“I’m no doctor. I don’t come from the sacred martial arts training grounds, either,” Harvey began calmly.“But I do know a bit of the art of killing. I can save people using that. Is there a problem?”“Of course there is!”Gael scoffed coldly.“I’m a martial artist as well! Of course I know about that!”“The problem is, you have to learn everything there is about it!”“Simply put, you need to be a genius with lots of experience to save someone using that art.”“If you think you’re actually capable, then show me what you’ve got!”“If you can’t, then you should stop lying to Miss Cobb. You’re just hindering us from finding a way to treat Elder Cobb!”“We’ll find a way to make Elder Cobb better using both medicine and martial arts soon enough!”Gael shot Harvey a challenging look before pointing at the treatment plans that everyone had put together on the table.“Why don’t we show an idiot like you the South Sea’s flawless treatment plan instead?”Naturally, to show that he wa
“Let me tell you one more thing.”Harvey studied Gael calmly.“Someone must’ve come up with the same plan.”“However, the Cobb family would never allow this to happen.”“That’s right. Someone did come up with this before. My grandfather is a God of War and the best fighter in all of the South Sea. Only idiots would think to cripple his training!” Katy exclaimed coldly.“If so, what’s the point of inviting you people here?”Gael had a horrible look on his face.He was perfectly confident he’d be able to save Dean and win Katy’s heart at the same time, but his plan was no different than a sick joke to her.“Medicine and martial arts have the same origin. You all should understand this fact.”“If you want to succeed in these fields, only modesty can get you far.”Harvey didn’t want to let Gael go. He started going against the people who were planning to run their mouths in front of him.“None of you are modest enough for this. Rather, you’re all cocky people who only know how
After completely disrespecting the people there, Harvey gestured to Katy to lead him into Dean’s room.Gael and a few other so-called expert martial artists were boiling with anger, but they were curious to see if Harvey could actually save Dean.That was why they followed along too.Harvey ignored them completely.Katy knew it was the best time for Harvey to show his strength. So, she didn’t chase the crowd away.After arriving at a room about two thousand square feet wide, Harvey saw Dean lying on a yellow flower pear wood mattress.There was a lot of equipment strapped to his body, indicating his vital signs.Since he was a God of War, he wasn’t able to be injected with any medicine because of his thick skin.Dean had only survived this long because Katy had been painstakingly feeding him water every single day.Harvey felt extremely guilty after seeing Dean turn out this way for his sake.Katy took a step forward and grabbed Harvey’s right hand.“Sir York, you shouldn’t
Ellen asked something nobody dared to question.Even Katy’s beautiful eyes shifted gaze toward Harvey, carrying a hint of doubt.“Don’t worry. There’s no need to lie to you about this. Elder Cobb will come back today.”Katy was so excited that her body started trembling.“That’s good! That’s really good!”“I don’t know how I can repay you for this, Sir York…”Gael and the others frowned upon seeing Katy’s affectionate look toward Harvey.They believed Harvey’s actions were quite impressive before, but that was basically it.So many of them couldn’t even pinpoint Dean’s condition and symptoms…Yet, Harvey claimed he was able to save Dean on the very same day.‘What a joke!’‘This b*stard’s being a little too cocky!’“Don’t be so full of yourself, Harvey!”“You’ll be embarrassing yourself if you can't get Elder Cobb up!”Gael was filled with hatred after his kidney deficiency was exposed. He couldn’t help but speak up through gritted teeth.A few other expert martial artis
Katy lost her composure completely; she wanted to run into Dean’s arms, but she went into Harvey’s arms instead in fear of hurting her grandfather.“Thank you so much, Sir York!”“You’re our family’s savior! I just don’t know how to repay you!”“This is nothing,” Harvey said with a faint smile.“That said, Elder Cobb’s injuries are quite bad. He needs to stay in a quiet place for at least six months so he can recover.”“Don’t worry, Sir York. I can handle the rest,” Katy replied with a tender voice.“No! This is impossible! This is illogical!”Gael finally came to his senses.That said, he was still filled with utter disbelief.He was well-versed in both medical skills and martial arts; he had quite a lot of accomplishments since he was young, and had made a name for himself in the South Sea.Even he couldn’t tell what exactly happened to Dean. He could only come up with a plan along with everyone else here.Judging from his estimation, the plan would require at least anothe
Katy didn’t pick up her phone immediately. She showed Harvey an apologetic smile before going to the side of the street for a few minutes.Harvey could clearly tell she was in distress.When Katy hung up on the phone, she had a faint smile as she walked toward Harvey.“What? Did something happen?” Harvey casually asked.“You’re the head of the South Sea Gang. Nobody would dare go against you here.”Katy flashed him a bitter smile.“You’re kidding me, Sir York. The South Sea Gang might have a bit of authority in Hong Kong and Las Vegas…”“But things are different here in the South Sea.”“Other than my secretary and a few trusted subordinates, I didn’t bring anyone else with me.”“I thought I could just leave after dealing with my grandfather’s condition...”“But things don’t always go as planned.”“Do you need my help?” Harvey asked.“It’s just the family business; it’s not hard to deal with at all. It’s just a little troublesome, is all.”Katy rubbed her temples.“There’s
“Right. Where are we meeting up tonight?” Katy asked.“Eight o’clock at night, at the Marina Bay Clubhouse,” the person on the phone said bossily.“Make sure you get there on time!”Katy had a faint smile.“Don’t worry, I’ll be there in time.”After hanging up the phone, Katy glanced at Harvey.“That’s my middleman, Lara Johnson. She’s a social butterfly of the South Sea.”“She’s quite familiar with both sides of the underworld.”“That was why I asked her to bring me and the debtor together.”“Who’s the debtor?” Harvey asked.“A transportation company at the pier. The CEO is named Vance Toft.”“It’s said he has a background in the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance. That’s why he’s a tough nut to crack.”“The Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance?”Harvey frowned.“The South Sea is different from Country H. There aren’t that many factions for martial artists. Everyone would join the Martial Arts Alliance if they want to train.”“The Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance
Harvey frowned when he saw these people.He had no intention to cause trouble in another country. Despite that, there would always be someone ignorant enough to provoke him.“I didn’t have time to play with you at the airport, but that doesn’t mean that I’ve let you go!”“Do you think you’re allowed to slap me in the face just because you sit in the VIP cabin?!”“Let me tell you something! You’re dead for bumping into me!”The beautiful woman had a bossy look on her face, as if she was the queen of the world.The mean-looking man squinted and yelled coldly, “You’re the one who touched my woman?!”“That bright red palm print is still on her face! I’m completely heartbroken!”“How are you going to take responsibility for this?!”The man lit up his cigar and blew a puff of smoke.What an arrogant sight!The people walking on the streets immediately scurried after seeing what was happening.These people had an intimidating look to them.Harvey looked at them calmly and said, “
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
