Harvey York’s Rise To Power Chapter 3701

Chapter 3701

“That said, if this is really the potion we’re talking about, the only way Amber Levine and the others turned this way is because they ingested something.

“But the disciples of Longmen’s Law Enforcement are in charge of everything we eat and drink here. There’s no way they’d suddenly turn against us either.

“Did they eat or drink anything that the outsiders brought in?”

“The outsiders brought in…?”

Layne Naiswell’s expression changed.

“Tea…”

“What?”

Harvey York instinctively looked over.

Layne’s expression instantly worsened.

“About the people who came to apologize. The mean woman poured three cups of tea for the young talents while kneeling on the ground.

“She said that drinking the tea would mean that they forgave her. If they didn’t drink the tea, she’d keep kneeling on the ground forever…

“But the tea leaves and the water are ours. How…?”

Harvey’s face darkened before he let out a huge sigh.

“It’ll be extremely easy for them to poison those three.

“For example, they could’ve soaked their hands in the Life Elixir for hours and just dipped their fingers in the tea without anyone even noticing.”

Layne started wavering around the place.

“This was my fault, Sir York. I wanted you to have a good relationship with the Golden Palace. After all, I’m a part of them…

“That was why I gave them a chance to come in…

“This was all my fault…”

Layne had no idea how to explain the situation.

But if she could not figure out what happened, Harvey would think she was a spy working with the Golden Palace.

“I trust you.

Harvey looked deeply into Layne’s eyes.

“Everyone knows that Amber and the others are involved in the country’s fight.

“Nobody sane would poison them and ruin the country’s reputation.

“Don’t worry about this. They’re not in a terrible state just yet. I have something that I can do.

“That said, I’d need about ten days to a few weeks to wake them up.”

Harvey heaved a sigh. He had seen many people in a similar state during the Euro–American war

That said, still, a lot of time was needed.

“Ah! That’s good!”

Layne felt relieved…

But her expression changed again.

“But if it takes that long, what will happen to the fight tomorrow?

“We don’t have a chance if the three young talents are out of commission!”

Harvey patted Layne’s shoulder with a faint smile.

“That’s fine. I can fight in their stead anyway.

“I promise you. I’ll definitely crush those people.

“That said, I’m going to need your help tonight.”

Layne showed a joyous look before she froze.

“What is it?”

“Take me to the Golden Palace!“]

Harvey’s calm expression was filled with murderous intent.

“I need them to give me a fair statement about the situation.

“If they don’t give me a good one, I’ll consider them traitors of the country…

“Then, anybody will have the right to punish them!”

Everyone was surprised!

‘Harvey’s going to the Golden Palace?!”

This is extremely bad!‘

Harvey York’s Rise To Power Chapter 3700

Chapter 3700

Harvey York frowned. He could tell that this was the Indians doing without even doing any investigation

Safe to say that they were extremely scheming, carrying out two underhanded tactics simultaneously

That said, Harvey knew Axel Garcia would not dare kill off Amber Levine and the others to prevent the people of Country H from cursing him. After all, this would be too obvious.

That was why Harvey was not that worned

“Did anyone suspicious go to the Martial Hall today asked Harvey after giving a thought about the situation

“Not really, but those troublemakers from the Golden Palace did.

“Though, they weren’t here to cause trouble. They came to apologize to Amber and the others

“The mean woman even groveled right in front of the three

“The Golden Palace”

Harvey frowned. He instantly knew that something was wrong

After all, they picked such a peculiar time to visit

Harvey quickly called a cab before heading back to the Martial Hall.

Harvey arrived before thirty minutes passed. The air here was extremely tense. Even the disciples of Longmen’s Law Enforcement who were in charge of guarding the place showed serious expressions on their faces.

They knew there would be no chance of winning the fight the next day if Amber and the others stayed in deep sleep.

