"Impossible! That's impossible!" An unspeakable fear began to surge forth from the Metal Ninja King's heart. How could Harvey defend himself against his decisive attack with just two fingers? How could something like this happen in real life?The Metal Ninja King wanted to escape, but he noticed that no matter what he did, he couldn't pull his sword back. Before he could do anything, Harvey was about to slap him.Whoosh!Harvey's action was infinitely simple, but it was unimaginably fast too. When the Metal Ninja King saw that, he immediately let go of his hands, wanting to give up on his longsword so he could retreat. While he was fast, Harvey was even faster.The only martial art that couldn't be beaten in this world was one with speed.No matter how much the Metal Ninja King retreated, Harvey's slap would hit his face either way.He retreated, again and again.The Metal Ninja King no longer had the pride of one from the Sky Plane. He was sweating profusely as he kept on r
However, even if Harvey had really only just become a True Warrior, he was still young. If he had about ten years to grow, would he be able to reach the legendary stage where he would become one with nature? Even if he couldn't reach that stage, when the time came, who could stop him when he was one step away from reaching it?The moment that thought crossed their minds, the Ninja Kings all understood why the members of the six schools saw Harvey as their archenemy."You're indeed quite powerful, Harvey York. You've become a true warrior when you're still so young. And from the way I see it, your aura is quite calm, and your presence is harmonious. That's enough to explain how you managed to reach this level without help from any outside powers. Good… You're outstanding!" The Metal Ninja King said as he rubbed his swollen face and sighed in admiration."Let's put it this way. If we don't kill you today and let you grow, then one day, you might destroy the entire Island Nation. So, w
"Water! Fire! Both of you, kill the kid! Make it quick!" The Metal Ninja King gave out his order. "Everyone else, come with me!"As soon as the Metal Ninja King yelled his order, the Water Ninja King and Fire Ninja King made their move. Two shadows of red and blue flashed toward where Harvey was standing. The two of them normally worked well with each other, and the moment they attacked, the winds howled with ear-piercing screeches.In a flash, both of them appeared right in front of Harvey. When Fire and Water stacked together, it made Harvey feel that the space he was standing in kept cycling between hot and cold. It was as if he was surrounded by both fire and water.As he faced the two of them, Harvey's expression remained as calm as ever. He even had the time to sigh.Whoosh! Whoosh!The instant that the two of them got close to him, Harvey didn't waste his breath and immediately handed out two slaps, which went directly to their faces. "What?!"While Harvey's action was s
However, no matter what they thought about Harvey, all the five Ninja Kings from Sky Plane shared the same understanding. They couldn't allow Harvey to grow. Otherwise, forget the Island Nation—even the Sky Plane could be destroyed by him.Harvey gave them a hint. "If you ask me, you should just stop splitting up between me and Geoffrey. If the five of you focus on me, you might still have some chance.""You…" The Metal Ninja King's expression changed. His face turned cold, and he quickly ordered, "Let's go!"Whoosh!The four other Ninja Kings stopped hesitating and launched themselves simultaneously right as the Metal Ninja King made his move. The five Ninja Kings congregated together and formed a Five Elements Formation.The battle began.Seeing what was happening, Geoffrey quickly yelled at Harvey, "This is the Five Elements Formation from Grand City! While it's something they stole from our country, after so many years' worth of improvement, it has become even more vicious.
Slash!Sounds of dulled blades hitting flesh ripped through the air. All five Ninja Kings who had reached Harvey were in disbelief. They clutched their throats and fell to the ground.The Metal Ninja King raised his hand, wanting to point at Harvey and say something, but he couldn't utter a word. It was an instantaneous death.Harvey still managed to kill all five of them easily despite them using their final ace in the hole. The five Ninja Kings couldn't accept it—they couldn't even die in peace."Elder Geoffrey!"At this time, dozens of figures were quickly approaching.Aside from Geoffrey's bodyguards, there were students from Dragon Gate's Enforcement Hall too. When Rachel and the others saw that Harvey was unhurt, all of them let out a sigh of relief.Harvey remained impassive. He wiped his fingers clean and looked at Geoffrey, who had been watching the show.Geoffrey coughed, then walked over to Harvey and said with a smile, "You're quite good, friend. You're already a
Geoffrey fell silent. With a final smile at Harvey, he left with his men. Only once Geoffrey was completely gone did Harvey return to his estate.He drank the tea Mandy had brewed for him just before he left. The temperature was just nice. Giving it a sip, he could taste the fragrance budding in his mouth.Meanwhile, Mandy had already fallen asleep on the lounge chair out of boredom next to the coffee table. Seeing this, Harvey was a little stunned. Wasn't this the normal life he had been wanting after he retired all those years ago?After a moment of silence, Harvey took a blanket. He had just wanted to put it on Mandy when she woke up from her nap. She turned and looked at him, then smiled. "You're back? I've ordered some takeout earlier and we can heat them in the microwave. We'll just eat something simple. Is that alright?""Sure," Havey agreed. He helped Mandy clean up the dining table. While it was a simple meal, it was the most comforting he had eaten in the past few y
Samuel narrowed his eyes and smiled as he listened to Harvey. "Your business is beyond me. It might be good if you really want to go to Grand City. Anyway, I'm here for something else. I heard when Geoffrey came looking for you last night, the people from Sky Plane came over too?"Harvey nodded. "Yeah."Samuel went on calmly, "Harvey. In your view, what's the chance of this being a coincidence?"Harvey frowned. "Are you saying that it's not a coincidence for them to be here? That someone wanted to use Sky Plane to kill me?"Samuel sighed. "That depends if the perpetrator knows your true identity or not. If he did, then what was his true goal in using Sky Plane to kill you? If he didn't and simply wanted to kill you for what happened at the Forbidden Wasteland not long ago, then from a certain angle, it's quite disgusting. I'm quite speechless that a powerful entity like Grand City would do that."Samuel's seemingly casual banter carried a hint of seriousness."No matter what ha
After Harvey and Samuel finished talking, Harvey didn't ask Samuel to stay for dinner. Instead, Samuel took Harvey to the Dragon Gate's branch in Wolsing.The branch was built with a classical look in mind. While it wasn't that big, one could see that every spot had been meticulously crafted. However, Samuel didn't take Harvey to visit every place in detail. Instead, he took Harvey deep into the branch's restricted area.Deep within the branch's restricted area was a small building. It was forged from steel, and it was something that would be difficult through force. When they reached the stairs, Samuel didn't walk forward. He simply extended his hand, indicating to Harvey to go first.Harvey gave him a strange look but still entered the building.Very quickly, they arrived at the top spot. It was about 500 square feet and was quite spacious. Aside from a bed deep, there was a simple desk. And before that desk sat Lanny, who was playing chess by herself.The woman who used to be
