At that moment, Larry finally understood .“Prince Patel, I heard that Benjamin Lynch nearly died the other day. Recently, he seemed to have recovered.”“He suspects that someone’s eyeing his position, and that he might be killed for it.”“Thus, he has taken a series of actions to protect himself.”“If Harvey is his lackey, used specifically to attack people to build power…”“Then everything makes sense.”“After all, Benjamin has recovered. Naturally, he would want to show his abilities to everyone in Mordu.”“Still, he’s doing all this so suddenly. Isn’t he afraid of trapping himself?”“Offending so many people at a stretch… Perhaps he’s not afraid that those who attacked him previously would attack him again?”Although Larry was quite an influential figure in the upper-class circle, he was still far away from becoming the top big shot. Thus, he couldn’t figure out Benjamin’s intentions.Elias put down the chess piece and said indifferently, “For Benjamin, offending a few pe
Harvey nodded and said, “This isn’t your fault. Plus, the other party will give us an explanation sooner or later.”“Don’t worry, Ms. Lynch. I can handle this by myself.”Yona shook her head and said, “Let me, Young Master York. I promise you, no one will come to the hospital and disturb…”Bang!Before Yona could finish her words, the door of the VIP ward was kicked open.Dozens of people stormed in.Larry and Fred took the lead.Fred was supposed to be detained. His presence indicated that there was a problem in the system.But the true leader of the group this time was neither Larry nor Fred. Instead, it was a woman who seemed to be in her early thirties.She was wearing a white uniform. However, even this formal uniform outlined her mature body.Her face was extremely delicate. Every step she took displayed her arrogance and contempt.“York, kneel!”Fred yelled the moment he kicked the door open.Behind him stood a few actresses, who had been arrested for being seafood
Harvey’s words turned Larry and Fred’s faces ugly.They certainly wanted to trample on Harvey to get their so-called justice for the incident in Hengdian World Studios.Yet they failed every time and always ended up humiliated, making them very miserable.“So you are Harvey?”Meanwhile, the woman who was surrounded by everyone slowly stepped forward.The staccato beat of her high heel shoes echoed off of the ground every step of the way, further intensifying her arrogant and domineering demeanor.Harvey narrowed his eyes at the other party and asked, “Who are you?”“This is Elisa Jean from Mordu Police Station!”“She’s also a member of the Jean family of Mordu, which is one of the top ten families!”“I specially asked Director Jean to come over and bring us justice.”“I want to see if there’s any senseless policeman who still insists on dragging me to the police station!”Larry said playfully. So what if Harvey had connections in the police station?With Elisa’s background
“Explanation?”Harvey laughed.“Okay. You should tell me what I need to explain to you next and how I should go about it, Director Jean.”Elisa Jean from the Jean family of Mordu seemed to have a lot of energy.But to Harvey, Elisa wasn’t good enough to speak for Larry.Since she was from the Jean family of Mordu, Harvey wouldn’t mind trampling her to death. It would certainly rouse Lucas’s anger. “How should you explain?”“Since you’ve asked, let me tell you.”“The price now has become 4.7 billion dollars!”“Kneel and grovel to Mr. Chambers three times!”“Ruin three of your fingers yourself!”“Can you do all that?”Elisa had an indifferent expression. “If you can’t, then let’s take our time and talk this over.”“We’ll surely come up with a satisfactory conclusion.”Elisa snapped her fingers as she spoke. Several men, who were initially standing guard behind her, immediately moved forward. Their gazes were sharp, and they exuded a very intimidating aura. They looked as
Harvey smiled and curled his fingers in Fred’s direction.Fred looked disdainful. He approached Harvey again and barked, “Why? Do you still want to provoke me and let me come over?”“Come, come, come! Hit me!”“Come on, just hit me!”“If you don’t hit me, you’re a coward! A bastard…”Slap!Before Fred could finish his words, Harvey instantly slapped him.“Argh!” Fred screamed in pain, blood spurting from his mouth and nose. He was sent flying and hit the wall before falling to the ground, looking extremely miserable.The crowd was shocked. The female stars’ faces slackened with fear and disbelief.Larry’s hand, which was about to light up his cigar, stiffened and it trembled slightly in mid-air.Even Elisa Jean, who was initially calm and relaxed, was also slightly taken aback.She never imagined that Harvey would actually hit Fred.Before her eyes, to boot?Anger surged up in her heart. Elisa, who was always domineering, felt that she was being trampled under someone’s fo
Elisa was taken aback for a moment when she saw the newcomer. The next second, she quickly regained her composure once more.She had already heard from Larry and the others that this woman was probably Harvey’s backer. Although she was surprised, she wasn’t completely shocked.She stared enviously at Yona’s beautiful, youthful visage and remarked coldly, “I was wondering who’s actually acting pretentiously?”“Turns out it’s Miss Yona Lynch, known as the number one socialite in Mordu’s upper circles!”“You may be a huge celebrity, Miss Lynch, but frankly speaking, you’re just Benjamin Lynch’s glorified secretary.”“Browsing documents, arranging the itinerary, even serving tea and washing the lavatories… these are your specialties.”“Tasks like upholding the justice of the law, arresting and interrogating people are certainly out of your league!”“You’re just a secretary. You don’t have any jurisdiction over me!”“For Benjamin’s sake, I won’t hold you accountable for obstructing
“Of course.” Yona’s expression remained unchanged.Elisa said with a half-smile, “Beating Fred like this, letting Mr. Chambers suffer huge losses, and even ruining Prince Patel’s plaque…”“I’m afraid you won’t be able to protect him with just your name, Yona.”“Then how about adding my name, Benjamin Lync, into the mix? Is that enough, Elisa?”At that moment, a majestic voice filled the air.Benjamin strode in, accompanied by his secretary and bodyguard.Benjamin Lynch?!Elisa’s face instantly turned pale the moment she saw him.As for Larry and the rest, their complexions also changed again and again.Against Yona, Elisa still dared to be arrogant and domineering, even going as far as to give scathing comments. But facing the far more superior Benjamin, she didn’t even dare let out a fart. Benjamin walked to Elisa and said indifferently, “Brother York is my guest. He’s also my savior.”“But, I have respect for the law. If you can show me evidence of Brother York violati
“Director Jean?”Benjamin was indifferent. “She wasn’t the Director before, and she won’t have the chance to be the Director in the future.”“From now on, she is not the Deputy Director anymore.”Benjamin only needed to say one sentence to get rid of the evil Elisa.“Rubbish!”The female star who just spoke was dissatisfied. “Director Jean isn’t just the Deputy Director of Mordu Police Station!”“She’s also a member of the Jean family of Mordu!”“Do you really think you can do anything to her?”This female star had become popular only recently. Her status in the entertainment industry was about the same as Fred’s.Seeing her idol Elisa n beaten and threatened by the other party into losing her title, the female star was deeply unhappy.Benjamin took the handkerchief his secretary handed to him and slowly wiped his fingers. At the same time, he said indifferently, “Then you should ask Elisa and see if the Jeans can protect her.”“Shut up!”Elisa quickly stood back up and s
"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."