Harvey lightly nodded at everyone before quickly heading to the backyard

Rudolph and his team set up an emergency room there. The entire place was filled with constantly blinking equipment.

Amber and the others lay in their sickbeds while Rudolph showed a serious expression.

“Sir York, they’re all in deep sleep! We can’t wake them up at all exclaimed Rudolph after seeing Harvey’s arrival

“I used every piece of advanced instrument to confirm that their body readings were normal.

“if there are no accidents, they’ll continue sleeping…

“For the rest of their lives.”

Harvey frowned and waved his hand before walking toward Amber and the others.

The three seemed quite peaceful. Nothing odd could be seen on them. Ruddy complexions were

also showing on their faces.

Harvey felt like he had seen symptoms like this before.

Shock was showing on his face after a moment.

“The Celestial Temple’s Life Elor?

“Life Elixir?”

Everyone nearby was confused. They had no idea what that thing was

Harvey took a deep breath

“The Life Elixir isn’t poison. The Celestial Temple spent thousands of years creating a potion that could prolong life

“The potion has no taste. It’s not harmful either

“But the people who ingest it would fall asleep instantly. Their body would function on a minimal level as if they were hibernating

“According to the Celestial Temple, people who drink the potion would be able to live a dozen years longer. The benefits of this are boundless.

said, there is a huge price to pay Whoever drinks the potion becomes a vegetable

“It’s said that the monks from India would drink this before they die turning themselves into this state before they’re painted gold

The crowd was shocked after hearing Harvey’s explanation

“Why does something like this exist? This is no different than being dead!

“Rather this is way worse?

Harvey York’s Rise To Power Chapter 3699

Chapter 3699

“Alright. That’s enough for today, Maiden Garcia.

“Go back and tell Axel Garcia something for me

“Schemes don’t work like this. If he wants to make empty promises, at least show the real stuff first

“People aren’t stupid nowadays.

“I have had no interest in your offer since the beginning, but I am interested in you.

Harvey York held Zoe Garcia’s hand quietly before taking back his card with a profound smile

“Maiden Garcia, some of the things you’re promising me are just too good to be true. Those things are simply out of reach.

“But not the Martial Hall

“We’ll still welcome you with open arms when you’re ready!

“I don’t go back on my word.

Then, Harvey chuckled before walking away.

Zoe’s mouth twitched when she was utterly enraged. She quietly put her hand back in her bag Soon after

A card slipped out without a sound.

Right when Harvey retrieved his card, he snuck another into Zoe’s hand.

Zoe glanced at the Black Card in the corner of her eye with a hesitant look.

After completely ignoring Zoe’s struggle to make a decision, Harvey left the Asan Hotel. He gave Fisher Benett a call to report his meeting with her to prevent anyone from making a big fuss about

this

Safe to say that Harvey had no interest in anything the Indians were offering.

If he did, Axel would already have him by the throat.

Not only would Harvey not get anything in the end, but his reputation would also be completely ruined for good.

After what happened that night, Harvey was a bit more cautious toward the Indians’ intelligence- gathering skills.

The offers Harvey had gotten were all specifically tailored to him.

This meant they had sources within Country H to gather such details.

Without a second thought, Harvey sent George Zabel a text so he could look into the situation.

He then texted Queenie York in Hong Kong and Las Vegas to go to India with Yoana Mendoza.

He only wanted to provoke Axel using Zoe so the infighting could continue a little while longer But since Axel played dirty, Harvey would not mind winning Zoe over to infuriate him.

When Harvey was done arranging things, he received another call.

Layne Naiswell was the one who called. Her anxious tone could be heard as soon as Harvey picked up.

“This is bad! Something happened to Amber and the others!”

Harvey’s eyes twitched.

“What happened?” asked Harvey instinctively

“I’m not sure! They passed out while they were having their dinners!

Layne’s voice was extremely shaky at this moment.

“I asked Mr. Rudolph to bring his team as soon as possible, but even they couldn’t figure out what happened

“Mr Rudolph said that they’re in a deep sleep!

