“You don’t have a say in that matter! If you don’t give an explanation for this, then we’ll just have to fight it out right now!” Stefan yelled.“Is that so?”Naruse chuckled.“You want to fight me?“With what?“The few experts behind you?“The luck that got you to survive by the skin of your teeth?”Naruse let out a sigh and stood up, tapping Stefan on his face.“You think I don’t know?“You managed to survive only because Harvey got himself involved and saved you.“Do you think you can get your explanation with just a group of people?“How naive!“Even if I kill you right here, nothing can happen to me!“I belong to the Toyotomi family! I’m the spokesperson of the Shinto Way in Country H!“In any case, your laws won’t hold me even if I take you out. At most, I’d be exiled!”Stefan showed a gloomy expression. “You might be shooting yourself in the foot here, Naruse.”“I know that.”Naruse sighed.“But you don’t even have the right for me to do that!”Naruse made a g
Stefan showed a horrible expression as he looked at the sight in front of him; his sharp brows were deeply furrowed, as if there was unbridled fury gathered in between them.Naruse showed a playful expression after seeing the look on Stefan’s face.“What? Did my words agitate you?“Are you angry?“Not only did you hit my woman, but you’re planning to hit me as well?“Come! Come! Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance!”Naruse leaned in toward Stefan.“Either you kneel right now… Or you slap me in the face already!“Make your choice! It’s way past three seconds!”Harvey showed a cold expression; safe to say, Naruse was extremely conceited.‘What kind of place does he think Country H is?’That said, Harvey wasn’t in a rush to take action; he wanted to see just what Stefan would do then.He hoped Stefan would grow faster through the situation. After all, it’d be better for Stefan to take control of the outskirts since he couldn’t stay here for long.Stefan’s eyes twitched when
Bam!The door was kicked open.Dozens of monks rushed in, with Aryan leading the group.A terrifying aura seeped out of him as he said fiercely, “Which one of your bastards hit the consul? Do you want to die?”The monks were holding repeating crossbows, their expressions cold; they instantly pointed the crossbows at the killers on the second floor, ready to take action at any moment.At the same time, eight monks next to Aryan quickly went to stand in front of Stefan.Their expressions turned horrible when they saw their consul with a swollen face.“Consul! Are you alright?!“Great Wall Vaati already gave the order!“All of the Aenar Temple’s forces can be mobilized!“We’ll be able to take action against anyone who goes against you!”Aryan looked respectfully at Stefan.Naturally, it was already a huge problem that even Vaati was showing his support.No matter the case, Aryan was still a loyal subordinate of the Aenar Temple; he’d naturally take the chance to perform in fr
Milan showed a disdainful glare after seeing Aryan’s look on his face; in her eyes, he seemed like nothing but a stray dog.She rejoiced that the man she loved came from a different country.‘These men from Country H are such filth!’Aryan kept changing his expression before finally looking at Stefan. After seeing Stefan’s cold expression, he quickly took a deep breath before speaking up again.“Ms. Milan, right?“I don’t care what happened here, nor who’s in the wrong!“Someone needs to pay for my consul’s suffering!“Besides…”Bam!Before Aryan was done speaking, Naruse picked up the ashtray from the table and threw it forward.The ashtray smashed right into Aryan’s head, causing him to bleed profusely. He stumbled around after being caught off guard, almost falling to the ground.He was showing a wretched expression.“How dare you do that, you bastard?!” Aryan was furious. “Do you think the Aenar Temple’s an easy target?!”The monks were showing fierce glares after hear
“What? “You won’t do anything now? Is it because of my pure strength?”Naruse tapped Stefan’s face.“You really embarrassed your entire country, didn’t you?”Aryan gritted his teeth.“You bastard! You think you can just scare us off like that?!“You’re just a God of War! The Aenar Temple has that, too!“We’ll make sure we get the explanation we want!”“Explanation?”Naruse sighed, showing a playful gaze.“In the martial arts world, power means everything!”Naruse took another step forward.Bam!A more horrifying aura seeped out, charging at its targets.Stefan, Aryan, and the people behind them all stumbled around before coughing out blood.Nobody could defend themselves against this level of martial arts. Law, background, authority, and reason held no meaning at this very moment.“Since I already did my part, you should just carry out the rest, Young Master.”Naruse tilted his head, glancing at Amos.“This guy has no right to challenge you!“How about this? As long
“You’re right. Times have changed.”Harvey suddenly spoke up in the middle of the crowd. An unspeakable aura quickly seeped out.Compared to Naruse’s cold aura, his was filled with nothing but gentleness—like sunshine. However, the aura was more than enough to completely suppress Naruse.Slap!Before Naruse even came to his senses, he was already slapped in the face.“Aaagh!”Naruse, who had the place under control with his immense strength, was instantly sent flying as his body shivered. He slammed into a wall, leaving massive cracks, before he slowly slid down.Seeing that, everyone looked completely sluggish.Amos froze as well. Even Milan had lost her cool immediately.Nobody thought that someone would turn the tables this quickly.“Who are you?!”Naruse stumbled off the ground, gritting his teeth. He knew just how powerful Harvey was. That was why he was filled with nothing but fear.Not only did Harvey send him flying with a single slap, his aura was immediately seale
“Harvey!”Naruse gritted his teeth with a fierce expression.“No member of the Toyotomi family would ever kneel! You want me to? Over my dead body!”“You want to die so badly?” Harvey nodded. “I’ll help you with that, then.”Harvey casually grabbed a firearm from one of the security guards and took off the safety, then threw it in front of Naruse.“Now, you have three choices.“Either you shoot yourself and show me just how proud you are… Or you kneel and apologize.“Of course, you can try shooting me as well. I suggest you don’t try that, though. You’ll end up horribly if you do.”Harvey smiled faintly as Naruse kept getting agitated by his words.Naruse was already at his wit’s end after his aura was completely sealed… His eyes kept twitching, not knowing what to do at that very moment.After taking a deep breath, he mustered the last bit of his courage to point the firearm at Harvey’s head. Despite that, he didn’t pull the trigger at all.“You chose the worst one after al
After a long while, the light in Naruse’s eyes darkened and he finally calmed down.It was naturally humiliating not having the courage to pull the trigger…but if he did, he wouldn’t have the means to handle the consequences.Harvey had him completely suppressed!“You’re strong! Really strong!” he said after sighing.“I admire you! I admit that I can’t do anything to you, either! I apologize! Not just for what happened today, but also Stefan’s assassination! I’m sorry!”The crowd felt immediately sluggish after hearing Naruse’s words.‘Is he actually giving up…?’“That’s not enough.”Harvey smiled at Naruse. “You should have more sincerity in your apology. There’s simply no weight in your words right now. You get me, don’t you?”Naruse gritted his teeth. “You better know what’s good for yourself, Harvey! It won’t end well for you if you don’t!”Bang!Harvey was playing with another firearm in his hand, then pulled the trigger. The scorching bullet flew right past Naruse’s
