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
“He’s dead! Even an elephant would be cut in half in front of my uncle! Let alone a man!”Nanako scoffed.The Kawashima family’s techniques weren’t the only ones her uncle learned…It’s said that Takai received ancient teachings from somewhere in the Island Nations; he wouldn’t have risen to power so suddenly if that hadn’t been the case.Takai’s strength was comparable to that of a god at this point; not only were his moves extremely flashy, but they were quite powerful as well.Harvey wouldn’t be a challenge even after training for ten years, let alone now!“I told you, flashy moves won’t do anything for you.”Harvey sighed, and flicked his finger.Bam!A loud explosion was heard in the air; the crowd was shocked to see it.Takai’s attack scattered after coming in contact with the explosion Harvey made.Takai’s expression changed slightly, while Harvey wiped his hand with some tissues disdainfully.Aryan, Asher, and the others were filled with disbelief.In their minds,
Harvey didn’t care about Takai’s praise at all.“Another ten years, and you might just get to my level.“Thirty more years, and you might have the right to be enlightened like the Great Wall.“It’s rare for such a big country to have talents like you!“The Island Nations is no different.Takai showed a stern expression.“You’re powerful. If you’re willing, I will sacrifice everything for the sake of your growth.“It’s a shame that a stubborn young man like you will not back down easily.“If that’s the case, then I’ll have to kill you right now to prevent another thorn from disrupting my country decades later.“It’s your greatest honor to die by my blade, kid!”Takai slowly removed his broad robe, revealing his inner garment. At the same time, a terrifying aura seeped out of his body.Nanako, who was filled with shock and regret, slowly calmed down.“Uncle’s about to get serious.”‘What? He wasn’t serious yet?! Is he about to show his true strength?!’Everyone was filled w
Everyone was filled with shock after hearing those words.They didn’t understand what Takai did to be this impressive…but judging from Aryan’s shock, they immediately understood.Nanako crossed her arms, showing a prideful expression.“There are some things that you might not know, Master Aryan.“When my uncle sparred with the Aenar Temple, he only showed ten out of fourteen slashes. He usually wouldn’t use the last four since they were the deadliest.“Even if Harvey’s lucky enough to deal with the first ten slashes… Nobody would be able to go against the last four! He’s dead for sure!”Everyone looked at Harvey with pity; they naturally believed Nanako’s words. Romina and Billie seemed worried, but they wouldn’t dare say a word about it.Takai dragged his long sword on the ground, emitting a trail of sparks, until he finally arrived ten steps in front of Harvey.“Any last words, young man?” he exclaimed coldly.Harvey smiled.“You should tell me yours instead. Your family’s
