âArrogant!ââShameless!ââCrazy!ââA small man intoxicated by his success!ââA man that has no sense of danger!ââWhat sort of identity do you even have?! What place do you think this is?! How dare you take the grand prize, Kait Walker, away?!ââDonât you know your limits?!âAfter seeing Harveyâs actions, Bryan Holt, Steven Walker, and the others were all twitching their eyes. They wanted to choke Harvey to death at that moment.Xynthia Zimmer covered her small mouth. She honestly did not know how to react.âHow could Brother-In-Law be like this?âBut thinking that Harvey might have other plans, Xynthia forced her resentment down and chose not to say anything.She swore in her heart that she would not let Harvey off the hook if he were really like this!Right at this moment, both Steven and Bryan gave Tamara Ebony a look.Tamara nodded, then loudly exclaimed, âThis is bad. This is terrible! The two-carat diamond that I planned to give Lady Walker is gone!ââItâs worth a f
âIâve contacted the others already!âTheyâll send in the security to handle this soon!âIâm warning you, Harvey York! Take out whatever it is that you stole!âIf not, you wonât be able to get away with this if we find out that the diamondâs on you!âAccording to the rules here, stealing something would have a punishment equivalent to someone cheating on gambling venues, and that is to have your hand broken!âBryan Holt coldly chuckled.Xynthia Zimmer stood in front of Harvey and exclaimed, âStop throwing out baseless accusations! Harvey wouldnât steal something like this. He doesnât even need the money!ââHe doesnât need the money? Xynthia, stop protecting him already. His whole body screams, âIâm in need of a lot of moneyâ!âHurry up and get over here before he drags you into the situation!âTamara Ebony pulled Xynthia to the side and stopped her from standing up for Harvey.Before Xynthia could even say anything else, the entrance of the hall was kicked open. A dozen suited
âHarvey, if you really found somethingâŠââJust take it out.ââMiss Ebony will also thank you.âKait Walker, who had stayed silent all this time, suddenly spoke up. Harvey was just her temporary boyfriend, but she still wanted to help him.Harvey was indifferent. âI didnât find anything. How can I hand it over?âKait frowned. âHarvey, you donât understand how serious this is. ââThis place is owned by the Jean family of Mordu. I heard that the Islanders also have some shares here. If you make trouble here, it wonât end well for you.ââIf you hand the diamond over right now, Iâll apologize to Miss Ebony for you and weâll consider the problem settled. Alright?ââApologize?â Harvey didnât sound at all concerned. âWhy should I apologize for things I didnât do?ââAre you sure you didnât pick up anything?â Kaitâs frown deepened. It seemed Harvey didnât appreciate her goodwill at all.Right now, he certainly wasnât thankful for her kindness. Harvey remained uncaring, too lazy to
Harveyâs socks and shoes were taken off. His belt was pulled away, too. Yet, they found nothing.Bryanâs expression of arrogance gradually changed into disbelief. He exclaimed grimly, âImpossible! The diamond must be with him!â Lenny frowned. He kicked the security personnel away and searched Harvey by himself.The other security personnel then went through all the nooks and crannies in the entire hall. However, they found nothing.After more than ten minutes of active searching, they became downcast and exchanged gloomy looks. Even if they found the diamond in a corner, they could still frame Harvey.But now, there was nothing. What could they do?Lennyâs eyes fell on Bryan.Noticing this, Bryan frowned and nodded.Lenny took a deep breath and called in a few more security personnel, including the female ones.âSearch!ââThe suspect may have hidden it in someone elseâs body. Everyone has to be searched!ââIf he stole the diamond, then his fingerprints must be on it!âS
âWell, now. Shouldnât you give me an explanation, Manager Thompson?â Harvey asked calmly.Lenny, who was about to leave, stopped and glared at Tamara, his incompetent friend. He then took a deep breath and said coldly, âWhat do you mean, Harvey?ââShe has just admitted that she put the diamond in my pocket in an attempt to frame me.ââYou should explain that to me, shouldnât you?âHarvey continued. He wore a hollow, indifferent smile.âDid she? Did Miss Ebony just say that?â Lenny pretended to look surprised. âDid any of you hear it?âBryan was the first to stand up and said, âNo, we didnât hear it!ââYes, Miss Ebony is the victim! How could she put the diamond in your pocket?ââNot to mention, you donât really have it in your pocket. How can you say that sheâs accusing you?âSteven countered eloquently.Tamara took the opportunity to backpedal on her mistake and screamed angrily, âStop getting ahead of yourself, York! It was just a slip of the tongue!ââThe reason you could
âHarvey! Enough!âKait finally spoke.âTonightâs my birthday dinner. I donât want to see blood.ââFine. For my girlfriendâs sake, I wonât kill you.â Harvey stepped forward and slapped him again, sending his cruel words back to him.After that, he looked at Lenny with an indifferent expression. âYou seem to have just said that youâd give me an explanation.ââHow are you going to explain now?ââI wonât give you a hard time. Just follow the rules of Paramount, as youâve so graciously mentioned to me repeatedly.âLenny was intimidated by Harveyâs aura. He blurted out, âAccording to the rules, the thief will have to cut off one finger, and those who took part in framing will receive the same punishment.âHarvey patted Lennyâs face lightly and said, âThen, follow the rules. Iâm waiting for your justification.âBryan and Tamaraâs faces turned pale.Bryan covered his face and yelled, âHow dare you hit me, York! Just wait, Iâll kill you!ââYouâve no idea, but my elder brother is th
In less than three minutesâŠA group of tall and burly bodyguards walked into the hall. All of them looked powerful. They seemed like the type that punched hundreds of pounds.Harvey sipped some juice as he studied the bodyguards with narrowed eyes. He could tell at a glance that these people were great fighters from the streets.Lenny held his head after seeing them coming. His spiteful glare fell on Harvey.A bald man marched forward. He seemed to be more than six foot tall. He didnât have any eyebrows, but his skin was extremely pale, and he carried with him a strange fierceness.He stepped forward and threw a casual glance at Harvey. He then picked up a bottle of red wine and started drinking.After downing more than half of the bottle, he narrowed his eyes at Harvey and sneered, âBoy, I heard that you dared to hit our Manager Thompsonâs head in Paramount. This is our turf, you know. Youâve got guts!âHarvey said nonchalantly, âThank you for the compliment.âThe bald man nar
A man in a white suit, looking incomparable pompous, emerged from the crowd and approached Harvey in an instant.He was a true master. He was Big Flyâs bodyguard, and had helped Big Fly fight through many bloody battles in Mordu.He pulled out a military dagger and swung it directly at Harveyâs throat.âAh!âA burst of shocked exclamations came from the watching crowd. No one had expected that things would develop to this point.Harvey might die here tonight!Xynthia gasped in fright. âBrother-in-law, be careful!âUnfortunately, no one heard her words.âToo weak!âJust as the military dagger was about to touch Harvey, Harvey smiled faintly. He stretched out two fingers and caught it with ease.Clang!A crisp sound.The imposing white suited manâs figure fell into an abrupt pause. The killing intent on his face seemed to freeze.âHow can this be?!âHis military dagger was caught so easily by Harvey. Harveyâs grip was so strong, making him unable to advance even one step.
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 FujiharaâŠ"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 reasonableâŠ"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
