For a time, Mandy and her family fell into a tight struggle. They could only hide in their house, unable to go outside at all.Fortunately, the Ceremony of Changing Defenses of South Light’s military force would arrive two days after.Mandy and her family were only on the news for a whole day before the ceremony took over.Meanwhile, inside the Leo family’s manor… Chris Leo had prepared a gift.He called Jessie Tate over and took out the gift.“Commander Tate, what do you think about me giving this to the Head Coach tomorrow?” Chris asked, crossing his arms. Jessie glanced at it before replying, “Not bad. The Head Coach is from the military. He might be retired, but he’d like something like this.”“Good, very good.”Chris laughed.“Right, how’s the arrangement regarding the Head Coach acting as a witness for my wedding?”Jessie smiled.“There’s no problem. I’ve already contacted Ethan Hunt from Sword Camp. He said he had already requested the Head Coach about this and tol
Carson Cloude’s face regained some color after hearing Grandma Yates’ words.Callum Robbins smiled.“Do you have any plans for tomorrow, Grandma Yates?”Grandma Yates replied, “The Ceremony of Changing Defenses tomorrow will be held in the hall of South Light’s government. Aside from Bellamy Blake, the newly appointed first-in-command of South Light’s military, Oskar Armstrong and the Head Coach will be attending the ceremony as well.”“Tomorrow, Keith will arrange everyone’s seats. When that happens, whether you two can get support from the Head Coach or not depends on your capabilities.”At these words, Callum and Carson became exhilarated.They had known about the Head Coach’s legends.They even went to inquire information from the people in the military to understand the Head Coach’s status.If they could use this opportunity to meet the Head Coach, then the Robbins family, the Cloude family, and the Yates family would no longer need to rely on anyone else.“Hmph! When tha
Nine o’clock in the morning.Harvey changed into relatively formal clothes, then woke up Mandy along with the others.“Dad, Mom, Mandy. You should all wear something formal as well. I’ll take you to a place to relax.”Mandy and the rest were perplexed. However, they did not have to go to work, nor did they have any other place to go to.Since Harvey asked, they changed into formal clothes and got into the car without asking any more questions.Soon, Harvey drove in the direction of the new district in Buckwood.Mandy did not mind. The new district in Buckwood was the newly developed functional area with quite a few government agencies operating there, along with a lot of commercial complexes.She thought that Harvey only wanted to bring her to shop and relax.Soon after, Mandy felt like something was off.She saw soldiers with actual firearms standing guard at many intersections.There were also quite a few luxurious cars driving by, along with huge army-green battlefield bug
“Hm? It’s you people? Why is your entire family here?”An astonished voice could be heard from the side.Mandy and her family turned around and saw the Yateses approaching them with big strides.Keith Yates was not there, but the person leading the Yateses was Grandma Yates herself.The person standing besides her was an enchanting woman with dyed brown hair, Phoebe Yates.She was studying in America before and recently got back two days ago. She was picked up by the Yateses immediately after getting off the plane early in the morning.Even though Phoebe was beautiful, her thin lips and smokey eyes painted her with a stern appearance.Phoebe smiled and opened her mouth to speak.“Aren’t you Mandy Zimmer? I heard your entire family got kicked out by Grandma Yates herself! How dare you still show up in a place like this?”“Is this a place stray dogs like you all should be coming to?”The Yateses all burst out laughing at Phoebe’s words.It’s true. Why would stray dogs be prese
Callum Robbins stared at Harvey strangely, then burst out laughing once more.“I’ve always wanted to meet you. Your name’s been echoing in my ears like thunder!”Carson Cloude, on the other hand, glared at Harvey with cold fury.Eric Cloude’s limbs were all shattered. Though he wasn’t dead, he was now in a coma.That was why Carson was unable to know what happened back then. He only knew that Harvey must have someone supporting him, since he was able to escape.To Carson, this support was most definitely Prince York.If it was before this, Carson would still fear Prince York. But today was different.With Keith’s arrangements, they could meet the Head Coach.If they could have the Head Coach’s support, why should they remain afraid of Prince York?What a joke!Grandma Yates smiled and said, “Patriarchs! It seems Harvey brought his family over to attend the Ceremony of Changing Defenses as well!”Callum and Carson could not hold in their laughter after listening to Grandma Ya
After hearing Harvey’s words, the expression on Simon Zimmer’s face became even more helpless.He initially thought that this live-in son-in-law who became someone’s driver had started to be a little promising.However, his master was not even qualified to come to such occasions. It seemed that the master was insignificant and less promising!Simon did not bother to ask for details as soon as he thought of this.Instead, he sighed, “As a driver, you’re quite capable. I feel that the few chiefs just now couldn’t wait to strangle you to death!“How did you even do it? How could you offend so many people just for being a driver?”Harvey smiled and said, “Father, they’re just a bunch of trash. Why do you even care about them? They kneeled instantly when they met Prince York. I assure you, they’re just trash.”Simon thought that Harvey was not bragging this time. Instead, he sighed, “I hope Prince York is as capable as you said. Otherwise, you will be in deep trouble.”Lilian Yates
In the infield.All the guests present at the moment were being seated.Sheldon Xavier, Kyle Quinlan, Oskar Armstrong, and others were seated in the forefront.Beside Sheldon was Chris Leo, the Prince of the Leo family from Hong Kong, and Yvonne Xavier.They were then followed by the first-class families such as the Yates family, the Robbins family, and the Cloude family.In addition, the first-in-commands of various ministries of the South Light Government had also come.The first and second-in-command of Buckwood, Yoel Graham and Reign Jackson, and others were also present.Jessie Tate also came with a respectful look on her face.Those people were all seated in turn.Only six seats from the first row were left vacant.Everyone understood what this meant.Apart from the newly appointed first-in-command of South Light Military, Commander Bellamy Blake, the remaining four seats would be for the Chief Instructor and the Four Gods of War of the South Light Military.Those peo
However, Bellamy Blake did not proceed further to take a seat at the moment. Instead, he stood at the side of the entrance of the venue, waiting patiently.Moments after that, four figures in military uniform walked in.Leading the way was the leader of the Four Gods of War of South Light Military, the Long Sword Warrior, Ethan Hunt.Followed by the Magic Sword Warrior, the Short Sword Warrior, and the Falchion Warrior.The Four Gods of War of the South Light Military Department were here. Their intimidating aura spread across the place. Even Bellamy could not match it.Even characters like Sheldon Xavier felt his adrenaline pumping upon seeing the arrival of the Four Gods of War.The South Light Military was in the frontline and had been having blood battles with the Far Eastern Countries for many years ceaselessly.Thus, it can be said that the Four Gods of War had fought with thousands of soldiers.However, among the Fours Gods of War of the South Light Military, the Long Sw
"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."
