At three o’clock in the afternoon, Harvey and Queenie arrived at the meeting room.Even though Harvey wanted to crush these Islanders very badly, business was business. Since he requested everyone to meet up at three o’clock, he had no choice but to follow his word. This was one of the basic rules of the business world.Before the two could enter the guest hall, a loud slap could be heard.Slap!“Damn you!”“Those b*stards! How dare they make our representative wait for five whole minutes?!”“Do you people only know how to slack off?!”“Doesn’t she know that they have to be an hour earlier than the time we agreed on?!”“You people have no concept of time! That’s the only reason why the Island Nations have the upper hand in the far east territory!”“Tell Queenie she only has three more minutes!”“If she doesn’t get here by then, both her and Loxus Consortium will pay for this!”Harvey and Queenie frowned. According to Harvey’s speculation, Ishikawa Corporation wanted the coll
“He came early because he’s a smart man. He could tell that something’s off,” Harvey replied calmly.“He should’ve already known that we’ll cancel the deal if he doesn’t come here by three o’clock.”“Why?” Queenie frowned.“According to your and Dante’s deal, you’ll have to pack your things and leave the company if you can’t get the deal in a day.”“Aren’t you supposed to be scared?”“Why should I be?”“I only said that I’ll get the deal. I never specified who I’d get it from,” Harvey said, still calm.“If the deal gets canceled here, I’ll just make a call and get the head of the Ishikawa family to kneel in front of me, begging me to sign the contract tomorrow morning.”Seeing Harvey’s nonchalant expression, Queenie knew what it meant to be domineering.Harvey and Queenie approached the few female staff while they were chatting.A woman wearing gold-frame glasses who seemed like a secretary took a step forward.“You two seem like a bunch of arrogant people. You must be the
A female staff member couldn't hold back her feelings.“Hong Kong is our place! You Islanders don’t have a right to show off here!”“Ha? You dare talk back at me, you b*tch?!”The secretary shot the staff member a cold glare.“We don’t have a right? Us Islanders have a powerful status! Ishikawa Corporation has products sold all over the world! With just a single word, we can blacklist your company entirely!”“What did you say?”“Are you angry?”“Hit me, then!”“Hit me already!”“I’ll be impressed if you can actually do that!”The secretary moved her face toward the female staff member to provoke the latter.Slap!Harvey took a step forward and sent the secretary flying with a hard slap.“I’ve never heard of such a strange request. You all heard it here first. She was the one who asked me to hit her.”“I’ve hit you now. What are the consequences?”The arrogant-looking secretary smashed right into the ground after being sent flying by Harvey’s painful slap. Her orifices bl
“This is my fault, Secretary Akina. This all happened because of me.”“Whether you want to sue or arrest someone, I’ll take all the blame.”Olivia was a little frightened, but she still raised her head up in front of Taichi and the rest of the Islanders.“This has nothing to do with the company, nor does it have anything to do with this young man!”“You have no say in that! The company has no right to butt in either.”“Even if Cory or Vince comes, they have no say either!”Taichi finally spoke at this very moment. He waved his hand, signaling his secretary to calm herself.He then crossed his arms and took a step forward, displaying the full extent of his scummy demeanor. “Only I have the final say in the matter!”Taichi slept with quite a lot of celebrities from small countries, and had threatened a lot more women during his trips to negotiate in place of Ishikawa Corporation. He was even sworn brothers with some of the oil princes in the Middle East.Safe to say that wher
Secretary Akina was crying while she talked on the phone, putting on a helpless look as if she had suffered quite a bit. It was quite the pitiful sight.But immediately after she hung up, her cold and distant look reappeared in an instant.“Just you wait! How dare you hit me?!”“When Master York’s here, he’ll deal with you first!”“Let me warn you: none of you can get out unscathed today!”With immense support behind Secretary Akina’s back, she felt she was invincible.Before Harvey could say anything, Olivia already cut him off with a frightened look on her face.“Forget it! We can’t escalate things any further!”“We’ll get fired if we do!”Olivia didn’t know who Taichi and the others called, but a person called Master York could only be from the Yorks of Hong Kong.She was certain if someone from the family were to come, not only would she be in trouble, but Harvey and Queenie would also be dragged into the situation!As a woman from Hong Kong, she understood full well wha
Olivia and the staff’s expressions changed upon Stephen’s arrival.Stephen would usually show up on entertainment magazines and financial news.Naturally, they knew who he was.None of them expected an affluent figure like Stephen would come here after a single call.Secretary Akina was exhilarated to see Stephen’s arrival. She stumbled her way toward him with a pitiful look, as if she had been wronged.“Look at me, Master York! My dermal fillers are about to burst!”“Loxus Consortium has crossed a line! They have to take responsibility!”Secretary Akina was on the verge of tears as she aired her grievances.Stephen’s face was aloof.“What a great job you’re doing here, Loxus Consortium!” he exclaimed coldly.“Don’t you know that Young Master Ishikawa and the Islanders are Young Lord York’s important guests?”“Yet, you dare hit one of Young Lord York’s guests? Looks like there’s no easy way out of this!”“Whoever did it, kneel and apologize to Young Master Ishikawa! Break y
Harvey laughed, calm.“Just ask Stephen if I have a death wish.”“Ha! Are you still pretending?”Secretary Akina chuckled coldly.“I don’t know where you came from, but how dare you show off in front of Master York! Do you want to die?”“Right! It’s useless! No matter how powerful you are, you’ll be trampled to death for provoking Young Lord York’s important guests!”“Let me tell you something right now! Get the new executive CEO here this instant!”“Tell her she’ll be taken out of her position if she doesn’t show up in three minutes!”“Shut up!”Stephen came to his senses right there and then.His furious scream stunned the people behind him. A second later, they were exhilarated. Stephen was enraged. He was boiling with anger!He was ready to crush someone!“Do you need help, Master York? My hand’s been itching lately. This kept man…”Slap!Stephen swung his back palm across the follower who spoke before adding with a wretched-looking face, “I told you to shut up! Did
Yukiko was a direct descendant of the Ishikawa family. She had been the representative of the Island Nation Embassy in Mordu.She was considered to be the most outstanding person in the younger generation of the family.Her identity could suppress anyone who dared to oppose her. If anyone went against her, they would be going against the Island Nations as a whole.If that was the case, a diplomatic affair would occur.While Taichi was dialing the number, he was extremely proud of himself.Harvey found the name familiar. He barely recalled the time he slapped Yukiko in the face back in Mordu.If it weren’t for Taichi, Harvey wouldn’t even remember such a small fry.Harvey had no intention to stop the call, though. He waited calmly for Taichi to finish.The call got through soon after.Taichi turned on the speakers. A distant yet alluring tone could be heard throughout the entire room.“Who is it?”Taichi’s body trembled as he grew ecstatic.“It’s me, Representative Ishikawa!
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
