Lilian changed her expression frantically and screamed, “No! I don’t trust this little b*stard! He might just sell us out!”“When that happens, we’ll live the rest of our lives behind bars!”“Cut it out, Mother!”“Why would Harvey even do that?!”Mandy had a helpless look on her face.“He’s not that kind of person! How do you still not know him?”“If he’s planning to hurt us, he would’ve just left us here!”“Why would he waste time talking to us?”Harvey glared icily at Lilian.“What are you trying to do?”“Are you really going to wait for Joseph?”“Are you waiting for him to have a guilty conscience? Or are you waiting for pure luck to get you out of this damn place?”“Can’t you be a little more realistic?”“Who else is going to save you other than me?”After sizing up Harvey, Lilian chuckled coldly and sneered, “Wow! You know how to threaten me now, huh?!”“I don’t mind telling you that I do have a backup that can turn the tables in my favor!”“You can have it, but yo
Harvey couldn’t help but clap for Lilian’s unreasonable conditions.He didn’t think that Lilian could get much worse after not meeting her for a while.Harvey shrugged.“I don’t think I can do that for you.”“How about this? I’ll just bail Mandy out.”“You can sit here and wait for Joseph to get you out instead.”Having said that, Harvey turned around and started walking away.“This is too much, Mother! Just give it to him already!” Mandy couldn’t hold in her frustration any longer. She took a deep breath before speaking up.Lilian’s face darkened in an instant.“The gold mine doesn’t belong to you in the first place! Can you not be so unreasonable?!”Lilian was enraged.“What’s with the attitude?! I’m your mother!”“As long as you have nothing to do with this little b*stard, the thirteenth young master will fulfill his part of the contract!”“There’s no problem at all!”“Or are you saying you’re jealous of me, too?!”Having endured many days in jail, Lilian couldn’t h
“And that’s how we got in here. It didn’t matter if we committed a crime or not.”Mandy sighed dolefully.“There’s something I don’t understand. Joseph did so much to gain my mother’s trust and make such an absurd contract, but why?”“Is it because I didn’t reciprocate his feelings? Is that why he’s taking his revenge?”“This might be one of the reasons. But since we’re here, there’s no point thinking about the past anymore,” Harvey replied calmly.“Let’s talk about something else.”“Do you have a backup or not?”“We do,” Mandy quietly replied.“Mother’s pretty unreasonable, but she’s quite careful in terms of business.”“The police have a copy of the contract regarding the gold mine.”“But the real one’s locked inside a storage room of Flutwell International Airport.”Harvey was impressed after hearing Mandy’s words.Indeed, Lilian would stop at nothing to ensure her interests were safe.“Tell me the code to the storage room.”Harvey stood up.“Since Joseph wants to shu
Not long after, a young man in a suit calmly walked inside, accompanied by a few bodyguards and a secretary.The higher-ups and shareholders immediately stood up after seeing the man arrive.“CEO Murray!” they exclaimed in unison.The person was none other than one of Joseph’s subordinates, Ozzy Murray.At the same time, he was also the executive CEO of Hearthstone Corporation. He was managing the company in Joseph’s stead for the time being.“Mmm.”Ozzy nodded at everyone before picking up a cup of black tea from his secretary. After taking a steady sip, he sat on the middlemost seat and said, “Did we inform Longmen’s Law Enforcement to send their representative here for our meeting?”“If they don’t come, then according to our deal, we’ll have to take back all thirty percent of their shares!”Before the gold mine was found in Flutwell, there were many different forces trying to gain more authority inside the city.However, Longmen’s Law Enforcement stood up and maintained or
Everyone put on a righteous look after hearing Ozzy’s words.“No matter how powerful Longmen’s Law Enforcement is, rules are still rules!”“We wouldn't have standards if it weren’t for the rules. Since they don’t care about such little shares, we’ll just take them back according to procedures!”“If their people come and ask for their shares back, we’ll just show them proof of their absence for all ten meetings.”“For the company’s development, we have to uphold justice even if there’s a chance of us offending them!”“That’s right! That’s how it should be!”Everyone fully supported Ozzy’s decision.In reality, all of them had a deep connection with Joseph.They all knew Mitchell was already done for.Joseph was only worried about the company’s change, which was the only reason why he held so many meetings overnight. He did everything by procedure, in order to make sure Longmen’s Law Enforcement would be out of the picture so he could have the thirty percent shares.At such a c
