After the commotion ended, nobody knew what Nashon was thinking. He signaled Jesse to invite Harvey into the residence. Mr. Tokugawa had also recovered his composure during this time. He gave Harvey a meaningful look and nodded before walking into the residence with the protection of the Xavier family's bodyguard.Once they were inside the residence, Harvey couldn't see Nashon immediately. Instead, he was led to a sitting room.A maid prepared a pot of coffee for him before quickly leaving. No one came to check on him in the next half an hour.Harvey didn't mind; he simply enjoyed the coffee and played with his phone. He acted like he was treating this as his home.After about forty minutes had passed, the door to the sitting room was pushed open. Harvey saw Nashon, who had changed into a traditional garb, entering. He nodded at Harvey before sitting down at the opposite and looking at Harvey with interest.Harvey wasn't going to underestimate the leader of the Xaviers; simila
Harvey frowned slightly and asked Nashon, "What do you mean?"Nashon smiled again."When you have a powerful identity, it often means you have the duty to protect the benefit of that specific group. Let me make an example. As the scion of the Longmen Association, it means you have to protect the benefits of the association."But sometimes, there's going to be a conflict of interest between the Longmen Association and the Martial Arts Association. How are you going to solve this perfectly when this happens? No matter how you decide, you will inadvertently take a side."It's fine if you can pick the same side all the time, but it's going to be bad if you sometimes side with the Longmen Association, and then sometimes side with the Martial Arts Association. Do it long enough, and not only will the people from those factions not be grateful to you, they'll even grow to resent you."That's the biggest trouble you're going to face currently. Once the conflicts become unavoidable, have y
Based on Nashon's words and attitude, it was clear that he had been paying attention to Harvey all this while. He managed to notice how Harvey did things. Harvey was someone who was willing to sacrifice his benefits for things like honor and justice.Someone like him was precious to a country and the ruling body. However, he was not a good husband to any woman. The reason was that she might get killed because of the man and even drag the family she was from down with her.Most importantly, Harvey was associated with too many factions. The Longmen Association, Country H Martial Arts Alliance, The Yorks of HL Casino, Country H Commercial Group… If anything happened to any of the factions, it would be enough to be lethal to those closest to him.The Xaviers could not afford the risk.To the Xaviers, they would not allow Harvey and Yvonne to meet each other again unless Harvey gained a new understanding and found a balance between being just and protecting one's benefits.Half an hour
After Harvey left the Xavier residence, he returned to his own estate, which he was staying in. Then, he sat in the courtyard, dazed.Nashon's words left quite an impact on him.A lot of things he initially did, he did it from the perspective of justice.However, after being prompted by Nashon, he realized he paid too little attention to those closest to him.Or perhaps he should say he did not really care about the people closest to him other than Mandy. He treated them all well and would give it his all whenever they were in danger, but the fact remained. To a woman's parents, they would never see him as someone worth dedicating her life to.Other than someone like Lilian, who loved him for the money, it was also something that Lilian herself had noticed.As for Yvonne, he simply felt that she would stick with him naturally. When he needed her, she would give it her all. But in the end, she was not an object but a living, breathing human being. She was not someone he could just
The Islander woman who seemed like a princess looked at the estate with judging eyes, as if this place was not worthy of her presence.However, she still controlled the disdain she felt in her heart and sauntered forward.Following behind her was an old woman that looked like a desiccated corpse. The difference between these two women was like night and day.Tyson had wanted to stand up to say something when they all saw the woman enter without permission, but Harvey signaled him to stop. Only then did he turn and look at the visitor. "This is a private estate and we do not welcome Islanders here. I don't care who you are. It's not too late to leave this instance."Harvey had little patience for the Islanders. Harvey had simply asked her to leave because she was a woman, and that was already respectful enough."You're that man… Harvey York, right? The representative who the Country H Martial Arts Association refused to acknowledge?"The prideful woman completely ignored Harvey's
"Oh, right. To be honest, I managed to become a True Warrior all thanks to you, Mr. Harvey," said Mitsuki as she remembered something and wanted to taunt Harvey."Originally, all the youths like us would take decades before we could become true warriors, no matter how talented we were or how many resources we had. But what can we do when the Island Nation suddenly makes a powerful enemy? He alone almost destroyed the entire Six Schools!"That enemy of ours even became the representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance and even made it into one of the Five Great Directors of the World Martial Arts Alliance! Everything he did made the martial arts community in our nation tremble in their boots."Especially when you say something about having a summit in our beloved Mount Hearth when spring comes and the flowers bloom. Everyone knows that if you manage to climb Mount Hearth, you will obliterate our current generation and create a generation gap. We have worked so hard for decades be
"What if I say I won't?" said Harvey to Mitsuki. After talking so much, she finally showed her true colors."You won't?" Mitsuki revealed a faint smile."If you refuse to accept our kind offer, then I suppose we'll have to fight at the Apex of the Forbidden City. But before that, we will first pay someone a visit. People like Mandy and Xynthia Zimmer, Kait Walker, Queenie York, Kairi Patel…"The smile on Mitsuki's lips deepened more and more after every name she mentioned.Harvey's eyes turned cold, and he immediately threw the coffee cup in his right hand straight toward Mitsuki's forehead. Typically speaking, he would not have attacked Mitsuki in a place like this. However, she crossed the line.The reason she came here was to force Harvey to surrender. From another perspective, it also showed how the Islanders were fearful of Harvey. Otherwise, they would not have done that when they already had four True Warriors on their side.When Mitsuki saw Harvey attacked, she smiled gen
"However, Shingen belongs only to me. But for his great work, I have no choice but to stop myself for now. But once he gets what he wants, I will personally kill that woman so she can see you in Hell. Even if you two can't sleep together, it's pretty romantic to be buried together!" said Mitsuki as she winked at Harvey and got inside her Toyota Century."Darn it! No need for you to lift a finger, Sir. I'll kill them myself!" Tyson was the one to open his mouth and was about to charge the Islanders.Harvey simply waved his hand and said, "No rush. The main reason she's here is to stir me up. If I fight her in this place, I'll be in trouble no matter if I win or lose."Tyson was stunned. "What do you mean?"Harvey then explained, "I've only realized it just now. Mitsuki kept taunting me from when she appeared to the final moment she left. It seems like she wants me to fight her when I'm angry. The kind where someone has to die."But I've already promised to fight them at the Forbidd
