously at Dorian in front of his seat. At the same time, he had a stack of documents about Dorian in his hand.The top talent of Longmen twenty years ago… Hiding and waiting for the longest time.Yet there was no information about Dorian’s swordsmanship, the thing that Harvey cared for the most.After casually flipping through the pages, Harvey handed Dorian a cup of tea with a smile. “You should be able to be the vice master of Longmen if you want to, Mr. Dorian. Why would you stay in a place like the outskirts?” he asked. “Young Master…” Dorian said after hesitating for a moment. “I stayed here because I knew Henrik would be back one day. I wasn’t able to deal with the traitor back then. I was soft. Now that he’s back, I must end the grudge myself.”Harvey froze.“Traitor? Can you start from the beginning? If I remember correctly, you and Henrik had a conflict becau
After a long moment of silence, Harvey finally spoke.“So you showed up today to sell me a favor… For me to spare Henrik?”Dorian’s body shivered, and he chuckled bitterly.“As expected of you, Young Master. It’s our first time seeing each other, but it doesn’t look like I can hide anything from you.“That’s right. After knowing who you are, I understood that Henrik’s comeback would be nothing but a joke.“However, he had his reasons for doing all this. I hope that you can give him a chance.”Harvey sighed.“I understand his pain…but no matter the case, betraying the country’s interests just simply isn’t allowed.“If he still respects the country when I see him, I’ll consider letting him go. But if he’s nothing but America’s lackey at that point…then he’s on his own.”Dorian’s expression kept changing for a moment. He held his arms together before walking to the balcony.Harvey didn’t say a word, and watched silently. He didn’t care about Henrik in the first place, but afte
“Young Master Amos,” he said casually. Harvey’s gaze was calm; he didn’t seem surprised by Amos’s appearance, nor did he show respect just because of the latter’s identity.“To be honest, it’s our first time seeing each other. My relationship with your sect isn’t exactly good, so just tell me what you want.“After all, it’s boring to beat around the bush for people like us… Don’t you think?”Amos smiled faintly. “How straightforward! As expected of you. I’m starting to regret not knowing you sooner.“It’s simple, really… I came to give you an explanation about last night.“Serval and the others caused you trouble, so I punished them and made them kneel in my courtyard.“This box is filled with the Smalt Sect’s treasures. It won’t be enough to compensate for what you went through, but it should be enough to show my sincerity.“I heard you’re well-versed in the art of killing. Not only are you good at killing, but you’re proficient at saving people as well.“I got hurt when I
“Is that so?”Harvey chuckled.“I heard the Nine Eyed Beads combined would grant everlasting life. I have the One and Nine Eyed-Bead. With the seven that you have, I’d have the full set.“I don’t have a lot of hobbies, but witnessing a miracle seems pretty nice.”Amos’s expression didn’t change; it seemed as if he had already foreseen the outcome.“Someone like you doesn’t believe in that, right?“If everlasting life is real, then why haven’t we seen anyone like that since the dawn of time? Even the founder of the Smalt Sect, the person who created the Nine Eyed Beads, passed away.“For the Smalt Sect, the Nine Eyed Beads are keepsakes.“Since you have two, then you should take good care of them. When you’re bored with them in the future, you’d be welcome to donate them!“As for things like everlasting life, it’s fine to just joke around with that…“But if you do actually believe in such a thing, you might get yourself fooled in the future! After all, even the strongest kings
“In the past, you could barely hold back the two energies since you weren’t a God of War yet.“But after you broke through, that changed. The two energies kept fighting, desperately trying to become one with your body.“Every time you try to suppress them, you’d waste a huge amount of stamina.“Despite your calm and impressive look… Once you lose control…”Harvey dropped his tea after that.The ground was immediately drenched, shards scattering all over. Amos’s eyes twitched after seeing that. “There’ll be a funeral for you.”Amos didn’t care about Harvey at first. With his background and history, he could crush someone like Harvey with ease.Yet, Harvey somehow revealed his biggest secret.He felt nothing but shock at this very moment.Even those closest to him didn’t know about this, but Harvey managed to see through it like it was nothing. Even his teacher from the Adenar Temple had no clue how to deal with the problem.Amos took a deep breath before smiling faintly. “
