Harvey York chuckled while waving his hand, stopping Rachel Hardy from doing anything.Then, he showed a faint smile while looking at Logan Bowie.“Let’s not talk about whether I’ll accept your conditions or not.“Even if I did, what’s the point of you giving me this money?“Are you trying to disrespect me? You think you can humiliate me like this?”“What? Are fifteen dollars not enough for you?”Logan showed a cold look.“I’m already paying my respect for a Longmen’s servant like you!“Don’t you realize that everyone from Longmen is just servants for the Bauer family?!“You’re all just dogs!“I already gave you enough respect! Stop trying to exploit it already!“Let me tell you something! If it weren’t for Elder Bauer being here, you wouldn’t even get the damn money!“You’d even have to pay me a hundred and fifty million dollars as a mental anguish fee!Logan wretchedly laughed after.“And if you don’t do that, I’ll throw you behind bars so you can stay there for the res
“Aaaaagh!”A horrible scream came out of Logan Bowie’s mouth.The shattered wooden table and his face full of splinters made the second-in-command look extremely miserable.He tried his hardest to struggle, but Harvey York was still grabbing onto his hair. There was no way for him to move out of the way. He could only stay put while quietly accepting his fate.The whole crowd was shocked by the sight.Many people were at a loss. They could not fathom what had just happened.Nobody thought that Harvey would be this ruthless!Not only did he not care about Logan’s identity, but he also dared to slam Logan’s head on a table in front of the entire crowd!He was utterly disrespecting Logan at this moment!Mac Bauer came to his senses and started screaming, “You little b*stard!“What are you doing?!”“How dare you lay your hands on Director Bowie?!” exclaimed Lydia Bauer.“I’ll kill you!”Lydia pulled out a longsword before charging right at Harvey.The other eight followers sh
Logan Bowie’s entire body was trembling incessantly. The moment his face was patted, the sharp pain instantly brought him back to his senses again.He managed to calm himself down before he burst out in anger.“You b*stard! How dare you touch me?!“You’ll regret doing that!”Slap!Harvey York wasted no time and held onto Logan’s hair as he swung the back of his palm across his face.Along with the sound of a resounding slap, another bright red palm print was showing on Logan’s face. He gritted his teeth while his face was swollen like a pig.“B*stard! How dare you hit me?!“I won’t let you get away with this!”Harvey sighed.“Don’t you understand the situation you’re in?“I’m genuinely curious. How did you even survive this long?“How did you manage to get yourself in your current position?“You don’t even know what kind of situation you’re in!”Harvey swung the back of his palm across Logan’s face. Blood immediately spurted out of his mouth while the other side of his fa
“I order you!“Apologize to Director Bowie!“Right now!“This instant!“Immediately!“Kneel!“Compensate for the damages!“And accept your punishment!”Mac Bauer took a step forward!A terrifying aura was instantly exuded when a stone slab on the ground shattered!“If you don’t do exactly as I say, I’ll kill you!”Harvey York merely smiled.“What? Are you going to take advantage of your superiority as well?“Do you think you’re worthy?”Mac’s expression darkened in a split second. With his identity as one of the elders of the Bauer family, no one has ever dared to go against him.“You b*stard!”He took a step forward and charged right at Harvey after hearing the insults directed toward him.He even used his Eagle Claw move, prepared to pierce Harvey’s head with his bare hand.Mac was at least reasonably capable of being considered an expert.But right as he leaped forward, Rachel Hardy, who had been nearly invisible during the entire conversation, stepped forward and
“No matter how powerful you are, you’re still just a servant for the Bauer family!“Harvey York!“Rachel Hardy!“You’ll pay for what you’ve done today!”Rachel smiled without giving a reply. Her master was a man who could easily kill off Gods of War.He was a man who had total control over Hong Kong and Las Vegas.Mac Bauer was nothing compared to him!He had no right to threaten Harvey!“Regret?“We’ll pay for this, you say?Harvey stood up and walked toward Mac with a playful look.“Since we’re here…“I do want to see how you’re going to make me regret what I’ve done.“What sort of price are you making me pay?”Before Mac could even react, Harvey swiftly slapped him across his face.Since Mac was an experienced fighter himself, he used all his might to block the attack immediately after sensing Harvey’s attack.But before he could even raise his arm, he felt a sharp pain on his face when he blacked out. His whole body was sent flying before smashing right into a wall.
“The thirteenth young master?Harvey York coldly chuckled while he walked forward before he patted Mac Bauer’s face.“Who does Joseph Bauer think he is?“You say that Longmen belongs to the Bauer family?“Tell that to Samuel Bauer. See if he agrees with you.“See if the Elder Group agrees with you.“See if the thirty-six branch leaders of Longmen agree with you.“Let me tell you something. Even if they all do, I, the head of Law Enforcement of Longmen, do not!“All of them serve me!“Other than Samuel himself, I’m the one with the highest position within Longmen!“And if Samuel doesn’t know how to behave, I’ll kick him out myself!“This is my status within Longmen!“You don’t mean anything to me!“It’s funny you don’t even realize that, yet you’re here trying to show off in front of me?“Who gave you the courage to run your mouth here?“Who told you I’m just a servant for the Bauer family?“Do you even have the right?“Are you even worthy?“Or are you saying you can b
Mac Bauer was boiling with rage after hearing Harvey York’s words, but he would not even dare to move a single inch. All he could do was grit his teeth.He swore in his heart that if Harvey were ever alone, he would slap the ever-living Hell out of him till he died.Logan Bowie eventually came to his senses then. His eyes twitched because of the sharp pain on his face, while his heart was filled with hatred and resentment.But since Mac had already given up, there was no way Logan would even speak up.“We’re leaving!”Logan gritted his teeth and waved his hand to call off his subordinates.“I told you. My chair costs fifteen million dollars.Harvey smiled while pointing at the mess on the ground.“Pay up before you leave!“And also, you only have forty minutes left to release Lilian Yates and Mandy Zimmer.“You better hurry up. Don’t even try to test my patience.”Logan was so furious that blood almost spurted out of his mouth.Kayden Balmer held a check with an odd look on
Kayden Balmer trembled after hearing Harvey York’s calm words.Soon after, he bowed with both his arms beside him.“Don’t worry, Sir York. I’m quite familiar with the people there. I can’t make them release Lilian Yates and Mandy Zimmer, but I can definitely arrange something to make them feel more comfortable.“But why do you think Logan would keep them locked up?“He suffered quite a big loss today. Is he not scared of you?“You’re like the head of Law Enforcement!”Harvey merely let out a chuckle.“Oh, you. Didn’t you hear what Mac Bauer said?“Longmen belongs to the Bauer family.“This means that in Flutwell, the Bauer family’s already using one of the four cornerstones of Country H as their weapon.“People in Flutwell don’t fear Longmen, but they’re terrified of the Bauer family.“Under these circumstances, do you think they’d care about my identity?“Besides, they’re the ones who are trying to force me out of my position.“Looks like my existence alone is hindering s
"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."
