“A lowly man from Country H dared us to call people here after completely offending us!“He’s even threatening to castrate Young Master Chiba!“I told him about you—that you’re the man from the John family, served by thousands of others!“And yet, he said that you meant nothing!”Ramon kept fanning the flames.He had a clear goal, and that was to make sure that Harvey suffered a horrible death. As such, he did everything he could to achieve his goal. He thought this was his only chance to serve under Chiba, especially if he stood up for the latter.Chiba naturally heard of Colson’s name before.Seeing Colson, Chiba was instantly filled with confidence. But as he came from a family of aristocrats, he still had his own pride. He wouldn’t bow to a powerful man from Country H—however, he forced himself to smile and nodded. The women around him were filled with admiration when they looked into Colson’s eye.The top ten families were beings more impressive than Chiba! If Colson s
The two locked eyes with each other.Colson crossed his arms, arrogance written all over his face—as if he was planning to crush the entire world.But the moment he saw Harvey, he could feel his mind explode. His eyes began to twitch as fear surged within him. He never thought he’d be going up against Harvey, of all people!‘How?! This is horrifying!’“H…Harvey…” he stammered. Colson started to go limp, his body shaking in fear. He almost fell and kneeled.After getting slapped in the face and getting his own brother and sister killed by the same man, Colson mopped the floors for Harvey to show his loyalty.Unless his own brother stepped up, or the higher-ups of Evermore get involved…Colson wouldn’t dare provoke Harvey, even if he had all the courage in the world.“You’re right, Colson! That’s him, Harvey!”Ramon didn’t realize that there was something wrong with Colson. He lifted his head and nudged it in Harvey’s direction. “Not only did he hurt Young Master Chiba, bu
Colson knew Ramon could do against anyone—anyone but Harvey.It was already bad enough that he angered Harvey. And now, he called Colson here to meet his doom.Worse, Calson had obliged!At this point, he might as well be surrendering his own life. He had sworn his loyalty to Harvey just so that he wouldn’t die!He wasn’t even done cleaning up for himself yet, but here he was, standing right in front of Harvey again!Colson wanted to slam his head to the ground; he also wanted to kill Ramon so badly at the moment.“Well? Young Master Colson?”Harvey washed his hands with the soda, then wiped them with some tissues. When he spoke, his face was playful. “Have you turned mute? Or can you not hear me? Aren’t you planning to take me out?”Colson’s body shivered in fear. “Of course not! I wouldn’t dare…”Colson knew his odds. He was the second young master of the John family, Evermore’s spy, and an expert martial artist.He could flaunt his strength in front of a lot of people. E
“Come here.”Harvey hooked his finger at Colson.Colson dared not stand up, and wriggled his way over to Harvey.Harvey wiped his fingers again, then swung the back of his palm across Colson’s face.Slap!A crisp slap could be heard as Colson’s body swayed. Seconds later, a bright red palm print appeared on his face.“You came here to stand up for your cousin?” Harvey demanded. Colson’s eyes twitched, but he didn’t say a single word.Slap!Harvey slapped him in the face again.“You didn’t even ask who he was working for before you came here?” Harvey went on.Colson hung his head low.Slap!He took another painful slap.“As a member of the top ten families and the country’s top-rated circle, why are you standing up for the Islanders’ lackey?“Do you have no shame?“Your brother and sister died, but you can’t keep your head down?”Colson didn’t dare to utter a single word of complaint. Harvey tapped hid face.“Since you’re of the same country as me, and because you d
Ramon started to go crazy.He couldn’t wrap his head around why his cousin, who had the strength to stand against the Islanders, completely lost his pride and dignity in front of a live-in son-in-law.‘Is this man really that impressive?’Ramon couldn’t believe it!“Is there something you’re mistaken about, Colson?!” he snarled, gritting his teeth.“He’s just a kept man!“A live-in son-in-law!“Why are you scared of him?“Why should we be scared of him?!“With the lift of your finger, he’ll—”Slap!Colson slapped Ramon without hesitation.“Who asked you to harass Sir York’s family?!” Colson yelled.Slap!“Who gave you the courage to blow up Fortune Hall?”Slap!“Who told you to provoke Sir York?”Slap!“Who do you think you are?”Slap!“Kneel and apologize already!”Ramon stumbled backward after getting slapped around repeatedly.A mouthful of blood came out of his mouth soon after. It was a wretched sight. At the end of the slaps, his entire face had become compl
Ramon covered his face, and pointed fiercely at Harvey. He was filled with unbridled rage.“I don’t know what you have on Colson, kid!“But let me tell you something! I’m a real man! I’ll have a chance to be accepted into the Island Nations in the future!“I will never kneel!“Aside from the Emperor, I will never kneel to any other man!”Chiba chuckled coldly.“That’s right!“We have our own pride! Why should we kneel?“We’d rather kill ourselves than do that!”The Islanders there came to their senses, then started screaming in unison. After all, this was the only way to demonstrate their skill.‘What a bunch of idiots!’Colson was completely speechless. He slapped Ramon to keep the latter alive. He hoped that Harvey would be the better man and let these people go…Yet, not only was Ramon oblivious about that fact, he even fanned the flames by saying all those things. He definitely dug his grave! “Fine! Have it your way.”Colson took a deep breath; he decided to break of
Everyone gasped in shock.However, Harvey crossed his arms and approached Chiba calmly. “Your grandfather?“Is a traitor of a man that impressive?“If he comes here, I’ll deal with him too. Do you believe me?”Chiba sized up Harvey again, then burst out laughing.“Hahaha! You’ll deal with my grandfather?“Who do you think you are?“You want to go against my grandfather?“You’ll be dead the moment he blows air on you! You understand?“I strongly suggest you kneel when you see him later!“If you’re too slow, you might not even get a chance to do that!”Chiba scoffed disdainfully at Harvey.He had seen a lot of ignorant people in his life… But it was his first time seeing someone this arrogant and cocky.“We should get Helm Gibson here, Sir York. Maybe get Mr. Bolton here, too,” Shay suggested, her face grim. “Not only does Jakai have a high position, but his strength is also extraordinary.“He’s said to be close to being a God of War.“Even Helm Gibson or Mr. Bolton mi
Everyone was shocked; as expected for Chiba to be this impressive!A single phone call was enough to bring such a prominent figure here.This alone showed how much Jakai looked up to Chiba, and that Harvey was dead for sure.Colson’s face darkened instantly, thinking that he was destined to suffer that day. The moment he decided to side with Harvey, his enemy brought out such a powerful man.He was done for!The women with Chiba were showing their burning passion. They looked down on people from Country H completely, but they admired the strong—especially ones who were into the culture of the Island Nations.That was why they were interested in Jakai.In a place like Golden Sands, Quill and Azrael would have no choice but to step aside once Jakai showed up; let alone Harvey—the fraud of a kept man.Surely he’d suffer a horrible death soon enough!The Islanders were exhilarated. Before, Harvey had thoroughly humiliated them. Since they finally got a chance to repay the favor,
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