“Nothing can wake them up!”

Layne was showing a horrible expression.

This was the most crucial moment of the battle between Longmen and the Indians.

Longmen only needed three more wins to chase the Indians away.

But Amber and the others were in trouble all of a sudden.

This meant that they were most likely unable to fight.

If that were the case, the Indians would have a chance to make a comeback.

After all, nobody knew just how strong the three top talents were since they had never shown their strengths before

Chapter 3698

Zoe Garcia froze.

Harvey York’s words startled her In her mind, Harvey would have firmly rejected the offer.

She quickly regained her smile before quietly replying, “Of course!

“That said, I’m still not ready yet. Why don’t we get some time after tomorrow, Sir York?”

Harvey seemed a little annoyed after hearing Zoe’s words.

“Are you going back on your word now?” asked Harvey coldly after taking a deep breath.

“You’re making me work without me getting anything in return?

“Of course, I need something good first before getting to work!

“If you don’t want to do it right now, we can do this another way!

“Here’s my card. Give me my money first!

“You don’t have to worry about me running away either!

“After all, I’m more interested in you!

“I’m craving for your body already!”

Harvey pulled out his bank card before slipping it into Zoe’s hand.

Zoe’s smile instantly froze. Everything that Harvey did had completely caught her off guard.

In her mind, Harvey would decline the offer entirely, maybe even be utterly enraged.

But instead, the man in front of him was greedy and perverted.

“It’s… a little late for that.

“It’ll also be hard for us to move that much money under such short notice.

Zoe forced a smile on her face.

“But don’t worry! As long as you do as you’re told, we’ll get you the money immediately after!

“You won’t get a single dime less!”

Harvey’s smile disappeared from his face.

“Do you think I’m a three-year-old child or something?

“If mighty India is planning to give me the title of Brahmin, then you’re obviously trying to get me to your side.

“And yet you’re not willing to spend the night with me…

“Nor are you going to transfer me the money!

“Do you think you can just reap the benefits without paying the price?

“You’re not planning to sell me out after I do your job for you, right?”

Zoe’s eyes twitched before she forced her smile harder

“What are you saying, Sir York? We’re trustworthy people

“Trustworthy?

Harvey smirked

“If that were the case, you wouldn’t have prepared something like this in the first place” Harvey reached out and pulled the brooch off Zoe’s gown before lightly pinching i

Electronics fell out of the brooch after it was snapped in half. It was a pinhole camera

After turning the electronics to dust, Harvey casually took Zoe’s phone from the table and snapped it in half

“You’re pulling all these tricks in front of me

“But you’re only planning to frame me, aren’t you?

“You’d still upload the conversation online whether I accept your offer or not

“All you need to do is just cut up the footage and do some voice-overs before I turn into the most hated man in all of Country

“You people are really sly!

“Not only are you trying to make me lose the battle, but you also want my reputation to be ruined for years to come

Harvey quickly pulled off a few elegantly disguised cameras around Zoe’s body

Zoe was showing a horrible look on her face when the final camera was pulled off

Chapter 3697

“Your strength and abilities are definitely worthy of those rewards!”

Zoe Garcia showed a sweet smile.

“Of course, to show that you’re willing to become one of us, I’ll need a little proof from

“After all, all 1.3 billion people in India are dying to be Brahmins.

you

“Since India’s willing to sacrifice so much for you, you should at least make them understand that you’re worth this much, right?

“If not, how are you going to please the crowd?

“Proof?”

Harvey York showed a faint smile

“Don’t tell me it’s about tomorrow’s fight

“Smart man, Sir York. You got me.

Zoe smiled.

“Master Garcia said that if Amber Levine and the others lose their fights tomorrow.

“We’ll give you the money and the badge on the spot!

“Your other rewards will be prepared immediately after

“At the same time, we’ll prepare a private jet for you to travel to our mighty country!

