Harvey York was alone in the Country H Martial Arts Alliance.How could he go head-to-head against Caelum Hughes? One of the Four Kings of the Alliance?Was he asking for a death wish?No matter what, everyone who did not have much hope for Harvey could only remain shocked at what he did.All the martial arts elites standing next to Caelum squinted their eyes.Only two kinds of people dared to go against someone like Caelum.Either he was a fool…Or he truly was a capable man.And Harvey did not look like a fool.Caelum took a deep breath and stared at Harvey, curious.Unlike last time, he came prepared.He had even spoken to the Country H Martial Arts Alliance's enforcers beforehand.That was why they had arranged a meeting this time.And this time, Caelum was going to make Harvey choose to give up on his role as representative on his own.That was why Tanner Hughes tested him just now.But even Caelum did not expect his arrangements and plans to make things happen like
As per Caelum Hughes' orders, everyone behind him all spread out.A man wearing a robe with a Longmen insignia suddenly appeared together with four men who wore the same robes.Everyone looked at each other strangely when they saw the people from Longmen come.Out of the four pillars, Longmen was not the strongest.However, their connection with the underworld was the closest.The Martial Arts Alliance was just a loose organization.But Longmen was completely different.Due to their influence and duty, they had the power to interfere with everything that happened there.Despite the difference between the world of martial arts and the underworld, Longmen had power over both.That was why, while many from the Alliance could not care less about the detectives and policemen from the station, they were wary of those from Longmen."What are you doing?"Don't you know that our country is a lawful country?"Despite being someone who practices martial arts, the negative effect you b
The intimidating bald man felt his knees go weak. He immediately fell on his knees without any hesitation, with a thud.While he was only an unimportant leader in the Longmen Wolsing branch, as a member of Longmen, he knew well about his superiors.The moment he saw Harvey York's face clearly, the bald man was immediately stunned.His heart was filled with terror.Out of all the people he intimidated…And he met the one he should not, no matter what!He was Longmen's young master. In Longmen, he completely crushed all thirty-six branches and crushed all eight inner and outer halls. He only answered to one person in Longmen, and everyone else only answered to him.Harvey York!At that moment, the bald man did not even dare to look at Harvey directly in the eyes. He did not even dare to stand up and simply waved his hand to stop his subordinates as sweat started appearing on his forehead. Then, he said to Caelum with a dry voice, "I'm so sorry, Mr. Hughes. But this is far beyond
"Longmen is one of the four pillars of Country H. They are truly formidable."But the Hummingbar training ground has existed for millennia. The power we possess far exceeds what you can imagine."Caelum Hughes was also at a point where it was difficult for him to give up. At the same time, he did not want to surrender just like that. He had no choice but to make a cold smile."Alright! Get him!"As Caelum gave out his order, the elites behind Caelum had no choice but to advance with an icy smile despite their hesitation.Harvey York squinted his eyes. Just when he was going to attack, a wooden door in the hall swung open."Enough!"Caelum, the one you face is the representative of our country's Martial Arts Alliance."No matter if his power is fake or genuine, you must show him respect as long as he's in that position."Showing him disrespect is the same as showing the Country H Martial Arts Alliance disrespect. You understand something this simple, don't you?"An old man hol
Charlotte Padget said nothing. But sometimes, one's silence could tell more than a thousand words.There was a hint of pity in the way she looked at Harvey York.He was the representative of the country's Martial Arts Alliance. He had contributed a lot.But because he did not know how to form alliances, he ended up in a place where he became everyone's enemy.She felt nothing but pity for Harvey.Harvey seemed blind to what Charlotte was feeling and simply walked away with his hands behind his back."Charlotte, you believe that this will be the end of me, right?"Unfortunately, if I'm so easily done for or if I'm so easily defeated…"Then, I wouldn't have become the Alliance's representative."I wouldn't be able to help the Alliance become one of the five directors in the World Martial Arts Alliance."All of you can't see the forest for the trees."However, Charlotte was getting a little upset from hearing that. "I know you had contributed a lot, Mr. Representative."But do
The Songstress's Stage inner hall was elegantly decorated with paintings hung on the walls.The furniture was all made from Rosewood from the South, and its engravings and carvings gave it a classy and sophisticated style.Despite having the typical classical look, it was surprisingly full of creativity.At this time, the chairs on the two sides of the halls were already full of people.Gaspar Lee was sitting on the first seat to the left. Opposite to him was Caelum Hughes, who was wearing a subtle smile on his face.The other seats were all taken by someone else. All of them wore the same kind of expressions. Sanctimonious and holier-than-thou. All of them were looking at Harvey York with a derisive look.Obviously, they did not leave a space for Harvey at all after they came in. They were planning to put Harvey in his place.So, what if he was the representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance?He had nowhere even to sit when he was in their territory.He was nothing!"B
