Clap clap clap!“As expected from an expert like you, Sir York.“No wonder you’d dare defy Grandma York herself.“I just don’t know if you’re actually a formidable young man or just plain stupid.”A derisive tone could be heard.A few people were seen walking out of the forest.Those people were all wearing green long sleeve shirts while showing expressions as cold as ice.A skinny old man was standing in the very middle.The man had a pallid and clean-shaven face. He was playing with his fidget walnuts as he was squinting at Harvey, full of disdain.An arrogant and dominant aura could be clearly felt on him!“Manager York?!”Queenie’s expression changed slightly after seeing the man.“Who?” asked Harvey. He did not expect someone in Hong Kong would still dare act this domineering before him.That was why this person piqued his interest.A frown could be seen on Queenie’s beautiful face.“This is the servant of the previous lord of the family. He’s been serving under him
“You b*stard!“How dare you speak to Manager York like that?!”A man in a green shirt walked forward with a cold smirk on his face.“I’ll smack your mouth wide open!“I’m not worthy, you say?”Manager York took a step forward and calmly waved his hand, signaling his men to step back.Then, he crossed his arms as he glared at Harvey York.“I’m the manager of the Yorks of Hong Kong,” said Manager York slowly.“I’m the previous lord and Grandma York’s most trusted subordinate!”Harvey let out a chuckle. “I didn’t expect a mere servant could be this arrogant…” said Harvey, smiling warmly.“Though, I do want to ask!“What did I do for you to demand me to kneel?”Queenie York wanted to say something after seeing Harvey go against Manager York like that, but she immediately gave up after seeing his attitude…She understood her brother very well.Harvey was miffed.“What did you do?“Don’t you understand?”Manager York furiously stomped on the ground!Cracks were forming al
Harvey York calmly looked at Manager York and the others before he said, “I might have the same surname, but that doesn’t mean I’m a part of you people.“Your higher-ups mean nothing to me.“As for Grandma York…“Her words are absolute to you…“But, they don’t mean sh*t to me.“If you want to play pretend, just do it within the family.“Stop embarrassing yourself in public!”“Ignorant kid!” a man in a green shirt yelled while pointing at Harvey.“How dare you insult Grandma York?!“You’re finished!“God can’t save you now!“I’ll break your f*cking limbs!“I’ll make you understand what happens when you defy Grandma York!“You…”Slap!Before the man could even finish his words, Harvey already took a step forward and sent him flying off with a slap.Everyone went dead silent after seeing such a horrifying sight.The stewards under Manager York’s command had immense statuses in both Hong Kong and Las Vegas…They represented the authority of the Yorks of Hong Kong and the
Harvey York showed a calm look on his face while he spoke in a playful tone.Then, he brought out some tissues and started wiping his hands arrogantly.Manager York’s eyes were frantically twitching at this very moment.When he finally came to his senses, he furiously stomped his feet to the ground and yelled, “How dare you?!“Harvey York!“You arrogant b*stard!“You have the guts to hit the stewards of the family?!“These are Grandma York’s men here!“Do you even care about the Yorks of Hong Kong?!“Does Grandma York even matter to you?!”Harvey merely let out a chuckle.“Are you blind?“Didn’t you see them come at me first?“Disrespecting superiors is a sin for the Yorks of Hong Kong!“As the lord’s eminent guest, my status is absolute!“You can’t even figure that out as the manager of the family, and yet you’re here rambling to me about rules?”His gaze was as cold as ice then.“Or are you saying that you made up all those rules?“When it’s good for you, you’ll tal
“If it weren’t for Dean Cobb himself, what could you even do against Miyata Shinosuke?!“If it weren’t for the Sentries of York, what could you even do against Akio Yashiro?!“You thought you were strong, but you only got lucky!“You don’t seem to know the true extent of my power either!“And yet you dare challenge me?!“Didn’t you know that I was trained by Andy York himself?!“You think I’m just an old man showing off with these people here?“You’re wrong!“Dead wrong!”Manager York took a step forward before releasing his aura.A gust of wind blew all over the place, picking up countless fallen leaves in the process. Serious looks could be seen on everyone’s faces when they saw the sight.They could clearly feel just how strong Manager York was.“I’m giving you one last chance, Harvey York!“Kneel!“Accept your punishment!“Grovel in front of Grandma York and plead guilty!“When you’re done, get your *ss out of Hong Kong and never come back!“If you don’t, I’ll brea
Harvey York completely ignored the man while curiously looking at the mountain path.Right as Manager York passed out, a Toyota Century, that had been parked there for some time, had its rear door opened all of a sudden.A petite skinny old man could be seen coming out of the car.His hair was casually flowing behind him when he wore a discolored robe.He was emotionless as he steadily trod forward.“Master Jacknife!”The men in green shirts instantly slammed their knees on the ground after seeing the old man.He was Grandma York’s best expert, after all.‘Jacknife!’Harvey took a good look at the man while his interest piqued.Legends said that Jacknife was a God of War himself. Judging from the man’s attitude, he did seem quite terrifying already.Jacknife’s gaze locked onto Harvey when he slowly walked closer without a change in expression. It was as if he was just taking a stroll outside.Queenie York, who was standing behind Harvey, instinctively stepped in front while
“Excuse me.”Harvey York smiled before we casually picked up a sword on the ground.“Jacknife, right?“My knees are a little stiff. I can’t kneel like this.“And I don’t think I’m an ant either.“So, why don’t I send you off instead?”“Send me off?”A playful look was showing on Jacknife’s face.“I have to admit. This is my first time seeing someone this arrogant in front of me after so many years.“Anyway, it’s only natural. After all, you don’t even care about Grandma York in the first place.Jacknife then slowly pulled out the sword on his waist.“Three minutes.“Judging from your strength, three minutes should be enough for me to deal with you.“When I’m done with you…“I’ll have to ask for Grandma York’s forgiveness.“After all, you lived for another twelve hours.“This is my fault!”“Three minutes? That’s too long.Harvey chuckled.“Make it one.“I’ll have my morning tea after that.”“You ignorant fool!”Jacknife’s expression was as cold as ice after hearing
“You’re pretty good, Kid. You must be quite outstanding amongst the younger generation.“It’s a shame that you’re still not trained enough!A confident smile was showing on Jacknife’s face at that moment.“You probably could’ve defeated me if given enough time…“But now that you’re here, you have no choice but to die!”Jacknife lightly cracked his neck to revitalize himself so he could go all out.Harvey York simply shrugged.“Capable people don’t talk too much. You seem pretty talkative, so you must be pretty useless yourself.”Harvey was still quite impressed by Jacknife’s skills…But since he had no sense of right and wrong, his heart was considered to be somewhat impure.In Harvey’s eyes, people like that would not be too impressive even if they were a God of War.It was only a matter of time before they got crushed.Swish!Jacknife’s expression changed slightly. He did not even pay his respect to Harvey, who was being way more arrogant than him at this moment.He swa
"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."