“Forget it.”“We only have one thing to talk about, anyway.”Ozzy glanced at the Royal Oak watch on his wrist before waving his hand.“After getting the higher-ups and shareholders’ agreement, we’ll abolish the thirty percent shares owned by Longmen’s Law Enforcement.”“The shares will be taken back by the thirteenth young master. All we need to do is…”Bam!The door of the multi-functional meeting room was kicked down all of a sudden.Harvey, Rachel, and the others came in with a dozen lawyers, assistants, and secretaries.“Sorry I’m late.”“From now on, I, Harvey York, will take full control of Hearthstone Corporation.”“You can all leave.”Harvey calmly sat on a couch before narrowing his eyes.The higher-ups and shareholders were shocked silly. However, they quickly returned to their senses.“Who are you?!”“How dare you barge into the meeting room on your own!”“Do you know what this place is?”“You plan to take over? Do you think you’re the king of the world?”Ev
Everyone was shocked.The spacious meeting room fell into dead silence.Everyone there was in fact Flutwell’s prominent figures.Ozzy’s follower was barely considered to be in the same circle, but it was still quite impressive for him to be able to cling to Ozzy.Even so, he was sent flying with a single kick by a mere woman.Ozzy’s reputation was being challenged then and there!The beautiful secretary was completely shocked. She covered her mouth so she could hold in her scream.Ozzy’s expression darkened in an instant.He stood up, furious, and stomped toward Harvey with a frosty glare.“This isn’t a place for you to do whatever you want, Harvey!”“Can you bear responsibility for hitting one of my people?”“Do you realize the trouble you’ve got yourself into?”“Oh!”“So you do know who I am!”Harvey stood up as well and approached Ozzy calmly.“Since you know me, then you must know that I was the one who crippled Mitchell. So what if I hit one of your people?”“I’ll
“Hearthstone Corporation isn’t a place you can just barge in without permission!”“You can’t just beat up CEO Murray like that, either!”“Someone call the cops! Get these two arrested!”The higher-ups and shareholders were desperately trying to escape the situation.Some were even sounding out their displeasure, while others were calling the cops.Slap, slap, slap!Harvey didn’t hold back against the passionate crowd and sent every single one of them flying with a slap to the face.“I have Longmen’s Law Enforcement Badge. That means I hold thirty percent of the company’s shares,” he said.“At the same time, I have a contract clearly stating that Joseph gave me his forty percent shares as well.”“Simply put, I have absolute control over the company.”“I’ll come and go as I please!”“I hit Ozzy because he’s trying to take my shares away through underhanded tactics!”“Every single one of you should know that. You were all here from the very beginning, after all.”“I suggest y
Night fell by the time Harvey and the others returned to Grand City.Kenta had already left midway. It was obvious that he knew following Harvey and the others was pointless now.In the meantime, before returning to Grand City, Harvey had already instructed Clarion to spread the news of Origin Sword Style's extermination back to Grand City and how Earth Hall was instrumental in its destruction.By the time Clarion returned to Grand City, he was immediately enthusiastically welcomed back home. Initially, many people had an issue with him suddenly becoming the leader of Earth Hall. However, they did not expect Clarion to be able to single-handedly handle one of the main pillars of Sky Plane, the Origin Sword Style school shortly after he led the Earth Hall.While many did not know what actually transpired, Clarion and his team brought Isoroku's body back to Grand City. Taking Isoroku's body back was a great achievement on its own as it also means that Sky Plane's overall power would
