Crack!Harvey stepped on Nameless’s other leg, snapping it in half as well.Nameless lay paralyzed on the ground, filled with pain and misery. He held his body, trying to save what little remained of his pride.Harvey casually picked up a long sword lying on the ground, and held the tip of the blade on Nameless’s throat.“I know you think you’re impressive, Nameless.“You wouldn’t mind playing with me, either.“That said, let me tell you something…“Under normal circumstances, I’d play with you slower—I’d break your bones one by one, and I’ll turn you into a complete cripple.“It’s a shame I have no patience when it comes to my wife.“I’ll ask you one more time: where is she?“Even if you don’t tell me, I’ll find her anyway after you die.”After hearing such words and seeing Harvey’s murderous gaze, together with the long sword, Nameless couldn’t help but shiver despite his arrogance.No matter how impressive he was, his strongest trump card was the fact that Harvey wouldn’
On the other side of the phone, Sakura froze. Then, she chucked lightly.Her laugh sounded a little odd, as if she was possessed by a demon from Hell.Nameless started to get agitated.“Do you not understand me?! Bring her here already!”“I’m sorry, Young Master Nameless.”Sakura’s tone was cold and playful at the same time.“The Shindan Way and the Tsuchimikado Family will end our cooperation with Evermore here. We won’t let Mandy go. Good luck!”Beep, beep, beep!Nameless’s face lost all color. He gripped his phone.He was abandoned!He was the young master of the Faceless Group and a member of Evermore, yet he was cast away so easily!Harvey’s eyes grew cold.Both the Shindan Way and the Tsuchimikado Family were people he had already dealt with in Mordu.He didn’t think they’d still dare cause trouble after losing Akio.He remembered killing Sakura as well…Yet, not only did she survive, but she was also making a strong comeback.Crack!Harvey stepped forward calmly
At this very moment, candles in the dark shrine lit up one after another.An onmyoji in uniform slowly stood up.He slowly stepped away from the shrine. Ghostly howls could be heard behind him as he did. The ruthless experts of the Island Nations couldn’t help but shiver at the sight. Looking at the man, they seemed instinctively horrified.“Your heart is not calm, Sakura. The ghost inside of you will be agitated. It’ll be enraged, causing you to lose control and devour you completely.“I gave you the Tsuchimikado Family’s Talisman Spirit not for you to be swallowed whole.“Do you understand?”Sakura was reminded of an unpleasant memory, and instinctively shivered.“Of course, Young Master Soraru! The Tsuchimikado Family was the one that gave me a second chance at life.“I’ll control myself perfectly! I won’t be devoured by the Talisman Spirit!“Don’t you worry!”“I do hope you remember your words. Don’t disappoint me,” Soraru said. “What’s the situation right now?”Soraru
“Harvey?!”Seeing the figure in the driver’s seat, Sakura gritted her teeth, her expression cold.She would never forget that figure.Harvey was the one who had completely ruined the Shindan Way’s plans back in Mordu. Her teacher, Akio Yashiro, died in his hands as well.She barely survived, but all she could think of was how to rip Harvey to shreds.Just for that, she had prepared many people.The trauma he gave her was too much!Harvey ignored Sakura. When he saw Mandy’s unconscious body, he finally sighed in relief.Now that he had made sure Mandy was safe, he wasn’t worried anymore.“Let Mandy go, and I won’t hurt you,” Harvey said, looking at Sakura with narrowed eyes. He was being as generous as he could.“Let her go? Are you out of your mind?”Sakura finally came to her senses. She tugged Mandy’s hair roughly. “You just had to cause yourself trouble, Harvey!“I’ll kill you right now and reclaim the Shindan Way’s former glory!“Go! All of you!”Soraru looked at Ha
Everyone wanted to take out Harvey and reap the amazing rewards.However, none of them wanted to die in action. If their lives were no more, everything would be over.The experts who were roaring fiercely before quickly looked away, afraid they’d turn into Harvey’s next victim.Swoosh!While the Islanders were in utter chaos, Harvey kicked the car door open and hopped out. He quickly shortened the distance between him and the Islanders.“Go! Go together!” the head of the group screamed, gritting his teeth. He rushed forward, a long sword in hand.Clack!Harvey clapped and snapped the man’s sword in half, and sent it straight at his throat.Blood splattered all over the place, but Harvey didn’t care about that at all. He quickly grabbed a knife from the man and flung it forward.Two experts wielding Rainstorm Needles didn’t have time to react; they fell paralyzed to the ground, clutching their throats.The Rainstorm Needles landed right into Harvey’s hands, and he used them wi
Slap!Harvey casually slapped another expert who was holding a long sword to the ground. He then wiped his fingers with some tissues before glancing calmly at Sakura.“Your lame martial arts won’t do anything to me.“Let go of her, then break your hands. I’ll let you go if you do.“If not, then die.”After hearing those words and seeing that calm look on Harvey’s face, the Shindan Way experts felt as if they had returned to Mordu again.Back then, they were just as furious and helpless when they fought Harvey. They had no other choice aside from fleeing the city.And that night, the exact same thing was happening.The experts were filled with nothing but despair. They didn’t even think to fight back.The Islanders really wanted to rip Harvey to shreds however they could…But after calming down, they understood. Even if all of them came at Harvey at once, they were still nothing to him.Harvey walked forward slowly, and the remaining experts of the Shindan Way instinctively s
Slap!“Shut up, you bitch!”Sakura slapped Mandy furiously in the face, stopping her from talking.Harvey turned cold as soon as he saw it. “Just say the word if you want to die! Nobody’s stopping you!”“So what if I slap her again at this point, Harvey?”Sakura chuckled coldly.“Enough of this! Just tell me if we have a deal or not!“Nameless’s life for your wife’s! You can’t lose like this now, can you?“This benefits both of us!“But if you reject me, the first thing I’ll do after we go our separate ways is kill your wife!”Harvey narrowed his eyes for a moment.“Fine. We have a deal. How do we do this?”Sakura froze. She didn’t think that Harvey would agree that easily.She rolled her eyes before speaking again.“I changed my mind!“Other than Nameless, you have to break your own arms as well!“How about this? I’ll let your wife go after you do that!“And when you bring Nameless here, I’ll let you two leave!“I swear with our Bushido Spirit! How does that sound?”
“Are you okay?”Harvey held Mandy’s slim waist after dealing with the enemies.Mandy had become limp after hearing the gunshot going off beside her ear.“Get out of here, Harvey!” she exclaimed after seeing Harvey’s face.“Go!“These people are up to no good! You won’t get another chance if you don’t get out!“They’re using a Shikigami!”“Right. Let’s get out of here.”At that moment, pillars of black light shone all around.There were eight pillars in total. Every single one was filled with endless murderous intent.Harvey could see the blood on the ground converging toward the shrine; he could sense the malice radiating off them.Soraru, who had been muttering constantly, finally stood up.All of a sudden, he put on a white hat. He turned around to look at Harvey with narrowed eyes, smiling. “Hello, Sir York, Prince York, Representative York…”Soraru spoke politely, reciting Harvey’s identities. He naturally knew who Harvey was. He was aware of every single identity Ha
"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."
