After hanging up, Harvey took Xynthia to the Flutwell Police Station immediately.After going through the procedures to get Lilian and Mandy out of jail, Harvey provided his whereabouts last night to the police and evidence supporting his claim.After all, Ezra and Dylan were targeted because of him.To prevent the enemy from getting the police’s support, Harvey simply decided to defend himself first.Logan, Flutwell Police Station’s second-in-command, was confused but had no reason to decline Harvey’s testimony, especially when Harvey came here himself.When everything was all dealt with, it was already three o’clock in the afternoon.While Harvey was waiting at the front door for Lilian and Mandy, Rachel and a huge group of people showed up.Other than lawyers, assistants, and bodyguards, there were a few familiar disciples of Longmen whom Rachel picked from Longmen’s Law Enforcement.Rachel was indeed quite talented. If it were anyone else, they wouldn’t be able to restructu
Harvey kept Jordan in the back of his head after seeing the two walk out. “You’re fine now,” Harvey said after taking a step forward.Mandy nodded lightly; she didn’t think that she would be released without a scratch after three days.She could only imagine the things Harvey did just for her to get out safely.“Thank you, Harvey.”Mandy let out a sigh of relief. Her eyes fell on Rachel, who was standing not far away from her.“This is…” “Let me introduce you. This is the executive CEO of the Hearthstone Corporation, Miss Rachel Hardy.”Harvey showed a warm smile.“As of right now, she has seventy percent of the company’s shares.”“Simply put, she has total control over Flutwell’s gold mine.”Mandy was shocked to hear Harvey’s introduction. She didn’t expect Rachel to be a talented woman as well.Lilian, who had not said a single word for the longest time, froze. Then, she tugged Harvey’s shirt.“You’re saying that this woman has seventy percent of the company’s shares?!
“What did you just say, you little b*stard?!”Lilian Yates was infuriated after seeing her once-obedient daughter rebelling against her.“Repeat it! I dare you! I’ll beat you till you die!”She hated Harvey York more and more then. Not only did he get Mandy Zimmer to side with him, he even made her younger daughter go against her.Everything was Harvey’s fault.Mandy rubbed her temples when Lilian and Xynthia Zimmer started fighting.“Enough. Both of you.“We just got out of prison. Can’t we have some peace and quiet?“Besides, do you really think that ridiculous contract can actually get you the shares, Mother?“Even if you did have it all, do you think you can take control of it?“There are so many wealthy families here in Flutwell. Do you think they’d let a woman with no background here control their very lives?“Those shares aren’t good for anyone! It’s a reminder!“People with no power will die if they get ahold of the shares!”Lilian coldly chuckled.“Fine! It looks
Jordan Bowie was extremely fierce at this moment. If it were not for the few inspectors stopping him, he would have already stomped his way toward Harvey York.“You need to calm down, Mr. Bowie.Rachel Hardy took a step in front of Harvey.“I already provided the police with evidence.“Ezra Bauer and your son’s death is none of Sir York’s business.“They previously had a fight, but Sir York didn’t kill anyone.“The evidence from the crime scene and the surveillance footage provided can prove that.“Please don’t be unreasonable…”After hearing Rachel’s words, Lilian Yates screamed furiously while covering her face.“You little b*stard! Why do I have to suffer for your damn crimes?!”Lilian wanted to slap Harvey in the face so badly, but she was stopped by Mandy Zimmer.Jordan could not be bothered to listen to Rachel’s explanation at that time.“Rachel, right? Why don’t you shut the f*ck up?!” said Jordan with a gloomy look.“You think you have the right to speak here?!“Y
After hearing Jordan Bowie’s words, the fighters beside him nodded in unison.Just like what Jordan said, the Bowie family had been dominating Flutwell because of the Bauer family’s support.Even the people rarely went against Dylan Bowie.Other than an ignorant outsider like Harvey York, who would be stupid enough to lay their hands on Dylan?They would have been crazy if they did!After seeing Jordan’s crazed expression, Rachel Hardy froze before she exclaimed, “Not only are you being extremely unreasonable, you’re also planning to go against Sir York?”“That’s right!” replied Jordan with a cold smirk on his face.“You have the Hatchet Gang, Longmen’s Law Enforcement, and the Hearthstone Corporation, but so what?“Do you think our family’s weak or something?!”“That’s none of my business, but if you keep slandering Sir York and act arrogantly, I’ll have to stop you!”Mandy felt a little surprised after hearing Rachel’s words.‘When did he turn out like this?‘Yvonne Xavie
“Enough talk.Jordan Bowie pointed at Harvey York.“I’ll avenge my son, Harvey!“You can run, but you can’t run forever!”Harvey frowned. He could tell that Jordan was prepared to do anything.He wanted to send Jordan flying with a slap, but he held himself back since he was in the police station.“Well, you can try.Harvey seemed indifferent.“I’m only telling you this once. I won’t go against you for your son’s passing.“But if you keep messing around, I’ll have the entire Bowie family erased from Flutwell’s history!”Bam!As soon as Harvey stepped forward, countless cracks formed from the bottom of his feet.The floor paved with bluestone split open before the tiles turned to dust.“Wha…”Everyone was shocked.Jordan’s body trembled before dodging a shard flying straight at him.His face was still cut by it since he was a bit slow.Jordan’s expression instantly changed.There were a lot of expert martial artists in Flutwell, but Jordan had never seen anyone who cou
Jordan Bowie was confused.Since he was quite a brutal person, he pulled out an elegant-looking firearm from under the seat and kicked down the car door before taking his bodyguards and secretary with him.A crack was showing at the manor’s front gate. The smell of blood wafted from the inside.Jordan frowned before his expression changed.“Something’s wrong!“Take off the safeties of your firearms!“Go!”He kicked the door down before going inside. Weapons were scattered all over the ground with blood mixed splattered all over them.The door of the main hall was closed shut. Nobody could tell what was going on inside.Jordan was terribly anxious. He had a bad feeling about the situation.He furiously made a gesture before his people pointed their firearms straight at the main hall.“Who’s hiding around here?! Show yourself!“You’re late, Chief Bowie…”A calm voice echoed from the hall.Jordan let out a sigh of relief after hearing the voice.“Why are you in our manor, Y
On the next day, early in the morning. Harvey York was woken up by the ringing of his phone.When he picked up the phone, Rachel Hardy’s frantic voice could be heard from the other side.“This is bad, Sir York. The entire Bowie family was killed last night…”When Harvey showed up on the scene, people had already flooded the entire place.Other than the Bowie family’s relatives, many inspectors and disciples of Longmen’s Law Enforcement were also there.The entire city was in complete shock after such a big thing happened.It’s said that the upper social circle was enraged by the news. They accumulated millions of dollars as a reward for whoever could find the murderer.Rachel was standing amongst the crowd. It was not long since she came to Flutwell, but she had already started to blend in with the city’s upper social circle.She stood behind the crowd to avoid contact with anyone else and waited for Harvey’s arrival.Rachel walked forward as soon as she saw Harvey.“Sorry to
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