Isoroku immediately crumpled on the ground. The arrogant master of the Origin Sword Style suddenly surrendered and killed himself. There was only bitterness and regret on his face, as if regretting why he did not simply stay and train in isolation. That way, he would not meet the person before him… Harvey.However, no matter how much regret he had, he needed to commit suicide.That was because he knew very well that Harvey had revealed to him his true identity. If he refused to die, Harvey would turn around and completely wipe out the Origin Sword Style. Now that he decisively made such a decision, Harvey would not return to Sky Plane.Harvey looked at Isoroku's body. With a smirk, he said, "That's why I don't like others to find out who I really am." Then, Harvey planted his foot on Isoroku's longsword. There was a loud clang, and the longsword instantly shattered. Its fragments fired in all directions.All the Origin Sword Style elites had been eradicated completely.A few minut
Isoroku's blade slashed downward. It was so fast that it was barely visible to the naked eye. However, before it could even touch Harvey's body, Isoroku suddenly saw him raise his right hand and flicked, hitting the blade when it was just starting to get close.Clang!It was an extremely simple move. However, Harvey's flick reached the blade first, and he immediately parried the attack. Isoroku's entire body shuddered, and his heart skipped a beat. He thought he was already victorious, but he was left with a shocked expression.He raised his blade and wanted to attempt another attack, but he could not do anything for a long while. Harvey was simply standing there with a calm expression. The two of them were close to each other, and Harvey looked like he was completely exposed. However, for someone like Isoroku, when someone was completely exposed, it also meant that he was not exposed at all. If he was not exposed, his blade could not slash downward at him anymore."You… You must h
"The joy's of youth," said Isoroku with a sigh of admiration. "To be young means to be fearless. It also means that there is no respect, and there is ignorance just how difficult it is for something to be overcome. When I'm in a good and chatty mood, you're attempting to anger me. You think that it's your power that makes me pause when I'm the one who's bestowing you this opportunity. You're simply too naive."Harvey calmly replied, "So you want to use your age to force me to respect you. Don't you understand that it's always out with the old and in with the new? If you don't, you'll really get thrown out one day."While the two of them were calmly exchanging words, the truth was from the moment they met each other, they were already clashing against each other. "Looks like there's nothing more to say."Isoroku sighed and slowly pointed the edge of his blade at Harvey. "I will now kill everyone close to you first before slicing your limbs. I'll make you die as you scream in pain."
Harvey was already making quite a concession. When he left with Sora, he was already prepared to kill him once he had arrived at his destination. But since Isoroku came knocking, he did not mind giving Sora up since he was not that important anyway."You're so confident, Harvey. So full of vigor. However, you forgot that in this condition, you're not in a place to negotiate," said Isoroku coldly. "Even if someone's going to come up with the conditions, that person will be me."Let's see now… Release that disappointing son of mine, and then leave your woman behind. Then, you will personally maim the limbs of your own men and then yourself. Only then will I allow you to leave on your knees. How does that sound?" It was clear Isoroku thought little of Harvey in the end."I'm not in the business of making life difficult for unimportant people like you. But since the Origin Sword Style has lost so many people, I need to get something back for them as their Predecessor, correct?"Then, H
"I've already heard your name even before you step foot in Grand City. That's because the Six Schools are all connected to the Origin Sword Style. By defeating all Six Schools alone, you have disrespected me," explained Isoroku, as if he was in the mood for a chat."What's more, you even killed my beloved student Sverker and even took down my worthless son? If it isn't because my source is very well trusted, I couldn't even believe it. For you to reach this level of power at this age, it's beyond amazing. Perhaps it's true when they say that the youths should never be underestimated!" Isoroku said with a sigh of admiration.Dozens of elites stepped out from the other military helicopters. They were probably Isoroku's personal students. All of them looked at Harvey with suspicion and shock. All of them knew how powerful Sverker was, that was why they found it even harder to believe that Harvey could defeat Sverker.Even if they put Sverker's defeat on one side, Sora was accompanied b
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