“If you want to bring your friends and family along, we can arrange that as well!

“We’ll ensure that you live comfortably for the rest of your life!

“If you don’t want people to know about this, we’ll also keep quiet!

“Everyone will only think of Longmen and Country H as inferior!

“They won’t know about your achievements if that’s what you wish for!”

Zoe’s cleavage was getting closer and closer to Harvey at this moment.

“Sir York, it’ll be easy for you to do whatever you want to Amber and the others since they trust you fully

“As long as you nod, I’ll be yours for the night!”

“Are you only asking me to deal with Amber and the others?” asked Harvey curiously.

“You must be forgetting something

“I can deal with them all I want, but I haven’t been inside the ring either!

“I can take out every single one of your top talents myself after reaping your benefits.”

“You’re joking.”

Zoe cracked a smile as she stared at Harvey, full of admiration.

“As long as you take out those three, you’ll be one of us.

“Why even fight us at that point?

“You won’t get anything out of it anyway.

“Of course, if you’re going to do just that, we’ll blame ourselves for being unlucky.

“But based on my observation, I know you’re not that narrow-minded!

“After all, ten billion dollars and the title of Brahmin are the most important things, are they not?”

Zoe showed a tender look, as if she completely trusted Harvey.

It was as if she would give up her body as long as Harvey agreed to the deal.

Harvey showed a faint smile without giving an answer

He knew full well that those people would not just trust him, considering their despicable attitude.

The so-called meeting was also just a setup.

After squinting at the enchanting woman, Harvey’s eyes lit up before he showed a faint smile.

“Since you’re being this generous, I’ll accept your offer!

“I’ll put Amber and the others out of commission tomorrow!

“But first, let me have what I want

Harvey quickly held onto Zoe’s hand before he caressed it.

“You wouldn’t mind that, would you?”

Chapter 3696

Chapter 3696

“I’ll get to that.”

Zoe Garcia showed a warm smile before bringing a golden box from under the table and pushing it toward Harvey York.

Her jacket slipped away from her, revealing her tender-looking shoulders while pushing the box.

Then, she leaned over, as if she did not realize anything that was happening.

“Sir York, India’s royal family wishes you to join our ranks!” said Zoe in a soft tone.

“The royal family will make you a Brahmin if you do!

“The future generations of your family will have the same treatment!”

Harvey squinted after hearing those words.

These people are quite something…

The Indians knew that Harvey was not short of money. That was why they were using the title as a bargaining chip.

Zoe, Axel Garcia, Cody Garcia, and Frankie Garcia were only Kshatriyas..

And yet they offered Harvey a higher position than all of them.

Simply put, if Harvey agreed to the deal, he could make anyone in India kneel!

He would even be on par with the prince of India. The future generations of his family would be able to be married into the royal family!

Ordinary people would not be able to resist such a title…

Typically speaking, if one were not born with the title, it would be impossible for them to earn it their entire lives.

At this point, accepting the Indians’ offer was no different than being reborn.

“Other than that, to make sure that you live the rest of your life without worry, we’ll also give your ten billion dollars worth of settlement fees.

“In addition, we’ll have three hundred acres worth of land in the country’s prime area under your name

“The Three Great Temples of India: the Celestial Temple, the Thousand Temple, and the Iron Temple will hire you as their Dharma Elder!

“Your status will surpass the Three Demon Monks soon enough!”

Zoe leaned forward, revealing her cleavage as she spoke in a tender and loving tone. “You’ll be able to do whatever you want in India…

“Fame, status, riches, women. Anything you want!

“Just like you said, I can’t even make fifteen million dollars my entire life in India!

“But you can’t have a title like this in Country H either…

Then, Zoe slowly opened the box before a golden badge labeled “Brahmin” was shown inside.

She slowly caressed the badge with a fascinated expression on her face. If you just nod, you can be a new Brahmin of India!”

