To Clara, naturally…Harvey was just a small fry. She was infuriated that someone like that dared to question her authority.Feeling that her pride was being challenged; she unsheathed her sword covered in jewelry before pointing it at Harvey’s throat.“Grovel and surrender!” she coldly exclaimed.“I’ll kill you if you don’t!”“Idiots…”Harvey scoffed. Just then, the sound of an engine roaring could be heard from outside again.Clara was about to lash out, but she and the people behind her stopped; their eyes twitched slightly upon seeing the license plate of the Bentley behind them.The exquisite license plate came from Wolsing, a clear sign to everyone that the people inside were extraordinary people.Sienna, who was clad in a dress, stepped out of the car with an icy expression.A few men in black were following beside her.These men were a lot different than the bodyguards she had before. They all raised their heads up high, their expressions similarly icy.A badge with
“You think you can just come and go as you please, you b*stards?!”Cory was infuriated when he saw Harvey about to leave. He thought Carla was spooked. “We’re not done here! We…!”An expert from the Dragon Guard stepped out after a long silence. He casually picked up a sword on the ground and flicked it with his finger.Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!Dozens of shards flew right into the Indians’ throats in an instant.“Ngh!”Screams of pain could be heard—Cory and the others covered their throats as they lay on the ground, their faces the picture of horror. Disbelief and rage could be seen in their eyes.They didn’t think that the expert could kill them so easily. They had no other choice but to glare at the expert, helpless.Sienna opened the car door for Harvey, as if she didn’t see anything happen at all.“Come, Sir York. You’re disrespecting me if you don’t have this meal with me.”Harvey sighed and made a gesture to Rachel before getting in Sienna’s car.As the Bentley le
“Flutwell’s new district is the first big deal for Young Master Bauer’s alliance.”“It’s said that the district has both the Holy Mountain and the Holy Lake surrounding it. Not only is the scenery extraordinary, but the location of it is quite strategic as well!”“A geomancer master said that those who live here would definitely be extremely talented!”“Young Master Bauer is creating a whole new district for the nobility; perhaps even the first hot real estate in Country H’s northwest region!”“Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine houses will be sold! That is all that remains for the district’s property!”“Since the houses are not for investment, Young Master Bauer will sell the property of the second phase at a low price tomorrow morning.”“The original price was twenty-one thousand dollars per ten square feet, but now, it’s been reduced to fourteen thousand dollars!”The journalist on the screen appeared terribly excited. Clearly, he had been bought off by Joseph. He wou
Lilian revealed a stupidly proud look.“So you do know just how inferior you are compared to Young Master Bauer!”“His strength knows no bounds!”“You’re right about that—if he sells all that property, he’ll have at least billions in his bank account!”“No need to get jealous; according to my information, Young Master Bauer’s agent already made the announcement!”“Because of popular demand, everyone will need to have their capital verified and draw lots before they can even buy anything!”“People without at least 1.5 million dollars can’t even get past the reception hall!”“Even so, it’s said that at least ten people are hogging over one house on average!”“Every single hotel in Flutwell is full!”“Everyone’s waiting to get their houses! They can’t wait to live in the new district!”“What? Are you planning to buy one as well?”“Look at you! Can you even buy one?”“Even if you can, do you really think that you’re worthy enough to live in it?”Lilian’s face was filled with d
Bright lights and jewelry filled the entire hall, and there was a bright red carpet on the floor. It was an extravagant sight.On both sides of the hall, bunny girls could be seen walking around to excite the guests. A luxury car showed up, and several people in traditional clothing entered the hall. The members of Flutwell’s business alliance came in soon after.They were all extremely prominent figures of Flutwell’s businesses; they were considered Joseph’s most trusted team.Without them, Joseph wouldn’t be where he was.The crowd got riled up when they saw these people enter the hall.Those who came here from all over the northwest were filled with excitement as they waited for their turn to buy the houses.Everyone felt that the houses here were just too cheap for their value!As the members of the business took a picture, a beautiful host from Flutwell TV walked over and stood on the platform with a warm smile.“It’s an important day, folks!”“Let’s bring our biggest
Joseph kept his thoughts private and instead showed off his heroic and virtuous facade. Since there was no way for him to get more benefits out of the sales, he decided to sell everything out as soon as he could instead.Without hesitating, Joseph waved his hand and smiled at everyone.“Everyone! Believe me when I say that the price of the land will surely increase after ten years. It wouldn’t be possible if it was a hundred and fifty thousand dollars per ten square feet, judging from the beautiful scenery!”“It’ll be too late to buy the houses anymore when that happens!”“In the near future, this place will become the top silk-stocking district of Country H’s northwest region!”“This place is a symbol of your status and identity!”“Trust me! You will become a true elite as soon as you buy property here!”Joseph waved his hand harder; the crowd grew even more excited.“I want one!”“I want ten!”“I have money to spare, anyway!”The people in front of the crowd all belonged
Harvey smiled. He clapped his hands, and Rachel brought out an exquisite handbag.Pulled the zipper of the bag, she swung her hand and shook the bag, scattering real estate certificates all over the place.“I’m the only owner of the property of the new district’s first phase.”“I came here today to return every single one of them!”The crowd was bewildered..Each one of the real estate certificates was worth 1.5 million dollars, judging from the current market price.A hundred of them would be a hundred and fifty million dollars…The crowd couldn’t say a single word.Before, Joseph sold and gave away all the property from the first phase to young masters and princes of Wolsing.Last night, Harvey made the call to buy every single one of the properties for double the price. With Sienna’s help, the young masters and princes were quite cooperative. They finished the entire procedure in just mere minutes.Thus, every single property of the first phase fell under Harvey’s name.T
Harvey looked at Joseph with a small smile.“Since your tongue is so sharp, why don’t you tell me the reason you coerced the Indians to attack my wife?”“If you spit everything out, I’ll apologize to you right now and buy a few more houses from you.”“But if you can’t, you’re just a coward!”“Your promises of your property skyrocketing in price are just utter bullsh*t!”“If the prices can really skyrocket, I’ll definitely return the houses!”The crowd fell into an uproar after hearing Harvey’s words. Everyone could sense the conflict between the two prominent figures.The buyers’ excitement was immediately gone because of Harvey.Joseph’s expression worsened slightly.He wanted to use the buyers to deal with Harvey, but he never expected that his unspeakable acts would be revealed this way.At this point, Joseph had no other choice.“What are you talking about? I don’t understand what you mean.”“You can’t just spout nonsense and expect that to ruin the event!”“So, you’re
"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."
