Lilian Yates was furious.“I don’t give a f*ck!“What do you know?!“I finally made contact with Young Master John! He agreed to meet with Mandy!“What are we supposed to do if Harvey and her got back together?!”Simon Zimmer froze before heaving a sigh.If Blaine John actually married Mandy Zimmer, it would be perfect for both the family and the ninth branch.Then again, it would always be bad to force such a relationship!At this point, Simon and Lilian had no say in the situation.***Half an hour later, Harvey York and Mandy arrived at a Western restaurant beside the Rio River.Mandy bought a change of clothes nearby before putting them on, then ordered some food for Harvey without much effort.Harvey looked odd when he saw the food in front of him. These were all of his favorites after all.Harvey showed a profound look. He knew that he was still in Mandy’s heart.If not, she would not have done such a thing in the first place.“What? You’re trying to keep me here b
On the next day, at nine o’clock in the morning. A red Ferrari 488 was parked in front of the Fortune Hall.Harvey York wore a robe, as Mandy Zimmer requested, before sitting on the passenger’s seat.Mandy stepped on the pedal when the car sped off as quick as lightning.Harvey flipped through the Centennial Book in his hand while on the road.“Why would you need to be so careful about this particular client?“I have to wear all this?”Harvey felt the most comfortable wearing his casual clothes and extremely uncomfortable wearing a robe like this.Mandy briefly hesitated.“I just met the client. He has connections with the Jean family and has a lot of power.“That said, he’s a bit of a loner. He’s not that easy to hang out with.“Then again, I heard there’s a huge problem with his house. He has been getting headaches and nightmares all year round. He’d even get palpitations whenever he dozed off during the day.“It’s said that he asked for countless well-known doctors to hel
Mandy Zimmer signaled Harvey York to leave the car when she approached the security guard before the entrance.“Hello. I’m Mandy Zimmer of the Jean family’s ninth branch. I brought a geomancy expert to help,” she said politely.“I already called Ms. Amora beforehand.”The security guard took a few good glances at Mandy before taking his walkie-talkie out. Then, he hung up and pressed a button, opening the gate for Mandy and Harvey to head inside.The two came across an elegant-looking garden.A woman with a pretty face and a beautiful long dress walked out from the villa not far ahead.She was exuding the aura of an upperclassman. She looked just like a high and mighty princess, looking down at the entire world.She glanced at Mandy before calmly speaking.“Hello, Mrs. Zimmer.”She had her arms completely crossed, not wanting to make any sort of contact with Mandy.This was enough to show just how prideful she actually was.Harvey squinted at the woman in front of him. Judgi
At the same time, he recognized the person’s identity.He was Brayan Foster from one of the top ten families.“Mrs. Zimmer’s here, Father!”Amora Foster respectfully stepped forward after seeing the man before her.“She brought a young man who she calls the best geomancy expert in the city.”She was clearly filled with disdain the moment she said those words.Naturally, she was not interested in a young man who took such a title.Even then, she would not kick Harvey out herself. She wanted to let Brayan make the decision instead.Judging from this, it was enough to show just how much she respected her father.“Thank you, Mandy.“The top ten families are banded together. Just come to me if you need any help.“You really don’t have to be this courteous.”Brayan did not seem prideful at all. He stood before politely shaking hands with Mandy like a true gentleman.Harvey spread his energy to scout the place before understanding Brayan’s situation.“You’re too kind, Mr. Brayan
If Mandy Zimmer was not the head of the ninth branch…And if the top ten families were not banded together…Mandy would not even be allowed past the front door in the first place.“I understand what you mean.”Brayan Foster did not show much respect, but Mandy was still showing a smile on her face.“I heard you got into problems that only a geomancy expert could fix.“That was why I brought Sir York, the best geomancy expert in the city, to help.“If you don’t mind, why not let him give it a go?”Mandy knew it would be hard to get in Brayan’s good graces. That was why she asked Harvey York here. She would not dare reveal that Harvey was her ex-husband either.It would be hard to do anything if she did.But from another perspective, she hoped she could break the ice with Harvey’s geomancy arts.“The best in the city?“Him?”Brayan glanced at Harvey before showing a disdainful expression.Harvey was wearing a robe with a Centennial Book in hand…But in Brayan’s mind, he wa
Mandy Zimmer understood that there was no saving the situation anymore.“I’m sorry,” she said after heaving a huge sigh.“Excuse me for disturbing you. I’ll be off now.”“Oh, Amora. Please send off the guest properly. Give this young man 1.5 million dollars as a small gift for the consultation fee. They came all the way here for this after all.”Soon after, Brayan Foster picked up his scripture again.“Remember, don’t let anyone disturb me other than Mr. Davis.“I need to rest.”Time was the most precious thing for a prominent figure like Brayan.Wasting time on ordinary people was no different than wasting his own life.Amora Foster lightly nodded.“I understand.”She disdainfully pulled out a checkbook and threw a check before Harvey York after signing it.Naturally, she wanted Harvey to pick it up from the ground as a form of humiliation.Harvey showed a faint smile.He already figured out what was going on with Brayan.It would not be difficult for him to deal with t
Harvey York did not mind at all.“Brayan Foster’s a powerful man from the top ten families after all…“It’s only natural for him to look down on a small fry like me.“This has nothing to do with you.“More importantly, I’m sure they’ll beg for my help soon enough.”Harvey showed utter confidence in his calm words.Other than his experiences preventing him from getting angry at such a trivial matter, he believed his words would come true sooner or later.Mandy Zimmer heaved a sigh after seeing Harvey unperturbed.“Maybe I should treat you to a meal tonight…”Harvey smiled faintly.“What? Don’t you hate eating with me?“Why the sudden change? Are you trying to hook up with me or something?”Mandy was infuriated. She wanted to kick Harvey, but there was no way since the two were in the car.Right when the two were fooling around, the villa gate slid open again.A short-haired woman in business attire walked out with eight bodyguards with loaded firearms.The woman was Amora
The bodyguards immediately placed their hands on their firearms, ready to pull the trigger if the conversation went wrong.“Let’s go, Mandy.”Harvey York smiled before patting Mandy Zimmer, frozen in place, for her to drive. Then, the car slowly turned toward the direction of the Ostrane One.The assistant frowned when she looked at where the Ferrari was going.“That’s the legendary Ostrane One, you two.“A mysterious prominent figure lives there.“It’s best that you don’t get too close. If not…“You might suffer the consequences.”The assistant showed a playful expression.In her eyes, the country bumpkins before her were just showing off in their Ferrari. Nobody knew whether the car was theirs or just rented…They would probably take pictures with the Ostrane One for a few hours after finally getting into the Ostrane Bay’s villa area.According to the assistant’s knowledge, Darius Jackson gifted the Ostrane One to a mysterious man.He also ordered nobody else to get close
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
