“What?!”Cliff and Zarla gasped in shock when they saw Kellan’s chest.‘How is this possible?’Their expressions worsened in an instant.They knew that with Kellan’s attitude, he wouldn’t simply expose such a secret to Harvey!‘Maybe he is pretty capable after all…’Kellan had no intention to settle scores with the couple at all; he was filled with anxiety as he looked at Harvey.“This is it, Sir York! Why doesn’t it feel like anything?”“At first, I thought this was just some STD!”“It’d be better if it was that.”Harvey narrowed his eyes.“You’d be six feet under when they all converge at the same spot.”Kellan was confused.“So I’ve been experiencing all that for the past few days because of this?”“Your luck has been sucked dry because of The Haunt,” Harvey replied.“When it’s all empty, we’ll be having your funeral soon enough.”“Aaah!”Kellan jumped in fear after hearing Harvey’s words.He instinctively tried to wipe The Haunt off his body, but to no avail.Zar
“I really don’t have any medical skills, but I do know how to kill people,” Harvey replied calmly.“Do you want to try that?”“I can end your life with just a single needle.”Kellan trembled, then forced out a smile.“You’re funny, Sir York!”“I’m still waiting for you to save me…”Harvey couldn’t be bothered to spout any more nonsense. He quickly poked a hole in his finger and put a drop of his blood on Kellan’s forehead, heart, and around the red dots on the latter’s chest.Soon after, The Haunt started to dissipate…“It’s gone! It’s really gone!”Kellan’s subordinates could clearly tell that the red dots were slowly fading before vanishing completely.Kellan didn’t know what Harvey was doing at first…However, he could feel his body being unshackled; he felt extremely refreshed.Cliff was completely shocked by the sight.He thought Harvey was just putting up a front, so he never expected that it was him who was being narrow-minded.“This is impressive, Sir York!”“You
Cliff’s eyes twitched slightly.“How did you know all this?”“Huh?”Zarla froze.She knew her husband would never go back to visit his ancestors’ graves, but she didn’t know that it was because of this.“It’s simple. You’re a strong man, but that’s all there is to it. I can’t sense your ancestors’ luck protecting you.”“If it wasn’t for your strong will, you would’ve died quite a few times already.”“Think about this. You’ve gone through a lot of near-death situations ever since your son was born, haven't you?”Cliff was in shock after hearing Harvey’s words.“You really are impressive! No wonder CEO Ruiz looks up to you that much,” Cliff exclaimed.“You’re right. I’ve escaped death quite a few times already! I was heavily injured every single time, but I managed to survive.”“That said, doesn’t this mean that I’m just lucky?”“Those who survive a catastrophe will have good fortune, no?”Harvey smiled faintly in response.“I don’t know about that, but…”“I do know that t
At nine o’clock in the evening, Harvey left the San Francisco Clubhouse after having his meal. Then, he headed back to the Zimmer family’s villa.After working for an entire day, he didn’t want to bump into Lilian and have another big fight with her. Thus, he returned to his room as quietly as possible.But before he could open the door, he heard a gasp coming from Mandy’s room.Surprised, Harvey pushed the door to see what happened inside.Immediately, a refreshing scent wafted over.Mandy must’ve just gotten out of the shower. A towel as white as snow covered only the important parts of her body, revealing a pair of slender legs. Harvey’s eyes twitched at the sight.He had seen quite a lot of beautiful women, and every single one of them was unique in their own way…Yet, Mandy was still the only one who could make his heart skip a beat.He could feel his breath getting hotter at this very moment.He quickly calmed himself down and quickly looked away.“You’re back.”Mandy
Harvey sent her a small smile.“It’s fine. I saved his life, so he’s the one who owes me.”Harvey then changed the subject quickly.“Right, why is there a problem with your branch’s funds now?”“Why didn’t you tell me that in the first place?”Harvey basically understood the situation.The ninth branch had no problems with its funds…However, Mandy’s rise had been quite dissatisfactory for the elders of the Jean family. They had been quietly pulling the strings in the family, and transferred the ninth branch’s funds away.The branch had been suffering quite a bit after that.Mandy tried her best to fix everything, but there was still no way to balance everything out.After she came to the Golden Sands to pick up the Jean family’s mess, the situation became a lot more pressuring than it should’ve been.Mandy had been attending events all over the place; she even gave the bank double the interest, but she still couldn’t manage to cough up three hundred million dollars in time.
Early in the following morning,Harvey got up from a bad sleep and was dragged into the car by Mandy.She started complaining about Harvey as soon as the two got in.They had already talked about Gabriel treating the family to a meal the day before…And yet, Harvey still got up so late.Harvey got more information about the situation after getting inside the car.Gabriel got lucky enough to be in charge of a multi-million-dollar project. Safe to say, his status rose because of this.His sister, Baylor Lee, had been doing extremely well in her work as well. Safe to say, this was a huge blessing to his family.Lilian and Simon wanted to go as well, but they asked Mandy to go in their stead since they had things to attend to.After hearing that Mandy was coming, Gabriel wanted Harvey to join as well, with the excuse that he wanted to give Harvey guidance.Harvey, however, knew full well that Gabriel wasn’t that kind-hearted.But he didn’t care. Since Mandy insisted, he didn’t min
“Of course, this all wouldn’t be possible without everyone sitting here!”“My husband and I are hosting this event specifically to thank you all.”The father had a righteous look on his face as he stood up.“Please eat your fill today, everyone!” he exclaimed after laughing loudly.“Just say the word if you need anything!”“We have as many 1982 Rieslings as you want!”Gabriel stood up pridefully as well.“Father, Mother! Everyone!”“Thank you all for coming for my sake!”“I will not forget this for the rest of my life!”“Here’s a toast!”He casually chugged a glass of alcohol down.“You and Baylor are so talented! Don’t forget about us when you two get stinking rich!”“Right! It’s impressive to have such amazing achievements at such a young age!”“An ordinary person wouldn’t be able to get a project from Evergreen Capital Group, after all!”“The Eclipse Studios is being backed up by the Patel family as well. Baylor’s impressive to get along with them!”“What outstanding
Mandy Zimmer’s expression changed slightly. She was about to speak up before Harvey York stopped her.He came here to see what Gabriel Lee had prepared for him anyway.It would be quite rude to stop him when the show just started.Gabriel’s parents looked over with disdainful glares.‘This is the live-in son-in-law who’s been ruining everything!‘My son would’ve gotten a second wife if it wasn’t for him! The Zimmer family’s assets would’ve been his too!“Oh? Isn’t this the legendary live-in son-in-law of the Zimmer family?“He seems pretty normal to me! Maybe he’s actually dumb or something!”“If that weren’t the case, he wouldn’t have bought some radish just to give it to his in-laws!”“How dare he claim that Gabriel’s gift is fake?!“Who does he think he is?!“Narcissist! Filth!”Obviously, Gabriel had already boasted about the entire situation just to fan the flames even harder.Avery Foster clearly would not bother to clarify the incident since she was on Gabriel’s sid
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
