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
“I don’t care who you are!”“I don’t care what background you have!”“If you hurt Boss Dart, you go against us!”“We’ll rip you to shreds!”“Let him go right now!”Under the gangster’s lead, his companions stepped forward with wretched looks.The Hatchet Gang were the ones who took advantage of others for so many years, and not the other way around.Boss Dart was currently strapped to the hood of the car after being completely crippled.Boss Dart, who was on the verge of death, chuckled coldly after seeing his brothers standing up for him. He felt extremely confident in his chances to survive.“You’re dead, you b*stards!”“How dare you cripple me!”“You want to destroy the Hatchet Gang?!”“Ha! What a f*cking joke!”“Just look at us! How are you supposed to get your way in?!”“Are you gonna ram your heads at us?!”“You’re dead!”“There’s no turning back!”“I’ve seen a lot of people who have a death wish, but it’s my first time seeing someone this eager to die!”Riley b
Even so, surely Aiden wouldn’t give them a chance to retaliate!He burst out laughing and stepped on the pedal once more with a crazed look on his face. Without warning, the Toyota Prado charged forward.A few elites would be knocked into the air every time Aiden charged forward.Aiden had no intention to hold back, regardless of whether the gangsters wielded hatchets or firearms.This rich playboy was indeed quite ruthless. Ordinary people wouldn’t be as well-prepared as him.The wicked would always suffer more evil. This incident was the embodiment of that meaning.In a blink of an eye, almost a hundred people from the camp fell to the ground screaming, without any strength left to fight back.Only the man with slicked back hair was left standing. He trembled uncontrollably.Seeing that Aiden was about to ram him with the car, he couldn’t hold his feelings back any longer.“You b*stard!”“Get out of the f*cking car and fight me if you dare!”Bang!Before he was done talki
The Hatchet Gang fell into utter chaos when someone sounded the alarm.Many elites of the gang rushed out as soon as they could.Aiden didn’t care about any of that. He simply dragged his hunting rifle and kept on walking forward.Not any ordinary person was able to muster the same calmness he had.Harvey had no intention to stop Aiden from occupying the center of the base.Riley, on the other hand, felt her throat go dry from all the chaos. The sight in front of her was just too ludicrous. Even the greatest Hollywood films weren’t as intense.None of this was realistic at all!Riley couldn’t help but rub her frozen face, shivering in fear.“There are at least hundreds of people here, Harvey!”“Your subordinate’s good, but the Hatchet Gang has strength in numbers!”“It’s unrealistic to deal with all these people with just one gun!”“Everyone in Flutwell knows there are at least a hundred guards posted in every single courtyard of the Hatchet Gang! Each one of them is a lot
Before Riley could even finish her sentence, her whole body froze and a horrible look appeared on her face.Aiden didn’t give anybody a chance to react and kicked the door down before raising his hunting rifle, catching the men inside the room off guard.Bam!A loud bang could be heard, and the man at the very front was sent flying before crashing into the people behind him.Aiden took a step forward and pulled the trigger at the confused goons who were lying on the ground.None of them had any chance of even getting close to Aiden. In just a single moment, they were only left with the strength to wail in pain as they rolled on the ground.“You b*stard!”The man in front was boiling with anger at the sight. He was about to pull his gun out, but…Aiden laughed again and took a step toward the man, and placed the barrel of his rifle right on the man’s head.Bam!Before the man could react, Aiden slammed his rifle against the man’s head. The man saw darkness in front of his eyes
An elegant woman with short hair and a black rose tattooed on her chest strode forward, her face cold.“How dare you cause such a mess in our base!”“You have a death wish?!”Aiden chuckled after hearing those words. Then, he pulled out a grenade.Harvey froze; he didn’t expect that Aiden would have such a thing with him. ‘Did he have a small arsenal with him?’Harvey took a step forward to stop Aiden from pulling the pin of the grenade.Then, he said to the woman, “Tell Kayden to get out of here!”“I’ll give him one minute.”“If we don’t see him after that…”“I’ll have every single one of you kneel at the city center to repent for your sins.”Harvey’s words were calm; not a trace of anger could be heard from him.However, those words were enough to enrage the Hatchet Gang completely.“You b*stard!”“Who the hell are you?!”“How dare you act so high and mighty in front of us!”A young man with a buzz cut couldn’t hold back his anger and screamed furiously at Harvey bef
"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."
