Harvey York calmly looked at his hidden card. It did not seem like he wanted to add another card.Jason Leo’s heart skipped a beat after seeing the sight. He snapped his fingers at the very next moment.Snap!Harvey’s pupils became a little sluggish.His expression returned to normal soon after.Jason burst out laughing after seeing what happened. “Harvey, if you want a chance to win, you better add more cards! If not, I’ll definitely beat you here!”Obviously, Jason truly believed that his mild hypnosis would make Harvey bust again.A hint of struggle could be seen on Harvey’s face before he quietly exclaimed, “Another!”The dealer smiled before carefully dealing another card to Harvey. It was a two.Jason froze after seeing the card. He never thought that Harvey would have such a low number.After taking a deep breath, Jason regained his composure.“You only have three points at this point, Harvey! Even if you have a ten face-down, you’ll only have thirteen points! You d
The effects were quite strong after the three snaps. Cold sweats started to trickle down Harvey York’s forehead when he seemed really anxious.After seeing what happened, Jason Leo knew that the mild hypnosis was no longer working that well on Harvey. He needed to overwhelm Harvey with something else…He had no choice but to fan the flames.“Why don’t we raise the stakes even higher?”A playful smirk was showing on Jason’s face.“If you add another card and still win against me, I’ll cancel my engagement with Queenie York! How’s that sound?!”Queenie stood up furiously.“Don’t do it, Harvey!” bellowed Queenie.Anyone could tell that Harvey had one too many cards already.“If we win this round, we’ll win everything! A wedding is nothing compared to this!” Leslie Clarke screamed.“Don’t do anything reckless, Sir York!” yelled Yoana Mendoza.“Other than that, I can even be your humble servant! I’ll bite whoever you ask me to!” said Jason calmly after hearing all the furious scr
When Vince York came out of the blue to cause trouble, Harvey York glanced at him with a cold gaze.Vince, who wanted to keep provoking Harvey, could not help but have his heart skip a beat.He instinctively looked at Jason Leo before an unbelievable thought came to mind.Jason’s face had completely lost all color. He reached out his hand while emotionlessly staring into Harvey’s eyes, then snapped his fingers once more.His mild hypnosis, which had always worked in the past, had no effect whatsoever. Nothing happened besides a bit more blood coming out of Jason’s mouth.Harvey calmly smiled.“No need to snap your fingers again. It’s useless.“Your mild hypnosis has no effect on me.”Jason’s expression frantically changed, as if he realized that Harvey had already seen through his tricks.He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.“I don’t know what you’re talking about, Harvey.“If you’re going to accuse me of cheating, then you better show some solid proof!“I
Pure shock!The entire crowd was completely shocked!The Knights Templar that Jason Leo brought along were all frozen stiff while feeling extremely sluggish.One of them even slapped himself across the face a couple of times to make sure that he was not dreaming.Queenie York and the others stayed calm to lessen the impact of what just happened.The God of Gambling!This was the true God of Gambling!Harvey York had already planned everything since the very beginning!Jason, who had been talking big the entire time, was just a clown at this point!Even if he kept pressuring Harvey…Even if he kept forcing Harvey to add more cards so he would feel powerless…Harvey still managed to win despite all this!This was ridiculous! This was simply shocking!Jason immediately figured that Harvey might have been unaffected by the mild hypnosis since the beginning and that he was just acting the whole time…So Jason would pay a huge price.“An ace of spades?! Am I dreaming?!“We wo
Along with Harvey York’s words, two LCD TVs slowly descended.Mateo Leo’s matches were being played on the TVs.Every time he snapped his fingers, the opponent’s eyes would be in a daze before asking for another card. Everything could be seen in the footage.This was the biggest proof there was. Nobody would've seen anything odd if it was just a single footage.But since there was a lot of different footage, even an idiot would figure something out after seeing Mateo doing the same thing repeatedly.Jason’s match was played on TV soon after.Every time he snapped his fingers, Harvey would ask for another card. Everything was clearly shown to the people.The crowd gasped. They were completely shocked before showing derisive looks toward Jason.Jason immediately showed a horrible expression. He understood why he lost that day. Harvey had already seen through his tricks and planned around them beforehand.He coldly glared at Mateo. If it were not for the useless fool playing it s
Jason’s expression took a drastic turn upon seeing all the firearms pointed at him.He narrowed his eyes. Then, he laughed coldly. “So what if you win against me, Harvey?”“You want my life? Do you have the right to do that?”“As the baron of The Empire, the deputy commander of the Knights Templar, and a God of War, you have no right to take my life!”Mateo stood up furiously, his hand on the firearm strapped on his waist.“Protect Young Master Leo!”About twenty descendants of the Knights Templar stood up in an instant at his command, their eyes sharpened into fierce glares.They were quite capable, and every single one of them had the strength to fight ten people on their own.Even if Harvey had a lot more men compared to them, they were still fearless.Vince’s expression changed as well.“You insulted Young Master Leo at the table before, Harvey! This round doesn’t count!”“If you’re still going to cause trouble here, you’ll be going against me and the Yorks of Hong Kon
