Nick hastily got up from the ground.He was livid and humiliated. He took out his phone and pressed the dial button.“Brother Fly, it’s me, Nick!”“I was beaten by a street vendor in the pedestrian street!”“This is your turf. You must come and give me justice!”Everyone’s expressions changed when they heard Brother Fly’s name.After a while, someone could not help saying, “Hey, boss. This Brother Fly you mentioned, could he be the big boss of the pedestrian street?”“You’re quite knowledgeable. Yeah, it’s that Brother Fly!”“Brother Fly is one of the big bosses on the streets. He watches over the pedestrian street!”“He’s my big brother!”Nick had a triumphant expression on his face.Many people’s expressions changed drastically at this statement. As of this moment, some of the street vendors’ complexions were extremely awful.A few kind stall owners couldn’t help but exclaim, “Girl, hurry up and go!”“Brother Fly isn’t that simple! Everyone who sets up a stall here has t
Brother Fly sneered, “Setting up a stall on my turf without paying the protection fee? Interesting!”“It’s been a long time since I met a person who has some balls!”As he spoke, he spat on the ground. He said indifferently, “Brat, lick my spit clean! Kneel on the ground when you talk to me!”“Or else, I’ll cut off all your limbs today!”Nick and his subordinates sneered.Nick glared at Harvey and added, “Brat, did you hear that? Hurry up and get on your knees!”“If you behave now, Brother Fly might not kill you!”“If you don’t, I’m afraid you won’t be able to even crawl out later!”Harvey watched as Nick continued acting like a clown, utterly indifferent and unmoved. Mandy quickly stepped in front of Harvey and blocked him, whispering, “Harvey, these people are from the streets. We can’t afford to provoke them.”She apologized to Brother Fly, saying, “Brother Fly, we’re new here. We still don’t know the rules.”“I’m not sure how much we need to pay, but I’ll settle the fee
Brother Fly’s mistress, Becca Day, giggled quietly.“Darling, this man’s acting so arrogant! Hedoesn’t even bat an eye at you.”“He doesn’t know what’s good for him!”Hearing these words, Brother Fly’s gaze turned ice-cold.He had been around Pedestrian Street for so many years. Even if the first-in-command of the police station in the area were to bump into him, they’d have to pay him respect.Who would’ve imagined this hothead who showed up out of nowhere would be this disrespectful?He even told Brother Fly to kneel inside a trash can? What a joke!“I’m warning you one more time. Kneel and lick my spit clean!” Brother Fly demanded, laughing coldly. The whole place fell into dead silence. Everyone around dared not utter a single word. They didn’t even have the courage to breathe.All of them could sense that Brother Fly was truly livid.In Pedestrian Street, enraging Brother Fly would do no one any good.Only Harvey remained as still as a rock, his face also as cold as
“Mr. York, are you insane? Do you know who Brother Fly’s boss is? Do you even have the guts to accept his apology even if he did come here?”“That man is a true master in this line of work! With just a snap of his fingers, he could do whatever he wants! Yet you want a man like that to bow down to you?”“What are you thinking? You’re just a live-in son-in-law setting up a street stall! Are you even worthy?”Nick Lachey and the rest jabbed their fingers at Harvey and rebuked him. Naturally, they had never encountered a person who was this oblivious about the good and bad.Mandy was a bundle of nerves.‘Demanding the boss to show up and apologize to me?’‘What’s Harvey thinking?’‘Isn’t he just trying to get us killed?’Mandy panicked and pulled out her phone. Trembling, she sent Keith and Finn Yates a text.Under these circumstances, although Mandy really didn’t want to resort to begging, she was afraid that Harvey would be beaten to death by Brother Fly and his lackeys if she d
Watching Harvey’s arrogance, a bloodthirsty smile appeared on Brother Fly’s face.“You’re finished, kid!”“When my boss shows up, you’ll understand the true meaning of death!”“It’s not just you! I won’t let your wife off the hook either!”Harvey didn’t reply. He casually picked up a steel pipe and immediately swung it at Brother Fly’s face.“Argh!”Brother Fly let out an unintelligible wail as a mouthful of teeth sprayed out.He glared at Harvey, his eyes flashing with anger. He wanted to threaten Harvey, but dared not open his mouth for fear of Harvey hitting him again.To the watching crowd, Harvey was finished.This whole mess couldn’t be fixed by simply crippling him anymore. Mandy was so frightened, she was on the verge of tears. She never imagined that her husband would be this rash!Even if the Yateses did show up to help, settling this problem won’t be easy. Mandy grabbed Harvey’s hand and pleaded, “Darling, let’s leave quickly. Let’s get out of Buckwood and re
A few minutes later, van after van stopped at the roadside of Pedestrian Street. Crowds of men then rushed out. Seeing this, Brother Fly brightened.Even Nick Lachey and his lackeys were exhilarated.Soon, a large group of men were present.They were all dressed in black suits, tall and strong. It was obvious that they were fighters at first glance.The man leading them was a middle-aged man wearing a suit, he looked extraordinary at first sight.He was none other than Buckwood’s well-renowned head, Master Caesar.Master Caesar and his man moved to the front of the crowd and fell into shock. It was especially evident when they spotted Brother Fly kneeling in front of Harvey.“Boss, save me! This man actually hit me! He’s not even paying you any respect!” Seeing his savior, Brother Fly couldn’t help but speak. But then he saw Master Caesar immediately rushing toward Harvey, saying, “Are you alright?”His men were all bowing with their hands folded. They dared not spare a sin
Brother Fly was not the only one. Everyone else was just as bewildered.The way they looked at Harvey changed.What happened?Even Mandy was at a loss.She did ask the Yates family for help.Maybe the Yateses were actually quite powerful? Perhaps a phone call alone was enough to pressure Master Caesar?Thinking about it, this was expected. The Yateses controlled South Light’s police force, coincidentally making them a mobster’s worst enemy. Perhaps Harvey too understood this fact, which explained why he was acting so unscrupulously.Just then, another group of men stepped forth. The man leading the group was none other than Tyson Woods.“This…this is the new king of South Light’s streets, Tyson Woods!”“Right, that’s him! Why did he come here?!”Everyone gasped. To think a trivial matter like this could actually provoke a major figure like him to show up! Tyson didn’t care for the others and swiftly rushed toward Harvey. He automatically asked, “Sir York, are you alright?
