Everyone froze after hearing Harvey’s words.Because of their countless failures in Country H, the Islanders had put in a lot of hard work into the outskirts. For them, the outskirts was an important bridgehead.The Kawashima used all of its forces for that very goal. That was why they were considered a force to be reckoned with in the outskirts.Together with the existence of international disputes, nobody would dare go against the Islanders in the first place.Even the four great tribes and the Wolven Tribe would have to show respect.Yet, Harvey was acting in such an arrogant manner. Not only did he completely disrespect the Aenar Temple… He talked down the Islanders as well!‘He doesn’t even care about them being Islanders? Is he just confident? Or does he lack self-awareness?’“Perfect timing, Ms. Nanako!” Mr. Kennedy exclaimed, looking pale. “This bastard’s being extremely arrogant! Not only did he beat up your boyfriend, but he also crippled the protector who tried to
Harvey smiled at Nanako.“So you’re not going to ask what this live-in son-in-law of yours did? You don’t want to know why I’m taking him away?”“No! There’s simply no need for that!”Nanako shot him a cold and prideful look.“The moment he became the family’s live-in son-in-law, no laws of this country can do anything to him—no matter what he did wrong!“If you’re unhappy about it, then report this to the Island Nations!“Do you have any contact information for the country? If not, I can give you one here.”Harvey showed her a profound smile.“What? You don’t dare?”Nanako scoffed; she thought that Harvey was just afraid.“If that’s the case, then stop yapping already!“You insult and beat up the Kawashima family’s live-in son-in-law in front of everyone!“As the current person in charge of the family in the outskirts, I have the right to take you down, for the sake of our interests!”Harvey chuckled.“I have no right to take your live-in son-in-law away in my own countr
Harvey didn’t seem fazed at all when he saw the swordsmen surrounding him completely.“Do you have Stefan’s number?” he asked, looking at Romina. “Call him.”Romina froze before pulling out her phone.“Of course.”She started dialing a number.Nanako scoffed after seeing that.“What’s this? Are you begging Stefan for forgiveness? Let me tell you something! No favor is bigger than the Kawashima family! Stefan would never help you!”Harvey glared at Nanako.“What makes you think I’m going to beg for his mercy? I just want to see if he’s really planning to go against me for some woman of the Island Nations.”Nanako froze before scoffing again.“You’re questioning Stefan? Do you know just how powerful the consuls are in the outskirts? You’d have to kneel when you run into him! He might not bat you an eye after that!”“Maybe it’s the other way around.”“Oh? The other way around?” Nanako chuckled coldly. “Are you saying that Stefan will kneel to you?”“That’s right.”“Keep pret
Whitley froze.She didn’t think that Harvey would dare speak up like this in front of Stefan.Did Harvey have a powerful identity?Maybe he belonged to a family more impressive than the outskirts’ York family. Maybe he was from the Yorks of Hong Kong!If that wasn’t the case, he wouldn’t act like this in front of Stefan in the first place!Billie’s eyes twitched; she couldn’t understand the man in front of her at all.After thinking back for a moment, Nanako realized that Stefan had never been this respectful toward her, like the way he was to Harvey.“It’s nothing.”Harvey seemed quite casual about the situation.“I heard that you’ve been supporting the Kawashima family, and signed a few cooperation agreements.“A woman called Nanako is planning to drag me back to the Island Nations for a trial.“She said that it’s because of me trying to drag Asher away. She said that you’re supporting her actions as well.“Oh, Stefan. I didn’t mind you getting Asher to go against me… We’
Nanako was shivering, her face horrible.This was the Aenar Temple’s turf; Stefan definitely had the highest status here… And yet, Harvey managed to make him stand down with just his sharp tongue!‘What now? Am I really going to take action here? What if Stefan decides to go against me for his own benefit?’Nanako wasn’t scared of Harvey at all… But Stefan was a different story.Harvey kept tapping Nanako’s face. Her expression became more and more twisted.“What’s wrong? Are you scared? You don’t want to do it anymore?”Harvey chuckled.“Get your swordsmen to do the job already! Tell your ninjas to come at me!“I swear that I won’t fight back! But do you even have the courage to give the order?”Nanako’s eyes twitched. “Don’t get too cocky, you bastard!”Slap!Harvey swung the back of his palm forward, slapping her.“So what if I’m being cocky?”He quickly turned around, sending the swordsmen flying with a single slap each.“If slapping you in the face is considered cock
Those who came out from the back to watch the show gasped instantly.A man clad in white linen slowly turned, standing in the shadows of the entrance. His clothes seemed quite plain; he had a gentle look on his face, and he didn’t seem that tall.However, he looked as if the entire world revolved around him by just standing there.He seemed to have blended with the sky completely. If Harvey didn’t say anything, nobody would’ve known of his existence.Aryan smiled before showing a haughty look on his face.“Let me introduce you, Sir York.“This is a master of the Island Nations who came to exchange teachings with the Aenar Temple—Takai Kawashima!“Mr. Takai is an outstanding man in the martial arts world. His achievements are simply impressive!“He lost against the Great Wall by a single move… But he still looked up to Mr. Takai even so!“Given time, he’ll be considered one of the top ten talents of the Island Nations!”Everyone gasped.Power meant everything to the people of
Everyone gasped after seeing Takai’s slap.Only the experienced ones would understand what happened. By condensing his aura and launching it forward, that was how he slapped Asher.Ordinary people wouldn’t be able to learn something like this. Judging from that move alone, Takai’s training and talent were on another level.“Interesting.”Harvey chuckled.“People of the Island Nations put their swordsmanship first; the samurais there are no different.“But you actually managed to learn something like this. It’s not perfect, but it’s enough to tell that you’ve learned a lot.“Still, people like you have one thing in common: you’re a master of none.“Am I wrong?”Takai raised his head to look at Harvey, smiling faintly.“You talk like you know your stuff, kid. That said, it can’t hide the fear in your heart.“You know full well… That you can’t even get close to me.“I looked into you just now. You managed to take down Henrik’s disciple, making others think that you’re almost o
“It’d be bad to ruin the reputation of the Mandrake Residence…”Harvey looked at Takai, then went to an empty spot outside.“How about this? I’ll fight you with my bare hands. It’d be bad if I destroy the place, after all.”Aryan and the others were speechless. They had never seen such an arrogant show-off in their entire lives.At this moment, the remaining protectors couldn’t help but speak up.“We can’t take this anymore, Master Takai! Let us go at him too! We want this bastard dead!”“No need.” Takai shook his head. “He’ll insult me again once he loses against all of us. He’d only learn his lesson once he suffers a crushing defeat.”Harvey smiled. “I don’t mind you people coming at me.”Takai waved his hand, and a long sword flew straight into his hand.“It’s the Dragon’s Pull! It’s the legendary Dragon’s Pull! Not only can Master Takai release his aura at will, he can bring it back as well!“This is insane!”A huge group of monks were shocked by the sight. After all, bo
