“At the end of the day… You’re just scared of me fighting Tojo, right?”Harvey looked curiously at Caspian.“How about this? I won’t even fight him.“I’ll let him try and cut me three whole times. If he can even cut off a strand of my hair, I’ll let him win.“I’ll admit that the swordsmanship of the Island Nations is superior.“Not only would there not be a traumatizing scene, it wouldn’t betray Tojo’s Bushido Spirit. How does that sound?”Tojo’s gaze was filled with rage. Harvey was completely disrespecting him for saying such a thing.‘He’s just going to stand still and get himself cut? What does he think is going to happen?’Caspian froze, but then, his eyes lit up.“Are you serious? If Tojo does so much as to scratch you… You’ll admit defeat?”He chuckled coldly as soon as he saw Harvey nodding his head.He kept stopping Harvey from fighting Tojo because he was afraid of Tojo being defeated. But since Harvey would even make such an insane offer, it’d mean that Tojo could
Harvey smiled.“Don’t worry. This is just a warm-up before saving your daughter! When the event’s over, I’ll be able to focus on Quincy.”“Right! Since you’re that confident, I won’t stop you here.” Neil nodded.“It’s a deal, then! Everyone here is a witness!”The crowd cheered in joy; the children were especially excited. Everyone held their breaths, quietly waiting for the beginning and end of the fight.Caspian chuckled coldly, then whispered a few words into Tojo’s ear.Tojo went to the middle of the platform, placing his hand on his scabbard.“To show you respect, Tojo shall give you everything he’s got!”Caspian smiled.“Please! Let us see the outcome of the fight!”Harvey crossed his arms as he arrived at the platform.Swoosh!Tojo instantly pulled out his sword and swung forward without wasting any time. The blade instantly appeared right in front of Harvey’s face.The attack would be extremely destructive if it were to hit.However, Harvey only showed a faint smi
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!Under the crowd’s gaze, Harvey tapped the ground lightly with the tip of his toe as he suddenly sprang up.He looked as if he had lost all weight, allowing the breeze to sway his entire body.Tojo’s attack was extremely dense, but there was an order to the attack. The petals looked like they were attacking all at the same time, but that wasn’t the case at all.Harvey’s body swayed along with the constant change in Tojo’s petals, forming afterimages in the process.The children were instantly excited after seeing the sight.They believed Tojo’s swordsmanship was invincible… But the sight told them it was nothing more than mediocre.Neil and Andie were relieved; they weren’t worried about their daughter’s injuries any longer. They could tell that Harvey was an unfathomable man, judging from his strength and skill.Swoosh!Sweat started dripping down Tojo’s face when he was done with his final slash; he was showing a horrible expression when he saw the loo
Kroom!Eight separate tornadoes charged forward.Tojo Nomura was not pressured at all.His goal was not to kill his enemy, but to deal enough attacks to make a scratch!Even if he managed to cut just a single strand of hair, he would be victorious!Harvey York would never be able to defend against such a fierce attack!The crowd had a thought as they looked at the otherworldly sight.It would be difficult enough to survive such an attack…Let alone remain unscathed.‘Looks like this man’s destined to lose!”The worry on Caspian Lee’s face disappeared as he watched the sight with excitement. He was already thinking of the sight of Country H being completely disgraced.After returning to the Island Nations, he could, at the very least, be part of the royal family!He would become an upperclassman from then onward!While Caspian was busy daydreaming, Harvey suddenly stepped forward and stared at the tornadoes.“Fall.”An indescribable murderous intent exuded from Harvey.T
“Cough!”While everyone was shocked by Harvey York’s strength, Quincy Osborne suddenly coughed before slowly opening her eyes.“Father, Mother, where am I…?”Quincy was still weak, but she was clearly a lot better.“Quincy!”Neil Osborne and Andie Quinlan were shocked. They did not think Harvey could wake their daughter up that quickly.“It’s time.Harvey approached Quincy before slowly putting his hand on her wrist.“Follow my guide to transfer your energies.“I’ll combine them both for you.”Quincy froze. She did not understand why she would trust Harvey to this extent.She slowly closed her eyes before starting to move her energies.Soon, a faint white smoke could be seen on the surface of her skin.The energies going berserk in her body dissipated when she finally regained her calm.Neil and the others could tell that Quincy was returning to normal.Swoosh!Harvey poked his finger at the spot above Quincy’s crotch.“Aaagh!”Quincy’s body shuddered when she instinc
Neil Osborne seemed slightly disappointed after hearing Harvey York decline the offer. Quincy Osborne’s bright gaze also turned a little gloomy.“I can’t be your student, but can I at least ask for your advice in martial arts when I need it?” asked Quincy, clenching her fist.Harvey lightly nodded.“Of course.”“May I have your phone number? I’ll add you on Line too!”Quincy quickly asked for her phone from someone else.Harvey was utterly speechless after he left his number. He left the place after nodding at Neil, Dutch, and the others.He knew of Quincy’s intentions, but he never intended to get closer to her.After resting at the Longmen Budokan and having a few cups of tea, he told Kali Howell that she should consider accepting students and spreading the country’s martial arts before he left.The next day, in the afternoon, Harvey’s phone suddenly vibrated while he was having tea.He picked up the call when Kali spoke panickedly.“This is bad, Harvey!“We were just abo
Harvey York completely trampled on Tojo Nomura’s pride the previous night. He even ruined Kendo Hall’s startup and its plan to expand the Island Nations’ swordsmanship.Tojo had been holding in his anger since then.He would not care about a mere cup of tea because of this.He furiously waved his hand, swiping the tea set to the ground. Shards of porcelain were scattered all over the floor.The two beautiful women standing behind Tojo were smiling disdainfully.‘As expected of Islander men to be this fierce!‘The ones from Country H wouldn’t even dare act like this!‘More importantly, there are rumors of the Budokan completely disrespecting the Shinto Way…‘Such a big incident wouldn’t be resolved if he doesn’t take matters into his own hands!’Caspian let out a cold chuckle while looking at the sight.He had already reported the situation to his master after what happened last night.Not only was he not blamed for this, but the master even prepared his trump card, demanding
Tojo Nomura came to his senses after hearing Caspian Lee’s words.He coldly scoffed, ignoring the crowd and looking all high and mighty.“Did you hear what Caspian asked?!“Answer the damn question!“When is that bastard coming here?!“Us upperclassmen make thousands of dollars every single second!“If you keep wasting our time like this…“I’ll get everyone to raze the damn place! Do you understand me?!”It was clear that Tojo was desperately trying to reclaim his reputation after his embarrassment the night before.The bodyguards cracked their necks with wretched looks.They knew that this was the Longmen Budokan, but they did not care since the outskirts branch had always been extremely weak because of the rumored crippled branch leader.The sounds of a car engine were heard when a cab stopped outside.Soon after, Harvey exited the car.He showed a cold glare when he squinted at the mess before him.“You’re finally here!”Tojo rushed out before standing in Harvey’s way
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
