Norton was indeed quite talented.He took all the funds he had when he came to Buckwood. In under a single day, the Silver Nimbus Enterprise crisis was completely solved.At the same time, he transferred a huge sum of money into the company’s account.He wanted to rely on the company to proceed with his next step to invade Buckwood’s market.There were also other financial groups supporting the Yateses of America from behind the scenes. They had come to Buckwood as well, representing America’s interests.While the Yateses of Buckwood more or less knew about this, none of them had any sense of shame and justice, let alone patriotism.The only thing they cared about was the money and benefits they could reap.With enough money and support, they didn’t need to bat Mandy an eye anymore.Meanwhile, in the hall of the Yateses’ ancestral residence… Norton sipped some red wine as he listened to Grandma Yates complain about Mandy.“You mean to say that your family got to this point b
The moment the Yates family heard of Norton Yates’ words, giddiness flashed across their faces.This was what they call a total uplift in one’s social status!Now that they had the Yates from America supporting them, the Yates from Buckwood would be the most powerful family in Buckwood in the future!Recalling Mandy Zimmer’s attitude towards the Yates family, they were going to devise a plan to get revenge on her for sure!That night, everyone in the Yates family was too excited even to fall asleep.Most of them were already mentally gearing up, awaiting the next day to arrive.It’s because the event where they knelt before the entrance of Regency Enterprise was the most shameful thing in the history of the Yates family!After all, they’re from a family of state officials and had lived their lives like royalties. When had they ever been treated like that?Although there’s a saying that goes, it's never too late for a nobleman to get revenge, and now that this opportunity presen
The Yates from America were practically idols of the Yates of Buckwood.Arrogant, mighty, and wealthy!This kind of great family was what the Yates family aspired to become.Because only then would they be fearless of anyone at all.Norton Yates clapped his hand to get everyone’s attention before cracking a smile. “I’ll give you three minutes to summon Mandy Zimmer right this moment. If not, I don’t know what will happen.”After his sentence ended, more and more people appeared at the scene. Most of the workers of Regency Enterprise were cautiously watching Norton.It’s because all of them witnessed how good Norton's bodyguards were at fighting.The matter immediately shocked Mandy, who has initially been in a meeting with the authorities. She then went to the hall on the ground floor with several people following her behind.When she saw the Yates family standing behind Norton, Mandy’s expression changed as she could already guess what’s happening.“Mr. Norton, this is the sh
Mandy Zimmer’s attitude irritated Norton Yates.After all, his words were always prized and obeyed by everyone. The Yates of America were like kings in the state of Texas.When they had business in other countries, the Yates did things recklessly and fearlessly as they had America as their back.This was the first time someone dared to reject him, which instantly made him dissatisfied. He sneered. “There are things which you can’t dictate and control merely with your words, Mandy Zimmer!“Now that you have half the blood of the Yates, you’re nothing but a mere servant in our eyes!“How can a servant have the right to go against a master’s command?!”Mandy had a perplexed look on her face as she asked, “Mr. Norton, in a modern and civilized society like this, are your mindsets still stuck in the feudal era?“Master? Servant? Are you joking?“Also, the shares of Regency Enterprise are gifted by an authority. Even if I want to transfer the shares, I could only do that to the autho
Seeing how Mandy Zimmer was still acting stubborn and determined during a moment like this, everyone in the Yates family felt excited and satisfied.That’s because the more stubborn Mandy became, the worse the situation she would be in!At that moment, the Yates couldn’t help but to fuel the fire.“Mr. Norton, Mandy Zimmer has always been this disrespectful towards the elders. Putting aside the Yates of Buckwood, she wouldn’t even care if it’s you, the esteemed Yates family from America!”“That’s right! A person like her needs a lesson!”“There’s no need to say anything more to someone like her. Just beat her up and beat her cruelly. She’d only feel scared once that pretty face of hers is ruined after getting hit!”Everyone from the Yates family acted and spoke ruthlessly like bullies.If it weren’t for Norton Yates’ presence, they would’ve hit Mandy to death themselves.Norton waved his right arm to stop the Yates from continuing their tirade.Then, his cold gaze landed on Ma
Slurp!Norton Yates wetted his lips with his tongue as his gaze landed on Mandy Zimmer’s slim waistline.For him, Mandy Zimmer, who stood before him, was a dish.A delicious, mouth-watering dish.He’d get more excited if he started from her waist.Norton became so excited that he almost growled, imagining how Mandy would be twitching on the ground wailing in pain.Looking at Norton’s twisted expression, Mandy closed her eyes hopelessly.She didn’t think that anyone would be able to save her at the moment like this.Boom!However, at this crucial moment.Someone suddenly kicked off the entrance to the Yates’ family home.The giant door was smashed to the ground and made a loud bang.Everyone at the scene couldn’t help but turn over toward the direction of the sound.Everyone from the Yates family shuddered. After all, they were traumatized.Norton, on the other hand, knitted his brows together. Someone interrupted him just as he’s about to enjoy something. This obviously m
Norton Yates unconsciously shivered while being watched by Harvey York’s cold eyes.However, he became angry the next moment and shouted, “Take him down!”Following Norton’s order, the four blonde-haired and blue-eyed bodyguards who had initially held Mandy Zimmer stood upright and walked toward where Harvey was.They casually cracked their necks and knuckles. Those popping sounds could be heard and were a strong deterrent.“Honey, close your eyes. I’ll deal with this matter.”Harvey urged Mandy, fearing that she would be frightened.“Huh!”The bodyguard instantly sneered and threw a punch toward Harvey’s face.However, Harvey did not move an inch. Instead, he raised his right hand, directly grappled the opponent’s fist, and threw him down. The bodyguard was lying down on the ground moments after.Then, Harvey stepped on his face and kept stomping on it until it was crushed beyond recognition.The three remaining bodyguards showed fear on their faces and rushed forward at the
This scene caused the corners of the eyes of all the Yates family to twitch constantly, and they unconsciously backed away.There was not even one person who stepped forward to stop Harvey York at the moment.Slap!Harvey continued to poke with the cane in his hand toward Norton’s body.Norton’s clothes were ripped, leaving bloodstains that were right down to the bone on his body.Norton, who was initially standing, was thrown on the ground this time, rolling back and forth, screaming.Slap, slap, slap!Harvey did not intend to stop. Instead, he continued to do it indifferently.Finally, the cane broke. Only then, Harvey casually threw the broken piece in his hand on the ground.At this moment, Norton, who was on the ground, had no strength left to scream.He was no different from a dead person except for the occasional twitching of his body.Even if he was sent to the hospital now, it was hard to say whether he could be rescued or not.“Honey, let’s go home.”Harvey took
The opposing force got out of the helicopters after they landed, armed with weapons. Some were melee weapons, some were firearms, and they looked high and mighty all the way.Kenta had no choice but to step up. He raised his hand and yelled, "I'm from Fujihara…"But before he could even finish, someone from the other side had already pulled the trigger. A bullet streaked through Kenta's hair, and he finally broke a sweat when he realized what had just happened.Harvey knew very clearly that they were coming for him after seeing what happened. That was why he decided not to stay still anymore and stepped forward. He coldly said, "You're here for me, aren't you? Tell Isoroku to come talk to me."I have to say you are quite brave, Harvey. Calling me by name without any honorifics," A stern and cold voice came from a helicopter right before them. The door opened, and an islander slowly walked out. It was a man with white hair and beard.His figure was thin and even looked sickly, defi
"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
