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!
Noah froze. He couldn’t get himself to bring the cup over.Narrowing his eyes briefly at Marcel, Noel then let out a bitter laugh. “Looks like my Fourth Brother no longer has any emotions after being the lord for so long…”“I never understood how aloof wealthy families can get, but now I do.”“Speak. Don’t waste my time,” Marcel said, his voice ice.Noah hesitated for a moment when seeing Marcel’s apathetic, emotionless demeanor.“Second Brother should’ve called you by now,” Noah said quietly.“Let my son go.”“Why?” Marcel demanded coldly.“He’s my son. He made mistakes, but he doesn’t deserve death.”“The Yorks’ Law Enforcement are in charge of his case, but I’m sure they’ll respect your decision as well.”“We don’t have a lot of male heirs in the family this generation. Julian’s considered to be quite the great talent, too.”“I don’t want my son to have his future ruined just because of something like this.”“If you want, I’ll even make him your son.”“No matter what,
After Noah left, Harvey stood up and picked up a file. He flipped through the pages before asking quietly, “What show are you putting on now, Lord York?”“Since you knew all these were with Noah, why not just take it from him and give your son justice?”“Why go through all this trouble?”“You’re letting Julian out and giving him his position back just for these?”“That seems like a waste.”“I got it myself. It’s different if someone else gave it to me.”“At least in front of Grandma York, anyway.”“Besides, it’s necessary for me to free Julian.”“If I don’t, I won’t have an excuse to free my own daughter.”Harvey’s pupils shrunk. Marcel seemed to have started his plans.The day of Grandma York’s birthday would prove to be an exciting one.Harvey chuckled, amused.“If that’s the case, then I’d like an invitation to Grandma York’s birthday as well, Lord York.”“I’d feel bad for myself if I’m not there to see the show with my own eyes!”Marcel looked at Harvey with a profoun
At the cruise terminal of the Victoria Harbor, a pitch-black cruise slowly stopped ashore.A few G-Wagons could be seen parked in a straight line. Soon after, several people clad in traditional clothing stepped out of the cars.All of them wore warm smiles.Vince was there among them. There was a faint smile on his lips as he squinted at the person coming out of the Dragon Cell’s untraceable prison.The man in question had simple clothing, but his hands were still covered in bandages and casts. He was none other than Julian.No matter how much Vince wanted Julian dead, he still showed a warm smile as he greeted the latter along with Quinton, Matthew, and the rest. When they saw Julian, they put on looks of enthusiasm and sympathy.“Oh, Julian! Our brothers and sisters pleaded guilty so you can be released!”“Remember to treat everyone for a meal as thanks!”“Young Lord York.”Julian quickly approached Vince before dropping into a respectful bowing.He didn’t know what exactly
Vince seemed a little confused when he looked at the woman.Queenie had no intention to join the others. Instead, she waited for the crowd to disperse before coming down from the ship.Vince narrowed his eyes at Queenie for a short while before taking a step forward. He flashed her a warm smile.“Welcome back, Queenie.”“We’ll be treating Julian to dinner. You coming?”Queenie glanced at Vince, curiosity evident in her eyes. She was different compared to Julian. Before she left prison, she already knew the reason she was let out.She was here to fight Vince.Vince must’ve gotten word as well.Despite these circumstances, Vince was still so polite toward her. She was puzzled, to say the least.“Vince, you should know why I’m back at such a crucial time.”“Are you sure you want to invite me to a meal?”Queenie smiled at him.Vince’s smile froze. Naturally, he knew why she was released at such an important moment.Even if he didn’t get the news, he would’ve guessed it anyway.
“You’re right, Big Brother. I’ve always regretted being a woman.”“But now, it’s different.”Queenie smirked.“So what if I’m a man?”“So what if I’m not?”“They say that men can achieve their ambitions anywhere!”“But some people also say…”“That women are no less than men!”“I’ve waited for so long!”“It’s been so many years!”“All I want is a chance…”“For me to fight!”“I’m not here to prove how strong I am…”“I’m here to tell everyone that I can do great things even though I’m a woman!”Harvey couldn’t help but clap his hands.“Impressive. As expected of the lord’s daughter.”“No wonder Vince still tried to make peace with you even though he knew it was impossible.”“He even tried to bait you with the position of the lady of the family.”“He knew a woman like you wouldn’t be tempted by money or simply benefits. What you want is absolute authority.”“For the Yorks of Hong Kong, you can only achieve this by being the lord or the lady of the family.”“And if he ca
Queenie narrowed her eyes at Harvey, staring for a short while. She could tell that he didn’t want anything to do with her at all.She let out a cold snort.“Alright. I’m done scaring you,” she scoffed.“My father already told me what I need to do when I get out.”“He wanted me to gain total control of Loxus Consortium, the company working under the Yorks of Hong Kong before Grandma York’s birthday.”“I only have a chance to fight Vince if I get it in my hands.”“Do your best. I’ll make sure to help in any way I can,” Harvey said, flashing her a smile. At the same time, Harvey told Edwin to look up the location of the company before sending Queenie there.After that, Harvey would be able to leave.Queenie picked up the laptop beside her and checked her emails.“My father transferred all of his shares from Loxus Consortium under my name.”“It’s exactly thirty percent.”“But when he signed the agreement, I gave a suggestion.”“I wanted half of it to be under your name.”“
Bang!“What a move!”“They’re trying to remove my source of authority, you say?”An unspeakable wretched look could be seen on Vince’s face.“For so many years, the company belonged to the head house…”“When did some random outsiders get the right to show off in our own turf?!”“Do they think we’re just a bunch of cowards?!”…After having a simple meal with Julian and sending him back home, Vince hastily made his way to his office building at Victoria Harbor.He walked in, a gloomy look on his face. As he entered, he saw Lexie in her gown, gracefully playing the piano.She was playing the ninth opus of Nocturnes, a score resembling unending murderous intent and vengeance.Vince was in no mood to enjoy the masterpiece. He instantly walked forward and slammed his hands at the piano keys, ruining the moment.“Do you know what time it is, Auntie?! Yet, you’re still in the mood to play piano!”“You said Julian had to be kept in prison, right?!”“Not only is he out, but I also
