All the Shindan Way's elites didn't feel ashamed about it at all. To them, everything would be fine as long as Souichiro had enough power whether it was gained through an external means or otherwise.In the Island Nation's martial arts community, power was everything. No one cared how you got that power. The end justified the means.At this time, they were all expecting that Souichiro could avenge Akio.When Leighton heard what the Shindan Way's higher-ups had to say, his eyes widened in realization. "I see! It's similar to one of our sayings, where a cat is a good cat regardless of its colors as long as it can catch rats! In this world, power is everything!"The rest of the Islanders agreed with that expression. Since Souichiro wanted to have his revenge, it wouldn't be strange if he was willing to use everything he had at his disposal. As long as he could win, as long as he could kill Harvey… As long as he could succeed, it didn't matter what methods he used.Many Islanders st
"Harvey, I'm different from my father! He's a real knight, and he likes to duel others fair and square. He always gives others the benefit of the doubt. That's why he was killed after being ambushed by you!" Souichiro started to whitewash his father, although one might wonder what was the point of doing that now."But I'm different. As the new Battle Demon of Shindan Way, I will use everything I can to win. If you think you can win against me just because you defeated my father using an ambush, then all I can say is that you're too naïve!"Now, kneel and guard my father's tomb for a decade! Tell everyone that Country H's martial arts aren't as good as the Island Nation's martial arts and that Country H isn't as good as the Island Nation! Then, I can consider not killing you."Harvey signaled Yvonne to go to the corner and then looked at the sky. "The sky's getting dark. No wonder some people started dreaming.""You… You talk too much!" Seeing that Harvey refused to surrender, Sou
Gah!Souichiro, who was in mid-air, coughed out a mouthful of blood. He was thrown away like a ragdoll and slammed right into a wall, the shape of his figure etched on it. Blood trickled out of his eyes, nose, and mouth; a flurry of expressions crossed his face.Shock, confusion, and disbelief.Souichiro couldn't believe that he was defeated so cleanly. Regret, pain, and helplessness filled him. He never expected that despite going all out with Demonbane, the ancestral armor, and the exoskeletal frame, he would still lose to Harvey in one hit.At this time, Souichiro suddenly realized something. His father most probably didn't die in an ambush—the man really did lose to Harvey… "Harvey, you…"Souichiro still wanted to say something."So noisy!" Harvey slapped Souichiro with an indifferent expression, sending the man flying through the air. There was a loud sound, and Souichiro's head spun to the side. Black blood trickled out of his mouth, and he was at death's door…He defeat
To the Shindan Way, Souichiro's failure meant that the Shindan Way's reputation had been completely soiled. Before, the Shindan Way's Sword Saint, Akio, had already been defeated by Harvey. He also easily defeated the Shindan Way's demon, and they couldn't tell if Soichiro was truly dead.No matter how they looked at it, Harvey wanted to uproot them completely. The disciples of the Shindan Way, consumed by fury, looked at each other and roared. They pulled out the longsword at their waist and rushed to the stage. It was obvious they wanted to kill Harvey together, motivated by their rage."Fools…" Harvey took a step forward.Crack…The tiles on the ground were shattered and immediately shot at everyone around them. Every fragment was like a bullet shooting into the night.Arghhh!There were screams, and in just an instant, most of the Shindan Way elites had all fallen. All of them were clutching either their wrists or their knees. While they didn't lose their lives, most of them
Harvey narrowed his eyes and frowned. He couldn't lock into Takumi's position, as if he had been dragged by Takumi into another world. An invisible aura seemed to spread around him, chaining his flesh. He couldn't move even if he wanted to.The Yin-Yang Technique was indeed quite terrifying.Even Yvonne could feel how powerful Takumi was. She instinctively said, "Watch out!"Harvey nodded and closed his eyes. However, even his senses were telling him the entire space was still being warped. He seemed to have fallen into a deep abyss."Ha. Is that all you've got…" At the same time, Takumi's figure appeared right behind Harvey, holding a silver dagger. He flicked his finger and flung the dagger.The dagger whistled as it flew out; the instant it was released, it transformed into many daggers and attacked Harvey from all directions. Harvey suddenly opened his eyes and flicked his finger.Clang!The silver dagger fell in mid-air and, with a "thud", buried into the ceiling not that
Leighton and the others couldn't believe what Takumi was saying. They stared at the blood from his fingers. They couldn't believe that even the Way of Wood's Takumi couldn't survive one attack from Harvey. Now, the Islanders had to take Harvey even more seriously.Aya, from the ruling royal family's branch family, narrowed her eyes. If they could recruit someone like Harvey, then it would greatly benefit the future of the Island Nation."Takumi!" A group of men from the Way of Wood carefully helped Takumi up. A few Island Nation's doctors rushed over, trying to find a way to heal him.Takumi ignored all of them. Instead, he glared at Harvey. "How dare you cripple me, Harvey! I'm telling you this right now—this isn't over! You dare cripple an Onmyoji from the Way of Wood? You've made yourself our family's mortal enemy! I will kill you however I can! I will shred apart everyone that has anything to do with you! I will even dig out all your ancestors' graves and destroy their corps
