Harvey froze, then smiled. “You’re too humble. As a consul, your schemes and combat prowess should be no less than outstanding. Without any proper defenses, even Amos wouldn’t be a match against you, right?”Stefan shook his head.“You know me, Sir York.“I don’t want to hear things like this. I want to win without a shadow of a doubt! I can only go all out if I have better odds at winning against Amos!“I know that with your strength, I’ll definitely achieve that.“Besides, you don’t have anything to lose in the situation, right?”Harvey was impressed by Stefan’s honesty. It’d be better to show his sincerity by not hiding anything.Harvey pondered for a moment, looking at Stefan with narrowed eyes. Stefan was holding his emotions back despite his wild ambition.“Since we’re here already…” he said with a smile. “Let me give you something.”Harvey scribbled on a piece of paper for a long time before handing it over.“These are Amos’s weak spots. Simply put, they’re what’s ke

An hour later, Stefan arrived at the Mandrake Residence.This was one of the most important strongholds of the Aenar Temple. Not only was the place very safe, but it was tightly secured as well.After waving at the people behind to dismiss them, Stefan came to the sun room at the edge of the cliff. He’d usually come here when he needed to think things through.He showed a playful expression after taking a look at the paper Harvey gave him.“Rumors say that Amos is trained under both the Kronen Temple and the Adenar Temple’s martial arts. His strength rose exponentially, but there’s also a huge trouble.“Judging from the current situation, he probably asked for Sir York’s help as well. And from what Sir York said, Amos is probably having a hard time controlling the energies in his body.“If that’s the case, it’d be better for me to stall a few more days.“Maybe, if I go back to the Aenar Temple right now and announce that I have the Smalt Sect’s badge, Amos will be pressured even

Stefan took a deep breath. “Pretty good. I like it a lot.”“Heh, heh! Good. You’d be letting me down if you didn’t. I put a lot of effort into preparing it.”Stefan instantly cut off the person. “Who are you? What do you want?”“Who am I?”The person lightly chuckled.“I’m just an ordinary person. The Smalt Sect wanted you dead—Amos was supposed to make the call… But he’s probably scared witless because of Harvey at this point.“If that’s the case, then I’ll have to force him to do the dirty work.“I’m giving you two choices. Either you end your own life here… Or I come to you and finish the job myself.“Would you be willing to save me some energy?”Stefan was dead silent for a moment. “You’re from Evermore?”“Smart man!”The person burst out laughing, holding his hands together.“You must be intelligent enough to figure out my identity. It’s always refreshing to talk to someone of your caliber.”Stefan took another deep breath. “No matter what Amos promised you, I can dou

“What should we do now?” one of the guards asked. “Evermore’s near-invincible, Consul. Maybe we should agree to their conditions.”“Their conditions?” Stefan glared coldly. “They want me to either kill myself, or they kill me themselves. How am I supposed to agree to that?”The guard shivered; he couldn’t say another word at this point.Stefan casually sat down, and took a sip of his cold tea.“Since Evermore has already announced my death, they’ll surely take action soon after.“They’re probably using me to make an example. They want Amos to understand he has no right to negotiate with Evermore, despite being the young master of the Smalt Sect.“Or, they’re forcing Amos into a corner to ensure he continues Evermore’s plan.“Either that, or this might be some plot to shift blame towards Sir York. If that’s the case, my master would fight him to the death if he doesn’t know about the situation.“They’ve planned everything…”Stefan revealed a gloomy expression.“Should we conta

Elaine froze. She looked confused.“I didn’t agree to kill off Stefan…“This probably doesn’t align with Evermore’s benefits. That was why they planned to kill him themselves.“They might just blame us for his death, too.Elaine frowned. “What? Isn’t Evermore working with us right now? If anything, they should be shifting the blame to Harvey instead! What’s the point of throwing all that mess to us?”“Evermore would naturally do that if they could. After all, they could pit him against Great Wall Vaati. However, Harvey might have backup plans against that,” Amos said. “For so long, Evermore is a rat hiding in the shadows of history. No matter how long they’ve been in this world—no matter how powerful they are, they simply can’t put themselves in the public.”Amos showed a horrible expression. Disdain could be heard in his words.After all, Evermore was essentially threatening him with this move; he was being utterly disrespected.For a prideful man like him, it was already ba

“If our men show up right now… Not only would we fail in killing Stefan, we’d be forced to flee while also leaving tracks for him to find.”Amos showed a scheming gaze.“Besides, Evermore must’ve leaked the information to us intentionally. The more they want us to take action, the more we should opt to do nothing. If not, we’d be the ones suffering!”Murderous intent was evident in Amos’s eyes.Other than his hatred towards Stefan, who dared to fight him… He started to despise Roue as well, who had been constantly forcing him to do things.‘I told him to give me a few days! Stalling is a legitimate tactic! Why would he force my hand like this?!’“If we don’t take action, Evermore would use the sect’s name anyway,” Serval said.“That alone would show a huge hole in our plan. Evermore might even tell Stefan you were the one who started all this after keeping him alive.”“Sigh…” Amos sighed, his face grim.“You didn’t think of all this yourself, did you?” he asked after a long

Harvey wasn’t thinking about the Budokan’s situation for the time being. He blended into the crowd, and headed inside the Kendo Hall that just opened.The place was recently renovated, but the smell was covered by air fresheners.Harvey glanced around, and saw almost two hundred parents and their children gathered in a tight space.Since the children didn’t understand history very well, they were heavily brainwashed by cartoons of the Island Nations. They showed looks of curiosity and excitement the entire time they were inside.Harvey frowned without saying a word.Invading the country through cartoons and games was one of the Island Nations’ main goals.Schemes like this weren’t easy to deal with.After all, they were only selling products without revealing their true goals publicly.This was a normal thing to do in the marketplace.More importantly, shameless businessmen in the country would usually pretend not to see the malicious intent, pretending to be kind. Some of the

“Good evening, dear students and parents!“I am Caspian Lee of the Martial Arts Association! I’m honored to begin the enrollment ceremony of the esteemed Shinto Way tonight!“The expert of the school, Tojo Nomura, will be here to show off his swordsmanship! Let’s give him a round of applause!”Only a few people clapped their hands.Harvey grinned at the sight; it was clear to him that Caspian’s ancestors weren’t good people. If that wasn’t the case, the man wouldn’t be standing on the platform.As for the Martial Arts Association, there was no need to take the organization seriously since it wasn’t an official one.Caspian felt a little embarrassed after hearing the sparse applause.“I know the outskirts have always admired martial arts!” he exclaimed proudly after letting out a cough.“You’ve all heard of the Shinto Way, the leader of the Six Schools of Martial Arts…“But you have no idea just how impressive the school’s swordsmanship is!“Before we proceed with our enrollme
