Harvey was just too fast—faster than anyone could’ve imagined.Vince’s slash seemed extremely slow in everyone’s eyes, while Harvey sped up in an instant.Lexie, who was certain Vince would win the fight, felt her heart skip a nervous beat. Suddenly, she was on the verge of screaming.Walter—the martial arts expert, had his face completely devoid of all color. A possibility came to mind as he watched the scene unfold before him.The Islanders froze, stunned. They wanted to say something, but it was all too late.Slap!Harvey managed to slap Vince in the face before the latter’s blade came down.Vince only saw darkness in front of him, and his body shook. He had no time to react, and he was sent flying in an instant.A loud bang followed suit. Vince, who had been extremely arrogant before, slammed right into the ground, without any strength left to crawl back up.Harvey crossed his arms as he looked calmly in front of him.‘A single slap?!’Harvey managed to send Vince flying
Harvey calmly swung his palm every time he spoke.Vince was screaming in anger as blood seeped uncontrollably out of his orifices.He was a God of War!He was unparalleled!All ten Sword Saints of the Island Nations had carefully taught him everything, just for him to rise…But it was useless!Vince was completely beaten down by Harvey, who was only getting a little serious. The former no longer had the strength to fight back.Those were just simple slaps to the face!If Harvey used a legendary move from some sacred martial art training grounds to defeat Vince, he could’ve at least acknowledged it.Not only was Vince physically hurt after the constant slaps in the face, but his dignity was also utterly tarnished!The slaps were just too plain and simple!And yet, a God of War like Vince couldn’t do anything against them!Not even when he used all his might!“Come! Tell me, Young Lord York!”“With your strength, your character, and your attitude…”“What right do you have
“At the same time, the Yorks of Hong Kong will need to be restructured completely from today onward!”“The Islanders will be strictly prohibited from entering the borders of Hong Kong and Las Vegas!”“All houses of the family must obey this order!”“Henceforth, only one house will hold the York Badge.”“The lord’s orders will represent the highest order of the family!”“And from now on, I will no longer be in charge of the family affairs!”“As for who’s going to be the young lord, we’ll call it here for now!”“The lord can decide that in the future!”After clearly expressing her attitude, Grandma York turned around and left.For a brief moment, she looked at Harvey with a cold gaze. Doubt, fear, and admiration could be seen in her eyes.As for her beloved grandson, she didn’t spare a single glance at him.In reality, Vince’s fate had been sealed the moment he incited a coup.To a certain extent, Grandma York giving up her authority for Marcel was her compromise in order to
‘What?!’‘Mandy and the others are missing?’‘How?’Harvey knew Joseph had Mandy invited to Flutwell to take a look at a so-called gold mine…But he didn’t think they would disappear immediately after that.“Do you have any other specifics I should know about?”Harvey walked to the side and took a deep breath to regain his calm.“Not at the moment. However, I’ve already mobilized all of my forces to look for Mandy.”“That said, I’ll have to be frank.”“Her disappearance doesn’t seem like a coincidence to me.”“Someone did this deliberately.”“I can’t tell what their goal is, though.”“I’ll report back to you when I find anything else.”“No need.”Harvey took a deep breath. His eyes were frosty. “Flutwell is Longmen’s territory.”“These people targeted Mandy in order to take my position as the head of the Longmen’s Law Enforcement.”“Contact Rachel and Aiden. Tell them to get inside Flutwell with their men.”“I’ll get there tonight.”…Early in the following morning
“It’s almost time, Sir York.”While Harvey was pondering the situation, Aiden showed up in a suit. He brought Harvey a cup of tea respectfully.This time, Harvey specifically asked for him and Rachel to come.Aiden felt this was a good chance for him to climb the ranks under Harvey. He was exhilarated.Rachel, on the other hand, was sitting in the corner, emotionless.Her exquisite face was filled with caution as she studied the surroundings.As a member of Longmen, she knew full well that Flutwell was a dangerous place. This was Longmen’s territory, after all.The locals of this place were well-versed in martial arts. Even children who just came out of their mothers’ wombs would know how to throw a mean punch.Together with the Bauer family, one of the top ten families of Country H, the forces of Flutwell had quite a strong background.Mandy’s situation was deeply connected with the Bauer family as well.Rachel came here with the will to lay down her life if need be.Harvey
Xynthia knew that if she signed the papers, both her mother and sister would have no way out of the situation.After meeting with Dylan, she knew she had to show her resolve and not give in.“My God! Even if you don’t sign the damn papers, do you think you can stop all this from happening?”“This isn’t Mordu!”“You’re not the young master of Longmen or the Golden Palace! You don’t even belong to the Bauer family!”“Let me tell you something! Other than these people, nobody else has the power to stop all this from happening!”“Right! I heard a young man was appointed as the head of Longmen’s Law Enforcement. He should be able to deal with this! He sounds pretty capable!”“But a small fry like you surely isn’t acquainted with a man like that!”The assistant glared at Xynthia with a disdainful look.“I’ll be frank, Xynthia.”“So-called celebrities like you are just toys for the major figures.”“You don’t actually think you’re on the same level as them, do you?”“Manager Bowie’
“Where’s the law to you, Riley?”Xynthia frowned.“I only worked together with Dylan for a commercial.”“Besides, my mother and sister were screwed over by that b*stard Joseph!”“I don’t care if Dylan doesn’t want to uphold justice, but he even asked me to sleep with him and sign the contract to prove my mother and sister are involved in the fraud!”“That’s just disgusting, don’t you think?”“Don’t you understand? They won’t be able to survive if I sign the contract!”Riley laughed coldly.“Don’t say I didn’t warn you, Xynthia.”“Law? Justice?”“In this day in age, the devil takes all the spoils!”“You think you can get out of the situation alive after going against the Golden Palace and the Bauer family?”“Don’t be naive! Think about how to save your skin!”“Sign the contract and spread your legs, and you’ll get out of the mess scot-free!”“If you keep insisting on your so-called morals, don’t blame me for what happens next!”“I didn’t hire you for a high price just for
Riley changed her expression and gnashed her teeth.“There’s no other way now, Xynthia!”“Do everything Manager Bowie wants you to!”“That way, we’ll be able to keep our lives!”“Things won’t go well if you don’t!”Xynthia ignored Riley, who was making a big fuss out of the situation, and narrowed her eyes as she looked in front of her.“Drive to the nearest police station!”Under such circumstances, this was the best way to go about it.“Right!”The driver picked up the pace and drove to the nearest police station.When they almost arrived, several cars from the Hatchet Gang were already waiting on the side of the road.A man was leaning by the window while smoking a cigarette with a playful look. The Hatchet Gang had blocked off every single one of Xynthia’s routes.She wanted to go to the police station?Impossible!Cold sweats drenched the driver’s back.“We can’t get in! The Hatchet Gang’s here!”The driver was sweating profusely.He was also from Flutwell. Becaus
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
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
