His strike was as light as a feather.His fist landed on Harvey at a ridiculously slow speed.The power…Alright, fine. There wasn’t much power in it, either.Third Master Yates was far from a veteran fighter. In fact, he was a nobody who couldn’t even put on a convincing pretense! But as Harvey thought of Mandy’s ill predicament, he forced himself to sway light and then retreated three steps behind. The sight of it sent the crowd into an uproar. In truth, none of them understood what they were witnessing. “There it is! There it is!”“That’s Third Master Yates’ first move in the Art of Conversion! Take that!”“If this live-in son-in-law can’t even handle the first move, how could he possibly be an opponent for Third Master Yates?”“This oblivious fool’s now getting a taste of Third Master Yates’ greatness! That’ll teach him not to be so arrogant!”“To think he’s representing Country H in this fight. If news of this spreads, it’ll be the biggest joke ever! This is just too
Several people began to jeer at Harvey, intending to force him out once and for all.Of course, the men under Morgan Financial Group were leading the charge.Disrespecting Harvey was the equivalent to disrespecting Prince York himself, thus, they were extremely willing in their actions. “I’m giving you one last chance, Harvey! Kneel and beg for mercy. Admit your mistakes.”Third Master Yates wore a frosty stare. This was the ending he desired. To think just a few days ago, this arrogant live-in son-in-law actually dared to threaten the Yates of America, demanding them to kneel and beg for mercy at his home!Third Master Yates wanted this filth to kneel right before the many people present.“Third Master Yates, we’re not finished here.”With that said, Harvey turned and made his way out of the place.Yvonne and Ray exchanged glances before running after him.Moments after, loud laughter rang from inside the gymnasium.In the crowd’s eyes, Sky Corporation had failed to ach
As for why they went for Mandy, their reasoning was simple enough to understand.Buckwood’s Yateses had always been of the opinion that she was Prince York’s secret lover.In the end, the one who turned up to fight in the ring was Harvey.Butler Yates using Mandy to threaten Harvey was reasonable.If the Yateses of America truly did so for a mere victory in the ring, then they would’ve released Mandy by now. The fact that Mandy had yet to show up was proof that things weren’t so simple.“CEO, what’s going on? Who’s the one behind all this?”Tyson wore a distressed expression.All of the streets of South Light were under his control, and yet the perpetrator was still able to snatch Mandy away. Safe to say, the man behind all this was extremely powerful.“It’s probably the Yateses of America. They usually don’t leave any traces behind. The people who did this are playing it off as if they’re not connected to that family, at least in public.”“Tell your men to gather more infor
“Mandy, do you really think your live-in husband will give up that much of cash for a loose woman like you?” Zack snarled, casting Mandy a sidelong glance.Mandy frowned and shot him a livid glare. Bandages wrapped most of his body, covering his face and shielding his expression. But when he talked to Harvey earlier, Mandy saw through him.She hissed, “There’s no way you’re getting the money, Zack.”The once prideful Zack swayed the second Mandy called out his name. He instantly stoody up in anger.“No need to panic, I already guessed who you really are. Even if you refuse to admit it, what’s the point?”“Did you think Harvey couldn’t guess who you are as well?”“Zack Zimmer, you’re overconfident!”Zack’s expression fluctuated between different states. Finally, with a deep breath, he removed the bandages off of his face. Scar upon scar crisscrossed the skin of his face. Yet, his grin remained visible. He approached Mandy and spoke with a cold hiss. “So what if you’ve figur
Sean was living in a village now, and without his son by his side, he became a constant target for the local gangsters.The second the door was kicked down, Sean assumed that the gangsters had shown up again.But when he realized that it was Harvey instead, rage filled Sean’s face. He roared, “What are you doing here?!”To Sean, had it not been for Harvey’s constant troublemaking, the Zimmers wouldn't have fallen into bankruptcy.Harvey was the reason the Zimmers ended up in squalor.Harvey strode toward Sean with a face colder than ice. He demanded with a red glare, “Where’s your son?”Sean only chuckled in reply.“Harvey, you’ve become so arrogant now. You think you can just disregard the law when your wife, Mandy, becomes chairman or something?”“Don’t forget, I’m still your elder!”“What right do you have to be arrogant in front of me?! You’re disobedient!”Harvey snarled, “I’m very impatient right now. Let me ask you again, where is Zack Zimmer?!”Sean fell into a fit o
At Buckwood International Airport, an elderly man walked out slowly.He was clad in ordinary clothes and carried a cane with him, but exuded an aura that could pressure anyone with just one glance.If Zack saw this man, he would definitely tremble in fear.He was an Elder from the forbidden land behind the mountains owned by the Jeans of Mordu, as well as also the master of Zack and Quinn, Russel.After Zack and Quinn were abandoned in the forbidden land behind the mountains, they suffered daily torment.Zack was only able to escape because he was ordered to.However, Zack wasn’t the reason that Russel appeared.It was Mandy.The Zimmers had already fallen, but Mandy’s business was constantly growing. For the Jeans of Mordu, this was a matter that deserved an investigation.A top rated family like them would not allow inferior families to show up and surpass them, no matter the cost.However successful Mandy was, in the end she was just a servant to the Jeans of Mordu.The m