"Not only are the Island Nation's martial arts at a disastrous level, but so is your mysticism." Harvey played around with the Demonbane in his hand. "I told you to give up, but isn't it a little too late to feel any regrets?"When hearing Harvey's words, the Islanders couldn't help but narrow their eyes. He was arrogant… He was simply too arrogant!Abito Way's leader, Shigeki Matsuda, was originally quite calm. However, even he was feeling somewhat agitated. If no one could stop Harvey today, then the Islanders would lose all their dignity! Shigeki couldn't care less about bullying the younger generation despite being a senior. He slammed his hand on the coffee table next to him and immediately soared onto the stage."And who are you?" Harvey turned his head and narrowed his eyes as he looked at Shigeki. Harvey could feel that he was somewhat dangerous."I am the Abito Way's leader and a sword saint as well. My name is Shigeki Matsuda," Shigeki said slowly."I'm very impressed
"Interesting! You can block my attack despite your youth! Given time, you'll be able to reach an impossible height. You can even be infinitely close to the level of the ruling royal family's tutor one day," Shigeki said with admiration, but his eyes became even darker.If Harvey was already that difficult to deal with right now, he would no doubt become the Island Nation's greatest enemy if he survived. With that thought in mind, Shigeki took a deep breath. He made another move, charging toward where Harvey was standing once more.Harvey simply looked at Shigeki calmly and held the Demonbane in front of him.Clang! Clang! Clang!Shigeki's attack was getting faster and faster, as well as more and more brutal.In the beginning, he had only used 70% of his power. However, as he continued his assault, every attack from him showed him getting more and more brutal. It was as if he wanted to bring Harvey down with him.Harvey didn't want to clash with him directly, and blocked Shigeki
Just when Harvey did not know how to respond, Vaida suddenly walked into the cockpit from behind. First, she glared at Harvey, then responded with Ellena's solemn voice. "It's done."When the person heard this voice, it was obvious that the man heaved a sigh of relief. "Land the plane on the last runway near the edge, then retreat immediately. Remember, don't leave any unfinished business behind. Our conversation is over." Then, the tone became engaged before it was completely cut off.Meanwhile, Harvey quickly took control of the plane's yoke and landed the plane successfully on the runway. The plane landed successfully. However, with one look outside, he suddenly frowned and said, "Something's not right. Go!"Then, Harvey dragged Vaida along with him and ran to the plane's emergency door. He opened the door and immediately jumped out.At this time, all the passengers in the first-class cabin finally got hold of themselves and started screaming and yelling. Instantaneously, the en
All the other passengers could only watch the sudden turn of events with mouths agape. It was as if they could not believe just how terrifying Vaida was. Even Harvey narrowed his eyes. He already knew that Vaida was a powerful martial artist and one that was close to losing control. But only now did he realize that the woman was trained in the legendary Basilisk Palm.It was a unique martial art from the tribes. While it was not exceptionally powerful, it was extremely venomous. Just one strike could make an elite like Ellena from Servitas lose power and control of her body, explaining just how terrifying this technique was.Before Harvey could say anything, Vaida had already picked up the revolver on the ground and immediately fired at her arms and legs. Then, she dislocated Ellena's jaw, making sure that Ellena could not kill herself no matter what.Vaida's directness made Ellena's eyes filled with rage. She could not believe that she still lost despite being in a situation wher
Ellena's expression was one of enjoyment and glee when she saw Vaida kicked Harvey, and even took a few slaps from her.Ellena finally felt she had her revenge after the humiliation she suffered at the Fosters a few days ago. The worse Harvey's condition, the happier she was.Harvey finally managed to get a hold of himself and stopped Vaida, saying in a cold voice. "Are you stupid? The person you should be dealing with is the criminal that's trying to kill you and not me, a victim!""Victim? To all of us, you're the real criminal!" Vaida roared. "I'm just heading home to visit family! Why do I have to be on the same flight as you? You're going to get us all killed! You're some representative, right? Aren't you supposed to fight for the people? Why don't you just die already? If you don't, how can you face us?"Vaida was looking at Harvey, gritting her teeth. It was obvious that if looks could kill, Harvey would have already died countless times. All the passengers were also riled u
"All you need to do is to sever your own tendons right before me and then jump off the plane. I guarantee that I will get all these people landed safely," answered Ellena with a sneer. "If you can't do it, it's fine. One hour will slowly pass by. Let's waste each other's time. You can taste your regrets, I suppose. Regretting the fact that you instigated me in the first place…"Ellena's words at this point sounded so calm, as if she had truly accepted her inevitable death. All the passengers' expressions turned pale when they saw her speak with such expression. Vaida's face was so pale that she looked like a ghost."Please, no, ma'am! We did nothing to you! Why must you kill us too?""That's right! We can give you anything we have! Do you want money? Do you want properties? We have them all! But please spare us!""It's not that simple trying to kill him with a revolver. It only looks easy," Ellena said with a sigh. "This is the representative of the Country H Martial Arts Alliance.
