Harvey York smiled faintly.“I never kneel.“Of course, I would happily accept if you’re going to do that instead.“I’m a natural softie. I usually would go easy on the people who kneel before me.”Harvey finished his alcohol before casually dropping the cup to the ground.It was a complete mess.Harvey glanced at the sight before him, as if he wanted Kade Bolton to kneel there.‘This b*stard’s actually insane!’The beautiful women could not help but pout their lips with utter disdain.It was their first time seeing someone this capable of showing off.“Heh! Are you making yourself some ground to kneel on?“What do you think you’re doing?“You’re just asking for punishment at this point!Kade twirled the bottle in his hand with a faint smile when he calmly stepped forward.Loud cracks could be heard coming from under his leather soles.A menacing expression could clearly be seen on his face.“Harvey, right?“Since you’re being this bold, I’ll give you some respect.“T
The person who had the badge was none other than the live-in son-in-law…Not only was it a shocking discovery, but it also put everyone in disbelief.Harvey York did not seem like he would do anything significant to the family initially.That said, Kade Bolton would not dare lash out any longer.He took a deep breath before showing a stern expression.“Who are you?!”“Why don’t you ask your father that?Harvey seemed indifferent when he wiped his hand with some wet wipes.“Your grandmother got to live longer because of me.“Your father avoided an assassination because of me.“Who do you think I am, then?”Kade’s expression changed instantly.He was a playboy indulging in his debaucher and a usually arrogant and dominant man…But this did not mean he lacked affection toward his family. Rather, he valued his family immensely.He knew exactly what had happened to the family.At this very moment, he froze as his eyes were frantically twitching.“You’re Master York?!”Kade’
Kade Bolton was making a twisted expression.He was enraged. He was filled with disbelief.He was arrogant but understood that his father was an extremely prominent figure in Golden Sands.Since Harvey York spoke in such a dignified tone when he talked to Azrael Bolton that way, it was enough to prove just how powerful he was.Kade instinctively shuddered. He felt utterly speechless, thinking he got into deep trouble.His group of companions trembled in fear. Their legs were getting limp to the point where they were about to kneel.“Is that so…Azrael froze before replying with an apologetic tone.“If you can, I’d like to talk to that person.“If he’s actually the useless filth from the family, then I’ll make sure to give you a statement you’ll be happy with.”Azrael’s tone was filled with rage and murderous intent.“Of course.Harvey smiled before hooking his finger before Kade.“Mr. Bolton’s looking for you.“Are you coming here on your own? Or do you want me to go ther
Naturally, Azrael Bolton knew how Harvey York operated. Rather than begging him for mercy, he only allowed him to do whatever he wanted.Harvey faintly smiled.“You’re exaggerating, Mr. Bolton. I only called to ensure I wasn’t going up against someone from the same family.“Since he’s actually your son, then it’ll be easy to handle.“No matter the case, he’s still my junior.“As an adult, I can’t just embarrass myself arguing with him now, can I?”Azrael let out a bitter chuckle.“Thank you for that.”Later, Azrael hung up on the phone.He did not say anything more. He knew everything would be perfectly fine as long as his son behaved.But if Kade Bolton insisted on going against Harvey, it would be good for him to learn an unforgettable lesson.After all, Kade was arrogant. It was only a matter of time before he went up against someone far more powerful than him.In Azrael’s eyes, Kade was lucky that he challenged Harvey out of everyone.Other people would have had him ki
Kade Bolton suddenly realized why his own father would give in to Harvey York.The remainder of his resentment and rage disappeared into nothing.He did not expect that Harvey was also a martial arts expert.After seeing what he could do, it was apparent that it would be easy for him to crush everyone in the place.He was probably a league above Azrael Bolton!‘He’s impressive!‘I would’ve been dead if I didn’t listen to my father!’Bam!Harvey did not waste any time. He knew the rich playboy would still have lingering rage if he did not take his lesson to heart.That was why he decided to smash a bottle right on Kade’s head.Blood spurted all over the place when the bottle shattered into pieces.Kade grunted before stumbling back.It was painful. It was a miserable sight, but he would not dare have other thoughts anymore.“You came for my woman, so I smashed your head. You don’t have any qualms about that, do you?”“No!” Kade exclaimed while covering his shaking head.B
After Kade Bolton and the others had left, Harvey York went to wash his face before leaving the bar with a bottle of water in his hand.It was oddly quiet outside. Nobody even dared to breathe at this moment.But even so, a lot of people were trying to peek inside. They wanted to see how Harvey was going to end up.A group of people stood together while shivering in the night wind.Harvey could immediately tell that it was Xynthia Zimmer and the others.Harlem Lee and the others were trembling in excitement, as if they barely managed to survive.At the same time, they were doing their best to persuade Xynthia.Imani and Kenzie were pretty headstrong, trying to leave with Xynthia.She shook her head, pushing the people away when she thought of heading inside alone.That said, Imani, Kenzie, and Dayna always stopped her from doing that.An altercation could be heard, making quite a few people turn their heads.That said, Kade Bolton was the instigator. They were not planning t
“It’s fine.“You didn’t know that we would bump into those people.Harvey York patted Xynthia Zimmer’s back to comfort her.“You didn’t ditch me either.“I asked you to leave.“I should be the one apologizing.“Besides, a young lady like you wouldn’t do anything good for me anyway.“I’m fine now, aren’t I?“That’s what’s important, right?”Harvey raised his finger to wipe off Xynthia’s tears.“I’m sorry, Harvey! I’m really sorry!” exclaimed Xynthia.“I tried everything! I tried calling Tyson Woods, but it didn’t go through…“I wanted to call the cops, but the busy tone kept playing…“Sob sob sob…”Xynthia felt completely helpless when she was finally relieved about the situation.“Stop taking advantage of Xynthia already, Harvey!“How shameless can you get?!Imani disdainfully walked over before prying the two away from each other.“You only escaped the situation unscathed because Mr. Lee called his godsister!“If it weren’t for him, you would’ve been dead by now!“
“Besides, Kade Bolton and the others were awful!“They caused all this trouble! What does it have to do with us?!“Right, Harvey. Speaking of, Mr. Lee did help with our safety.“He called many people and also gave so much of his money.“If it weren’t for him, judging from what Young Master Bolton can do, he wouldn’t easily let us off the hook.”Xynthia Zimmer showed a grateful expression toward Harlem Lee.After all, he made many calls as soon as everyone got out.When he got to his final number, the fierce men in suits got an order to let him and the others go.In Xynthia’s eyes, Harlem used many of his connections to help.Harvey faintly smiled while looking at him.“Pretty impressive, Harlem!“Just tell me what you did to keep us safe! If you have spent any money, I’ll return the full amount right now,” said Xynthia.“Forget it. It’s not a lot, anyway. I’ll get the money back after two more roles.Harlem waved with a smile, as if he did something significant.“Kade is
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
