The monk pressed on without saying a single word.A bodyguard pounced right at him with every single step he took.When he was around thirty feet away from Wes Pagan, half of the family’s bodyguards were already killed off.“Kill them, Skullface! Leave none alive!”Phantom saw the monk before smiling coldly.Harvey York squinted at the monk. He was surprised the man before him to be the legendary head of the Skeleton Gang.‘The gang has a relationship this deep with Faceless, huh?‘The gang leader would step up just to kill Wes…‘Looks like they’re working for Evermore after all.’“What capable people you have with you!“I devised so many plans just to deal with you, but it looks like I have to resort to brute force!“I guess there’s no point in holding back my strength.The killing around her did not even faze Phantom as she slowly strode toward Wes with two of her subordinates.“Mr. Faceless knows you well.“He said there’s only one way to go against you.“I couldn’t e
‘No exceptions?!’Lachlan Bree’s face was filled with nothing but pride and arrogance.It was as if he was the world’s champion.Harvey York sized up Lachlan before saying another word of caution.“Phantom and Skullface are tough to deal with, Lachlan…”“Tough to deal with?”Lachlan and his juniors scoffed after hearing Harvey’s warning.The juniors were crossing their arms while glaring derisively at Harvey.“Are you dumb? Or are you just ignorant?”“You talk like our senior’s an easy target!”“Let me tell you something! He’s taken more lives than you can ever imagine!”“If he weren’t worried about Mr. Pagan and Arlet’s safety, he would’ve taken down those people in a single slap by now!”Lachlan felt incredibly proud after hearing his juniors’ words.“You’re exaggerating. These people are pretty capable. I probably won’t be able to do that…“Maybe two slaps at least.”Naturally, Lachlan’s words were as arrogant as could be at this point.Harvey showed a bitter express
“Come on!“All of you!“Useless filth!“Come at me!“I’ll take on all of you!”Lachlan Bree let out a righteous cry as he waved his arms around.The sound alone made it seem like Lachlan was an unrivaled expert.“Don’t be scared, Harvey! My senior’s pretty impressive!“He previously took down ten experts all by himself!Arlet Pagan admired her senior quite a bit.“I asked him to be here because he’s strong!“These people are no match against him!“He’ll deal with them soon enough…”The juniors were holding their heads up high after hearing Arlet’s words, as if they were expecting Lachlan’s triumphant victory.Someone even started to record Lachlan, preparing to show him off on social media.Wes Pagan squinted at the sight before him, speechless.Harvey York heaved a sigh. There was nothing else he could say at that point.Clang clang clang!Loud sounds were echoing everywhere.The monk covered in gold took a step toward Lachlan.“You’ve got power, but it’s a shame I
Lachlan Bree and the others were completely shocked. They did not expect that Harvey was actually this capable.That said, his pride would not allow him to show his gratitude or apologize.“How did you get hurt like this?Arlet Pagan bandaged Lachlan’s wounds before she brought up the subject.“Did you get hoodwinked?”“It’s him! It’s all because of him!Lachlan’s emotions were volatile when he furiously screamed at Harvey.“He made me doubt myself right as I was about to fight!“That was why I couldn’t fight properly!“I barely lost to Skullface because of that!“This b*stard did this to me!“I’m not done settling scores with you yet!”Harvey was utterly speechless.He had seen quite a number of shameless people, but it was his first time seeing someone like this in his entire life.Not only did he not thank Harvey for saving his life, but he was also trying to put all the blame on him…He even mentioned that he barely lost against Skullface after suffering countless in
Skullface and Phantom moved forward while Arlet Pagan showed a horrible gaze.Skullface was covered in gold paint when he showed a wretched and fierce smile.The murderous intent he exuded felt as if it was real, suppressing everyone around him.Arlet and her seniors looked at each other while gritting their teeth.“We’ll go together! We’ll get revenge for Lachlan!”Harvey York did not even have time to stop the two seniors rushing forward with swords in their hands.“You can’t fight them! Come back!” Harvey instinctively exclaimed.Even before Harvey’s words traveled far enough for the seniors to process, Skullface showed a cold smile before throwing two punches a few times faster than the seniors.The two changed expressions instantly, thinking that they were done for.They prepared to step back during the process…They were pretty swift but still a little too slow.The golden fists landed on the two immediately after.The so-called experts coughed out blood before they w
Naturally, Lachlan Bree believed Harvey York completely wasted the few seconds he traded with his life.He was filled with nothing but resentment!Harvey reached out to tap Lachlan’s shoulder.“Not bad. At least you have enough backbone not to beg for mercy.“I didn’t want to do anything at first, but for the sake of your courage, I’ll also protect you.”Harvey calmly took a step forward.“Are you kidding me?“Do you want to die?!“Even I’m no match against Skullface! You’re no better!“You’ll die if you go!”Lachlan was boiling with anger after hearing Harvey’s words.He had never seen someone who would trade their lives just to show off!‘Doesn’t he know that Skullface can just kill him off with a single slap?!’Arlet Pagan was worried when she looked at Harvey, thinking he had gone crazy after everything that had happened.The entire Pagan family was filled with rage and anxiety. They had no idea what to even say at that moment.Only Wes Pagan showed a profound look o
“I’ll let you make the first move,” said Harvey York under everyone’s disdainful glares.“You won’t get another chance after this.”Skullface froze before showing a playful expression.“You want me to make the first move?“You’re even cockier than the last guy!“Come! Come! If you can even touch me, I’ll sever my own head for you!”“Fine. You said so,” replied Harvey.He took a step forward.His movements seemed slow but so fast that nobody could even perceive them.Skullface promptly reacted. He was about to make his first move…But he felt extremely sluggish before he could even throw out a punch.Harvey was already in front of him. His finger was already on the man’s throat.It was a simple move, but Skullface could feel an unspeakable sense of fear at that very moment, causing him to quiver instinctively.The place was so silent that you could have heard a pin drop!Phantom’s and the others’ smiles instantly froze. None of them could even say a word.Disrespectful!
‘B*stard!’‘How dare he act so arrogantly?!’If Lachlan Bree had been arrogant previously, then Harvey York’s ego must have gone through the roof!Even Arlet Pagan was utterly speechless.Harvey was a capable man, but he was just too cocky.Phantom finally snapped out of her daze.She took a deep breath before enquiring.“Who are you?!”Naturally, Harvey was just too dangerous!“You have no right to know.”Harvey calmly smiled and stepped forward before reappearing right in front of Phantom.Slap!A loud slap echoed throughout the place.Nobody could even clearly see what had just happened.Phantom frantically tried to retreat, but it was futile.She felt a sharp pain on her face before blacking out. Her entire body was sent flying before smashing onto the spiral staircase.Pfft!A mouthful of blood spurted out before Phantom passed out with utter despair written on her face.Everyone froze.‘That’s it?’‘She’s done?’‘With a single slap?!’‘What is this joke?!’
"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."
