Later, Charley and Rubert swiftly left along with the rest of their people.The banquet fell into dead silence.Everyone was shivering to no end as they stared at Harvey, full of fear.They were not idiots.Harvey could easily suppress someone from The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets. Since that was the case, his words were enough to make everyone present lose everything.Harvey smiled and looked at Zach. His tone was cold. “I heard that you went out of your way to cause a ruckus on my wife’s worksite, Mr. Zach.”“Those were three old renovation projects approved by Yoel Graham himself. Did you suddenly attain the courage of the gods? You actually dared to halt the projects?”Cold sweat dripped from Zach’s head. He knew full well that the man in front of him had an extraordinary status.He even had the urge to kneel at this moment.But as a government official, he understood.He could not kneel no matter what! He had to fight for reason, even if he died trying.If not, his
Not long after, a car stopped at the entrance of Westin Hotel.A middle-aged man sporting a large belly walked gloomily out of the car.When Zach saw the man, he was filled with joy. He immediately rushed forward.“Father! You’re finally here! You must help me regain justice!”Zach’s father, Richard, carried a strong stench of alcohol. He was obviously drinking moments ago.He looked at Zach and asked, “Who is it?! How dare anyone disrespect me in Buckwood?!”Zach was still calm. He gestured at Harvey and whispered, “That’s him, Father. But his identity seems to be quite extraordinary.”“Extraordinary?”Richard sized up Harvey, then let out a derisive snort.“I’ve been working for the government for so many years. I’ve never seen a man as young as this with an extraordinary identity in the government!”“No matter how high a person’s status is, they’re all trash before government officials!”Zach received a burst of courage after hearing his father’s words.He initially assu
Boom!The words hit Zach like a strike of lightning, turning him weak.Richard trembled in fear, now completely sober.The father and son stared at Wesley in disbelief.Zach was fired…He was fired this easily?!Zach sank to the ground, his face pale. Richard soon returned to his senses. He snarled coldly, “Wesley, don’t forget that we have powerful people supporting the Braffs!”“Can you bear the consequences of firing my son so hastily?”Wesley, in return, glared daggers at Richard.“You have powerful people behind you? Richard, I ask you not to say their names! They’d just end up dead along with you!”“Wesley! You’re only the first-in-command of Buckwood’s housing system. Your status is equivalent to mine! How dare you threaten me?!”Richard flew into a fit of rage.“Threaten you?”Wesley chuckled coldly.He immediately called a number and said in a respectful tone, “Mr. Graham, I’ve arrived at the scene. I’ve already kicked the bug out of the housing system.”“But
Seeing that Zach was almost strangled to death, Wesley waved his hand. “Take them away! They must be punished by law! He must not die here!”A few inspectors stormed in and grabbed the father and son, taking them away.Naturally, Wesley had already contacted the police before coming here.Soon after, he and his men left the scene.The people present looked at Harvey, perplexed. Consultant York?!This man’s identity was terrifying!Even Mandy was shocked by Harvey. She couldn’t believe that her husband had become Buckwood government’s very own consultant!There was no paycheck for this position, but...The authority he held as a consultant was immense!Harvey was also in charge of the investment and business engagement forum. Safe to say, the fate of several small businesses lie in his hands.The Zimmers…They actually had such a powerful man in the family?!Harvey smiled and said, “Please sit. Isn’t this supposed to be a gathering?”The crowd all sat, looking mystified.
At the Gardens Residence.Mandy sat in front of Harvey while Simon, Lilian, and Xynthia sat on the side.The whole family was quite anxious.Anxiety aside, both Simon and Lilian were quite exhilarated.Mandy took a deep breath, then looked Harvey in the eye.“Darling, are you going to tell me everything that happened today? How did you even achieve your new status?”Harvey smiled. “Darling, I forgot to tell you.”“After leaving Sky Corporation, I found a new job.”“I’m now the consultant of the government of Buckwood.”“I’m in charge of the investment and business engagement forum as well.”Gasp—!“The government’s consultant?!”Simon gasped.“Harvey! You don’t have a fever, do you? You’re the consultant that the Buckwood government recently hired?! The legendary Consultant York?!”Lilian also asked hesitantly, “Mandy, you can’t joke about this. Although the status of Consultant York isn’t as high as Prince York or the Head Coach, it still bears a lot of weight!”“Harvey
In Buckwood, in a luxurious villa.Several leads of the Jean family from Mordu were gathered here.Todd Jean held the glass in his hand and looked at a document with a solemn expression.After a long time, Todd put down the document in his hand and whispered, “Elder, word came that they have found out who Harvey York’s backer is!“It turns out that Yoel Graham, the first-in-command of Buckwood, is his real backer!“And he’s currently the consultant to the Buckwood government. He is arguably the second most powerful big shot!“Very powerful and influential!”Todd showed fear on his face while saying those things.If they were in Mordu, the Jean family from Mordu would show no fear.However, this was Buckwood.Although the Jean family was a powerful force from outside, they couldn’t overwhelm the local forces!Todd took the document. After reading it for a while, he reached out his right hand and slammed it on the armrest, saying, “Although we’ve lost the Morgan Financial Grou
The four Kings of Arms next to Fourth Master Yates had all fought on the battlefield with him back then, and they had been with him for all those years.Letting Bradley bring along the three Kings of Arms indicated just how important this matter was to Fourth Master Yates.After Bradley hesitated for a moment, he reasoned, “Godfather, why don’t you let me bring all four of the Kings of Arms? In this case, things will be handled appropriately.”Fourth Master Yates replied indifferently, “I haven’t told you the origin of the four Kings of Arms under my command. I take this opportunity to introduce them to you today.“The Second King of Arms, Bahn, he’s a fighter from Thailand. He has received special training in Muay Thai from Thailand since a very young age. He’s unparalleled in melee combat and has reached the legendary realm of Muay Thai.“The Third King of Arms, Floyd, he’s a karate master from the Island Nation. His karate practices paid attention to making every move count.“
Bradley bowed and said after pondering for a moment, “As expected, Godfather is very thoughtful. I just want to finish all things in one shot without considering the serious consequences that this matter may cause!“Godfather, don’t worry. Now that we know that the Chief Inspector is in Buckwood, I will certainly proceed with caution.”Fourth Master Yates said indifferently, “Remember, although we are strong, we’re still foreigners after all. Remember not to be too conspicuous when doing things. Work more and talk less.”Bradley then bowed and left.He did not have a problem with Fourth Master Yates being cautious. This big shot, who had been on the battlefield for many years, always went all out even when fighting a small enemy or tackling a minor problem.After Bradley left, a plain-looking man slowly walked out of the shadows from behind the hall.The First King of Arms, Evander!Evander whispered at the moment, “Fourth Master Yates, I have heard of the Chief Inspector. It is
"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."
