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
Gaspar Lee boasted he could do whatever he wanted in the Country H Martial Arts Alliance.He boasted that he had garnered some respect in the entire country. He never knew there would be a time when he would be taken advantage of like this.But the most important part about all of this was not the loss he suffered but the fact that he himself had suffered such humiliation.He was at such an advanced age and called himself the seneschal. He also maintained communication with all the major training grounds.How was he supposed to interact with them after suffering such humiliation?However, despite his regrets and resentment, Gaspar dared not say anything anymore.That was because he finally realized it.The others might show him some respect, but Harvey York never cared about giving him any respect at all."It's a good thing that you know your place," said Harvey when he saw how Gaspar suppressed his dissatisfaction. Then, Harvey covered Gaspar's face with the tissue paper he ha
A loud gunshot could be heard.Everyone else saw Harvey gently raise his right hand with his middle and index-finger coming together to catch something. The specially made bullet then fell in Harvey York's hand.If it were not because there was smoke coming from the spot between Harvey's fingers, many of them would think this was fake."How's that even possible…" Caelum Hughes was stunned.He knew how powerful the special firearms from Country A were.It was said that it had been used to kill a True Warrior. It was one of the most powerful weapons they had against martial arts elites.However, Harvey could easily block the attack from this specialized weapon.How…In that instant, Caelum wanted to pinch himself to see if he was really dreaming."Back to you."Harvey said calmly and flicked his finger.There was a loud snap. Caelum, self-styled one of the Four Kings of Country H Martial Arts Alliance, could not even dodge it.He let out a cry and flew out instantly. When he
When Caelum Hughes heard what Harvey York had to say, his heart skipped a beat.He originally had complete confidence in how much power Hummingbar had. But looking at Harvey's attitude and how the others looked at them like watching a show, he suddenly realized something.Had someone used him and Hummingbar as some kind of a tool?And it was not a tool to take Harvey down, but just a tool to test Harvey.And the truth was that not only did Hummingbar lose, but they also lost completely during this round of testing.From this day forward, Hummingbar would not even hold the same level of authority within the Alliance as before.The moment that thought crossed his mind, he could feel a chill run down his spine.Caelum no longer held the same arrogance the moment he realized that.Harvey smiled. "Looks like you finally understand. I guess you do have the capacity to learn. Now, I'll give you one more chance. Apologize to me and crawl back to whatever hole you come from.""You…" Ca
Ten minutes later, the inner hall of the Songstress's Stage was left empty.The arrogant crowd sitting inside moments before left after politely saying their goodbyes to Harvey York.Harvey did not bother to take them seriously and simply waved them goodbye with a smile. He even gave them all an elegantly made name card.After they left, Charlotte Padget looked at Harvey strangely as she stood next to him. She wanted to say something, but she could not."Are you trying to say I'm being a little too easygoing? I've just completely humiliated Caelum and the others, but I'm already giving out name cards. You're not used to something like this, are you?" said Harvey after he glanced at Charlotte."A little. Normally speaking, they will side with Caelum," Charlotte replied."You're wrong. They all represent each individual training ground. They have never sided with Caelum. They have sided with the side that has the benefits," said Harvey calmly."If Caelum was the one that had defea
After Harvey managed to deduce Dan's aim and plan, he then started to think about saving Tina. It was not because Tina was important, but it was simply because after saving her, it would immediately destroy Dan and Coco's perfect plan and disgust them.Harvey believed that if he kept on destroying Dan's plans, no matter how tough he was, he would eventually break down. That was why Harvey had already asked Alexei to send people to keep an eye on Tina, resulting in that scene just now.Most importantly, only after Tina managed to get her life back after suffering a near-death experience would she be willing to fully cooperate with her interrogation.Harvey opened the door and walked over to Tina.Tina was already lying on the ground, face down. The blood she lost made her shudder; even her breathing was becoming so weak that people could hardly hear her. Harvey narrowed his eyes and gave her a good look before saying to Alexei, "Get the first aid kit from the car and then call an am
"Oh, Tina. If the princess wants you dead, no one will spare you. Isn't it better to just die peacefully?" sighed Willy as he looked at Tina in her terrible state. Then, he pulled out his silver pistol and aimed at Tina's forehead from afar inside his Land Cruiser. He was going to pull the trigger.Boom!At the critical moment, a Range Rover suddenly appeared from the side and rammed into the Land Cruiser. The Land Cruiser's chassis shook and almost flipped over.Willy, who was aiming at Tina with his pistol, instantly lost his aim.Very quickly, they crawled out from their Land Cruiser. While they were still holding on to their weapons, they had already lost their prideful demeanor. Willy, especially. As an heir in Grand City, he had never received this level of injury before. At that moment, his body shuddered in anger."Which fool did this to me?! I will… Crap!" Before Willy could even finish cursing, he already saw Alexei give him a smile from the driver's seat in his Range
