“Right. I heard that you also have a good relationship with Dean Cobb’s granddaughter.“With your current status, you’re completely unworthy of her.“But once you become the fifth master, you’ll no longer have that problem.“In what world would a woman reject a man who fought with his own two hands to become the fifth master of Hong Kong?”Noah York was showing affectional expression as if he was admiring a great talent.He felt as if he was the only one who could see through Harvey York’s true colors.Harvey was indifferent. He was not interested at all in any of the offers.He squinted at him and showed a faint smile.“We’re all adults here, Third Lord York. You could probably fool children with these empty promises of yours…“But, it’ll definitely be a little harder to fool me.“I never liked playing underhanded tricks like these, but I can tell you’re just trying to bait me with all that fame, glory, and riches.“If I were to give Selena Judd that information and the fam
Harvey York took the phone from the other side of the table and scrolled past a few pictures with a faint smile.“I have to admit. I’m impressed that you’re willing to sacrifice your own daughter for your own benefit.“But, you’re asking me to be your son-in-law?“Let’s not even talk about whether I want to or not…“Even if I did, you’d probably restrain and destroy me after you’re done using me, right?“You probably came up with the plan to shut my mouth with family relations just now.“Surely your daughter didn’t know that she got sold out by her own father at that very moment.“I never understood how distant wealthy families could be, but now I do.”Harvey slammed the phone on the table, then squinted while crossing his legs.“Your offers are really attractive, Third Lord York.“It’s a shame I don’t like cooperating with a dirtbag like you.“That’s why I’m declining your offer.”Bang!Noah York furiously slammed on the table with an enraged look.“You truly disappoint
Noah York took another puff of his cigar and then stood up.“I really don’t know what to say about you.“Should I call you ignorant?“Or are you just a little too vigorous because of your young age?“In any case, I’ll be teaching you a lesson today.“I’ll let you know what it means to have someone else that’s way better than you!”At this very moment, Noah was no longer pretending to be some businessman. He was a true upperclassman.A decisive and ruthless one at that.Harvey chuckled.“You think you can even lay a finger on me with these people, Third Lord York?“This isn’t enough now, is it?”“It’s enough. They’ll be able to humble you properly.”Noah glanced at the woman by his side and calmly said, “Snow, let this man see what a peak King of Arms looks like.“Let him know that his lame kung fu doesn’t mean anything to us wealthy families.“Right. Just break all his limbs. Don’t kill him just yet. I’m still waiting for him to be the next master of Hong Kong.“Only whe
Bang!The smell of gunpowder wafted in the air when the bullet flew. It was a decisive shot.Naturally, there was no hint of hesitation or mercy in the shot. Snow’s goal was to keep Harvey York in this very room.It was a shame. Snow was fast, but Harvey was faster.Harvey pounced forward as Snow pulled the trigger and tackled right into her torso.Bang!The stray bullet hit right at the ceiling.Snow was immediately sent flying before she crashed onto a bookshelf made out of Stayport’s yellow flower pear wood. Her orifices were bleeding profusely, while many of her bones were broken.The silver firearm flew away from her arms, spinning on the ground, out of reach from her.“You’re a peak King of Arms? That’s all you can do?”Harvey was showing utter disgust.The words were enough to put Snow in despair.Harvey could not be bothered to talk anymore. He left the office all on his own.He then walked into an elevator before arriving at the front door.“Who are you?!”“What
“What?“Third Brother took Harvey York away after leaving the garden villa?“His personal bodyguard, Snow, got completely crippled?“That b*stard even slapped Third Brother in the face?!”Inside the VIP sickroom of Hong Kong Hospital, LexieYork gasped as she spoke on the phone while cutting an apple for Vince York.Her face was filled with utter disbelief after she hung up.Then, she carried the plate of apples on Vince’s table before him and carefully poked a toothpick into one of the sliced pieces.Vince put down his laptop, removing himself from his busy business for the time being. He looked at Lexie and said, “What happened?”Lexie let out a huge sigh.“I don’t know what came over Third Brother. He went to stop Harvey…“And he suffered as a result.“He also got humiliated.”Lexie then explained everything that had happened to Vince.After biting into a piece of an apple, he then showed a confused look on his face.“Interesting. Julian York was taken to the Law Enforc
“What did you say?!”Vince York froze before coming back to his senses.“Looks like Third Uncle here’s trying to kick me out of my position without making a noise!“But is there proof?“He’ll never admit to it if we don’t show any evidence.”Lexie York then showed a picture on her phone to Vince.“According to his statements, he said that he has proof about what happened ten years ago. Besides the third house, everyone else in the family was involved.”Harvey York and Noah York could be seen sitting in front of each other in the picture.After squinting for a moment, Vince curiously said, “But he’s also involved with the incident…“If he shows the evidence, he’ll kill himself before he even gets to us.”“Knowing that sly old fox, the evidence will surely be in his favor since he already has it ready,” replied Lexie calmly.“Besides, he’s most likely trying to give the evidence to Selena Judd through Harvey’s hands.“And since Selena trusts Harvey that much, she’ll surely bu
The evening sun of the Victoria Harbor was just extravagant.Harvey York sat on the roof of a cruise ship while flipping through dozens of newspapers he bought.But after he was done, he seemed a little down.He did not expect that the reporters were such cowards. He gave them such a big scoop, but they would not even dare report anything interesting.The reporters would not dare to disrespect Vince York or Noah York.“As expected from the rich and powerful.“Even the media’s being controlled by them.”Right as Harvey was lamenting about the situation, a person walked up and casually sat on the recliner beside Harvey.He was Marcel York, the lord of the Yorks of Hong Kong.He was wearing a Hawaiian-styled floral shirt and a pair of big sunglasses. He did not bring anybody with him at this moment.If Harvey did not know who he was, he would have mistaken him for an ordinary man on the road.Harvey handed Marcel a cup of coffee after seeing him lie down.“Why are you here tod
Noah York was wearing a windbreaker, showing off his aura of an upperclassman.The palm print on his face was already adequately handled by a doctor. The mark was almost untraceable at this point.But when Harvey York glanced over, he could still see a faint palm print.Marcel York looked over curiously, interested in how Noah would play out this big show.“Is that you, Lord York?”“Ah! Sir York! You’re here too?”Noah came uninvited before jogging to Harvey’s cruise. When he reached the roof, he acted like he was close to Harvey.It was hard to imagine that he was planning to force his hand against Harvey and was slapped in the face just before this.Harvey squinted slightly. He had to acknowledge just how resourceful these sly old foxes were.Harvey could still vividly remember the slap across Noah’s face, but he looked as if he had already forgotten about it.Impressive…Harvey had no intention of letting Noah off the hook, though.“What a small world, Third Lord York!
"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."