In less than a minute, the gangsters ended up on the ground.Several of them had their limbs broken, and they now looked at Harvey in utter fear. They tormented the weak and feared the strong. They dared not muster even the slightest hate against people like Harvey, even if he knocked into them.“Keep watch of my car. If I see even a scratch on it, you’re all going to die.” Harvey warned. He then headed toward the area around the factory.…Harvey stepped into the factory’s warehouse, his face still ice cold. “Who are you?! Don’t you know this is private property?! Scram!”Some blonde, blue-eyed foreigners emerged from the shadows of the factory building. One of them carried a military dagger. He shot Harvey a dark glare. “You’re Third Master Yates’s men?”“You’re the ones who took my wife, correct?”They were shocked when they heard Harvey utter the name, “Third Master Yates”.The blonde man standing in the lead, Edward, sized up Harvey for a brief second.“We tried eve
“Are you talking about the foreigners? I’ve sent them away,” Harvey replied coldly.He noticed Mandy, thoroughly tied up in the corner, and finally let out a sigh of relief.As long as Mandy was unscathed, it was not too late.“Don’t come any closer! You think I won’t kill her if you do?!” Zack exclaimed. He grabbed a knife on a table, preparing to rush toward Mandy.“Aaaaaah—!”Screams that sounded like a dying pig echoed. Zack rolled to the ground with a wail.“I thought that you’re just a stink bug, and I didn’t even have any interest in killing you off.”“But it’s proved that I can’t be merciful sometimes. Only when you die will no one come back to bite me again,” Harvey said. stepping on the knife.Zack’s whole body was trembling. He thought that he could definitely kill Harvey after learning a few moves from the forbidden land behind the mountains of the Jean family.He didn’t expect that his face would be trampled by Harvey’s feet.“Harvey York! You can’t kill me!”“Y
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."
There were two men in extravagant yet classical outfits in the helicopter. Then, one of the men who were a little paler got out of the helicopter. The other man simply showed his face in the shadows of the helicopter's cabin.The man with the pale face gave Harvey a smile and bowed to him from a distance. His etiquette was perfect, and he was remarkably well-mannered.Then, he gave Harvey a gentle smile and said, "Hello, Mr. Harvey. Your reputation precedes you. Allow me to introduce myself. I'm one of the persons in charge of the Sky Plane Admin Board. I'm Fujihara Kenta, a member of the Island Nation's ruling royal family. I'm also Daichi's younger brother. My brother has just given me a call saying that he's waiting for you at Grand City's Paradise Island Restaurant. He hoped that you could deliver the Chapter of Ascension as promised."Harvey's expression turned cold. After signaling Clarion to hold their positions and to protect Mandy, then he walked over and narrowed his eyes.
Mandy looked a little shaken in the smoke, but after she had regained her composure, there was a hint of calmness in her eyes. But the moment she saw Harvey, there was no hiding her joy.The two of them looked at each other. It seemed like it had been a very long time since they last met each other, especially after such a struggle.After hesitating a little, Mandy said breathlessly, "Harvey, you…"And then, she could not continue after that. From being husband and wife, and arriving at this point in time. All she could say was that this was fate. Mandy did not even know how to face Harvey anymore. She was worried that it was all a dream, a dream that she had while she was dying. And once she awakened, she would once again be pulled back into a reality of despair.Once she was sure that it was not a dream, she suddenly cried. "Harvey, it really is you…""I'm sorry. I was a little late. I should have come sooner," said Harvey as he walked over and held Mandy in his arms. He was fee
After Sora had said his piece to Harvey, he immediately roared, "Scram! All of you, move aside! That way, I can consider letting you all live! Otherwise, none of you can leave Sky Plane alive!"Slap!Harvey was not letting Sora have his way. Instead, he slapped Sora's face to the point where he fell to the ground. "Do you think you have the right to order me around?"Sora crawled back up and angrily yelled, "You dare to touch me, you fool?!"Slap!Harvey gave another slap. "So what if I touch you? You think I can't? Come now. Tell me who's the one behind all this?"Sora coldly replied, "There's no one else except me!"Slap!Harvey delivered another slap. "You? It's not that I'm trying to underestimate you, but someone with your brain can't think of such a scheme. Not only did someone leak out information to me, having Sverker to wait for me, even you are here to humiliate my woman. And you tell me there's no one else pulling the strings?"Harvey's expression turned cold. "I'm
All the Origin Sword Style elites only had horror-streaked faces when they saw Sora standing face to face with Harvey. They did not dare to make any move at all. There was no question about it. Harvey's decisiveness and calmness had already filled their hearts with terror to the point that Harvey's gaze were enough to make the elites shudder and fall on their knees.When faced with someone so powerful like Magnus, they had already lost the faith to make any attacks.Harvey looked at Sora, whose face was pale. With a smile, he said, "Do you want my woman to undress?"Sora's eyes twitched as he instinctively wanted to retreat. But in the end, he managed to compose himself. He gritted his teeth and replied, "Impossible! How can you be alive? Sverker went to stop you together with 500 Origin Sword Style elites! It was enough to kill multiple True Warriors! How is it possible that you're appearing before me unharmed!" Sora was almost screaming in the end. There was despair and regret in