"Not to mention, these are weapons that Grand City's top brass directly controls. If it isn't because I've taken control over Earth Hall recently, I wouldn't have been able to take these out," Clarion said with a sigh.Harvey nodded. "Looks like letting you control Earth Hall is one of my correct decisions after coming to Grand City."Then, Harvey narrowed his eyes and looked ahead. "Clarion. Take your men and attack from the outer ring. Do your best to reach the destination and save our people."Clarion blinked. "And you?"Harvey said, "Always go for the head. A truly powerful elite must be keeping an eye on everything. If we don't eliminate him, our rescue will be destined to fail."Harvey slammed his foot on the ground before jumping into the air, his figure quickly disappearing into the horizon. He noticed that there were plenty of elites converging. This was Sky Plane's territory. No matter how many he killed, his enemies would most likely swarm him.If that was the case,
While Clarion and Harvey were talking, the Origin Sword Style elites were already slowly coming closer.600 feet. 300 feet. 150 feet!As they drew closer, everyone could see their murderous expression. Their firearms already had their safety off. One could also see there were no longer any gaps in their encirclement.With how things were going, the only two options for Harvey and his men were to either get killed or to simply surrender.As they drew closer, not only was Clarion sweating, but all his bodyguards also had cold sweat on their foreheads.Only Harvey wasn't doing anything. He simply narrowed his eyes as if he was quietly calculating something. When there were only 60 feet left, he suddenly said, "You have two seconds."Harvey suddenly slammed his foot on the ground.Boom!A powerful shockwave extended outward, and all the Origin Sword Style elites surrounding them were subconsciously stunned. The shield they were holding momentarily left the ground."Warsong! Fire
At Clarion's order, all his bodyguards immediately dragged out several black suitcases. Within were black holes with blue bullets. It was obvious these bullets were created to be used on Martial Arts elites. The damage they could deal was beyond anyone's imagination.The bodyguards stood in front of Harvey and Clarion with the suitcases, ready to fight their enemies to the bitter end.When the Origin Sword Style elites saw how Harvey and the others reacted, they took out a shield and placed it in front of them. It was obvious they were prepared.Or perhaps, it was easier to say that the Origin Sword Style elites already knew what they had prepared.Clarion's expression darkened. "How did these fools manage to guess we're here with the Warsongs?"Harvey narrowed his eyes. "Is there a possibility that they didn't make a guess, but instead already received news about how many people we brought and what kind of weapons, so they could make preparations for us?"Clarion was stunned. "W
Boom! Boom! Boom!There was a string of explosions in mid-air. The bolts had also been engulfed by the explosion. Even after Harvey had managed to negate the attacks, he didn't stop. He grabbed the rocks from the ground with his hand.Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!Several elites hidden in the shadows instantly lost their fighting skills."He really is a True Warrior," Clarion muttered when he saw what happened. He wasn't even sure what to say.He thought he should be able to put himself to some use this time, hence why he asked to come with Harvey. He didn't expect Harvey to be so powerful that he needed others at all.Very quickly, all the attackers gathered. It was obvious they knew they couldn't do anything to Harvey anymore."These people are from the Origin Sword Style!" Clarion said seriously after he looked at what the attackers were wearing. "They're quite troublesome. While they look like they're over-the-top, they're most likely sacrificial soldiers. But the problem is t
