At that moment, a dozen Longmen disciples were following Bowen Lee. It was a truly dominant and spectacular sight.Ai Kamino instinctively stood up as soon as he saw Bowen.He respectfully nodded before smiling coldly at Harvey York.“Speak of the devil.“You’re finished, kid.“Looks like Branch Leader Lee’s in a bad mood…“I don’t think I can help you at this point.“You’re on your own.”After hearing Ai’s words and Bowen’s gloomy expression, Senior Miller and the beautiful women were all looking at Harvey gleefully.‘All this guy does is show off!’‘Who knew that karma would bite back this quick?!’‘Not only is he going against Mr. Kamino, even Branch Leader Lee is here to trample all over him!’Under Ai’s exhilarated gaze, Bowen walked briskly toward Harvey before slamming his knees on the ground.The people behind him kneeled in unison with horrified expressions on their faces.Ai froze before instinctively gasping.“What are you doing, Branch Leader Lee?”Bowen com
Harvey York walked up and patted Ai Kamino’s face before he sighed.“Even Joseph Bauer couldn’t protect Mrs. Lee…“Even Longmen couldn’t keep Bowen Lee safe.“Then, what makes you think Clyde Osborne can enable you to flaunt your strength here?“I didn’t want to deal with you anymore, but I’ll indulge you if you insist on butting in.”Harvey then slowly tore the business card to pieces.The beautiful women were heartbroken, as if Harvey had committed a heinous crime.Ai’s expression also frantically changed.“How dare you tear Prince Osborne’s card, you b*stard?!“You have a death wish or something?!”Slap!Harvey swung the back of his palm across Ai’s face.“I’m not so sure about that…“But I know that you’re looking for yours right now.“Come.“Call the cops.Harvey’s word was enough to seal Ai’s face.“Ai Kamino tried to blackmail me for a hundred and fifty million dollars! Punish him according to the law!”***In just half an hour, Vivian Hall and her team took A
Ai Kamino immediately trotted toward Clyde Osborne before respectfully bowing.“Prince Osborne.”Clyde rinsed his mouth with the seventy-six thousand dollar Red Robe Tea before he said, “Do you think this is a scenic spot, Ai?”Those calm words were enough to astound Ai.He came here on the same morning, but then he showed up once again.This could only mean that Ai did not deal with the arrogant young man he had previously talked about.Not only that, but he also probably lost his reputation in the process.If not, he would not have shown up that quickly.Cold sweat was dripping down Ai’s entire body.“I’m sorry, Prince Osborne. I have tarnished your name. I couldn’t carry out my job properly,” he apologized quietly with his arms on the side.“I wanted to reclaim your reputation for what happened before. That was why I asked for your business card.“But that man tore the card apart and even sent all of us to jail.Ai would not dare lie to Clyde about a single thing.“Righ
After hearing Ai Kamino’s words, Clyde Osborne comfortably leaned on his seat while enjoying the service of two beautiful handmaidens.“It’s already pretty impressive having the Torres family backing him for this long.“You may not know this, but the Wright family also has connections with the Torres family.“Even the Bauer family might not go up against them!“With the Torres family’s support, he does have the right to flaunt his strength in Flutwell!”“The Wright family?Ai’s facial expression changed slightly.“The Big Boss’s family?”Clyde merely showed a faint smile.“Flutwell might only seem like the borderland of the southwest region, but its waters are deeper than anyone can imagine.“Harvey has been popping up everywhere, challenging everyone in his wake. I even received reports that he went against the Indians recently.“I’m guessing he might be one of the Torres family’s pawns!”Ai could not look away when he showed envy toward Clyde being served by two goddesses
“Oh? How beautiful are we talking about here?”Clyde Osborne seemed to perk up after hearing Ai Kamino’s words.Ai already prepared a few pictures on his phone this morning to send to Clyde.Clyde looked at his phone for a moment before he burst out laughing.“One’s a mature housewife, and the other’s an innocent school beauty. Interesting. These two are really intriguing…“Since it’s rare to get sisters like them, I’ll have to take action myself.Clyde then waved at the secretary not far from him.“Call Commissioner Thompson.”***While Clyde was making a phone call, Harvey York did not even care about the incident anymore.After taking care of Xynthia Zimmer, he called a cab to the center of Flutwell while curiously looking through the contracts.He came to an antique Budokan. It was as silent as the grave.The Budokan has more than a decade’s history. Bowen Lee inherited the place from his father. The name of the place was called the Martial Hall.The name was very clas
“There are about a hundred students here in the Martial Hall.“Teachers used not to have time for the students…“That was why we hired ten instructors to teach them.“Every instructor is an expert martial artist from a well-known family.“They are in charge of ten students each. They also do a pretty good job.“There’s no need for you to manage the Martial Hall after you take over.“With these instructors here, all you need to do is collect the money.Dillon Lee showed a pleasing look on his face.“You might not know since you haven’t seen the ledger, Sir York.“It wouldn’t be hard for the Martial Hall to earn fifteen million dollars annually.”Harvey was surprised.“You can get this much money just by teaching?”Dillon showed a proud expression.“Well, of course. The branch leader of Longmen’s Flutwell branch is teaching here. Training in this place is the same as being Longmen’s outer disciple. Anyone will look good when they enroll here.“Many wealthy heirs were willin
“Everyone! Let me have a few minutes of your time!Dillon Lee stepped forward and clapped his hands.“Please, quiet down.The instructors completely ignored Dillon and continued indulging the wealthy heirs.Some were even talking about tutoring the wealthy heirs in their homes, while others promised to be their bodyguards.The sight was just embarrassing.Dillon let out a cough.“Please, quiet down. Let me introduce all of you to someone…”“What’s the point?!”The only person not pampering the wealthy heirs was a woman with an angular face, completely surrounded by more people sitting in the middle.She had an extremely slender figure with a face as beautiful as a painting, but a bossy expression was clearly showing, making it hard for people to approach her.She glared at Dillon coldly and exclaimed, “Don’t you see that everyone’s trying to get closer to the students here?!“Why are you interrupting them?!“Didn’t I tell you that you have no say here?!“Or are you saying
Harvey York showed a profound look when he glanced at Dillon Lee.“Are you actually this inferior in the Martial Hall?”Dillon felt extremely awkward. He did not know how to reply at that moment.“Enough yapping!Layne Naiswell stared at the clock on the wall with an annoyed look.“Clean up the arena already! Remember to wipe down the equipment as well!“Class is about to start!“Are you doing it or not?! Get out of here if you’re not!”The other instructors were showing playful looks. Obviously, they would be more than willing to trample on Dillon.After all, even though they were from so-called sacred martial art training grounds, they were only outer disciples.They had no place in front of the wealthy heirs.That was why they wanted to step on someone like Dillon to show off their status.“You’re crossing the line!”Dillon could not hold back his feelings any longer. With his support standing beside him, he was planning to lash out…But at the crucial moment, Harvey w
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
