"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
At Zimmer’s Villa in Niumhi. It was beaming with lights. That night was Senior Zimmer’s seventieth birthday party, and it was filled with numerous guests. All of his children and grandchildren presented him with gifts and said in unison, “We wish that Senior Zimmer is always blessed with good health and long life.” Senior Zimmer appeared quite rosy and energetic as he sat on his chair. He replied, “Good. All of you are indeed quite obedient. I’m very happy today, so I’ll grant each and everyone of you a wish! Just tell me what you want.” “Grandpa, I want an apartment near the ocean. It’s not expensive and it’s only over a million dollars…” “Grandpa, I want a Chanel limited edition bag…” “Grandpa, I want a BMW sports car…” “Grandpa, I want a Rolex watch…” “...” “Fine. I’ll grant every one of your wishes!” Senior Zimmer gave them his promise without any hesitation. The young children who asked for the gifts were overjoyed. They nearly kneeled down on the floor in gratitude. Lo
“It’s a message from the Yorks.” Harvey frowned slightly. The Yorks was the most influential family in South Light. At first, Harvey had been the rightful heir. But three years ago, somebody in the family wrongly accused him and claimed that he had embezzled the company’s funds. Therefore, his identity as their heir was eliminated.The entire York family had the same opinion and Harvey was disowned instantly. Furthermore, his parents were directly sent abroad and he had never met them since. “Bullsh*t! The truth is I have nothing but only twenty dollars in my pocket. The family needs financial support. What's the point of looking for me?”As he was thinking about that, he received another message on his phone. “Sir, I’m begging you now. Please help us! Didn’t you purchase some stocks of a gold mine three years ago? Recently, someone found that there’s a great amount of gold in that gold mine. Now, the stock price of that gold mine has increased tremendously!”“Now, the company’s fu
Half an hour later, Harvey reached Mandy’s company. As he was about to enter through the entrance, a bodyguard stopped him with a stun baton all of a sudden. The bodyguard said coldly, “Get lost! We don’t welcome beggars here.”Harvey had just woken up, and he did not manage to clean himself up first. Besides, he was wearing a T-shirt and a pair of shorts with patches all over them. He did seem just like a beggar by the road. However, Harvey was used to that kind of thing. He smiled and said, “Mister, I’m here to send a document to my wife.”“Do you have a wife given the way you look?” The bodyguard was suspicious. “Is it the cleaning lady—Zara or the worker who works at the back kitchen—Lily?” “My wife is Mandy,” said Harvey.The bodyguard was stunned. Soon, he broke into laughter. “I see. You’re the son-in-law of the Zimmers.” He could not cease laughing. Harvey shook his head. It never occurred to him that he was quite famous.“That’s enough. Hand me the document. Miss Zi