The two jogged toward Harvey.Yoel Graham couldn’t help but let out a huge sigh of relief when he saw that Harvey was fine.Yannick Bisson immediately bowed in front of Harvey.The sight shocked the crowd utterly and completely.Who was Harvey York?!Why were these powerful people being so respectful toward him?!Especially Buckwood’s first-in-command, Yoel Graham!A major figure like him actually showed up!What did this mean?This meant that the live-in son-in-law had immensely powerful authority!Everyone’s gazes at Harvey changed. Some even started to fear him.Before, in everyone’s eyes, he was a mere live-in son-in-law who only knew how to be a kept husband. Suddenly, he changed into a major figure with a mysterious identity.Mandy’s face reflected complete disbelief. Did the Yateses really do this much for her and Harvey?She could understand why Master Caesar showed up. She could comprehend why Tyson Woods showed up, and she could even acknowledge why Yannick Bis
"You're someone who has experience, too. You know that you'll need at least three hours to prepare to get this many military helicopters deployed. It's not something that you can do in an instant. It means that while you're still fighting with Sora and his men, Isoroku has been standing by in this place."Not to mention that we Fujiharas will never work with them before getting what we want. Which means that the Origin Sword Style elites already knew that you will most likely survive even if you're at a disadvantage. That's why they've been staying here for a long time."While everyone knew that Kenta was probably just spewing nonsense, Clarion was still partially convinced when he heard how Kenta made his argument sound plausible. Could it be that Kenta was not the one pulling the strings here?Harvey narrowed his eyes and waved his hand. "At the very least, Kenta's right about his social standing being insufficient to work with Isoroku. Not to mention that now that they have obtai
At this time, the helicopter was passing through rows of mountains and valleys. This area was uninhabited. After passing through this uninhabited area, one would arrive at the Golden Triangle. Once one passed through the Golden Triangle, one would reach Hyperborea and finally Grand City.It was around this time that Harvey could feel a burst of murderous intent."Crap! Everyone, brace yourselves!" Clarion suddenly yelled as he looked in front of him from the front seats. He even took out a cigarette, lit it up, and took a deep huff to increase his mental focus as his expression darkened.Harvey quickly walked over to the front and narrowed his eyes. Then, he saw a swarm of helicopters flying in mid-air in a tight formation. Harvey looked at the flag on the helicopters with a smirk and gave Kenta a glance. "This is your so-called guarantee?"Kenta's expression also darkened as he looked in front in disbelief. After a while, he finally spoke in a shaky voice, "Forget about the helico
Daichi had already checked the Chapter of Ascension earlier back in Grand City, but he could not leave with it. Only after Harvey gave his green light would Rachel pass the Chapter of Ascension to Daichi.Harvey gave Kenta a look and then pulled out his phone and dialed a number. "Pass him the thing and escort him out."Harvey was straight-faced when he said that. While he had read it through, he did not believe that the Chapter of Ascension would really allow one to reach Unity between Nature and Man. It was not that Harvey was underestimating Hale, but as a martial art elite himself, he knew very well that there were many things required an epiphany to comprehend, and not just some so-called Chapter of Ascension.If that thing was really as effective as people said, Hale would not be hunted for more than a decade. In no time, a few hours went by. Kenta picked up his phone and after listening to the other side, he smiled. "You really are an honest man. Working with you is a very pl
Kenta continued to speak to Harvey in a chatty manner. "Everyone here can see how powerful you are. Unless we can kill you without any doubt, we won't be able to survive your revenge later on. That's why… You can trust me."Harvey looked at Kenta coldly. "Of course you won't be able to kill me. However, I need to make sure Mandy and my men are safe. That's why there's no need to waste your breath here."All you need to do is to give me an answer. Will you come with us? Before we leave, someone will let Daichi examine the Chapter of Ascension. Once we've left Sky Plane for about an hour, that person will then pass the Chapter of Ascension to Daichi. Don't worry. I'm a man of my word."Kenta smiled. "We'll believe you if you're willing to personally guarantee it. It's decided then. I believe we can work well together. Now, let's go."As soon as Kenta finished saying that, he waved his hand. All the Islander elites stepped aside despite the weapons in their hands. This was also a way
