Blaine waved his hand, and a golden badge on the table fell to the ground. The middle-aged man showed a horrible expression, filled with utter despair.‘He’s Blaine! The young master of the John family!’Nobody knew that he was actually a God of War!Despite his well-known reputation in Golden Sands, everyone only knew that he was a cautious and scheming man…Nobody even thought that he was a God of War in the first place!He was simply too discreet! He hid his strength so well!Dragon Cell had provoked someone they shouldn’t have!An hour later, at the entrance of a relatively quiet residence on Wolsing Road.Harvey looked at the place with an odd expression.He dialed Dragon Cell’s phone, but the call was hung up soon after. He got another call not long after, telling him to show up and cooperate with the investigation.After comforting Mandy and Xynthia, who were in shock, Harvey got Thomas to drive him there.If he didn’t know that Dragon Cell was a discreet organization
“I’m warning you! You better be honest and spill everything out! If you don’t, I’ll cut your damn tongue out piece by piece!”Harvey let out a sigh after hearing those words.“I’m a good citizen. I’ve been awarded a medal for that, too.“It’s already bad enough that you’re not rewarding me the same!“And now, you’re threatening me too?“Do you think I’m the prime suspect?“You probably don’t even act the same way with Blaine or Darby now, do you?”Harvey smiled, and put his cup down. He sized up the two people in front of him, curious.The woman suddenly stopped speaking, and glared coldly at him. The man, on the other hand, burst out laughing.“You must be joking, Mr. York!“It’s our honor for you to report this to us!“We’re happy to lend aid to our citizens.“But you should know, not everyone can have access to this organization.“Why don’t you tell us how you did it?“It’d be hard for us to cooperate if you don’t. You understand me, don’t you?”Naturally, the man and
Harvey glared coldly at them. Dragon Cell was one of the country’s four cornerstones, yet…They were involved in such shady business.Harvey was impressed with Blaine as well. At this point, it was probably impossible to deal with the situation using only Kanae.“Alright, Mr. York.” The man smiled gently. “My partner is a little grumpy today. No need to get scared. Can you describe the entire situation?“The more detailed, the better…“If you tell the truth, I’ll plead for a lesser sentence for you when the time comes.”His soft tone didn’t seem threatening at all… And yet, his seemingly harmless words felt more destructive.Harvey squinted at the two in front of him, leaning on the chair. It seemed there was a need to clean up the organization.That said, he wouldn’t mind telling the truth.The man and woman revealed horrible expressions after hearing Harvey’s words. They didn’t think that Harvey would still tell the truth under such circumstances.If they went with the usu
It wouldn’t be hard for Harvey to deal with the situation…But since Carver was confident that he’d be able to help, Harvey decided to keep quiet. He also wanted to see just how powerful Blaine was for Golden Cell to be this terrified.Half an hour later, Harvey showed up in front of Golden Cell’s entrance. According to the deal, Carver would give him an explanation of the entire situation the next day.That was why Harvey planned to wait and see just what would happen.That said, Harvey didn’t go back immediately after leaving the Golden Cell—he went to look for Kairi instead. After all, she understood just how powerful both the John family and Blaine were.After giving her a call to ask for her location, he called a cab to a private clubhouse.Kairi’s secretary, who had been waiting for a long while, respectfully led Harvey into a spacious room.Kairi was on a call with someone. She was standing on a balcony separated by a wall.“How?!” she exclaimed with a furious expression
“Now that the princes are coming back, I fear that the Patel family won’t have a lot of time to relax.” Kairi sighed. Harvey frowned. “Are you afraid of getting robbed off your position?”Kairi shook her head.“Not really. I’m a part of the main branch. Even if I’m not in charge, my position will still remain. At most, my words wouldn’t hold that much weight.“However, we finally managed to band together with the Hermit Families. With this, we can finally fight the John family.“Under such circumstances, the princes’ return will only cause infighting within the family…”“Sigh. If we’re not careful, the Patel family will lose its strength and become the John family’s vassals in the future.”Kairi was worried; she didn’t think that the Hermit Families would be able to go against the John family if the Patel family got in trouble.After all, Blaine was from the John family.Harvey pondered for a moment.“Was Blaine the one spreading rumors of your grandfather dying?“If it was
Vroom!Sounds of engines could be heard. Many cars parked in front of them, exuding terrible dominance.The people around the place were frightened, and quickly stepped away.The Patel family bodyguards instinctively pulled out their firearms.A dozen people in uniforms swarmed out as soon as the car doors opened. The person leading the group was a handsome man.It was Golden Cell’s second-in-command… Carver Ruiz!Carver ignored everyone else, and strode toward Harvey and Kairi with his subordinates.“Who are you people?” Kairi frowned, glaring at them. “Do you know what this place is?”Her bodyguards instantly raised their firearms, their expressions fierce.Harvey narrowed his eyes and looked curiously at Carver’s smug arrival. This man was playing both sides, after all.“Carver Ruiz of Golden Cell.” Carver smiled gently as he revealed his license to kill.“My position isn’t that high—I’m only the second-in-command.”Kairi narrowed her eyes after hearing about Carver’s
“Probably not.”Carver smiled.“But it’s still easy for us to kill a person or two. If not, what would happen to our reputation?”Carver then waved his hand.“Come! Take the suspect away!”A dozen men in red uniforms stepped up, with safeties off their firearms. Their faces were frosty, and they looked fully prepared to take a life away.“We’ll see if you dare!”Kairi glared coldly at Carver.“You use my name to bail Harvey out, and now, you’re slandering him and giving him bogus charges? Do you really think my position is just for show?!”Kairi wasn’t sure who was really behind the entire situation, but… She knew Harvey would be in a lot of danger for this. He had gone against too many people in the city.If he was actually locked behind bars, too many people would make sure it stayed that way.Following Kairi’s command, her bodyguards raised their firearms, looking grim. The air tensed up instantly.Carver smiled calmly as he looked at Kairi.“Of course I know just how i
Carver’s expression changed slightly; he was the man in charge of the situation, yet he felt suppressed by Harvey.“What? Are you unhappy?”Harvey remained calm.“Or are you saying that you’re regretting your decision now?“It’s useless for that. After all, recklessness always has its price.”Carver’s words were used against him. His expression turned horrible after hearing them.“Come on. Stop wasting time! I want to see who a double-crosser like you is hiding behind.”Harvey glanced at Kairi and made a gesture, before casually heading into the back of the Land Cruiser as if he were the actual master.Carver’s face turned gloomy. He managed to terrify a lot of people by using his position in Golden Cell. Even princes and young masters would kneel in front of him after hearing about the organization. They’d either beg for forgiveness, or desperately try to use their connections.Harvey’s reaction was out of the ordinary. Carver was bewildered, and wondered if he had done som
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
