After Camellia had made Harvey feel disgusted the whole day, a clean slap on her face was more than enough to lift Harvey's mood. Most importantly, Harvey knew Camellia would not dare tell anyone about the slap after he did it.While she could use this against him, since he was never interested in becoming the Mayor of Grand City, all her moves would be meaningless. Her hesitation and delay would simply make it counterproductive. By the time the swelling on her face had disappeared, what was the point if the word got out?Who could prove that the slap was not part of the flirting, and he did actually hit her?Not to mention that if the word did get out, it might be beneficial for him. It would send a clear message to the Belladonna Cult. No matter what Wenzel was thinking at that time, once he figured out the incident, he would understand that Harvey actually fell for Camellia's scheme.After settling the matter, Harvey waved his hand, hailing a cab. Despite being a busy area, Harv

It was clear when the men showed up, they had only one thought in their minds. That they had Harvey cornered. But to their surprise, not only were they unable to do a thing to Harvey, but they also lost three men during the very first exchange.With that realization, the people on the truck all ducked down and used the truck's metal railing as cover. They raised their crossbows and kept on firing.Dense whistling filled the air.This time, not all bolts had Thunderblasts tied to them. Only a few bolts carried those terrifying weapons on them. It was not exactly good news, as it simply made their attack even harder to predict.After all, there was no doubt that they only had some Thunderblasts, but they still had plenty of arrows. If they used up all the Thunderblasts at once, Harvey would not have to worry about the regular arrows.But what they did made Harvey more cautious.With that thought in mind, Harvey decided not to prolong the fight. He wanted to strike hard and fast. He

Harvey squinted his eyes as he looked at Gilmat. "Did she poison me?"Gilmat shook his head. "Not poison. Poison is meaningless for an elite like you. However, she had been playing some hypnotic tune as she drove you. With the constant jolting, even if you were made of steel, you would become a little fatigued. On top of that, you should also have spent some of your energy dealing with my subordinates. In short, you're no longer at your peak condition. You'll at most have access to around 70 or 80 percent of your full power."I feel bad having to kill you in this condition, because it's unfair to you. But I really want to kill you. I must apologize to you, even if I'm doing this for the School of Divine Sword."Harvey smiled. "You've been explaining your plans because you're delaying, aren't you? Waiting for your assassins to finish setting up their formations so I can't escape. Why are you so afraid that I can escape? Don't tell me you never actually received any orders from the Sc

"Incredible… This is incredible! No wonder you were able to crush the Country I's prodigies despite your age! No wonder you can destroy all the Island Nation's Six Schools in one fell swoop! No wonder even Sky Plane's Origin martial arts are continuously having trouble with you, to the point that even someone like Sverker died in your hands!" Gilmat said in awe."You're not just a True Warrior… no, you're at the peak of True Warrior! Everyone believed that you're simply another typical True Warrior. No one expected you to keep this much strength hidden. If you have reached such a level at your age, why didn't you show off a bit? That way, everyone knows how powerful you are, and they will give it their all when fighting you! Unlike me now, even after using everything I can to weaken you, I still find you extremely difficult to handle!"Gilmat rubbed the hilt of his sword with mixed feelings.Harvey sighed and said, "According to what you say, it's my fault for hiding my true power?

Just when Harvey's head was spinning, he saw Gilmat spit out a mouthful of blood. Then, he pulled out a dirty bottle from under his robe and drank all the dark, black liquid inside. In that moment, Gilmat's aura immediately increased several times over. Even his eyes became bloodshot, and the veins on his face bulged.Then, his figure blurred as he launched another sword strike mid-air. Both his power and speed were at least 30 percent stronger than before. If it were clear that he would be fighting Harvey at a disadvantage earlier, he seemed to be able to gain a slight advantage this time around.Harvey's fist and Gilmat's sword collided again, and the two of them passed by each other once more. They traded the spots where they had just stood some moments ago.Harvey shook his hands slightly and calmly said, "You finally have the strength to face me now, but it's still useless. Your chances of winning are still zero."Gilmat smiled. "Do you think I'll surrender just after you said
