“You b*stard!” Vince York roared furiously.Harvey York’s seemingly simple actions were enough to foil his entire plan.He pounced forward, trying to snatch the photos away from Harvey.Slap!Harvey swung his back palm across Vince’s face, immediately sending him flying off.“I’m sorry, Young Lord York. I’m so used to slapping people in the face. It was unintentional,” said Harvey with an apologetic look.The crowd went dead silent after hearing those words.‘He slapped Vince in the face unintentionally?’‘What’s the point of even coming up with an excuse!’‘Does he think Vince is stupid?’Vince stumbled off the ground with a wretched look on his face.He then rushed forward and screamed, “Go! Kill him!”Vince had utterly abandoned his plans at this very moment.The bright red palm print had utterly enraged him. He would not settle until he saw Harvey’s lifeless body lying right in front of him.Harvey backed off as if he was at a loss.“I really didn’t mean it, Young Lo
The spectacle was stopped short…The incident happened so suddenly. Even Marcel York had no way of dealing with it at this moment.Obviously, since Vince York was sent away, this was just the beginning.Margot Patel sent a large group of the Lord’s Guardians around the place, ensuring that similar incidents would not recur.Harvey York shrugged before casually returning to his room.The sea and the sky merged together, forming a beautiful scenery…Right when Harvey was about to ask for some food, a few knocks could be heard coming from his door.Margot was seen wearing a gown outside the room.“Sir York, Lord York is inviting you for a meal. Would you like to join him?”The woman in front had such a beautiful figure and look…Her cold and distant aura could be felt through her strong attitude…Harvey could not help but be impressed by Selena Judd’s generosity. He did not expect she would let such an alluring woman like Margot work as Marcel’s personal secretary.Was Selena
Even Harvey York, who had seen the world’s best dishes, could not help but be impressed.“This is good cooking.”Marcel York raised his head to look at Harvey with a warm smile.“These are just some simple home-cooked meals. It’s good that you don’t dislike it.”Harvey’s pupils shrunk after hearing those words before glancing back at the stir-fried radishes.The size of every piece of radish was perfectly uniform. Even the color of the radishes looked all the same. The seemingly simple plating had quite the spontaneous feeling to it as well.This was quite the display of skill indeed!Surely, Marcel has been honing his skills with steel blades for at least dozens of years…He did not intentionally reveal anything, but Harvey knew he was a God of War, judging from the food in front of him.Marcel was also not just some phony God of War. He was legitimately powerful.Right when Harvey was admiring Marcel’s strength, he squinted while showing a faint smile.“Sir York, not only
After being silent for a while, Harvey York quietly replied, “I have a question. You’re still in your prime, and you’d be able to govern the Yorks of Hong Kong for at least another ten years.“Why would the family want you out of position that badly?”Marcel York’s eyes lit up slightly.“Do you read up on history, Sir York?”“More or less,” Harvey replied while nodding his head.Marcel smiled.“History will make a person understand the reason for the country’s rise and fall. Comparing yourself to others can give you insight into right and wrong.“Young people nowadays wouldn’t even read into history.“They’re indulged with debauchery. They’re totally different compared to us older people.”Marcel pondered about the situation before showing a faint smile.“Since you read history, then you should know about the golden age of the Whip Dynasty’s three emperors, right?”Harvey nodded.“Let’s skip the founding emperor.“We’ll talk about the next two instead,” said Marcel.“The
“Me?”Harvey York sat frozen in place, then burst out laughing after hearing Marcel York’s words.“Are you asking me for advice? Or is this just some sort of test?”“Does it matter?”“If you’re really asking for advice, then I suggest you destroy the entire family.“But if it’s just a test, then I’d simply tell you to stay on the course you’re in.“My advice is pretty risky, and it’ll end up real bad if you’re not careful.“Of course, if you have the courage and authority to suppress the entire family, you’d be right no matter what you do.”“Destroy the family?“Without destruction, there is no creation…“Better to suffer now than to suffer more…” muttered Marcel to himself.For him, Vince York and the others had been an extremely detrimental force within the family…But if they were removed, the family would likely split in half. Marcel would also probably die in the process…But if not, the Yorks of Hong Kong would be walking toward their inevitable fall from power.Eve
Harvey York was indifferent when he left the garden villa.He knew that his words greatly impacted Marcel York.Marcel probably never thought of letting Queenie York take his position.After bringing this up, if Marcel were to make the decision, there would surely be a big spectacle playing on the day of Grandma York’s birthday.Harvey was not interested in that event, but even he wanted to ask Selena Judd for an invitation for that occasion.After all, such a big show could not be witnessed from just anywhere.Right when Harvey was pondering over the situation, an unregistered Toyota Alphard suddenly stopped beside him.After the car door opened, a short-haired woman in a uniform walked out with a cold expression on her face.She was holding a laptop with many pictures of Harvey inside.After comparing Harvey to the pictures, she calmly asked, “You’re Harvey, yes?“The Third Lord wants to see you.“Please get inside the car.”“The Third Lord?”Harvey curiously glanced at
The man was none other than Noah York, the head of the third house himself.Noah walked to the living room and squinted at Harvey York for a while before he said, “Sir York, right? You’re pretty good.”Harvey chuckled before lighting up the cigar in his hand.“You’re too kind, Third Lord York.“A man like me has no place to impress a big character such as you.“I’m unworthy of accepting compliments at all.”Noah’s eyes squinted slightly. He did not expect Harvey was this showy.Noah hid his surprised gaze before casually sitting in front of Harvey.“The prince of South Light at such a young age…” said Noah while sizing up Harvey.“You managed to climb the ranks of Longmen in such a short time too…“I didn’t even have such achievements when I was your age.“Among the younger generation, you are pretty impressive.“You are outmatching even my ungrateful son at this point!”Harvey shrugged after hearing those words. He knew that the show was coming…“I also heard quite a lot
“What? Did you call me over just to lecture me?” asked Harvey York calmly.“You’re telling me to humble myself?”After hearing the distant tone in Harvey’s words, Noah York comfortably leaned on the couch as he squinted.‘A King of Arms from Country H relying on a man from Nanyang to support him…‘Does he really think he’s a big shot or something?’Noah instantly had opinions about Harvey. He reached out his hand to make a gesture.The doors opened soon after, revealing three bodyguards in black suits carrying a plate each.Noah then squinted at Harvey.“I’m not here to lecture you today, nor am I here to take revenge.“What I want to do will benefit both of us. It’s a win-win situation.“We’ll surely be satisfied by the outcome of this.”Noah snapped his fingers, signaling the first bodyguard to reveal the wooden plate covered by a red cloth. An antiquarian book was revealed inside.“This is an ancient text from one of the sacred martial arts training grounds. There’s only
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 Fujihara…"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 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