Night fell by the time Harvey and the others returned to Grand City.Kenta had already left midway. It was obvious that he knew following Harvey and the others was pointless now.In the meantime, before returning to Grand City, Harvey had already instructed Clarion to spread the news of Origin Sword Style's extermination back to Grand City and how Earth Hall was instrumental in its destruction.By the time Clarion returned to Grand City, he was immediately enthusiastically welcomed back home. Initially, many people had an issue with him suddenly becoming the leader of Earth Hall. However, they did not expect Clarion to be able to single-handedly handle one of the main pillars of Sky Plane, the Origin Sword Style school shortly after he led the Earth Hall.While many did not know what actually transpired, Clarion and his team brought Isoroku's body back to Grand City. Taking Isoroku's body back was a great achievement on its own as it also means that Sky Plane's overall power would
Isoroku immediately crumpled on the ground. The arrogant master of the Origin Sword Style suddenly surrendered and killed himself. There was only bitterness and regret on his face, as if regretting why he did not simply stay and train in isolation. That way, he would not meet the person before him… Harvey.However, no matter how much regret he had, he needed to commit suicide.That was because he knew very well that Harvey had revealed to him his true identity. If he refused to die, Harvey would turn around and completely wipe out the Origin Sword Style. Now that he decisively made such a decision, Harvey would not return to Sky Plane.Harvey looked at Isoroku's body. With a smirk, he said, "That's why I don't like others to find out who I really am." Then, Harvey planted his foot on Isoroku's longsword. There was a loud clang, and the longsword instantly shattered. Its fragments fired in all directions.All the Origin Sword Style elites had been eradicated completely.A few minut
Isoroku's blade slashed downward. It was so fast that it was barely visible to the naked eye. However, before it could even touch Harvey's body, Isoroku suddenly saw him raise his right hand and flicked, hitting the blade when it was just starting to get close.Clang!It was an extremely simple move. However, Harvey's flick reached the blade first, and he immediately parried the attack. Isoroku's entire body shuddered, and his heart skipped a beat. He thought he was already victorious, but he was left with a shocked expression.He raised his blade and wanted to attempt another attack, but he could not do anything for a long while. Harvey was simply standing there with a calm expression. The two of them were close to each other, and Harvey looked like he was completely exposed. However, for someone like Isoroku, when someone was completely exposed, it also meant that he was not exposed at all. If he was not exposed, his blade could not slash downward at him anymore."You… You must h
"The joy's of youth," said Isoroku with a sigh of admiration. "To be young means to be fearless. It also means that there is no respect, and there is ignorance just how difficult it is for something to be overcome. When I'm in a good and chatty mood, you're attempting to anger me. You think that it's your power that makes me pause when I'm the one who's bestowing you this opportunity. You're simply too naive."Harvey calmly replied, "So you want to use your age to force me to respect you. Don't you understand that it's always out with the old and in with the new? If you don't, you'll really get thrown out one day."While the two of them were calmly exchanging words, the truth was from the moment they met each other, they were already clashing against each other. "Looks like there's nothing more to say."Isoroku sighed and slowly pointed the edge of his blade at Harvey. "I will now kill everyone close to you first before slicing your limbs. I'll make you die as you scream in pain."
Harvey was already making quite a concession. When he left with Sora, he was already prepared to kill him once he had arrived at his destination. But since Isoroku came knocking, he did not mind giving Sora up since he was not that important anyway."You're so confident, Harvey. So full of vigor. However, you forgot that in this condition, you're not in a place to negotiate," said Isoroku coldly. "Even if someone's going to come up with the conditions, that person will be me."Let's see now… Release that disappointing son of mine, and then leave your woman behind. Then, you will personally maim the limbs of your own men and then yourself. Only then will I allow you to leave on your knees. How does that sound?" It was clear Isoroku thought little of Harvey in the end."I'm not in the business of making life difficult for unimportant people like you. But since the Origin Sword Style has lost so many people, I need to get something back for them as their Predecessor, correct?"Then, H
"I've already heard your name even before you step foot in Grand City. That's because the Six Schools are all connected to the Origin Sword Style. By defeating all Six Schools alone, you have disrespected me," explained Isoroku, as if he was in the mood for a chat."What's more, you even killed my beloved student Sverker and even took down my worthless son? If it isn't because my source is very well trusted, I couldn't even believe it. For you to reach this level of power at this age, it's beyond amazing. Perhaps it's true when they say that the youths should never be underestimated!" Isoroku said with a sigh of admiration.Dozens of elites stepped out from the other military helicopters. They were probably Isoroku's personal students. All of them looked at Harvey with suspicion and shock. All of them knew how powerful Sverker was, that was why they found it even harder to believe that Harvey could defeat Sverker.Even if they put Sverker's defeat on one side, Sora was accompanied b
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
