“My boss said he’ll give you twenty-four hours!“Apologize in all mainstream media of Country H!“You also have to pay three times the damages of Kendo Hall’s lack of business!”Caspian Lee showed a righteous look.“You can be resentful. You can be unhappy. You can curse at me if you dare…“It doesn’t matter at all.“As long as you fulfill those two conditions!“If you don’t, then you won’t be able to handle the consequences!”Tojo Nomura covered his face while glaring coldly.“You may not know the power of the person behind us…“But you have Neil’s support, don’t you?“Call him! Ask him if he dares to oppose the Toyotomi family!“Not just him…“Even the entire Osborne family has no choice but to be careful around the Toyotomi family!“After all, the family’s on par with the Heisei family, Fujihara family, and the Takahashi family—the four great families of the Island Nations!“Even if you do not know, you must’ve read history books before!“You should know that Hideyos
Caspian Lee looked fearless.“The outcome of the battle doesn’t matter!“The current situation means everything!“No matter how impressive you are, do you really think you have the right to go against the Toyotomi family and its resources?“Besides, my master has another terrifying identity!“In any case, you should know what’s good for you!“As long as you do as the papers tell you, I’ll put in a good word for you before my master!“The compensation isn’t a lot! Our projected profit is about six hundred million!“Three times that amount is 1.8 billion in losses!“Since we’re barely considered fellow citizens, I wanted to be a little generous!“As long as you apologize in front of the mainstream media and compensate 1.3 billion dollars, I’ll let you off the hook!Caspian crossed his legs again before sitting more dominantly.“No need to thank me.“I’ll give you a day to prepare for the mainstream media!“I’ll let you have ten days for the compensation!“Consider this my
Harvey York completely ignored Caspian Lee’s outburst when he patted the pieces off his hand and wiped them with a paper towel.“Come! Call the cops!“Not only did these people not go through with their end of the deal, they’re even trying to distort the truth and blackmail us!“It’s a tremendous amount of money as well! This is shocking!“I want the police to give me an explanation for this!”Kali Howell quickly called the police.After what had happened in the Kendo Hall the night before, Dutch and the others had already obtained a lot of evidence.They had no way to convict Caspian and the others for extortion…But making threats and trespassing would surely be enough to get them in trouble.Caspian and the group were not detained altogether but were fined seventy dollars for it.It was not a huge amount, but it was extremely embarrassing.At the same time, this meant that the outskirts’ police would not be biased towards the group of people just because they were foreign
Caspian Lee could not help but cheer at the marvelous sight.“As expected of you to be this impressive, Mr. Naruse!”The figure stood up, completely ignoring Caspian. When someone sent over a bowl of water, he washed his hands and patted them down with a towel before waving.An invincible aura seeped out, instantly turning the curtain to dust.With another light wave, he swiped the dust away before he sat on his couch.He sipped the tea his beautiful servant brought before glancing at Caspian.“You disappoint me, Caspian.”He spoke calmly, revealing he already had information about everything that happened.He looked like a higher being looking down on mere mortals, making people instinctively kneel at the sight.A traitor like Caspian was clearly no different.He immediately slammed his knees to the ground before he started groveling.“I couldn’t finish such a simple task, Mr. Naruse! I’ll bear any punishment!”Naruse Toyotomi played with his cup for a long while.“I gave
“For the Toyotomi family, pride is the most important thing.Naruse Toyotomi’s eyes lit up.“That’s why we won’t let that man off that easily.“I thought there were more important things for us to do in the outskirts.“It wasn’t worth the effort. There was no need to mobilize so many forces for something like this either…“But the family’s being disrespected right now!“It won’t do if we don’t act now!Naruse hit the tree beside him.“That said, it’s proven that the police look up to the kid since they enforced the law.”Caspian smirked.“I think I know what he did, Mr. Naruse.“He was trying to save Quincy.”“Quincy? The Osborne family’s lady?Naruse froze in place.“The woman who almost died after going berserk?”Caspian nodded.“I see. I get it now,” replied Naruse while nodding lightly.“On one hand, Neil wants to repay the favor for his daughter’s rescue. On the other hand, he thinks Harvey’s a skillful man who can be utilized.“That was why he did everything he
While Caspian Lee plotted revenge, Harvey York had already forgotten about the incident.Defeating a few Islanders was nothing to him.At this point, it was completely impossible for Tojo Nomura to get out of the situation unscathed.Of course, Caspian had not done anything to Harvey yet, but he would not mind repaying the favor if it came to that…Even if his hands would be dirtied because of this.He gave Layne Naiswell a call at the same time.The chief instructor came all the way to the outskirts because of Neil Osborne’s invitation. She rushed to Harvey as quickly as she could after getting the call.Behind her was Prince Gibson, who seemed utterly exhilarated, and Justin Walker, looking pale.The two were respectful in Harvey’s presence, but they were also prominent figures.Prince was the current person in charge of Heaven’s Gate, and Justin was the top vice branch leader of Longmen’s Mordu branch.The two could crush anyone in the outskirts with their identities alone
For someone in a position like Neil Osborne, he had already seen many young masters and princes of the top ten families and the five hidden families.He knew a lot of young and talented rich heirs who were fearless too.And yet, it was his first time seeing someone so easygoing as Harvey.If it had not been for him to discover Harvey’s identity, he would still have treated him like an ordinary young man.He naturally recognized Layne Naiswell and the others. He quickly sat down with them for a meal without holding back.Everyone was having a relaxing time at this moment.While they were happily chatting, a row of black Maybachs slowly drove into an alley.The cars were not fast, but an indescribable dominance could be felt. It was clear the people in the vehicles were extraordinary.The adults who planned to visit the Longmen Budokan stumbled out of the place instantly.After all, anyone could tell something big was about to happen.At this very moment, the commotion could be
“If you don’t want that, then get out of here already.“Stop embarrassing yourself.“You’re not welcome here.”Harvey York scrolled through his phone as he casually spoke. A lazy yet indescribable fierce aura could be felt coming from him at that moment.The beautiful women from the rear were cackling with their red lips covered.In their eyes, Harvey was a little too cocky.People who acted this arrogantly would usually end up with a horrible fate after all.‘Can’t this bastard tell?’‘Caspian’s the impressive one here!’‘What does it mean to make a strong comeback?’‘This does!’“Bold words, Harvey.“It’s a shame that you’re finished!Caspian Lee shook his head, looking as if he was the king of the world.“You keep causing me trouble…“You even locked up Mr. Tojo…“Do you even understand the price you’ll have to pay for all this?”“I think you said something similar when you came by previously.“I’m still standing here, though.“If you can even do anything to me, y
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
