"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
When Lanny heard the word "pick-up girl", she couldn't help but smile bitterly. "There's something I need to inform you first. Not long ago, I've already been removed from White Peak's registrar. Dan also sent someone to inform me that from now on, we walk separate paths. We have nothing to do with each other anymore."As for what happened to the Forbidden Wasteland, I'll have to bear sole responsibility, especially about the fact that I accepted the wager. I will have to bear responsibility for all of Grand City's losses. In other words, I was abandoned. Perhaps, once I fell asleep tonight, I would never be able to wake up. "I've revealed all of this to you… Now, you should believe me that the reason I'm looking for you is not to waste your time, right?"Harvey raised his eyebrow. He knew that Grand City might abandon Lanny, but he didn't expect them to do it so decisively. Lanny was basically a persona non grata now.Of course, this was the best choice for Grand City. Not only
Harvey left the building a few minutes later, his hands behind his back. As he was leaving, Lanny stared at him with narrowed her eyes. After he left, Samuel appeared in front of her in the building."So?" he asked curiously. "Did you achieve your goal after I let you meet Harvey? Do you think you can use him for your revenge? Do you think you can make Dan regret the fact he abandoned you?"He then picked up a cup of tea from the table and took a sip as he continued casually, "Unfortunately, even I can't use someone like Harvey. Do you think a prisoner like you can use him after meeting him just once?"Lanny glanced at him. "You wanted to use Harvey to cause chaos in Grand City too, didn't you? Otherwise, you wouldn't have let me see him. But… After seeing him, I believe both you and I will be disappointed."Samuel looked at her, curious. "Why did you say that?""You want to use Harvey to drag Grand City down from its throne. I want to use Harvey to make my vengeance a reality.
