Clang! Clang! Clang!Shingen laughed maddeningly after his two attacks worked; he kept on attacking again and again, each strike more powerful than the last. Just simple slashes were enough to make the winds blow within the venue, his strikes reaching heaven and earth.Facing such terrible attacks, Harvey had already given up on the small blade in his hand. He simply took one step back after another to avoid Shingen's attack.Shingen's every attack felt like he wanted to kill Harvey on the spot. But no matter how he attacked, no matter how powerful it was, he wasn't able to touch Harvey at all.Whoosh!It was another attack, but Shingen was faster. Harvey had already been forced to the edge of the stage. There was nowhere for him to run or dodge. Shingen's eyes were filled with murderous intent, as if he had already foreseen how he would cut Harvey in half.Clang!At this final moment, Harvey suddenly sighed, disinterested. He raised his right hand and blocked Shingen's attack.
Shingen's entire body froze at this moment in time. He could not understand why. He had already surrendered and was going to kneel. Why would Harvey be on guard? He had always used this scheme and ambushed plenty of elites.Why did it fail when used on Harvey?Shingen's throat was making some gurgling sound. He could not say anything, but he could not accept it."Do you know why I know you'll want to ambush?" Harvey wanted to crush Shingen's spirit. "That's because you have always been despicable. Whoever believes you… he's going to get it."Gah!After hearing Harvey's words, Shingen coughed one last mouthful of blood in regret, before falling to the ground. He would not make the same choices if he could relive his life. He could instigate anyone, but just not Harvey!Yvonne let out a sigh of relief after watching this scene.The worry in her heart had finally dissipated. All the Islanders still could not react to what had happened. They lost! How did Shingen, who had been on th
Clang!The next moment, a Shinto Way elite loosened his grip, and the sword he held fell to the ground. And then, he knelt on the ground as his body started to shake.He really wanted to defend the honor of the Islanders and his own honor. Of course, he also wanted to avenge Shingen. But… He wanted to live, too.When faced with the option of either death or kneeling, what other choices did he have other than to kneel?After the first one, there was a second one. In no time, all the Shinto Way elites threw their swords on the ground and knelt. When all the islanders saw what had happened, they all felt they were witnessing a funeral.They knelt.The Shinto Way, the leader of the Six Schools of Martial Arts, all knelt. The Island Nation's martial arts community knelt. The faces of those from the other schools or the Five Royal Families all became pale.They wanted to yell at the elites who were kneeling. How could they not give up on their lives instead? But once the words reached
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
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
"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
"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
"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
"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