“You even brought this over?”

Harvey squinted at the badge

He did not reject the offer outright. He merely looked at Zoe curiously.

“I’m curious. What’s the point of offering all this to me?

“You didn’t just pay such a huge price to have me on your side, right?

“Why don’t you tell me exactly what you want?

“I’m interested in your offer, but I won’t be doing any killing.”

Zoe showed a faint smile before she touched the back of Harvey’s palm

“You underestimate yourself, Sir York!

“You should be more confident in yourself!

“For us, talents like you are the greatest wealth we can have…”

Chapter 3695

Chapter 3695

“I wouldn’t mind sacrificing for my country if you’re my target.”

Zoe Garcia showed a faint smile before gesturing, leading Harvey York into the box that had been prepared ahead of time.

Harvey sat down and picked up a teacup before returning the smile.

“I’m a good man, Maiden Garcia. That’s a little disrespectful, don’t you think?

“The honey trap won’t work.”

“Whether it’ll work or not depends on your attitude,” replied Zoe.

“My attitude?”

Harvey showed a playful look

“So, it won’t be easy for me to have a meal here?

This is obviously a trap for me…

“So, what do you want from me exactly?

“There’s no need to hold anything back. Why don’t you tell me everything instead?”

Zoe heaved a sigh with a helpless expression on her face.

“Don’t you realize why I brought you here?

“You set me up on the very first day, breaking me off from the other Indians. They’ve been doubting and isolating me since then!

“And now, after fifteen straight losses, all of them are directing their anger toward me!

“They’re all saying I ruined India, and you already bought me off!

“I know they’re all just using me to vent. The same goes for Master Garcia..

“But this isn’t even my fault in the first place!

Then, Zoe held Harvey’s hand with tears beading around her eyes.

“Aren’t you supposed to take responsibility for this?!

“Aren’t you supposed to take care of me?!”

Harvey showed a faint smile.

“I see. You’re telling me that a few words were enough to cause you this much distress?

“We work for different people, so I don’t think I can give you a statement about this.

“Of course, I can still think of a way to help for the sake of the free meal you got me, Maiden Garcia.

“If you get away from India and join Country H along with the Martial Hall, everything I said the other day will still be in effect!

“One billion and five hundred million dollars worth of annual salaries and forty percent shares. You can’t get this treatment even if you fight for eight different lifetimes in India!

“What do you say?”

Zoe let out another long sigh.

“I really do want to join you. I trust that you never go back on your word.

Zoe showed a tender expression on her face.

“That said, you should know I can’t just do whatever I want!

“I can join you without any hesitation. The Indians can come for me however they want! You’re the man who killed off Cody Garcia! It’ll be easy for you to protect a weak woman like me.

“But my family still lives in India.

“If I work under you, the Indians will surely eliminate them.

“I can’t afford to be that selfish. I can only thank you for your generosity!”

Zoe showed a helpless look on her face. She did seem like she felt bad for not being able to join Harvey.

Harvey calmly smiled.

“If that were the case, then what’s the purpose of this meal?”

Chapter 3694

Chapter 3694

Longmen also showed their appreciation.

Bryce Kennedy, who was in charge of daily necessities, sent over a lot of elixirs along with other expensive gifts.

On the one hand, this was a reward for today’s battle. On the other hand, he wished for Harvey. York and the other young talents to continue crushing the Indians as usual.

After all, the Indians were already trampling all over them in the first place.

Not only did the higher-ups from Longmen feel extremely relieved after the fights, Longmen’s reputation had also mostly been reclaimed.

They even found many ghostwriters to publicize what happened today.

After a good meal, Harvey brought Amber Levine and the others to the backyard garden.

While they were fighting in the ring, George Zabel, Kayden Balmer, and the others were not slacking off either

They used all their sources and a lot of money to find information about Danny Burton and the others.

Harvey brought over documents of the top Indian talents and got Amber and the others to read. them.

