“No! I wouldn’t dare!“I was just joking, Sir York!”Logan Bowie trembled uncontrollably with his head lowered down in fear.What a joke!Lecture Harvey York?Right there?He had no right.“You wouldn’t?Harvey lightly patted Logan’s face.“If I remember correctly, you also said something similar last time.“I taught you a lesson before…“But then what happened? You’re still out here taking advantage of people at large.“Looks like you need another lesson!”“I’m sorry, Sir York!“I’ll give you a fair statement right now!”“How?” asked Harvey.Logan’s expression frantically changed before he willingly twisted his left arm.With the sound of a loud crack, his arm immediately snapped.He then showed an indulgent look in front of Harvey while cold sweat dripped down his face.“Not enough,” replied Harvey calmly.“Of course. Of course.”Logan respectfully bowed before he pointed at one of his subordinates.“You! Come here!“Break my other arm!”An inspector hesitantl
“You’re here, Mr. Kamino!“I didn’t want to disturb your rest…“But this b*stard here has been causing big trouble on our turf!Senior Miller showed a helpless look when he complained to Ai Kamino.“He even said you had no right to oppose him even if you were here!“You’re nothing to him!”Naturally, Senior Miller instinctively tried to fan the flames so that Ai would lash out at Harvey York.Slap!Even before he was done talking, Ai had already slapped him to the ground.Blood was trickling from the corners of Senior Miller’s mouth.He shivered for a moment before whispering, “I’m sorry, Mr. Kamino! I didn’t mean to cause all this!“I really didn’t!”Senior Miller did not know why Ai decided to slap him in the face. All he could do was crawl up from the ground and apologize.Slap!Ai sent Senior Miller flying with another slap on the face.Senior Miller gritted his teeth when he crawled up from the ground before he kneeled before Ai.“I’m sorry! I’m really sorry!“I w
“How dare you, you b*stard?!”Senior Miller and the others were showing cold gazes when they saw Harvey York acting this arrogant in front of Ai Kamino. They were on the brink of lashing out at that moment.Ai waved his hand, telling those people to calm themselves down.Then, he ordered someone to bring a chair before he sat in front of Harvey with a lit cigar in his mouth.After taking a few puffs, Ai showed a warm smile.“Since you want your statement, young man…“Why don’t you tell me what you want instead?”Harvey glanced at Ai and replied calmly, “Fifty million dollars as a mental loss fee.“I want to know why there was a bullet in your prop firearm.“I want the people involved to cooperate with the investigation and be dealt with according to the law!“I want Mrs. Lee to apologize to Xynthia Zimmer and break her arms to show her sincerity!“I’ll only let you off the hook once everything’s done.”Harvey calmly took a sip of tea after, as if he did not realize how shoc
“And what if I refuse?”“Refuse?Ai Kamino scoffed.“Do you think you have the right to do that?“Don’t you realize what this place is?“This is Flutwell’s Film City, my turf.“Flutwell’s business alliance, Young Master Bauer, and the Golden Palace stand behind me!“Even if you’re from one of the five hidden families or the top ten families, you should consider before deciding to cross every single one of these people for such a trivial matter!“After all, it’s still easy to deal with the situation since it’s just between you and me.“But if you decide to let the cops ruin the business here…“Even I wouldn’t know what’ll happen next!“Usually, you wouldn’t be able to bear the responsibility alone. If you’re not careful, the people behind you will also have to pay the price!“Sometimes, it’s better to leave each other an out for a better future.“You’re a smart young man. You should understand when to stop, right?’Then, Ai pointed at the check on the ground.“Pick up the
Ai Kamino calmly blew out a puff of smoke before it dispersed right in front of Harvey York soon after.Ai then showed a faint smile.Naturally, he was pretty content with his total control of the situation.Ai believed that Harvey was a slightly capable man, but he would still kneel before him and pick up the check.Harvey was not upset after having smoke blown toward his face.“Mr. Kamino, I’m not happy with your proposal at all,” said Harvey while holding his teacup.“I do hope that you can do what I requested immediately.“Nobody has the right to bargain with me.”“You’re still too young. There’s no need to be this stubborn,” replied Ai with a profound tone, smiling faintly.“You should know that harmony brings wealth.“Respect goes both ways.“If you pay me some respect, I can do the same to you, right?”Harvey merely smiled.“It’s a shame that your respect means absolutely nothing to me.“It won’t give me a fair statement.”“I already told you what I can offer,” re
After pondering the situation for a while, Ai Kamino quickly regained his composure.He was a local powerhouse backed up by the Golden Palace.It did not matter where Harvey York came from. He had no chance to go against Ai in a place like Flutwell.As for the police, Ansel Torres said they would only enforce the law, meaning that the police had remained neutral.Ai believed he could crush Harvey no matter what if that were actually the case.If he could not do it publicly, he would surely have other ways of getting what he wanted.The Capital Gang had three thousand men. It would not be hard for them to deal with an outsider, whether it was a young master or a prince.Without a second thought, Ai took another huff of his cigar to regain his calm.“Find me that b*stard’s address and tell Mrs. Lee that he was the one who loaded the bullet into the prop firearm,” said Ai calmly.“Tell her that he’s the main culprit of Larisa Lee’s situation.“Send word that everyone who support
Dillon Lee was disdainfully glaring at Kayden Balmer, Black Rose, and the others from the Hatchet Gang.He was from Longmen’s Flutwell branch, after all.Longmen was considered the king of the underworld.It was only natural for them to look down on the mob bosses.After getting the order to take down the suspect who hurt his junior, Dillon was surprised that the Hatchet Gang was also involved in the situation. That said, he brought his entire team here without a hint of fear.After all, Flutwell was Longmen’s main base.The daughter of Longmen’s Flutwell branch leader was also severely injured.Under those circumstances, Dillon had no other choice but to take down the suspect.Without a second thought, Dillon pointed at the crowd and coldly exclaimed, “I don’t care what relationship you have with the suspect!“I don’t care who’s supporting you people either!“I’m only here for one thing!“I want the suspect right now!“If he doesn’t comply, we’ll kill him here and carry hi
“Oh? Do you call this slander?“And I won’t get another chance after this?“Mr. Kamino informed us that you like to show off!“He’s not wrong at all! You’re really fooling yourself at this point!” exclaimed Dillon Lee with an odd tone.“Stop pretending already, kid!“Even if you’re the king, I’ll make you pay the price for hurting my junior!“Do it!”Dillon Lee was here with a mission.After getting word from Ai Kamino, Mrs. Lee issued the order to take down Harvey York. Whoever was able to bring him back would be heavily credited.That was why Dillon came as soon as he could after getting the mission.A dozen people in robes pounced forward simultaneously after hearing Dillon’s orders, trying to take Harvey back for his punishment.Slap slap slap!Harvey casually gestured to Kayden and the others to stay back before he casually threw a bunch of slaps forward.The air seemed motionless while he was moving around.In the very next moment, people were sent flying in waves.
"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."