"Of course, if we can maintain absolute discretion, we can escape without alerting anyone once we find Ms. Mandy," Clarion said, remaining positive. "That way, we don't have to fight and draw the attention of those who hold power in Sky Plane."Harvey was sitting in the van. He frowned and looked at the buildings with clear Island Nation influence. "Since Daichi is blackmailing me using Mandy, that means they're confident we won't be able to take her away. I believe we'll have to fight with those from the Origin Sword Style today."Harvey gave it a thought for a while and said, "And don't you think that the information Vaida gave us is too accurate? As if someone left behind an opening for us."Clarion's eyes widened. "Don't tell me this is a trap just for us?"Harvey shook his head. "Not only for us, but also for Grand City. If we're really stuck here… It doesn't matter if we're killed or captured alive, we'll become the excuse for them to attack Grand City. This time, we must…"
Sky Plane's countryside, Clover Hotel.In the Clover Hotel's VIP area, a mansion at the edge of the hotel, Mandy was looking outside with a deep frown. At this time, someone gently knocked at her door from the outside."Come in," Mandy said.The leader of the security team, Seven Jean of the Jeans of Mordu, came in. He bowed to Mandy with respect before saying calmly, "Ms. Mandy, according to the information I've received, the women you've saved have been sent out of Sky Plane. I've also confirmed the people we came into conflict with. He's Yamamoto Sora, scion of the Origin Sword Style."The school's status is very high in Sky Plane. While we managed to get some protection for the time being, I believe we won't be able to make this disappear so quickly. Our visa only has an effective duration of seven days. Once the time is up, Sky Plane will have an excuse to remove all the security here. We'll be in danger when that happens."I think we should leave Sky Plane immediately whil
Mandy reacted very quickly, as if she understood something. She quickly said to Harvey through the phone, "I'm on the sixth floor of a hotel! I…"Before she could even finish, Daichi had already hung up the call with a tap. He then gave Harvey a meaningful look. "There are some rules you should keep, Mr. Harvey. Otherwise, if the people from Sky Plane's side have a misunderstanding, I can't tell what will happen next."Alright. Let's get into the main topic. Ms. Mandy is very safe right now, but I believe that her safety can only be maintained for two to three days. My men can't continue protecting her without a good reason, right? "Once it has been confirmed that there's nothing here that I want, my people who maintain her protection will be pulled back immediately. No one can tell what will happen after that."Daichi gave Harvey a dry smile. "That's why you'll be in control of Ms. Mandy's life and death. We are people who keep our side of the deals. We hope you can maintai
Harvey's expression was calm as he said coldly to Daichi, "No matter how good and logical you make it sound, the truth is, you're threatening me. Rather than being threatened by the Sky Plane, why don't you stick around and be my hostage for an exchange?"As soon as Harvey had finished saying that, he slammed his hand on the table. A piece of wood immediately fired out from the table and pierced into the chair's backrest, just next to Daichi's ear.However, Harvey was in for a surprise. Even in a situation like this, Daichi was still able to maintain his calmness as he continued to enjoy his meal. It was as if the one about to die here wasn't him.Once Daichi had chewed his food slowly and swallowed it, only then did he smile at Harvey. "Mr. Harvey, or Mr. Representative. Do you really think fighting can solve everything? It's true I'm from the branch family of the Ruling Royal Family and the blood of royalty flows in my veins, but there are too many like me. So many that I am eas
"Most importantly, this matter with Ms. Mandy happened in Sky Plane—which means outsiders can't enter quietly and save her," Daichi said to Harvey with a smile. "But don't worry, Harvey. We know Ms. Mandy is yours, so we'll find a way to keep protecting her. How to protect her and for how long would depend on your sincerity, though."Harvey's expression was cold as he said slowly, "And here I thought you'd tell me you'd do everything to protect Mandy, making a show despite how shameless you are. I didn't expect you to be so direct—in threatening me! If I refuse your request, Mandy will immediately fall into Sora's hand, right?"Daichi smiled faintly. "You're indeed a perceptive and decisive man. It makes things easier for me to work with someone like you. I will tell you what you need to do—or perhaps, it's easier for me to say what price you need to pay for Mandy's return."Daichi took a final bite of his fish and said with a smug smile, "It's simple. Give me the Chapter of Ascensi
