Vroooom!The revving of the car engines could be heard. Under such dire circumstances, the driver was barely conscious. He carried out Xynthia’s commands as if he was a robot.The car entered a small road and went into an expressway leading straight to the airport.The Toyota Prados froze, shocked. Then, they hurriedly trailed Xynthia’s car.When the car arrived at the airport, the driver sped right toward the bustling internet hotspot.A lot of people looked over, trying to see what happened.This was a dead end, though; the car had to stop after arriving near a cafe.“What did you come here for, Xynthia?”“You don’t think that you can just fly away now, right?”Riley was so angry that she was laughing.“I won’t say anything if you try to escape through the highway.”“But you got yourself caught in a dead end! What’s the point of struggling in the first place?!”“You did nothing besides make the Hatchet Gang’s lives better!”“Listen to me! Do everything as they say!”“Th
Boss Dart and Dylan were part of the Four Goliaths.Since Dylan was a distant relative of the Bauer family, he cared about his family’s reputation. Thus, it was rare for him to do anything that would incriminate his name.However, Boss Dart was a real troublemaker. He wouldn’t care about useless things like his dignity. Every time he took action, he would never hold anything back.After seeing Boss Dart calmly smoking his cigar, Riley couldn’t help but stomp her feet.“What now? What now?!”“That’s Boss Dart, Xynthia!”“They’ll torture every single one of us before killing us!”“At least keep my body intact when I die…”Riley wasn’t the only one. The other two assistants went pale when they saw the man.They were going mad just thinking about getting tainted before being killed.Following the driver’s lead, the bodyguards locked the doors. Their faces were horrible.Even so, they were still shaking in their boots.Xynthia ignored them. Instead, she looked at the cafe not fa
Perhaps Xynthia’s actions gave the bodyguards some courage.Before, they were trembling in fear inside the car. Then, they gritted their teeth in determination and stepped in front of Xynthia.At this, Boss Dart and his goons guffawed mockingly. They looked at the guards with a spiteful glare. In their eyes, the beautiful-looking Xynthia and the fierce-looking bodyguards were all just lambs to be slaughtered.If the Hatchet Gang willed it, these people would’ve been ground to dust.Seeing the Hatchet Gang looking at Xynthia in such a way, and Boss Dart blowing a puff of smoke with an arrogant look…The driver couldn’t hold back his feelings any longer. He mustered the courage to step outside and held the firearm on his waist.“Show us some respect, Boss Dart! Xynthia’s a celebrity! She’s a top talent! She…”Slap!Before the driver could finish, he was slapped to the ground by one of the Hatchet Gang’s men.A hatchet was then placed right on top of his head before he could fi
Xynthia didn’t blame them, as they were just hired to do their jobs. She took a step forward and glared coldly at Boss Dart and his goons. “The Hatchet Gang, right?”“You think you’re strong?”“Then you better kill me right now!”“If not, you won’t have a chance to grovel when my brother-in-law’s here!”Riley and the others were completely shocked when they heard Xynthia’s words.They didn’t think that Xynthia would act this way, even under these pressing circumstances.Boss Dart and the others froze.They knew Xynthia was quite hard to deal with…But they didn’t think that she still dared to talk big.“Kill you?”A heinous look flashed across Boss Dart’s face.“Of course we’ll do that!”“We’ll do that in my bed later!”“I’ll guarantee you’ll beg for me to kill you when that happens!”“You want to die, don’t you?!”“Your wish is my command!”Boss Dart clapped and exclaimed, “Strip her and find the closest hotel! I’ll deal with her!”“I’d like to see if she’ll still r
The bystanders were completely shocked, so much that they stumbled backward.They were terrified; they knew that something terrible was about to happen that day.“It’s hard to drive around the highlands. I didn’t think that I’d miss one.”Right then, the Land Cruiser’s door was kicked open.Aiden jumped out of the car with an annoyed scowl.Since the main culprit was still alive, his achievement was robbed of him.At the sight of Aiden’s arrogant look and dominant tone, an unspeakable wave of fear occupied Boss Dart’s heart.He stumbled off the ground and wiped the blood off his face, and glared at Aiden.“Who the hell are you, you b*stard?!”“How dare you crash into us! We’re from the Hatchet Gang!”“Do you not care about your superiors?”“You’re completely lawless!”“How dare you challenge the Hatchet Gang?!”“Your fate’s already sealed!”Boss Dart gritted his teeth.Power has an important place in modern society.People like Boss Dart only dared to act pompously beca
While Xynthia was still caught up in her thoughts, Harvey calmly glanced at Boss Dart and dragged his thumb across his neck.Riley, who was hiding on the side of the street, saw Harvey’s gesture and her eyes twitched. She felt that something big was about to happen.Clack!Aiden’s lips curved into a wretched grin when he saw Harvey’s gesture, and then brought out a hunting rifle. He casually aimed it right on Boss Dart’s leg.Bang!Without any hesitation, he pulled the trigger.In the next second, Boss Dart stumbled backward while clutching his leg.The crowd screamed in fear before running away, frightened they would get themselves involved with the mess.“Aaaaagh!”Wails of pain broke the air. Soon enough, only Boss Dart was standing in the middle of the place.“You…”“You people…”“You’re lawless!”“Do you not care about the law?!”“I’m Boss Dart! I’m one of the Four Goliaths of the Hatchet Gang!”Boss Dart was trembling uncontrollably. The confidence he barely muster
Rachel brought out a box of anesthetics and injected one in Boss Dart.She stopped the bleeding from his body to save him from death.Boss Dart’s expression darkened upon seeing what Rachel did.He knew a terrible fate awaited him.Boss Dart, who had been extremely arrogant and had always taken advantage of the citizens, was currently filled with immense hatred and despair.He was a ruthless man of the underworld, but when compared to these people, he felt he was nothing.He was the one who would make the people’s lives a living hell…Now, he had gotten a taste of his own medicine.“You’re still alive, right?”Aiden poked Boss Dart’s head with the hunting rifle.“Lead the way.”“We’re going to deal with the Hatchet Gang right now!”Two Longmen disciples ran over and lifted Boss Dart on a wheelchair.Boss Dart’s fury intensified when he saw that a wheelchair was already prepared for him.“You b*stards! You crossed the damn line!”Bang!Aiden wasted no time pulling the tr
Harvey casually picked up a bottle of soda and took a sip out of it, smiling.“A lot of people have already died. We’ve also crippled one of the Four Goliaths.”“If we don’t destroy the Hatchet Gang once and for all, we’ll have a hard time staying in Flutwell in the future.”“Don’t worry. When we’re done, I’ll treat you to a barbeque.”A strong sense of confidence was radiating from Harvey’s body.“Is your brother-in-law really that impressive, Xynthia?”Riley was shocked to hear Harvey’s words. Soon after, she tried to figure out his identity.‘If this man belongs to a rich family, I’ll have to cling onto him with all my might…’“Brother-In-Law’s a live-in son-in-law! Just like what Mother said, he only got this far because he’s my sister’s kept man,” Xynthia said quietly.Harvey had a lot of identities, but in Xynthia’s eyes, him being her brother-in-law was the most important one.Riley froze at that.“Is he really just a live-in son-in-law?”“Yeah! The kind that does no
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