Harvey nodded at Ellena. "True. That's my mistake. But I'm curious: why are you all so obsessed with trying to kill me? Is it because I'm here to take over the Three Halls? Or is it because I'm the representative? Or is it because I humiliated Grand City at the Forbidden Wasteland? Or maybe it's because I'm going to help Sienna break her engagement?"Then, Ellena replied coldly, "Why are you so curious? Does it even benefit you? I don't want you to die knowing why. When you die, the more clueless you are, the happier it will make me."Harvey nodded. "I can understand that you want to kill me. But the problem is, so many innocent people are involved. Why must you involve them as well? Not to mention, if you do this, it'll not bring you any praise. It will most likely sully your reputation instead. Do you want yourself to be remembered with a tarnished reputation that much?"After hearing Harvey's words, Ellena looked at all the passengers and said, "Whether my reputation is good or b
Ellena smiled when she saw she had the entire cabin under her control. "This is connected to my heart. Whether my heart stopped or the timer reached zero, it would explode. That's why I believe you should be able to chat with me while remaining calm, right?"All the passengers in the first-class cabin felt that they would faint soon after hearing what Ellena said. Vaida, who was the calmest among them, also narrowed her eyes. They were on a plane. And then, there was a timed bomb that was connected to her heart. This was a puzzle with no clear answer.Not to mention, Ellena was armed with a revolver and maintained a safe distance between Vaida and Harvey. It was as if she could pull the trigger at any time.Fortunately, there was enough distance between the first-class and economy-class cabins. Otherwise, just the gun alone was enough to make all the passengers in the plane lose their minds.Harvey sighed. He knew Ellena was using the hundreds of innocent lives on this plane to bla
"I'm sorry, but it really wasn't intentional…" Harvey apologized to Vaida. Just as he was going to explain himself, he heard a creak. The door leading to the cockpit that was supposed to be shut tight was left open, with the scent of blood coming from inside.Before Harvey and Vaida could react, a woman in a pilot uniform walked over with a calm expression. Although her uniform was dotted with blood spatters, her aura and haughtiness in her eyes remained intense.Then, she removed her face mask and smirked at Harvey. "Good morning, Mr. Representative. We meet again…"Harvey's eyes narrowed; he seemed mildly surprised.It was Ellena.Speak of the Devil…At the same time, Harvey also gave Ellena a better evaluation. Although it took her a lot of effort to escape by leaving behind a decoy, she was now right in front of him and greeting him out in the open. This not only proved how mad she was but also strengthened her confidence in cornering Harvey.Harvey looked at Ellena nonchala
Originally, Harvey thought that since they met each other thanks to Fate, he wanted to give some pointers to Vaida. However, from her attitude, Harvey could ascertain that she would not believe him no matter what he said. If that was the case, he didn't want to waste his time on someone who wasn't appreciative.The flight continued for about two hours. Their journey was only half done. Harvey stretched his back and sipped his sparkling water a few times. Then, he took out his tablet, connected to the plane's Wi-Fi, and checked his emails.Instantly, several emails were sent to his private email.Yvonne had already handled all kinds of business at Sky Corporation. She also mentioned receiving news that Sienna seemed to have gone to Grand City last night, but she could not confirm the veracity of that news.That piece of news was enough to make Harvey slightly frown.Another news story was that Rachel, whom Harvey had made arrangements for, had already arrived at Hyperborea. She was
Next morning.Harvey packed out a few outfits and then took a flight to Hyperborea. "I didn't expect the entrance to Grand City would be located on the peak of Hyperborea. From Wolsing, it would take around four hours, which meant I would arrive around noon. If everything goes well with the entry pass, I should be able to enter Grand City by two o'clock."Then, I will have to spend the whole afternoon taking over the three halls. After that, I need to help Sienna break her engagement… Wait, why did I even agree to help Sienna with the engagement? That way, doesn't it look like both of us have some secret relationship? Especially to the outsiders?" Harvey was speechless as he sat in his first-class flight seat.Typically speaking, he should not have gone to Grand City when there were so many unsettled things. But he had no choice but to come over when so many things were happening simultaneously.That being said, Harvey felt confident that Yvonne would handle all the matters in Wols