Slap!Harvey gave another slap at Jun's face."So what if I did? I'll kill you if you waste anymore of my time!" Before Jun could even finish, Harvey had already grabbed him by his neck. Onmyojis are physically weaker than most, so Jun could not fight back at all while being held like that."You fool! Release Mr. Jun!""Mr. Jun is one of the best among the onmyojis in Sky Plane!""Don't show any disrespect!"All the Islanders roared when they saw Harvey disrespected Jun so much. They quickly drew their long swords and pointed them at Harvey. Dozens of people also started to approach Mandy. Clarion and the others also reacted quickly, protecting Mandy behind them. The atmosphere between both sides became extremely tense in just one moment.Harvey's hand never released Jun's throat as he calmly turned to Kenta and said, "Alright, Kenta. Let's continue the discussion of our three conditions. The first condition is that you must escort us out of Sky Plane and guarantee our safety. A
"You really are very impressive, Kenta. It's quite rare for someone like you to exist within the Fujihara family," commented Harvey after he took a deep breath and loosened his fists. "I have a feeling that someone like you will eventually climb up the ladder. Who knows, you might be the next Island Nation's Emperor."All the Islanders around them had strange looks after they heard what Harvey had just said. Even Kenta's eyes twitched before he replied helplessly, "You're joking, Mr. Harvey. I'm just someone from the branch family. The emperor's throne has always belonged to the main branch and the main branch alone."Then, Kenta changed the subject after that. "Since it sounds like you have a change of mind, does it mean you're willing to fulfill your part of the promise?"Harvey calmly said, "Not exactly. This is just a simple trade, and so is the trade's content. I'll give you the Chapter of Ascension, and you promise three things. That's reasonable…"At this point, the mysterio
Looking at Kenta's expression, Harvey's eyes narrowed. The Islanders could become fanatical most of the time, and he knew that very well from how Kenta was presenting himself. Their people believed in collectivism to the point of radicalism. One single word from their superiors was enough to make them sacrifice themselves and fight to the bitter end, not to mention if they were convinced if it was for the greater good.In short, if he really refused to give them the Chapter of Ascension, then Kenta would really give up on this pretentious act and detonate the Emerald Jewel. However, while the Emerald Jewel could injure him, he knew it could not kill him. But, Mandy and the others were another case entirely. If the Emerald Jewel was detonated, none of them could escape.Harvey frowned, realizing that the situation was getting more complicated."Mr. Harvey, you understand that the Chapter of Ascension isn't worth the lives of the people here. Not to mention if you do manage to obtain
"Firstly, this is Sky Plane. This is the Sacred Martial Art Training Ground for the Island Nation. Based on the promise made between each of the Sacred Training Grounds, we can consider one as hostile if they enter without an invitation. That's why when you barged into this place without invitation and were suspected of murdering the citizens of Sky Plane, we have the right to stop you from leaving the place and investigate."Secondly, Mr. Sora is a citizen of Sky Plane. It is within reason for us to protect his safety. Thirdly, Grand City will need to give us a reasonable explanation for this."And finally, if any of you refuse to cooperate, then according to the laws of Sky Plane's Admin Board, we have the right to kill all the intruders!" said Kenta with a wide grin."I know you're extremely strong, Mr. Harvey. So strong that you're the best here. But the question is, what's the use if you have personal strength in this situation? Even if you can defeat a hundred, can you defeat
"Mr. Harvey, I know how powerful you are and how invincible you can be. I also have a lot of respect toward you and wouldn't dare show you any insolence," explained Kenta with a harmonious smile. "However, I need to negotiate with you as it's part of my duties. I hope you can calm down so we can talk."First of all, Ms. Mandy is alright. While it looks like you have to come and save her, you need to trust me when I said if it's not for our effort, the men from Origin Sword Style wouldn't have waited until today. With their powers, if we didn't try and stop them with everything we can, Ms. Mandy would be a corpse now. You have to give credit where credit is due, don't you think? I believe someone of your caliber won't deny it, right?"Secondly, I can swear by the name of the Ruling Royal Family that everything that happened today had nothing to do with us. Since we have decided to make a trade with you, we won't stab you in the back. Our conscience is clear when it's regarding this."
