"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
"I'll repeat it," said Harvey York, smiling coldly."Those who believe I didn't win honorably in Flutwell are free to challenge me. I'm right here, so feel free to make a move! Or are you saying that I should give a handicap of three moves? I can consider if you can pay me 15 million dollars for each move.""You…" Gaspar Lee could finally see that Harvey was not someone who they could negotiate with. It was useless if they wanted to coerce him with doubt and moral principles.That was because he was holding to one single principle.Might made right.And in reality, that was the same principle the martial arts world adhered to.Gaspar also knew a little about how much strength Harvey had.If the youths who were present were to fight, none of them would be able to defeat Harvey on their own. They might have a chance if they attacked him together.Harvey was a brutal man. If they did fight and he crippled a few of them, Gaspar would not be able to explain what happened to the trai
Everyone looked at the 20-dollar bill on the ground. Their derisive looks clear for all to see.Only Harvey York's expression was still as calm as ever. "Elder Lee, if I were you, I would pick that 20-dollar bill up and swallow it bit by bit. That way, I can pretend this has never happened. Or are you telling me that the representative position for the Alliance is worth only this much?""Why? What do you mean? Do you think it's too little when I have to squeeze 20 dollars from my retirement fund?" said Gaspar Lee with a dark expression."I'm going to be transparent with you. No one managed to get anything from me since the day I joined the society. You should be grateful that you even got 20 dollars from me. This is how much respect I have for you… And you will take it whether you like it or not. There's no room for negotiation."You should feel thankful that I've learned to control myself during these past few years. If it were me from the past, I would have killed your entire fam
What happened in the hall was enough to put almost everyone in absolute surprise. They could not even react to what had happened.None of them expected Harvey York to be so brutal.Not only did Harvey not show any respect to Elder Lee, who had served the Alliance across three generations, but Harvey even slapped him away with one strike before all of them.What he did was incomprehensible.Was he openly rebelling against them?Caelum Hughes was the first to regain his senses, and he instinctively yelled, "How dare you, Harvey! How dare you attack Elder Lee! Everyone, attack!"Kill this disrespectful fool!"Dozens of elite warriors behind him started to move forward with murderous intent, followed by Caelum's orders.Harvey could not even bother looking at them and simply stomped his foot on the ground. The wooden floor underneath him exploded in splinters.As the splinters started to shoot into the air, the elite warriors all shuddered. Their faces were filled with disbelief a