Unfortunately, while the voice messages were sent out, the opposite side refused to accept them. Tina could only scream when she looked at the red exclamation marks. The pursuers in the cars behind her had also opened their cars' sunroofs and taken out their crossbows. When the bolts they launched hit the road, they immediately created holes in the road from the explosions.Thunderblasts!They were the Martial Arts Weapons, Thunderblasts!When Tina saw what they were using, Tina knew that Coco had given them strict orders. They would not stop until they killed her. If she wanted to survive, she had to find someone else to help her.When that thought crossed her mind, Tina immediately turned into a corner on the highway, heading straight toward the Foster Residence's direction. Willy's expression also turned cold when he saw Tina's car change direction as he sat in a Land Cruiser behind her.As one of Dan's right-hand men, he would definitely do his best despite Coco only asking hi
Tina was no fool. The moment she saw the sleeping drugs, she saw through everything. What Coco's secretary asked her to write was not some complaints but her farewell note. With that note and her death, it would be enough to drag Harvey and Vaida into the mud.Tina knew very clearly about this because she had done something similar, treating others as pawns. However, she would never willingly become someone else's pawn, especially when she had to sacrifice her life for someone else's hand on this game board.When she was writing the complaint halfway, Tina made an excuse about her needing to go to the bathroom to compose herself. But at the window, she already saw some people outside planting some evidence while removing their traces.She shuddered. She could sense the cold hand of Death around her throat. She immediately escaped through the window and immediately ran to her own car, leaving without looking back.However, Coco's secretary made his preparations as well. The moment T
"Let's not talk about whether they fail or succeed," said Harvey with a sigh. "From what happened last night, Dan was going to fight me until the end. Next, he was going to manipulate another group to try and kill me again. Unless I leave Grand City, give up on the Three Halls, and my identity as the representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance, all this is never going to stop…"Vaida gave Harvey a thought and asked, "Then, what are you going to do next? If you want to leave, I can send you away."Harvey shook his head. "I haven't completed my objective for coming to Grand City yet. No need to rush. Not to mention, Dan is quite petty, which means that he isn't suitable to become the mayor of Grand City. This city is very important to Country H. While I'm not interested in becoming mayor, I wish the person who becomes the mayor is someone who can serve the country and its people."Hearing Harvey's words, there was a strange glint in Viada's eyes before she said with a smile, "If
The moment the name appeared in Sverker's mind, he opened his mouth with a hoarse voice. "You're… you're the Ministry of Defense's… living legend… The Chief Instructor?!"When Ghostface heard that name, he shuddered with an expression of total disbelief.Impossible!How was it possible!He was the scariest nightmare for the Island Nation and even Sky Plane itself!Harvey sighed and no longer looked at Sverker. Instead, he turned to look at Ghostface and narrowed his eyes. He smiled and said, "Ghostface, let me ask you a question. What is one plus one equal to?"Ghostface instinctively replied, "Two…'"Ha…" Harvey let out a long sigh with a face of regret. "You and Sverker are the same. Both of you have the same problem. You know too much…"In the next moment, the longsword in his hand instantly shattered into fragments and shot in two different directions. A simple action managed to clear the location of any murderous intentions as Ghostface and Sverker both held their throat a
"It's almost my turn, right?" After Harvey parried Sverker's attack easily, Harvey made his move and jumped into the air. The longsword in his hand swung down.The most powerful martial arts in this world were the ones that were the fastest.This attack was not complex at all, but just one look was enough to strike fear into one's heart. Especially Ghostface. When he saw Harvey's attack, there was an indescribable fear within him. He had a feeling that, if Harvey wanted, he could easily kill him on the spot.And then, he also understood that when Harvey was fighting him, he probably did not even use 70% of his full power."Will of the Blade!" When Harvey saw the attack, Sverker's expression also turned into shock. He had practiced the use of a sword for many years, but he never awakened to the Will of the Blade. He did not expect that Harvey would have awakened to it despite his young age!Whoosh!Sverker did not dare to face such a simple but terrifying attack head-on. All he co
Sverker smiled at Harvey, as if he had sensed Harvey staring at him. Then, he turned to look at Ghostface once more. "If you want me to do something about this, there won't be any problems. But remember. After this, I will lead all the operations in Grand City. The Origin Ninjas will be my subordinates."Ghostface's expression darkened a little, but he promptly replied, "That's fine. I agree on everyone's behalf.""Good. Remember your promise."After that, Sverker took another step forward. He immediately landed and stood on the hilt of one of the longswords impaled into the ground. His hands were behind him, looking like a peerless grandmaster.He proudly looked at Harvey before chuckling and asked, "You're the representative of the Country H Martial Arts Alliance, Harvey, am I correct? I heard you're the most powerful man in the alliance. But now that I get to see you in person, you look quite ordinary. Even if you're strong, you probably don't have the brain power since you walk
After giving it a few more looks, Harvey ignored the surroundings, and his gaze fell on Ghostface's figure ahead.When Ghostface had reached about a few hundred feet into the forest, he suddenly raised his hand, and a small repeating crossbow appeared in his hand. He did not even turn around and immediately pulled the trigger at where Harvey would be.Whoosh!Harvey's expression was calm. When he saw the bolts flying toward him, he simply stomped his foot on the ground. The rocks fired upward and instantly deflected all the bolts.Ghostface's expression changed once more when his attack was deflected, and he quickly retreated. Ghostface was escaping increasingly faster because it was obvious that he knew he would die a terrible death if he ended up in Harvey's hands.Harvey narrowed his eyes as he followed Ghostface without rushing. That was because Ghostface's actions were too intentional, as if he was worried that Harvey would not follow him at all. That was why, despite Harvey