After all, those three were the most troublesome ones.

It would be extremely challenging to win the battle if they did not crush them.

During the next four days, Amber and the others fought again.

Even without Harvey doing anything, the top Indian talents were all beaten to a pulp.

Along with the first three matches, the Indians had lost fifteen consecutive matches. Only three people were left to fight.

That said, none of the three top talents even fought yet.

And on Longmen’s side, Harvey and the others did not even need to take action. They were only watching Amber and the others the entire time.

The Longmen higher-ups were exhilarated. The ghostwriters arranged in advance were fully prepared to upload clips of the matches everywhere online.

Safe to say that Longmen was finally getting a good reception after the embarrassment they had to deal with.

The martial arts world of Country H was in an uproar. They were highly impressed by Amber and the others’ talent and strength.

People also considered the three to be Longmen’s pride.

While everyone was excited about what was to come, Axel requested to postpone the fight for two days after having his pride trampled on repeatedly He wanted the others to get some rest. before they fought again.

This was not a reasonable request, but the Europe, Far East, and South Sea Martial Arts Alliance felt it was completely fine Even though people from Country H strongly opposed the idea, they had no choice but to go along with it.

Since Longmen could not do anything else about it, they decided to hire another wave of ghostwriters to make Amber and the others more well-known.

In just three days, the three became more popular than ever.

The third day seemed like the calm before the storm. At this moment, Harvey got a phone call. Then, he called a cab before coming to the Asan Hotel, located in the center of Flutwell.

It was almost evening then. The Indian-style hotel was fully booked.

A woman in a gown had been waiting for a while.

She was an exotic beauty. Not only was the makeup on her face extremely exquisite, but her teeth were also as white as ivory.

The exposed slender legs were also pulling people’s heartstrings. Any man would drool over such a sight.

The gown was perfectly fitted to such a beauty. She seemed utterly flawless.

After getting out of the cab, Harvey smiled when he saw the enchanting beauty.

“What a stunning beauty! No wonder the kings of Country H used to head west all the time!

“I’d go and visit the Maiden too, if I had the chance.”

“That said, if you’re planning to meet me at such a crucial time when it’s already this late.

“Then, this must be a honey trap, right?”

Chapter 3693

Chapter 3693

“What? Did nothing happen to the kid?”

“He can speak as usual! That punch clearly didn’t do anything!”

“Look at the replay!”

“The kid didn’t even sway one bit, let alone take a step back!”

“People who didn’t know might just think that the Indian was tickling him or something!”

“If that were actually the case, the Indian must be pretty useless then!”

“He showed off this hard, yet this is all he can do?!”

“How is he not embarrassed?! He’s so weak!”

The crowd was gossiping out a storm. They were constantly throwing insults at Niko Burton without pause

Niko’s expression instantly worsened.

He took a deep breath without saying a single word before throwing another punch at Albus Robbins.

At this moment, he was using all of his might.

He knew that the Indians could not afford to be embarrassed again.

Bam!

Along with the loud sound, Niko’s punch came in contact with Albus’ chest.

But before he could show a prideful look on his face, his body shuddered before he was sent flying away. Soon after, he slammed right outside of the ring.

“Guh!”

Niko’s face had completely lost all color before he coughed out blood.

Then, he struggled to raise his hand before he said, “You. You snuck up on me… That’s unfair.”

Albus showed an innocent look after hearing Niko’s accusations.

He did not do anything. Niko was just sent flying by his own impact!

The Indians were instantly shocked after seeing the sight.

“He lost?!”

Albus did not even lift a finger for Niko to be sent flying.

What was the point of even fighting anymore?!

The host showed an odd look on his face for a long while

“The two had a deal before, but Niko flew out of the ring and lost all strength to compete

“The judges have decided! Albus wins!”

The Longmen higher-ups were all delighted when they heard the announcement.

No matter the case, this was a good start.

