Not only was Geoffrey the leader of the Universal Sect, but he was also one of the Seven Predecessors of Grand City. For him to be able to join this joint trial, it proved that he had a lot of power and could decide plenty of things. When Geoffrey saw Samuel dumping the biggest trouble on him, he took a deep breath. A faint smile appeared on his old and wrinkled face.He looked at Harvey, who was enjoying the show thus far, and said, "Mr. Harvey, everyone here is demanding that I pass on to you all the power and organizations we have beyond Grand City. Are you interested in them? Allow me to introduce them to you. Outside of Grand City, we have three halls. Heaven, Earth, and Purgatory. They manage everything that is related to the Grand City outside of the city itself. Once you have these powers, you can never be separated from us…""I want it." Harvey didn't even finish for Geoffrey to finish and agreed to it. "As per the bet, I want all the authority. I will give Grand City seve
Mandy whispered, "If that's the case, you'll officially intervene in everything that has to do with Grand City. They have too many resources and too much power… I'm very worried if an outsider would suddenly intervene…"Harvey patted Mandy's head and said calmly, "Don't worry. In truth, from the moment I became the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance, it's already fated for everything to end like this. Even if what happened today didn't happen, something else will. Since it's only a matter of time, other than to deal with them as they come, the best way to deal with this is to be on the offensive."It's fine. You don't have to worry too much. With my personality, even if I really do take over Grand City's three halls, I'll simply find someone else to take over for me and stay behind the scenes. If I do that, as long as Grand City knows what to do and not make an enemy of me, it's going to be a happy ending for everyone involved, right?"Mandy said nothing after that, and cha
When Harvey heard Mandy mention the word merciful, he sensed something was wrong. But something like this wasn't so easy to explain. Just when Harvey was going to change the subject, the screen for the security cameras in the living room showed a black Lincoln Extended. The windows for the back seats weren't rolled up, revealing the face of someone especially old.When Harvey saw that face, he was stunned and stood up. "Mandy, rest here. I'll be back soon.And then, he was already at the entrance of the estate. He quickly waved his hand, telling Rachel's men to step back for now. Then, he walked over to the window and said with a smile, "Long time no see, Mr. Geoffrey. You look as good as ever."As soon as Harvey said that, the door opened. Eight middle-aged men wearing robes slowly got out and spread to four corners. After that, an old man got out. His breathing was a little ragged, and anyone could tell that his lungs must have suffered some injuries in the past. Even then,
"Tell me, then," Harvey said without missing a beat."Firstly, I want to once again apologize to you on behalf of Grand City for the damage to your reputation," Geoffrey said sincerely. "After what's happened, the Grand City will make adjustments so this won't happen again."Harvey smiled. "There's no need to apologize. I don't really care whether you make any adjustments after this."But what Harvey didn't mention was that once he had the time, he would personally make those adjustments himself."Regardless, all of this was our fault. I've already warned them. If they get into trouble with you again without any reasons, then there's no need for you to do anything. I'll personally break their legs," Geoffrey said earnestly."Secondly, I want to thank you. Durandal is a junior I have high hopes for. I have spent a lot of effort on him. Because you have the power to overturn decisions, it's the reason I can openly continue the investigation as well. I hope one day, we can finally fi
Harvey pretended not to understand Geoffrey's warning and just smiled. "Right. I wonder if you have anything else you want to tell me?"Seeing that Harvey was changing the topics, Geoffrey knew that Harvey didn't pay attention to his implied warning. He sighed in regret. All the young men nowadays were so prideful. When he finally encountered someone who seemed skilful, the man was in the end just more of the same.Originally, Geoffrey didn't want to talk with Harvey anymore. After Harvey asked him that question, Geoffrey hesitated for a while. Then, he treated it as a final gamble and gave a reply."Fine. Since I'm here anyway, I'll tell you about this too. There's another thing I want you to help me with, and that is to see if there is any Island Nation curse within me. I believe you must have heard a little about me in the past few days, so I'll make this short."After that battle, my lungs were injured. After a decade's worth of healing, I've managed to completely suppress
When Harvey saw the throwing dagger, he frowned. "Ninjas from the Island Nation…?"Whoosh!At the same time, deafening booms filled the air. Suddenly, five ninjas in differently-colored uniforms appeared. They wore monster-shaped masks, looking vicious and terrifying.The moment they appeared, Geoffrey was bewildered."The five elemental kings of the Sky Plane?" he exclaimed. "The Sky Plane? Isn't there where the Island Nation said their gods reside? Does such a place really exist in reality?" Harvey asked. Even if Harvey himself was shocked at how terrifying the five ninjas were, he was still in the mood for gossiping."In our country, we have the Grand City, a place far above your world. The Island Nation had a similar place. The Island Nation called it the Sky Plane. Those who lived in the Sky Plane were just ancient beings who had reached the end of the Martial Path in Island Nation."Grand City and Country H's relationship isn't that good. Sometimes, Grand City would e
Harvey smiled and said calmly, "There's no need to apologize. Let's deal with these five before continuing our conversation."Geoffrey's smile widened. It was obvious that Harvey was pleased with how he dealt with the Islanders.Meanwhile, the expressions of the Five Elemental Kings darkened even more when they saw how Harvey and Geoffrey were chatting leisurely while ignoring them.The Metal Ninja King took a deep breath and said in a dark voice, "I never expected that despite so many, you still don't know your place, Geoffrey. Now that we Five Elemental Kings have appeared, it means you're going to die here today. You better consider if you should just surrender. Because if you do, at the very least we'll make sure you die in one piece. Or you can choose to fight until the end, until not even a bit of you is left…"As soon as the Metal Ninja King finished his speech, the other four Ninja Kings all drew out their longswords, the murderous intent in their eyes clear.Geoffrey nodd
There was only disdain in Harvey's eyes as he looked at the islanders. "I'm one of the best fighters in this generation. Your sword saints, Akio and Shinosuke, I've defeated all of them in one strike. I'm not afraid of them. Do you think I'm going to be afraid of you? All five of you should know that the Shinto Way's bloody wedding was all thanks to me, right? With so many battles before me, where did you get the idea and courage to believe that you can defeat me?" Harvey's words were calm, but his disdain was obvious.Normally, the Islanders would be enraged after hearing that. However, these five didn't even react to it. The Metal Ninja King that led them was especially calm. With a snort, he said, "I acknowledge that you're very strong, to the point that all six schools had been completely defeated. Quite a few people are by their inner demons the moment they hear your name."The problem is, do you think that the people from the six schools could represent the best of us? To
