“Looks like I have no choice but to take action


    myself.”


    Akio Yashiro let out a sigh before showing a cold gaze.


    He then picked up his cup of tea and said, “Let’s have a toast with tea. Here’s to you being as ignorant


    as ever.”


    Harve


    Harvey York then poured himself a cup of tea.


    “Here’s to you being oblivious about my true power,” replied Harvey.


    Murderous intent could be felt exuding from both of them when their eyes locked. After raising their cups


    slightly, they gulped their tea down in a single go.


    After seeing Harvey drinking the tea without any hesitation, a yful look was showing on Akio’s face.


    “You’re brave enough to drink my tea as soon as youe in…


    “Are you not scared of me poisoning it?”


    “Didn’t you do that already?” Harvey replied.


    “You’re only waiting for it to take effect. That’s why you’ve been nagging me this entire time.


    “It’s a shame that I must disappoint you, Sword Saint.”


    Harvey fought on the battlefield before. Naturally, he came across all sorts of poison during that time.

    point to that anyway.


    Akio was surprised.

    “The ones poisoned by this will lose all strength in a short amount of time before permanently ending up

    “But, judging from how you look right now, you’ re not affected by the poison at all!


    “What a waste of my fine poison!


    “How are you immune? Do you care to enlighten


    me?”


    Akio tried to stall for more time after seeing that the poison was not working as intended.


    Harvey calmly chuckled.


    “I can tell you, but you need to answer me something first.


    “The Shindan Way is one of the Six Schools of Martial Arts back in the Ind Nations…

    “But why are you still willing to be controlled by Vince York? You’re obviously scared of me, but why are


    you stilling for me?


    “You don’t need money.


    “Nor are youcking authority.


    “So, what is it that makes you obligated to go


    against me?”


    Akio’s pupils shrunk after hearing Harvey’s


    words. The gaze in his eyes was filled with rage.


    He then coldly chuckled before he replied, “You’ re the one who caused all this, Sir York!


    “If you didn’t destroy our establishment back in Mordu…


    “Why would I even let someone order me around?!”


    “I see now.”


    Harvey sighed.

    “You people never stopped trying to destroy Country H.


    “You failed to upy a bridgehead from Mordu, so you came here to do that instead!


    “That b*stard, Vince, would ept any deal so he can rise to power, even if he has to betray his own

    “You deserve death after all! Vince is no different!”


    Akio coldly chuckled.

    “Even if you beg for it, you won’t even get the chance to do the same!”


    “To serve the Emperor? Is he even worthy?” retorted Harvey.
