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

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

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

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.

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
