Westin clenched his fist tightly; he wanted to lash out, but he had no idea what he was supposed to say.He took a deep breath to calm himself down. After all, an elite like him shouldn’t be provoked by a country bumpkin like Harvey.“Mr. Miller, right?”“While everyone’s here, I should warn you.”“It doesn’t matter if Xynthia’s single or taken.”“You won’t get her if you keep coercing her like this.”“You better stay away from her from now on. If not, don’t blame me for what happens next!”Harvey took a step forward before glaring coldly at the two siblings.After hearing Harvey’s harsh tone and seeing the frosty look on his face…Westin immediately trembled; he couldn’t help but feel fear.However, he came to his senses soon after.He was the son of the chairman of a billion-dollar company! Why would he be scared of an ordinary-looking country bumpkin?“What right do you have to decide for Xynthia, you b*stard?!”Harley was completely infuriated.“I got someone to look
Westin decided to completely go against Harvey.“I won’t force you to pull out your present right now! I’ll give you two hours to buy anything you want in the mall.”“We’ll wait right here until you come back!”Harley revealed a prideful smile after hearing her brother’s confident words.“Yeah! You dare to bet?!”“Or are you saying two hours isn’t enough?”“Beg for more time, then! If you do, we’ll gladly give you two months for it!”“You’ll have time to even sell your kidneys if you want to!”“That said, I don’t think your kidneys would be worth that much anyway.”Harley had a mocking expression.After all, 1.5 million dollars wasn’t an obtainable amount for ordinary people, even if they worked their entire lives.“I don’t need two hours for that. I have a gift for Xynthia right here.”Harvey flashed them a faint smile before pulling out the gift box Dariel gave him prior to this.He had already taken a peek at what was inside.It was a diamond necklace.He didn’t look
Even those who had no knowledge about jewelry could tell that not only was the diamond extremely beautiful, but it was as clear as day too.‘This is so pretty! What a luxurious-looking necklace!’‘I’ve never seen such a bright diamond in my entire life!’Everyone had forgotten how to react at this point.Westin froze as soon as he looked at the sight in front of him.He was an experienced man; as such, he was extremely well-versed with diamonds.He could instantly tell that the necklace was quite valuable.Harvey smiled as he put the necklace on Xynthia.Her elegant neckline perfectly fitted the exquisite diamond; it was as if the two were meant to be together.Xynthia was filled with happiness, and twirled in place. Her entire aura became a lot more pure and refined.With a face on par with Mandy, she looked just like a princess.Countless women were filled with jealousy and hatred as they looked at her.‘Xynthia’s too beautiful!’‘That diamond’s so extravagant-looking!’
The most awkward of them all were clearly Westin and his sister.They were filled with utter fear and anger, as if they were slapped in the face by the crowd; they wanted to say something, but they couldn’t even utter a single word.Westin was the son of Deepsky Corporation’s chairman. He believed that he was being romantic to prepare such a big show for the woman he loved…Yet, what happened?Not only did he fail to trample on Harvey, he got utterly humiliated as soon as the Heart of Sky was revealed.“Hmph! You think that’s a lot of money?!”Harley, however, refused to admit defeat; she gritted her teeth and glared furiously at Harvey.“That’s nothing for my brother!”“His pocket money’s worth more than that!”“That amount must be worth your entire life savings though, right?”“Maybe you stole the necklace!”“Do you have anything else worth showing?”Harley spoke up as if she regained her courage.At this moment, a waiter quickly walked in and said, “Whoever’s car that i
Harvey was completely speechless.“You need to believe me, Xynthia. I got both the car and the necklace accidentally.”“Someone gave these to me as an apology.”“You don’t have to explain, Harvey. I won’t get angry just because you got these for my sister.”“It’s about to be you guys’ anniversary, after all.”“It’s only natural to get her a big gift before getting remarried!”Xynthia felt her head aching for no reason.She took off the necklace before she unwillingly put it back inside the box and set it on the armrest.Harvey froze.“What are you doing?”“What do you mean, what am I doing?”Xynthia scoffed.“Give this back to my sister! I’ll borrow my brother-in-law every once in a while, but I can’t just take my sister’s stuff!”“I love this a lot, but I can’t hurt my sister like this…”Xynthia hesitated.She wished Harvey actually bought the necklace for her…But she knew that she wasn’t the main character—she was just a girl hiding in someone else’s shadows.Harvey
The woman looked around her before crying in a teary voice, “Can someone please help me?!”“My grandfather’s stuck inside!”The elderly person had a horrible look on his face. The steel frame of the Mercedes started to creak as well.Everyone could tell that the person would be squashed inside as soon as the steel frame snapped.Not even 911 would be able to help.The people around stopped taking pictures after hearing the woman’s cries; they felt extremely guilty about it.A few wanted to help, but they started to hesitate before deciding to stay.Everyone could tell that the person was either rich or powerful; it’d be good if they could save him…But if they couldn’t, it’d be bad once they get themselves dragged into the situation.Creak!A horrible shriek came from the steel frame. It looked like it was about to give in at any moment.The elderly person inside grunted in pain, blood seeping out of his mouth.The woman started to panic as soon as they saw the sight.She
“I won’t be able to live with myself if I don’t save him now.”Harvey York showed a gentle smile.Xynthia Zimmer froze before heaving a huge sigh.After all, her favorite brother-in-law was that kind of person.Without a second thought, she let go of his hand.Harvey stepped out from the crowd.“Are you here to save my grandfather, kind sir?”The woman saw Harvey’s scrawny physique and thought he could not save anyone…But she was terribly desperate. She did not have another choice.“If you can get my grandfather out, I’ll give you a hundred and fifty thousand dollars right now!Harvey quickly strode to the car.The smell of fuel completely filled the entire place. The car had been completely crushed as well.Half of the man’s body was wedged under the car. He completely passed out because of all the pain. It was as if his insides were being squished at this very moment.Harvey quickly held the car’s steel frame in place as he pulled the man’s clothes, trying to drag him o
Harvey York did not want to get involved any longer, but he could not bear the sight of the old man suffering.After pondering about it for a while, he said to the woman, “There’s something terrible in your grandfather.“You only got into this accident because of this.“I suggest that you go…“Something bad?The woman was completely enraged.“You were trying to kill my grandfather just for some money!“How dare you say something like that just to get yourself out of the situation?!“I’ll beat the crap out of you if you keep spouting nonsense like this!”The woman became angrier by the moment before she swung her palm forward.Tap!The slap did not land on Harvey’s face.Xynthia Zimmer instantly raised her hand to block the attack.“My brother-in-law’s just being nice, lady!“He was the only one to stand up and help! It’s already bad enough that you’re not grateful, but you’re even trying to hit him?!“You can call the cops if you really think his actions caused your gran
"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."
