‘Did he just call us mutts? He thinks we’re unreasonable?! He claims that he wants to kill all of us?!’Harvey’s icy words were enough to drive the Islanders crazy.The man in front of them was completely surrounded. He was a fish in a barrel! How dare he act arrogantly and domineeringly while spouting shameless nonsense? Was he that eager to die?The intimidating attitude surprised everyone as if they were the ones being surrounded. An Islander warrior even slapped himself in the face to make sure he wasn’t dreaming.A few women in yukatas sized up Harvey as if they were looking at a clown. They had followed the Takei family in their conquest for so many years, but it was rare to meet a stupidly arrogant man like Harvey in the flesh.Makoto was on the verge of losing his mind. He was quite the character. His younger brother died, whereas his younger sister was crippled. Under these circumstances, he still had his eyes on the target regardless of the truth.Makoto gritted his tee
Before Harvey could act, the back door of Toyota Prado was opened. Edwin, who had been prepared for a long time, came out.The long sword in his hands was already unsheathed. He swung it instantly the moment he came out.Shing!The blade glinted as it slashed its targets. Three Islander warriors closest to Harvey clutched their throats and slumped to the ground in disbelief in the next second.Edwin didn’t bother sparing them a look. Instead, he took a step forward and continued slashing around him.One warrior would go down under each slash. In the blink of an eye, Edwin had already downed several Islander warriors in a row.“Is that man on the level of King of Arms?”Makoto was stunned for a moment. He knew what happened on the night before, so he immediately recognized Edwin as the King of Arms who protected Harvey.Meanwhile, Carol gritted her teeth angrily. She never thought that Edwin would come out to protect Harvey at this critical moment.Did the Mendoza family really
Carol might look furious, but she couldn’t stop the trembling in her right hand. In the end, she didn’t dare to give more orders to her men. The woman refused to admit that Harvey had intimidated her, but the fact that her right hand was still trembling betrayed her real feelings.“You’re too slow. Move faster. You act as if you haven’t eaten at all tonight.”Ignoring Carol, Harvey looked at the battlefield once more and started instructing Edwin on what to do next.Swish, swish, swish!Meanwhile, the battle between the two parties intensified. Edwin accidentally received a cut on his left hand. A dozen of Islander warriors took this opportunity to attack. Their longswords streaked everywhere like a meteor shower. The cold glints of their blades and the brimming killing intent filled the battlefield as they surrounded Edwin like a deadly formation.A sneer appeared on Carol’s face when she saw this scene. Makoto had a cruel smile playing on his lips. Rumiko, who remained on the gr
Carol was about to aim her firearm at Harvey when Makoto was slapped to the ground. She withdrew the weapon shakily immediately after that.She originally thought that Edwin was the reason behind Harvey’s confidence. However, all she could feel at that moment was despair. Makoto held his face gingerly, feeling his cheek smarting with pain. His pride, self-esteem, and the Bushido spirit were wounded from the slap as well.Harvey took out a tissue and carefully wiped his fingers. “You just can’t,” he concluded lightly.Those three words crippled Makoto once and for all, who slumped back onto the ground. He had underestimated Harvey’s strength before meeting him, and felt that he could still crush him even if he was protected by a King of Arms. It was only now that he realized that Harvey could down him with just one slap.The Shinkage Way, the Takei family, and other combat experts… They were nothing in front of Harvey’s slap.Even on the verge of having a breakdown, Makoto stil
The rest of the Takei family might not know Harvey well, but Maki thought he had a good sense of who Harvey was.For instance, Harvey was the branch leader of Longmen, who had defeated the Shinkage Way back in Mordu. Back then, none of the Shinkage Way members in Mordu had achieved the level of the God of War. Thus, Maki thought that Harvey wasn’t powerful enough to earn his respect.That was why the elderly man looked nonchalant when Harvey slapped Makoto and treated him like a mutt. Instead of losing his temper, he forced himself to calm downMeanwhile, Harvey looked at Maki with great interest. He wasn’t intimidated by Chief Takei at all. In fact, he was slightly curious about him.Maki was just a King of Arms at the end of the day. Harvey wondered who on earth gave him the courage to stir up chaos on Country H’s soil.“Young man, this matter ends here today! I’ve already known about Naoto’s incident. I’ll have the embassy of the Island Nation to cooperate with the Hong Kong an
In any case, Maki was still the top dog who had gone through his fair share of hardships and difficulties. However, the moment he witnessed his son, Makoto, being killed in front of him… Maki’s temperament, calmness, and indifference vanished instantly, replaced by immeasurable rage.Just like Makoto, the elderly man had never expected that Harvey would ignore him and kill his son even after he revealed his identity.At that moment, Maki could feel his blood boiling. He fumed as his body shook violently. He wanted nothing more than to strangle Harvey to death.The rest of the Islanders roared like wild beasts. They unsheathed their longswords, looking like they were about to pounce on Harvey at any second.Harvey remained nonchalant the entire time. On the other hand, Edwin positioned himself in front of the former protectively, already taking up his battle stance.Carol couldn’t help but shiver in fright. She fled the mourning hall like her life depended on it, not daring to take
Maki chuckled coldly, seemingly surprised by Harvey’s extensive knowledge. He didn’t say anything else. Instead, he opted to pounce in his opponent’s direction while wielding the longsword with just one hand.The remaining Islanders dashed toward Edwin while screaming at the top of their lungs. With his eyes narrowed, Edwin retaliated by picking up the firearm that Carol dropped earlier and pulling the trigger on them.Bang, bang, bang!Several Islanders collapsed in pools of their blood as a result. However, the other experts remained fearless as they continued to shriek and holler while rushing in Edwin’s direction.Carol, who was watching the battle unfold from outside the mourning hall, tried to run, but her legs were akin to jelly. She could only dial a number instinctively to call for help.At that moment, Harvey and Maki were locked in a one-on-one duel.Swish!Maki slashed his longsword downward, producing a long streak of silver light in front of Harvey. The latter slas
To the other onlookers, something mystical just happened on the battlefield.A phantom seemed to have materialized behind Maki. Its hands gripped the longsword alongside his own as they both released a powerful frontal slash. The essence of swordsmanship within that slash was able to break the weak-willed people from inside out.Carol, who happened to witness that slash from outside the mourning hall, crumpled to the ground immediately. She almost soiled herself out of fear.Clang!At that moment, a spark appeared within the sea of darkness brought by the phantom. That spark transformed into a streak of blade glow immediately, successfully blocking Maki’s ultimate slash.Clang!As a result, Harvey was sent flying backward. Once he landed on the ground, he quickly took three steps backward to shake off the excess momentum of Maki’s slash.“Interesting. This isn’t the prowess of someone who has just reached the level of God of War.”Harvey looked genuinely curious at the moment.
