Outside Regency Enterprise.Todd Jean was sullen. He was holding his slightly swollen face, wearing a hideous expression.He shot his secretary a glare laced with bloodlust.“Why did you stop me from killing him just now?!”“If you don’t give me an explanation, I’ll end you!”The secretary said, “Young Master. Before we came to Buckwood, the Old Master had warned us that not only we couldn’t let you kill by yourself, but we also aren’t allowed to do so in front of you.”“After all, this is Buckwood, not Mordu. We Jeans are not the local kingpins here.”“In addition, people from the other top ten families have come to Buckwood. Why would you let someone have a hold on you?”“Also, I have looked into that Harvey. He should have a great relationship with Prince York. If we rush into action, we might suffer.”“I guess that brat must have arranged it. Otherwise, how would he dare to hit you?”Todd calmed down after hearing his secretary’s words. “It makes sense. Daring to hit me,
Todd’s expression changed several times. After a while, a sneer appeared. “Since Fourth Master Yates is coming, then we shall temporarily join forces with Morgan Financial Group. We’ll wait until they’ve ruined Prince York and Sky Corporation. Only then, I’ll kill Harvey myself!”“Without Prince York as his backer, I’d like to see how that could survive!”“As for that woman, Mandy…she will be mine, sooner or later!”Todd’s men exchanged sombre grins after hearing Todd’s words.For so many years, the young master was never denied what he wanted to do.Harvey was just a live-in son-in-law. He was dead!***Rocky Mountains, Texas, America.There was once a study about these mountains by American scholars. This mountain range corresponded to another mountain range in the Middle East Mountains, mentioned in the ancient book “Mountains and Seas”, which was full of mystery. There was actually an antique-looking temple in a valley in the Rocky Mountains.There were no gods in the te
Although Bradley was not a member of the Yateses of America, he still represented Fourth Master Yates on many occasions.Even Phil was respectful of him.Bradley said indifferently, “Young Master Phil, you should go back first. My godfather said that he will take care of this matter.”“The one who killed Third Master Yates will certainly perish!”“Yes! Thank you, Fourth Grandfather!”Phil was excited.Was Fourth Master Yates willing to come out?!As long as Fourth Master Yates was willing to come out from seclusion, it would be the end of Sky Corporation!Prince York was destined to die!Fourth Master Yates’s prowess was not only unparalleled…His skills were too great. As long as he was willing, nothing was impossible for him.Immediately after that, the news of Fourth Master Yates coming out of seclusion spread throughout Texas, America, and then back to Buckwood through special channels.After learning that the legendary character, Fourth Master Yates, was going to Buckw
It was said that these four King of Arms were personally groomed by Fourth Master Yates himself. They had been cultivating their skills with him over the years, and their prowess had only grown even more terrifying than before.The two so-called Texas boxing champions under the late Third Master Yates were mere weaklings compared to these King of Arms from the Cobra Squad.If these four made a move, they could single-handedly kill a well-equipped army consisting of a thousand people.If they had not retired, they might all have the qualifications to become the God of War.Such people were horrifying!Those who were in the know about the Yateses of America shook with fear.“Welcome, Fourth Master Yates!”Seeing Fourth Master Yates walking out, the big families and foreign forces present bowed their heads and saluted.Even the representatives of the top ten families in the Great Country H were bowing.They were not the core members of the top ten families, and as such, they did
Bradley nodded. “Godfather, don’t worry. I have ordered and deployed our spies to investigate this matter. The results should come in shortly.”Fourth Master Yates nodded curtly. He would not rush into action until he looked into the matter thoroughly.After all, if one knew his enemy, he need not fear a hundred battles.As a former major general, how could he act impulsively, just like the common man?The family representatives present exchanged glances. Seeing Fourth Master Yates’s attitude, they were all relieved.With Sky Corporation suppressing them, they always had to be vigilant and dared not be too high profile. They spent every day quaking in fear.However, it was different now. If Fourth Master Yates made a move, Sky Corporation would certainly be over.In this case, they could unscrupulously eat the big cake — Buckwood itself.Specifically, if they could make a profit from the next Investment and Business Engagement Forum, they could earn a tidy profit.As for contr
Todd pondered over Eddy’s words. “Okay. Since Mr. Eddy has spoken, then I shall agree on behalf of the Jean family from Mordu.”“But since the ownership of Regency Enterprise will fall into your hands in the future, then shouldn’t Morgan Financial Group make the first move against Regency Enterprise this time?”Eddy smiled. “Don’t worry, Mr. Todd. We’ve arranged everything a long time ago. I know the minds of you people better than anyone else.”“Trust me. Under my arrangements, Regency Enterprise will soon be in chaos!”Eddy soon left with a smug look.Todd stared after his back with a derisive sneer.His secretary frowned. “Young Master, these foreign superiors of Morgan Financial Group are too unreasonable. They want the controlling stake of Regency Enterprise. Wouldn’t that mean we have to work for them in the future?”Todd was indifferent. “Take your time. Things haven’t reached the end yet, so who knows what’s going to happen?”“ Regency Enterprise is currently backed by
Zach Braff came to Regency Enterprise’s construction site solely for Mandy.He had met Eddy from Morgan Financial Group before coming here.According to Eddy, Zach must make Mandy go to their party by any means.At that party, Morgan Financial Group would force Mandy to hand over Regency Enterprise.Before, Zach assumed that Mandy was just some tough woman.He never expected she would be so beautiful.Zach instantly wanted to grab this opportunity to possess such an enchanting beauty.He deliberately looked at Mandy and said, “And that is...?”The foreman, who was arguing with him, snorted coldly. “This is the CEO of Regency Enterprise, Mandy Zimmer. This place belongs to her. She can come whenever she wants!”Zach then said, “So she’s the CEO. Hurry up and let her come over!”“You can’t deal with this matter. I need to have a good, long talk with her!”Zach studied Mandy carefully as he spoke.He was a wretched man who enjoyed using his power to intimidate women.He caref
Bang! The box was broken.Zach pointed at them and sneered, “CEO Zimmer, what does this mean? I’ve always been an honest and righteous man. I have never taken anyone’s money, and I remain uncorrupted!”“However, you insult me with such things!”“I’m warning you. You have to stop the work in your construction site immediately and obtain a legal construction permit before you can continue!”“I will also report your behavior today to my superior. Regency Enterprise should get ready to go bankrupt over these unscrupulous actions!”Zach turned aggressively and left after he finished speaking.Mandy was stunned. She didn’t expect Zach to act in such a way.She had investigated Zach and was familiar with his behavior, but she didn’t expect the other party to suddenly turn sour on her.However, Mandy was not a rookie in the business world. She quickly went forward and said with a smile, “Mr. Braff, you have misunderstood. It’s my assistant’s fault for taking the wrong thing…”“No, it’
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