After winning three rounds in a row, Longmen’s reputation was more or less reclaimed.

The citizens of Country H were on the verge of tears.

Not only did Longmen win all of their matches, but they also regained the people’s trust in their top talents.

Harvey York smiled at Axel Garcia and the others before leaving with the three young talents without joining in with the crowd.

“B*stards!

“I gave you a fair chance to fight, yet you’re here disrespecting us?!”

Axel’s face instantly darkened after seeing Harvey and the others leave.

Then, he showed a wretched look before glaring at Danny Burton and the others behind him coldly.

“We cannot lose again tomorrow!

“Since those people are this ignorant, there’s no need for us to go easy on them either!

“Stick to the plan!”

That night, people were all gathered inside the Martial Hall.

Layne Naiswell and the others were fully prepared for the occasion so that everyone could enjoy the joy of victory.

Amber Levine and the others were top talents, but they were extremely modest. Since their statuses were quite immense in their specific organizations, they had never attended such a gathering in their entire lives.

They were not used to it before but gradually eased into it.

Chapter 3692

Chapter 3692

After seeing Niko Burton’s back, Axel Garcia showed a stern look on his face.

“India’s reputation is in your hands now, Niko! Give it all you’ve got! We cannot afford to lose this!”

“Don’t worry, Master Garcia! I will not dishonor our name!” replied Niko with a cold tone.

Then, he walked to the center of the ring before coldly glaring at Harvey York and the others.

“I’ll handle this one!”

Even before Harvey could say anything, Albus Robbins showed a faint smile before he took off his shirt, revealing his bronze skin as he stepped into the ring.

He then squinted at Niko.

“Since you’re also a brute-force learner…

“I won’t go too hard on you.

“I’ll let you throw three punches at me for free! If I even take a step back, you win!”

‘What the f*ck?!

The host was flabbergasted.

What’s wrong with this kid?!

“Why would you start running your mouth even before I explain the rules?!

“You’re letting your opponent throw three punches at you?

“How much of a show-off can you be?!’

Rachel Hardy and the others from Longmen froze. They showed weird stares on their faces when they looked at Albus.

Was the kid really that confident in his strength? Or was he just pretending?

Bryce Kennedy coughed before he said, “Enough of this, Albus! You should just properly fight when you’re in the ring!

“You’re disrespecting the Indians for saying things like this!”

Axel froze before he burst out laughing.

“Nonsense, Vice Master Kennedy!

“Since this young man here is that confident, surely we can’t just decline his offer!

“Don’t hold back, Niko! Go all out!

“If you can’t move him after three punches, we’ll take the loss!

“You’re playing with fire, kid!”

Niko squinted at Albus.

He showed a disdainful look when he saw Albus doing his Iron Step.

The move was one of the main fundamentals of martial arts, but that was just about it.

Niko thought that Albus had some terrifying move that he learned.

It seemed to him like Albus had turned into an idiot after training his muscles too hard.

“Since Master Garcia said so, I’ll play with you then!

“I’ll use fifty percent of my strength this time! You better hope you can take it!”

Niko stepped forward and took a deep breath before throwing a punch right at Albus’ chest.

Bam!

A loud sound echoed while the impact of the punch reverberated throughout the place.

The tiles around Albus formed cracks resembling spider webs.

Niko was quite satisfied by the sight.

“You were still playing with dirt when I was training in the Iron Temple!

“You’re a little too young to be playing with me!

“Alright! Don’t hold it in anymore! Just spit the blood out of your mouth already!

“You lost!”

Albus remained as still as a rock.

In reality, he did not even so much as let out a breath when he curiously looked at Niko.

“You really don’t have to hold back, my friend.

“I can take it. Come at me.”

Niko froze after feeling extremely prideful. His expression changed immediately after.

He thought Albus was ready to give up after he threw such a strong punch…

But he did not expect that he would still stand there as if nothing had even happened.