What Gaspar Lee was doing right now was scolding Caelum Hughes using his senior position.However, when he was scolding Caelum, the words he used were incredibly bizarre. It was as if he was very upset with Harvey York.All the cocky and prideful youths squinted their eyes as they looked at Harvey when they heard what Gaspar had to say.They had heard about Harvey and what he did and knew what was happening outside.However, all these youths who were called the ten youthful prodigies from all the different training grounds still hold the same presumptuous opinions.They believed only those from the Sacred Martial Art Training Ground were true prodigies.Someone like Harvey, who came from nowhere, could not even hope to be compared with the rest of them, whether from their origins or talents.Even Caelum, who was at a disadvantage just now, looked at Harvey from the corner of his eyes and said, "You're right, of course. While I'm the scion of the Hummingbar training ground and on
When Caelum Hughes heard what Charlotte Padget had to say, he had also calmed down. He gave Harvey York a look before saying, "Elder Lee, Ms. Charlotte is right. We have something important to discuss, so we ask the honorable representative to be here today."However, the representative simply wants to ruin this meeting by stirring up trouble. We cannot give him the chance to leave."When Gaspar Lee heard what Caelum was saying, he had also calmed down. Even then, he still gave Harvey a cold look and said, "You should remember to show respect to your elders and take care of the young ones even when you've had some achievements. I am already commanding great respect in the Underworld while you're still a boy playing with your toys."Then, Harvey said, "That sounds so impressive. Why don't you command those respects right now? You think you're so high and mighty when you're just a tool used by others despite your age. And you were pleased about that?""You…" Gaspar, who only managed
"What are you doing? Why didn't you crawl and go on your knees when you saw your master return, and you keep on screaming when the Xavier family of Wolsing is just a vassal of Country A Xavier Inc!"Didn't that old man Nashon ever teach you what to do? Your attitude makes Country A Xavier Inc. very sad! Even a dog I raise won't bite me, but all you do is keep barking!" reprimanded Linus as he kept shaking his head as if he had got the wrong dog.But the most important part was that such words were aimed at the Xaviers of Wolsing, one of the top ten families of Country H. While shocking, it also showed just how domineering Country A Xavier Inc. is.Nashon's expression also instantly turned dark.But before he could say anything, Yvonne snorted and said, " Country A Xavier Inc? They're just one branch of our family who betrayed our family. They're just a conglomerate that managed to expand their business after running away into Country A! And now you dare to come here to treat the pl
Vroom!Just as Harvey and the others were almost finished and were about to move on to tea and desserts, the sounds of engines roaring suddenly came from the side door where they were having lunch.At the same time, there were also the sounds of the Xavier family's security guards calling and yelling.But for some reason, the usually stubborn security guards could not stop the engine sounds from getting closer. Very quickly, twelve Black Badge Rolls-Royce drove over and stopped right at the entrance of the side chamber with arrogance.All the artificial hills, flowers, and grass were in a mess.Thump! Thump! Thump!Instantly, dozens of men in military uniforms opened the door and exited from their cars. Their eyes were full of spirit and full of vitality. It was obvious that they were all martial arts elites. Other than that, there were also dozens of elite men and women wearing suits and leather shoes.Then, two sexy secretaries walked over to the car's back seat and opened the
"Harvey's here," Nashon smiled when he saw Harvey arrive. His smile was even brighter than usual when he knew Harvey had agreed to sign the contract.Obviously, Nashon was getting increasingly happy with this man who might become his family's son-in-law in the future."Come, let me introduce someone to you. Behind Yvonne is my granddaughter and Yvonne's cousin, Sia Xavier."Meanwhile, Harvey gave Sia a strange look. She was a young woman who was of 18-years-of-age. She had just matured, and an innocent aura surrounded her. Her plump face and her hourglass figure made her have both innocence and lust.If she were to download a particular streaming app and start streaming, she would instantly get tens of millions of fans very quickly."Come, this is Harvey." Obviously, Yvonne also doted on her cousin.Sia's eyes landed on Harvey briefly, and she weakly greeted, "Brother-in-law…"When Yvonne heard that, her face turned red, and Harvey's expression instantly froze as he almost fell
