A few princes and young masters were going against Harvey York after seeing the infighting. The Indians were all showing mischievous looks on their faces.Harvey causing trouble outside was probably not a big deal.It could be considered trivial even.But because of the listed regulations, it would be extremely troublesome if anyone were to raise the question.And since everything had escalated to this point…It would be best for the Indians if Harvey were removed from the fight with just a few words.Out of the entire crowd, only Zoe Garcia remained silent.She only frowned when she looked at Harvey, as if she wanted to see how he would break out of the situation.After all, Harvey would not get a chance to fight in the ring if he did not.Harvey glanced at Clyde Osborne and the others before finally shifting his gaze toward Axel Garcia.“You’re pretty informative, I see,” spoke Harvey with a faint smile.“You already know pretty much everything when I just went to do all t
Elliot John looked around the place before finally forcing out a smile worse than a crying face.“You must be joking.“Why would the Golden Palace even have a conflict with you?“These are just false rumors! Please don’t misunderstand us, Harvey York!“Also, don’t get us wrong, everyone!”“Oh? Is that so?Harvey showed a calm look on his face.“Since the young master of the John family said so…“I think there should be no concerns, right?“Or rather, do you people have something to prove otherwise?“Even Young Master John himself doesn’t have anything to say about me fighting against the Golden Palace. What are you going to use to prove him wrong?“Your own life?”Harvey’s playful words were filled with double meanings. Not just Elliot, Clyde Osborne and Harold Bauer were also showing horrible looks.Axel Garcia’s prideful smile instantly dissipated after hearing those words.After glaring at Harvey for a long while, he forced out a chuckle before saying, “Since Young Mas
“Since you’re both expert martial artists, it’ll be too much of a waste for you to fight without a purpose.“That was why we decided to let you choose between twelve traditional weapons.“The rules are simple. You’re only allowed to fight using your chosen weapons. You are not allowed to fight barehanded.“You’ll also lose the right to fight if you lose your weapon.“Understand?”Then, the host waved his hand before a group of workers brought over a few weapon racks.Every single form of cold steel could be seen on the racks at that moment.Harvey York frowned before he calmly replied, “Got it.”Zoe Garcia also nodded lightly.“What the f*ck? What is the meaning of this?”“They’re only allowed to use weapons to fight?”“Did they do this intentionally to restrict Harvey after previously seeing the power of his slaps?”“They’re not actually this shameless now, are they?”“But the representatives are allowed to change the rules however they please! Nobody can do anything abou
Sienna Wright looked back at Rhea Osborne.She could not believe that Rhea had nothing to do with the situation.Simply put, Rhea was the one who was restricting Harvey while forcing him to run out of weapons to use.Typically speaking, Harvey’s strength would be slightly held back because of this…But he was not even mad about it at all. All he did was smile at Rhea.“Thank you for your concern, but it doesn’t really matter whether I have a weapon or not.”“Heh heh! Then, I hope you can keep this up! If you lose, you’ll have to take the responsibility yourself!” exclaimed Rhea coldly.Harvey shrugged before casually picking up a longsword and dragging it across the ground as he walked toward the middle of the ring.Axel Garcia coldly chuckled after seeing the sight.“You can’t use your hands anymore! You also broke the weapon that you use the most!“You probably can’t use all your strength to fight anymore, can you?“I suggest you stay out of this fight. Get down from the r
Harvey York merely smiled at Clyde Osborne after hearing his words.“I didn’t expect Prince Osborne would understand me the best.“He’s right. I did that because I’m confident I’ll win!“Rather, I already won!”Before Clyde could even say anything, the Indians were already laughing their stomachs off.Axel Garcia could not help but show a derisive expression on his face.“How can you be so cocky, Harvey?“You threw your weapon away, yet you’re telling us you can win?“Are you overestimating us? Or are you looking down on us Indians?“Let me tell you something! Not just Zoe Garcia, one of the top three talents from India…“Any top talent with a sword can take you down!”Axel believed that Harvey was only good at fighting barehanded and did not know how to wield any weapons.With the representatives’ arrangement, Harvey was sure to lose.The wealthy ladies were crossing their arms while disdainfully glaring at Harvey.They thought that Harvey was just a show-off.But befor
“I know how strong he actually is!”“Not just the sword; even if I have a firearm and he’s just standing there, I’m still no match against him!”“I’d be more embarrassed if I lost that way! My pride and dignity will be crushed instantly!”“That’s why I’ve decided to forfeit right now!”“My skills are completely inferior! I’m totally fine with losing against Sir York!”Zoe then turned around and bowed in front of Axel and the other Indians.“I’m sorry I disappointed you, everyone.”“You b*tch! You damn b*tch!”Axel finally came to his senses.He was jumping around furiously; anger had completely taken over his entire being.“You’re forfeiting before you even try!”“Harvey can’t even throw a punch at you! Just squash him like a damn bug already!”“Zoe!”“Who gave you the courage to admit defeat like this?”“Who gave you the right?!”“You better win this fight, Zoe!”“This is war! War, I tell you!”“If you take it easy on Harvey, I’ll make sure you die for it!”“Your ent
“Kill that b*tch! Kill that traitorous b*tch!”“You call that a Maiden? She’s just a coward!”“We’ll beat up that traitorous b*tch!”The Indians were all showing righteous fury, and every single one of them tried to pounce Zoe.But a large group of security guards swarmed in, stopping the Indians from making any move.The fierce Indians had no choice but to stop moving, stunned to see the firearms in the security guards’ hands.Longmen was in charge of the security, after all.They didn’t have an excuse before, but now, they did.If the Indians were to do anything reckless, it would be natural for security to take them all out at once.“The Maiden has already admitted defeat and left the ring.”“What are you still waiting for? Announce it already.”Harvey had a small smile as he looked at the host. Meanwhile, the representatives were completely stunned.“The rules state that leaving the ring or admitting defeat would count as a loss.”“Of course, if you’re planning to chan
“If we’re going to give them another chance because of this, we can also assume that all the provincial champions from our side lost because they were bought off.”“We’d be able to get more people to join if that’s the case, right?’“But what’s the point? We won’t be able to finish the damn fight even after three whole years!”“Zoe is the Maiden of India too!”“Since she thinks she’s inferior compared to Harvey and admitted defeat, then that should’ve been it.”“That’s her choice!”“We can’t just rob her of that!”“Besides, if we’re really going to investigate anything, shouldn’t we start with the young talents’ poisoning first?”“If there’s not even an order to this, how do you suppose we can remain impartial?”Sienna’s words weren’t that powerful, but they dealt a huge blow.Not only did she suppress the Indians, but she also made it so that the representatives wouldn’t dare cross the line, even if they were already biased.Just like Sienna said, the young talents’ poisoni
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
