In one of the antique shops owned by the Naiswells… Rosalie Naiswell asked the staff to put away several precious antiques. She then closed the shop, about to leave.Just then, a few large men surrounded her. “You must be Miss Rosalie of the Naiswells, right?”“My master would like to meet you.”They spoke in a polite way.The startled Rosalie had an inkling where they might have come from. She said coldly, “I’m sorry. I still have some things to settle here, so I’ll see him another day.”The shop staff were somewhat frightened, but they also knew that this could be their chance to show off their valor. They stood in front of Rosalie.“Miss Naiswell, aren’t you too naïve to rely on just a few ordinary people to protect you?”The other party flashed her a grim smile.Moments later, screams rang out from the shop. In the end, Rosalie was taken away, leaving only the wailing staff.***Soon after, Tyson made a call to Harvey.“CEO York! We just got word that Miss Naiswell
Rosalie was still conscious. She stammered, trembling, “Third Master Yates! If you treat me this way, rest assured that my grandfather will fight with you until his last breath!”“Fight me until his last breath? Is he worthy?”Third Master Yates’s tone was full of mockery.“It’s just the Naiswells. If I desire it, your family could be ruined the very next day!”“But don’t worry. I won’t kill you.”“When the two of them have enough fun, I’ll leave you at the Naiswells’ gate. I want Shane Naiswell to understand the price he’ll pay after rejecting me in person!”Third Master Yates turned and left, the perverse grin still hanging on his lips.The two Texas boxing champions began to undress, wretched grins on their faces, as they prepared to assault Rosalie.Rosalie closed her eyes in despair. Harvey’s face appeared in her mind at that very moment, though she was unsure of the reason why. Just then, the balcony on the other side was suddenly kicked open. Bang!The two Texas boxin
The Yateses of Buckwood, who were serving by the side, shuddered.Third Master Yates’s underlings were terrible! They committed such abnormal acts.However, none of them dared to express their thoughts before Third Master Yates. Instead, they squeezed out a smile and simpered, “The way Third Master Yates’s men do things is indeed beyond one’s imagination!”“However, this is still the center of Buckwood City. It’s a good thing that there are no screams. We can avoid unnecessary troubles.”Butler Yates glanced at them and snapped frostily, “Presumptuous! When is Third Master Yates ever afraid of trouble?”“No matter if someone hears the sound, this is only Buckwood. Who dares to stop it?”“Yes, yes. We said the wrong thing!” One of the Yateses was so frightened, he almost fainted on the spot.To him, Third Master Yates was a despot, moody and terrifying. He dared not slip up and say the wrong thing, for fear he would end up horribly.Third Master Yates was not angry. Instead, he
“Your granddaughter? I didn’t do anything to her! On the contrary, she helped me a lot.” Third Master Yates grinned once more.“Help?” Shane was stunned for a brief moment, overwhelmed.“She’s helping me serve my two Texas boxing champions well. They’ve been holding back for too long, after all. Such beauty should make them physically and mentally happy.” Third Master Yates’s smile turned cold.“You…!”Shane faltered.“Oh, right. She’s in the room at the corner of the corridor. Go and see for yourself.” Third Master Yates pointed to the location with a smile. He had no intention to stop them. Doing this kind of thing was a favourite of his.Letting the victim’s family watch how the victim was ruined.Such torture was countless times crueler than simply beating them.All of the Naiswells rushed over to the location. Third Master Yates followed as well, his hands folded casually behind his back.He was looking forward to seeing what would happen next.Unexpectedly, when Shane
Shane’s complexion worsened. He never expected that Third Master Yates would directly slap him.“I won’t kill you today, but I want you to send him my message.”“Since he wants to play like this, then I’ll prepare a ring in Buckwood Gymnasium and play with him!”“This is a battle of life and death, regardless of victory or defeat!”“If he doesn’t come, everyone from the Naiswells and Sky Corporation will perish!”Third Master Yates announced with a frosty tone, brimming with incredible self-confidence.In his opinion, if Prince York was killed, who else in Buckwood could stop the Yateses of America?Later, he ordered his men to send the Naiswells out of the Yateses’ ancestral home.He took no hostages, but his threat was real.Sky Corporation, along with the Naiswells, amounted to close to ten thousand people.Even for a man as strong as Prince York, it was impossible to protect every single one of them.***After the Naiswells left, the Yateses exchanged glances, an ugly e
Nighttime.The news of Third Master Yates inviting Sky Corporation’s Prince York for a duel spread all over Buckwood’s social circles.It was also reported that the two Texas boxing champions were suspected of being killed by Prince York’s men.When the news came out, the entirety of Buckwood fell into an uproar.Everyone knew full well of the two boxing champions’ mighty prowess. Even figures like George Zabel and Old Niner had their bones crushed with ease.It was proof of their skills. But since Prince York’s men managed to eliminate the two boxing champions, it indicated that Prince York’s prowess was far stronger.Despite that, why did Third Master Yates unscrupulously demand a duel from Prince York, even going so far as to set up a ring?One could easily infer what that meant.Presumably, Third Master Yates was dismissive of Prince York.Everywhere in Buckwood, various kinds of rumors buzzed about.“I heard that Third Master Yates once defeated the champion of the Ame
Most importantly, if the Chief Instructor happened to lose, the impact would be unimaginable.The five powerful nations might use this opportunity to attack the great Country H once again.***Just as Yoel and the rest were fraught with worry, the representatives from Sky Corporation appeared.Yvonne and Ray led the group. Harvey did not walk with them.The crowd fell silent the instant they saw Sky Corporation’s representatives.Everyone stared in that direction, desirous to know Prince York’s true identity.Prince York was much too mysterious! He hadn’t appeared in public since his debut.Someone from the Yateses of Buckwood stood up and looked in the direction of Sky Corporation. He demanded loudly, “Where’s Prince York? Let him come out and die!”Every single one of the Yateses of Buckwood were complacent.If Prince York was killed by Third Master Yates, Sky Corporation would cease to exist. The ones who could gain the most advantage out of this situation would be the Y
‘The people in this country are all cowards?!’Everyone present trembled with anger when these words were said.This was especially true for Yoel and others. At that moment, their complexions morphed into something dreadful. Third Master Yates’s words were bland, but if Prince York didn’t show up to fight today, not only would he lose his reputation, but it would also disgrace the Great Country H.This could even affect the status of the Great Country H in the eyes of the international community.Some local families from Buckwood couldn’t help but rise up.“Prince York! Since you dared to provoke Third Master Yates, you have to fight today!”“That’s right! Otherwise, not only you’re disgracing yourself, but you’re also disgracing the Great Country H!”“How dare a person like you claim to be number one in all of South Light?! What a big joke!”Everyone was kicking up a storm, going against Prince York, who hadn’t shown up at all.They had all forgotten.This ring was set up
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