Harvey sighed. "I thought so too; that's why I gathered everyone here. Why don't all of you give it a look and see what we should do? Should we sign the contract?"Harvey said in a helpless tone. "The old man also said that I don't have to worry. This is not part of Yvonne's assets if she marries over… That the Xavier family wouldn't be such a cheapskate…"The atmosphere became even more awkward. Everyone knew that Yvonne only had her eyes on Harvey, but Harvey's attitude was unclear. After receiving this 10% share, Sky Corporation will be completely bonded with Xavier Corporation.Perhaps Nashon also wanted to use this chance to improve Harvey and Yvonne's relationship a little more.Tyson grinned and said, "Boss, seeing that Yvonne treats you that well, why don't you just marry into the Xavier family and become their live-in son-in-law? That's one of the top ten families in Country H, and if Sky Corporation works with them, we might have a fighting chance even if we're going agai
"Then, it has been decided," Nashon replied and waved his hand, stopping whatever Yvonne wanted to say. "You can treat this as compensation, or you can treat this as us adding more duties to you. Regardless, from now onward, the only person who has authority over you within this family is me. "Even your cousin Jesse will be under your command when necessary. If there are no accidents, then you'll be the next matriarch of the Xavier family."Nashon then smiled at Harvey and said, "Harvey, I have a suggestion. Since we're on this topic, I wonder if you'd consider it. We, the Xaviers of Wolsing, lack a live-in son-in-law. If you're willing to, it's fine even if the patriarch of the Xavier family uses the last name York, right?"Harvey was speechless. The old man would do everything to drag him down into the mud!"So, are you happy with my explanation?" Nashon gave Harvey a meaningful smile and an even more meaningful look. Obviously, if Harvey nodded, wealth beyond his imagination wo
"As for using Sheldon to force Yvonne, now you must understand that all this is just a scheme. No matter how far our family has fallen, we don't have to explain our scheme to outsiders, correct?' Nashon smiled faintly. While his words were quite soft, Harvey's inquisition of him was useless.Harvey narrowed his eyes. While he had always known the old man would be quite a handful, he did not realize he would be so hard to deal with. Nashon laughed and waved his hand when he noticed the slight change in Harvey's expression.Shortly after, a maid walked over with an ancient wine flask, next to sleek wine glasses.Nashon picked up the flask, poured the two glasses full, and winked at Harvey. "Come, Harvey. Why don't we taste this Spirit Wine that I frequently obtained from an auction recently?""Spirit Wine?"Harvey frowned and narrowed his eyes. He could sense that the wine was not some ordinary wine, but he did not know why Nashon suddenly wanted to bring this thing out.When Nasho
"I don't think so. You never underestimated me," replied Harvey, with conviction. "Meanwhile, I did underestimate the Xavier family's ambition. You used my hand to destroy the Shinto Way's foundation so you could take everything they owned within our country. Aren't you afraid you'll get too full if you eat everything in one go?"Jesse, who had not said anything until now, narrowed his eyes as he heard what Harvey had to say. He did not expect Harvey to have already figured everything out alone.Meanwhile, there was little to no change in Nashon's expression. He simply smiled and said, "Don't worry about us. While we have used you, but you can't blame us since Yvonne is our scheme's most important piece. To us, all she needed to do was to act as bait. As for who were the ones coming for the bait… That would be our consideration."Harvey's expression became cold. "If I never came, won't Yvonne fall into the hands of the Islanders?""And will you allow it?" Nashon laughed. "Even if y
Third ring of Wolsing, ten in the evening.Compared to the dilapidated Island Nation embassy in the outer ring, the Xavier residence in the third ring of Wolsing looked mysterious and solemn. Not long after leaving the embassy, he did not waste his breath and immediately told Jesse to lead the way and bring him and Yvonne back to the Xavier of Wolsing.He had to explain certain things even if it was to the top ten families of Country H. Otherwise, this would not be a complete scheme. Jesse said nothing and simply led the way in silence.The three swiftly walked through winding paths past corridors, lakes, and artificial hills. In the end, they arrived at an old building in the middle of the residence.While this place looked empty and deserted, the reality was that this place was filled with lethal dangers. Those who came here without informing the people here ahead would not even know how they died.The candle in the old candle holder was burning within the building. While it was
Whoosh!Aya gave it her all, but Harvey simply swung his sword. But Harvey's seemingly underwhelming attack defended against Aya's explosive offensive. Aya did not choose to retreat after her attack failed. Her princess pride did not allow her to retreat simply.She took a deep breath and gave her 120%. Her power and speed were much faster when she attacked again. However, the moment the attack was going to fall, Aya shuddered. Because she noticed that Harvey's eyes had always been so cold from the very beginning…It was as if he had seen through life and death…It was as if he had seen through her life and death…Unspeakable despair grew in Aya's heart, and she felt that her sight began to be covered in darkness. A cold aura seemed to cover her from all directions, making it hard for her to breathe.Clang!At this moment, Harvey's swing clashed with Aya's full-powered strike. However, Aya could simply feel her hand shaking and her right hand numbed. And then, the blade of her s