“Go!”Eighteen Longmen disciples went right after Jason upon Morgan’s command.Some of them wielded swords, while others wielded shackles. They wanted to put Jason in place before anything else.Harvey would have the final say as to whether Jason would live or die.Those from wealthy families immediately changed their expressions at such a sight. They knew full well that a big fight was about to break out.“Stay back!”Mateo took a step forward and took the safety of his gun off before pulling the trigger at the approaching disciples.Bang, bang, bang!Bullets flew out everywhere. The disciples didn’t have time to react and were all shot in an instant.Bang, bang, bang!When Mateo was done firing the round, he pounced forward and sent the disciples flying with his fists.In just a single moment, the Longmen disciples who took action were all beaten up.The remaining disciples showed utterly horrible expressions.They didn’t expect the Knights Templar to be this unreasonabl
“If you know what’s best for you, you’ll get as far away from here as possible!”“The so-called contract doesn’t count!”“Let me go, and maybe I’ll think of canceling the engagement between me and Queenie!”“You’ll get the top four families of Hong Kong to send half of their assets right to my doorstep, then put the Mordu Casino-Palace under my name! I’ll consider leaving their subordinates alive after that.”“I’m being extremely generous right now!”Jason’s expression was as cold as ice as he threatened Harvey.“Since you won, I’ll give you a chance.”“Don’t blame me for what happens next if you don’t do as I say!”Harvey narrowed his eyes at Jason.“I don’t care if you cancel the engagement or if you’ll bury the hatchet.”“Everything’s written in black and white right here.”“We have video footage too.”“Since you lost, you’ll have to acknowledge it and abide by the contract.”“But now, not only are you denying it, but you’re also trying to haggle with me.”“Have you lo
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."
There were two men in extravagant yet classical outfits in the helicopter. Then, one of the men who were a little paler got out of the helicopter. The other man simply showed his face in the shadows of the helicopter's cabin.The man with the pale face gave Harvey a smile and bowed to him from a distance. His etiquette was perfect, and he was remarkably well-mannered.Then, he gave Harvey a gentle smile and said, "Hello, Mr. Harvey. Your reputation precedes you. Allow me to introduce myself. I'm one of the persons in charge of the Sky Plane Admin Board. I'm Fujihara Kenta, a member of the Island Nation's ruling royal family. I'm also Daichi's younger brother. My brother has just given me a call saying that he's waiting for you at Grand City's Paradise Island Restaurant. He hoped that you could deliver the Chapter of Ascension as promised."Harvey's expression turned cold. After signaling Clarion to hold their positions and to protect Mandy, then he walked over and narrowed his eyes.
Mandy looked a little shaken in the smoke, but after she had regained her composure, there was a hint of calmness in her eyes. But the moment she saw Harvey, there was no hiding her joy.The two of them looked at each other. It seemed like it had been a very long time since they last met each other, especially after such a struggle.After hesitating a little, Mandy said breathlessly, "Harvey, you…"And then, she could not continue after that. From being husband and wife, and arriving at this point in time. All she could say was that this was fate. Mandy did not even know how to face Harvey anymore. She was worried that it was all a dream, a dream that she had while she was dying. And once she awakened, she would once again be pulled back into a reality of despair.Once she was sure that it was not a dream, she suddenly cried. "Harvey, it really is you…""I'm sorry. I was a little late. I should have come sooner," said Harvey as he walked over and held Mandy in his arms. He was fee
After Sora had said his piece to Harvey, he immediately roared, "Scram! All of you, move aside! That way, I can consider letting you all live! Otherwise, none of you can leave Sky Plane alive!"Slap!Harvey was not letting Sora have his way. Instead, he slapped Sora's face to the point where he fell to the ground. "Do you think you have the right to order me around?"Sora crawled back up and angrily yelled, "You dare to touch me, you fool?!"Slap!Harvey gave another slap. "So what if I touch you? You think I can't? Come now. Tell me who's the one behind all this?"Sora coldly replied, "There's no one else except me!"Slap!Harvey delivered another slap. "You? It's not that I'm trying to underestimate you, but someone with your brain can't think of such a scheme. Not only did someone leak out information to me, having Sverker to wait for me, even you are here to humiliate my woman. And you tell me there's no one else pulling the strings?"Harvey's expression turned cold. "I'm
All the Origin Sword Style elites only had horror-streaked faces when they saw Sora standing face to face with Harvey. They did not dare to make any move at all. There was no question about it. Harvey's decisiveness and calmness had already filled their hearts with terror to the point that Harvey's gaze were enough to make the elites shudder and fall on their knees.When faced with someone so powerful like Magnus, they had already lost the faith to make any attacks.Harvey looked at Sora, whose face was pale. With a smile, he said, "Do you want my woman to undress?"Sora's eyes twitched as he instinctively wanted to retreat. But in the end, he managed to compose himself. He gritted his teeth and replied, "Impossible! How can you be alive? Sverker went to stop you together with 500 Origin Sword Style elites! It was enough to kill multiple True Warriors! How is it possible that you're appearing before me unharmed!" Sora was almost screaming in the end. There was despair and regret in
